News of the day: Alexander Kerzhakov’s former lover Ekaterina Safronova, with whom the football player is with, will soon become a mother. Journalist and human rights activist Ekaterina Gordon spoke to Woman`s Day about the interesting situation of the young woman.
“I officially declare: Ekaterina Safronova is two months pregnant,” said Gordon, now known as the co-owner of the Saferoom law firm, which provides assistance to women in difficult situations. It is no secret that Safronova is among her clients.
At this stage, expectant mothers do not always share the good news even with relatives and close friends. But Ekaterina Safronova risked making this interesting situation public. She did this out of desperation, Gordon assures.
“For a year and a half, since the spring of 2014, she has not been able to hug or even see her little son Igor. Forward of Zenit and the Russian national team Alexander Kerzhakov, and he is the father of that child, does not allow Katya to see their common son. The last time she saw Igor was in April last year. This is very difficult,” says the human rights activist.
Let us recall that, who recognized her as a drug addict, and therefore potentially dangerous for her little son.

“For the second year now, Mr. Kerzhakov’s associates have been talking about Katya – that she is inadequate and incapable of relationships. And at some point we thought: what if we tell you that Katya has a loved one, that they are planning to start a family and are expecting a child, will this somehow affect the other side of the conflict? Maybe they'll stop talking about her drug addiction. Now is the golden time for reconciliation and adequate communication between parents, Kerzhakov has found a loved one, Katya has also met her man,” Gordon continues. “It’s time to leave all the grievances behind and not create obstacles for mom to meet little Igor.”
How Alexander Kerzhakov reacted to the news is still unknown: in a conversation with Woman`s Day, he did not want to comment on this situation, but he told what exactly. It seems that the football player has iron endurance.
And even earlier, Kerzhakov assured everyone that. But one fact certainly pleases Kerzhakov: no one claims that Katya’s current child is his.
September 5, 2014, 11:40Three weeks ago, Ekaterina SAFRONOVA hoped that the phone would ring and she would hear the voice of Zenit and Russian national team star Alexander KERZHAKOV, the father of her one-and-a-half-year-old son Igor. But instead of the desired words of forgiveness, the football player’s lawyers filed a lawsuit demanding “to limit the mother’s rights to the child, since she is dependent on psychotropic drugs” (details). Katya decided to openly talk about life with Kerzhakov.
Yes, I signed documents - agreement that the child will live with his father,” admitted Ekaterina Safronova. - My former lawyer, who, as I now understand, is on friendly terms with Kerzhakov, deceived: “Now you better agree for your son to live with his dad. You’re not in the best situation - you were in two psychiatric clinics, no place to live, zero income.” Could I have thought that in just a couple of months my loved one would file a lawsuit to limit my maternal rights?! And in six months, if I don’t “correct”, I may be deprived of my child.
I wanted a son
I sincerely loved Sasha. Probably what happened is retribution for my sin. When we met, I was married to hockey player Kirill Safronov. We raised our daughter Sonya. But Kirill signed an agreement with a club from Nizhnekamsk, and I remained in St. Petersburg: business and a children's clinic did not allow me to move. During this period, Kerzhakov appeared. I needed support, male attention... Kirill called every day, and I felt uncomfortable. She confessed honestly and filed for divorce. We remained on good terms. I didn’t file for alimony and didn’t sue for real estate. Kerzhakov, for his part, assured: “I’m a man, I’ll do everything.”
While Katya plunged headlong into the surging feelings, Kerzhakov was divorcing his wife Maria, with whom they had a common daughter, Dasha.
- They signed an agreement with Masha, according to which she receives 300 thousand rubles a month, 150 of which she puts into the child’s account. In front of me, Kerzhakov said that he wanted to plant drugs in Masha’s car in order to deprive her of her child. I should have thought about it even then. Later I found out that Maria began to demand more money from Kerzhakov. Having experienced for myself what kind of person he is, I understand why Masha did not apply for the required alimony. At the same time, Alexander insisted that I sell my clothing store in St. Petersburg and invest money in the construction of his house near St. Petersburg.
After two years of marriage, we decided to have a child. Having learned that I was expecting a son, Sasha personally supervised the pregnancy process. He even spent the night with me for a couple of days in the clinic where I gave birth. He was also present during a caesarean section.
