Three marriages of Yuri Antonov

You'd think there'd be a problem rich and famous? That's the lot of "ordinary mortals". But no, as practice shows. fame and fortune can only brighten up life for a while. And then a person who already has a house, a car and so on stops feeling anything from his riches, notoriety, love of admirers... He just wants the usual things marital happiness. However, not everyone is destined for it. Despite having had many affairs with all sorts of beautiful women in his youth, at the age of 78. Yuri Antonov - The legendary Russian composer and performer is extremely lonely... Although he tries to keep "chipper", as they say.

Sometimes it is said about a man - as if in jest, but this joke fully describes his situation better than other words: "He's cursed.". In Antonov's case, it was as if a "curse" hovered over him all his life: thrice was married, and all the wives had travelled to different countries, leaving the husband alone....

Today, the artiste surrounded himself with a variety of animals in his country house. As he himself admits - a family, perhaps, would be desirable. But...

"Family must be real! A wife is a person who loves you with all her heart, who will always support you and will not abandon you. When there is cosiness, harmony in the house, real warmth coming from the soul. That's what a real family is. And a wife who will blow your brains out from morning to evening, who will constantly scandalise and seek only profit in your marriage - this is not a wife, but a fiction... And the poor children who will have to grow up in such a "family"".

So how did it happen that in his old age Yuri Mikhailovich was left alone, surrounded by squirrels and cats? We offer to find out together.

"Travelling wives", or dreams of abroad.

In his youth, Antonov enjoyed the attention of the fair sex. The composer once confessed to journalists that he had romances "enough.". But Antonov was only married thricebut all three marriages failed... His first choice was... AnastasiaThe musician met her when he was already on the wave of fame. According to Yuri Mikhailovich's own confession, there was indeed love in the relationship, but Anastasia turned out to be "a free soul." - she was bored living in the USSR. When his first wife said that she wanted to live in the USA, Antonov seriously considered flying with her. However, after a conversation with his father, he changed his mind:

"When my father found out that I was already preparing the documents, he almost shed a tear. The news made him bitter. And I'm a patriot myself - I've always loved my country. It's my native country... So I gave up on America.

But Anastasia was not kept in her home country even by her husband - apparently her love for the States was stronger. She flew away, and soon their marriage disintegrated. It is understandable - in America Anastasia began to establish her life, while at home, in the USSR, Yuri had his own life. At that time, he was young, so the second marriage did not take long. His second wife was Miroslava Bobanovica citizen of Yugoslavia. Once again, an international obstacle! As much as Antonov did not want to leave his homeland, Miroslava did not want to leave hers.

They met quite by chance, in Moscow, but fell in love immediately. Antonov's love was so strong that, despite the entreaties of his relatives, he even moved in with his wife for a time to Yugoslavia! However, he only lasted a few months: he couldn't, he missed his home and family. For some time he still travelled to Miroslava, but eventually he got tired and their union broke up. Enough young people, by the way, on the several years! And yet love at a distance is not an easy thing, and not everyone can protect and support it.

The third marriage also turned out to be a failure. AnnaAntonov's third wife dreamed of Paris. She eventually went to France, leaving her husband behind in the USSR. She took her daughter with her Ludmila. Despite the fact that Yuri prefers not to advertise his personal life, it is known that he also has a son - but who his mother is remains a mystery. According to the composer himself, he practically does not communicate with his daughter - if only occasionally via the Internet. But he and his son see each other often: Michael lives in Moscow, and doesn't forget his "old man". But, of course, he also has his own private life, so they see each other whenever possible.

"No friend is better than an animal."

Soon Antonov will be 80 years old! However, despite his fame and fortune, the musician is very lonely. Lives in his spacious mansion near Moscow, surrounding himself with the most loyal friends - . animals. Yuri Mikhailovich has many cats and cats, squirrels, geese and birds. He himself says that animals are best friendswho don't expect anything from you. They just pay love for love. That's all.

According to those close to Yuri, the composer, of course, want to have a family. And the children and the wife. So that the house would be full of life! But Antonov himself tries to avoid this topic, saying:

"Starting a family is not as easy as it may seem. The wife must be the keeper of the hearth and the husband the provider. If someone changes their position, there's no way to avoid a scandal. And what's next? Fighting and bickering day in and day out. That's where love ends... And now I'm at an age when it's difficult, almost impossible, to find the one. And it's wrong to start a family without love. It's already a fake family, just for appearances sake...".

Well, Antonov's right about that. It's better, of course, not to start any relationship without feelings. And as for loneliness - the maestro states:

"The devil is not as bad as it is painted. The main thing is to be in harmony with yourself, to be able to enjoy life and look at it in a positive way!
