Sometimes children who grew up in a celebrity family know nothing about their biological parents. However, real parents are those who raised, educated, gave love and tenderness
Deciding to adopt a child is a difficult step even for an ordinary woman. What can we say about an artist whose every day is scheduled - tours, filming, concerts, recordings, and whose life is constantly under the radar of the media.
However, there are many cases where representatives of show business become wonderful, truly natural mothers for adopted children. About them - in the material E.G.. RU.
Tatiana Ovsienko
Famous singer Tatiana Ovsienko lived a busy life - performed in concerts throughout the country. One day, fate brought her to distant Perm, and there she was invited to a charity event at the Orphanage. By that time, Tatyana already knew: she couldn’t have her own children. That's what the doctors said.
All the kids in the Baby House were having fun, running around, laughing at the holiday, and a little three-year-old boy sat alone on the sidelines. He alone did not participate in the fun. The singer asked the staff what was wrong with him. “Heart pathology,” answered the employee of the Orphanage with a sigh. It turned out that the boy’s parents abandoned him immediately after birth after learning about his heart disease. And now, according to doctors' forecasts, he only has a little time left to live - a few months, and maybe even weeks...
Tatyana could not come to terms with this. She found a clinic where the baby with sad eyes underwent surgery. All the time while the child was recovering from a serious operation, the singer was with him, and then she told her husband that she could no longer part with this boy, she wanted him to become her son. And since then Igor lived with his mother Tanya.
True, certain problems began in adolescence, and here Tatyana’s ex-husband at that time provided enormous support - Vladimir Dubovitsky. He took the boy to America, where he then lived. Igor still lives in America, but often flies to his mother in Russia.

Actress who played the radio operator Kat in the popular TV series “Seventeen Moments of Spring”, she raised a talented daughter - an actress Maria Mironova. But at 47 years old Ekaterina Gradova for the second time I had the opportunity to become a mother, only this time for an adopted child.
Having once again visited an orphanage for charity, Catherine could not pass by a two-year-old boy. She was very worried about how her husband would react to her desire to adopt the baby. However, her husband only supported her idea. Gradova’s adopted son is the same age as her grandson.

Singer Margarita Sukhankina, to the soundtracks of which the soloists of the group “Mirage” once performed, she could not forgive herself that in her youth she refused the opportunity to give birth to a child by having an abortion at the request of her husband. After that, she tried several more times to carry her to term and give birth, but then the doctors deprived her of her last hope, assuring her that the singer was infertile.
Sukhankina saw two orphans from an orphanage on TV. 4 year old Seryozha and 3 year old Lera immediately won the singer’s heart, and she went to another city to pick up her children. So 48-year-old Margarita finally became a mother.
Only now does she feel, as she admits, completely fulfilled and happy. Margarita does not consider herself a heroine - she simply does not understand how she could live without her children before.

But now they are together again. Tatyana Ovsienko told the TV program magazine about her new life.
— Tanya, what are you doing now?
- Sasha is nearby, so I can just return to life and breathe it. First of all, I took up work in full force. I still apologize to my musicians - since I was practically absent all this time.
— Did you not have enough health and strength to work?
“I had enough health, but no physical strength and time.” For example, I didn’t agree to fly to Vladivostok, because I understood that I wouldn’t be able to make it from there in time for a date with Sasha. And no matter how much the producer swore at me, he was able to keep the team together. The musicians worked part-time for other artists, but now, thank God, everything is nearby. Now I think that I shouldn’t have relaxed so much - I should have managed to do everything. But these years my priority was taking care of Sashka.
— Tanya, if you didn’t work, how did you pay for the lawyers? Have you spent your savings?
- No! Why?! We traveled around the regions - performed in clubs, concert halls, and at corporate events. Although I’m glad that nature reserves are no longer in fashion - I prefer to sing for people on the grounds. These were one-time performances. And now I got to the studio - I disappear there for days. I received an offer from Max Fadeev, and we started working with him.
— Are you writing an album? Will it be another Ovsienko?
— For now these are a few songs, and then maybe we’ll record an album. Fadeev is a unique, amazing and interesting person. She suggested: “Maybe we should record something fashionable?” But he is against it - Max has his own vision of me, and I trusted him. I plan to shoot several videos, I dream of a solo show in Moscow, in which I will combine old and new programs.

