Named in honor of Ivan’s grandmother, actress Nina Urgant, May 15, 2008. " I am not strict, I am not attentive enough, but I am a reverent father. It's hard for me to raise the children I love so much. In general, I think they will twist ropes out of me." - Ivan about fatherhood.

"I don’t really like to just lie around and see children so rarely that if I have the opportunity to do something with them, I won’t miss this opportunity. Before we know it, they will grow up and say: “Dad, tell me the PIN code of your credit card. These four digits will be the best gift for us.” As long as they need something from me other than a PIN code, they need to use it."

"I like to travel with children. The only pressing issue is the correct placement - it is important that, on the one hand, it is possible to constantly see the children, and on the other hand, that the door closes tightly and does not let in a single sound."

Natalya Avtandilovna Kiknadze is a Russian woman of Georgian origin, best known as the wife of. The biography of Natalia Kiknadze, unfortunately, is not as detailed as the biography of Ivan, since the woman is not such a public person. However, some information about Natalya is known.
Natalya was born and raised in the Northern capital. Natalya's father is Avtandil Yuryevich, a very wealthy Georgian jeweler who carried out private orders for high-ranking officials of the Soviet Union. Natasha's mother, Tatyana Vasilievna, took care of the housework and raised three children. Kiknadze has two brothers, Yuri and David, who became doctors. By the way, Natalya Kiknadze is the niece of the famous Soviet commentator and football observer Vasily Kiknadze.
The family lived in a beautiful apartment in a prestigious area of St. Petersburg, and the children studied at the elite gymnasium at the Russian Museum. By the way, Natasha’s classmate was her future husband, as well as the future TV presenter of popular humorous television programs, Ivan Urgant. They were friends, played together in the school KVN team, performed on stage in student productions and at youth concerts.
Career
Because of the talents Natalya showed on the amateur theater stage, teachers predicted a successful acting career for the girl. In her senior year, Natalya so talentedly portrayed the stepmother in the production of “Cinderella” that she almost eclipsed the main character. However, due to her personal life, Natalya Kiknadze chose a different path for herself.
Natalya Kiknadze also had another opportunity for career growth, because the girl is the heiress of a famous jeweler and could become the successor to this luxurious business. But even here Natalya found herself out of work. Perhaps the girl simply had no inclination for jewelry making, or perhaps Natalya’s father considered it much more important to enlist the support of a partner through the marriage of children than to teach the heiress the tricks of his own work.
The woman was able to prove herself in business much later, when Natalya Kiknadze received the restaurant “The Garden” as a gift from her second husband. Natalya is promoting this restaurant, and also organizes promotions and social events there.
But even today, even though Natalya has taken over the restaurant, Kiknadze’s main job remains maintaining the family hearth. A woman maintains comfort in the house and raises children.
Natalya Kiknadze also often appears at cultural and social events, most often accompanied by her husband. These appearances of a married couple also attract the attention of journalists, since usually spouses prefer to hide the details of their family life.
Natalya also attracts the attention of journalists from fashion publications, who like to analyze in detail the new images of the socialite - often with negative assessments. Journalists and stylists do not know the exact height and weight of the woman, but critics agree that the clothes chosen by Kiknadze for going out do not flatter the woman’s figure.
Personal life
They say that Ivan Urgant proposed to Natalya at the prom, but received a clear refusal. And almost immediately after school, Kiknadze marries Georgian businessman Teimuraz Kutalia. Today, even Natalya herself cannot say what was more in this marriage - love or obedience to her father, who introduced his young daughter to the son of his business partner Vakhtang Kutalia. It is important that after a few years the young woman left her husband, not being afraid to be left without his financial support. After all, she already had two children in her arms - daughter Erica and son Niko.
A decade after the school prom, Natasha meets classmate Ivan Urgant on the streets of St. Petersburg. The man has already become famous, managed to marry and divorce Karina Avdeeva, and also live in a de facto marriage with a TV presenter. And that meeting turned out to be fateful: the young people realized that they had been looking for each other all these years.
For several years, Kiknadze and Ivan Urgant carefully hid their relationship from the press. Only after some time did the public and relatives learn about their marriage. Urgant's loved ones were shocked by this news. Ivan’s relatives were waiting for the TV presenter’s wedding, but everyone was sure that Gevorkyan would become the bride. At that time, the TV presenters had been dating for four years, and, as others saw, nothing overshadowed this relationship.
