Alexey Guskov and Lydia Velezheva, Dmitry Pevtsov and Olga Drozdova: remembering couples adored by the audience.
Alexey Guskov and Lidia Velezheva
They have been together for over 30 years. We met by chance, on the steps of the theater, and then ended up together at the same rehearsal.
Lydia became the second wife of Alexei Guskov. Over the years of their relationship, they have never been caught in scandals or betrayals and were considered an ideal, successful couple. But everything happened in life: both crises and lack of demand. Aleksey and Lydia lived in a communal apartment, there was not enough money, but they always tried to maintain interest and respect for each other.
Now the couple continue to act in films, work in the theater, both have many wonderful roles behind them. They do not often appear together on the screen, but recently played in the comedy film "The Eternal Life of Alexander Khristoforov." Sons Vladimir and Dmitry have already grown up and followed in the footsteps of their parents: one became an actor, the second was educated as a producer. Guskov and Velezheva are already raising their first granddaughter.

Dmitry Pevtsov and Olga Drozdova
The couple have been together for over 20 years and have a son. And they met once on the set of the film "A Walk on the Scaffold" in 1991. The actors could not even switch to “you” for a long time and got to know each other slowly and carefully.
It wasn't love at first sight, but by the time filming was over, both of them missed each other. According to Dmitry, he realized that if he missed Olga, he would make an irreparable mistake. They began to live together, and got married two years later. Friends jokingly call a beautiful couple Song Thrushes. For a long time, the couple did not have children, so when Olga managed to get pregnant at the age of 41 and the couple had a son, Elisha, it became a real gift of fate.
Several years ago, Olga Drozdova and Dmitry Pevtsov surprised fans by announcing the addition to the family. The artists call Alena Derkach, a student of their own theater studio, their adopted daughter and are engaged in raising her.
Valery Nikolaev and Irina Apeksimova
In the 1990s. Valery and Irina were sex symbols of Russian cinema. They met while studying at the Moscow Art Theater School, got married, and after graduating from the studio, both were accepted into the Moscow Art Theater troupe. In 1994, the couple had a daughter, Daria. The famous series of the 90s “Birthday of the Bourgeois”, where the spouses played a married couple, became a high point for both actors, brought unprecedented fame, but at the same time destroyed the relationship. The actors lived together for 12 years, and in 2000 the marriage broke up.
There were various rumors about the reasons for the divorce, the separation was so difficult that Irina did not want to continue filming, and the creators had to "kill" the heroine of "Bourgeois" in the second season of the series. After her divorce from Nikolaev and leaving the Moscow Art Theater, Irina Apeksimova created her own theater company, Bal-Ast. From 2012 to 2015 the actress served as director of the Roman Viktyuk Theater, and then became the director of the Taganka Theater. Irina got married 2 more times, but both marriages fell apart.
After the divorce from Apeksimova, Valery was married several more times. Recently, the actor has not acted anywhere. Their daughter Daria graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School and became an actress. True, she took the name of her grandmother - Avratinskaya.
Igor Bochkin and Anna Legchilova
In the 90s, most actors had downtime due to the lack of roles, but for Bochkin these years turned out to be “golden” - the audience adored him and there was no end to the fans. Novels on the set have always been Igor's weakness, so it is not surprising that at the play "Travelers in the Night" Igor became interested in Anna Legchilova, who in 2002 became his fourth wife.
The couple have been together for over 16 years. Until recently, they were considered a childless couple, but a few years ago, Anna surprised the subscribers of her microblog by telling that a long-awaited son appeared in their family, whose birth they hid even from friends.
