A relative of the actress spoke about the relationship between the former spouses.
Even though Evgeny Tsyganov and Irina Leonova were not officially married, the message that the popular actor left the family and left his beloved, pregnant with her seventh child, caused a wide resonance in the press. The media vied with each other to discuss the reasons for Tsyganov’s controversial act, but Leonova preferred to refrain from commenting. The artist’s brother intervened in the situation and for the first time clarified what was happening in the family.

Her family did not leave her. Even though we live in different countries, we try to support. That year I came to visit - babysat my nephews and brought gifts. Parents visit Moscow and spend time with their grandchildren. Our mom and dad, of course, turned their backs on Tsyganov at first. But sometimes you have to communicate, he’s the father of the children,” the man tells StarHit.

The actress's theater colleagues complain that Irina is already on stage. It is very difficult for her to be torn between work and children, but Leonova does everything possible to feed seven kids.
“Ira plunged headlong into the material. Sometimes people stay here until late at night. Of course, the money we receive is small, but it’s all some kind of help. Tsyganov helps her financially, but he is not an oligarch himself,” the source comments.
Russia's largest actor works hard to provide for two families
Russia's most numerous actor works extremely hard to provide for two families.
Photo: PhotoXPress.ru Evgeny Tsyganov is one of the most sought-after serial actors in the country. The series “” with his participation has just ended. Several more films will be released soon. The actor has just finished filming in Pskov, and will star in two more films in the fall. He manages to play in the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop theater and plans to stage a play there as a theater director. Despite the crisis, Tsyganov has a job. And he can still afford to refuse offers to host a corporate event or star in a commercial. The actor's agent assured us that even six-figure fees would not force Tsyganov to change his principles.
The TV program magazine found out how the 37-year-old father of eight children: former and current. Let us remember that a year ago Irina Leonova, who was pregnant with her 7th child. At the same time, in the summer of 2015, another actress, Yulia Snigir, learned about pregnancy from Tsyganov. The father of many children went to her.

Evgeny left 38-year-old Irina Leonova for 33-year-old Yulia Snigir. Photo: kinopoisk.ru Evgeny Tsyganov once admitted that at the age of 14 he understood: strangers cannot give correct assessments of a person’s actions - everyone only understands for themselves how best to live and act. Tsyganov made the decision to leave his common-law wife soon after he learned about Yulia Snigir’s pregnancy. Apparently, love turned out to be stronger than fatherly feelings. Last year showed that even in such a seemingly hopeless situation, a compromise can be found.
The actor’s former common-law wife remained to live in their apartment on Leninsky Prospekt. Irina manages to manage the children: they are always clean and neatly dressed, attend clubs and sections. Tsyganov’s parents help as much as possible in raising their grandchildren. Now actress Irina Leonova is preparing children for September 1, visiting school bazaars. The children's father transfers money for purchases to the card. Tsyganov and Leonova are growing up: 11-year-old Polina, 10-year-old Nikita, 7-year-old Andrei, 6-year-old Sofia, 5-year-old Sasha, 2-year-old Georgy and Vera, who will turn one year old in September.
“My parents and I are visiting Ira and my nephews,” Vladimir. “All her time is occupied with children and rehearsals at the theater.” Leonova’s relatives live in Tallinn, so they don’t come often. Evgeniy pays for the nanny and necessary expenses. The family is not luxurious, but it doesn’t need it either. If the actor is not busy filming, then on his days off he takes the children for a walk. As the Leonovs' neighbors told us, Evgeny gives the impression of a caring father: he never comes empty-handed (he enters the entrance with bags of gifts and toys), the children are happy to see him and literally never leave their father's side.
Before breaking up with Irina, Evgeniy said that his children have an amazing mother, and nannies appear in the family from time to time. He complained that because of him, Leonova traded her career for motherhood. Their romance began on the set of the film “Children of the Arbat”. Because of Tsyganov, Leonova divorced actor Igor Petrenko. 12 years later, Evgeniy had a new office romance.
New family

Fedya will turn six months old on September 9, but he is already actively traveling with his mother around Russia. The actress accompanies her beloved man on the set. In Pskov, work on the 10-episode historical film “Sofia” is being completed, in which Tsyganov plays Ivan III. During the day he was busy on the set, and in the evening the family went for walks. Julia, like a wise woman, tries not to leave Evgeni alone for a long time. Perhaps she’s bored, or maybe because she knows his temperament. After all, Tsyganov himself described himself in one interview as “a goofball” and shared his thoughts about his attractiveness to the opposite sex: “...We all want to love and be loved. You are a man, so in theory you should be attracted to women. There is still the concept of temptation...”

