When a man is much older than a woman in a couple, such marriages are rarely called unequal, but when, on the contrary, in society it still causes, if not condemnation, then disapproval. Few believe in the durability and reliability of such unions, but several famous modern actresses were not afraid to take the risk and tie their fate with men much younger than themselves. Which of them regretted it, and who is still happy in family life - further in the review.

Alena Khmelnitskaya and Alexander Sinyushin

This year, actress Alena Khmelnitskaya turned 49 years old. In 2013, she broke up with her first husband, director Tigran Keosayan, after 20 years of marriage and the birth of two daughters. Her husband left her for another woman, journalist Margarita Simonyan, who at that time was expecting a child from him. Khmelnitskaya not only found the strength to forgive Keosayan, but also managed to find a common language with his new chosen one. And after 3 years, information appeared in the press that she herself had found her personal happiness.

The actress met businessman Alexander Sinyushin at a party with friends while vacationing in Nice. At that time, Alena Khmelnitskaya was not looking for a new serious relationship and was not ready for the fact that this acquaintance would last in the future. In addition, Alexander turned out to be 13 years younger than the actress, and it seemed to her that he could not become a loved one for her. But it soon turned out that their mutual sympathy grew into something more. They began to live together without entering into an official marriage.

The actress said: "". Life taught her to be happy here and now and not to think about what will happen in 10 years, because Khmelnitskaya now knows that even with her husband, who is older than her, there can be no guarantees and full confidence in the future.

Evgenia Dmitrieva and Vladimir Kimmelman

A colleague of Alena Khmelnitskaya and her partner in the film "Three Half Graces" Yevgeny Dmitrieva, who will soon turn 48, also found her happiness in a marriage with a man much younger than her. On the screens, she more than once embodied the images of women who, in adulthood, had romance with young men - both in Three Semi-Graces and in the melodrama Zaza. But the plot, which a few years after filming in these films played out off-screen, was more interesting and happier than on-screen stories.

Today Evgenia Dmitrieva is one of the most successful and sought-after actresses, in her filmography there are already more than 100 works, in the theater she played dozens of bright roles. And she is also called one of the best theater teachers in the capital - for 17 years she taught acting at the Schepkinsky School, and then at the Moscow Art Theater School. 11 years ago, Vladimir Kimmelman came from Omsk to the Schepkinskoye School to enter. He was accepted, and Evgenia Dmitrieva became one of his teachers. She was 19 years older than the guy, but feelings flared up between them, which they hid from everyone for many years.

Before that, Evgenia Dmitrieva was married only once, her student marriage lasted only 2 years. And in 2011 it became known that the 39-year-old actress became a mother for the first time. She did not give the name of the father of her child then. After 7 years, her second child was born, and then she admitted that she had been married for a long time and happily married. But she continued to hide the name of her chosen one - as she explained later, she did not want Vladimir to be perceived only as the husband of a famous actress, because he was then building his own acting career, which could interfere. Only recently has a married couple revealed their secret. They have been together for 10 years and are very happy together.

Ekaterina Klimova and Gela Meskhi

Actress Ekaterina Klimova, who turned 42 this year, was married 3 times. With her first chosen one, Ilya Khoroshilov, she began to meet, even when she studied with him at the same school. Married to him at the age of 24, she gave birth to a daughter. While studying at the theater school, the actress met Igor Petrenko. Later they starred together in the TV series "Moscow Windows", and their on-screen romance went off the set. In the second marriage, the actress had two sons. This union broke up 10 years later due to the actor's addiction to alcohol.

On the set of the series "Wolf's Heart" in 2014, Yekaterina Klimova met the actor Gela Meskhi, who was 8 years younger than her. He fell in love with his partner at first sight, they soon got married, the couple had a daughter. Later, the actress admitted that when, after the second divorce, she was left alone with three children, she did not think about any new relationship, but Gela persisted: "". Unfortunately, the actress's third marriage turned out to be the shortest - in 2019, after 4 years of marriage, they broke up.

For a long time, Ekaterina Klimova did not comment on the reasons for her third divorce, but recently in an interview, she admitted that the main problem was not the age difference, but fanatical devotion to the acting profession: "".

Such examples have long ceased to be an exception to the rule: 7 happy celebrity couples in which wives are older than husbands.
