Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov, together with their Yorkshire terrier Melya and Jack Russell terrier Rico, met the HELLO! film crew. on the threshold of his country house. About personal space life together and a stamp in the passport - the creative couple said in an interview.
Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov
About personal space
Julia. It is important for Lesha to have the opportunity to be alone. I didn't always understand this. But, as I got a little older, I suddenly discovered that I myself needed personal space. I need minutes and sometimes hours of silence. Here in country house we can afford it. We have many rooms, some kind of nooks where you can retire and not disturb each other.
About life outside the city
Julia. I've been in Moscow since I was 18 years old. For a long time I lived in the center, in the Arbat area. And I thought that suburban housing is important when you already have big family, children. But I really wanted to try living outside the city, and I tried. A week after we left Moscow, we realized that we didn’t want to return to the city. It's easy to breathe here, there's a lot of space, here we wake up in silence.
Alexey. For me, the main thing is comfort. Here we can invite big companies friends. The girls are cutting something in the kitchen and making pilaf. We smoke hookah and discuss the news. Then we sit down and have dinner together. Isn't this a thrill?
About your favorite place in the house
Alexey. Bed. (Laughs). In general, we like to sit near the fireplace and watch a good movie.

About the new album
Alexey. The album was recorded in Los Angeles. A large team of musicians worked on it, who may not be so well known to the mass public, but among professionals they evoke respectable awe. For example, Quincy Jones is less known than Michael Jackson. But it was he who helped Jackson record one of his most global albums - Bad. Or Kevin White, who is Lenny Kravitz's sound producer. Michael Ripple is an iconic bass player who works for Stevie Wonder and was supposed to be Michael Jackson's guitarist in his last show in London. I am very proud of this work and hope that my fans will appreciate it.
About the show "One to One"
Alexey. I'm actually very wary of being on different game shows. Since I passed" People's Artist", which brought me fame wherever I visited - on the ice, in the ring, and at the rodeo in the Big Races. But participating in those projects did not bring me as much pleasure as this one. Still, I am a professional a singer, not a boxer or a figure skater. The show “One on One” allows you to reveal yourself as a performer. The task of the participants is not to parody the star - to go out and make faces to the soundtrack, but to get into the character as accurately as possible.
Alexey Chumakov
About the secret of relationships
Alexey. It seems to me that this is some kind of karmic predisposition to be together. And then, there is a feeling of habit, a feeling of fear of causing pain to a loved one, responsibility for it.
Julia. We face the same problems as ordinary, average couples. But we are both busy with creativity - this is rather a plus. As the experience of my previous relationships shows, it is difficult for a man in a non-creative profession to understand my work schedule. I can go to a corporate event at night and return in the morning. Creative people are special, they are more emotional, subject to frequent mood changes. This needs to be understood and accepted. I confess that the ability to compromise has become the most serious discovery in my life. Because I'm really very stubborn. I am Scorpio. Every time I fight, argue, defend my opinion. With Lesha, I often have to go against my feelings, to be cunning like a woman. But even if I get involved in a quarrel, I am always the first to make peace. Lesha appreciates this. He sees how hard it is for me to sometimes step over myself, and mentally gives me pluses for it. My man is very wise - he knows everything perfectly.
About marriage
Julia. I believe that a stamp in a passport is not an indicator of love and stability. But I understand that for a man to tell a woman “be my wife” is very stressful. (Smiles.) I respect men who decide to propose to their women, no matter how long the marriage lasts. We are in no hurry with this. We are young. We are engaged interesting thing. The very fact that we have been together for five years is an indicator of how much we value each other. I doubt that our lives will somehow change if we suddenly decide to formalize the relationship. But, as Lesha says, we’ll wait and see.

Fragile blonde, ex-soloist of the group “Brilliant”, popular host of various shows, Yulia Kovalchuk, long ago and not so long ago married her stage colleague Alexei Chumakov. The relationship between the two bright stars of Russian show business has lasted for almost ten years, which is a serious period for the free morals of this world.
