The tall, slender beauty not only worked as a model, but also starred in music videos. After graduating from school, she applied to the university, and then was enrolled in the Faculty of International Relations. However, two years later Kim transferred to a Moscow institute international relations which she successfully completed.
Work in TV shows
While still a student, the girl showed interest in working as a TV presenter, thanks to which she managed to get on television, where she hosted the “Markets” program on the RBC-TV channel. Soon Marina took courses for TV presenters, and in 2006 she tried her hand as an actress, starring in leading role in the film “Serko”, where Alexey Chadov became her partner. In 2007, she was entrusted with hosting the Vesti program on the Rossiya TV channel, and a year later the girl appeared on the evening editions of Vesti, becoming a co-host of Ernest Matskevichyus. Even then, the abilities of the young presenter were noted not only by the channel’s managers, but also by many viewers who were impressed by her artistry, ability to present herself, as well as professional quality. Later, changes came in her career: in addition to working as a presenter, Kim made reports for such programs as “Vesti”, “Vesti on Saturday”, “Vesti Nedeli”.
In the fall of 2014, she moved to Channel One in the program “ Good morning", becoming co-host of Timur Solovyov. With her colleague, Marina not only works for film set, but also often appears at social events.

In 2017, I made short reports about the people of North Korea.
Personal life: novels and having children
Their romantic relationship Kim never spoke with men in public, considering it a closed topic. While participating in the show “Dancing with the Stars,” she was credited with an affair with choreographer Rodion Baryshev, and in 2015 they started talking about a close relationship with American director and producer Brett Ratner. As it turned out, they met several years ago, during her vacation. A year after the first meeting, the TV presenter and director met in Budapest, where they were located due to the nature of their work. From that time on, a relationship arose between them: the Channel One star actively posted photos together with him, calling him My man in the comments, which translated means “my man.”

She did not stay long on maternity leave and within a few months began working on television. Marina has not yet married, but she has a loved one in her life. Grandmothers and nannies help her manage her daughters.

The babies' father also participates in their upbringing: he gives them love and attention, but often cannot afford to be near them. For some time now, Kim has begun publishing pictures of her children on the Internet, which makes her fans very happy. The TV star finds time to go to a performance in Grand Theatre, and also visit the Mariinsky Theater when he comes to St. Petersburg. Her figure can be the envy of many young girls (with a height of 170 cm, her weight is approximately 50 kg), although the beauty herself does not strain herself with training and does not go on a strict diet.

TV presenter Marina Kim told BeautyHack about how to look perfect at 6 am, combine motherhood with live broadcasts and cope with psychological difficulties.
-How do you look so fresh early in the morning?
This is a tough question. Once a month I have a crazy week: live broadcast every morning from Monday to Friday. Filming starts at 6:50, and by 6 a.m. I’m already on set. Every week our mobile studio is located at a new location. Today filming is taking place on Manezhnaya Square - 15 minutes from my house, lucky! Sometimes I go to the other end of the city - for example, if the studio was installed in Tsaritsyno, I would set the alarm for 4:30 in the morning.
Living in this mode regularly is very difficult! Even when you are young and belong to yourself. I have a different situation: for example, today at one in the morning the child had a fever, we immediately went to the doctor. At three o'clock in the morning we went home, and an hour and a half later I began preparing for the broadcast. Let’s add to this the child’s cry: “Mom, stay.”
My whole life is to seek and find some kind of balance. But it begins to seem to me that as soon as I find him, he immediately ceases to exist.
-How do you come to your senses after a frantic week of filming?
I try to spend a couple of days alone with myself. Sometimes I even go to a hotel to sleep! I have two children, there is a constant noise effect in the apartment. It’s impossible to get enough sleep: I’ll still lie there and hear someone falling, someone fighting or wanting to eat. Over the years, I came to the idea that we need to be able to recover. This is what I'm working on now.
I always had the feeling that life was passing me by, although the days were very active. As a child, I went to all kinds of amateur clubs, then I started working as a model, acting in videos, studying and managing to combine all this.
