The personal life of Daria Yurgens began quite early - already as a student, she first married Yevgeny Dyatlov, an actor. The couple dated for four years, and lived for three in a complex, twisted official marriage. Later, the actress called the relationship with her first husband a mistake, said that she should not have married him at all, but she is glad that her beloved son Yegor remained from this marriage. It seems that the couple was simply not destined to be together: first, the financial difficulties of the early nineties, then constant betrayal. For some time, the husband of Daria Yurgens hid his relationship with a colleague, but in the end, he decided to confess, and this was a heavy blow for the actress. The couple tried to save the marriage, but it seemed like it was falling apart before our eyes.
In an interview, Daria says that it’s not even that they were both actors, but that if two people are not compatible, they can be anyone, and nothing will come of it, because passion recedes, and two people realize they made a mistake. During this difficult period for her marriage, she became interested in Yuri Shevchuk and entered into a short relationship with him, which served as the final impetus for breaking up with her first husband.
After the divorce, the actress found out that she was expecting a child. Her lover asked her to leave the theater and give birth, once again try to start a family, but Daria decided to have an abortion - for the sake of her career. After she admitted that it was one of the most terrible moments in her life, and if she could go back, she would never have done it.
Husband of Daria Yurgens photo
All the chosen ones of the actress were actors, public people, so the media always had enough traces left by her biography - here is a photo of Daria Yurgens' husband, here is Daria Yurgens with her husband and children. In an interview, she says that children are the best thing she has, and if there was something to go through a series of marriages and divorces for, then for this.
kinopoisk.ru When relations with Shevchuk fell apart after her abortion, she became infatuated with fellow actor Pyotr Zhuravlev. The second husband, Jurgens, made serious sacrifices for the sake of their newborn family - he left acting career and went into business to feed them in the harsh nineties. But this relationship was not destined to last forever. Seven years later, the actress lost interest in her partner, and later said that she simply could not lie to him, remaining close only out of habit, not loving. Having confessed everything to her husband, Daria filed for divorce.
After this marriage, a series of rumors about an affair swarmed around her name with one eminent colleague, then with another, but neither the actress nor her representatives confirmed any of them. Until finally, on the set of "Sea Devils", Daria Yurgens met her last husband and great love. Sergey Velikanov did stunts for Daria for the film, which made her even more successful, and personally coached her to maintain the form necessary for filming in the film.
Daria is not shy about telling and showing on her Twitter how happy she is now, and how she hopes that this is forever. Jurgens and her husband live and work together, share a home and work projects, and raise children together. Her son from his first marriage went to his parents and is making a fairly successful film career. Daria laughs that she didn’t help and is not going to help her child in his field, since “the son of Dyatlov and Yurgens” is already a certain level of expectations that he needs to learn to withstand on his own.
Daria Yurgens (until the early 2000s Lesnikova) was born in Siberia in January 1968. But in the snowy Tomsk passed early years life of the future actress. But Daria grew up already near the warm Sea of Azov: childhood and youth fell on life in Mariupol. This Southern City the actress loves today, considering him to be her own.
Daria's parents served in the local drama theater, and her daughter often watched the work from behind the scenes. The girl saw the festive atmosphere, armfuls of flowers from fans and all the difficulties of the craft, the "wrong side" of acting. Therefore, the daughter of two theater actors dreamed not of the stage, but of the profession of a veterinarian.
Daria Yurgens was seriously fond of sports, choosing fencing for herself. At the age of 14, the girl almost became a candidate for master of sports, but at one of the competitions she was disqualified due to an incorrect reception made by a rapier.
The girl also did not have a relationship with school disciplines. But, oddly enough, a career in the theater developed successfully. For the first time, the little actress appeared on stage at an unconscious age: wrapped in rags, Dasha, who was a few months old, was carried onto the stage in the play “Virgin Soil Upturned”. For the second time, the girl entered the stage of the theater on her own: at the age of 10, she played Anyuta in the play "The Power of Darkness".