Alexander KERZHAKOV planned a wedding with Ekaterina SAFRONOVA a year ago...
We had a wedding date set on December 7, 2013, but it didn’t take place. It was then that this story began with the Voronezh co-owner of a construction business, Mikhail Surin, to whom Sasha approached with a proposal: to lend 330 million rubles for the construction of an oil refinery. I didn’t immediately understand that Kerzhakov wanted to hide the money from Masha so that in the event of a divorce she wouldn’t get it. He told me: “We need someone to check the information about the plant.” I had a friend - Alexander Savchenko. His St. Petersburg LLC Profit provides business support services. Savchenko introduced himself to me as an FSB employee. When my lawyer Evgenia Semchukova made a request, we learned that Savchenko was prosecuted for kidnapping. But he gained my trust so much that I agreed to make him his son’s godfather. However, after a couple of months, Savchenko insisted to Kerzhakov that I was an experienced drug addict. Then the scammer began to claim that I was playing on Surin’s side. Savchenko more than once suggested that I give false testimony: supposedly I was in the bank and saw that Surin was communicating with the bank manager Vladimir Bagaev, who “fraudulently” helped transfer money from Kerzhakov’s account.
We made a vegetable
After the birth of his son, Sasha changed. I was forbidden to communicate with my friends or invite guests. All text messages were checked. He became aggressive, repeating: “You destroyed everything! Drug addict, creature! She put her son’s life in danger.” Kerzhakov did everything Savchenko said.
Six months after giving birth, he suggested that I go to the hospital to get treatment for my asthma. But a couple of days later I ended up in the mental health department. I was prescribed strong drugs. The diagnosis read: “Physical attraction to psychotropic substances.” They made me into a vegetable. You cannot escape from the establishment. When Sasha periodically visited the hospital, the doctors talked to him separately. I found myself a weak-willed slave in someone else's game. Kerzhakov answered all questions: “When the doctors deem it necessary, you will go home. If you run away, you won’t see your son.”
Two months later my grandmother took me. Granny, a doctor, asked the doctor a simple question: “On what basis are you holding a person?” Arriving at the St. Petersburg mansion in which Sasha invested 60 million rubles, I discovered a barrier through which security did not let me in.
Donated my hair
When I realized what a threat Savchenko and Kerzhakov posed, I tried to hide. I rented a hotel room. Kerzhakov found me. He began to press: “Let’s stay in another hospital for two months. There are psychologists there, no drugs. After the course of treatment you will find yourself at home.” I hoped that things could change. I'll prove to Sasha that I'm not a drug addict. She even submitted her hair for analysis, and when no drugs were found there, Savchenko lied: “She dyed her hair.”
All this time we continued to sleep together in a rented apartment. Sasha, of course, changed: after sex he got up and left. No words of love. The psychologist assigned by Savchenko constantly called Kerzhakov: “Sasha, you have to leave, have you left her?”
After two months of treatment, my things ended up in a rented apartment. I asked: “What’s going on, Sasha?” He explained: “You should learn to live in society.” During all this time, Kerzhakov only took me to see my son twice for two hours. I understood: I needed to pick up Igor and run wherever I could. A month later, Kerzhakov said: “You must leave your rented apartment!”
Left on the street, I turned to Kirill Safronov for help.
Sasha blocked my bank cards. Today I live off my first husband, because I couldn’t get a job in St. Petersburg. Employers, as soon as they realized that I was Kerzhakov’s roommate, turned away. Sasha still hasn’t given me my things: all the jewelry given by her ex-husband remains in the apartment. I came to Kerzhakov with a large “dowry” and left with nothing. I immediately remembered the words he said: “If a woman is with me, I’ll give her everything, if not, I’ll leave her in her underpants!” And so it happened.
Kerzhakov does not answer the phone and does not allow me to see my son. I wrote to the guardianship authorities, where the answer came: “Kerzhakov does not interfere with communication between mother and son.” Igorek is getting used to me - I didn’t even see his first steps, didn’t hear the word “mother”. They threaten me, I have to hide: no one knows where I live.
