Four wives of Sergei Shnurov: the musician himself has always abandoned women. Matilda Shvurova stopped communicating with her relatives, having won a position in society Position of Elena Mozgova
- approves former lover Matilda, fashion photographer Dmitry Mikheev
The other day, an old dream of a young provincial woman, Lena MOZGOVA, came true. She became the legal wife of Sergei Shnurov. The idea to ring someone famous musician appeared at Matilda (as her ex-lover MIKHEEV called the girl), as soon as she got to Moscow. About Lenochka's thorny path to happiness, when she wandered from one star bed to another, at one time Express Newspaper was the first to tell (No. 25, 2009). Now we have new details.
- Cord marries only those women who are ready to give birth to a child for him, - they say, surrounded by the leader of the Ruble group.
In fact, the two previous spouses of the musician gave him a baby. First - Maria Ismagilova- gave birth to a daughter, Serafima, the second - the director of the Pep-si group Svetlana Kostitsyna- the son of Apollo-Paul. And the actress Oksana Akinshina, although she lived with the musician-scandalist for several years under the same roof, she did not want to get pregnant from Sergei, so, they say, she was not honored to go to the registry office with him.
In the St. Petersburg rock party they whisper that Shnur's current chosen one is Elena Mozgovaya it could well have recently “flyed in”, so the noble Seryoga decided to register the relationship.

Butterfly wings
The words of Shnurov's colleagues were confirmed and former lover Elena - famous Moscow photographer Dmitry Mikheev.
When I lived with her, she buzzed all her ears that she wanted a baby, ”recalls Dima. - I dreamed of giving birth to a boy. She even came up with a name - Savely. But then I was not going to have children and was protected.
According to Mikheev, it was on him that Matilda tested her method of fooling men:She acted like a Japanese. Once I lived with a real Japanese girl, so I know what I'm talking about. As soon as you take out a cigarette, she immediately runs up and lights it for you herself. Or you go into the room, and they immediately substitute a chair for you. You quickly get used to it and can no longer live without it. Shortly before our break, Matilda kept repeating: “After you, I can take any man for myself. I know what you need! She even offered to demonstrate her skills on my friend Volodya Polienko who wrote hits for the t.A.T.u. group, but I was against it.
Another advantage of Matilda was her willingness to go to any experiments in sex.
She did not refuse either sadomaso or group games, Dmitry shares. - And she has no equal in oral sex! I will never forget how she made me "butterfly wings".
Pond owner
Despite her openness, there was a sore subject for Mozgova - her family, who remained in a village near Voronezh.
Matilda did not like to talk about her mother, Mikheev recalls. - Only once I broke down when I lit incense sticks at home. She asked me not to do it again. She began to cry and scream that her sectarian mother from childhood forced her to read mantras, lighting incense.
Victoria Ulchonok, a childhood friend of our heroine, admitted that she also felt sorry for Lena when she got it from her parent.
They had portraits of Krishna hanging in their kitchen,” Vika said. - The brain was even a little shy about it. But she was never beaten. Could go against the elders. For example, at the age of 13 she got a tattoo on her stomach.
Early began to go to restaurants and nightlife.
In the Voronezh club "One Hundred Streams" Elena met the soloist of the group "7B" Ivan Demyan, who then lived in the capital of the Chernozem region, after leaving prison. Demyan advised the girl to go to Moscow, where there are more opportunities. A few months later, when Ivan himself had already moved to the Mother See, Matilda rolled up to him. But the married musician hurried to get rid of her and introduced her to his friend Mikheev.
One night we were driving with Lena in a taxi, - says Dmitry. - We were stopped by militia which began to check documents. Matilda did not have them, and she was taken to the department. I rushed home for her passport and only then read that she was registered in some village near Voronezh. She used to lie to me about living in the city. Taking her away from the cops, I asked about the family. It turned out that the father divorced his mother a long time ago, lives in the town of Pavlovsk, where he bought a pond and began to breed fish. Matilda then told me: “If dad dies, I will get so much money! In addition, I will be the owner of the ponds.
drank ayahuasca
I lived with Matilda for almost three years, - continues Mikheev. - Kicked her out several times when she became unbearable. Well, tell me, who would like to constantly listen to requests that I introduce her to the right people and progressed through life. "Achieve everything yourself!" I advised.
