Large acting families. Parents of many children among celebrities
7 children
In September 2015, in the family of a famous Russian actor Evgenia Tsyganova and his wife, actress Irina Leonova, a long-awaited event occurred: the couple had a seventh child together - daughter Vera. The birth of the baby made the star of the series “The Thaw” one of the most fathers with many children in the Russian artistic community.
By the way, before her marriage to Evgeny, Irina Leonova was married to actor Igor Petrenko, with whom they studied together at the Shchepkinsky School. Leonova had no children from Petrenko, but the family union with Tsyganov bore fruit. In addition to the youngest, Vera, the acting couple has two more daughters: 10-year-old Polina and 5-year-old Sofia, and four sons: 9-year-old Nikita, 6-year-old Andrei, 4-year-old Alexander and one-year-old Georgy.
Evgeny himself, who is considered gloomy and human in the acting community, categorically refuses to comment on his personal life. Only once did the popular actor answer the media’s question about something in his family. “Rot in hell, the people who are spying on me now! Let everyone take care of their families, do something useful, plant a tree. I hope people will stop reading tabloids and start reading books. I hate gossipers and situations in which my personal life is discussed. What difference does it make to them how many children I have? Six, eight or ten... These are my children and my life,” - the most large Russian actor.
Being a mother of many children is a responsible and serious job that not every woman can do. However, many Russian stars successfully combine active creative work and raising children.

This Sunday, Russia will celebrate Mother's Day. The good holiday appeared here relatively recently, 17 years ago, but has already become quite popular. On the eve of November 29, we decided to remember which of the domestic stars successfully combines a career with motherhood. We present to your attention the top 10 star mothers with many children.
Ekaterina Klimova
The star of domestic TV series Ekaterina Klimova became a mother for the fourth time on October 2. The talented actress is raising two daughters and two sons: one-and-a-half-month-old Bella, 14-year-old Lisa, as well as 9-year-old Matvey and 7-year-old Korney. At the same time, a mother of many children adheres to very simple rules in communicating with children: “Children, in an amicable way, can only be raised by example and authority. They see the actions of their parents around the clock. And no words will work if my room is a mess or I spend all day lying on the couch watching TV and eating donuts. It’s unlikely that my children will be neat and start doing exercises in the morning,” Ekaterina.
Natalya Vodyanova
Russian top model Natalia Vodianova also has four children, which is quite a feat in her work. Note that the star of the catwalks is also her fifth child. Now Natalya and her second husband Antoine Arnault have a one-and-a-half-year-old son, Maxim, as well as three children from the top model’s first marriage: 14-year-old Lucas, 8-year-old Victor and 9-year-old Neva.
“I know that you need to discuss everything with children. You can’t expect them to immediately understand that mom will have to pay much less attention to them, and more to the little one, especially at first. That is why, literally a couple of weeks after Maksimka’s birth, I took my older children and went with them to Venice for two days. So that this alienation does not arise. They should know that the appearance of a little brother does not prevent their mother from still loving them very much and having a great time with them,” Natalya admits in an interview.
Maria Sittel
Popular TV presenter Maria Sittel has four children. She gave birth to a daughter, Dasha, from her first lover in 1995, who was raised by her grandparents in Penza. Together with her second husband, businessman Alexander, Maria is raising three sons - 5-year-old Ivan, 3-year-old Savva and 2-year-old Nikolai.
Maria speaks with humor about raising four children, although she admits that it is difficult. “I manage everything. Children make us wiser. I don’t know where this understanding comes from, but now the main thing for me is that they are all here, they are nearby, they are mine! When I’m tired, my family sees it, they understand that it’s hard for me and, of course, they try to help.... With one it’s much more difficult, with four it’s easier. This is such a paradox,” admits the TV personality.
Maria Shukshina
Actress and TV presenter Maria Shukshina is now not only a mother of four children, but also. The beauty has 26-year-old Anna, 17-year-old Makar and 10-year-old twins Foka and Foma. In addition, last year Anna gave birth to Vyacheslav.
Once in an interview, Shukshina said that the main thing is in upbringing. According to her, it is important to raise children not spoiled. It is necessary to give children affection and love, but not to coddle with them and not to fulfill all their whims, Maria believes.
Alla Pugacheva
Two years ago, the Russian pop diva became a mother of many children. Alla Pugacheva and her husband Maxim Galkin have twins Lisa and Harry. In addition, the guys have an older sister, 44-year-old Kristina Orbakaite.
At 65 years old, Pugacheva was again able to plunge into the happiness of motherhood. The singer's friends say that she takes touching care of the babies: she spoon-feeds them and sings songs to them. Recently the twins went to kindergarten, where...
Pugacheva admitted that she dreams of living until the moment when her children turn 13 years old and she goes out with them.
Kristina Orbakaite
Alla Pugacheva's eldest daughter Kristina Orbakaite is also a mother of many children. The singer has a 24-year-old son, Nikita Presnyakov, who has already started his own musical career, 17-year-old Denis Baysarov, and a daughter, Klava Zemtsova.
Christina once told how to raise boys: “Relationships with children have been formed for a long time. Moreover, boys need to be brought up in strictness, so I always acted as a commander. Came, left, did homework - everything needs to be controlled. And, naturally, resolve problems that I usually find out about first.”
After the birth of Claudia, Orbakaite admitted that raising girls is more difficult. “I have always believed that raising girls is more difficult. The daughter is more tender and vulnerable. It’s easier with boys, you can say something sternly or, in extreme cases, hit the bottom, the main thing is to raise the boy to be a man of his word, purposeful, strong-willed, independent. So now I’ve started the third series – the most difficult one...,” says the mother of many children.
Valeria
Singer Valeria successfully combines the development of her career with raising three children. Moreover, 22-year-old Anna and 17-year-old Arseny Shulgin are already appearing on stage with their famous mother. 21-year-old Artemy chose a non-creative profession
On Instagram, the singer boasts about the successes and achievements of her children. In education, the star is sure, everything is decided by personal example.

