Today, singer and former lead singer of the group “Brilliant” Zhanna Friske would have turned 44 years old. And she has not been with us for three years now. We tell you how her family lives all this time.
Vladimir Friske vs. Dmitry Shepelev
The conflict between Zhanna's common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev (35) and the singer's family began immediately after her death. Vladimir Friske (66) walked from one Ostankino pavilion to another and gave interviews to all possible talk shows, in which he stated: Shepelev does not allow the family to see Plato, the son of Dima and Zhanna.
Dmitry Shepelev and Plato
In particular, he accused Shepelev of not bringing Plato to Zhanna’s funeral. Dmitry later explained that a few days before his wife’s death he took his son to Bulgaria: “It’s not his fault that my mother got sick. Should he see his mother die? Should he see the tragedy in the eyes of Jeanne's parents, in mine? Should he see my tears? Who can answer this question? We didn't plan our lives for the future. I knew the main thing: a child should have a childhood, a child should have a summer. Nobody knew when the last farewell day would come. We had been talking for a long time, planning for a long time, and a month before, tickets were purchased so that the boy could go to the seaside.”
Vladimir Friske
At first, Shepelev did not comment in any way on Vladimir Borisovich’s statements that Plato was being limited in communication with his family. He made his first official statement after Friske appeared at the entrance to his house. “My son Platon Shepelev and I were attacked on Monday at three o’clock in the afternoon at our residence address,” Shepelev said. Komsomolskaya Pravda" – There were about six attackers, most of them were representatives of Caucasian nationality. These people were accompanied by Jeanne's father. The goal of these people was to physically harm me. And the most important and severe thing is that they wanted to kidnap the child.”
And in an interview with Andrei Malakhov (46), he still dotted the i’s: “I told my grandparents: “Don’t abandon your grandson. You know my phone number, you know where we live and where the playground is.” “We won’t go, bring it to us,” they said. And instead of going to see their grandson, they went to court so that the court would determine the order of communication. The court appointed: one and a half hours a month. Is this normal for a family? Not normal. But the court assessed the actions of the grandparents: threats, meetings and the amount of attention they devoted to their grandson.”
Vladimir Friske vs. "Rusfond"
When Zhanna fell ill, Channel One organized a collection of money for her treatment together with Rusfond - it came out to a little more than 25 million rubles. Only four were spent on treating Friske (and this is officially documented), but the rest were simply .
Dmitry Shepelev and Plato
The singer’s family claims: with Rusfond’s money, Shepelev built a house in an elite area of the Moscow region. But Dima has a different version: “By the time of Zhanna’s death, there should have been 21 million left in the account. The news that they were not there came as much of a shock to me as it did to the whole country. I didn't manage the accounts. And why the unclaimed amount was not returned to the account charitable foundation, also nothing to say. I am not the Investigative Committee and I cannot influence its work in any way. For my part, I think: the investigation must be completed and an end must be put. You are right, people who transferred money for treatment have the right to know the fate of this money. “I continue to insist and say that Vladimir withdrew the money,” said Dmitry. - This money is the equivalent of love for Zhanna. With this money, people from all over the country supported a seriously ill girl. Therefore, you need to account for every penny. Just imagine how many seriously ill children could have been saved with these 20 million. 10 days before Zhanna’s death, her mother withdrew the entire amount from the account. In addition, not only Rusfond’s money was withdrawn, but also Zhanna’s personal funds. All accounts were emptied. “I don’t understand how it was possible, seeing his dying daughter, to think about money and leave his grandson without the lion’s share of the inheritance,” Dmitry said and showed an official document from the bank confirming that Zhanna’s mother withdrew the Rusfond funds.

Dmitry Shepelev is an attractive, charismatic and highly gifted TV presenter. How his personal life turned out after the death of his beloved woman Zhanna Friske, let's find out in more detail.
The TV and radio presenter, originally from Minsk (Belarus), captivated many viewers with his attractive appearance and charisma. Most will recognize this one young man from such popular TV programs: "Guten Morgen", "Make the Comedian Laugh", "Minute of Fame", " Star Factory Russia-Ukraine" and others.
According to some sources, Friske and Shepelev first met during the filming of a television program " Property of the Republic"(2009). A lightning romance began between them, despite the fact that the singer is 9 years older than her beau. For a long time, the couple hid their relationship, and answered annoying journalists that there were only friendly relations between them. But, the paparazzi very often lovers were seen together and their friendship was questioned.
Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske
According to media reports, the couple stopped hiding their relationship only after the birth of their son Plato (in April 2013). This year former soloist group "Brilliant" first learned about her terrible illness. Dima rushed headlong to save his beloved: he collected money, looked for the best clinic for treatment and answered questions from journalists about the state of her health.
