Kovalchuk and Chumakov had a child. Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov: “God gives a child when people are ready for it

Today on the Internet, mainly in in social networks, one topic was raised: Yulia Kovalchuk gave birth! Indeed, this event is long-awaited and very pleasant not only for young parents, but also for all fans of the singer. Yulia Kovalchuk, together with her husband Alexei Chumakov, recently admitted that for several years they have had to listen to the fact that they still have not thought about procreation, because they have long been old enough to become parents. They said that they always had their own point of view, and even the opinions of their favorite fans did not interest them.

When to give birth or adopt a baby is a personal matter for each person, and outside opinions are not taken into account at all. Julia and her husband were always looking for the right moment to give birth to a child. Her pregnancy was caused by a great desire to be loved and loving parents, and not constant gossip and reproaches from fans. They did not want to live for someone, adapt to the wishes of other people, they did not listen to advice. And then came the exciting and long-lasting this moment— Yulia Kovalchuk gave birth to her first child in 2017. There is no official confirmation yet, but all fans are sincerely confident that Yulia wanted her last photo to make it clear to everyone that she has already become a happy mother.

Since the singer never advertised her relationship and, moreover, hid her pregnancy until the very end, no one knew about the exact date of her due date. Today there are a lot of comments online with the words: “Yulia Kovalchuk gave birth to a child.” Fans always watched the singer very carefully, wishing her in the comments a quick and less painful birth, as well as a healthy baby. Julia probably reads all this, but does not react in any way, which makes the fans even more panicky.

Today, Yulia Kovalchuk added a photo in white underwear, in which her belly is not visible. And then immediately comments poured in with congratulations for the singer. Julia wrote under the photo that she just loves trying on new underwear, and that this has nothing to do with childbirth. It is difficult to determine from the photo who Yulia Kovalchuk gave birth to and when. But all fans hope that soon the singer will post on her page stating that their assumptions were correct. Fans claim that they are incredibly happy for Yulia and Alexei, and want to believe that she really has already become a mother.

Some subscribers confidently declare that Julia gave birth to a girl. They justify their assumptions by the fact that at the time of pregnancy the singer changed her facial features and became even more tender and feminine. Also, experienced mothers could not help but notice the shape of the belly. She fully corresponded to the fact that Julia carries a charming daughter inside her. Journalists are not distracted from their work for a minute; they want to prove with facts that the fans’ assumptions were correct. All that remains is to wait for the photo to appear on Instagram of the singer with her child.

Pregnancy Kovalchuk

Yulia Kovalchuk never liked to talk about her personal life, she gladly devoted her fans to all working moments, shared her creativity, but always believed that her personal life concerned only her and her husband. That is why fans learned about Julia’s pregnancy shortly before the birth itself. Today you can see amazing news on the Internet - Yulia Kovalchuk gave birth to her first child. For some inactive fans, this news was truly shocking, because if you did not personally follow the lives of Kovalchuk and her husband, it would be difficult to find out about pregnancy.

Even from the first months of pregnancy, when the singer diligently hid her situation, she was sure that these 9 months would be the happiest, simplest and most memorable for her. Kovalchuk had wellness, and even went on stage until her position could be hidden under her outfits. Her cheerfulness, her husband’s love and her favorite business were enough to feel confident and not be afraid of complications and other problems.

The birth of her first child at 34 is considered late, but this fact did not bother the singer at all. She was confident that she and her husband would cope.

Julia always tried to hide her position under wide dresses; she did not show photos in which her stomach was visible to the naked eye. And for some time she managed to hide everything, if not for attentive and curious journalists. They added a photo from 2017 with a belly, where it is clear that Yulia Kovalchuk is pregnant.

There was no longer any point in hiding her situation, because journalists would still be able to expose the singer after going to social parties. Even in the fifth month, the singer confidently went on stage, but tried to hide her position behind wide pants and blouses. And it’s worth noting that she succeeded, because fans only recently found out about the pregnancy.

Rest Kovalchuk during pregnancy

Throughout her pregnancy, the singer rested and worked; she felt the strength to travel abroad, go on stage and give fans her creativity. Shortly before giving birth, the singer added a photo to her Instagram page in which she drinks champagne from a glass. Under the photo, Julia wrote: “High spirits.” This photo shocked all her fans; they quickly began writing comments with questions about the singer’s pregnancy.