How it all began
Before Alexey Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk started living together, they had known each other for five years. At the same time, Yulia considered Alexey to be a representative of a non-traditional orientation.
Although Yulia has noted Alexey for herself since the time of the “People’s Artist” project, in which the singer participated at the dawn of his career. Julia always liked this type of man.
They began to communicate on the project “Dancing on Ice. Velvet Season" in 2007. One day, Yulia unexpectedly opened up and admitted to a stranger at that time, a colleague on the project Alexey Chumakov, that she wanted to leave Blestyashchie. Quite unexpectedly for the girl, Alexey supported her: “You will succeed.”
After the project, he invited the singer to his concert, and she invited him to the presentation. After one of the events, Alexey Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk met at the after-party - and that’s it, chemistry arose!
Long road to the registry office
Despite the chemistry, the lovers did not formalize their relationship for a long time. At first, they completely hid their romance, but the world of show business is small, and they still had to show their cards.
In numerous interviews, Yulia noted that the stamp in the passport is not the main thing, it is not a guarantee of a happy life. family life and loyalty.
Alexey admitted that he sometimes noticed that Yulia was waiting for this step from him, but he himself was not ready.
He said that Yulia was a smart girl, and never even started talking about marriage.
Perhaps she immediately realized that Alexei could not be put under pressure. A man brought up in Eastern traditions (Alexey from Samarkand), he always believed that a man should make serious decisions himself.
Julia just waited patiently and waited.
This happened shortly after the couple purchased a house in Spain, on the Costa Brava. The young people began to spend several months a year together - the sea, sun, romance did their job, and Alexey proposed to Yulia.
They got married in 2013 in one of the Moscow registry offices. There were no witnesses, no guests, only the bride and groom. They signed and kissed. “Hey, you, husband!”, -, !Hey, you, wife!” We jumped out of the registry office; it was raining outside.
The wedding took place in Spain in an old Catalan mansion.
Julia's pregnancy and the birth of her daughter
In 2017, the public learned that stars Alexey Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk were expecting an addition to the family. The couple was in their own spirit - they hid this fact until the last. Julia actively performed, starred in a video, and recorded an album. And when the girl’s shape acquired very unambiguous shapes, the artists decided to interview Vadim Vernik.
Alexey said that his wife behaves “like a real man” during pregnancy, no whims and messages for cucumbers in the desert. Yulia said that Alexey is very supportive of her, always finds the right words to calm down.

It soon became known that Alexey Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk became parents: a girl was born to the couple in one of the Moscow clinics. The happy mother posted a photo of her little heels on Instagram, and Alexey congratulated his wife on the release of a new video clip for the song “The Sky in Your Eyes,” in which pregnant Julia starred.
Family life and trust
At the very beginning of the relationship, the lovers agreed that everything would be built only on trust. Alexey has a lot of fans, Julia has also always been the center of attention of men. When two such bright, attractive and popular people begin to live together, it is simply impossible to do otherwise than on trust.
They also had their own agreements. If neither he nor she is on tour, then they always spend the night together. For some time they lived outside the city, and the journey took about three hours. Despite this, the young always tried to get home.
One day, during intense filming in the “One on One” project, Alexey called and said that he was staying overnight in Moscow, at a hotel. Julia only doubted for a second, but then pulled herself together. The filming was indeed difficult; the makeup process alone took several hours.
Interesting notes:Alexey Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk admit that trust is not easy for them beautiful words. Spouses practically do not give each other reasons for jealousy. Even scandal-hungry reporters are unable to catch them cheating.
Once on Instagram, Julia jokingly posted a photo against the backdrop of a tree, the branches looked like antlers. “My husband cheated on me. He says just once." Subscribers did not understand the humor, and began to discuss with all their might the unfaithful Alexei, and the unscrupulous homewreckers, and in general, “men-goats.” Julia noted that this was just a joke, but the fans could not be stopped.
