She has experience working in the theater and played in a play. She was repeatedly offered roles in films and television series. She does not rule out a career as an actress. On this occasion, Santa said: “I like roles where I can somehow express myself. I have already been offered roles in TV series, but I refused, this is a cliché. I don’t want to play just a girl, myself or a role that is not interesting for myself.”

She replied that she stays out of politics: “I separate show business, creativity and politics. I do not perform in occupied and annexed territories, for certain people, on Russian public holidays. And in other cases: I cannot not perform in Russia at all ", of course. Now everyone performs there, but there are those who refuse. This is everyone’s choice and right, I don’t judge anyone and I ask you not to judge me for this, because creative people look at it all a little differently."

Personal life of Santa Dimopoulos:
From 2007 to 2010, she was in a de facto marriage with Ukrainian showman Andrei Dzhedzhula. On October 29, 2008, the couple had a son, Daniel.

This is a lot, but I don’t feel this difference because I have never been interested in being with my peers. My social circle is These are people older than me, so I feel very comfortable in this relationship. Moreover, Igor is one of those people who take great care of themselves, engage in sports and self-education every day. In this case, we complement each other, and, of course, he invests more into me. I think that with him I grew by at least ten years."

Santa Dimopoulos is a Ukrainian model, world champion in fitness, Miss Ukraine Universe 2006, singer, participant in the Ukrainian project “Star Factory-3”, ex-soloist of the group.
Santa Yanisovna Dimopoulos was born in May 1987 in Kyiv. Ukrainian, Greek and Assyrian blood were mixed in her veins. Hence the exotic name and striking appearance. Father Yanis Dimopoulos and mother Lyudmila Ivanova divorced early, but dad continued to participate in raising the girl. In 2004, Santa experienced a personal loss - Yanis Dimopoulos died of cancer.
From an early age, the girl showed amazing flexibility and danced beautifully. In this regard, Santa began attending a choreographic school and managed to achieve the title of “Master of Sports” in this field.
Santa's ideal parameters and bright model appearance did not escape the attention of modeling agencies. Dimopoulos signed a contract with the capital's Karin agency. In 2006, a 19-year-old girl participated in the Miss Ukraine Universe project, where she took 3rd place.
In 2011, when Santa Dimopoulos turned 24, the girl managed to win the championship title in fitness and bodybuilding. This event took place in Bangkok, where the World Cup was held. The girl was awarded 1st place in the “Female Model Physique” category.
Glossy magazines gladly published Santa Dimopoulos's photo shoots. In 2014, by that time she had already become popular, the artist received an invitation from the publication MAXIM, for which she starred in a candid photo shoot and gave an extensive interview.
At the same time, Santa did not abandon education. In 2011, at the insistence of her mother, she received a diploma from Kyiv University and became a lawyer.
Music
In addition to excellent plasticity, the girl also had good vocal abilities. The first stage of Dimopoulos’s singing biography began with participation in a little-known Ukrainian group, which was called “Seventh Heaven”. With members of the musical group, Santa appeared in the videos for the hits “About Love” and “Stranger”. But soon Dimopoulos left the team.
The second step up was the popular TV project “Star Factory”. The Kiev resident appeared in the 3rd season of the Ukrainian show in 2009. Here, the bright performer was noticed by the acting producer of the project. The seriousness of the project was given by the presence of influential people on the jury - producer of Russian Radio in Ukraine Sergei Kuzin, choreographer Dmitry Kolyadenko, television producer Valentin Koval, producer of the New Channel.
Dimopoulos did not last long on the TV show and left long before the finale. Konstantin Meladze had to remember Santa in December 2011, when she left VIA Gra. The Kiev resident replaced the soloist who left the band. Together with Santa, another participant of “Star Factory-3”, a finalist of the competition, appeared in the team. As part of the trio, the girl went on tours and participated in photo shoots.
But already in October of the following year, Dimopoulos left VIA Gra. In its composition, she managed to sing only one hit called “Hello, Mom!” The director shot a video for this composition that will be remembered by many.
Another song that appeared in the singer’s repertoire during this period is the duet “I Don’t Know Why,” performed together with Vasily Bondarchuk. In 2012, Santa released a video for the hit “In Joy and Sorrow,” where footage appeared in which the singer appeared together with Vladimir Samsonenko.
Santa Dimopoulos announced plans to start a solo career. And indeed, in the spring of 2013, the artist presented her debut song, called “When We Move.” The recording of the next musical composition was not long in coming - soon the hit “Running Away” appeared. To date, the singer has recorded 4 singles.
It soon became known that the former VIA Gra participant was seriously thinking about an acting career. In addition to participating in the filming of commercials for UkrSibbank and the EnerGo drink of the Biola brand, the girl decided to receive specialized acting education. In 2014, Santa announced the successful completion of the New York Film Academy.
Santa Dimopoulos, while remaining a singer, actress, and model, manages to build a business career. In 2013, the girl tried herself as an organizer of the Gold Vintage brand boutique, which she opened together with her colleague Yulia Kovaleva.
In November 2016, the artist undertook a reboot of her singing career. Together with the ex-soloists of VIA Gra, the girl became a member of a new musical group organized by producer Sergei Kovalev.
The team received the loud name “Queens”. Soon, the girls’ first single, “Why,” was released, which immediately ended up in the concert program of the Golden Gramophone award ceremony of the year and in the rotation of leading radio channels in Ukraine and Russia. The group did not last long in this composition; already in April 2017, the girls were replaced by successors.
Personal life
It is not the career, but the personal life of Santa Dimopoulos that attracts much more attention. The beauty regularly “throws brushwood” into this unquenchable fire. The first husband of the dark-skinned singer was Ukrainian showman and TV presenter Andrei Dzhedzhula. This couple was considered one of the most beautiful in the country's show business. The couple had a son, Daniel, in October 2008. As the singer noted, she dreamed of a son with that name since childhood. But soon the marriage cracked. Santa and Andrey were at odds with scandals and mutual accusations, in which fans took one side or the other.
In the fall of 2012, it became known that Dimopoulos had arranged a personal life with Kyiv businessman Vladimir Samsonenko. There was a rumor that the wedding ceremony took place in a luxurious ancient castle in Italy. Photos from the wedding were looked at and commented on by everyone for a long time. But the very next year, Santa Dimopoulos surprised with a statement that the wedding with Samsonenko was not real.
The fall of 2015 again brought fresh news about Santa. As it turned out, the girl married a wealthy Kyiv businessman Igor Kucherenko, owner of a network of sports clubs and co-owner of a large construction company. Kucherenko is also spoken of as a gold miner.
Santa Dimopoulos now
The singer maintains her physical shape at the same level. With a height of 173 cm, Santa's weight does not exceed 52 kg, and his figure parameters (89-60-90) are as close as possible to ideal. But the desire to look better did not escape the beauty. Over time, Santa became interested in lip surgery, as can be seen from the photo from “ Instagram» singers. Now the girl regularly receives hyaluronic acid injections.
At the end of January 2018, Santa Dimopoulos was in Miami in the company of his children, as reported from her own Instagram page. The artists had already communicated before - in 2009, Philip Kirkorov, Santa Dimopoulos and Tatyana Vorzheva performed the hit “Just Give” at the Star Factory concert.