It always seemed to me that I was sitting somewhere at a stop and waiting for the train. Now I have a different impression - that this train carried me so quickly through all the stations, what a joy it is to just sit on a green lawn. Exhale, inhale the scent of flowers. I know I can't live life at a slow speed, but I want to start making stops. So that they do not slow me down, but replenish and restore me.
It seems to me that I am now at such an important stage. He is in everything: in relationships with a man, with children, with my work. I strive to transition to a different quality - and not at the expense of “movement”. Now I'm giving up a lot of activities. Yesterday at three o’clock in the morning, for example, there was the premiere of “Game of Thrones” in the metro. You know, at first I even considered this option. Then I realized that this was impossible: at 6 o’clock they were waiting for me on Manezhnaya Square, and at home there was a child with a fever.
-Marina, how did your life change when you had your second child?
She turned into a nightmare. Why are you laughing? You probably simply don’t have two children.
-No, but it seems to me that this is happiness.
Yes, this is terrible happiness. I wasn't ready for this. I didn’t plan either my first or second child. With my first daughter, everything was filled with some kind of romantic mood. Child, new life, new me. After all, everyone who doesn’t have children thinks that this is an endless state of euphoria and happiness. 5% - maybe 10% - for the lucky ones. The remaining 90% is a lot of problems!
Pregnant girls always think - how can they keep in shape, get rid of stretch marks, come to their senses, so that a man will love them, so that they can succeed in society... What small problems these are compared to what happens later in life! All the structures that you had before your child are collapsing (it doesn’t matter whether it’s your first or second). You are building your life anew, from scratch. Plus - not only for yourself, as you are used to. We study ourselves all our lives, trying to somehow include ourselves in society, build what we want. And here there are wishes specific person- and this is terribly unfair, but you adjust everything to suit her or him. This is the law of life, of nature. It turns out that for the first three years, a woman and her child are inextricably linked physiologically. Such interesting point happens - you do everything simply out of instinct. You are worried, worried, caring for your baby. At the same time, your needs remain inside, but you don’t admit it to yourself. Needs for love, advancement career ladder. They grow and then “explode”.
I once did an interview with Shakira, and she told me this general phrase: “Children are the best thing in life.” And then this thing: “Not only is something amazing happening to you. Something impossible is happening to you.”
A woman who gives birth to a child really discovers a new person in herself. The mother may not be very caring. Everyone talks about postpartum depression, but this is a very inaccurate description: simply all the walls of your personality crumble - to the ground. Of course, in the end you really become smarter, stronger, tougher, more cunning. There is personal growth in this, but it happens like a big renovation - that’s how all of Moscow is now torn up by technology.
After the birth of my first child, I quickly returned from maternity leave and zealously got involved in work, events, and even went to work on a new channel. I decided to try my hand at aerial gymnastics on the “Without Insurance” show. And so, while I was learning how to do a somersault, I realized that I had been pregnant for three months. I felt great disappointment. For me it was a blow with an iron ball, like Miley Cyrus in the song Wrecking Ball - so I met him again.
Perhaps this also makes some sense. You think that you are suited for one thing - for example, all my life I was focused on a career, so everything worked out for me very quickly. I was 150% focused on work goals. Life unfolds everything in such a way as to reveal new options to you.
With my second child I needed to change again active image a life that I reveled in and enjoyed. This is despite the fact that both of my pregnancies were easy - I felt great and worked until the 7th month. I didn’t leave my job - but, naturally, I left the “Without Insurance” project. I could no longer jump a triple backflip on a trampoline, but I did all these “somersaults” on the Internet - I became a blogger. She created a YouTube channel about motherhood and went to America to give birth to show people what such an experience is like.
I carefully distracted myself from the very event of the birth of a child. Some people go into conservation, there are girls who stay for 9 months. On the contrary, I keep myself so busy that I don’t even remember that I’m pregnant. I don’t remember whether I ate or didn’t eat, what tests I passed or didn’t pass. I go to doctors in the first months and already during childbirth. Thank God, my physiology and genetics allow it.
The second child was born, and I again realized that I couldn’t do anything. Moreover, all my children are very nervous - for the first three months they scream and cannot calm down. We tried to use drugs, but realized that this was a peculiarity. I had 4 nannies this time and no one could cope.