Plato
For some time it seemed that the disease had subsided: Zhanna was on the mend, little Plato grew up and pleased his parents. There are rumors that the couple was even going to legalize their marriage and were already selecting a wedding date. But something irreparable happened...
Let us remind you that everyone’s favorite singer Zhanna Friske died on June 15, 2015 in his home from glioblastoma (brain tumor). No matter how much Zhannochka was treated and no matter how she fought, the terrible disease still won. It took the life of a young mother, beloved wife and talented artist.

Dima was terribly worried after Zhanna's death. Heartbroken, he disappeared from television screens for some time, stopped posting photos on Instagram and communicating with the press. Rumor has it that for some time the guy even sought solace in alcohol and reading books, but this did not help. In order to somehow pour out his soul, Shepelev began keeping a diary and writing letters to his beloved. After that, it became a little easier.
Personal life today
Today, the personal life of Dmitry Shepelev is very confusing and very hidden. Always a cheerful and active young man, after the death of his beloved wife, he changed a lot - he closed himself off from society and communicates very little with journalists.
According to the media, a short time after the death of his wife, the guy began to often appear at home - Oksana Stepanova (best friend Friske, personal cosmetologist). Some sources believe it was his new girl after Jeanne's death. Jeanne's father also condemns this relationship. But what kind of relationship this is is not completely clear. After all, neither Dmitry nor Oksana herself want to communicate with the press or give any comments. And many see nothing wrong with the fact that a best friend helps raise a child and morally supports her husband.
And recently, the sister of the deceased artist Natalia Kopylova, denied all the rumors about the fact that Dima has a girlfriend and that he is in a relationship with Oksana Stepanova. According to the media, in one of her interviews Natalya said that all these rumors are real nonsense, because Oksana has been married for a long time, she has children and even a grandson. And the grief-stricken father is not in any relationship, because he still has not recovered, feels bad and is not mentally ready for new love affairs.

The media found out that ex-husband Friske Shepelev secretly works on Ukrainian TV and meets with an ex-member of the group " VIA Gra".
Secrets of the Friske family, news for today, June 2, 2016: the singer’s ex-husband Shepelev hid Plato for six months, despite the court’s decision
TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev violated a resolution obliging him to allow Zhanna Friske’s family to see three-year-old Plato, according to the decision of the guardianship commission. The lawyer of the Friske family, who participated in the proceedings, told Life about this. According to the lawyer, the decision came into force on November 15, 2015, but the child’s father ignored it until April 2016, preventing the family from meeting with Plato.
According to him, initially the guardianship and trusteeship authorities in the Presnensky district of Moscow established that relatives could see Plato 4 times a month. At the same time, the grandmother has the right to communicate with her grandson on the first and fourth Mondays of the month for four hours. Every second Friday evening, for two hours, Plato must spend time in the company of Olga and Vladimir Friske, and every fourth Friday - with his grandmother and aunt Natalya Friske.
On weekends, namely on the first and third Saturdays, every morning Plato should begin with communication with his grandparents, who should look after him until lunch. Also, every fourth Sunday, the entire Friske family has the right to spend leisure time with the child, having discussed the place and time in advance with Shepelev.
The lawyer for the Friske family emphasized that due to the fact that Dmitry Shepelev refused to follow the decision of the commission on guardianship and trusteeship of the Presnensky district of Moscow, the relatives were forced to appeal to the Khamovnichesky district court, from where they were redirected to the department social protection population of Khamovniki. On December 16, 2015, the commission made a new decision, according to which Vladimir Borisovich Friske was allowed to communicate with his grandson only once a month - every 3rd Monday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the presence of security and a child psychologist.
Regarding the mother of the late singer and sister, the situation has not changed. However, even after the case was reconsidered, Friske’s relatives did not receive the long-awaited meeting.
Shepelev allowed them to do this only eight months later, in April 2016, on the child’s birthday. The meeting took place in the presence of security and a child psychologist, although this was not at all necessary. “Shepelev was constantly rude to Natalya and Olga Vladimirovna, so the meeting did not last long. He also insisted that he would not allow his grandfather to see Plato, “until he changes.” I don’t know what changes he wants to see, apparently he wants the family she knelt in front of him and begged him to let them see Plato,” the lawyer said.
Vladimir Friske himself told Life that he would achieve punishment for Shepelev. The 57-year-old father of the late singer said that he had filed a new lawsuit against his son-in-law for non-compliance with the commission's decision on guardianship.

Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske
From an interview with Dmitry Shepelev about the death of Zhanna Friske:
“Jeanne will forever remain a deep, unique, true happiness for me.”.
- In the media, doctors claim that you knew that Zhanna had only 2 days to live. Why didn't you stay in Moscow?
