In October, 46-year-old actor Yevgeny Stychkin became a father for the fifth time. In recent years, he was extremely reluctant to talk about his personal life, and this news for many of his fans came as a complete surprise. Few even knew that he was officially married for the second time, and that one of the most famous and sought-after modern actresses became his chosen one. They met on the set back in 2007 and have since signed a "love contract" …

Once the actor said that he chose this profession because in his youth he “followed the path of least resistance” - his mother, ballerina Ksenia Ryabinkina, was a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater, his father, Alexei Stychkin, worked as a simultaneous interpreter at the UN and at the State Film Agency, and as a godfather became a famous actor, People's Artist of the RSFSR Anatoly Romashin. Of course, Eugene grew up in a creative atmosphere and from childhood was in love with the theater. He was always very artistic, and no school performance was complete without his participation. After school, Stychkin entered VGIK, although he later admitted that then he did not take his choice seriously. Appetite came with eating - it was only in his student years that a real interest in the acting profession woke up in him.

At the age of 19, Evgeny Stychkin made his film debut. The beginning of his career fell on the crisis 1990s, and he did not have vivid, noticeable roles during this period. The first popularity came to him in the early 2000s. Since then, his film career has taken off, starting in 2003, 5-6 projects with his participation have been released annually, and Stychkin has become one of the most successful and sought-after modern actors.

At the age of 21, the actor first became a father. In 1995, his daughter Sonya was born, which became known only years later - Stychkin was not married to her mother, their relationship did not last long, and although he kept in touch with his daughter, she grew up in a different family. The first wife of the actor was the pianist Ekaterina Skanavi. Her mother, the famous film critic Nina Zarkhi, once advised her to go to a play with Stychkin's participation. The girl was fascinated at first sight. Soon they got married, and in this marriage two sons and a daughter were born.

When asked how the actor and the pianist decided to become parents with many children, Eugene laughed it off: “At the same time, both of them continued their creative activities and did not pause in tours and filming. Stychkin looked very happy and confessed: "".

Back in 2009, publications appeared in the press that Evgeny Stychkin began an office romance with actress Olga Sutulova. They met in 2007 on the set of the film "Leningrad". In the same year, the actors played the main roles in the film "The Contract for Love", on the set of which their romance began. Then Sutulova was called the main reason for the collapse of the actor's first marriage, but in fact, everything turned out to be not entirely true.

Then an angry wave of publications in the media fell on the actors - before that, Stychkin had a reputation as a respectable family man, a father with many children, who adored his wife and children. Olga Sutulova was immediately dubbed an unprincipled homeless woman who destroyed a happy family. But in fact, at that time, this family was actually gone. Ekaterina Skanavi was the first to speak about divorce, who met a new love - the famous German cellist Claudio Bohorkes, whom she later married.

Stychkin's mother said that his wife was the first to tell her husband that she had another man. Eugene tried to save the family, persuaded Catherine to postpone the divorce for the sake of the children, but she had already decided everything for herself. And after that, the actor began an affair with Olga Sutulova. Be that as it may, the spouses managed to avoid scandals and a public showdown. They parted on good terms and both made every effort to ensure that their divorce was not traumatic for the children.

Olga Sutulova never advertised their relationship and for all 5 years, while their romance lasted, kept silent to questions about her personal life. In 2012, the couple finally decided to get married. Stychkin told about their wedding in Greece only years later: "". Only the closest people were present at their wedding, so few knew that the actor married a second time. Stychkin and Sutulova continued to avoid publicity in their personal relationships.

They did not change their principles all this time - the actors never talked about family life. But on October 14, 2020, Evgeny Stychkin could not hide his happiness and shared the good news on social networks that he became a father for the fifth time. For 40-year-old Olga Sutulova, their child became the firstborn. The actor recorded a video in which he expressed his emotions using an excerpt from "Letter to Russia" by V. Nabokov: "".

Stychkin's second marriage became truly happy. Olga managed to find a common language with his children from his first marriage, because, according to her, "Stychkin children are ideal." They inherited the talents of their parents: the eldest son Alexei and daughter Alexandra are involved in music and are making great strides on stage. Stychkin managed to maintain good relations with his ex-wife and her current husband. In a word, the “contract for love”, signed back in 2007, turned out to be surprisingly strong for acting unions and, contrary to popular belief, destroying Yevgeny Stychkin's first marriage, did not destroy anyone's destinies. The actor says: ""

This cinematic image of Evgeny Stychkin became one of the brightest in his filmography: Which of the actors was the most convincing in the role of Lenin.