Thus, Daria Yurgens, having received a school certificate, had no choice: the road led only to the stage. The girl went to Leningrad, with which the family had a long history. Mom and grandmother were born in this city, having left their small homeland during the blockade years. Dad studied at a theater university on Mokhovaya, and great-grandfather was a teacher at the Mikhailovsky Artillery Academy. Later, Yurgens admitted that she was always drawn to this city, and the actress felt an invisible connection with the Northern capital.
Daria entered LGITMiK as a free listener, as she missed one and a half points due to an unimportantly written essay. The girl liked to study, but there was nowhere to live. The future artist wandered around friends. It happened that I had to spend the night in the audience.
In 1990, Daria Yurgens received a diploma from a theater university and went on to pursue a theatrical career.
Theatre
The creative biography of Daria Yurgens, if you do not take into account the children's appearances on stage at the Mariupol Drama Theater, began at the St. Petersburg Youth Theater. The talent in the young actress was able to consider the main director of the troupe Semyon Spivak. Almost immediately, the director began to trust Jurgens with prominent roles.
The first performances in which the theater-goers saw the artist were Medea, Screams from Odessa, The Death of Van Halen and Lunar Wolves. Later, Daria Yurgens even got a role in Shakespeare's "".
The artist almost never "cheated" on the youth theater. When Daria received offers from other St. Petersburg theaters, the actress refused every time. But one day she agreed to play Olivia in Twelfth Night: the girl really liked the classic images. The play premiered at the Bolshoi Drama Theater and was a success.
The only thing that did not suit the artist in her work was a tiny salary, for which she could hardly make ends meet.
Films
Daria Yurgens understood that wide popularity most often comes to those actors who appear on the screen. Once the girl decided to try her luck in cinema and went to the casting for director Alexei Balabanov. And luck smiled at the girl. Yurgens first starred in a cameo role in Balabanov's film "About freaks and people." The director liked the game of this young actress, because soon the director offered Daria new job in project. Yes, even in what. This, of course, is about the legendary film "Brother 2", in which Jurgens starred in a number of scenes with.
After the release of this cult project on Russian screens, all the participants in the film woke up famous. Including Daria Yurgens, who got the role of a Russian prostitute named "Marilyn". Filming took place in America.
"Brother 2" turned out to be a real springboard for the actress into the world of Russian cinema. Daria was noticed and began to be invited to various series, and for diverse roles.
In addition to participating in Balabanov's films, the actress starred in the first season of "", then appeared in the serial film "House of Hope". In addition to drama and tragicomedy, detectives began to appear in the actress's filmography - "Mole-2", "NLS Agency", "Golden Bullet Agency" and "Landscape with Murder".
Daria Yurgens in the series "Cop Wars" In 2003, with the participation of Daria, the melodrama "Women's Romance" was released, in which the main characters were played by and. Daria Yurgens reincarnated in the film about love as the heroine Nadia. In episodic roles, the actress appeared in the series "Dancer", "Italian". In the second season of Cop Wars, she reincarnated as investigator Ekaterina Khmelev. The filmography of the actress was also replenished with work in the rating project "Gangster Petersburg - 8", where the actress appeared in the form of a female bodyguard.
Personal life
The first husband of Daria Yurgens was famous actor. But at the moment when the young people got married (and this was the 4th year of the theater university), they were two unknown students. The couple lived together for 3 years. In this marriage, the son Yegor managed to be born.
The reason for the separation was the betrayal of her husband. Eugene had an affair with a colleague named Angelica, with whom the actor served in the Buff Theater. At first, he hid the relationship on the side, but one day he confessed. According to Daria, this betrayal is "the most terrible", the girl at that time experienced severe stress. The couple tried to save the marriage, but to no avail.
Before the divorce, when the family was already in trouble, Daria had a short romance with a rock singer. She was the first to take a step towards parting with her husband. After some time, Jurgens found out about the pregnancy. Yuri insisted that her beloved leave the theater, devoting herself to the family, but Daria decided to have an abortion, which she still regrets.