The creativity of the star couple overlaps, but not in terms of music. Alexey says that Yulia has her own audience - young and reckless, like herself. Alexey has a more restrained, thoughtful audience. Therefore, the couple does not arrange joint concerts.
Meanwhile, they starred in the film “I’ll Get Married Urgently,” where they played the main roles. The script was written for them, but the couple made a requirement - a separate dressing room. Because you can’t be together 24 hours a day. Especially spouses. Perhaps this is the secret of the couple's longevity.
Musicians Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov spoke for the first time about their joyful anticipation: very soon they will become parents.

On the eve of the happy event, the spouses Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov met and talked with the editor-in-chief of OK! Vadim Vernik. Julia was the first to arrive at the meeting. Lyosha appeared a little later: he is working in the studio on a new album.
Julia, are you driving yourself?
In Spain I often travel by myself, but in Moscow I travel with a driver. And I am ready to erect a monument to all pregnant girls who even get to the maternity hospital on their own, since this is physically very difficult. And this happens - I know.
Why did you need to drive in Spain yourself?
How why? I absolutely love driving and enjoy the process, especially when it’s the traffic-free roads of the Costa Brava and my mother is sitting next to me. But in the presence of my husband, I am always just a passenger. Perhaps he is the only one I completely trust, and in my current situation it is also much more convenient. Moreover, this was the first such a long vacation in my life.
You know, I remember this picture, it was several years ago. We met with you in Sheremetyevo, you were in transit there - from one tour to another: exhausted, tired, in a huge hood, only your eyes were visible, curled up and instantly fell asleep.
I love this, yes. To be precise, I have been living in this mode for 17 years.
With such a schedule, there’s probably no time for a child.
But I’m still a girl and subconsciously, of course, I thought about it and understood that, of course, there would come a time in my life when I would want to take a short break and enjoy motherhood.
Have you changed in any way in your new position? Have you become capricious or sensitive?
I can honestly tell you, Vadim, I’m not one of those girls who fanatically spend time on the Internet, delving into women’s forums or thematic sites. I really trust my feelings and believe that my body itself will tell me how to react to the magic that happens to me.
Besides, pregnancy is such a universal joy! From the very beginning, I knew that I would not have the whims and speculations characteristic of a large number of pregnant girls. It seems to me that this only angers and pushes away the man I love.
And you stoically withstood this attitude?
Now Lyosha will join us and tell us. ( Smiles.) But I admit, I tried. Although, of course, I’m not a robot and anything can happen. Still, changes in hormonal levels leave a certain imprint on a woman’s behavior, but I didn’t have many such emotional outbursts. And strong whims about food or lack of attention too. Although at some points I could be unrestrained, overly sentimental and could even cry. For example, funny story. I wanted to treat Lyosha to homemade freshly brewed compote. I’m bringing him a decanter and suddenly on the way I break it. Lyosha jokingly says to me: “Well, I tried the compote.” And it hurt me so much! Basically, I start crying.
I don’t understand why I’m crying: either it’s a pity that I never gave my husband something to drink, or because I’m careless, or because his words pricked me at that moment. Within a few minutes I realized the absurdity of the situation, went to wash my face, and I myself felt both funny and sad. But this is an isolated case.
Tell me, Yul, what about courses for young parents? Or are they not needed?
I don't think they are unnecessary. But firstly, we are not twenty, we are very conscious guys, and secondly, we just somehow didn’t even think about it. Again, we trust our inner voice and each other. On November 12, I will be thirty-five, and I could not even dream of such an anniversary gift. Thank you God! ( Smiles.)
Was Lyosha internally prepared for such a turn of events?
But for Lyosha and me this topic is so intimate that we decided to talk about it only now. And we realized that we could trust and tell it so sincerely, in a family way, only to you, Vadim.
Thank you, Julia, I really appreciate your trust. You said that you have only recently matured for motherhood...