Producer Dima Bilan and socialite Yana Rudkovskaya is also a mother of many children. Now Yana, together with her second husband, figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, is raising three sons: Andrei, Nikolai and Alexander.

The boy’s mother is Baturin’s second wife, Yulia Saltovets, but Yana treats him like family. Yana believes that children should be adapted to life. She wants to see her sons strong, and not majors or mama's boys. Yan strives to set up his older sons for an active position in life. Two-year-old Alexander Yana and Evgeniy are preparing for a sports career.
Chulpan Khamatova
The famous actress and philanthropist Chulpan Khamatova is raising three children - 13-year-old daughter Arina from her first husband, actor Ivan Volkov, 12-year-old Asya from her common-law husband, ballet dancer Alexei Dubinin, and five-year-old Iya from her second husband, actor and director Alexander Shein.
The actress admits that her older daughters are beginning a transition period. According to Chulpan, sometimes she wants to throw a slipper at her daughters, but she knows how to stop. “At that moment, when I want to throw a slipper at my daughters, I, like a mantra, mentally say: “This time will pass and will never return.” And this “will never return” returns me to a situation of detachment,” actress.
Maria Boltneva
The star of "Capercaillie" Maria Boltneva unexpectedly became a mother of many children. The actress gave birth to triplets. Now she is raising four-year-old sons Andrei, Timofey and Platon alone. “I think God is just giving me time to raise my children. The triplets project is the main one today and requires complete dedication from me,” says the 30-year-old actress. According to the mother of many children, her kids have the same cribs, high chairs and toothbrushes, but their clothing styles are completely different.
“Of course, when you come home from work exhausted, and here there are screams, whims, noise, and you need to talk to everyone and delve into the problems - it can be very difficult. But I always try to learn how to manage it and cultivate patience in myself. And when it comes to an end, I leave the children with the nanny and dad and arrange a reboot,” says the actress about the difficulties of raising children.
Let us note that this year the domestic show business has embraced a real baby boom. In 2015, a record number of star families had babies: Victoria Daineko, Ivan Urgant, Ekaterina Klimova, Keti Topuria, Igor Nikolaev, Natalia Podolskaya and Vladimir Presnyakov, Victoria Krutoy, Pavel Volya and Laysan Utyasheva.