The personal life of Daria Yurgens has undergone changes after some time. She reciprocated the feelings of the actor Peter Zhuravlev. The man left the stage for the sake of his family and went into trade. But the feelings cooled down, and Dasha did not want to live because of affection, by inertia.
The actress met her fate on the set of "Sea Devils". This series brought Daria a long-term job in the cinema and love. Sergey Velikanov was involved in the series as a stunt coordinator and personal trainer for Jurgens. Now the couple is constantly together - both at home and on the set.
Daria Yurgens has a daughter, Alexandra. The actress does not say who the girl's father is. The girl considers Sergei Velikanov to be her father.
Son Yegor followed in his parental footsteps. The young man became an actor in the Buff Theater. Yegor Lesnikov married a colleague from the puppet theater and recently made Daria and Evgeny Dyatlov grandparents.
The Russian actress was born on January 20, 1968 in the Siberian city of Tomsk. However, only the first years of Jurgens' life passed there. Dasha spent all her childhood and youth on the coast of the warm Azov Sea, in the Ukrainian town of Mariupol. The actress fell in love with this place very much, and still considers this seaside city her true homeland.
The girl was lucky to be born in a family of theater actors. Her parents performed on the stage of the local drama theater, and Dasha got used to living behind the scenes, watching the performances of her parents.
At the same time, she saw not only the beautiful side of the acting profession with its festive atmosphere and audience love, but also the reverse side of this difficult craft. That's why Jurgens never wanted to be an actress: In her dreams she saw herself as a veterinarian.
In addition, Dasha was seriously engaged in a noble sport - fencing. The girl was able to achieve serious success in it and went to the candidate for the master of sports, however, due to a prohibited reception, she was disqualified at one of the important competitions.
At school, Jurgens was a very mediocre student: the main school subjects did not want to be given to her. However, the theater accepted her into its arms immediately and unconditionally. While still a baby a few months old, Dasha first appeared on stage in the production of Virgin Soil Upturned.
Conscious speeches began at the age of ten. Thus, Dasha had no choice but to continue the dynasty of her parents and become a professional actress.
Student years
Having received a school certificate in her hands, Dasha went to Leningrad. Her family had a lot of memories connected with this city: her grandmother and mother were born here, but during the blockade they were forced to leave their beloved city.
In addition, Dasha's father studied in Leningrad, and great-grandfather taught at the artillery academy. When the question arose about entering a theater university, at the family council, no one doubted that it was worth choosing LGITMiK.
The girl failed to immediately enter the coveted theater university because of a poorly written essay. In order not to waste time in vain, she nevertheless entered, but already as a free listener.
The girl really liked to study, but the joy was overshadowed by everyday difficulties. Dasha simply had nowhere to live: like a gypsy, she constantly wandered around friends, and sometimes spent the night within the walls of an educational institution.
In 1990, Yurgens, having received the coveted diploma of LGITMiK, began working in the theater.
Theatrical career
My creative biography Yurgens began with the St. Petersburg Youth Theater, where she began performing immediately after graduating from a theater university. Noticing great potential in the aspiring actress, director Semyon Spivak began to trust her with significant roles.
The first performances of Yurgens were the productions of "Screams from Odessa", "Medea", "Moon Wolves". In Shakespeare's imperishable Othello, she was entrusted with the role of Desdemona.
The actress remained faithful to the Youth Theater for a long time., and almost always refused offers from other St. Petersburg theaters to perform on their stage. Only once did she change her principles when she agreed to embody the image of Olivia in Twelfth Night at the Bolshoi Drama Theater. The actress has always had a weakness for classical productions, and this performance was a great success with the public.
Filmography
Jurgens really liked working in the theater: it was there that she could develop her creative potential, fill her soul with light and beauty, and experience strong emotions. The only negative was the tiny salary, which with great difficulty made it possible to make ends meet.
In order to somehow improve financial situation, Daria decided to try her luck in Russian cinema. At the casting with director Alexei Balabanov, luck smiled at the actress, and she got a role in the film "About Freaks and People."