- “Beyond the Pink Sea”, “Trucker”, “Women’s Happiness” - people know your hits from the 90s by heart. Why do we remember the songs of the last century better than those that the stars sing now? Has it become more difficult to buy a good song?
- Much! Remember the lyrics of the group “Mirage”: “Music has connected us”, “Where are you, my new hero?”, “I don’t ask anymore”? Where are these texts now?! I always ask Lityagin (Andrey Lityagin - composer, producer of the Mirage group - Author): “Write the same songs!” No, he doesn't succeed again. The songs are now kind of disposable - they listened to them and forgot about them. Maybe because there is too much music and musicians? Why do people often listen to retro music now? They probably remember how the songs coincided with their mood in life, and the lyrics were written correctly and honestly. I found and promoted some songs myself. Let’s say, when Sasha was in prison, they brought me the song “To the One I Love.” I couldn’t help but take it - it matched my mood and feelings. She is well received at concerts, although she is slow, and they go worse.
— Isn’t Sasha jealous of work? Is it easy for you to go on tours and concerts?
- Do I know?! Wait and see. Although he says: “Now you’re going to Vitebsk, why don’t you invite me with you? Can I go with you? I don't mind - let's go! I think that in Sashka I have found a person and a friend whom I will trust. I don’t like being controlled, I start to withdraw and push away. Both time and age are such that we feel when who needs what. I explained to Sasha that I really wanted to catch up. Moreover, now I’m just flying.
— When Alexander was in prison, how?
“I struggled with stress on the gym: when my arms and legs started to hurt, then my heart went away. After a while, I learned to accept the situation; patience and love, the desire to make the life of another person easier, saved me. And at first, of course, I often cried and panicked.
— During your relationship with Alexander, you lived through two very difficult situations for a woman. We dated a married man. And then they waited for him to leave prison. What turned out to be more difficult?
— It was more difficult to survive the imprisonment. Sasha appeared in my life after many years of loneliness. By that time, I had not lived with Vova (the singer’s ex-husband - author) for ten years and did not make plans for a serious relationship. For me, the main things were Igor’s son and work. I reasoned like this: if from time to time some loves appear in life, then they will not be able to interfere with my goals and I will not give up on them. I'm a living person! Therefore, when nine years ago I came to visit friends for a couple of days and met Sasha there, I had no intention of starting a serious romance. But, probably, this was ordered from somewhere above. Fell in love.

- It was difficult to?
- To be a mistress? I couldn't come to terms with this. I wondered: do I need this? I am a free and strong person who has not had any relationship for a long time, and now I have such a man. But I couldn't breathe without him. I thought: if the Lord God gives such a test - to be not the first, but the second, am I ready for this? I reproached myself, went to church and prayed, thinking: what to do next? But she didn’t ask Sasha any questions - she didn’t talk about divorce, since at the beginning of the relationship he said that family is sacred. I accepted this, especially since I have my own family - a son. At some point, Sasha said that he and his wife decided to separate. It was not easy to understand that I was hurting someone, but people should understand relationships themselves. And only Alexander gave me the keys to the apartment, which was supposed to become our nest, when literally a month later he was arrested.
It was more difficult to survive his imprisonment - it was a strong blow. At first I did all sorts of stupid things: I gave money to people who promised to save Sasha. When I came on the first date, he said that he would serve as long as he was supposed to and there was no need to sell cars or apartments.
— Did you spend a lot of money before you figured out the situation?
“Without consultation, I sold one of my apartments and spent the fees for concerts illiterately. I thought I’d give money and Sasha would be released.
At first I did stupid things: I gave money to people who promised to save Sasha
— Did you write letters to each other?
- We have a thousand of them between us - we built relationships in letters, separation educated us. Then Sasha was acquitted, and we lived together for two years.
— Alexander got divorced then?
- Yes. But it was still two difficult years. It’s one thing to meet once every three months with your lover or communicate by correspondence and dream of a date, and it’s a completely different thing when two people who are 50 years old, with their own principles and characters, begin to live together. The adjustment was not easy - I can’t stand in the kitchen all day long, I need personal space... But as soon as we got used to each other, we were arrested again. This time Sasha was taken away from me for a year. I perceived the situation as temporary and just waited. Now finally together. Thank God, we learned to talk and negotiate. But the main thing is that we love, and everything else is not so important. As Sashka says, we want to live in love “until the birch tree” - so that, as in a fairy tale, we die one day.
— What is the “prevention of quarrels” in your family?
“As soon as I feel that a quarrel might start, I sit down to knit.”