It was important for me to achieve success at work - it's no secret. I was a real careerist, especially at the age of 25, when I left Blestyashchiye. It was morally necessary for me to prove to everyone that I could assert myself in this difficult business and become needed in the profession, even without having a producer. At that moment, important career changes were taking place for Lyosha. He left producer Evgeniy Fridlyand, and he also had to build his own from scratch musical history. Therefore, to be honest, we didn’t even have time to think about children. But from the age of thirty, thoughts about motherhood and the fact that with all my being I was ready for this began to come to me more and more often. But here our schedule made its own adjustments. We just weren't physically close in right time V in the right place. And at some point we decided to relax, realizing that everything would happen when it was supposed to happen.
Many of your friends and colleagues became mothers early, and they probably shared with you some of their thoughts on this matter. Didn't your heart skip a beat at that moment?
In fact, I admire and rejoice at the girls, my peers, who are raising adult children. Yes, Lyosha and I recently discussed that it would be great, maybe to think about it a little earlier, but everyone has their own destiny. And so, returning to my colleagues, I, of course, am delighted with Vera Brezhneva, who looks like the elder sister of her daughters, or with Natasha Ionova - she and her eldest daughter are already friends. And they both look amazing. And I will try.
I'm sure it will be so. Even now, on the eve of giving birth, you look great!
Thanks a lot. It's all tan. ( Smiles.) I have a sporty character and a choreographic background, so, of course, I don’t relax much. I don’t have any terrible gluttony, and, most importantly, I don’t want it. I somehow negotiate with my body.
Well, you haven't recovered much.
Doctors say no. In the middle of the term, I did yoga with a specialist, and then on my own. In Spain I swam every day and, by the way, I filmed my “Dance” video when I was four months pregnant, dancing and running so that no one noticed my position. Well, and most importantly, I made it a rule to walk at least five thousand steps every day, in any condition, in any weather.
Well done! Lyosha tours and records all the time. Who is helping you?
Lyosha helps me regardless of the tour. We have been able to find a balance between personal and work for almost 10 years. But we must admit, we seemed to feel changes in our lives: a year ago I moved my parents here from Volzhsky. They doubted it for a long time - after all, there were still friends there, father’s hobbies (fishing and hunting), mother’s students and students with whom she is still friends. But after the move there was not a moment that they regretted it. Now they live side by side and, naturally, help as much as they can: dad supervises the reconstruction of the house (we are finishing the nursery), mom was with me in Spain when Lyosha flew away on tour.
(Alexey appears.) Lyosha, hello. Handsome, all in white!
Julia: It seems to me that I have already told you so much, now you will complement me.
Julia said that at your age there is some certain wisdom that allows you to look at expecting a child differently. Do you agree with this?
Alexey: Absolutely. I heard that God gives a child when people are ready for it. Everything is on time. If I were seventeen years old, I don't think I would quite understand what was in her belly.
Yu.: In fact, like a true man, he says: “Well, let’s hurry up, you communicate there, I also want to see you.”
Lyosha, tell me, was Yulia capricious? I'm interested in your version.
Yu.: Yes, tell me.
A.: In general, I noticed her pregnancy less than she did. She's a real man. ( Laughs.)
Yu.: I told you about that stupid incident when I burst into tears because of a broken decanter.
A.: Well, of course, a woman without a slight brainwash! ( Smiles.)
“Yulia is like a man” - what do you mean?
A.: She treats everything normally, without any unnecessary facial expressions. She's not capricious. Julia is basically quite pragmatic. And pragmatism plus romance give rise to realism, and it exists in this realism. Therefore, to say that I ran into the desert for pickles - this did not happen.
Maybe this is a stupid question, but still. Has your relationship changed somehow, have you started looking at Yulia differently?
Yu.: Can I tell you while Lyosha is thinking? I kept worrying: “Honey, I’m probably plump, unsexy and ugly.” And Lyosha always said words that were very important to me.
A.: I just immediately told her, “You are fat and very unsexy,” so that at the time of pregnancy she would not feel the difference.