Some suggested that she was not pregnant at all, while others could not compare her position and drinking alcohol. Others did not stop discussing the pregnancy of Yulia Kovalchuk and her husband Alexei Chumakov.

The singer felt great and could afford later pregnancy relax with a glass of champagne. Nothing threatened her health and the health of the baby, because she regularly had examinations with a doctor, took care of her health, and nourished the body with all the necessary vitamins to maintain the normal development of the baby.

The last months of Yulia Kovalchuk's pregnancy

As already mentioned, the singer’s pregnancy proceeded without any problems or deviations. Yulia could afford to travel, despite the fact that after the sixth month of pregnancy, doctors categorically prohibit flights. Despite this, until the ninth month Kovalchuk and her husband were in Spain. She absolutely loves this country; the singer noted many advantages for herself, namely:

  • beautiful architecture and the opportunity to enjoy pleasant air;
  • professional doctors to whom Julia was ready to entrust herself and the baby during childbirth;
  • quiet and relaxing holiday outside of noisy Moscow;
  • the opportunity to forget about all work issues and calmly prepare for childbirth.

Julia added a photo on her Instagram in which she stands on the seashore, enjoying the sea waves and clean air. She wrote on her page that she was very careful about her situation, which is why she left dirty Moscow to find herself in a real fairy tale, collect her thoughts and prepare for childbirth. Her husband is not visible in the photo, so subscribers assumed that Alexey had a lot of work in Russia, and he could not leave Moscow for a holiday in Spain. There were also suggestions that the singer’s birth would take place there.

The stars have own house in Spain, where they planned to live after giving birth. and Alexey Chumakov have been expecting a child for several years, so they always wanted that during childbirth and immediately after they would have comfortable living conditions, peace and quiet, allowing them to enjoy the new addition to the family. Until the last moment, they planned to give birth to the baby in Spain, but then they finally decided to return to Moscow.

Julia risked her position very much, surviving the flight. But, fortunately, everything worked out. Alexey’s career forced them to return to Moscow; he had started a new television season, so he simply could not be in Spain at that time.

In order not to leave his wife and newborn child, they together decided to return to the capital. She did not tell anyone in which maternity hospital the singer would give birth. Even curious and professional journalists failed to declassify this moment.

Marriage of Yulia Kovalchuk

Fans have been watching the married couple Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexei Chumakov for several years now, and only after so many years did the singer decide to give her husband a child. It is worth noting that the couple have been together for 10 years, and their marriage began only in 2013. For many fans, the couple of Yulia and Alexei is considered an example of love and understanding.

There has already been a lot of gossip on the Internet that their marriage is on the verge of separation, but, fortunately, this is not the case.

The singer's pregnancy changed everything, they began to spend more time with each other, attend more social events, plan the future and choose a name for their baby.

Yulia and Alexey have been married for 5 years, and it is difficult to call their family inferior. Everyone knows that stars have little time for their personal life; for them, work comes first. But this family has its own views on life and priorities. They are ready to be exemplary parents, spend time with their baby and family, and pay more attention to him. All fans are convinced that this is exactly what will happen.

Fans do not stop discussing the topic that allegedly Julia has already given birth to a baby, she is simply hiding this event, as well as her pregnancy. Journalists also have not yet been able to confirm the assumptions with facts, but they may well assume that Yulia will hide such a grandiose event for another month. Yulia’s husband, Alexey Chumakov, also does not give out any information; his page on the social network never shows his personal life, which further misleads fans.

Julia's late pregnancy, what is this connected with?

Since childhood, Yulia Kovalchuk was an energetic child who tried to achieve everything he wanted in life. Already a singer, there was no limit to perfection for Yulia. She put her career first because she wanted to realize herself as much as possible. famous person, and only then build your personal life. But, at the age of 24, Julia met her current husband, adding him to her life. Now, in addition to her favorite job, there was also a beloved man.

For a long time they did not bring up the topic of starting a real family, and even after the wedding they did not immediately plan for a baby.

Since their careers were quite busy, the young family did not want to infringe on their baby’s attention or give him up to nannies while spending time at work. And now, when Yulia is 34 and Alexey is 36 years old, they have already reached heights in their careers, gained popularity, become famous and loved.