— Does Sasha give flowers, look after them?
— He hasn’t stopped giving flowers, he reads poetry. Now he is returning to normal life - setting up a business, meeting with children (from his first marriage, Alexander Merkulov has a 20-year-old daughter and a 16-year-old son. - Author).
— Many women want to get married. Alexander has called you several times over the past three years. But you still couldn’t decide. Why?
“I didn’t want to get married, I don’t care anymore.” But Sasha proposed getting married, and I said: “Yes.” And then, God willing, we really want children together. I don’t know if God will give them to me, although women at my age give birth. Sasha suggests using the services of a surrogate mother. I haven’t decided yet, we’ll go through the examination and think about it. But for now we are not dealing with this issue.
—Who supported all these years, and who betrayed? Do you still have a grudge against someone?
— Igoresh’s son, parents, friends Lolita and Yulia Puzyreva, my producer Igor Arkhipov, several of Sasha’s friends supported and helped. I don’t hold a grudge against anyone, but I have erased some friends from my heart. I will not mention their names, because these are high-ranking people in government and other spheres. Since moving to Moscow in 1988, I considered them people close in spirit and heart, and even baptized the children of some of them. As soon as Sasha’s arrest happened, I couldn’t get through to them and had to talk through press secretaries. Some people decided that communicating with me could harm their career and position. Maybe there was such a possibility - perhaps they could also be understood. But I don’t even know what hurt more painfully at that moment: Sasha’s arrest or the betrayal of loved ones. Moreover, I didn’t need help - I just wanted to continue being friends. And now I’m grateful to fate that this happened: it’s better to go through such a situation once than to spend my whole life thinking that I can trust these people. Now everything is fine, and they call again - I talk, but I don’t let them into my heart anymore, I keep them at a distance.
— Alexander and your son found a common language? Igor lives in America with his wife and son. When will you see each other?
— At the end of July, my ex-mother-in-law has an anniversary, for which Igoresha and his family will fly. I am in touch with them every day via Skype, but I really want to see each other and cuddle my grandson. My son completed preparatory courses in America, started studying at the university in September, and in the summer he decided to work as a head waiter.
Igoresha became friends with Sasha a long time ago - even before his arrest. Alexander helped his son survive his first unhappy love. Igoresha is now calm about me, when Sashka was released, he said: “Mommy, I’m so glad that you’re happy now and won’t call and check whether I’ve eaten or not.”