Apparently, she listened to this and decided to act in the way tested on me. Rumors began to reach me that she was cheating on me. However, I myself saw her with other men: sometimes with an actor Evgeny Tsyganov, then with the editor-in-chief of a men's magazine, then with a big businessman.According to Mikheev, after another quarrel, Matilda drove off to South America.
She had a girlfriend who was called in the party Lucy LSD, the widow of the murdered authority. Lena, having carefully calculated everything with her, began to communicate in order to quickly get out of the border. She had connections there, ”says Dmitry. - True, in South America, the girls quickly quarreled. One night Matilda started calling me. Admitted that she drank too much ayahuasca (a drink with a psychotropic effect. - I.K.), quarreled with Lucy and asked to pick her up as soon as possible.
I took a promise from her that she would obey me in the future, and sent money for the journey. But, having returned to Moscow, a few days later she again went on a spree, and when I kicked her out of the house again, she started an affair with Shnur.
Getting close to Sergei Shnurov was an old dream of Mozgova. She confessed this to Mikheev and, despite his resistance, did everything to enter the same circle with the ex-soloist of the Leningrad group.
Somehow in the morning I got a call, - the photographer recalls. - I picked up the phone and I hear Cord's drunken voice: “And I just gave Matilda ... a ball. What do you think, maybe try again in jo ... y? Those words were like a knife to my heart. I'm sure it was Lenka who initiated that strange call. I wanted to show that I had achieved my goal. It's been a few years now and I still can't forget her. When I appointed the presentation of my new magazine “I want” for July 31, I did not even think that Cord and Matilda would have a wedding on that day. I read about it on the Internet and got drunk wildly with grief.
The newlyweds themselves did not care about Mikheev's experiences - at the wedding they had fun with all their heart. The relationship between Sergei and Lena was registered at the registry office No. 1 on the English Embankment in St. Petersburg. In honor of the holiday, Cord came in a light-colored shirt with a picture of a frivolous lady on the back, and attached a boutonniere to his fly. His 24-year-old fiancee wore a modest White dress. There was no veil on the girl.
Came to congratulate the newlyweds sports commentator Vasily Utkin, actor Ville Haapasalo, producer Vasily Melnikov and theater director Vasily Barkhatov. Among the few guests there were neither the groom's relatives, nor even the bride's relatives.
Sergei in every sense ceased to satisfy his wife
For a month now, fans of the Leningrad groupguessingwhat is the reason for the divorce of Cord and Matilda.Did he change? Did she go left?
“... Do not try to figure it out by satisfying your curiosity, reading into someone else's interpretations and expressing your own, it is useless. Get better at your own life, she passes by while you are browsing the Internet, "- wrote last week in social networks Matilda.
The young lady casts a shadow on the wattle fence: there is actually nothing to understand here. Over the past eight years, both spouses were convicted of adultery by each other, but they are getting divorced for a completely different reason. As a great family friend told us in secret, Matilda had long dreamed of becoming a mother. However, the adamant Sergei always answered his wife that he had enough children.
Announcing a divorce Sergey Shnurov emphasized that the initiator was the wife. Not wanting to comment on this event in detail, he clothed his feelings in the form of poetry.
Here are the lines from the first:
«
Let me hurt a lot now.
I'm wounded, maybe killed."
From the second:
«
Just move forward
Better not to look back.
If a woman is lying to you,
So it's all right."
And finally from the third:
«
What are family ties to me?
Do not knot the cord.
You drink, so in general all the muses.
Sober -scrap offers.
Many women -I'm alone".
Let's analyze his work. At first he suffers, then he comes to the conclusion that "all women are bitches", and then he turns to his wife with resentment, as if saying: "Fuck you, I just whistle - a hundred of these will come running." Don't have to be Sigmund Freud to understand: it was Matilda who threw Cord and not vice versa. And why would?
The first thing that comes to mind is the musician's betrayal.
“He drank and was in complete disarray. At some point, our relationship slipped into absolute abuse. As a result, he met a girl who gave him concerts in Germany, they started some kind of relationship, I didn’t know about the novel,like an idiot"- said Shnurova on the pages of the book Maxim Smelyak"Leningrad. Incredible and true story groups."
