It is only fairy tales that end with a happy wedding and an optimistic mention that the couple lived a long and happy life together and died on the same day. Life actually turns out to be much more brutal. And the wedding is sometimes just the beginning. The heroes of our today's review had a chance to experience a real tragedy, and then learn to live without a loved one.

Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergey Grinkov

Figure skaters Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov were the favorites of millions. They met as children, skated together for many years, and won many awards. They became European champions three times, climbed to the top step of the podium four times at the World Championships, and twice won first place at the Olympic Games. And every time, going out on the ice, they surprised with their skill and made them admire a real flight on the ice.

In 1991 they became husband and wife, and a year and a half later their daughter Dasha was born. The baby was only three years old when her father Sergei Grinkov died of a heart attack while training in Lake Placid. At that moment, it seemed to Ekaterina Gordeeva that her life was over. But she found the strength to live on, in 2001 she married the skater Ilya Kulik for the second time, gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth. True, after 15 years, the family broke up.

Konstantin Khabensky and Anastasia Smirnova

In January 2000, Konstantin Khabensky named journalist Anastasia Smirnova his wife. He was happy and believed that he would live with his beloved woman all his life. But when Anastasia was pregnant, doctors discovered she had brain cancer. The actor's wife refused treatment, fearing that it could harm the baby she was carrying under her heart. When Anastasia gave birth to her son Ivan and nevertheless began treatment, the disease was already too advanced. Ivan was a little over a year old when his mother passed away.

Konstantin Khabensky has kept the memory of his first wife for many years. Even when she was ill, he founded a fund to help children suffering from similar diseases. In 2013, the actor married his colleague Anastasia Litvinova for the second time. And the foundation still provides invaluable assistance to children suffering from cancer.

Yuri Moroz and Marina Levtova

The couple lived together for 20 happy years until that tragic day when Marina Levtova had an accident while riding a snowmobile. The snowmobile, which the actress was on with her daughter Daria, turned over. Dasha received several fractures, and Marina Levtova hit a tree with force and died as a result of a head injury.

Yuri Moroz was desperately worried about the death of his beloved wife and, despite his second marriage to actress Victoria Isakova, does not like to talk about the tragedy that happened to Marina Levtova. Only bitterly he notices that everyone hurts in their own way. In the second marriage, the actor and director had a daughter, Marusya, but she died at the age of three months. The second daughter of Yuri Moroz and Victoria Isakova Varvara is already 5 years old.

Boris Nevzorov and Anastasia Ivanova

The actor today recalls the tragedy that happened a quarter of a century ago with tears in his eyes. Returning home on the evening of June 3, 1993, he found his wife on the floor with no signs of life. While Boris Nevzorov was absent, the brother of one of the family's acquaintances came to visit their house. Anastasia knew him and let him into the apartment. And he killed a young woman in order to take some inexpensive jewelry and an old video recorder.

For many years, Boris Nevzorov could not come to terms with the loss, he raised his daughter Polina with the help of grandmothers, and his attempts to start a family ended in parting. True, over the past 10 years he has been happy with Elena Khripunova, whom he met at his native Maly Theater. Elena serves as an accountant and, according to the actor, has become a real dream of happiness for him.

Emmanuel Vitorgan and Alla Balter

When Alla Balter and Emmanuel Vitorgan met, they were both not free. They had to make difficult choices and destroy their families. They both did not justify themselves, they only admitted: their feelings were so strong that they simply could not live separately. For many years, the couple were happy, they raised their son Maxim. When Emmanuel Gedeonovich was diagnosed with lung cancer, his wife tirelessly looked after him and was able to put him on his feet.

But the doctors soon told her a disappointing diagnosis: oncology of the spine. No matter how hard the actor tried to save his beloved woman, in July 2000 she was gone. It took many years before the actor found happiness again. His wife was Irina Mlodik, who gave his wife two beautiful daughters Ethel and Klara.

Our heroes were happily married, but some celebrities even did not reach the altar and did not create families - their relationship was tragically interrupted. Everyone had to look for the strength to live and move on after the loss of a loved one.