Biography of Tatyana Ovsienko
She was born in 1966 in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, into a simple family. Mom worked as a laboratory assistant, dad worked as a truck driver. Tanya’s mother was only 17 years old when her daughter was born. The family did not live well, the future star’s first home was a dorm room, and four years later, in 1970, Tatyana’s newborn sister, Victoria, was brought there. We bought a spacious apartment later. Nevertheless, they lived amicably, the parents took care of the girls and strived for them to grow up diversified. Little Tanya Ovsienko began figure skating from the age of four, which required a lot of time and effort. Then there were gymnastics and swimming. And at the same time there is a music school and vocal classes in the children's ensemble “Solnyshko”. The latter, by the way, was very famous and appeared more than once on central television in “Merry Notes”, “Alarm Clock” and “Morning Mail”.
With such a variety of additional classes, Tatyana also managed to study well in secondary school. And she graduated from music with honors.
The parents hoped that their daughter would become a teacher, but the future star chose a different path for herself: she entered the only Hotel Management College in the entire USSR. At that time, the Union had a graduate distribution system, and after graduating from the educational institution, in 1987, Tatyana got a job as an administrator at the Bratislava Hotel. The hotel was prestigious; various celebrities and foreign guests often stayed there. And it is this place that can be called fateful in the girl’s life.
During a tour in 1988, the then mega-popular band Mirage stopped in Bratislava, where Natalya Vetlitskaya was the soloist. And this had to happen, but the team met Tatyana Ovsienko’s lover, a local musician. He was offered a position as a keyboard player in the group. The young man left for Moscow, and after a while Tatyana left too. Vetlitskaya hired Tatyana as a costume designer.
Then it happened that Natalya Vetlitskaya left Mirage, and Ovsienko became the soloist. True, for this the girl had to lose as much as 18 kg in her body. Nevertheless, the star stage was worth such sacrifices. Tatyana performed together with the second soloist, Irina Saltykova. True, the girls sang to the soundtrack of Margarita Sukhankina.
Success came to Ovsienko with the hit “Music Connected Us.” At “Song of the Year – 1989” the girl was recognized as the opening of the festival and its laureate. With the Mirage group, Tatyana Ovsienko gave more than 2 thousand concerts.
And this same successful year of 1989 became a real test for the singer, a test of strength. Tanya had an accident and could not walk for a long time. But perseverance and patience did their job: we gradually managed to overcome the consequences of the injury, although for some time I had to perform sitting down.
Ovsienko sang with Mirage until the end of 1990. Then there was a scandal due to the fact that the soloists sang in voices other than their own - they performed to Sukhankina’s soundtrack. Tatyana came under attack and had to leave the team.
But since 1991, the singer, with the support of her husband, has created her own group “Voyage”. And then he begins his solo career.
She gives concerts not only for the sake of fees, but also supports people who find themselves in difficult situations, the military in hot spots. In 1993, Ovsienko performed for people affected by the earthquake in Yerevan, and in 1995 - in Karabakh. In 2000 there was a concert in Kosovo, in 2001 - in Chechnya, Karabakh, Ingushetia. By the way, in Chechnya Tatyana Ovsienko received awards “For Military Valor” of the first degree and “For Service in the Caucasus.”
She releases several solo albums, many songs remained at the top of the charts for a long time: “Beyond the Pink Sea”, “My Sun”, “Ring”, “Don’t Forget”, “School Time”, “Trucker”, “Shores of Love” "
In 2006, Tatyana Ovsienko recorded the song “Love Hurts” with the lead singer of Nazareth. And in 2013 she released her next album, “Time”.
Tatyana even acted in films, for example, her last role was in the TV series “Give Youth.” In addition, the singer participated in the popular shows “Dancing with the Stars” and “The Last Hero”.
Personal life of Ovsienko
Tatyana Ovsienko’s first husband is producer Vladimir Dubovitsky. The singer met him in Kyiv, while working in Bratislava. Dubovitsky came to Kyiv with the Elektoroklub group, as the director of the group and also as the husband of Irina Allegrova. But that acquaintance was fleeting; no one imagined that after a few years it would develop into feelings and a long marriage, lasting 18 years.
Vladimir and Tatyana met when Ovsienko was already the lead singer of the Mirage group. And in 1993 they got married. True, the relationship between the spouses was complex and more like friendship than love.
In 1999, during one of her tours in Penza, Tatyana supported a charity event in the Orphanage. And there she drew attention to a boy with a heart defect. The singer agreed on an operation in Moscow and paid for the baby’s treatment. And then she decided that little Igor should be her son. After the hospital, the boy went home to Tatiana and Vladimir. The singer literally confronted her husband with a fait accompli and, after the adoption, completely devoted herself to motherhood, enjoying every moment of communication with little Igor.
Meanwhile, relations between Ovsienko and Dubovitsky completely cooled. He found a new love for himself, Miss Russia – 2003 Yulia Akhonkova. In 2003, their daughter was born. And then Tatyana herself suggested that Vladimir Dubovitsky get a divorce. The couple officially filed for divorce in 2007.
Tatyana Ovsienko raised her son and dreamed of meeting true love. And this one appeared in her life. In Crimea, at her friend’s house, she met businessman Alexander Merkulov. It was a sincere and deep relationship, Tatyana literally fell headlong into it. But cloudless happiness was overshadowed by a serious test, it became a real test of feelings for lovers: in 2011, Alexander Merkulov was arrested and charged with several serious charges, one of the main ones was organizing attempted murder.
Merkulov spent three years in a pre-trial detention center. All this time, Tatyana was having a hard time with the separation and did everything to rescue her loved one. She hired and paid for lawyers, went on dates and never gave up hope. She was very supported by her close friend Lolita Milyavskaya. In 2014, Alexander was released from pre-trial detention center. The couple is going to legalize their relationship.
And in June 2015, Tatyana Ovsienko had a grandson. The singer's son Igor became a father. He met his wife in America, where he left several years ago. Tatyana flew to the USA for the baby’s christening and believes that her grandson is a new big and joyful page in her life.
