Mikhail Efremov has always attracted attention. As a child, he began acting in films and became one of the most popular child actors. In his youth, the actor worked hard and lived, as they say, to the fullest. Mikhail Efremov, incredibly talented and charming, has never suffered from lack of attention from the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. And for many years he himself seemed to be looking for the only one with whom he could stop playing his many roles.

Elena Golyanova

The first wife of Mikhail Efremov admits: she is still grateful to the actor for their joint trip to the registry office. While studying at the Moscow Art Theater School, she dreamed of exchanging an apartment in Gorky for housing in the capital, but for this she needed to marry a Muscovite. The fictitious marriage allowed her to get things done and was dissolved two months later.

Asya Vorobyova

This girl was the wife of a friend of actor Anton Tabakov. It was at his request that Mikhail Efremov accepted Asya Vorobyova into the newly created Sovremennik-2 theater studio as a literary editor. Efremov fell in love with a fragile, dreamy girl, and soon she decided to leave her eldest son Oleg Tabakov. The marriage of Asya Vorobyova and Mikhail Efremov did not last too long, but the couple had a wonderful son, Nikita.

The actor did not take part in raising his son, he always sincerely believed that a woman should take care of children, and a man's task was to work and provide for his family. With this duty, Efremov Jr. always coped well.

It is unlikely that Asya's life with a famous actor was happy. After all, soon after they began to live together, Mikhail Efremov got carried away again and threw all his strength into conquering his next woman.

Evgeniya Dobrovolskaya

Mikhail Efremov met a young actress with mutual friends and for two years sought her attention. Evgenia Dobrovolskaya held the defensive for a long time, but one day, when she came home, she found a man on the couch in her own apartment. Tired of endless refusals, he simply moved in with her things.

They began to live together, but in response to the marriage proposal, Evgenia Dobrovolskaya set a condition: Mikhail Efremov must get rid of his addiction to alcohol. The enamored actor immediately agreed, he sincerely wanted to find happiness. The wedding was loud and fun, guests were invited to take part in a 1960s themed celebration, and even the bride looked like a real representative of the hippie movement. Even before the wedding, they agreed that they would not cheat on each other as long as they live together.

The family life of the spouses was very happy at first. Mikhail actually stopped drinking, he worked hard, providing for his wife and children. Together they raised their common son Nikolai and Evgenia's child from their first marriage, Stepan. By the way, Efremov Jr. himself did not want a child, but Dobrovolskaya did not take his desire into account. Nikolai was very ill in the early years, having inherited congenital asthma from his father. Young parents did not sleep for almost two years until they found a good doctor.

Over time, the life of Mikhail Efremov and Evgenia Dobrovolskaya turned into a real boil of passions. Many years later, the actress admits: they lived very turbulently. Both emotional and quite explosive, they could turn every showdown into a scandal. It got to the point that stools flew around the apartment. After one of the quarrels, they ended up in the hospital. But all their emotions were real, coming from great love.

And then the couple just got tired of each other and decided to divorce six years after the birth of their son. Unlike living together, they divorced without hysterics and quarrels, honestly sharing everything that they managed to make during the years of marriage: Efremov received $ 100, and Evgenia took the Niva car for herself. And they were able to maintain good relations with each other.

Ksenia Kachalina

Ksenia Kachalina and Mikhail Efremov met in the late 1990s during the filming of the film “The Romanovs. Crowned family. By the time of their first meeting, the actress managed to survive a short romance with Ivan Okhlobystin and marry musician Alexei Paperny. True, the marriage never brought her happiness, and Xenia broke up with her husband already being pregnant.

Ksenia Kachalina and Mikhail Efremov quickly became close, and the actor touchingly took care of this beautiful and talented girl. He also helped her survive the loss of her baby, who was born premature and very weak. Soon, Mikhail made Xenia an offer, and in October 2000, their daughter, Anna Maria, was born.

This marriage lasted only four years, but it can hardly be called a happy one. Mikhail and Ksenia did not deny themselves pleasure, both loved to indulge in alcohol, and the talented actress began to pay attention to other men. After the divorce, Ksenia experienced a deep depression, her passion for alcohol grew into an addiction. Over time, the once bright and talented actress finally sank. In recent years, she has been living on the maintenance of Mikhail Efremov, she hardly sees her daughter, whom her father provides.

Sofia Kruglikova

Mikhail Efremov often met Sofya Kruglikova in a cafe at the Mayakovsky Theater. The sound engineer and actor often met there at lunchtime, and almost every meeting was accompanied by a playful ritual. Efremov asked a pretty girl if she would agree to marry him and, satisfied with her positive answer, went to his table. Sophia's marriage with a French citizen at that time remained as such only on paper, because they lived in different countries. Nevertheless, the girl tried to reason with Mikhail Efremov to return to her fourth wife, Ksenia Kachalina, because little Anna Maria was only two years old at that time. But Efremov did not see the future in those relations, and new feelings covered him headlong.

Soon Mikhail Efremov and Sofya Kruglikova became husband and wife, in 2005 their first daughter Vera was born, two years later - Nadezhda, and in 2010 - their son Boris. Sophia became almost an ideal wife for Mikhail. She tirelessly creates comfort in their common home and does not try to control her husband. Someone may think strange a relationship in which the wife constantly forgives her husband, diligently turns a blind eye to his periodic "spree" and hobbies, but Mikhail Efremov and Sofya Kruglikova do not even think about divorce. On the contrary, in 2016 they got married, being completely confident in the strength of their feelings.

After the fatal accident, the culprit of which was Mikhail Efremov, Sofya Kruglikova tried to explain the actor's condition by a difficult period in his life. He did not have time to recover from the death of his mother, who died a year ago, when he was overtaken by a new blow: Galina Volchek was gone. Mikhail Efremov began to drink very heavily, and his communication with his wife began to be limited to rare meetings. Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Sophia prefers to live in a country house with her children, and her husband spends more time in Moscow and lives in their capital apartment.

Sofya Kruglikova does not intend to leave her husband in trouble. On the contrary, she is ready to support him in every possible way, as befits a real loving wife.

Oleg Efremov, the father of Mikhail Efremov, was one of the most popular and sought-after Soviet actors, a teacher at the Moscow Art Theater School, organizer and artistic director of the Sovremennik Theater, the main director of the Moscow Art Theater and the founder of a great acting dynasty. In the Efremov family, except for Oleg Nikolaevich and Mikhail Olegovich, there are still many representatives who have left a noticeable mark in art, but are in the shadow of their famous relatives.