In mid-May 2008, Ivan Urgant’s wife gave him a daughter, Nina, who was named after the TV presenter’s beloved grandmother. And in the fall of 2015, little Valeria was born, named after her father’s mother, an actress. Natalya’s eldest daughter, Erica, also lived in the family for a long time, until she left to study at one of the British educational institutions. But Niko’s son was brought up in his father’s new family and lives in St. Petersburg. The young man became interested in tennis, and in 2014 even participated in the summer championship.
The children also share the mother’s position that the personal life of the family should not be advertised. Neither Erica nor Niko go to talk show studios and tell scandalous details from their parents’ personal lives. If Kiknadze’s children came to film the show, it was to the “Evening Urgant” program, hosted by her husband.
Moreover, even when sharing everyday worries with friends on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, young people try to write impersonally: just “mom” and “dad” instead of specific names and hashtags.
It is interesting that between the birth of their children, Kiknadze and Urgant managed to hold a wedding ceremony before God, getting married in St. Nicholas Cathedral in St. Petersburg. As a gift for her wedding anniversary, Natalya Avtandilovna Kiknadze received from her husband co-ownership of the restaurant “The Garden”, one of the “tricks” of which is the design of blooming gardens. Kiknadze owns this establishment in half with her husband’s friend and long-term partner -.
Since Natalya Kiknadze, like her star husband, tries to keep her personal life away from the press, all sorts of rumors always spread around the couple. Information has already appeared many times that Ivan Urgant’s family is on the verge of collapse.
The slightest tension between spouses becomes the reason for such gossip. For example, once rumors that Ivan and Natalya were getting a divorce began after the spouses appeared together at a party at The Garden restaurant, where, according to the paparazzi, they behaved feignedly and tensely.
Previously, the “answer” to gossip was the birth of his daughter Valeria, and recently on a page on a social network, the TV presenter stated that for him there is no one more dear to his wife and family as a whole. By the way, although Natalya Kiknadze is Urgant’s second wife, it was she who Ivan repeatedly called his only love and only wife.
Natalia Kiknadze now
In April 2017, rumors appeared that Natalya Kiknadze was pregnant again, for the fifth time. Kiknadze and her husband attended the premiere of the new film. The film was about a young provincial ballerina who came to the capital to conquer the famous theater, and the premiere of the film symbolically took place at the Bolshoi Theater itself.
The rumors were sparked by the woman's appearance. Natalya Kiknadze came to the event in a loose white blouse that hid her figure. However, the paparazzi were able to see a rounded belly, disguised by draperies. Officially, the woman did not comment on these rumors, so when publishing these photos, a number of publications noted that such a silhouette could be an optical illusion and the result of an incorrectly chosen angle of the photo.
In May 2017, Ivan Urgant came to the studio of the Pozner program, where he talked with the TV presenter about his family. This is an infrequent event, and Urgant’s fans explain such frankness by the long-standing friendship of the TV presenters.
During the conversation, Ivan emphasized that he considered Kiknadze’s children from his first marriage to be his children, and for this he even corrected his interlocutor when Posner said that Ivan only has two daughters. Erica's photographs often appear in the popular "
Ivan Urgant protects his wife Natalya Kiknadze and children from the attention of the press. There are stars who love to show off their personal lives. But you can’t dig up fried facts about Ivan Urgant’s family; his personal life is truly personal. Even in public, Ivan and his wife rarely appear together.
School love
Ivan and his wife, the daughter of a famous St. Petersburg jeweler, met during their school years.
In this video, Natalya and Ivan play in a school play:
In addition to studying, they played in KVN and school plays; it was Natalya who everyone predicted a wonderful acting career, which apparently did not attract her at all.
According to some evidence, there were many girls around Ivan during his school years, and he and Natalya were not interested in each other. According to others, in high school, Ivan was so in love with his future wife that he proposed to her for the first time at graduation, but she did not accept him.

The girl already had a fiancé, the son of her father’s business partner, and soon after receiving her certificate they got married.
Ivan also soon married, against the wishes of his family, but the marriage fell apart almost immediately.

