Malakhov gave birth. Andrey Malakhov had a son: latest news, photos

Andrey Malakhov is the most popular TV presenter today. His departure from Channel One caused a lot of noise among fans and attracted attention to his person. People are trying to figure out the reasons, and one of the versions is the birth of a child. But no one knows for sure whether this is so, since the journalist carefully hides his personal life. We decided to tell you whether Andrei Malakhov has children at all, whether he is married and how he lives off the air.

Biography: origin and education

The famous Russian showman was born in the Murmansk region on January 11, 1972. His father, a geophysicist by profession, was sent there for research work, where he met a local resident - the future mother of our hero, then she worked in a kindergarten. Soon they got married and had a boy.

Andrei studied well and received a medal upon graduation. In addition, he had an ear for music, thanks to which he mastered additional musical education.

Malakhov received his main profession already in Moscow at Moscow State University at the Faculty of Journalism, and during his studies he worked at Radio Maximum.

But the young journalist did not stop there; after Moscow State University, he entered the Faculty of Law at the Russian State University for the Humanities, where he now teaches.

Fame came to Malakhov after he got a job at Channel One. Here, with his participation, many beloved programs were published.

Career: television and film

Andrei began working on television in 1992, at first he wrote texts for programs that were shown on ORT. Then his career began to develop rapidly, and all new projects appeared with his participation.

The most memorable of them were:

• "Telemorning";
• "Good morning";
• "Big Wash";
• And after that and until 2017 - “Let them talk.”

In addition, Malakhov was a member of the jury of various music and entertainment competitions:

• "Two stars";
• "Golden Gramophone Award".

He also starred in TV series, where he usually played himself:

• Indigo;
• Kitchen;
• Father's daughters.

Recently, information appeared that the showman was leaving Channel One due to an internal conflict, and a little later they began to say that he was going on maternity leave and would take care of a child whose appearance was expected in the near future. What's the real reason no one knows yet, we can only guess.

Andrei Malakhov's wife

The birth of the baby was reported to the media journalist's wife - Natalya Shkuleva , she is known in certain circles as a business lady of the Russian publishing industry.

Natalya is now 37 years old; she was born in 1980 into a family of people who devoted themselves to social activities. My father is the director of Komsomolskaya Pravda, my mother works there.

The girl followed in the footsteps of her parents; after graduating from school, she easily entered MGIMO, and after that she continued her education in London. Now Shkuleva is engaged in the publishing business with her parents, among her projects:

1. Departures Magazine;
2. Women's magazines Marie Claire and ELLE.

And others. Natasha met her future husband at work when he began collaborating with one of the magazines, which had been working together with the Shkulev family for a long time. A romance began between the young people, they lived together for a year, then legalized their relationship.

But, despite the family, everyone continues to devote themselves to work, understanding the frequent separations and busyness of their partner. Friends and acquaintances say that this is a wonderful union, based on respect and friendship, which can be envied.

Does Malakhov have children?

The solemn wedding ceremony of the young people was carefully hidden; it is only known that it took place in Versailles. The couple generally tries to keep their distance from the press.

The media is constantly discussing childlessness of the star family. Information about the pregnancy of the wife of a famous showman often pops up on the Internet. Recently, Andrei allegedly left a comment on one of the pages under a photo of his wife in a wide, loose dress that they were expecting a baby. But later Natasha denied this information, explaining to fans that this page is nothing more than a fake. The publisher immediately explained that now they are each busy with their own careers and she does not yet want to devote herself only to her family, but she will definitely fulfill her destiny later, when the time comes.

Probably, rumors and gossip are an integral part of the life of all famous people, which is why they have to hide from journalists, literally go underground.

Did Andrei Malakhov have a child?

Recently, news about the life of the spouses has appeared less and less, the couple practically stopped appearing at events and began to hide even more carefully from their colleagues. Users of social networks noticed the changes that had taken place and drew their own conclusions, attributing the long-awaited pregnancy to Natasha.

And they were not mistaken; recently the Russian media reported about a joyful event. After 6 years of marriage, the star family expecting first child.

The journalist has already officially confirmed the information on various websites. But he is extremely surprised by the public interest in this event and his maternity leave.

The young mother refuses to comment on this topic and continues to lead a normal life, trying to attend social events and be just as active in her work.

New projects of the TV presenter

The other day it became known that the TV presenter will still continue his career, but on a different channel. Now his place of work will be “Russia-1”, here he will host the “Live Broadcast” show instead of Korchevnikov, and will also become a producer of new projects.

The journalist calls talk about maternity leave rumors; he claims that he intends to continue working, but left his previous duty station for completely different reasons, which he prefers to remain silent about. That is why today all websites and channels are discussing what happened.