One day, returning from Spain, Matilda once more listened to the musician’s complaints about how tired he was of everything, and went to bed: “ He stayed in the kitchen to drink, and around five in the morning I hear him talking to someone. And he got so drunk that he began to call this young lady, and at some point I hear him say to her: “Well, let's say I leave, and what, will we live with you, or what, will we be together?” I leave the room, take the phone from him and say:« What's this?"And he sits in a glazed state and says: “Well". I'm talking: "Get out of here…”We didn't talk for a week. Then he called and said we needed to talk.He came, went to bed… As a result, he stayed at home.”
What conclusions do we draw? To get laid once on the side - yes, it was quite Shnurovskiy. But the musician was not going to divorce his Motya. His wife suited him just fine.
By the way, the stories of colleagues that Matilda caught him having sex with the soloist of "Leningrad" Florida Chanturia are most likely unfounded. Too many chances to sleep quickly. In addition, this half-Bashkir half-Georgian is considered close friend Matilda.

oral sex queen
No matter what anyone says, but over the years of marriage, Matilda has made a completely respectable gentleman out of a homeless-looking drunk. It was she who weaned Sergei from frequent drinking bouts, taught him to take a shower, brush his teeth and change his underwear every day. And besides, very high quality dressed up.
These metamorphoses soon affected the show business of our hero. Shnurov had the time and energy to earn millions.
I don't know how much money I have on my card. Matilda is responsible for all expenses and income, - Sergey said quite sincerely in a relatively recent interview.
After the wedding, the musician's business went uphill. In 2010, he gathered the disbanded Leningrad group and already in 2011, with an annual income of $ 1.2 million, he was included in the Forbes rating of sports and show business stars. In 2016, his income was already estimated at $12 million, and he entered the top three most expensive Russian stars.
However, experts say that Shnurov's real income, given the number of concerts and corporate parties, cannot be less than $20 million a year. No one doubts that the team's commercial success is completely due to Matilda, who firmly held Cord by the golden eggs.
Recall, by the way, how the girl reached such heights.
In the editorial office of Express Newspaper, Matilda first began to appear around 2004. They called her back then Lena Brain, and she was the girl of a secular photographer Dima Mikheev. While her boyfriend was recalculating the fee for the pictures, Lena usually sat with her legs crossed on the guest sofa, sparkling with unpretentious white panties with raspberries or strawberries.
The girl came to Moscow from Voronezh, where she lived with the lead singer of the 7B group Ivan Demyan. She did not hide the fact that she was always attracted to musicians, and she was confused with Dima only because he was well-known to any parties and was familiar with many artists.
Matilda is still Shnurova - a gutta-percha girl. Source: Instagram.com
According to Mikheev, it was he who came up with her pseudonym Matilda.
She acted like a Japanese. Once I lived with a real Japanese girl, so I know what I'm talking about. As soon as you take out a cigarette, she immediately runs up and lights it for you herself. Or you go into the room, and they immediately substitute a chair for you. You quickly get used to it and can no longer live without it. Shortly before our break, Matilda kept repeating: “After you, I can take any man for myself. I know what you need!
Another advantage of the girl was her willingness to go to any experiments in sex.
She did not refuse either sadomaso or group games, Dmitry shared. - And in oral sex she has no equal. Licked from head to toe, I almost lost consciousness. And, of course, I have never met a better rider. Flexible all of this, as if entirely on you, sliding tightly, is mounted ...
Lena constantly asked Dmitry to introduce her to the right people. She said that she was created for the bohemian life. He just laughed at it.
Soon, rumors began to reach me that she was cheating on me. I myself saw her with others: sometimes with an actor Evgeny Tsyganov, then with the editor-in-chief of a men's magazine, then with a big businessman. Somehow in the morning I got a call, - the photographer recalls. - I picked up the phone and I hear Cord's drunken voice: “And I just got your Matilda. What do you think, maybe you should try it in the f ... y? Every word is like a knife to my heart. I'm sure it was Lenka who initiated the stupid call. I wanted to show that I had achieved my goal. I met her a couple of days later at the Giusto club and could not stand it - I threw a crystal glass. She cut herself with shrapnel, and the guards beat me and dragged me out into the street ...
A bunch of apartments and cars
For eight years of married life with the most expensive of Russian musicians, a simple girl has turned into a bright representative of St. Petersburg bohemia, the owner of expensive real estate, a restaurant business and much more.
What will the ex-spouses begin to share in the very near future?
