July 31, the famous singer, People's Artist of the USSR, one of the most elegant women in Soviet and Russian pop music Edite Piehe turns 80. In the professional sphere, she reached all conceivable and inconceivable heights, but in her personal life, everything turned out not so successfully. Edita Piekha was married three times, but she calls all three marriages mistakes. Despite the huge number of fans, she now prefers to be alone.

The first husband of Edita Piekha was the head of the Druzhba ensemble, in which she performed in her youth, Alexander Bronevitsky. He loved his wife very much, but turned out to be pathological jealous. Once, when she left with Muslim Magomayev on a tour to France, Bronevitsky rushed after her and burst into the room in the middle of the night to check if his wife was cheating on him. But Edita Stanislavovna actually had real reasons for jealousy. Everything happened as in a joke: she returned earlier from the tour and found her husband with another woman. As it turned out, this betrayal was not the only one, although Bronevitsky admitted that he continues to love only his wife. Their marriage broke up after 20 years of marriage, but the creative relationship was preserved.

From Bronevitsky, Edita Piekha went to the KGB Colonel Gennady Shestakov, who became her second husband. This time, there was nothing that the singer was so afraid of - her husband did not cheat on her. But he had another addiction, even more unbearable. He suffered from alcoholism. They lived together for several years, but in the end Piekha could not stand it and left her husband. It was rumored that after that he tried to sue her for the apartment.

The third husband of Edita Stanislavovna was an employee of the analytical center of the presidential administration of Russia, Vladimir Polyakov. In fact, he was a fan of Piekha's work from a young age, but he did not even dream that he would ever be able to meet her in reality. He was married twice and raised two daughters. Polyakov often watched the singer's performances on TV, and after his second marriage broke up, he decided to move on to action and try his luck. At one of Piekha's private speeches for the political elite, he had the opportunity to get to know her. But it was not so easy to conquer it. Their telephone romance lasted two years, while both stayed in different cities and called each other by "you".

In August 1994, the wedding of Piekha and Polyakov took place, the singer even decided this time to take her husband's surname. She later admitted: "".

After the wedding, the spouses continued to live in two cities: he remained in Moscow, and she - in St. Petersburg. At the age of 68, Polyakov found it difficult to be constantly traveling, and he persuaded his wife to move to him. And she, in turn, offered to live together in St. Petersburg. They never managed to find a compromise. Polyakov began to come and call less and less and sometimes even forgot to congratulate her on the holidays. In the end, Piekha filed for divorce and regained her last name.

The singer does not like to talk about her failures in her personal life: "".

Now Edita Stanislavovna says that her best song is her daughter Ilona, and she was always truly happy on stage, but not in her personal life. “”, - says the singer.