But now fans can rest assured, the presenter will continue to delight them with new projects and is not going to disappear from the silver screen even after the birth of the baby, and on which channel we will see him is not so important.

So, now it becomes clear where you can see the presenter beloved by many, and we also tried to lift the curtain on his personal life by telling whether Andrei Malakhov has children, a little about his parents and family, and plans for the near future.

Video: how did Andrei Malakhov explain his departure?

In this video, journalist Roman Lopatin will tell you why the presenter left Channel One and what the reasons were for this:

The star family will welcome its first child in early November

In two months, the country's most popular presenter will become a dad. This child will be the first-born for both Andrei and his wife Natalya. Malakhov does not hide: “I dreamed of a child for a long time.”

For the six years that Andrei and Natasha have been married, they have been attacked with questions: “When will the child be born?” The couple remained silent, Malakhov became the godfather of the children of friends and colleagues, often visited holy places, did charity work, invested his own money in the construction of churches... God heard his prayers. And now Andrey, despite his busy schedule, tries to spend at least one day a week with his wife.

— The last time we discussed which episode of the educational cartoon “Child. Einstein" is it better to start introducing your baby to Baby da Vinci, ready to take the baby on a musical journey from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, or limit himself to a video under the promising title "Baby Shakespeare"?

The couple protect their happiness from strangers, so in recent months Natalya has only gone out into the world once - she came to the filming of her husband’s first program, “Andrei Malakhov. Live". Natalya supports her husband and understands that now, having changed jobs, he must spend days and nights there. As Malakhov himself recently admitted, his wife cheers him up during the working day by sending him many interesting pictures and videos.

Natalya, like any woman in the last stages of pregnancy, has gained weight, and these changes suit her. Most of Malakhov's fans believe that a girl will be born into the family.

5. Natalya Shkuleva spoke about her husband in an interview with Elle magazine. First of all, Malakhov is a believer: “Andrey is a believer. And the cross is always with him - both day and night... Usually on his birthday he goes to holy places. There he spends several days alone with himself, God, and soul.” Natalya remembered how Andrei proposed to her: “...He proposed to me in New York, on the November holidays. We were in one of the most fashionable restaurants in the city at that time, Bagatelle, and everything happened there. At some point, Andrei got down on one knee and asked: “Will you marry me?” And I jokingly replied: “I’ll think about it” and began to cry. It was a classic proposal scene in a restaurant - everyone was looking at us. Of course I agreed! Everyone applauded us: both guests and waiters. And then the unimaginable began: we all started dancing on the tables, and the champagne flowed like a river.” And this is what their first date was like: “...He calls me and says: “Will you come with me?” I ask: “Where?”: “This is a surprise. We’ll meet in an hour on Paveletsky.” I arrive, as agreed, at the station, and Andrei is already waiting for me with flowers. The date was in late spring, I was wearing a Chanel jacket, nice trousers, and ballet flats on my feet. We enter the SV, and in our compartment Jo Malone candles are burning and a “table” is set with French wine and cheeses. I still didn’t know where this train was going. We talked all night long! This is how our first date began. And then we actually ended up in Bryansk, in a maximum security men’s colony, where Andrei was filming a television story.”

Andrei Malakhov and Natalya Shkuleva became parents for the first time after six years of marriage. The couple had a son.

The famous Russian TV presenter gave birth to his first child. Late in the evening of November 16, 2017, his wife gave birth to a boy.

A happy event in the Malakhov family occurred at 23:30 on November 16 at the Lapino clinical hospital near Moscow. The newborn’s weight is 4.020 kg, height is 54 cm. Mother and baby feel good.

Andrei was not present at the birth, but waited for the heir to appear in the ward. “We still have to choose the child’s name - we want to look at the baby’s character. I’m waiting for the moment when I can change my son’s first diaper!” Malakhov told reporters.

Let us remind you. The couple met within the walls of the Hearst Shkulev Media publishing house. Malakhov said that he usually took lunch with him, and on that fateful day he went to the dining room, where he met Shkuleva. Natalya does not hide the fact that it was a classic office romance. However, the first date truly surprised Shkuleva - it began with dinner in a train carriage, and ended in a rather unusual place for a rendezvous.

"He calls me and says, 'Will you come with me?' I ask: “Where?” - "It's a surprise. We’ll meet in an hour on Paveletsky.” I arrive, as agreed, at the station, and Andrei is already waiting for me with flowers. The date was in late spring, I was wearing a Chanel jacket, nice trousers, and ballet flats on my feet. We enter the SV, and in our compartment Jo Malone candles are burning and a “table” is set with French wine and cheeses. I still didn’t know where this train was going. We talked all night long! This is how our first date began. And then we actually ended up in Bryansk, in a maximum security men’s colony, where Andrei was filming a television story,” Natalya shared.