Shnurov owns an apartment with an area of more than 100 meters in the house of 1916, its cost is 20 million rubles. It also recorded an apartment well-known to Leningrad fans on the Kryukov Canal embankment, near the Mariinsky Theater. The price is about the same.
During the marriage, Matilda got two apartments in a house built in 1889 on Pestel Street, next to the ballet theater Boris Eifman. In total, almost 300 sq. m, the cost is more than 35 million rubles. And also another luxurious property on Tchaikovsky, opposite the Summer Garden, in a house built in 1846, consisting of two apartments and a veranda with a total area of more than 300 square meters. m, the approximate cost is more than 45 million rubles.
Matilda also acquired three BMW cars, and Sergey Shnurov became the owner of a Toyota Land Cruiser 200.
The joint business of the ex-spouses: the restaurant of Russian cuisine "CoCoCo" and the ballet school "Isadora", where they teach former soloists Bolshoi and Mikhailovsky Theatres, as well as the London Ballet Company.
Star Divorce Expert Lawyer Sergey Zhorin believes that Shnurov will not waste time on trifles and will leave all of the above to his wife without regret. Loud division of property, in his opinion, is not expected.
In this house on the street. Pestel located the school "Isadora".
Today she is known not only as the wife of the king of scandal and shocking Sergei Mozgovaya has already established herself as a successful business woman, a beautiful and stylish woman who does not deny herself the pleasure of buying exclusive designer clothes in fashion boutiques. The girl does not hide that she always dreamed of the life of a socialite, and in order to acquire this status, she had to marry a rich and famous person.
And Matilda Mozgovaya, whose photos today are the decoration of the ratings, did this. No one can blame her for the fact that before meeting the leader of the popular rock band Leningrad, her life was in full swing: she tried to make acquaintances with media people so that they would recognize her on the street. Previously, she was a simple journalist in Voronezh (although she did not succeed in this professional field), but then everything changed ...
Curriculum vitae
Yes, Matilda Mozgovaya was born in the capital of the Black Earth region. But over time, her creative ambitions became cramped in this region.
Initially, it was written in her that she The girl decided to take the pseudonym Matilda, as soon as she determined for herself that she would begin new life. Even having formalized relations with the soloist of Leningrad, she was not opposed to becoming Shnurova. However, this is how Matilda Mozgovaya herself states: “Date of birth, last name, first name and other nuances that are recorded in the passport are far from of paramount importance for me. The main thing is the actions and personal qualities of a person, as well as what he was able to achieve over the years of his life. However, the wife of Sergei Shnurov does not like to talk about how old she is. But it is known that between her and the soloist of "Leningrad" is 13 years.
Sharks of the pen in their publications have repeatedly written that Elena's childhood cannot be called rosy. The thing is that her parents were religious fanatics.
The mother forced the girl to memorize mantras and light incense. However, she failed to instill "spiritual" values in her daughter. As a teenager, our heroine got a tattoo on her stomach, and this act caused indignation among the parent.
"I grew up early"
Matilda Mozgovaya very early began to try on herself adult life. She regularly went to restaurants and nightclubs. In one of these "evil" establishments, she made an acquaintance with the musician of the 7B group, Ivan Demyan. It was he who advised the girl to go to the capital in order to realize her dreams. Subsequently, Ivan himself went to Moscow. Elena also began to mature for this step, especially since her rampant and careless lifestyle finally upset her relationship with her mother.
It didn't work out in Moscow...
Matilda Mozgovaya decides to follow Demyan's example and goes to him. However, the musician, who was a family man, hastened to disown the young lady and introduced her to his friend - professional photographer Dmitry Mikheev.
The girl constantly asked her new boyfriend to introduce her to famous people in show business. But Dmitry did not like being "used". After a long romance that lasted for three whole years, the paparazzi was ripe for breaking off relations with Mozgova. Matilda decided to seek support from other people. She started an affair with actor Yevgeny Tsygankov, then the object of her attention was Chief Editor famous men's magazine. However, no one was going to realize the dreams of a journalist from Voronezh, and together with her friend she leaves to “seek happiness” in South America. However, even abroad, Mozgova's life did not work out, and she goes back to her homeland.
