Santa Dimopoulos (full name - Santa Yanisovna Dimopoulos)- a famous Ukrainian singer was born into the family of a Ukrainian mother and an Assyrian father on May 21, 1987 in the capital of Ukraine (then still the Ukrainian USSR) - Kyiv. Since childhood, the girl began to get involved in sports and eventually became a master of sports in ballroom dancing.
In 2006, she participated in the Miss Ukraine Universe project and took 3rd place (out of 5), losing the victory to Inna Tsymbalyuk.
In addition to dancing, the new soloist of VIAGRA was also fond of singing and even performed as part of the Ukrainian group “Seventh Heaven”.
In 2009, she became a participant in the 7th Ukrainian Star Factory, which was then produced by Konstantin Meladze (also a producer of VIA Gra). But Santa didn’t last long there and was one of the first to leave.
Possessing excellent external data, Santa Dimopoulos even posed for men's magazines. Regular workouts at the fitness club help her look great - another Santa hobby that made her a world champion.
In October 2011, at the Asian World Championships in Bodybuilding and Fitness, held in Bangkok (Khrysanti Dimopulos) received first place in the category of female model physique over 165 centimeters. In the same year she graduated in absentia from the Faculty of Law of Kyiv University. T. G. Shevchenko
In December 2011, she became the soloist of the group “VIA Gra”, in which she took the place of Nadezhda Meikher-Granovskaya, who had left the group.
“I waited... for several years... When I just started taking my first steps on the pop stage, I always knew that I wanted to work only with Konstantin Meladze and I wanted to sing in a group that is the best, which simply has no analogues. The best songs, The best music, which you not only perform, but live on stage. And I know the songs of “VIA Gra” by heart; now I don’t even have to learn the words. I believe in luck, in the bird of happiness, in the fact that the stars converge somewhere and people get a chance to do what they have long wanted and what they have been striving for for so long.", - Santa Dimopoulos said joyfully.
In the summer of 2012, Santa gives a frank interview in which she admits that she decided to leave the VIA Gra group and pursue a solo career. A year after she began performing in the popular group of producer Konstantin Meladze, Santa considered that the time had come for a new stage in her development.
Personal life.
She was married to showman Andrei Dzhedzhula, to whom she gave birth to a son, Daniel, on October 29, 2008. He was born before Santa began participating in the Star Factory program. During the entire project, Andrei supported his beloved, came to almost every concert, and visited Santa in the “factory” house. In turn, Santa, after leaving the project, attended events where Dzhedzhula was the host, and kept him company at various social events.
The official history of their relationship says that Andrei Dzhedzhula and Santa Dimopoulos met at the birthday party of a mutual friend. On the very first evening, the couple kissed, and two weeks later they began to live together. But it never reached the registry office.
Andrey: We met four years ago at a mutual friend's birthday. Santa came there with a friend, and I was alone. Moreover, she later told me that she had no intention of going to this holiday...
Santa: It’s not that I wasn’t going to... It’s just that my friend and I decided to go at the very last moment, we were very tired.
Andrey: Santa was a very busy person back then: she studied, went to training... And I didn’t sit idle: I held a bunch of different events, important events, so I could barely stand on my feet. But despite this, we both still got to celebrate our birthday. There I first met her friend, and she, in turn, introduced me to Santa... First I saw Santa's friend and casually treated her... But she immediately said that she needed two cocktails. And then he turned, noticed Santa and said: “Two cocktails?” As soon as I looked at Santa, something inside told me that I was drawn to her.
But show business is a dirty thing. It's hard to argue with this truth. After some time, information begins to emerge in the press every now and then that famous people they neglect the concepts of fidelity, marriage, honesty and indulge in all serious things. A similar story happened with the model, and now the lead singer of the group “Via GRA” - Santa Dimopoulos, writes http://www.site
The breakdown of her relationship with TV presenter Andrei Dzhedzhula begins to excite the imagination of society. Photos appear in the media every now and then in which the ex-exemplary wife relaxes in the company of men. Santa returns from Egypt, where he spends four days in the company of singer and TV presenter Kishe. According to the official version, a member of the Ukrainian “Factory” Konstantina Meladze became the main character of the singer’s new video “Forget”. However, during a trip to the Sinai Peninsula, where the filming took place, it was clear that the couple behaved quite relaxed.
In May 2010, rumors of a breakup turned into facts. Andrei Dzhedzhula himself reports that they have officially broken up. “It’s true,” the showman admitted. Moreover, as it turned out, it was Santa who decided to break off the relationship. “I’m not the initiator - that’s what I’ll tell you,” he noted.
As for guardianship of Santa and Andrey’s one-and-a-half-year-old son Daniel, the couple decided to raise the baby together.
So who did Santa go to? According to the Ukrainian publication "Blik", Santa Dimopoulos left Dzhedzhuly for a young millionaire Vladimir Samsonenko (He is the owner of the VeraLife insurance company, enjoys boxing and social gatherings. Vladimir was married and lived in marriage for 9 years). At a beach party in the Dnepropetrovsk country club "Sunray", Santa drank champagne, danced and hugged the stepson of politician Valentina Semenyuk-Samsonenko - Vladimir.
– When Timati sang, Santa danced cheerfully and sang along, and Vladimir danced next to her. They were together all the time, holding hands, kissing, and at the end of the evening they poured champagne on the guests,” said the girl Valentina, who was at that party. Santa and Vladimir left the event long after midnight and also together. Vladimir is a rather attractive candidate for the role of the lover of a young singer and model. Just like his father, he has his own business and is recognized as one of the young millionaires of Ukraine. He is known for his ardent love for cars (especially the Ferarri brand). According to the singer, at first he did not make much of an impression on her, but was remembered for his extravagant act - dancing on her fur coat. As the artist admitted, she was captivated by Vladimir’s persistent courtship and attention.
Due to the fact that the ex-manufacturer’s new boyfriend is, to put it mildly, not a poor man, the couple’s vacation in 2012 was not limited to a week in Turkey in an all-inclusive format. Over the summer they visited Monaco, Saint-Tropez, Sardinia and Cannes.
And so, on September 18, 2012 they got married! The place to celebrate the first wedding day was the roof of the most luxurious and expensive restaurant in Rome at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Restaurant La Pergola is truly recognized as the best and most expensive in Rome. The wedding was closed; Santa and Vladimir chose to celebrate the event exclusively in the company of relatives and close friends. Dear guests were treated to spicy lobster, pigeon medallions, lobster carpaccio and exquisite cheeses. The second day of the wedding took place at the Odescalchi Orsini Castle, which is an architectural monument of the Renaissance. It is located in the Italian town of Bracciano, northwest of Rome, where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married in 2006.