Colleagues and friends of the Russian national team forward remain deathly silent.
Catherine’s friends are also silent. And those rare revelations that lawyers and acquaintances of the once loving couple are willing to make raise doubts. The bright love story of Kerzhakov and Safronova really doesn’t fit in with the events that are unfolding now.
On the page of Ekaterina Safronova and Alexander Kerzhakov there are dozens of joint photographs. The cards show happy, beautiful, carefree young people. At a party, at a picnic, at home.
On May 21, 2013, Kerzhakov left a note under Ekaterina’s photo: “I am very happy next to her. Love her". Friends commented: “Take care of each other.”
On January 22 of this year, a photograph of Ekaterina with her newborn child was posted on the footballer’s page. Under it is the signature: “My favorites.”
And again the comments: “Sanya, you are a beautiful couple! Finally they showed the child.” "Future football player."
On the same day, Ekaterina posted a photo of a ring studded with diamonds: “Hurray! Sasha proposed to me."
Someone below wrote:
“Ripe?”
“Yes, we have a son,” answered Kerzhakov.
"Congratulations". “Looking at you and Katya, my soul rejoices. So, everything will go uphill.” "Take care of each other. I hope this year will bring you only good news and desired events.”
“I really hope so,” the footballer thanked everyone.
A little later, Alexander posted his son’s card. And the entry: “My beloved son. Now we will live together."
On August 1, 2014, a photograph of a luxurious girl appeared on Kerzhakov’s page. Below it is the inscription: “My beloved girl.”
The answer did not take long to arrive: “Sasha, I love you very much. You are my life, my love, my air that I breathe.”
At the same time, Catherine had only one entry: “Everything will definitely be fine with me. The world is not without good people. Thanks to everyone who is with me."
"Fairytale Relationships"
Friends of Alexander Kerzhakov seemed to have taken water into their mouths. To all our requests for clarification of the current situation, the terse answers were: “No comment.”
There were also a couple of strange messages from Catherine’s friends: “We beg you, don’t write about this... It’s not so simple there...”.
Only one friend of Safronova’s, Elena Loginova, agreed to communicate.
— Katya and I have been friends since 2011. From the first second I formed an opinion about her that has not changed to this day. She is a cheerful, positive, incredibly kind and sensitive person. I even want to call her not Katya, but Katenka. This girl has a rare combination of external beauty and a rich soul. She always kept the house clean and comfortable, not a speck of dust or speck to be seen. She was also a first-class mother. She did everything for her daughter Sonya from her first marriage. I have never seen such a caring mother. It happened, no matter how I called Katya, she was always busy - she was constantly cooking something, cleaning the house, taking the child to attractions, to the theaters, for walks, on visits, constantly taking care of Sonechka. And you can see from the baby - the girl is very well-groomed, smart, she adored her mother.
— Do you remember how the relationship between Ekaterina and Kerzhakov began?
“It’s very strange for me now to read that Katya is so bad: she took Kerzhakov away from the family, abandoned her husband, and put money as a priority. Even before meeting Sasha, Katya was something of herself: she had her own business, she was a former athlete, educated, and she was received with a bang in any company. She was interesting, fun, she had a great sense of humor, and there was always something to talk about. Many turned to her for help - they never refused.
— Did Kerzhakov look after Katya for a long time?
“It seemed to me that it was love at first sight.” Katya, in turn, always gave him freedom of choice and never put pressure on him. Before this New Year, they bought a country house in an elite village in the north of St. Petersburg. So Katya thought through the design of the house herself, did her own renovations, went shopping, and chose furniture. She even stopped communicating with her friends and kept running around hardware stores.
- So, just six months ago love reigned?
- What love! The way Katya treated Sasha, no one had ever treated him. It was a fabulous relationship. Katya was always waiting for him from training and often came to pick him up. I met Sasha at home with lunch and dinner. People who are well acquainted with Kerzhakov noticed dramatic changes in him after he began dating Katya: he began to dress stylishly, was always well-groomed, Katya watched his appearance. I'd say she did it. She cared about him very much. If he was sick, Katya always sat next to him, ran for medicine, stood at the stove, and talked with the doctors.
— They say that Catherine devoted a lot of time to parties?