After that, the presenter pursued a career, and then for several years lived in a civil marriage with MTV presenter Tatyana Gevorkyan, but then Tatyana and he broke up.
As Tatyana said later in an interview, Ivan needed a family, and she wanted to hang out with that easy-going and cheerful boy that the showman was when they met. Friends tried to reconcile them, but to no avail.
Meeting with future wife Natalya Kiknadze
And then, during a trip to St. Petersburg, he accidentally met Natalya. By that time, Natalya had already separated from her husband and was raising two children - son Niko and daughter Erica. Having met, the young people talked all evening. That's how their relationship began.
Ivan began to court Natalya, then she went to him in Moscow and Erica moved with her, and Niko chose to live with his father’s family.
The couple hid their relationship so successfully that even Ivan’s relatives were amazed to learn that he was not marrying Tatyana Gevorkyan, but Natalya. Some sources say that grandparents generally learned about their grandson’s marriage from newspapers. Since then, Urgant has continued to remain secretive.
In 2008, the couple had a daughter, Nina, and in 2015, another daughter, Valeria.

In 2015, the couple secretly got married in St. Nicholas Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Only the closest relatives were present at the ceremony. Ivan’s grandmother, actress Nina Urgant, said in an interview that it was a wonderful ceremony, and although she rarely leaves the house anymore, she could not miss such an event. And she added that it is happiness for her to look at her grandson’s friendly family.
The presenter was prompted by the sudden death of his mother from a short illness. He was crushed by grief, but Natalya supported him in everything.
Natalya devotes almost all her time to her family and children, and she also runs the restaurant “The Garden”, which was given to her by her husband.
Restaurant opening
But she doesn’t like to communicate with journalists or often attend social events.
Ivan had an excellent relationship with Natalya’s children from his first marriage. Except that he sees Niko less often, and he calls Erica his eldest daughter.
They can often be seen in photographs; the two of them can go to some event or film premiere. Now eighteen-year-old Erica is studying in London, is interested in art and fashion, and participates in modeling shoots.
Nina studies at school, and everyone also notes that in appearance she is almost a copy of Ivan.
By the way, she once took part in the “Evening Urgant” program.
But fans have not yet been able to see the face of little Valeria, named after the presenter’s mother.
Rumors of divorce
Of course, journalists cannot believe in such a love story, and since Ivan and Natalya stubbornly do not give reasons for gossip, they are being sucked out of thin air. For example, they are regularly divorced, stating that Natalya is tired of her husband’s popularity and employment.
Sometimes it seems to journalists that they were too restrained at the event - and now, information appears in all sources that a cat ran between Ivan and Natalya.
And although Ivan usually does not pay attention to this, once he nevertheless spoke out on his Twitter about this:
“Guys, here in the press there was information about discord in my family... Like, everything is bad with the Masyasek. So there you go! I'm informing you! The best thing in my life is my beloved wife and family.”
Last year there were also rumors that Natalya was pregnant again; it seemed to journalists that the woman had a visible belly in one of the photographs.
But for now the composition of the family remains the same.
In 2018, Ivan began sharing family photos more often on his Instagram. So, fans finally saw their grown-up daughter Valeria:
And in 2019, he shared a shot with Nina and Erica from a basketball game in Oakland.
Within two months the couple began to live together. The lovers spent a lot of time together. The couple was busy in television projects, they were invited to host parties and concerts, and in their free time they continued to travel.
Their civil marriage lasted more than three years. Ivan dreamed of marrying the woman he loved so that they could have a real family, but she refused to marry. As Tatyana herself later admitted, she was afraid of the “stamp in her passport.”
Oddly enough, in our relationship I took a masculine position: he really wanted a family, children, and I was afraid of the “stamp in my passport.” Then it seemed to me that marriage would kill romance and turn everything into prose. I felt very good with Vanya, and I was afraid to change anything.
The couple decided to get married after they got their own home.
At the same time, Gevorkyan is in real trouble at work. The woman is very tired, and the doctor prescribes her a sedative. After taking antidepressants, Ivan Urgant's common-law wife fell into a state of complete apathy. Family relationships deteriorated. Tatyana tried to provoke Ivan to jealousy by starting to accept gifts from a rich admirer.
Unexpectedly, Tatyana found out that her lover had met another woman in a restaurant, telling her that he was having lunch with his partner. Gevorkyan, without explaining anything, simply left home. Urgant, who did not understand anything, asked Tatyana to return, but she refused.
Ivan Urgant's second wife Natalya Kiknadze - love from school
Despite the fact that parting with Tatyana Gevorkyan was quite a severe shock for Ivan Urgant, he was not left alone for long.
Arriving to visit his relatives in St. Petersburg, Urgant quite by chance meets his school love, Natalya Kiknadze. In their senior year, Ivan and Natalya liked each other, but at the graduation party a disagreement arose between the teenagers, after which their paths diverged for many years.
It was with Natalya Kiknadze that Ivan Urgant spoke then in the restaurant, informing Tatyana about the meeting with his business partner.
A sudden meeting in St. Petersburg once again revived old feelings, and Ivan proposed to Natalya
For the first time he came to Vladimir Vladimirovich in his author’s program eight years ago - on May 18, 2009. Posner called that interview unsuccessful. In the midst of the current conversation, Ivan Urgant clarified whether everything was going well this time. Vladimir Vladimirovich answered in the affirmative.
Urgant rarely gives interviews, and even less often he talks about his personal life. But it’s no secret that Ivan Urgant and Vladimir Pozner are friends. Therefore, the conversation turned out to be very frank. This time the interview definitely worked.
True, there was one subtle moment when it came to the family of Ivan Urgant. First, he asked not to call his wife his wife. Secondly, when Vladimir Vladimirovich began to say that Ivan Urgant has two daughters, he corrected him: “Three.”