I think these are certain signals so that you can cope with me! That’s why there are times when I get distracted by things I don’t need. This is a sacrifice that I consciously make - and now I am learning to make motherhood not a sacrifice.
You cannot allow yourself to do such things - to sacrifice something for the sake of children. When they grow up, you psychologically demand dedication from them. But you can’t do that. It is necessary for everyone to live harmoniously, each with their own lives. I'm trying to fix this.
After 30, some wisdom should come. I am learning to accept that there is a natural course of life. It’s difficult for me to float through it, to be flexible, to look around and be in the flow - but life teaches me this. I am three different people: before the first child, between two children and now. This is very difficult for me - children, children's workload, childhood experiences. I don’t understand women for whom this all flows smoothly. Apparently, it’s just a different nature. My children are constantly trying to curb me.
- Marina, what criteria do you use to select nannies?
Honestly, it's all luck. There are no criteria to look at here.
I had a nanny who worked with us for almost three years. I trusted her more than myself and to my own mother, but the trust, unfortunately, was not justified. Now I don’t create excessive demands - when you start to “dig in”, perfectionism begins to harm. You don’t see the person behind these requirements, but this, unfortunately, is just as important as the professionalism of the nanny. The nanny practically lives with you, you can’t just take her and take her somewhere.
Therefore, unfortunately, this is another family member, but only in the sense of being nearby. And so, I always emphasize distance. I never allow a nanny into my circle, into my experiences. I believe that this is an employee, an employee, and I always have this conversation with her.
- Have you already noticed any talents in your children? Tell us about your observations.
My eldest daughter Briana is an actress. It is obvious! Her whole day goes on like a big performance, we act it out together. Briana wakes up and says, “Mom, it’s a performance!” I say: “Which one?” She: “Now you will be an old woman, I will be a fisherman, and grandmother will be a goldfish.”
All children act out situations they see, fairy tales they hear. But she does it really talentedly. Captures it instantly and presents the stories very beautifully.
When Briana enters the room, she will talk to everyone, everyone will act in the play, but she cannot concentrate on anything for a long time.
The second daughter is more consistent, persistent, and persistent. Girls have terrible jealousy. The eldest even bit her hand right through. They are having a real fight for my attention.
- Do you follow children's cartoons?
Well, of course! Moreover, I know all the songs from there by heart.
-Can you compare yourself with any character?
For some reason I never thought that it was possible to get into a fairy tale. For example, my daughter is everything at once: Moana, Rapunzel, and Rosette. For me it's the other way around. The only fairy tale I liked as a child was about the Proud Queen.
She was so proud! She woke up, and after the ball all her servants were asleep. The Queen was above warning anyone that she wanted to eat, wash and put on a dress. She spent a week in her room and died.
- What do you learn from your children?
From the eldest I learn freedom and expression of feelings. She does it so naturally, I don’t. I am still a product of society and upbringing. I was taught to hide my feelings. Now that they are there, I just don't know how to show them.
But the child knows everything. I look at her and think: “Oh, I should do that too!”
Briana has a sense of adventure. Even when she goes outside, she says: “Well, mom, are we going to have an adventure?” She talks like that - in phrases from cartoons. And that's cool!
From the youngest I learn patience and hard work. She hasn’t yet learned how to get off the couch, she’ll climb down here and there 40 times to figure out how. I am also a workaholic, but my interest quickly disappears, like a flash.
- Marina, do you have beauty rituals?
I am not a slave to my appearance, I can do without beauty treatments. Recently I was in North Korea, made stories for my program. People live there in a very limited way, as if on another planet. There is no good water, care products, or even normal food! But when I have work to do, I can live without food or sleep.
I have always looked at decorative cosmetics from the perspective of a TV presenter. Tone plaster, matte textures, contrasting colors, “Kabuki theater makeup.” I am now reconsidering this approach. For example, I fell in love with highlighter - a makeup artist's nightmare. I still can’t put gloss on my lips - it’s a taboo for me.
Before broadcasts, I put on makeup myself, ten minutes is enough for me.
- What is in your cosmetic bag?