It's time to think about the most important thing - having a child. Since Yulia and Alexey are secretive personalities and do not like to talk about their family relationships, it is very difficult to find out the truth about when they started thinking about having a baby.

As soon as I became known information that Julia was expecting a child, all fans felt incredible joy for this family. This can be understood from numerous comments. We can only hope that Kovalchuk and Chumakov really became parents, and that Yulia will soon confirm all the assumptions.

Fans are really looking forward to photos with the child, tracking all updates on social networks, hoping to be the first to find out if Yulia Kovalchuk has given birth. Journalists, in turn, do not take their eyes off the singer, hoping to get exclusive news first, and bring it to the mass reader.

I've been suffering for over a week now... Yesterday we booked tickets to Adler from June 20 to July 2. Arrival early in the morning, departure late in the evening. But more on that later... The apartment disappears right away; they are very far from the sea. Of course there are, but the price there is one and a half times higher. Guest house... but those in my price category are 14-17 thousand for 7 days, very budget modest, but they have a shared kitchen... which means you can cook and save a little money on a cafe. (but here Of course there are inconveniences, they are all on the 1st floors, you need to go downstairs with groceries in the morning to cook and bring the finished food up again (if you suddenly get a room on the 3rd-4th floor) There are even a couple of hotels with breakfast up to 20 thousand, but they don’t have even a kettle in the room. There is also an apartment hotel... it’s super, of course... and the kitchen in the room and the rooms themselves are better... but the price tag is immediately higher by 6-7 thousand... so it turns out I’m paying for the presence of a kitchen 7 thousand, but I buy groceries myself.. or I give this 7 thousand to the hotel, but for this money I only get breakfast (yes average cost breakfast at the hotel is 250-300 rubles) ..... and where is there 2 more times a day, with the condition that our child is 4 years old ... and how much money should we put in for food ... per day .... I have a little entertainment I looked at the prices.. I realized that 10 thousand is not enough, I need to lay down 15 (one trip to the aquarium is 700+700, I don’t know how much for children, probably 500=1900, also a dolphinarium, I’m also wondering if it makes sense to go to a water park..., tell me more I want to leave 2 days at Krasnaya Polyana, so I don’t have to travel 50 km back and forth. That’s where I found a hotel with breakfast and dinner for 2000 rubles per day. You can even get lunch there for 450 rubles. I also add the amount for early and late check-out , and this will most likely need to be paid in 2 more days... Tell us how you plan your vacation in terms of money.... Since we were only in Minsk as a family, but it was 4 days, and I think that we spent a lot (about 30 thousand, but that includes tickets and accommodation) I’ve never been to our south (well, only in childhood) When I was single, it was only abroad. But this time we’re not considering it. There is a but... I won’t go deeper. Those who consider themselves poor.... you can count and pass by... Half of our country is like this.... Sunshine to everyone.... for those who don’t mind, I’m waiting for advice.

Daughter of a minister without portfolio

Hi all. A small preface: in January, succumbing to a spiritual impulse, I adopted a puppy from a shelter. We already had a dog before, I knew what a responsibility it was, there were no problems with it. In my rosy dreams, I was walking with my wonderful obedient dog, watching TV, stroking him behind the ear, etc. and so on.
And now about the problem. Now he is 7 months old, a little puppy, has turned into big crocodile, which chewed up all the walls. On the street, he absolutely does not listen to me, despite the help of a dog handler, he does not stop going to the toilet at home, although the diapers have long been removed and he goes outside. I am well aware that this is my problem - I cannot find an approach to him, but I no longer have enough patience. And so I think: not to spoil his and my psyche and find new owners or continue trying to become a leader.

I adopted a cat from the shelter. He is only 1.5 months old. Despite his tiny age, he suffered a lot. He was planted on May 9 to the woman who was leaving him. The eyes were festered, bleeding, dirty, flea-infested.
I'm at home now. Goes to the tray. Incredibly affectionate and active. He purrs when he plays and eats. He slept with me and sang songs all night!)
We have an adult cat, Russian Blue. Strict aristocrat, spoiled. He despises the kitten, growls, hisses, but does not touch it.
Question for the experienced. I feed the kitten boiled breast and kefir. Doesn't drink milk. The kitten accidentally ate dry food from an adult cat and vomited. What else can you feed?
I begged my daughter for oatmeal, but she was afraid to give it. She fed me chicken.
And one more thing, please recommend a name for the kitten.
Just not Ryzhik and not Peach.
Thank you.

