She burst onto the Soviet stage with a fresh wind, leaving after each appearance on the stage a feeling of contact with something extraordinary. Irina Ponarovskaya attracted attention not only with her amazing voice, but also with her appearance: bright, stylish, with a constant smile on her face. The Chanel fashion house officially awarded her the title of Miss Chanel of the Soviet Union in 1990. However, until a certain time, very little was known about what happened to the singer outside of public life.

In recent years, the popular performer practically does not appear on the screens, does not give interviews and leads an almost reclusive lifestyle. And it all started in a completely different way.

Patience and work

Irina always looks amazing on the TV screen or on stage. It seems that everything in life is easy and simple for her. But behind the seeming lightness is the singer's incredible work and the eternal struggle not only for her own health, but also for her life.

In her interviews, Irina repeatedly says that as a child she was a very plump child, and after that she worked hard on herself, diligently bringing her body to perfection. True, it is very rarely admitted that drastic weight loss has led to serious health problems. But she stopped only when she began to like herself.

Naturally, like all young girls, she dreamed of love, imagining a beautiful feeling and a happy life filled with beauty and high feelings.

Unsuccessful marriage

The first husband of the singer was Grigory Kleimits, the musical director of the VIA "Singing Guitars", where Irina worked at that time. A young talented musician seemed to her the embodiment of the very beauty in love that she dreamed of.

However, in life everything turned out to be much more prosaic and mundane. They were united by joint creativity, but the spouse's weakness for the manifestation of female attention very quickly led to a divorce. Irina was not going to endure her husband's betrayal and instantly filed for divorce after learning about his hobby for another woman.

Fight for life

Irina Ponarovskaya was not going to publicly mourn her own disappointment in love. Instead, she plunged headlong into work. Her beauty and extravagant brightness delighted the audience. But no one knew how hard it was for her to always look amazing.

The singer's health was already undermined at that time, she suffered from ischemic pathology since childhood, the singer often fainted at home. At one of the concerts in Kursk, Irina became ill, but she finished singing to the end, and behind the scenes they barely had time to catch her. On the way to the hospital, her heart stopped due to renal colic. She came back to life at the moment when the doctors had already lost hope for her salvation.

A month later, Irina Ponarovskaya experienced another clinical death and again due to kidney problems.

New love

Irina did not lose hope of recovery, especially since then a new feeling was already arising in her heart. Weiland Rodd, an African-American, jazz singer and musician, took a touching care of the singer, devotedly courting her during her illness. It seemed to her again that she had met her ideal man.

Soon they became husband and wife, despite the misunderstanding of the performer's relatives and the obvious disapproval of such a marriage from society. However, Irina was not going to give up her love because of someone's disapproving looks.

After a while, the couple decided to adopt a dark-skinned girl, and soon their son Anthony was born. A little later, a situation arose, the light on which has not yet been shed. Each of the spouses claims that it was the other who gave little Nastya back to the orphanage. Be that as it may, the girl was again abandoned. Irina filed for divorce shortly thereafter.

Hard time

A very difficult time has come in the singer's life. She suffered from nervous breakdowns and even took drugs. However, she was able to pull herself together and stop in time.

And soon she fell in love again. This time, Soso Pavliashvili won her heart. Unfortunately, he was married at that time and was in no hurry to file a divorce. Irina, on the other hand, did not like the role of a mistress at all, therefore, as expected, a break followed after a year of relationship.

And new idols came to the stage, Irina became unclaimed. It was no longer possible to go to work from failures in his personal life. But she was not going to sit idly by. She opened her own image agency, took up charity work. And she married again, this time to the famous doctor Dmitry Pushkar.

This time, their happiness destroyed the excessive attention of the press to the person of Irina Ponarovskaya. The husband did not pass the test of publicity.

Real Lady

Irina Ponarovskaya has not appeared on the air for a long time, preferring to lead a rather secluded lifestyle. She performs by invitation only and for a very decent fee, not aiming for a lot of concerts.

Thanks to the fact that she owned a house near Narva, which the singer inherited from her parents, she became a citizen of the European Union. The son went abroad much earlier, got married and gave his mother a wonderful grandson, in whom Irina Ponarovskaya does not like a soul.

She is still stylish and strong. Diseases, life failures and disappointments could not break her. It's just that sometimes, according to the singer, in order to declare yourself, you don't have to shout at all. Silence can be much more eloquent than words.

The only friend of Irina Ponarovsky has been an actress for many years.
