Pyotr Elfimov is 29 years old, his wife and producer Tatyana Kosmacheva is 27 older. They love each other, but, perhaps due to the narrow-mindedness and slander of some people, they have never advertised their relationship.
The couple spoke openly about their love and their life in exclusive interview portal.
How it all began
Petr Elfimov: We've actually known each other for 15 years. We just never thought that fate would bring us together so much. We met when I participated in a song competition, and Tanya was its producer.
Tatyana Kosmacheva: Then Petya began to engage in KVN very actively, and seemed to have given up singing. And one day I called him and said: “Petya, are you still singing? Well, let's go have a drink at Pesnyary.
Petr Elfimov: At first, Tanya didn’t even understand why anyone could fall in love with me. She told Elfimov that they see everything in you: you slouch, shuffle your feet, in general, some kind of log. In general: I remember wonderful moment, I appeared before you, I was thin as a ghost and uncouth as a pig...
Tatyana Kosmacheva: Well, it was like that... a little stupid. But it ended quickly. He is good, smart, kind, reliable in everything. All my friends became Petya’s friends, all Petya’s friends became mine.
There was a moment when my comrades said: “Tanya, you are wounded all over your head - it will spin for a day or two, and look for the wind in the field!” And now they are Petya’s closest friends, and we constantly go to visit each other; one of the sons of Petya’s friends is godfather.
- Did you have any fears and doubts?
Tatyana Kosmacheva: Were. But I didn’t think about anything! This is love, so be it as it will be. This cannot be analyzed.
The age of love is not a barrier!
Petr Elfimov: When a person begins to think, it is akin to some kind of calculation. When Tanya first asked me: “Don’t you care how old I am?”, I answered: “Yes, I don’t know how old you are!”
Tatyana Kosmacheva: And I say: “I’ll bring my passport, we need to look!”
Petr Elfimov: To which I replied: “I haven’t needed your passport for three hundred years!” That's all. The fact that Tanyusha is older does not shock me at all. And this can shock others only if they don’t know what a real feeling is, when you don’t think about age or financial situation, and all this is absolutely unimportant for you. Once someone wrote that Elfimov is a careerist, and that he is with Tatyana Kosmacheva only because of PR, fame, money...
- Does Tatyana have a lot of money?
Petr Elfimov: If we had a lot of money, we would not live in our own state, we would go somewhere else. And, probably, if I had been such a bastard as they wrote about it, I would have left her two hundred times already and found myself a young brainless fool, the daughter of an oligarch. But Tanya - smartest woman, with whom it is impossible not to fall in love. And if I were any man, I would simply envy me. Because to be next to such a woman is simply a gift of fate.
How did the transition from professional to personal relationships occur?
Petr Elfimov: For ourselves, as for all our loved ones, friends and acquaintances, this transition happened very smoothly, no one even noticed. Everyone treats our love normally. When I come somewhere, I don’t need to imagine: “This is my wife Tatyana, she’s my producer and my director,” everyone sees two people who are like one whole organism, and they perceive us that way.
It's almost impossible to see us apart. Very rarely. For example, if I go to the gym and she is resting at home. We may not see each other for a maximum of an hour and a half. Everything is so good here that you can just dream about this. I even remember our first kiss very well, but I won’t talk about it, it’s personal.
Fans love creativity, not a man
- Peter, how did your fans react to the changes in your personal life?
Petr Elfimov: At first, fans simply did not understand my relationship, some were infuriated, there were many different discussions and condemnations on the forums. And now they are. But the fans who are interested in me for my work have already calmed down about me, like a man.
They perceive Tatyana and me as a single whole. And those fans with whom we communicate do not send greetings only to me, they send greetings to Tatyana as well. They are interested in communicating with her, understanding what kind of woman she is, so that a man would love her so much and be faithful to her from beginning to end.
No stamp required in your passport!
- Did you have a wedding?
Petr Elfimov: We didn’t have a wedding, we weren’t officially registered. I don’t think that the stamp in the passport plays any role. Go and put a stamp and only after that consider that people are husband and wife? I think this is complete bullshit.
