They are called a unique family, the first beauty of Russian cinema and her husband, a brutal handsome man. Only 15 years have passed since the day of their first meeting, and they managed not only to create a strong, happy family, but also to become the parents of four sons. Glafira Tarkhanova and Alexey Faddeev are very different, so the first year of their marriage was difficult for both. But they made a firm decision to go through life together, so they looked for compromises both in relation to the profession and in life together.

No coincidence meeting

By the time of their first meeting in 2005, Alexey Faddeev had gained fame as an inveterate bachelor, and Glafira Tarkhanova had already stopped waiting for her prince, deciding that the most important part of her life was her career.

At that time, the actress was only 22 years old, but she had already shone on the stage of the Satyricon theater for four years, managed to win the Moscow Debuts award for her work in the production of Lucrative Place and starred in several films.

She was almost always surrounded by fans, and therefore, almost from childhood, she dreamed of that very prince on a white horse whom she would love at first sight. And then Glafira Tarkhanova's illusions about the princes were dispelled, and she decided to pay more attention to her career. It was then that Alexei Faddeev appeared in her life.

Friends and acquaintances of the actor were convinced: Alexey is unlikely to ever decide to start a family. He was successful, handsome and charming, while still a student at the Shchepkinsky School, he began to appear on the stage of the Maly Theater, while always playing sharp and large roles. The successful theater actor was never deprived of the attention of girls, but he was not going to change his marital status at all. Exactly until filming began in the series "The Main Caliber", where a convinced bachelor first saw Glafira Tarkhanova.

Their first meeting was not something out of the ordinary. Alexey was already approved for the role and just played along with the girls who came to audition. Glafira turned out to be one of them, and the young people broke up immediately after the necessary material was filmed.

And on the first day of filming, they met again. Glafira and Aleksey sat on the bus and waited for a call to the site. They were not all invited, and the actors were carried away by the conversation and did not even notice how it got dark outside the window. Probably, it was then that the first sparks of sympathy flashed between them. Three months after they met, Alexey had already made a marriage proposal to Glafira. At the same time, the girl did not even think about taking time to think or just pulling with an answer. She just immediately agreed to become his wife.

The complexities of being

In October 2005, Alexey Faddeev and Glafira Tarkhanova became husband and wife. For the wedding, the actress was released from the filming of the film "Vices and Their Fans" from Kiev for only three days. And in general, the whole wedding of the actors turned out to be chaotic, but cheerful and happy, although there were only six people present, along with the bride and groom. Neither the cars ordered the day before (not the most successful, by the way), nor the upcoming imminent separation could ruin their holiday for the newlyweds. A little later they got married and then they already invited relatives to celebrate an important event in their lives with them.

The first year was difficult for the spouses in all respects. They had to get used to each other, change their habits and even their attitude to the profession. But they never had a question about parting. They were sure: a family must be built, it is necessary to invest their own efforts and time in it, to find compromises.

Glafira Tarkhanova while starring in the film "Lovers", after which she gave her word never and under no circumstances to agree to roles that involve the participation of the actress in bed scenes. Glafira admits that explicit scenes were the reason for her quarrels with her husband. The actress had to refuse from meetings with her former admirers. Before marriage, she could easily talk to one of the "ex" on the phone or chat over a cup of tea in a cafe. But peace in the family was much more important than maintaining warm relations with outsiders, in fact, men.

The spouses went step by step to understand what their ideal family should be and, it seems, they managed to build it.

When there is no time to be bored

Today Glafira Tarkhanova and Alexei Faddeev have 14 years of marriage behind them and four wonderful sons, whom they gave sonorous names: Roots, Ermolai, Gordey and Nikifor. Despite the busy work schedule, the actress tries to be less separated from her children. And Nikifor, at the age of two months, even went on tour with his mother.

Glafira Tarkhanova and Alexei Faddeev are still interested in being together. They are always comfortable in each other's company and both of them cannot be in a state of quarrel for a long time, which, of course, sometimes happen, like in any family. Together they make important decisions, but at the same time they leave behind each other the right to personal space, try not to interfere with the work of their soul mate and discuss some important points in their work.

They admit that four children require constant attention and the ability to resolve disputes and conflicts that arise from time to time. Glafira and Alexei teach them to find compromises in relationships, believing that it is easy and quick to separate the boys into different rooms, but teaching them to talk to each other requires much more time and effort, but it will be useful to them in their future adult life.

In 2020, the couple will celebrate the 15th anniversary of their married life. Over the years, they have never regretted the decision once made, and Glafira Tarkhanova is happy to admit that she was extraordinarily lucky to meet “her man”, who for many years has been her support and support in everything.

For the sake of creative realization, fame, success and recognition, actresses often sacrifice personal happiness, refusing to have children so as not to remain unclaimed. But there are exceptions to the rule - some stars of modern Russian cinema have managed to achieve success in the profession, but at the same time learn the happiness of motherhood. Today they are famous actresses, mothers of many children and simply beautiful women who know how to make their life harmonious.