Santa Dimopoulos
In an interview with Viva! Santa Dimopoulos spoke about the reasons for her divorce from her millionaire husband Vladimir Samsonenko and commented on her relationship with Anna Sedokova’s husband Maxim Chernyavsky.
- Let's talk about getting you into another relationship. Anna Sedokova broke up with her husband, which she wrote about not only on social networks, but also in a detailed interview in a Russian magazine, in which she said that a woman was to blame for her family discord. She didn’t name names, but one can assume and draw parallels that Sedokova meant you. Moreover, on social networks you posted photos of yourself in the company of her husband Maxim.
For a very long time I wanted to tell Anya not to involve me in the story of her divorce. She knows perfectly well that I have nothing to do with this. I have no right to publicly discuss what happened between Max and Anya - I am above petty squabbles and gossip. I can only say that no outside woman was involved in their separation. Anya herself is already confused, who is to blame ( smiling). It’s just that this theory is more advantageous for her.
Then how do you explain why photos of you together appear at this very moment? How long have you known Maxim?
I met Maxim a long time ago - he and Anya were still together. We met a couple of times - they came to see me in Miami. Max and Anya were a wonderful couple, it seemed to me that they loved each other and everything was fine with them. Anya is wrong when she claims that I can fight for men: I have always had enough attention, and never in my life have I fought, let alone for busy men - even for free men! On the contrary, men always fought for me. I am a calm and self-sufficient person - I will never do anything mean.
The story began in Los Angeles, where my team and I went to shoot a joint video with Sergei Lazarev. I called my old friend Timati, and we met in a group that included Max. The photographs you are talking about were taken exactly that day - I did not meet Max alone. By the way, we recently saw each other in Kyiv, but we have purely friendly relations. Moreover, as practice shows, men under 35 are too small for me, and Max is only 26 years old - he is still just a child ( smiling). It so happened that most of my friends are men with whom I am connected exclusively by friendship. However, I appreciate him: he is a very good, open, kind, bright person - it’s surprising that such men still exist today.
- And Vladimir, having seen these photographs, tried to sort things out?
Naturally, he did not support this. But then I did not have the strength or desire to listen to him. Maybe he was right and I shouldn't have done it, but I can't turn back time. All that remains is to laugh at the situation and draw the right conclusions.
- Did you consult with your mother about your separation from Vova?
No, I didn’t want to disturb her, I tried to relieve her of her worries. But my mother is a very insightful woman, she immediately realized that we could not be together for long. She did not comment on the situation - no reproaches, no advice. Her brilliant phrase: “You don’t have to make your father out of characters in a novel that isn’t yours.” As it turned out, she was right - both Andrei Dzhedzhula (Santa’s common-law husband and the father of her son Daniel - ed.) and Vladimir simply turned out to be not my men.
- What are your ambitions and plans as a singer?
Grandiose! I work every day, record songs - it feels like I’ve been released into the wild! Relationships require a lot of attention and dedication - you make not your own life comfortable, but someone else’s. Of course, I need to meet not a consumer, but a giving person with whom I will learn to maintain a balance between family and work. Now I have more time for myself and my son, and my plans include creative achievements and personal growth. I'm sure everything will work out!
- What did the former common-law husband, Andrei Dzhedzhula, say about this whole situation?
Having found out, he called and offered to meet. Andrei did not want to communicate with me for a long time without a lawyer, he did not see his son for six months, but at the meeting he said that it was time to bury the hatchet. Apparently, his struggle with himself was over. I did not resist his desire to see his son - we began to communicate again. I'm not a vindictive person, I'm glad everything worked out. In fact, Andrey is a wonderful dad, and a child needs a father.
- How did Daniel survive the situation when he did not see his father for six months, and how did his son get along with Vladimir?
Daniel is a very sociable child. He goes to different classes, draws and reads a lot. She and Vova found a common language, but they had neither strong attachment nor rejection, because they spent very little time together. And dad is dad, he is the only one and this is Andrey. The child always knew this. Maybe because Denis is busy, but I saw that my son does not suffer due to the absence of his dad. He was bored and asked, but soon, due to his age, he switched over completely - he was only four years old. Denis loves Andrey very much!
- Have you ever thought about getting back together with Andrey?
The feelings have passed - what kind of return can we talk about? Now it’s hard for me to imagine that we can be together again: the novel is finished, the book is closed.
Then maybe a new man has appeared in your life? You know what they say - old love goes away, new love comes.
Love is wonderful, but now I enjoy the feeling of freedom. My personal life will no longer be like a reality show. And now I know for sure that love exists when there is freedom, respect and kinship of souls.
But unexpectedly, the governments of four countries stood up for the appetizing forms - following Spain, Italy and Israel, France passed a law requiring models to have a normal weight. In our country, the matter has not yet reached the law, but disputes on the Internet are already boiling. So who should become the trendsetter now, skinny or donut?