Tatyana Kosmacheva: You can have a stamp in your passport and not even know what the person on your stamp eats for breakfast. If there is no soul on either side, you can put as many stamps as you like - there is no use. One of our friends dated a girl for five years, even planned to marry her, but their relationship was full of constant scandals, quarrels, scenes of jealousy - everything was on nerves. And so he met another girl via the Internet, met her once - and since then they have been together. They have complete mutual understanding, common interests, they are very similar even in appearance.
Petr Elfimov: You and I are also similar in appearance. People who should be together are simply attracted to each other from different ends of the Universe.
There are no household problems
- You have been living together for four years. Are there quarrels, is life stuck?
Petr Elfimov: Even before we started living together, we spent a long time getting used to each other. And they didn’t even realize until some point that these were disputes of a personal and not a professional nature.
Disputes about everyday issues we don't have. I wash the dishes because I think that this is not a woman’s job, and my hands should be protected; women’s hands age very quickly from hot water; it is better to preserve them in the cold.
Tatyana Kosmacheva: He cooks great!
Petr Elfimov: The only everyday problem is that I often don’t know what to find where, like a normal crazy creator I don’t think about it, and it’s easier for me to ask Tanya.
Tatyana Kosmacheva: We have no time to quarrel, because we have a lot of work, a very busy schedule. Petya also teaches at the Institute of Modern Knowledge...
Petr Elfimov: I have seventeen students!
Tatyana Kosmacheva: And they are all crying now in Minsk, waiting for their teacher to return.
Parents and children are friends
- Peter, how do your parents feel about your union with Tatyana?
Petr Elfimov: My mother is friends with Tanya. My grandmother also loves her very much. Both dad and brother. It’s simply impossible not to love this woman, she is one continuous positive.
Tatyana Kosmacheva: And Petin’s younger brother tells me more than his mother.
Petr Elfimov: IN last time When we visited my parents, my mother said - if in my life at least someone dedicated at least a couple of lines like this to me, I would be happy until the end of my days. Everything I write, everything I sing, I dedicate to Tanya. My feelings and my emotions are reborn into works. By the way, Tatyana and my mother are not fans of my work.
Tatyana Kosmacheva: It’s just that when a work is created, and I hear it from the first note, from the first line, I’ve already listened to it to such an extent by the time it’s published that I already know all 250 options and I won’t listen to it at home.
Petya’s parents live in Mogilev, we see each other often and surprise each other. When we all get together, we even play hide and seek, card game"witch", whatever.
Petr Elfimov: It’s just that our child is so lively, Tanya’s girl, Appolinaria, she’s 12 years old. We don’t have a child together, but that doesn’t bother us.
Tatyana Kosmacheva: We have such a Polina that everyone has enough of her - friends, relatives, acquaintances and even our sound engineer.
Petr Elfimov: We have a lot of crazy things going on here. I can wake up at one in the morning and say, for example: “Shouldn’t we go to McDonald’s and inject a little poison into the body!”
Tatyana Kosmacheva: She and Polina always do this, but I’m against “poison.” Polina loves Petya very much, and Petya loves Polina.
Petr Elfimov: Yes, she supports us, she says: “Mommy, they’ve written all sorts of crap about you, don’t listen to all this, I love you and perceive you as you are!”
The best gifts are spontaneous ones
Tatyana Kosmacheva: Petya likes to surprise me. One day, on March 8th, he woke up in the morning and got ready to go somewhere. I, sleepy, asked where, he said that for potatoes. A few hours later, Polina says: Mom, look out the window, someone is calling you there. I look out and there is Petya with a huge armful of flowers. And as soon as he sees me, he starts singing new song. At the same time, I congratulated my neighbors!
Petr Elfimov: It often happens that I go home and realize that I need to please my girls with something, I go to a flower shop and buy something outlandish. The best gifts- spontaneous.
Without love, I would drink myself to death and die from sexually transmitted diseases
- What would have happened if you had not met such a great love in your life?
Petr Elfimov: Yes, I would have been driven, reached some kind of dead end, and then I don’t even know, maybe I would have started throwing or something else, and there would have been nothing sensible in creatively It wouldn't have worked. The eternal search for a companion would lead to some kind of sexually transmitted diseases and the death of a talented person.
