They were called the most beautiful couple of modern Russian cinema. The romance of Pavel Priluchny and Agatha Muceniece began on the set in 2010, a year later they got married, the couple had two children. The actors stayed together for 10 years, but in February they announced the divorce. Many of their fans still do not want to believe that their union has broken up, because they looked like the perfect couple …

They might not have met if Agatha had not decided one day to abruptly change her fate and abandon the path she chose. Her artistic abilities manifested itself in her childhood, during her school years she studied in a theater studio and participated in all concerts and amateur competitions, but then she did not seriously think about the acting profession. A classmate Muceniece became a model and advised her to also try herself in this field of activity. Agata sent an application and a portfolio to a fashion agency in Riga, where she was born and raised. Soon she received an invitation to come to the casting, which she easily went through.

Her modeling career was quite successful, she starred in commercials in Riga, and soon she was invited to work in Milan. After graduating from school, Agatha signed a contract and left for Italy. The girl has traveled all over Europe, participating in shows of world famous brands and acting for glossy magazines. For some time she lived in Germany, and after returning to Latvia she entered the university at the Faculty of Philology. But a year later, Muceniece realized that she had chosen the wrong path, dropped out of school and went to Moscow to enter a theater university. For many of her acquaintances and friends, this step turned out to be absolutely incomprehensible and unexpected, but she decided not to deviate from her plan.

Agatha managed to enter VGIK from the first time, on the course of Alexander Mikhailov. While still a student, she began performing on the theatrical stage and acting in films. At the age of 21, Muceniece first appeared on the set, making her debut in the TV series "Trace". A year later, she was offered the first major role in the series "Closed School", which radically changed not only the creative destiny, but also the personal life of the actress.

As planned by the producers, the role of Dasha Starkova was originally supposed to go to Marina Petrenko, but the actress's schedule did not have free space for filming, and Agatha Muceniece was invited instead. For the sake of this role, she dyed from a brunette to a blonde, however, later returned to her natural hair color. "Closed School" not only became her first successful project and brought wide popularity, but also presented a meeting with Pavel Priluchny, with whom they portrayed a couple in love on the screens.

By that time, Pavel Priluchny had graduated from the Novosibirsk State Theater School, played several roles on the stage of the Globus Academic Youth Theater in Novosibirsk, and in the year they met, he completed his studies at RATI-GITIS. His path to the cinema was also just beginning, and until the "Closed School" his name was not known to most viewers. But they talked about his personal life even then - Priluchny had affairs with the star of "Twilight" Nikki Reed and actress Renata Piotrowski.

At the time of their acquaintance, Agatha was not free - since her student years, she met with dancer Artem Alekseev. But Priluchny immediately went on the attack, which he later told about: "".

Summer 2011Pavel Priluchny and Agata Muceniece secretly got married, inviting only the closest friends and relatives to the wedding. After 2 years, they had a son, Timothy, and after 3 more, a daughter, Mia. Outwardly, they looked like an ideal couple, but serious passions were always simmering in their family. 5 years ago in one of the interviews Agatha admitted: "". The symbol of the beginning of a new stage in their life was the move to a large country house, where for some time harmony reigned in the family.

Priluchny tried to surprise his wife and arrange surprises for her. Once she flew to the shooting in Minsk, and after 2 days, without warning Agatha, he flew to her with flowers. The actor said: "".

Both spouses were distinguished by their tough disposition and irascibility. They never learned to yield to each other and stop in time during conflicts. Almost after each of their quarrels, reports of their divorce appeared in the press, but the actors always put up as violently as they quarreled. They tried to disperse and live separately, but this experiment lasted only a week - for a long time they could not do without each other. Therefore, after the next news of their separation, no one believed this news. But this time it really ended with an official divorce.

At the end of February 2020, Priluchny and Muceniece simultaneously published an appeal to their fans on social networks, where they admitted that they were getting divorced. Priluchny wrote: "".

None of the spouses spoke about the reasons for the divorce, they asked journalists in advance not to ask them questions on this topic. In only one interview, Agatha said that the reason was not her, and that she still loves her husband and considers him the dearest person. But divorce seems to her the only way out, if only because children should not become witnesses of their constant quarrels.

In the acting environment, such partings are very rare: they do not make scandals in public, do not wash dirty linen in public, do not throw mud at each other and do not make a show out of their divorce. The couple managed to maintain a warm relationship and did not say a single bad word about each other. A beautiful story has remained beautiful …

Agata Muceniece is not the only actress who came to the set from the catwalk: 5 Russian actresses who started out as models.