“You have two daughters. Nina is nine years old. And there is a very small one. How old is she? One and a half, yes, approximately?” - Posner began to ask his question. But Urgant interrupted him: “There is also a third - Erica, who will already be 17.” Vladimir Vladimirovich justified himself by saying that she was already big, so he did not mention her in the context of his question.
“What is this word “wife” for? After all, this is a monstrous word...” said Ivan Urgant when talking about Natalya Kiknadze. “Wife,” corrected Vladimir Vladimirovich. "Here!" - Urgant agreed. “Well, you never say that: “my wife,” Ivan Andreevich reproached Vladimir Vladimirovich.

Urgant told how he and his wife build their children’s relationship “with TV.” “My youngest daughter is one year and seven years old. She doesn't have a special relationship with TV. As for the eldest daughter Nina, she loves to watch and asks. But we didn’t turn on the TV or show her cartoons until she was two or three years old. We limited it. Now we have a certain value: for half an hour a day she “watches a cartoon,” as they call it. These are mostly good animated films that tell the story of good that triumphs over evil: that a mermaid is always a mermaid, not a fish, and a girl with long hair always finds herself a husband in the end,” shared Ivan Urgant.

Ivan Urgant follows the tradition of congratulating his daughter Nina on her birthday every year by publishing her photos on the microblog on Instagram. By the way, pictures of his eldest daughter Erica appear much more often on the TV presenter’s page. WITH She now lives independently in London, where she attends college. True, he often visits Moscow, for example, on shoots for fashion magazines. The fact is that the microblog on Instagram of Ivan Urgant’s 15-year-old daughter is very popular. Almost 30,000 subscribers follow Erica’s stylish photographs. In this regard, Russian Vogue did an interview with her.
15 year old Erica Kiknadze- daughter of Ivan Urgant’s wife from her first marriage with Vakhtang Kutalia. The girl’s brother remained to live with his father in Georgia after his parents’ divorce. Until recently, Erica lived with her mother's new family - Ivan Urgant and two half-sisters Nina and Valeria. The decision to move from Moscow to London was not easy for Erica.
“Moving from Moscow was very scary, leaving friends, family and what I had lived here throughout my life. This may sound stupid, but even the change in time scares me, and everything is different there: language, fashion, time zone, weather, people. But when I convinced myself to think positively, everything changed. Regent’s Park became my Gorky Park, the Multimedia art museum became the Royal Academy of Arts, and the Bolshoi Theater replaced the Royal Opera House,” Erica wrote in her microblog.
The love story of Ivan and Natalya is quite romantic. They studied together at the gymnasium at the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Urgant was in love with his classmate, but after graduation their paths diverged. Ivan married a student at the St. Petersburg Institute of Culture Karina Avdeeva, and Natalya married a businessman. Many years later, the classmates met again and could not contain their suddenly flared up feelings for each other. On May 15, 2008, Ivan and Natalya had their first common daughter, Nina. The girl was named after Urgant's grandmother, actress Nina Urgant. Ivan and Natalya’s second common daughter was born on September 21, 2015. The girl was named in memory of Urgant's mother, an actress. Valeria Kiseleva.