We became parents for the first time in mid-September this year. For the first time, Chumakov decided to publicly reveal why he and his wife took so long to have a child. The singer told details of his personal life to the host of the show “Secret for a Million” Lera Kudryavtseva. For example, Alexey dispelled rumors that he and his wife allegedly could not have children due to health problems.

Chumakov said that they didn’t have children for so long for only one reason: he and Yulia decided to seriously prepare for the issue of having a child. According to the artist, due to their heavy workload, they previously had no time to even think about having offspring. However, years ago, after seriously talking about this topic, they decided to start by taking care of their health, seeing doctors and, of course, having a good rest.

Alexey Chumakov said that his daughter looks more like him than Yulia Kovalchuk

Having learned about pregnancy, Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov made a decision: they would not tell anyone about it, not even their closest people. Star couple was afraid possible complications during pregnancy. As a result, Julia spent nine months calmly until her daughter was born. However, as Alexey explained in the show “Secret for a Million,” they are still not going to show their daughter to the public, at least until the christening. Moreover, the couple also decided not to name the girl’s name for now. But the singer did tell some details. For example, he admitted that he was present at the birth. And I am sure that it could not have been otherwise.

Lera Kudryavtseva’s program showed footage of a happy young dad, Alexei Chumakov, walking near a pond with a stroller. Looking tenderly into the stroller, the singer said that, in his opinion, his daughter was more like him: “Some features sometimes slip through: once - Julia. Sometimes it will turn around - exactly me. Part of Yulin's nose, part - my. Some kind of symbiosis is so beautiful. But my black blood, of course, won: it is black. And her eyes will probably definitely be brown».

“Million Dollar Secret”: Alexey Chumakov

Let us remind you that Alexey Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk officially formalized their relationship on October 1, 2013, although they have been living together for ten years. According to the singer and TV presenter, she considers herself very happy woman, because there is a strong shoulder nearby: “Sometimes my independence takes over, but I remember in time: “No, I can’t do this on my own!” We had a stage in our lives when we, both leaders, did not want to give in to each other. But it is important for a man to understand that he is in charge. And I began to adapt. As soon as I began to give in, he began to give in too.”

Musicians Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov spoke for the first time about their joyful anticipation: very soon they will become parents.

On the eve of the happy event, the spouses Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov met and talked with the editor-in-chief of OK! Vadim Vernik. Julia was the first to arrive at the meeting. Lyosha appeared a little later: he is working in the studio on a new album.

Julia, are you driving yourself?

In Spain I often travel by myself, but in Moscow I travel with a driver. And I am ready to erect a monument to all pregnant girls who even get to the maternity hospital on their own, since this is physically very difficult. And this happens - I know.

Why did you need to drive in Spain yourself?

What do you mean why? I absolutely love driving and enjoy the process, especially when it’s the traffic-free roads of the Costa Brava and my mother is sitting next to me. But in the presence of my husband, I am always just a passenger. Perhaps he is the only one I completely trust, and in my current situation it is also much more convenient. Moreover, this was the first such a long vacation in my life.

You know, I remember this picture, it was several years ago. We met with you in Sheremetyevo, you were in transit there - from one tour to another: exhausted, tired, in a huge hood, only your eyes were visible, curled up and instantly fell asleep.

I love this, yes. To be precise, I have been living in this mode for 17 years.

With such a schedule, there’s probably no time for a child.

But I’m still a girl and subconsciously, of course, I thought about it and understood that, of course, there would come a time in my life when I would want to take a short break and enjoy motherhood.

Have you changed in any way in your new position? Have you become capricious or sensitive?

I can honestly tell you, Vadim, I’m not one of those girls who fanatically spend time on the Internet, delving into women’s forums or thematic sites. I really trust my feelings and believe that my body itself will tell me how to react to the magic that happens to me.

Besides, pregnancy is such a universal joy! From the very beginning I knew that I would not have the whims and speculations characteristic of a large number pregnant girls. It seems to me that this only angers and pushes away the man I love.

And did you stoically withstand such an attitude?

