Alena Khmelnitskaya: biography, personal life

It should be immediately noted that the bohemian environment surrounded the girl with early childhood, her parents’ social circle always consisted of celebrities from the cultural sphere. This remarkable biographical fact determined not only the choice of profession, but also contributed to the formation of a highly noble, intelligent character.

Born on January 12, 1971 in Moscow into a family of Bolshoi Theater ballet soloists. She was the only child in the family; the backstage area and the orchestra pit were the baby’s main place of stay.

Alena Khmelnitskaya in her youth

When Alena was already ten years old, and she consciously perceived the world, life presented her with the most vivid impression, a childish delight that she would remember for the rest of her life.

Her mother, who had changed her role by that time, participated in the choreography in the musical “Juno and Avos” and Alena with incredible pleasure was present at almost all rehearsals.

Maximum attention was paid to her daughter's education; Alena studied at a school with a French bias; theater, cinema and rhythmic gymnastics filled her life completely.

At the age of 12, Alena Khmelnitskaya starred in her first film, having successfully passed the casting of actors for A. Belinsky’s film “Carambolina-karamboletta”.

Youth

At the age of 15, I had to grow up sharply, my parents left their girl to finish her studies at school, and they themselves went to work in London.

The time of growing up passed without the participation of her parents; Alena began to have very adult novels and disappointments early on. Andrey Dellos, an artist and restaurateur, became her first love, which did not last long, having met another, he married her and they left for France.

In those days, youth and belonging to bohemian youth did not allow her to fall into depression; Alena went to live with her parents in the UK. New impressions, an opening world, calmed me down, a new acquaintance with Yegor Konchalovsky also helped, but the relationship did not work out.

The romance with Nikita Dzhigurda was also fleeting, and in the meantime it was necessary to think about further education and choice of profession. Everything about the profession had long been predetermined; all that remained was to choose a specific university. The choice turned out to be difficult, Alena auditioned at all three famous creative workshops - the Shchukin School, GITIS, and the Moscow Art Theater School. Studying in each of them opened up great opportunities, it was necessary to make a decision, and Alena Khmelnitskaya chose the Moscow Art Theater.

Active beginning

Alena Khmelnitskaya entered the profession so quickly and so organically that she immediately became popular among directors. Several factors had an impact, the external characteristics of the young actress, who was incredibly pretty, as well as her obvious talent and existing acting experience. Even before entering the university, Alena starred in three films in episodic roles.

After successful work in two performances “Juno and Avos” and “Funeral Prayer”, the student was already enrolled in advance in the troupe of the Lenkom Theater. Alena did not notice the difficulties of combining study and work, life was so interesting and promising.

In 1991, she had her first leading role in the film “Date House,” but the real star breakthrough in the profession was the role of Leoncia Solano in the film “Hearts of Three,” which became a cult film for the whole country.

The first steps in the profession were confident and very successful, they were marked by the following film works:

  • "The Tale of the Merchant's Daughter and the Mysterious Flower";
  • "Arbitrator";
  • "Hearts of Three";
  • "Murder at Sunshine Menor"
  • "Musical Forecast".

Family life

After the divorce, Alena Khmelnitskaya got a new husband quite quickly, even taking into account that the marriage was civil. But first things first…

Alena Khmelnitskaya has never had a shortage of fans, which is not surprising given such external data. However, the fateful meeting occurred by chance in the buffet of his native Lenkom. According to the actress herself, she immediately felt the reliability and responsibility emanating from Tigran Keosayan, which she so dreamed of seeing in her chosen one.

Both are young, talented with great professional ambitions and prospects; such a commonality quite naturally culminated in a wedding in 1993. And already in 1994, the beloved and desired daughter Sasha appeared.

The difficulties of the 90s were not felt at first, but with the appearance of a child and a change in the art world, when there was no time for him, the country was simply trying to survive, there was no work, I had to leave the stage.

Alena Khmelnitskaya decided to try herself in a new role and start a small business by opening her own boutique. It was difficult for the businesswoman, three years of attempts did not lead to prosperity, it became more and more difficult, but her beloved “Tiger” was nearby. According to Alena, this is exactly how her husband was recorded in his phone, even when he changed his status to “ex.”

The talented director has made three successful films in a row since 1997, became incredibly popular and saved the family situation.