- That's funny. It was possible to meet her only on those days when Sasha went to the games. She devoted herself entirely to her family.
— How did your ex-husband and Katya break up?
— After her divorce from Kirill, she was able to maintain an excellent relationship with him, and this says a lot.
— Did Catherine’s eldest daughter live with her?
- Yes, they all lived together. And this is understandable: if a man really loves a woman, then he will love her child in exactly the same way. They spent all weekends and holidays together. I’m sorry that everything went wrong for the guys at one point.
— Maybe this whole scandal is for the sake of PR?
- Now many people say and write that Katya wants popularity, to shine, but this is nonsense! I remember when Katya was pregnant, my photographer friend asked me to talk to Katya in order to photograph her and place her in magazines. I called and voiced this proposal, to which Katya unequivocally answered “no”. For her, this is very personal, and she did not want to flaunt, make family values public and accessible to everyone. Everything that happened came as a complete surprise to me. I still can't believe it. Something is not right here... Maybe at that moment when the relationship went wrong, they were deliberately silent, did not want to wash dirty linen in public?
And here is what Kerzhakov’s acquaintances said, who wished not to give their names in the press.
— Understand, the wives of football players are a certain category of people. These are spoiled ladies who are lucky enough to come into contact with a star. There are always a lot of girls around football players - most of them know each other. They lead a bohemian lifestyle, which often includes drugs. Katya seemed to be addicted to drugs. Sashka is against such things. He tried to get her out, she was treated in a drug treatment clinic. We cannot say this 100 percent, but these are the rumors circulating in the party. Nobody goes into details. And Kerzhakov himself avoids this topic...
“I don’t need either his alimony or Kerzhakov himself”
This week a press conference was held in Moscow by Safronova and her lawyers.
Some moments from that event were described in the press. Something went on the TV news. But much remains behind the scenes.
It seemed to me that a conversation with journalists would dot the i's in this story. As a result, the situation turned out to be even more dire.
I didn’t immediately realize that in front of me was the same Ekaterina Safronova whom I had seen in photographs on the social network.
The short, thin girl - completely lacking makeup, wearing jeans and a vest - did not give the impression of a lady who could break the heart of a famous football player.
Noticing the crowd of journalists, Catherine shuddered and lowered her head.
Later she was asked questions. There weren't many of them. Those gathered understood: Katya wouldn’t tell much. The already quiet voice was constantly trembling...
“This story is very complex, it has two components,” the lawyer began. “The first is the mother, who was deprived and completely isolated from the child. The second is the big money that exists in business. I will try to tell you how these two components are intertwined.
Here is what they wrote in the press: “Several years ago, Alexander Kerzhakov entered into an agreement with Voronezh businessman Mikhail Surin for 105 million rubles on participation in the construction of an oil refinery in the Voronezh region. When the football player once again checked his bank card, he found out that the account was empty. A total of 329 million was withdrawn from him. Construction of the plant was stopped in the meantime.
Later, Kerzhakov’s lawyer explained the scheme by which money was diverted from the footballer’s accounts. Kerzhakov was a VIP client of one bank. He called the manager by phone and gave a command to transfer a certain amount. These transactions were not recorded on paper in any way. Bank manager Vladimir Bagaev began transferring money from St. Petersburg to Voronezh without informing the football player. Some of the documents on the transfer of money were signed not by Kerzhakov, but by some other person. The lawyer claims that about 70 million rubles were stolen this way: the fact of signature forgery was established by expert means as part of the investigation in a criminal case.”
However, from lawyer Ekaterina Safronova we heard a different version of the above events. In any case, when asked how this story is connected with Catherine, he replied:
“There are rumors that this was intended to take money away from the marital property.
— Why did Katya come to Moscow? What is she trying to achieve?
— I haven’t known Ekaterina for long. I was amazed when she said that she needed absolutely nothing from Kerzhakov, she did not need his property, nor his debts, nor his alimony, nor his goals, nor himself. She only needs a child.
— But could Safronova count on alimony if the child stayed with her?
— I don’t know what salary Kerzhakov receives, but I think it’s many, many millions of dollars. And of course, I don’t want to pay these “lots and lots” of child support for an unfortunate child. It’s easier to take your son for yourself, dump him on a nanny and declare your ex crazy and a drug addict.