Now Lyosha will join us and tell us. ( Smiles.) But I admit, I tried. Although, of course, I’m not a robot and anything can happen. Still, changes in hormonal levels leave a certain imprint on a woman’s behavior, but I didn’t have many such emotional outbursts. And strong whims about food or lack of attention too. Although at some points I could be unrestrained, overly sentimental and could even cry. For example, funny story. I wanted to treat Lyosha to homemade freshly brewed compote. I’m bringing him a decanter and suddenly on the way I break it. Lyosha jokingly says to me: “Well, I tried the compote.” And it hurt me so much! Basically, I start crying.

I don’t understand why I’m crying: either it’s a pity that I never gave my husband something to drink, or because I’m careless, or because his words pricked me at that moment. Within a few minutes I realized the absurdity of the situation, went to wash my face, and I myself felt both funny and sad. But this is an isolated case.

Tell me, Yul, what about courses for young parents? Or are they not needed?

I don't think they are unnecessary. But firstly, we are not twenty, we are very conscious guys, and secondly, we just somehow didn’t even think about it. Again, we trust our inner voice and each other. On November 12, I will be thirty-five, and I could not even dream of such an anniversary gift. Thank you God! ( Smiles.)

Was Lyosha internally prepared for such a turn of events?

But for Lyosha and me this topic is so intimate that we decided to talk about it only now. And we realized that we could trust and tell it so sincerely, in a family way, only to you, Vadim.

Thank you, Julia, I really appreciate your trust. You said that you have only recently matured for motherhood...

It was important for me to achieve success at work - it's no secret. I was a real careerist, especially at the age of 25, when I left Blestyashchie. It was morally necessary for me to prove to everyone that I could assert myself in this difficult business and become needed in the profession, even without having a producer. At that moment, important career changes were taking place for Lyosha. He left producer Evgeniy Fridlyand, and he also had to build his own from scratch musical history. Therefore, to be honest, we didn’t even have time to think about children. But from the age of thirty, thoughts about motherhood and the fact that with all my being I was ready for this began to come to me more and more often. But here our schedule made its own adjustments. We just weren't physically close in right time in the right place. And at some point we decided to relax, realizing that everything would happen when it was supposed to happen.

Many of your friends and colleagues became mothers early, and they probably shared with you some of their thoughts on this matter. Didn't your heart skip a beat at that moment?

In fact, I admire and rejoice at the girls, my peers, who are raising adult children. Yes, Lyosha and I recently discussed that it would be great, maybe to think about it a little earlier, but everyone has their own destiny. And so, returning to my colleagues, I, of course, am delighted with Vera Brezhneva, who looks like elder sister their daughters, or from Natasha Ionova - she and her eldest daughter are already friends. And they both look amazing. And I will try.

I'm sure it will be so. Even now, on the eve of giving birth, you look great!

Thanks a lot. It's all tan. ( Smiles.) I have a sporty character and a choreographic background, so, of course, I don’t relax much. I don’t have any terrible gluttony, and, most importantly, I don’t want it. I somehow negotiate with my body.

Well, you haven't recovered much.

Doctors say no. In the middle of the term, I did yoga with a specialist, and then on my own. In Spain I swam every day and, by the way, I filmed my “Dance” video when I was four months pregnant, dancing and running so that no one noticed my position. Well, and most importantly, I made it a rule to walk at least five thousand steps every day, in any condition, in any weather.

Well done! Lyosha tours and records all the time. Who is helping you?

Lyosha helps me regardless of the tour. We have been able to find a balance between personal and work for almost 10 years. But we must admit, we seemed to feel changes in our lives: a year ago I moved my parents here from Volzhsky. They doubted it for a long time - after all, there were still friends there, father’s hobbies (fishing and hunting), mother’s students and students with whom she is still friends. But after the move there was not a moment that they regretted it. Now they live side by side and, naturally, help as much as they can: dad supervises the reconstruction of the house (we are finishing the nursery), mom was with me in Spain when Lyosha flew away on tour.

(Alexey appears.) Lyosha, hello. Handsome, all in white!

Julia: It seems to me that I have already told you so much, now you will complement me.

Julia said that at your age there is some certain wisdom that allows you to look at expecting a child differently. Do you agree with this?