northern capital
Arriving in Russia, after a while the girl decides to realize herself in St. Petersburg. But here no one knew her, and in order not to get bored, she decided to occupy herself with something worthwhile so that there was a minimum of free time. Matilda Mozgovaya, whose biography is a whole kaleidoscope of bright events, decided to apply to the Technological University and become a biochemist. It was perhaps the most difficult faculty in terms of admission. She coped with this task and for some time gnawed at the granite of science with pleasure. However, she never did, changing her life priorities.
ballet school
Soon the girl realized that she wanted to organize a ballet school in the northern capital. Husband Sergey Shnurov helped to implement this project, he invested in educational institution about one million rubles. Over time, the Isadora ballet school began to bring good profits. However, in recent months there were rumors that this project had become unprofitable, despite the fact that new machines, mirrors were purchased, and the premises were renovated. One way or another, Matilda Mozgovaya is proud of her brainchild.
Catering business
The sphere of interests of Cord's wife was not limited to ballet art. She is known in St. Petersburg as a famous restaurateur. It all started tritely: her husband asked Matilda to help modernize the Blue Pushkin bar, which he owns. Some time later, a significant meeting with the famous chef Igor Grechishkin took place. Then the idea of creating a restaurant "CoCoCo" ripened in the girl's head, the menu of which consisted exclusively of dishes based on natural products, which are supplied by domestic farmers. Today, this catering establishment is a fairly profitable and profitable business.
Acquaintance with the leader of "Leningrad"
And Matilda Mozgovaya, whose photos regularly appear in the Russian press, met thanks to their mutual friend who lives in the United States.
She just arrived in the Russian capital for a few days and asked Elena to come together to the dressing room of the musicians from Leningrad, since they had a long friendship with them. It was in the dressing room between Sergei and Matilda that a spark of sublime feeling ran through. Today they are happy together, they have cozy apartment on the Fontanka, where they live in harmony and love.

The biography of Matilda Shnurova begins on July 13, 1986 in the Voronezh region, in the village of Losevo. At birth, the girl's parents, Vladimir and Tatiana Mozgovy, named her Elena. After 1.5 years, the young people divorced, and the mother married Vladimir Nagorny for the 2nd time. New family settled in the village of Livenka, where after a certain time, Elena's younger half-brother, Igor, was born. The girl went to a rural school, studied for threes and usually behaved defiantly.
The reason could be the unsettled life of the child in the family. The mother also left her second husband, becoming interested in Sahaja Yoga. The woman moved to Voronezh, where she began to earn a living by sewing. Elena, in turn, settled with her dad, and then wandered among her grandmothers and for some time lived in Voronezh with her mother. Before coming of age, she decided to try her luck in the capital: the girl dreamed of studying at the directing department of VGIK.
The soloist of the 7b group Ivan Demyan, who himself was from Voronezh, helped Elena settle in Moscow. The guy allowed the girl to live in the studio. Soon, fate brought Elena Mozgovaya with the producer of the famous Tatu musical group Ivan Shapovalov, who offered the girl a job in the office of the production center.
Soon Elena had an affair with photographer Dmitry Mikheev, who offered to change her name and become Matilda. Mozgovaya liked the idea. After some time, the girl decided to change Moscow to St. Petersburg. In a new place, a new prosperous period began in the life of Matilda.
In St. Petersburg, Elena Mozgovaya became a student at a technological university, choosing the most difficult faculty - biochemistry. Elena was bored in St. Petersburg, because in Moscow she had "a million friends", which included Natalya Vodianova, Anastasia Volochkova, Eduard Limonov.
To make it more fun in a new place, the girl plunged into science and, as she herself says, "studied with insane interest." At some point, Matilda even wanted to do scientific activity, however, met with her future husband Sergei Shnurov. Therefore, Matilda Shnurova - this is how the heroine now appears - left science. Arguing this by the fact that "it is impossible to work in a biochemical laboratory and be the wife of Sergei Shnurov."
Soon, a spectacular brunette with expressive eyes turned from a biochemist into a restaurateur and head of dance schools, in particular ballet. The last Matilda Shnurova gave the name "Isadora". The girl explained the opening of the center by the fact that at the age of 16 she became interested in ballet and she liked this activity.
She invited graduates of the A. Vaganova Academy, soloists of the Russian Ballet and the Mariinsky Theater to the school. And the model external data (with a height of 170 centimeters, the weight of the leader is no more than 52 kilograms) and the graceful plasticity of Matilda allowed her to take part in productions and theatrical photo shoots.