“Katya escaped from the hospital. She has neither things nor a home."
A tough question followed from the audience.
- Ekaterina, it’s true that in recent days, when you were still in St. Petersburg, you were seen at the apartment where the drug den is located. Did you spend time with your friend, a certain Ivanov, who that day had a heart attack from a heroin overdose?
“This is not true,” the girl said barely audibly.
There were no further explanations.
— Is it true that you were offered to date your child, but you yourself didn’t want to?
- It is not true…
— Tell me, how did you end up in a psychiatric clinic?
“They told me: if I don’t pass a certain examination, I won’t see the child.” The first time I was admitted to the clinic under the pretext of undergoing another treatment for asthma. I have been asthmatic since childhood. Then I was transferred from one department to another, where they locked me in a room. For 2.5 months I was completely isolated from the outside world. I was given many diagnoses, including schizophrenia.
— Has the diagnosis been removed now?
- I don't know.
- How do you not know?
Catherine shrugged.
A lawyer came to her rescue.
— How can a person who practically escaped from the hospital know about the removal of diagnoses? She has neither things nor a home here. Now we are sending certain requests to all the hospitals in St. Petersburg where Ekaterina was, we will arrange examinations, perhaps the doctors will be held accountable for the diagnoses they made. We are just beginning to unravel this whole situation.
Suddenly, a tall brunette appeared in the center of the hall. She introduced herself as Alexander Kerzhakov’s press secretary, Elena Bolotova.
“I have in my hands a court decision dated May 26 that Kerzhakov’s child will live with his father,” Bolotova distributed a photocopy of this document to journalists. — There were no appeals against this decision from Catherine. And there could be no persecution or threats from Kerzhakov. All that happens here is a cheap show. Katenka, tell everyone how you were forbidden to see your child? This is not true.
The lady was interrupted by Catherine’s lawyer, Dobrovinsky.
“Ekaterina knows something about Kerzhakov that cannot be disclosed. Not yet.
— Ekaterina has a huge correspondence on her phone with Mr. Kerzhakov’s lawyers. The girl repeatedly asks to see her son, but she is constantly fed “breakfast”, moreover, they say, stop contacting Kerzhakov, you are making him nervous.
— Why isn’t Katya supported by the Zenit players and their wives, with whom she was friends?
“Intimidated,” Dobrovinsky was not at all embarrassed.
- That's funny!
- It's a question of money, nothing else.
— Ekaterina, are you registered with a narcologist? - question from the audience.
- I am not registered on any account.
- When did you see your son?
- Three months ago.
— How did you feel about the court’s decision that your son would live with his father?
“Then I didn’t mean that he would want to deprive me of parental rights...
And again Safronova’s lawyer took the floor.
— That trial took place when Katya was kept in psychiatric clinics. Her case was led by a lawyer who convinced her client that it was better for her to admit the claim to determine the child’s place of residence with Alexander. And he promised that in two months the decision would be reviewed. She did not sign any form of abandonment of the child...
“The football player was blinded by love”
Alexander Kerzhakov’s defense side was not surprised by the lawyer’s speech.
On this score they have their own opinion and version of what is happening.
“Alexander Dobrovinsky is a great inventor,” the football player’s lawyer Igor Reshetnikov began the conversation. - But there are many inventors in the Kerzhakov case. The first place is taken by Voronezh entrepreneur Mikhail Surin. So, what is happening now is an undisguised blackmail of Kerzhakov: either he somehow negotiates with Katya about raising a child in exchange for money, or Katya gives testimony that was invented for her and which will affect the investigation of our criminal case. We have previously assumed that Catherine could be used as a false witness for the defense on the other side. But the fact that Katya might have known or heard something about the money invested by Kerzhakov - this information in no way corresponds to reality.
Now what we feared is happening. Some cunning guys found Catherine, took advantage of her not entirely adequate condition and convinced her to give certain testimony. Perhaps in return she was promised that by doing so she would be able to further improve her financial situation, since Kerzhakov would not be able to fight her and would agree to pay alimony.