Alexey: Absolutely. I heard that God gives a child when people are ready for it. Everything is on time. If I were seventeen years old, I don't think I would quite understand what was in her belly.

Yu.: In fact, like a true man, he says: “Well, let’s hurry up, you communicate there, I also want to see you.”

Lyosha, tell me, was Yulia capricious? I'm interested in your version.

Yu.: Yes, tell me.

A.: In general, I noticed her pregnancy less than she did. She's a real man. ( Laughs.)

Yu.: I told you about that stupid incident when I burst into tears because of a broken decanter.

A.: Well, of course, a woman without a slight brainwash! ( Smiles.)

“Yulia is like a man” - what do you mean?

A.: She treats everything normally, without any unnecessary facial expressions. She's not capricious. Julia is basically quite pragmatic. And pragmatism plus romance give rise to realism, and it exists in this realism. Therefore, to say that I ran into the desert for pickles - this did not happen.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but still. Has your relationship changed somehow, have you started looking at Yulia differently?

Yu.: Can I tell you while Lyosha is thinking? I kept worrying: “Honey, I’m probably plump, unsexy and ugly.” And Lyosha always said words that were very important to me.

A.: I just immediately told her, “You are fat and very unsexy,” so that at the time of pregnancy she would not feel the difference.

“Good” Lyosha!

Yu.: In fact, he said: “You know, there is something attractive in the shape of a pregnant woman.” This was very important for me to hear. Now every time I go up to him and say that I am a bun, and Lyosha always answers that I have hardly gained any weight.

A.: One hundred fourteen kilograms and seventeen grams do not count.

Certainly. Yulia says that you are finishing the nursery.

A.: Yes, but in fact we are chic, to be honest. I remember how I was raised...

Yu: And me.

A.: Lord, it was some kind of small fifty-meter apartment in which the four of us lived.

In Samarkand?

A.: Yes. Then there was a house, very small, about seventy squares. And nothing, they raised me well!

Yu.: And when I was born, my parents lived in a dormitory, there was only one room. I am the second child, there were four of us too. We were given the long-awaited apartment when I was eleven months old. Mom stood in these lines for a very long time, and in the end a miracle happened. True, the apartment was on the fifth floor without an elevator, so it was very “convenient” to carry strollers. They let me into this apartment, and that was the first time I went.

My sister and I lived in the same room, we didn’t have our own personal space, but I, as a little girl, always wanted to have it. I found a way out: we had a big table, dad made it himself, I covered it with a blanket, and under my table I had my own world, no one went there.

When did you get your own real space?

This was the first rented apartment in Moscow. She was small, ugly, black, all covered with carpets.

A.: You describe me exactly as a child - small, black, ugly. ( Laughs.)

YU.: ( Laughs.) And I was happy, I was nineteen years old then. I had already joined the “Brilliant” group, worked for a year and saved up money to rent an apartment for two hundred and fifty dollars. This was my small victory and pride. But I was able to truly feel what my personal space was only when Lyosha and I bought a house.

How old is this house?

Yu: Four years.

And as it turned out, there is still not enough space.

A.: I want it to small man played and didn't bother anyone. Just kidding, of course. I understand that I will have to leave my comfort zone.

For example, we like to watch TV series at night, but the children’s room is right through the wall. We soundproofed it to such an extent that now you can't hear anything at all. Such things will not hurt the child’s pride in any way, but they will help us.

Yulia says that she began to think seriously about having a child only after she was thirty. And you?

A.: Creative people are mostly selfish, you know that. We do everything for the sake of attention to ourselves. Music, songs, concerts are nothing more than an attempt to attract attention. You revel in your work, you have a lot of plans and a lot of problems that need to be solved, and, let’s say, you have no time for children. But now I understand that I probably should have done it earlier.

Yu.: That’s what I said too.

A.: If I had an adult son or daughter now, I would already have something interesting to tell them. And so, when the child grows up, I will already be old.

You'll be in the juice.

Maybe. I'll see how I survive. It also depends on how our songs will be listened to, how long our creative longevity will last, hence the moral state. We depend on the viewer.

In this sense, everything is in your favor. You gave me two of your books, I will read them with pleasure. You will have big concerts in Moscow very soon - at Vegas City Hall on November 4 and 5. This says a lot.