Alena Khmelnitskaya returned to the theater again, having managed to star in two of these three films by Tigran, “The President and His Granddaughter” and “Silver Lily of the Valley,” which also became a cult film work. The role of Irma in “Silver Lily of the Valley” is recognized as one of the actress’s best roles; it has become a kind of symbol of Alena Khmelnitskaya’s return to the profession.

Successful return

Life has returned to normal again, active creative activity brought not only income, but also moral satisfaction. Offers for roles in films followed one after another; after Alena Khmelnitskaya returned, she starred in several popular films of that time:

Still from the film “Three Half-Graces”

  • "Directory of Death";
  • "The President and his granddaughter";
  • "Game of Love";
  • « Men's work»;
  • "Silver lily of the valley";
  • "March of Turetsky".

In addition, work continued on the stage of Lenkom, the only puzzling thing was that Alena was firmly assigned the role of a beautiful, self-confident bitch. Life is completely different, the actress dreamed of trying to play positive role, but the directors did not meet her.

Career rise

Both spouses continued to successfully implement themselves in the profession; since 2007, Tigran Keosayan also began to actively participate in work on television, as a producer and host of several television programs.

Alena Khmelnitskaya was torn between several projects, including in the serial film “Ondine”, playing Tatyana Panchenko. In addition, films with her participation were released:

  • "The most beautiful";
  • "Hare over the Abyss";
  • "Mirage";
  • "Three Half-Graces";
  • "Not renounce loving";
  • "Paid by death";
  • "Who if not me?";
  • “Half an hour before spring”;
  • "Fatal Inheritance";
  • "Three Happy Women";
  • "Second Youth"

In 2003, another popular film, “The Joys and Sorrows of the Little Lord,” was released; people came not only to the film itself, but specifically to Khmelnitskaya, the popularity of the actress was so high.

And in 2009, filming stopped; Alena, together with her husband Tigran Keosayan, hosted the incredibly popular television program “You and Me.”

Problems in personal life

Imperceptibly, disagreements and disputes began to increasingly fill their lives, as Alena Khmelnitskaya later admitted, it was difficult to communicate with Tigran, for all his reliability, he practically did not take her opinion into account. In addition, the marriage had already been quite long and inevitably experienced a crisis; life is so structured that even stars do not escape its negative laws.

In an effort to save the relationship, Alena and Tigran decided to become parents for the second time, especially since this was the actress’s long-standing dream. In 2010, Ksenia was born, but the family climate continued to deteriorate, aggravated by new difficulties.

Tigran Keosayan with his new wife

A blow for the actress was the rumors that Tigran had another woman, a relationship with whom he even stopped hiding, appearing with her at various events. This woman was Margarita Simonyan, also a talented and successful person with a strong character.

As a result, in 2012, the couple decided to separate, and they did it without causing a scandal throughout the country with mutual insults, as often happens. It’s hard to imagine what the Actress went through, who at that time also had Small child in her arms, but she bore it with great dignity.

Hard times

Having parted, the star couple continued to communicate now as Good friends, the fact of divorce became known to the general public only two years later. By that time, everyone had already realized that Margarita Simonyan and Tigran Keosayan did not just have a friendly relationship, as it seemed at first.

U new couple children of their own appeared, but for his first daughters Tigran Keosayan continued to be a loving and caring father all the time.

For the sake of the children, Alena established a relationship with new family and even became friends with the new wife of her ex-husband, who also turned out to be a very worthy and noble person.

Life goes on

Life gradually got better, the support of her ex-husband smoothed out everyday difficulties and allowed her to take up her profession again. The role of the stepmother in the film “Cinderella”, released in 2016, became an incredible success; Alena again appeared before fans of her talent in all her professional and feminine beauty.

There were rumors that only a beloved and loving woman could blossom like this, which were soon confirmed. The new chosen one was the young businessman Alexander Sinyushin, and since the spring of last year the couple has been living together.

According to Alena Khmelnitskaya, an initially cautious relationship with a man 12 years younger than her grew into serious feeling. The young people discovered a lot in common, mutual respect and, most importantly, new chosen one found an approach to his youngest daughter Ksyusha. And Sasha is already an independent adult, studying in America, she has her own path, she never dreamed of becoming an actress.

Most performers in film and television become hostages of one image, which directors exploit for many years, from picture to picture. But Alena Khmelnitskaya is a versatile actress. She can equally convincingly play a sophisticated lady, a romantic girl and an outright bitch.

