He first asked permission from the girl's father, who allowed him to care for his daughter. Some time later, in 2006, the couple decided to formalize their relationship.

In 2008, their family welcomed two twin sons - Mikail and Ali. It seemed like family happiness can last forever, beautiful and famous couple radiated happiness.

But there was discord in the family and at some point the couple decided to live separately. Emin left for Moscow, and Leila took the children with her and went to London. The family was reunited only on weekends. It is unknown how many years such a life apart could have lasted. But the couple decided to dot all the i's. In May 2015, they officially announced their separation. At the same time, both Emin and his ex-wife Leila emphasized that they remained friends. Now Emin takes care of his own sons and adopted daughter Leila with love and tenderness.

A wedding took place in Baku last Sunday eldest daughter President of Azerbaijan Leyla Aliyeva and commercial director of Crocus International Emin Agalarov. According to Azerbaijani tradition, rich weddings are held twice: the first celebration, as a rule, is hosted by the bride’s side, the second by the groom. Mr. Agalarov, heir to one of the largest trading empires in Russian market luxury, in this regard, promised to arrange a return reception for the new relatives in Moscow.

Emin Agalarov, who at 25 was considered one of the most eligible bachelors in Moscow, and 20-year-old Leyla Aliyeva met at one of the Swiss ski resorts two years ago. The romance progressed. During this time, Leila, accompanied by her mother, the wife of the Azerbaijani President Mehriban Aliyeva, flew several times to meet with Emin Agalarov in Moscow, and this January, on the eve of Kurban Bayram, the young people got engaged.

It was decided to invite only the closest people to the wedding in Baku. 150 guests from the bride's side and 90 from the groom's side were invited to arrive at the Gulistan Palace, whose name translates as “Land of Flowers”.

Already a week before wedding celebration local special services blocked the approaches to Gulistan and did not allow curious people to enter. The organization of the banquet was taken over by the First Lady of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva, who has experience in holding various celebrations as the head Charitable Foundation named after Heydar Aliyev. She selected the musicians and determined the repertoire. Rumors about the arrival of world pop stars, including Enrique Iglesias and Sting, however, were not confirmed. But to prepare the celebration, Moscow set designer Boris Krasnov, stylists and hairdressers from Moscow were called in to help Mrs. Aliyeva, and lighting, sound and music equipment was delivered from the UK. In addition, according to some reports, the charter delivered thousands of white roses and orchids from Holland. However, set designer Krasnov assured Kommersant: “No charters, they worked only on local flowers: the first lady, as a person with great taste, did not want excessive pathos - only the hall was decorated with flowers - and in general comparisons with another notable eastern wedding.” Most likely, Mr. Krasnov was referring to the wedding of Alsou Safina and Yan Abramov, which recently took place in Moscow.

The marriage of Leyla Aliyeva and Emin Agalarov was blessed by a representative of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Caucasus, and only then the young people were registered secularly. The costumes of the bride and groom were traditional: White dress Leila's and Emin's black tuxedo. Before the dancing began, personal congratulations from US President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin were read out. The heads of these states also gave gifts to the young people. Almost the entire cabinet of Azerbaijan arrived with personal congratulations. The Moscow guests stood out against their background (primarily with their extravagant outfits): composer Igor Krutoy, artist Vladimir Vinokur, singer Lev Leshchenko, fashion designers Valentin Yudashkin and Vyacheslav Zaitsev, stylist Sergei Zverev.

The treat was traditional, but the organizers found the strength to abandon the toastmaster: the speakers were represented by an invisible compere.

In the midst of the wedding, one of the best Azerbaijani pop singers, Zulfiya Khanbabayeva, appeared on stage with a lyrical song, and President Aliyev hastened to invite his wife to a slow dance. This became a signal for the rest of the guests. The culmination of the dance part of the evening was the incendiary rock and roll performed by Ilham Aliyev.

Guests kept coming up to the table where the newlyweds were sitting to take pictures with them.

The wedding lasted until half past one in the morning, when both the newlyweds and their parents had already left the hall.

The timing of the Moscow ceremony is still being debated. Options are mid-May and early June.

The daughter of the President of Azerbaijan and her husband cooed at each other at the presentation of a new book by Stalik Khankishiev

The night before, stars and politicians flocked to the capital's Zafferano restaurant for one specific purpose - to eat. Not to look at others and show off oneself, not to talk about business and work, but solely for the sake of pleasing one’s stomach. Because the way the famous chef, TV presenter and author of popular websites about food Stalik KHANKISHIEV cooks - you still have to look for it. Stalik’s first book, “Cauldron, Barbecue and Other Men’s Pleasures,” became a bestseller. And now he presented his new work - “Cauldron, Ram and Dastarkhan”.

That evening, the guests, among whom were even the ambassadors of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Moldova and Lithuania, ate a lot and deliciously, drank deliciously and said endless toasts in honor of the author of the book being presented. Food for the dinner party was delivered by plane from Baku a few hours before it started. Our efforts were not in vain: TV presenter Leonid Parfenov As soon as he fell for the juicy kebab, he couldn’t tear himself away from it until he destroyed everything down to the crumbs. At the next table, the husband was snacking on lamb with no less appetite. Diana Gurtskaya Petr Kucherenko. But the singer herself modestly pecked a microscopic portion of pilaf from a plate - apparently, she was taking care of her figure. They also came to try kebab from Khankishiev Mikhail Kozakov with his wife Anna Yampolskaya, Vladimir Menshov, Alexander Linkov, Yuliy Gusman, Svetlana Konegen and many others.

The real highlight of the evening was Leyla Aliyeva– daughter of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. The star of the East proudly sailed into the hall, accompanied by a whole retinue of guards, along with her husband, heir to the Crocus Group empire Emin Agalarov. It was no accident that Leila wandered into the light: the restaurant Zafferano, where the presentation took place, belongs to her father-in-law Aras Agalarov. In addition, Leila is the editor-in-chief of the Baki magazine, with the support of which the presentation took place. The beauty cooed all evening with her husband, who every now and then gently kissed his beloved on the cheek.

— A beautiful wife and delicious pilaf - what else does a man need to be happy? – one of the guests remarked philosophically, watching the tenderness of the couple.
“A lot of money,” his table neighbor answered gloomily. At this time, Leila carefully offered her husband another piece of kebab. Emin, who is often called the “singing businessman,” recently presented another album, which he composed and recorded under the pseudonym EMIN. The Crocus Group heir modestly regards his passion for music solely as a hobby, but court flatterers have already managed to nickname him “the Azerbaijani Elvis Presley.”