- Does she demand alimony? It seemed like Katya said that she didn’t need anything else from Kerzhakov except the child?
“It’s quite obvious that for her a child is just a guarantee of a secure life for the next 17 years.”
— And yet Ekaterina used drugs?
— Kerzhakov has a state-of-the-art video surveillance system at home. Now I asked the specialists to retrieve the data from the data storage memory and make a small storyboard of what was happening in the house in the absence of my husband. It seems to me that this will leave no doubt about whether Katya took drugs or not. Alexander still opposes the publication of this data. Be that as it may, she is the mother of his child. But if it comes to serious proceedings, we will stop at nothing.
— The reason for Kerzhakov’s separation from Safronova is drugs?
- Only drugs. They had a strong love. Alexander left his wife, she ran away from her husband, hockey player Kirill Safronov. Strong feelings flared up in them. At least I can vouch for Kerzhakov in this regard.
- Yes. Frankly speaking, a person in love is stupid and blind. Alexander did not see simple things. He completely ignored Catherine's past life, which was quite stormy. There were cases when he returned to the city after a game and found his partner in a strange state, but did not react to it. Perhaps he missed the moment. At first he hid it from everyone. None of us knew about Katya's passions. Gradually, Sasha began to open up to us, little by little in the form of complaints: what should we do about this? And then it became clear that nothing could be done about it. And then the thought of breaking up with Catherine arose. This thought was extremely difficult for him, because he wanted to cure her of addiction. But the treatment did not bring results. She repeatedly went to clinics, but was not treated and interrupted the course of treatment. She left the hospital in the same condition in which she was delivered there. By the time Alexander decided to break up with Katya, they already had a child. Kerzhakov made every effort to keep his son for himself. Although these efforts were microscopic, Katya did not object to the fact that the child would remain with Sasha, provided that Kerzhakov would somehow provide for her future life. And this led to her beginning a frantic search for opportunities to put pressure on Kerzhakov. To begin with, she found a simple lawyer. But when I realized that he would be of no use, Dobrovinsky appeared.
- How did he appear?
“I don’t know, but I don’t rule out that their meeting was not without the participation of our procedural opponents in Voronezh.”
— How did Ekaterina give birth to a child, if, according to you, she had been on drugs for quite a long time?
— If you came to St. Petersburg, visited the maternity hospital on Furshtatskaya and asked the obstetricians who delivered Katya how everything happened, you would be shocked.
-You won't tell?
“I know how and what happened, but I don’t have documentary evidence of it.” Although this is an open secret for everyone. Ask a couple of questions to the doctors - and everything will fall into place.
- Katya has a second child. Who is he with now?
“As far as I understand, her eldest daughter is with someone.”
— It’s strange, but her friends speak of Katya as an exemplary wife and a good mother?
— Because Kerzhakov never washed dirty linen in public. I experienced this whole tragedy within myself. I have been communicating with Alexander for a long time and trying to understand why and why he found this Katya. From a logical point of view, this is impossible to understand. He was just overwhelmed by emotions. Now that all this has passed, we begin to analyze the situation - and an interesting picture emerges. When Kerzhakov started dating Katya, she got into his ears that supposedly her ex-husband, hockey player Konstantin Safronov, and his friends would not leave Alexander alone for stealing his wife. Accordingly, Alexander began to fear. And at that moment, out of nowhere, Voronezh comrades appeared - that same Surin and company. I cannot say that the story with money is directly related to the appearance of Katya, but some relationship can be traced. Understand, Kerzhakov is a smart guy, I’ve known him for a long time. And his action related to the transfer of money to Voronezh does not fit into any framework. After all, he was routinely transferring 50 million, 60 million, again 50 million, then 20 million. It was as if he was under hypnosis. It wasn't him. I think that when we figure out whether there is a relationship between Katya’s appearance in the life of a football player and Voronezh entrepreneurs, then everything will fall into place. And this will be a separate story.
— Perhaps Katerina will turn out to be a kind of femme fatale?
- Exactly. Look how skillfully she turned the head of first a hockey player, then a football player.
Returning to that press conference, we cannot help but draw attention to this.
Catherine did not give the impression of a sociable, open, self-sufficient girl as her friends imagined her to be. She did not answer many questions and glanced at the experienced lawyer.