Starring in a video for a legendary rock band, in a light comedy, in a serious melodrama - she can do anything. But Khmelnitskaya’s main trump card is that she is not only talented, but also desperately beautiful - and this is a rarity in our time.

Childhood, adolescence, youth (almost like Tolstoy)

Alena is a native of Moscow, a child from a bohemian family. Her date of birth is January 12, 1971. Her parents, Alexander Khmelnitsky and Valentina Savina, are ballet dancers, and for about two decades they danced not just anywhere, but at the Bolshoi Theater!

At the same time, my father taught at a choreographic school, and my mother, having studied at GITIS, subsequently retrained as a choreographer. It is not surprising that their beloved daughter was interested in high art from childhood and subsequently connected her life with the stage and filming. It is quite possible that Alyonushka could continue her parents’ dynasty and become a ballerina, because people from the world of ballet always looked into their house. For example, Maya Plisetskaya sometimes dropped in to have dinner and drink tea, Olga Lepeshinskaya paid visits - all this was in the order of things. And indeed, the Khmelnitsky family seriously discussed the issue of admitting their girl to a choreographic school. But everything turned out differently, and again, not without the influence of my parents.
When Lenkom began staging the musical Juno and Avos, Valentina Savina was invited to the project as an assistant director for choreography. Ten-year-old Alena relentlessly followed her mother around the theater, carefully watching the progress of the rehearsals.
The atmosphere behind the scenes captured and enchanted the young creature and became a real revelation. Having directly delved into the peculiarities of theatrical life, the girl was already so early age I began to dream about the stage, to dream of entering drama school. The parents did not try to dissuade their daughter from these intentions; they treated them with understanding. They simply explained that first you need to successfully graduate from an advanced school French, and only then decide on the choice of profession.

Indeed, Alena had plenty to choose from. IN school years she was studying rhythmic gymnastics(hence the grace and plasticity), table tennis (one can only envy the reaction and dexterity), attended courses for aspiring painters at the Surikov School (which helped to develop a delicate taste). And at the age of 12, the graceful Alenka received an invitation to shoot in the film “Carambolina-Caramboletta” directed by Alexander Belinsky and did a good job in her small debut role.
At the age of 15, Alena suddenly became independent. The fact is that her parents, authoritative teachers and choreographers, were invited to work in London. Yes, perestroika times have come in the country, travel abroad Soviet citizens was no longer regulated as strictly as it was 5-10 years before. Having weighed all the pros and cons, judging that their daughter was already old enough, the Khmelnitsky couple agreed to accept a tempting offer from abroad. So, for the first time in her life, the future star of the Russian screen tried for herself: what is it like to live without parental supervision?

Personal life of Alena Khmelnitskaya

It must be said that freedom is a harsh examiner, and not everyone passes this difficult test. Alena, how bright representative the capital’s “golden youth”, did not constrain themselves in any way and did not limit themselves to any limits. Moreover, no one prohibited anything. The girl was worried about only one thing: as long as her mom and dad didn’t find out about her adventures. As a consequence, at this age beautiful girl Numerous admirers and suitors began to appear.
The fiery brunette’s first serious romance was with artist and restaurateur Andrei Dellos. They say that at one point they even decided to live under the same roof and moved in together for a while.

Alena Khmelnitskaya and Andrey Dellos

If on the girl’s part these were sincere feelings, then the young man did not treat their relationship so responsibly. As soon as another spectacular lady met on his way, and French origin, Andreika broke up with Alena without regret and proposed new passion. The insidious tempter and the foreign homewrecker got married in Moscow and immediately moved to the bride’s homeland.
However, Khmelnitskaya did not worry about the break with her loved one for too long and was not very upset. While visiting her parents in the UK, Alena met Yegor Konchalovsky, who in those years studied at one of the prestigious educational institutions of Foggy Albion.

Everything happened more or less well, romantically, but love at a distance did not stand the test. Alena was given new bright love impressions by the then unknown but extremely ambitious actor Nikita Dzhigurda. Passion flared up instantly and faded just as quickly...
When they're over final exams at school, the girl immediately applied at three theater universities- to Shchukinskoye, GITIS and the Moscow Art Theater School. In the end, having received carte blanche to enter any of them, after consulting with her parents and friends, Alena chose the Moscow Art Theater.