They came from Tula region and rent an apartment in the capital to help their daughter with the baby when she is busy filming. Friends of the 33-year-old actress say that she is happy, and Evgeniy willingly babysits the baby in free time. Everyone hopes that Tsyganov’s throwing is behind him and he has finally made up his mind.
Irina Leonova is forced to agree to any part-time job
To feed seven children, Irina Leonova is forced to agree to any part-time job
For a whole year, fans of Evgeny TSYGANOV have been closely following not only his work, but also his personal life. Family drama, developing in full view of the whole country, worse than any soap opera. The popular actor left common-law wife Irina LEONOVA with seven children for the sake of Yulia SNIGIR, who in March of this year gave the “Thaw” star another child. It would seem that in this whole story the devil himself would break his leg, but we tried to figure out how the abandoned Tsyganov family still survives.
Life in a four-room apartment on Leninsky Prospekt, which Tsyganov shortly before leaving the family, I bought it with the assistance of my native Fomenko Theater, which is seething around the clock.
Day Irina Leonova starts at five in the morning: she gets up first to prepare breakfast for the children, and then takes them to school and kindergarten. The youngest - two year old son We have to take Georgiy and our one-year-old daughter Varechka with us: there is simply no one to leave them with.
At lunchtime, when the older children return home, mother of many children leaves for work (most recently Leonova returned to the Maly Theater, from where she went on maternity leave for 12 years). Artistic director Yuri Solomin nobly supported the actress and gave her one of the main roles in the play “King Lear.” True, until the production is released, Irina is forced to sit on a “bare” salary - this is about 50 thousand rubles a month. Agree, for a horde of children - it’s not enough. Of course, the “heroine mother” also receives help from the state - six and a half thousand (allowance for caring for two children under three years old) plus 750 rubles in compensation for each child. Total - a little more than 18 thousand.
Of course, Leonova is entitled to other payments. For example, five thousand rubles for the purchase of school clothes or 900 rubles for the purchase of children's goods. As well as free travel on public transport, meals for children at school and kindergarten. In addition, she can receive some medications free of charge. But it is impossible to take advantage of everything without visiting the authorities where you need to collect all the necessary certificates. And this also takes a lot of time.
“Irochka counts every penny,” Leonova’s neighbor Lyudmila Pavlovna told us. - She buys groceries from an economy-class store and mainly on special offers. He doesn’t go to beauty salons and doesn’t spoil himself with outfits. Children wear out each other’s clothes; I have never seen them have expensive toys. When Ira’s husband left, it was scary to look at her - she constantly walked around with tear-stained eyes. And now, as I returned to the theater, I walked away a little, and perked up. Now she also takes part-time work - tutoring, and the other day she returned very late from some literary readings.
According to the neighbor, Irina still continues to love Tsyganov, despite his vile betrayal with Yulia Snigir.
I think that’s why she doesn’t complain about him much, although it’s unlikely that he helps her very much. I saw Zhenya here at most five times in all the time. His parents even come there more often - in the summer they take the children to their dacha. I once asked Tsyganov’s mother if they were babysitting their eighth grandson, Snigir’s son, but she replied that other grandparents, Yulia’s parents, were looking after him.
Close friends of the once happy married couple They are also perplexed: how did it happen that the sought-after Tsyganov (the actor is currently starring in several projects at once, plays in the theater, and in addition also performs in nightclubs with his group “Pokka Pret”), whose fee is about 200 thousand per day of filming, left his ex-wife and seven children without significant support?