Charlotte's Magic Cream, Charlotte Tilbury (works as a makeup base), Radiant Skin Satin Finish Foundation, Becca (I got my Channel One colleagues hooked on this brand), cream corrector and highlighter in the Instant Look in A Palette , Charlotte Tilbury. I glue tufts to the edges of the eyelashes, line my eyebrows with Long-Wear Brow Pencil, Bobbi Brown and fill the contour with Charlotte Tilbury shadows from the palette.
- Marina, do you have any favorite salons in Moscow?
I’ve been getting my hair and makeup done by Olga Rubets for 15 years now - I’ll never cheat on her! I wear makeup once every 4 months. I use Oribe hair products - they give my hair a perfect look.
I like new salons with a fresh approach - for example, BBBMoscow. For grand exits I turn to “ to the gray cardinal» Russian television- to a secret make-up artist who works on the Rossiya TV channel. If you see perfect makeup on the screen, know that it was his doing.
- Marina, I know that you go to the Pilates studioPMP. Does Pilates replace functional training for you?
The effect of Pilates is amazing - you immediately feel all the muscles. Pilates performs two functions: it gives stress and restores. To enhance the results, it is still better to add functional training and find your balance.
If I go to Pilates 2 times a week and add one or two functional training sessions, my body responds with gratitude.
I go for anti-cellulite massages with Lyusa Petrusenko, at the Fijie salon on Patriarch's. Nowadays it’s not easy to make an appointment with Lucy - there are more and more clients. This is a special massage - Lucy has it from God. I don’t even know what she’s doing and I’m not interested - I just feel that my body is reacting to her. Lucy is famous for her ability to “put your butt in place” and “sculpt” your figure.
- Tell me honestly, do you eat bread and sweets?
Now I have no restrictions, but after the second birth I felt a shock. The weight did not come off as quickly as after the first birth. A stomach appeared, which became a psychological trauma for me.
I tried various procedures, but realized that they don’t work without a diet - then I ordered a course of “Provkus” boxes from fitness bikini Katya Krasavina. I liked it - the weight came off effectively, within a week I got used to this nutrition system, it was not difficult to endure.
- I know that you sent your daughters for massage from the age of 3 months. Was this the right decision?
Yes! Our country has proven to be a leader in this matter. For example, you talk about children's massage in America - people roll their eyes and are completely sure that massage is a hindrance child development. In Russia and India, the practice of massage for children has existed for a very long time. According to my observations, children sleep better after this, and the baby’s body develops before our eyes, the result is noticeable every week. I advise you to look for a massage therapist through word of mouth - this way you will find a specialist whom you will truly trust.
- Marina, imagine that you met yourself on the street at 17 years old. What would you say?
I would smile. You know, sometimes in life you don’t need to say anything. It is useless to try to explain or suggest something. The only thing I missed at 17 years old was warmth, human exchange, a feeling of freeness and openness. When you are young, everything is “seething” in your head, you are hostile to society, to the world, to yourself. It is very important that in this society there is someone who will say “Good morning”, “Good afternoon” to you and smile.
- Who would you like to have breakfast with among the people who have ever lived?
I love the breakfast format. I would have breakfast with four people. With my grandparents...
- Marina, what qualities help you live?
They help... Nothing helps, but there are qualities without which I am not me. Emotionality, haste... Unconsciously I’m in a hurry all the time - I understand that I shouldn’t, but I continue to rush.
There is a quality that I would like to have - to truly love. Some people succeed right away, others over time. I wish I had this.

Marina is not one of those mothers who disappears into her children, she cannot live without her work and self-development, she is not averse to publishing beautiful photo on Instagram and go to social party. By the way, Marina does not talk about her personal life, nor about the father of her girls, whose name is still unknown. The host of “Good Morning” on “First” has two daughters – 4-year-old Briana and 2-year-old Darina. Marina spoke about how she hates playgrounds, why it is difficult for her to spend the whole day with children, haters on Instagram, new projects and dreams in a special project PEOPLETALK and..
Are you in in great shape and feel free to show off your figure on Instagram. How do subscribers react to such photos?