A.: Yulia is also doing great in this sense. Although, of course, she devoted these months more to herself and her pregnancy.

Yu.: I managed to release the track “Dance”, and the album is now being mixed in America, so in the musical sense there will be no breaks. At the same time, I really gave myself the opportunity to take a break from concerts and television projects.

Was there a creative itch?

Yu.: At first it was.

A.: She still has it.

Yu.: Lyosha means that I cannot be a woman who just sits at home, turns on the TV, lies down and enjoys pregnancy.

A: She needs to do something.

You know, I love that you guys are both on your own creative paths. Lyosha, you don’t adapt to any specific formats of show business, you sing as you feel. Julia also chose her own path. You have proven yourself wonderfully as a TV presenter, as an actress, and in parallel, of course, your vocal history.

A.: Each of us is independent, we have not had producers for many years. Freedom is important to me in creativity.

Have you ever wanted to slightly adjust your views so that, for example, you could be on the air more on radio stations?

A.: I am certainly looking for a compromise. But the viewer who comes to my concert loves what he loves about me. And if now I adapt too much to the general trend, change myself to suit all sorts of formats, then I will simply lose all those who love me and those whom I love. And most importantly, I will lose myself. Let my small but high-quality listener remain with me, so that millions of those who do not care about sincerity in music will join.

Have you thought about recording a duet album?

A.: There was a successful duet song “To Notes”. As for the album, no, we don’t plan. Yulia and I have completely different audiences. My audience is people 25–45 years old, wealthy, comfortable in life, who have the right to listen to the music they want. Yulia is loved by younger viewers. More reckless, like herself. That’s why we don’t give joint concerts. Some people will wait for me to come out, and the other part will wait for me to leave.

Returning to what's to come important event. You have now spent so much time in Spain. Have you thought about flying from there to New York or Paris, for example, to give birth?

A.: No, we deliberately chose Russia. We are patriots and we don't joke. We adore Russia so much, we are so grateful to it for what we have here, that...

Yu.: ...we didn’t even consider other options. I can’t imagine how it’s possible in these important points communicate in another language, not feel or see your loved ones nearby.

Will Lyosha be present at the birth?

Yu.: All my adult life I thought that a man should not be present at childbirth. I swear. But how normal woman I am inclined to change my mind, and now, when this miracle is about to happen, I just need him to be nearby. Although he is a very restless young man.

A.: I’m just balanced, just impressionable, I take everything to heart. I know that I won’t be able to stay at home, because I will be nervous, I will need to control everything. And there I will worry no less... I make up my mind. I'm still afraid.

Julia, how are you setting yourself up - do you plan to quickly return to duty or not?

A: Man proposes, but God disposes.

Yu: That's right. But to be honest, we are already planning concerts for November-December. Pregnancy and a child are, of course, a qualitatively different format of life. But this does not mean that Lyosha and I need to reshape our lives.

A.: We are so free in our profession, so much on our own, that even tomorrow we can say: “Okay, stop. Don’t touch me this month, I left.” We don't sit in offices. Because of this, the child is absolutely not a story that pulls the ground out from under your feet. Independence and freedom are the main reward for creativity.

Now you are both excited.

Yu.: Of course, I already dream every day that I am giving birth. I thought I was crazy, but the doctors confirmed my mental stability with a smile and said that it was very good sign. It’s impossible to remain completely pragmatic, both in dreams and in life, my thoughts are now mainly occupied only with preparing for this incredibly happy event.

You talk about it and beam. And Lyosha, although wearing dark glasses, too. Keep shining, dear ones!

Thanks a lot!

Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov recently became parents for the first time. The couple hid the pregnancy until the last, which, however, was not difficult: Julia, although recent months, there was a small tummy. She even managed to fly from Spain to give birth in Moscow, although she could easily not have been allowed on the plane without a certificate, but no one even noticed her delicate situation.

Julia gave her husband a daughter. Happy Event happened a little over three months ago, but the singer continues to “play hide and seek” with fans. If she publishes pictures of the baby, she does not show her face, and is also in no hurry to announce what name the couple chose for the girl.

Fans are at a loss, and some suggest that the stars named their daughter Diana. Others are simply annoyed by such secrecy. Yulia was reprimanded that even royal families show their children and especially do not make a secret of the babies’ names.