On October 4, 2010, the TV presenter proposed marriage to his chosen one. To do this, he chose one of the most fashionable restaurants in New York. Shkuleva said that Malakhov knelt down and presented the ring. This act of a loved one moved Natalya to tears. After she accepted the proposal, all the guests and waiters applauded the couple.

They registered their marriage on June 4, 2011. That day they did not organize a magnificent celebration, but made do with a modest family dinner. The newly-made husband and wife organized a big celebration a little later - on the 13th in Versailles. The couple love to travel everywhere, and therefore decided to hold the ceremony in one of the most beautiful places on earth - a palace in France. The celebration was attended only by relatives, as well as the couple’s closest friends and colleagues. Natalia looked flawless in a white wedding dress.

Malakhov, according to him, adores his wife and does not hide the fact that she changed his life.

“I wake up early in the morning and watch her sleep. My face breaks into a smile, and I gently stroke her hair, which after three days at sea has already faded in the sun. I like everything about her: kindness, taste, her ability to hear and listen, tenderness and independence,” said Andrey.

At the beginning of August this year, it became known that the couple were expecting their first child. Malakhov said: “But today the most popular publication in our family is “Happy Parents,” and conversations revolve around children. The last time we discussed which episode of the educational cartoon “Child. Einstein" is it better to start introducing the baby - Baby da Vinci, ready to send the baby on a musical journey from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, or limit himself to a video under the promising title "Baby Shakespeare"?

Natalia always supports her husband in everything. Despite the fact that Shkuleva was pregnant, she came to the shooting of the first program “Andrei Malakhov. Live" to see with your own eyes the beginning of the work of the TV presenter on the Russia-1 channel.

05.04.2018 |

Andrey Malakhov is an extraordinary and very interesting personality. Many Russian television viewers know and love him as the host of the talk show “Let Them Talk.” But what lies behind the mask of a pedantic journalist? Does he have a family and children? How long has Andrey been married? Today we will try to find out.

What kind of family did Andrei Malakhov grow up in?

Andrei Malakhov was taught the manners of a true gentleman in an intelligent Soviet family

Andrei’s father, a geophysicist by profession, instilled in the boy, along with truly masculine willpower, politeness and delicacy. Nikolai Malakhov is very reserved and patient. In addition, the manners of a true gentleman are not alien to him. Hence the high moral qualities of his son, whose name appears in the topic of our article.

Andrei Malakhov grew up in a simple Soviet family.

Andrei Malakhov’s mother is a simple kindergarten teacher. Unless, of course, we can say “simple” about a person with a medal for labor achievements. She is considered one of the best teachers in the city, and all thanks to the internal energy of Lyudmila Malakhova. Children love her, because almost every weekday in kindergarten turns into a fun game or even a theatrical performance for them. So Andrei Malakhov got the “fuse”, without which a journalist will never become a good journalist, from his mother.

Personal life of Andrei Malakhov

Andrey Malakhov does not like to cover his personal life, rare photos are an exception

The personal life of stars is always of interest to the public. Popular men from show business are especially attractive to young girls. And who is his chosen one? Women are tormented by this issue. Both fans and anti-fans dream about the slightest event. Andrey Malakhov is no exception. Andrey has always been reserved in his relationships with women; finding a worthy candidate, especially from his own circle, is not so easy.

Being a journalist himself, Andrei tries as best he can to hide his family life from prying eyes.

Of course, in our time this is hardly possible, as readers could see earlier. However, such secrecy reflects Malakhov’s feelings of dignity and delicacy. So, in a way, it also generates interest. The profession helped Malakhov here too, because he met his beloved in a work environment.

Malakhov's wedding

Malakhov's wedding was a bright and romantic event in the best classical traditions

The wedding took place back in 2011, and its circumstances will certainly be of interest to the reader. The celebration was scheduled for July, but in fact took place in June. And all because the media got wind of the original date. Not wanting to advertise such an important life event, the couple decided to postpone the date. This is a common tradition among stars who do not want to reveal aspects of their personal lives.

The wedding took place in an atmosphere of secrecy.

Only relatives and closest friends of the newlyweds were invited. The festive dinner took place at the Palace of Versailles, where renting one hall costs no less than 150 thousand euros.

And Andrei Malakhov and his wife Natalya spent their wedding night in one of the most expensive hotels in the world in romantic Paris, its name is also “shrouded in darkness.”