Children and family

In some interviews, the actress admits that she always wanted to achieve two things in life: to enter the theater and definitely have children. She says that when her friend Katya Semenova first got married and had a child, the then student Khmelnitskaya nursed her little son with delight and enthusiasm, and a little later she agreed to become his godmother.
An affair with the southern handsome man Tigran Keosayan literally came out of nowhere. The year on the calendar was 1993. At first, someone introduced the young people at one of the parties. For a period of time they simply communicated, then they became friends, and a little later they shared shelter and a bed in common square meters. Then, having gathered their courage, they paid a visit to Alena’s parents in Europe.

Tigran so charmed his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, so elegantly asked for the hand of their daughter, that they did not even think of preventing this marriage. The couple really turned out amazing. Upon returning home, the lovers signed at the capital's registry office.


About a year later, their first child, daughter Sasha, was born, and in 1995 the couple realized how bad it had become in their country to make money on stage and in front of a movie camera. In the “dashing 90s” so few films were made, and they were all so similar that it weighed on both spouses morally with incredible force. In the theater they generally paid pennies.
Without thinking twice, Khmelnitskaya quit her job at Lenkom and began to learn the basics of entrepreneurship. So the artistic nature turned into a commercial one, Khmelnitskaya opened her own fashion boutique. It was completely not hers, but she had to “spin” for the well-being of the family. And here, fortunately, the talent and natural luck of the husband of the newly minted businesswoman came to the rescue.
In 1997, Tigran shot an undisputed hit at the time - the film “Poor Sasha” with Alexander Zbruev in the title role. The film's rental brought in good money. The public also received Keosayan’s next work well, “The President and His Granddaughter,” and the next work generally had the effect of a bomb exploding. For the late 90s, the film “Silver Lily of the Valley” looked like a masterpiece. In this film, by the way, the director’s wife played an incomparable role. Alena left the trade without regret and returned to the set. The role of the pop star - Irma - can be called, if not the best, then one of the best roles of Khmelnitskaya. In that work, Alena managed to convey the drama and ambiguity of a heroine who was generally negative in the plot.
In the hot summer of 2010, the Keosayan couple had a second girl, Ksyusha. It would seem that the second child should have strengthened the marriage. Alas, things did not go as most of us would have liked. A wonderful family and creative union broke up. Since 2011, the couple no longer appeared together at social events and film festivals. And subsequently Alena and the public learned that Tigran was having an affair. The charming director became interested in television journalist, editor-in-chief of the Russia Today television company Margarita Simonyan. In 2014, Khmelnitskaya and Keosayan filed for divorce.


Surprisingly, the former life partners did not throw mud at each other, as is usually the case. Moreover, the guys remained friends after the divorce, and Alena even maintains friendly relations with Margarita, and children from both families consider each other their closest relatives

Biography

The future star of Russian cinema was born on January 12, 1971 in Moscow. The spirit of creativity has always prevailed in her family, since both parents were members of the Bolshoi Theater ballet troupe. They were absent from home very often, as they constantly went on tour around different cities Europe, and the audience always greeted them with thunderous applause.

Despite the fact that Alena really loved what her parents did, she preferred to be interested in other professions. In addition, as a child, the girl was partial to sweets and her figure was not suitable for ballet classes. However, her artistic inclinations were visible to others since early years. One day, the parents took their daughter with them to the theater, where they had to choreograph for a group of artists. Then the girl had just turned 10 years old, but that same day she realized that she wanted to tie her future fate with the stage.

Actress in her youth

After a while, she realized that she could not combine work in the theater and a complex filming schedule and she had to make a serious choice.

Biography of Alena Khmelnitskaya

Alena was born in Moscow in 1971. Her parents were firmly connected with the world of art, so the girl began to study very early gymnastics. It’s hard to believe, but Alena was a fairly well-fed child as a child, so her parents introduced the girl to sports from an early age to make it easier for her to stay in shape in the future. She competed in the gymnastics section and also went to tennis. The young tennis player won several national competitions, but she did not want to connect her life with sports; rather, Khmelnitskaya did it out of inertia, and in order not to disappoint her parents, rather than out of great desire.

Someone will say that since Alena was born in the capital, she had more options for a bright future, but for a long time the girl had no idea where she would go after graduating from school.
