It is difficult to imagine two more dissimilar people. He is a huge giant with a rather frightening expression on his face, and she is a fragile, pretty, very smiling brunette. Nikolai and Galina Valuevs have been together for over 15 years, they are raising three children and consider themselves an ideal couple.

Chance meeting

They met in 1999, at a mutual friend's birthday party. Galina came with a friend and did not pay any attention to the Nikolai presented by him. In general, the future star boxer also did not experience an attack of love at first sight. Although a charming girl, showing politeness, strictly monitored the presence of food on his plate.

And then she offered to give him a ride home. On the way, they managed to discuss the topic of past relationships. Just at this time, Nikolai broke up with his ex-girlfriend, and Galina broke up with her boyfriend. The new acquaintance nevertheless decided to take the girl's phone number, promising to call the next day. True, he remembered the promise in two days.

And I was simply stunned when I heard in the telephone receiver not joy that they heard him, but deep indignation. Galina scolded him like a boy because he did not keep his promise. However, it was this rebuke that became the reason for their next meeting. Kolya was surprised and interested, because no one talked to him like that.

The first meeting was followed by a second, then a third. And dating began on a schedule, twice a week. Nikolai, who trained intensively at the time, simply could not afford more frequent meetings.

Love will come unwittingly

Nikolai was never inclined to particular romance. He gave the first flowers to Galina when she collected and exhibited his things. He had the imprudence in one of the interviews to say that he has many girls. This was a demand from his promoter, but his beloved was very offended by such a statement. Since then, if a giant comes home with flowers, then the question invariably arises of what he was guilty of this time.

The boxer also made the offer not to Galina herself, but to her father, in the bathhouse. Kolya simply asked if he would give his daughter for him. Naturally, the dad agreed, and the bride herself was simply presented with a fact.

The wedding also took place somewhere between training and competition. A fragile bride and a huge groom next to her.

Ordinary happiness

How terrible and formidable Nikolai Valuev was always in the ring, he is so gentle and caring in the family. Big and formidable "The Beast from the East", as sports commentators called it, crossing the threshold of his own home became restrained, cozy and warm. He takes very touching care of his wife. Only she doesn't allow him to give gifts. After he gave her five pairs of completely unthinkable shoes without a heel, which he sincerely considered fashionable and beautiful. And his petite wife at that time wore extremely elegant and trendy high-heeled shoes. She attached her husband's gift to her friends, but now they always choose gifts together.

In 2002, the firstborn, little Grisha, was born in the Valuev family. The boxer at that time was going through very difficult times, being on the verge of depression. He did not have the opportunity to perform and, accordingly, earn money. He spent a lot of time with his newborn son, helping Galina around. He looked after the baby, carefully holding the tiny Grisha in his huge arms.

The black streak passed, Valuev became more and more popular and in demand, the family managed to pay off all its debts. They recognized him on the streets, asked for an autograph. And he dreamed of escaping as soon as possible to his little cozy world, where his beloved wife and their firstborn were waiting for him.

Flowers of life

He was happy, this big man. He had a beloved woman who considered and considers him the best man on earth. For her, he is the most beautiful, the smartest, the most important.

In 2007, Nikolai Valuev became a dad for the second time, he and Galina had a charming princess Irishka. She melted his heart at first sight. This tiny girl with a serious look, like a mother's, filled his heart with aching tenderness.

In 2012, Nikolai and Galina had a third child, a son, Sergei. Happiness and pride overwhelm the hearts of the spouses. Nikolai, who had always dreamed of three heirs, finally saw his dream come true.

Home is where your heart is

They have been living together for almost 17 years. They are still in love with each other, big Nikolai and little Galina. They have a classic family in which the husband takes care of the financial well-being of the family, and the wife protects the hearth. She always remains his reliable rear. Only next to her can he relax and be himself. An emotional and active wife completely complements her restrained phlegmatic spouse. Galina gladly gives all her time to her family, not counting at all that she sacrifices herself. She likes to be the keeper of their warm world, their corner of peace and happy peace.

And Nikolai bakes pancakes for his beloved, because in their family it is exclusively a man's duty. He still does not get tired of thanking God for giving him the most important thing in life: a beloved woman, wonderful children and the opportunity to do what he loves.

Nikolai turned out to be a surprisingly gentle dad. He enjoys playing with his children. The older one certainly accompanies the father on fishing or hunting, the daughter already at the age of 7 starred in films with her father, and they all take care of the younger one. Galina helps her husband in everything, she knows for sure that he will always protect her with her children from any hardships and bad weather. This fragile and sweet woman is very weak, but incredibly strong. No matter how difficult it was for her, she always supported her giant. She knew exactly when he needed her words of encouragement, and when he just needed to come up and quietly stand beside him.

They do not consider it necessary to feel nostalgic for the past, remembering first dates, first kisses. They stand firmly on their feet, live in the present and look to the future.