Regarding the restaurant business, for Matilda Shnurova it began with the management of the bar, which belongs to her husband. The name of the first establishment is Blue Pushkin. The owner of the bar, Sergei Shnurov, did not have enough time to do business. Accordingly, Matilda was forced to take up the work herself. In the process, she met the chef Igor Grishechkin. There was an idea to open a restaurant where Grishechkin would be engaged in cooking.
And so it happened. At the very beginning of autumn 2012, Matilda Shnurova found and rented a room. And in December 2012, the CoCoCo restaurant opened its doors to the first guests. For St. Petersburg, this was a high-profile event. The place quickly became popular. According to the results of the year before last, KoCoCo already took the 4th most popular place among the restaurants of the city, and chef Igor Grishechkin became the best chef in the city according to the Where To Eat award.
The growing popularity of the institution made it possible for the organizers to change the address of the restaurant's registration: from the basement on Nekrasov Street, "CoCoCo" moved to the top floor of the W St. Petersburg, where the French culinary specialist Alain Ducasse worked before.
Matilda Shnurova is happy to name the visitors of her establishment. Eminent persons come here - Avdotya Smirnova with Anatoly Chubais, Vera Polozkova, Polina Kitsenko, Nika Belotserkovskaya. Regarding Nicky, Matilda said that she was a devoted connoisseur of her culinary talent. Matilda took many recipes from Belonika.
The KoCoCo establishment, which is 100 percent owned by Shnurova, is today a kind of visiting card of the restaurant Peter. Matilda happily says that she often sees the phrase “Petersburg is the Hermitage, the Mariinsky Theater and CoCoCo” in her own Instagram feed under the photo.
Matilda Shnurova has formed a clear concept for the establishment: "KoKoKo" is focused on Russian cuisine, where all dishes are prepared from seasonal products grown in this area. In this restaurant, Shnurova was the first in the city to be able to realize fashion trend local cuisine, which restaurateurs of St. Petersburg have long been talking about. At the same time, the restaurant’s menu is distinguished by its particular sophistication and variety: in addition to the beloved potatoes with herring, here you can taste stroganina, crucian carp, quail, stewed rabbit, and even a farm burger with root chips.
Before meeting with her current husband Sergei Shnurov, Matilda had novels with others famous men. There are rumors of a romantic relationship with the famous paparazzi Dmitry Mikheev, as well as a short relationship with the leader musical group"7B" by Ivan Demyan and actor Evgeny Tsyganov. But Matilda Shnurova herself does not confirm this information.
With Sergey Corded Matilda I was introduced by a mutual friend who lives in America. The first meeting happened in 2006 at a concert of the Leningrad collective. Matilda immediately attracted the attention of an eccentric musician, who compared the beauty of the girl with the appearance of the beautiful Swan from the canvas of Mikhail Vrubel. On the first date, the couple walked around the clubs of the city.
At that time, the scandalous rock singer had already broken up with Oksana Akinshina and his heart was free. The romance that began immediately captured Matilda and Sergei. Since 2010, the lovers began to live together. Matilda Shnurova says that she and her husband felt like one and did not get tired of discovering new facets in each other. The couple always had something to talk about, since both are erudite people and with higher education(Shnurov has 2 diplomas).
The couple officially legalized their relationship and consecrated the relationship in Orthodox church. The wedding ceremony was attended by sports commentator Vasily Utkin, actor Ville Haapasalo, and opera director Vasily Barkhatov was a witness. After the marriage, the couple settled in the center of St. Petersburg in an apartment overlooking the Fontanka.
The Shnurovs did not think about having children. Matilda, in an interview with Ksenia Sobchak, said that in this moment not ready to be a mother, and Sergei Shnurov either jokingly or seriously pointed out the lack of living space: according to the musician, a family needs at least 500 square meters. In addition, the singer already has 2 children from previous marriages.
Last year, Matilda, in addition to previously launched projects and social life, tried herself in the production business. Shnurova assisted journalist Maxim Semelyak in publishing the book “Leningrad. Incredible and true story."
In May of this year, fans were shocked by the news that Matilda and Sergei Shnurov were separating after 8 years of marriage. The couple did not want to comment on the reasons for the divorce, asking fans and the media not to touch on their personal lives.
