Divorce usually hits children the hardest. They often stay with their mother and suffer greatly from their father's lack of attention. If the mother gets married for the second time, the "second dad" does not always have normal relations with the wife's children. But today we want to remember the most famous stepfathers who were able to become their adopted children truly family and fully replaced their father.

Nikolay Rybnikov

The actor was in love with Alla Larionova since his student days and even seriously thought about leaving life, because the girl did not reciprocate. When Alla Larionova found out that she was pregnant, and the father of her unborn child, Ivan Pereverzev, married another, she was in despair. At this moment, Nikolai Rybnikov appeared again in her life. He raised his daughter Alena as his own child, and even when Arina was born, he did not separate the girls. Alena sometimes even thought that he loved her more than his own daughter.

Rolan Bykov

The son of Elena Sanaeva, Pavel, was brought up by the actress's parents for a long time: even after Rolan Bykov appeared in her life, she could not devote much time to Pavel due to the busy schedule of filming and touring. When the boy was 11 years old, she could no longer live apart from him and brought her son home. But the relationship between the boy and Rolan Bykov was very difficult.