MALE LOOK
Thick and thin
Sorry girls. Not in the sense that, as in one old joke, “the arms are thin, the legs are thin, but you want to live.” They didn’t become this way themselves, they were forced to. They were told: if you want to go to the podium, forget about food. Well, they forgot. You bring her to a restaurant, you want to show her breadth of nature, and she sips a glass of still water all evening. This is the job.
Now, it turns out that in order not to lose this job, they need to spend extra money on bread, meat, pasta, cereals, sausages, cakes and other elements of the sweet life? Are you sure that you will like the result? It's just that some girls suit being thin, while others don't. This suits the models (mostly). And it’s somehow strange to be happy that they will now weigh more. We rarely encounter models in real life.
Something else is important here. Having looked at the models, other girls convinced themselves that this was not a technical standard of the fashion industry, but an ideal of female beauty. And they bring themselves to such a state that it’s scary to watch. Because they don’t wear the same outfits as models, they don’t walk on the catwalk, but next to us. They walk on caricaturedly thin legs in ordinary dresses, skirts and blouses. Now there is a chance that some will come to their senses. Because a woman on the podium is an example to follow.
On the other hand, will you be very happy if the so-far isolated examples of so-called plus models (that is, to call a spade a spade, when a fat woman demonstrates fashionable clothes, or even underwear) become widespread? Do you really like “beauty” contests like “Fat Girl 2015”, where ladies of very unpleasant shapes wear swimsuits and dance “Swan Lake”?
And in general, you need to be more careful with various kinds of prohibitions. Otherwise, today we will simply stop putting thin models on the catwalks, and tomorrow we will come up with a law for them “On insulting the feelings of fat women” and cancel fashion shows altogether.

In 2009, Santa decided to take part in the popular Star Factory project.