“Good” Lyosha!
Yu.: In fact, he said: “You know, there is something attractive in the shape of a pregnant woman.” This was very important for me to hear. Now every time I go up to him and say that I am a bun, and Lyosha always answers that I have hardly gained any weight.
A.: One hundred fourteen kilograms and seventeen grams do not count.
Certainly. Yulia says that you are finishing the nursery.
A.: Yes, but in fact we are chic, to be honest. I remember how I was raised...
Yu: And me.
A.: Lord, it was some kind of small fifty-meter apartment in which the four of us lived.
In Samarkand?
A.: Yes. Then there was a house, very small, about seventy squares. And nothing, they raised me well!
Yu.: And when I was born, my parents lived in a dormitory, there was only one room. I am the second child, there were four of us too. We were given the long-awaited apartment when I was eleven months old. Mom stood in these lines for a very long time, and in the end a miracle happened. True, the apartment was on the fifth floor without an elevator, so it was very “convenient” to carry strollers. They let me into this apartment, and that was the first time I went.
My sister and I lived in the same room, we didn’t have our own personal space, but I, as a little girl, always wanted to have it. I found a way out: we had a big table, dad made it himself, I covered it with a blanket, and under my table I had my own world, no one went there.
When did you get your own real space?
This was the first rented apartment in Moscow. She was small, ugly, black, all covered with carpets.
A.: You describe me exactly as a child - small, black, ugly. ( Laughs.)
Yu.: ( Laughs.) And I was happy, I was nineteen years old then. I had already joined the “Brilliant” group, worked for a year and saved up money to rent an apartment for two hundred and fifty dollars. This was my small victory and pride. But I was able to truly feel what my personal space was only when Lyosha and I bought a house.
How old is this house?
Yu: Four years.
And as it turned out, there is still not enough space.
A.: I want it to little man played and didn't bother anyone. Just kidding, of course. I understand that I will have to leave my comfort zone.
For example, we like to watch TV series at night, but the children’s room is right through the wall. We soundproofed it to such an extent that now you can't hear anything at all. Such things will not hurt the child’s pride in any way, but they will help us.
Yulia says that she began to think seriously about having a child only after she was thirty. And you?
A.: Creative people mostly selfish, you know that. We do everything for the sake of attention to ourselves. Music, songs, concerts are nothing more than an attempt to attract attention. You revel in your work, you have a lot of plans and a lot of problems that need to be solved, and, let’s say, you have no time for children. But now I understand that I probably should have done it earlier.
Yu.: That’s what I said too.
A.: If I had an adult son or daughter now, I would already have something interesting to tell them. And so, when the child grows up, I will already be old.
You'll be in the juice.
A.: Maybe. I'll see how I survive. It also depends on how our songs will be listened to, how long our creative longevity will last, hence the moral state. We depend on the viewer.
In this sense, everything is in your favor. You gave me two of your books, I will read them with pleasure. You will have big concerts in Moscow very soon - in Vegas City Hall November 4th and 5th. This says a lot.
A.: Yulia is also doing great in this sense. Although, of course, she devoted these months more to herself and her pregnancy.
Yu.: I managed to release the track “Dance”, and the album is now being mixed in America, so in the musical sense there will be no breaks. At the same time, I really gave myself the opportunity to take a break from concerts and television projects.
Was there a creative itch?
Yu.: At first it was.
A.: She still has it.
Yu.: Lyosha means that I cannot be a woman who just sits at home, turns on the TV, lies down and enjoys pregnancy.
A: She needs to do something.
You know, I love that you guys are both on your own creative paths. Lyosha, you don’t adapt to any specific formats of show business, you sing as you feel. Julia also chose her own path. You have proven yourself wonderfully as a TV presenter, as an actress, and in parallel, of course, your vocal history.
A.: Each of us is independent, we have not had producers for many years. Freedom is important to me in creativity.
Have you ever wanted to slightly adjust your views so that, for example, you could be on the air more on radio stations?