To my request to communicate with Safronova personally, her lawyer responded with a harsh refusal: “You can communicate with me, but not with Katya.”
None of the football players’ wives, who had previously been friends with Ekaterina and Alexander, wanted to talk about this topic.
Perhaps time will put everything in its place. So far, only two people know what happened. Catherine herself and Alexander.
Both refuse to comment...
Six months ago, Ekaterina Safronova became a mother for the third time. A joyful event happened in the life of Alexander Kerzhakov’s former common-law wife on March 24, in the midst of her struggle with the football player for the right to raise their little son Igor. The newborn was born in one of the clinics in St. Petersburg, but to this day Safronova does not want to advertise the name of the baby’s father.
Life still managed to find out who 29-year-old Safronova was in a relationship with immediately after her high-profile breakup with the Russian bomber. Little Stefania calls St. Petersburg law enforcement officer Alexander Semelyuk dad. By the way, the man is distinguished from the football player Kerzhakov and her first husband, the hockey player Safronov, not only by his type of activity, but also by his relationship with his mother of many children. According to Catherine’s close circle, Alexander is the only one with whom, of the three fathers of her children, she managed to maintain a warm relationship after breaking up.
In addition to her own father, there is another man in the life of six-month-old Stesha. The other day Safronova and her youngest daughter. Judging by the girl’s social networks, the young man does not skimp on expensive gifts, spending a lot of money on his beloved. A man working in the auto business literally showers his beloved with chic bouquets of flowers and branded bags. In her microblog, Safronova also repeatedly boasted about trips to the sea and a brand new snow-white Mercedes.
It is worth noting that with the advent of a new boyfriend, Safronova’s name began to appear less in scandalous chronicles, and the struggle for her three-year-old son seems to have completely disappeared. Let us remember that for several years Catherine tried to win little Igor from Kerzhakov, who is raising him with his new wife Milana, the daughter of a St. Petersburg senator. The athlete insisted that Safronova was not capable of taking responsibility for the boy because of her addiction to drugs. This was precisely the reason why the football player restricted his former common-law wife’s parental rights through the court.
Little Igor, however, does not notice the absence of his own mother. The father's wife, Milana, spends all her free time with the child. While the baby’s father is training at the training camp, Igor is relaxing with the family of the 22-year-old daughter of a St. Petersburg politician, Vadim Tyulpanov.
Ekaterina’s eldest daughter, nine-year-old Sonya, lives with her father, hockey player Kirill Safronov and his wife Anastasia. The girl, however, sometimes stays at the country house of her mother’s new lover, where Safronova recently moved things from a modest five-story building.
Kerzhakov’s ex-wife Ekaterina Safronova was detained with “white powder”, video
In the photo, Ekaterina Safronova some time after her arrest during a conversation with journalists
On New Year's Eve, the former common-law wife of football player Alexander Kerzhakov, Ekaterina Safronova, was detained by law enforcement agencies on suspicion of illegal possession of weapons. Three banknotes with “white powder” were found on her, reports the Life portal. According to other sources, she was detained at the time of purchasing the substance and Ekaterina confirmed that it was a narcotic drug for personal use, the video is presented below. An appropriate examination will be carried out to determine the composition of this powder. Now Ekaterina Safronova denies all of the above accusations.
Alexander Kerzhakov, formerly a Zenit football player, and Ekaterina Safironova fought long legal battles for custody of their son Igor. The marriage of Kerzhakov and Safronova was not officially registered. As a result, the court limited Safronova’s parental rights due to the fact that she suffers from drug addiction, which is confirmed by official medical documents. The child lives with Kerzhakov and his wife Milana Tyulpanova (Kerzhakova).
For Alexander Kerzhakov, this news about Ekaterina Safronova did not come as a surprise. The athlete hopes that the public will stop associating his name with his former common-law wife. Catherine practically does not participate in the life of her young son. She has an eldest daughter, Sonya, from Kirill Safronov, and a younger daughter, Stefania, who was born after the break with Kerzhakov. Ekaterina does not reveal the identity of the father of her youngest daughter, but the girl bears the last name Safronov. The eldest daughter mainly lives with her father.