I don't feel my boobs, but even if you can see something just a little, I'll immediately write in the comments: “God, what a nightmare, what a shame, a disgrace, fire her from Channel One, take her children away!” In reality, our society is dense in this regard! Moreover, they don’t stop, their saliva splashes, they cannot digest it at all, they write again, arguments begin, but I must say that there are those who stand up for me.
Are you ready for comments “live”?
We also have conservatives at work. For example, the “Good Morning” program cannot be conducted with an open chest. But for me, for example, when the breasts are like this ( shows) – this is not open, this is normal. But for a program on the federal channel - no. Orthodox activists and pensioners call and argue. On May 9, I had a dress where the shoulders were visible, it turns out that this is not allowed, it looks naked.
Where do you get the strength to not get into a fight? After all, you have two more children!
I must admit - I am not interested in spending the whole day with children, dissolving in them, being Natasha Rostova during motherhood. If I'm with the kids all day, it breaks me down. I don't know anything more boring in life than a playground. It’s like the children are covered in honey there; they ride on the same creaky swing a million times. And when I get there, I feel like the most unhappy person in the world, it seems to me that life is passing me by. And I decided for myself that I didn’t want to spend my life on the playground, so I delegated these powers to the nanny. I am all for spending quality time with children and not behaving in front of them. But the only thing I want to say is that women who do not have money for a nanny, and this is a completely normal story in our country, there are 60-70% of them, so these women accomplish a feat, I say without jokes, without irony. How they cope, I don't know. I couldn't do that.

How do you explain to children that something cannot be done? How do you punish?
I was not beaten as a child, I have no idea how to do it. I explain my position, however, my children taught me that not everything happens at once. They can’t understand everything right away, and I didn’t know this before them. I didn’t know that I needed to give people time to adapt to my request or wish.
Do your daughters know who you work for and watch you on TV?
Yes. I'm coming home from work. They say: “Mom, well, was Timur here today? I was at work?" We also have on our channel new project, in which Briana took part. To get her there, I had to say that she would be a TV presenter. She came, and there was an interview with Dima Shepelev. And she goes on stage, all the cameras are tuned to her, she sits down on a chair, Dima sits opposite, and she tells him: “Who is this? Which TV presenter? I should be the TV presenter here.” It seems to me that the theater is crying for her.
Speaking of work, are you planning new projects?
There are new projects, but I can’t talk about it yet. I participate a lot in Channel One programs as a guest. Just now there was the World Cup, we had forecasts, special broadcasts, and besides, I host concerts. Soon we are going to St. Petersburg and from there we do “Good Morning” all week, because there is a big holiday there in honor of Navy Day. I also really enjoyed working on Red Square. It was Russia Day, and Channel One was organizing a big celebration. On stage, on Red Square, there are 100 thousand people in front of you, and this is a very cool impression. I always work on camera and don’t see the audience, only the cameraman who is eating Doshirak, but here there is such a crowd, a completely different energy, completely different sensations. I now understand why, for example, at his concerts he comes down to the audience from the stage, because it’s such a thrill, such a boost!

Does sport help you to be in a cheerful mood?
Yes, I work out in the studio, because it’s five minutes from home, with a Pilates teacher, but we do a mix. I can't study for an hour. I'm bored, I'm ready to run, I do everything except the classes themselves. That's why I study for only 30 minutes, but every day if there is no work. We take something from Pilates and do something with dumbbells.

Do you teach girls to play sports?
Briana went to antigravity and loved it. But our youngest, Darina, is very athletic, “whipped”, hangs so cool on the horizontal bar, I want to send her somewhere.
Tell me, why don’t you reveal the name of the girls’ father?
Father or fathers? ( Laughs.) When they ask me, I say: “Look at my eldest daughter- blonde, on mine youngest daughter, who is also already becoming a blonde, so what do you want if dad is African-American?” I just got so used to joking about this that I stopped reacting to it altogether. To be honest, I have had experiences where I shared details of my personal life, and I didn’t like it. I didn't like how it affected the relationship itself. I didn’t like how it affects work, when everyone comes up and starts finding out something, asking, commenting. That's not mine. I’m ready to be very frank about motherhood, about work, about what kind of person I am, but everything that concerns personal things...