It is also surprising that his beloved Yulia Snigir was forced to go to work almost immediately after giving birth - there was no time, they say, to sit on maternity leave.
Yulia pays for a rented apartment for her mother, who left her job and moved to Moscow to look after little Fedya,” friend Snigir shared with us. - Plus the child needs a lot of things. Fortunately, the apartment in which Yulia lives with Zhenya is fully paid for by Tsyganov. They have separate budgets, so no one knows what he spends his money on. Maybe he’s investing in his own group, or saving up for something.
His debts are heavy
Tsyganov has been banned from traveling abroad for a year now because he cannot pay off his debts to the state. On the bailiffs website, the actor has 13 fines (mostly for violating the rules traffic) for a total amount of about 27 thousand rubles.
Three years ago, the act of Evgeny Tsyganov divided his fans into two camps. Some condemned the actor, who left his wife pregnant with their seventh child, while others sympathized with him - they said, how tired he was of the tense situation in the house. Tsyganov remained silent, only once speaking sharply to journalists: “Who cares about my children?” All his life he protected his personal from prying eyes, trying to interest people primarily in his creativity. The roles of actor Tsyganov are truly impressive. But his personal life is no less.
Artist since childhood
To his late child- son Zhenya - his parents gave him freedom of self-determination. This is how an actor appeared in the family of techies - Evgeny Tsyganov. He played his first roles as a child at the Taganka Theater. There he was highly praised and predicted a successful acting career. But Evgeniy did not immediately become an actor - he first created his own music group, even recorded an album, and only after that began to play seriously. After graduating from the directing department of the Russian Academy of Theater Arts, Pyotr Fomenko accepted Tsyganov into his “Workshop”, and then personally insisted that Evgeniy go to the movies. The mentor was not mistaken: resounding success awaited Tsyganov on the screen. From 2002 to 2009, he starred in fourteen films, among which were “Walk” by Alexei Uchitel, his “Space as a Premonition”, the lyrical “Peter FM” and many other notable films.Filming in the series “Children of the Arbat” became special for Tsyganov - on it he met Irina Leonova.
Civil marriage, but with many children
The prominent and charismatic Tsyganov had affairs before. The longest relationship was with Olga Stashkevich. A beauty, 10 centimeters taller than Evgeniy, she was sure that everything was serious with them - until she found out about office romance actor.
Natural beauty Irina Leonova could not be spoiled even by the terrible sweatshirts and scarves that she wore for the role. Tsyganov fell in love, she reciprocated - and left Igor Petrenko. Their relationship by that time was going downhill: Irina was worried about their lack of children. Tsyganov helped her fill this gap fully. “Zhenya and I both wanted from the very beginning large family. It was a mutual desire. “We dreamed of living together until old age,” she will say later. The implementation of the plan began immediately. Polina was born in 2005, her brother Nikita was born in 2006, then Andrei, Sofia, Alexander and Georgy. All the children bore the surname Tsyganov, although he and Irina never officially got married.
Leonova stopped acting and acting in the theater, the roles in the family were clearly distributed: she is engaged in raising children, Evgeniy is engaged in creativity and making money. “What do we know about education? I don’t remember who said it: “I studied by a ray of light from my father’s office.” I saw how he worked, that’s all his education was. I would like to sort myself out, and the children will somehow educate themselves,” Tsyganov said in an interview. When it became known in 2015 that Irina was expecting her seventh child, he responded to congratulations with restraint. It turned out that an office romance happened again in the actor’s life.
Drama
The series “Where the Motherland Begins” was released in 2014. Charming Yulia Snigir shone in the same frame with Tsyganov. Commenting on rumors about his departure from the family, the actor completely confused everyone: “What are you worried about? Yulia Peresild? Good girl. Snigir too. I'm ok". After this, the public could not decide for a long time which of the two Yulia became the homewrecker. It turned out - Snigir. When Tsyganov’s betrayal was confirmed, society began to buzz: how will Irina Leonova raise seven children alone? But there were also defenders of the actor. “It can be hard for my wife. Pregnant wife, six children, work. He comes home - everyone there needs something. Zhenya couldn’t stand it and left,” explained his friend and colleague, actor Thomas Mockus. The main characters of the drama - Leonova and Tsyganov - remained silent. Irina allowed herself only one comment - when it became known that Yulia Snigir was also expecting a child. “He let me down. Having seven children, having another one on the side is absolute irresponsibility,” said Irina. Their youngest daughter Vera was born when her father was already living with another family. Leonova quickly went to work at the Maly Theater. The roar of condemnation of Tsyganov’s act gradually subsided.
Now
Three years later, the lives of all the heroes of this story gradually returned to their rut. Irina Leonova works in the theater, raises children, hosts financial assistance ex-husband and allows him to communicate with children. Yulia Snigir enjoys motherhood: the actress calls her son Fyodor “the center of her Universe.” And Evgeny Tsyganov continues to play talentedly in cinema and theater, insisting that this is all that should interest his viewer.
He refused to comment and nervously accepted congratulations after. It turns out that difficulties have long arisen in their relationship with his wife Irina Leonova. Numerous conversations that on the eve of the birth of his daughter Verochka the actor moved from his family to another apartment, alas, were not born out of nowhere. Colleagues of 36-year-old Tsyganov confirm that he has been living with 32-year-old actress Yulia Snigir for several months.
This summer, while Irina Leonova, her husband. Tsyganov visited the film festivals “Window to Europe” in Vyborg and “In Short” in Kaliningrad. On one of these trips, the actor himself let slip about the changes in his personal life, and this sensational news began to acquire details like a snowball.
When Evgeniy returned to Moscow from Kaliningrad, his relationship with Yulia Peresild was already being widely discussed in the capital. Tsyganov is really close friends with this actress and starred with her in the film “The Battle of Sevastopol.” But in the case of Peresild, the effect of a damaged phone worked. Hearing the name Yulia, someone in film circles immediately concluded that this love affair between the partners in “Battle” continued in real life... But Julia turned out to be completely different!
At some point, Evgeniy panicked. At the recent presentation of the fashion magazine “Person of the Year” award, posing in an embrace with the star of the film “Duhless”, the charming young actress Maria Andreeva. His passion adheres to similar tactics. So, I came to the Oktyabr cinema in the company of a friend, an actress. Agnie Ditkovskite. However, while communicating on the sidelines, she accepted greetings from mutual friends for her beloved.
Yulia Snigir is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful and talented actresses of her generation. Her common-law husband there was a famous cameraman Maxim Osadchy. They met Julia on the set of the film “Inhabited Island”. It was after this film that viewers remembered and fell in love with Snigir. Julia was truly magnificent in this film, but this is not surprising, because she was filmed by a man in love. After breaking up with Osadchy, the actress had an affair with Danila Kozlovsky. They dated for almost a year and broke up in early 2014.
Since then, Yulia Snigir has carefully protected her personal life from prying eyes, protecting herself from idle speculation. But everything secret sooner or later becomes clear. Especially in the world of cinema, where one carelessly dropped phrase is sometimes enough for the puzzle to form a clear picture.