A.: I am certainly looking for a compromise. But the viewer who comes to my concert loves what he loves about me. And if now I adapt too much to the general trend, change myself to suit all sorts of formats, then I will simply lose all those who love me and those whom I love. And most importantly, I will lose myself. Let my small but high-quality listener remain with me, so that millions of those who do not care about sincerity in music will join.
Have you thought about recording a duet album?
A.: There was a successful duet song “To Notes”. As for the album, no, we don’t plan. Yulia and I have completely different audiences. My audience is people 25–45 years old, wealthy, comfortable in life, who have the right to listen to the music they want. Yulia is loved by younger viewers. More reckless, like herself. That’s why we don’t give joint concerts. Some people will wait for me to come out, and the other part will wait for me to leave.
Returning to what's to come important event. You have now spent so much time in Spain. Have you thought about flying from there to New York or Paris, for example, to give birth?
A.: No, we deliberately chose Russia. We are patriots and we don't joke. We adore Russia so much, we are so grateful to it for what we have here, that...
Yu.: ...we didn’t even consider other options. I can’t imagine how it’s possible in these important points communicate in another language, not feel or see your loved ones nearby.
Will Lyosha be present at the birth?
Yu.: All my adult life I thought that a man should not be present at childbirth. I swear. But as a normal woman, I tend to change my mind, and now, when this miracle is about to happen, I just need him to be nearby. Although he is a very restless young man.
A.: I’m just balanced, just impressionable, I take everything to heart. I know that I won’t be able to stay at home, because I will be nervous, I will need to control everything. And there I will worry no less... I make up my mind. I'm still afraid.
Julia, how are you setting yourself up - do you plan to quickly return to duty or not?
A: Man proposes, but God disposes.
Yu: That's right. But to be honest, we are already planning concerts for November-December. Pregnancy and a child are, of course, a qualitatively different format of life. But this does not mean that Lyosha and I need to reshape our lives.
A.: We are so free in our profession, so much on our own, that even tomorrow we can say: “Okay, stop. Don’t touch me this month, I left.” We don't sit in offices. Because of this, the child is absolutely not a story that pulls the ground out from under your feet. Independence and freedom are the main reward for creativity.
Now you are both excited.
Yu.: Of course, I already dream every day that I am giving birth. I thought I was crazy, but the doctors confirmed my mental stability with a smile and said that it was very good sign. It’s impossible to remain completely pragmatic, both in dreams and in life, my thoughts are now mainly occupied only with preparing for this incredibly happy event.
You talk about it and beam. And Lyosha, although wearing dark glasses, too. Keep shining, dear ones!
Thanks a lot!

Popular performers Alexey Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk got married in Spain, and secretly. Exclusively the closest couples and friends were present at the ceremony.
A story of relationships and great love
With enviable consistency, society chroniclers “married” the couple Alexei Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk. However, the lovers themselves also often denied this information about their own wedding.
Finally, the Russian public was struck by happy news. No one could even imagine that it was so bright stars suddenly they get married secretly, without a magnificent reception. Although Alexey Chumakov assured some time ago that if they married Kovalchuk no one would know about it, many people hoped for the opposite. But, as it turned out, the artist was serious. The lovers, apparently, tried in this way to save their warm, reverent feelings from the press and their attacks. The stars decided to get married about a year after their engagement. Julia admitted that they delayed the ceremony due to a busy schedule.
The relationship of this starry and vibrant couple began with inviting each other to perform. When Julia first attended the concert of her future chosen one, she was literally fascinated by his charm and artistry.
As Yulia says, Alexey tried to think through the marriage proposal down to the smallest detail. So that Yulia would not suspect anything, Alexey Chumakov found out the size of the ring through the director of his chosen one. It took Alexey six long years to propose; during these years, Yulia did not rush him with the wedding, because she knew that the right moment would definitely come. What hasn’t been written about them during this time: as if Alexey is not going to marry Yulia and even that the couple is breaking up.