Who is she - the wife of Andrei Malakhov

Natalya Shkuleva is an example of a modern educated and business woman

Today (2016) it is known that Andrei Malakhov’s wife is Natalya Shkuleva. She was born into an intelligent Moscow family, graduated from MGIMO and is engaged in publishing, according to her father's tradition. Natalya is the executive editor and publisher of such popular magazines as Marie Claire, Home. Interiors plus ideas" and publications of the "ELLE" group.

Natalya and Andrey are creative and original individuals.

Andrei and Natalya first appeared together in public back in 2009, at the wedding of their close friends, then after a year of civil marriage they got engaged. Andrei gave his future wife a diamond ring with a two-carat stone, and the couple went to Apatity for the blessing of Andrei’s mother. It’s interesting that Malakhov is used to valuing his mother’s opinion; she categorically refused to accept her previous lover. But the woman liked Natalya, she calmly gave her son into her hands.

Where does Andrei Malakhov's family live?

The couple maintains romance in their relationship by setting each other up on dates.

Andrei Malakhov lives with his wife in a luxurious Arbat apartment, but sometimes the couple even try to live a little apart. They go their separate ways to have romantic rendezvous, once again experiencing the fervor of first dates. That's how creative they are. A busy professional life, as the public assumes, does not yet allow the couple to have children. Or maybe Andrey and Natalya are not yet ready to create a full-fledged home?

“Natasha is truly the closest person to Andrei,” the words of his mother.

Natalya is successful and ambitious, she will never become a housewife, especially since any young woman would envy her career growth. Andrei’s family is based on mutual understanding and an alliance of like-minded people. Husband and wife, both media professionals, share common interests. Although any woman dreams of children, especially when her beloved and such a worthy man is nearby.

Natalia Shkuleva's loose clothing misled the public about her pregnancy

A question that interests millions of fans of the famous showman is how many children does Andrei have? The reason for the uncertainty of information, as often happens in the world of show business, is the lies and speculation of bewildered paparazzi. In 2015, a post appeared on Andrei Malakhov’s fake page on the popular Twitter network that the family was supposedly expecting a new addition. In this regard, the TV presenter, who usually does not communicate with the press, even decided to make an official statement, the essence of which is simple: “We don’t have children and don’t expect them yet.”

Is Andrei Malakhov's wife pregnant? – the fans asked.

However, soon the media again started talking about the fact that Andrei Malakhov’s wife was allegedly pregnant. This happened already at the beginning of 2016. Afterwards it became clear that the reason for this was precisely the negative statement made by Malakhov earlier, as we indicated above. For some reason, the public decided that in this way the journalist wanted to limit attention to his “pregnant” wife. This news again turned out to be a “duck”; Andrey often has to fight off such rumors.

Does Andrei Malakhov have children?

In the summer of 2016, people started talking about a possible addition to the family again. However, now there was no pseudo-news. The rumors arose due to the fact that Natalia Shkuleva’s followers on Instagram noticed a characteristic tummy in one of the photos. They even began to congratulate Malakhov’s wife on this.

Relatively recently, Natalya said that when the family is really expecting a new addition, the public will know about it.

Despite the huge number of media attempts to “spot” Shkuleva’s pregnancy, none of them were successful. The couple does not consider it necessary to hide such information.

Andrey Malakhov gave birth to a son

On November 16, 2017 at 23:30 Moscow time, Andrei Malakhov and Natalya Shkuleva had a son. The birth took place at the Lapino clinical hospital in the Moscow region. The boy was born healthy, his weight is a little more than 4 kg, his height is 54 cm. Mom and son feel great. Andrey says that the baby’s name will be chosen based on his character. It soon became known that.

How many godchildren does Malakhov have?

Andrei Malakhov loves his godchildren and does not forget to give them gifts and warmth when they meet.

However, the interesting moments in Andrei Malakhov’s personal life do not end there. He has children, but only godparents. In 2016, the journalist christened two more girls. The first two were the children of Philip Kirkorov, Martin and Alla Victoria. The children love their godfather very much, who often gives them interesting gifts.

Andrey Malakhov is the godfather of five children.

In addition, Malakhov also baptized the son of his close friend Boris. The TV presenter’s new “children” are the granddaughter of the producer of the “Let Them Talk” program Natalia Galkovich and the daughter of the winner of the project “On Vacation with Andrei Malakhov.” Only two weeks passed between the two sacraments of the cross. Andrey is happy to give the warmth of his soul to his godchildren.

Andrey Malakhov left Channel 1

The news that Andrei Malakhov was leaving Channel One spread across social networks on July 31, 2017. Journalist Egor Maksimov claims that the star TV presenter is moving to VGTRK, but at the moment they are denying these rumors.

