In the 1990s. Irina Apeksimova and Valery Nikolaev were called one of the most beautiful and strong acting couples in Russian cinema. They were a family both in real life and on the screens - in the TV series "Birthday of the Bourgeois". But the shooting became for them both fateful and fatal at the same time - this film brought them incredible popularity, but destroyed their relationship.
They met while studying at the Moscow Art Theater School. Irina managed to enter there only on the 3rd attempt - from the age of 13 she lived in Odessa and for a long time could not get rid of the specific local dialect, which is why she was not admitted to the university. But in 1986, Apeksimova finally managed to enter, while she got on the course of Oleg Tabakov, where Vladimir Mashkov, Yevgeny Mironov and Valery Nikolaev studied. His first wife was classmate Natalya Pirogova. And in 1987, their relationship began with Apeksimova, and soon they signed. Upon graduation in 1990, both spouses were accepted into the troupe of the Moscow Art Theater. In 1994, the couple had a daughter, Daria.
The couple has appeared on the screens together more than once. So, in an episode of the film "Shirley-Myrli", they both famously danced tap-dancing, and in one of the first domestic TV series "Little Things in Life" they played the roles of the spouses Katya and Gosha. But the most famous of their joint work was the series "Birthday of the Bourgeois", where they again played a married couple. However, during the filming, a crisis broke out in their relationship, and in 2000 their marriage broke up.
At that time, there were rumors that the reason for the separation of one of the most beautiful couples in Russian cinema was Nikolayev's romance with his filming partner Daria Poverennova. For a long time, none of them commented on this information, but after years Poverennova admitted that they really had a relationship for 2 years. True, she claims that at that time Nikolaev had already parted with Apeksimova, only had not yet formalized the divorce. Be that as it may, the parting was so difficult that Irina did not want to continue filming with her ex-husband, so in the second season of the series “Bourgeois's Birthday” the scriptwriters had to “kill” her heroine.
According to Apeksimova, a crack in their relationship had appeared even before filming in "Bourgeois" - Nikolaev dreamed of acting in Hollywood, and she herself wanted to pursue a theatrical career at home. "", - said Irina Apeksimova. After their parting, news periodically appeared in the press that they were together again - every time the two of them appeared in public, they were immediately credited with an affair, but the couple simply managed to maintain friendly relations, primarily for the sake of their daughter.
Valery Nikolaev, after "Bourgeois" for some time continued to act in films and serials, and then released 2 films as a director. In the last 3 years, new films with his participation have not appeared. The actor was married several more times, at the moment his wife is the circus artist Elmira Zemskova.
After a divorce from Nikolayev and leaving the Moscow Art Theater in 2000, Irina Apeksimova created her own theater company "Bal-Ast", later named after her. Together with Roman Viktyuk, they prepared several entreprise, where Irina played the main roles. In addition to the acting profession, Apeksimova tried her hand at being a singer, TV presenter, producer and director. In 2012-2015. the actress served as director of the Roman Viktyuk Theater, and then became the director of the Taganka Theater. She married 2 more times, the first marriage broke up after 6 years, the second - after 3 years.
Despite the fact that the main role in the TV series "Birthday of the Bourgeois" brought Apeksimova immense popularity, she never considered her to be her creative achievement. The fact is that after that, the role of a vamp woman and a business woman was fixed for her, and the directors offered her many roles of the same type. The actress says: ""
The daughter of Valery Nikolaev and Irina Apeksimova followed in the footsteps of her parents - she also graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School and also became an actress. True, she is filming under a different name - like her grandmother, she became Avratinskaya. Apeksimova explains this decision as follows: "".
During the time that has passed since filming in the series, the fate of other actors has changed dramatically: "Bourgeois birthday" 20 years later.