Modest Moscow and magnificent Spanish wedding of Chumakov and Kovalchuk
The wedding of Kovalchuk and Chumakov took place in Moscow without Champagne and witnesses. The circle was so close that there was no one except the bride and groom, the official who registers the marriage. After registration, the newlyweds immediately went to dinner. So the young people introduced a certain amount of improvisation and extravagance into their lives.
The artists really hid their wedding as much as possible from the press. The lovers even left the country for this purpose. Happy Event recently happened in Spain, where the couple has their own apartment. This Spanish wedding was attended exclusively by the closest and dearest people to Alexey and Yulia: Yulina’s parents, Alexey’s dad and especially close friends - a total of 12 guests. None of my colleagues were there. This event was, rather, for the parents, because it was for them that it was even more long-awaited than for the newlyweds themselves.
As the bride recalls, the clouds thickened when she was supposed to go to the flower arch with her father, and then it began to rain. However, Julia boldly went with her father to the altar. The waiters pulled the linen over them, so neither the bride’s hairstyle nor the chic dress were ruined. It is interesting that as soon as Alexey Chumakov and Yulia Kovalchuk were declared husband and wife, the downpour immediately stopped.
It is believed that rain on the wedding day is a very good and kind omen for the future life.
Although the celebration was for a narrow circle of friends and family, the newlyweds were not modest. As already mentioned, the newlyweds in Spain have their own apartments, but for the celebration they rented a three-story spacious mansion. The ceremony took place on the top floor - on a marble balcony with a stunning view of the sea. The violin quartet played superbly, and all the guests were delighted. The couple held the party downstairs, by the pool on a covered area.
The host of the party was a Spaniard who, although with an accent, spoke Russian. Chumakov and Kovalchuk, organizing a festive celebration, specifically appealed to the mayor of the city a couple of weeks before the wedding itself, asking for permission to play music not until 12 o’clock at night, as is customary in Spain, but until three in the morning.
The party turned out great: with a stage, concert sound and light. Repeatedly, wanting to join, groups of people came, thinking that it was a night open club. Spanish musicians invited to the wedding were shocked by the temperament of the newlyweds and their guests. Everyone sang and danced flamenco together with Spanish artists. True, the police came to them several times, however, having learned that they had received the go-ahead for the late party, they left, not forgetting to congratulate Alexei and Yulia.
Everything was just perfectly organized. Although Yulia could not because large quantity Because she had to constantly fly to Spain and do preparations on the spot, she corrected and mentored her assistants over the phone and the Internet. As a result, the wedding did not bother anyone, there was no fuss. Everyone was happy and relaxed. In the morning everyone woke up at the time they wanted. Then, we had a long breakfast in pleasant company and, of course, continued our relaxation: some went for a walk, others swam in the pool. There were no regulations.
Gifts were given to the newlyweds, those that were prepared with love and for a long time - a good cutlery set, beautiful dishes, self made tablecloths, wonderful bed linen sets. It is precisely these gifts that Alexey and Yulia should need in the very near future, because they are finishing the construction of a spacious house in the Moscow region, on Novorizhskoye Highway.
It is known that rumors about this wedding were widely circulated long time. The reason for this was that attentive journalists noticed rings in the hands of the artists. After all, before this, Alexey Chumakov had never worn rings before, even for decoration. And now, Chumakov has a strict ring on his finger, and Yulia wears an elegant ring with a scattering of small stones and one large stone. In addition, Julia also previously did not wear rings on her ring finger.
Big plans for the friendly family of Alexey and Yulia
Yulia is not going to change her last name after the wedding, since this will cause certain difficulties in terms of work, although, of course, Alexey would like his wife to become Chumakova.
Alexey Chumakov, meanwhile, has already decided to send his wife on maternity leave, despite the fact that both performers have a very busy work schedule.
We became parents for the first time in mid-September this year. For the first time, Chumakov decided to make public revelations about why he and his wife took so long to have a child.