The director liked the work of Jurgens so much that the next time he offered her a role in the now cult film "Brother 2".
It is not surprising that after the release of this picture, Daria gained great popularity: she was invited to various projects, and she agreed, thus wanting to consolidate her success.
In the television series "Sea Devils" Jurgens also got an interesting role. She played a heroine nicknamed Bagheera. To cope with the role, the actress had to take scuba diving lessons and learn how to drive a car famously.
Among successful work with the participation of Daria, it is worth noting the series "Kamenskaya", the crime films "Cop Wars" and "Foundry", the melodramas "House by the Big River", "Italian".
Currently, Jurgens continues to work in his beloved Youth Theater, to which she managed to stick with her soul for many years.
The actress never hides her age, and is not going to go under the surgeon's knife for the sake of prolonging her youth.
On the contrary, she wants to age naturally and naturally in order to be able to play the characteristic age roles.
Personal life
For the first time, Daria tied the knot while still a student. Her chosen one was the actor Yevgeny Dyatlov - the same young and as yet unknown actor, like herself. The couple lived together for only three years, having managed to become the parents of the boy Yegor. The birth of a baby did not save the marriage, in which each of the spouses embarked on the path of infidelity.
In his personal life, Jurgens had many novels, which most often flared up like a spark, and just as quickly went out. The actress had a daughter, Alexandra, but she never advertised who is the father of her girl.
The actress met her true love on the set of the series "Sea Devils". Her heart was won by the stunt coordinator Sergey Velikanov, with whom she immediately found a common language. The couple is now all their own free time spends together and is very happy.

In November 2001, Yurgens, as chairman of the VSS, joined the board of directors of the ROSNO insurance company. At the same time, the press noted that before Yurgens, no one combined activities on the board of directors of an insurance company and management public organization, which lobbies the interests of all Russian insurers.

Alexander Koval, deputy of the State Duma of the third convocation from the Unity faction, became the new president of the VSS. Meanwhile, the media also associated Yurgens' departure with his election as vice president of the RSPP.

In January 2005, Yurgens, leaving the post of executive secretary of the RSPP, became the first vice-president of the Renaissance Capital investment company. In response to the question why he went into the investment business, and not into the insurance sector he was familiar with, Yurgens noted that the group's activities "are at the junction" of all the "processes in the economy" that interest him. In "Renaissance Capital" he, having become "the fourth member of the team of lobbyists" of the company (along with the managing director of the group Yuri Kobaladze, the head of the supervisory board Alexander Shokhin and the head of the direction for working with government and state organizations Oleg Kiselev), was engaged in "banks and investment direction" .

In March of the same year, the elected president of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, headed the board of trustees of INSOR, and Yurgens became the chairman of the board. Yurgens later said that the launch of INSOR took place "under the phrase of President Medvedev: do not lick the authorities, write what you think." Subsequently, INSOR was called a "brain trust" or "thought factory" under President Medvedev: the institute made presentations, proposing reforms in the field of pension legislation, health care, noted the need for a radical liberalization of the political system in Russia, held seminars on economic issues, analyzed the financial crisis, etc. At the same time, according to Yurgens, no INSOR programs, except for "Finding the Future. Strategy 2012. Synopsis", were not considered anywhere and did not become public. Yurgens was described in the media as a person close to President Medvedev. Quite often, Yurgens, speaking out with criticism of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, appeared in the press as an adviser to the head of state. Meanwhile, the media, in particular, the Polit-online resource, drew attention to the fact that Yurgens officially did not have the position or rank of an adviser and was not listed among the "officially appointed advisers and assistants".

At the same time, he was not a member of the party, which was called the “Kremlin project” in the press: according to the charter of Right Cause, “citizens of the Russian Federation who are not members of the political parties".

In February 2009, Yurgens joined the Council approved by President Medvedev to promote the development of civil society institutions and human rights. Yurgens left this council in June 2012.
In April 2010, Yurgens left Renaissance Capital, becoming a senior adviser for Russia and the CIS at CJSC Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS)].