It is not true. More than once there were consultations with doctors who observed Zhanna for a long time: doctors from the USA, Germany, Russia. There were quite a lot of them. Many have reported that it seems we have lost this fight. But no one had the opportunity to tell exact time. It was known more than a month ago that I would take Plato on vacation. We issued visas and bought tickets, arrived here on Sunday, and the next day Zhanna was gone. I stayed with her during the last two years of her life, and being near her now is important, but we must not forget about the child.
During our departure, Zhanna was in an identical state last month. It was impossible to predict such a sharp deterioration in his condition. I can only thank fate for the fact that our child did not see all these terrible incidents. He is 2 years and 2 months old and has no place at funeral ceremonies.
- Does he understand what happened to mom?
We didn't talk to him about this. I will inform him about all this myself after a while. But not now. What I want most is for my son to be embraced by love. Fortunately, he has 2 wonderful grandmothers and 2 wonderful grandfathers. We are all connected by the main thing - love for Plato. We will definitely be with him. I have already mentioned our rule: I, Zhanna and Plato should be good. Plato is treated well, so I don't find this question suitable. Everything will be fine.
After the death of Zhanna Friske, Shepelev regularly has scandals with the singer’s family over little Plato.
Dmitry Shepelev and son Platon
According to rumors, after the death of Zhanna Friske.
As an epigraph on the back of the book, Shepelev wrote: “The bright life of the singer Zhanna Friske, filled with love and peace, was instantly crossed out by the diagnosis of cancer, turning the darling of millions from a symbol of beauty into a patient whose health is closely monitored by the whole world. It’s hard to get sick. .Be sick under close attention- unbearable. This is a book about the first public, albeit involuntary, experience of confronting the disease in Russia, about the dignity and strength with which the fragile Zhanna accepted a mortal battle. I really hope that this book will be useful to those who are struggling themselves or helping a loved one. It will be able to support those who are desperate, and, perhaps, will inspire faith in the miracle of salvation. This book is about the test of illness, about how it changes the rosy and familiar world. About resistance. And, of course, this is also a love story, without which any battle would hardly have any meaning."
Since the spring of 2017, rumors have appeared about Dmitry Shepelev’s affair with Ekaterina Tulupova. She came to Moscow from Yekaterinburg. A businesswoman opened the studio “Arch. Subject”, and then created the women’s club “Creative Breakfasts”. From time to time Tulupova works in her own workshop “Okrasheno”. Ekaterina has a daughter, Lada, from a previous relationship, who is almost the same age as Plato.
As Dmitry said, their children introduced them: “Our children went to one kindergarten and introduced us. Plato and Lada - best friends from a very early age."
In 2018, it became known that the couple was living together. In November 2019, it became known that they were planning to get married.
Shepelev has been fond of sports since childhood. He was involved in swimming and water polo, devoted 6 years to professional sports - played tennis, entered the top 10 junior tennis players in Belarus. Now he occasionally goes on court with Yuri Nikolaev. In his free time, Dmitry travels a lot. Shepelev traveled all over Europe, spent three weeks exploring the United States in the summer of 2009 (travel notes about this trip were published by ELLE magazine), and dreams of circumnavigating the Earth under sail.
In 2010, he took piano lessons at the Moscow Art Theater School and began learning to play the piano in the same year. In winter he snowboards, in summer he surfs.
Dmitry Shepelev about sports and healthy eating:
“There is an opinion that TV presenters have no fat under a layer of makeup. And this is true. But this is achieved by an active lifestyle and proper nutrition. For example, I have been familiar with sports since childhood. I played tennis at school, ballroom dancing, swam, played water polo... I run in the morning. I train in the evenings: I work out with a boxing coach, play tennis, and swim. In winter I go snowboarding. I follow my diet carefully. More than six eclairs per evening - no, no! And, consider that I don’t drink alcohol at all. A bottle for the evening. As they say, I know my norm. Just a joke, of course.
In general, I drink a lot of water... I drink water. Frequently and greedily.
As for nutrition, I eat three to four times a day. Often, but little by little. I don't overeat. I get up from the table a little hungry. What is said about eating after six in the evening, in my opinion, is nonsense. It is important to eat according to your own rhythm of life. Bread is rarely found in my diet. I hardly eat desserts. And this continues until I go to visit my parents. Yesterday there were potato pies with meat and... cream sauce with champignons. Pumpkin puree soup. Dumplings with cherries. A humble banana curd pie. Berry mousse. A! And also liver pate. In general, I'm in excellent shape! I'm watching! In general, happiness lies in living in pleasure. You can’t deny yourself if you really really want to. True, we should not forget that, unfortunately, in what gives pleasure, most often there is absolutely no benefit."