Sources of the leading TV channel say that Andrei left, slamming the door, due to a conflict in the team of the talk show “Let Them Talk.” A possible reason is the appointment of a new producer and the selection of other journalists. Malakhov has not yet commented on the situation. Viewers refuse to believe that their favorite program will be left without a host, who currently occupies 30th place in the ranking of show business stars.

Interesting photos of Andrei and his wife Natalya Shkuleva appeared in some media. In the photographs taken during a holiday at the Cala Di Volpe hotel on the island of Sardinia, it is noticeable that Natasha is heavily pregnant. At the same time, the couple leads an active lifestyle, which is confirmed by their attendance at the gala dinner in honor of Gianluca Vacchi’s anniversary at the Billionaire club.

There have been suggestions that Malakhov will leave Channel 1 straight on maternity leave!

And again, sensational news - Malakhov’s “transfer” to Zenit, as reported by the football team itself. It is expected that the famous journalist will become the host of one of the television programs on the club TV of athletes from St. Petersburg.

Personal life and family of Natalia Shkuleva

Despite her busy media life, they learned about Natalya Shkuleva when she appeared in the showman’s company Andrey Malakhov.

Before radically changing his life, that is, before proposing to his bride, Malakhov introduced Natalya to Lyudmila Nikolaevna, by his mother, who had previously not approved of several of her son’s previous chosen ones. But the groom’s mother liked Natalya. And the TV presenter himself insisted that he couldn’t imagine another woman next to him.

The love affair did not distract Malakhov and Natalya Shkuleva from work. They were actively engaged in their professional activities.

Soon Andrei Malakhov and Natalya Shkuleva had a luxurious wedding in France (Versailles). The wedding celebration at the Palace of Versailles was attended by such media personalities as Valentin Yudashkin, Igor Krutoy and others. Photos from the event aroused increased interest among fans of the TV presenter.

Later, a few months later, Andrei Malakhov and his wife Natalya Shkuleva celebrated 100 days of married life in Paris.

The marriage of Andrei Malakhov and Natalya Shkuleva is considered one of the most private in domestic show business. The couple tries not to advertise the details of their personal life and have been protecting their personal space from the paparazzi and the public for several years now.

Nevertheless, for some reason the public is very concerned about whether the star couple will have offspring or not. Rumors about Shkuleva’s pregnancy have been spreading intensively since 2015. A message appeared on Malakhov’s Instagram that the family was expecting a child. However, Natalya refuted these rumors, saying that this Instagram of Andrei Malakhov is fake.

But in the summer of 2017, it became known from trustworthy sources that Andrei Malakhov and Natalya Shkuleva would soon become parents. Moreover, Andrei’s departure from Channel One was explained by his desire to “go on maternity leave.” The producer of Channel One allegedly gave him a choice: either he remains working in the company or becomes a babysitter. The journalist chose to pay attention to his family and leave work.

“Yes, Natasha and I are expecting our first child. I don’t know yet whether I will follow in the footsteps of the general director of the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater Vladimir Kekhman, who, after the birth of his fourth child, decided to go on maternity leave for as many as three years, or I will act according to a shortened version,” wrote the long-time host of the “Let Them Talk” program in StarHit magazine, where he holds the position of editor-in-chief.

At the same time, Andrei Malakhov admitted that he did not expect that the main news of the summer would be his “maternity leave.” In turn, Andrei Malakhov’s wife Natalya did not comment on press publications about her pregnancy for some time.

However, from the presenter’s letter to his former colleagues from Channel One, it became known that on the Rossiya channel he will host a new program “Andrei Malakhov. Live" and do Saturday shows. So, apparently, the maternity leave didn’t work out.

Andrei Malakhov’s wife apparently doesn’t mind, as she posted on Instagram an announcement of the “Live Broadcast” show on the Rossiya channel with a comic soundtrack in the form of Irina Allegrova’s composition “Hello, Andrei.”

Natalya Shkuleva is generally an active user of Instagram, and she often posts her photos and videos together with Andrei Malakhov. For example, Natalya captioned a video of a husband and wife reaching across a table with a kiss: “I met a guy on #tinder. I came on a date. I saw him somewhere... isn’t he a marriage swindler?”

Andrei Malakhov’s wife actively shares photos from joint travels with her husband. Witty captions are made with the aim of getting into the tabloid news, which is exactly what happens. For example, Natalya Shkuleva captioned a photo of herself and her husband in Arles: “We continue to collect material for a guide to nudist beaches in the south of France. This office issues membership cards for nudists in the city of Arles. #nudistsattack.”
