Childhood

While still a schoolgirl, Inna was assigned to perform at a beauty contest for her native Kirovograd. At that time, such competitions were just becoming fashionable. “Miss Kirovograd - 1990” was timed to coincide with the 285th anniversary of the founding of the city. An average girl, a Komsomol member and pianist, won and became famous overnight. As a reward for her beauty, Inna was given a cruise Mediterranean Sea and an invitation to the next beauty contest – “Miss Ukraine”. However, Gorb’s mother dissuaded her daughter from going on stage.

First marriage

Inna met her future husband, football player of the USSR national team, Andrei Kanchelskis at school. A year later the couple got married. The wedding took place on June 22, 1991.

Almost immediately, the career of the young athlete Andrei began to gain momentum. He signed a contract with the English Manchester United. Andrei Kanchelskis has become a fairly sought after world football star. The couple moved to England. Andrey spent all his time on the football field, and Inna at home.

The Ukrainian girl began to spend her holidays at resorts. The first time, however, I visited Yalta. And on weekdays, while Andrei was playing away, Inna kept house and went shopping with the other wives of Manchester United players.

Tragedy

At the beginning of 1992, Inna Kanchelskis lost her child. The baby died right in the womb. My parents placed a plaque in the cemetery with only their last name. They never had time to come up with a name for the baby. On December 23, 1993, the young family finally had their first child. Andrey was born in Manchester. Five years later, Kanchelskis gave birth to a daughter, Eva. She was born on March 23, 1999 in Glasgow. Now Andrei is trying his hand at the football field, and Eva is at the ballet barre.

The family lived quite richly. The couple and their children spent all their vacations at resorts. In addition, the family's income made it possible to buy a large apartment in the castle of the admiral of the British fleet near London, in East Grinstead. Until 2003, Inna and Andrey lived either in England or in Italy. But at the end of the year, Andrei signed a contract with Dynamo Moscow and went to the Russian capital.

Inna Kanchelskis. A love story first hand

However, his career did not work out in Moscow. Two years later, Andrei Kanchelskis went to Samara to defend the honor of “Wings”. Inna refused to move and remained in the capital. From that moment on, the gradual collapse of the family began. The couple lived together for 15 years; the abrupt breakup came as a complete surprise to all friends and acquaintances. “Nobody expected this. But it happens that a person falls in love with another. What can I do? - says Andrey.

Meeting with Stas Mikhailov

Andrei Kanchelskis played his last match in 2006. Inna was already together with singer Stas Mikhailov.

There were rumors that Andrei was an alcoholic and a fighter, and Inna only pushed her men to the bottle. And leaving the football player was solely for financial reasons, since Stas’s career had already begun to take off.

Wedding of Inna and Stas Mikhailov

However, none of love triangle bad word didn't talk about each other. Inna met Stas at a time when she no longer lived with Andrei, but Mikhailov was married to another woman. The king of chanson fell in love with Inna so much that he filed for divorce. However, Andrei Kanchelskis claims that his ex-wife began having an affair with Stas Mikhailov while she was still married to him.

“Their affair happened while we were still married. Inna admitted to cheating herself. I proposed to disperse peacefully, without trials. That’s why I left my apartment in Moscow and my car, and now we’re arguing about my house in London. Inna has savings and it’s not enough for her. She never worked a day during our 15-year marriage,” says Andrey.

“Inna is only interested in money, my ex-wife even filed a lawsuit to collect alimony from me, although I paid it regularly without a court decision! It’s important to me that my children are well-fed, clothed and healthy,” says Andrey.

Inna was already present at the first solo concert Mikhailov in Moscow in 2006. They say that Stas himself came up to meet Inna after the concert in a restaurant. After this, the romance began. At one of the concerts, the artist invited his beloved onto the stage and introduced him to the public as the woman to whom all his compositions were dedicated. At that time, the artist was not as in demand as he is today; he lived in a one-room rented apartment, where he brought Inna.


They say that Inna actually manages all of Stas Mikhailov’s affairs and is his secret producer who invested money in the performer. After her divorce from Kanchelskis, she received quite a bit of compensation, so she had the opportunity to spend the money on an aspiring chansonnier. From here, supposedly, the artist’s steep rise began. However, Stas Mikhailov himself denies the information that he used his wife’s money. At first he was embarrassed by the fact that Inna had more wealth, but later he himself became rich.

After her parents’ divorce, Eva began to live with her mother and Stas, and Andrei Kanchelskis Jr. stayed to study in London, but during the holidays he came to Moscow to visit Inna. By the way, both his father and Stas pay for his studies, since Inna does not work.

In August 2009, Inna gave birth to Stas’s daughter, Ivanna. It is noteworthy that the baby was born when her parents were not even married.

The wedding took place only in 2011. The event was celebrated royally. Stas Mikhailov, who in a few years made a dizzying career for himself and became the richest musician in Russia according to Forbes magazine, spent half a million euros on the celebration.


The couple celebrated their wedding in the French mansion Château d'Esclimont, which is located in the Eclimo valley near Paris, not far from the famous Versailles. Three dozen relatives and close friends were invited to the celebration, including the Gazmanov family, Taisiya Povaliy and Victor Drobysh. Children also came to France - the son of Stas and Inna Gorb Nikita, the daughter of Mikhailov and Natalya Zotova Dasha, as well as the son of Inna Andrey and daughter Eva.

Inna Mikhailova practically does not communicate with journalists and quite rarely gives interviews. However, on occasion, she always talks about her husband and only good things. “I prefer to be in the shadow of my husband. In family. I feel comfortable behind Stas’s wide and strong back...” says Inna.

Litigation

In 2009 ex-spouses Inna and Andrey began, through the court, to divide the property acquired during marriage: apartments in Moscow and England, as well as expensive cars. The Kanchelskis never fully figured out their relationship; they communicate only through lawyers. Meanwhile, the former spouses started another dispute. According to Andrey, Inna does not allow him to see his children often. The father meets with his son and daughter in fits and starts, but often calls each other. He even went to court to officially gain the right to see his children and take them with him on vacation.

The love for music, according to the singer, was instilled family of origin, who always supported her. As a child, her grandfather called her Inna, and Elena decided that this would be her stage name.

Elena graduated from the Mangalia College of Economics, after which she attempted to obtain a degree in political science at the University of Constanta.

By the end of 2007, Inna signed a contract with Romanian producers Play & Win and began recording her first tracks. In early 2008, she submitted a couple of songs, including "Goodbye" and "Sorry", to the Eurovision Song Contest 2008, but they did not make it past the pre-selection.

But the love of music and singing won over practical skills, and...

Already at the end of 2007, the future singer Inna took the first step towards musical career- a contract was signed with Romanian producers, after which the recording of tracks began. Elena’s nickname, one might say, was invented by her grandfather, who very often called her that. Today, Inna is a singer whose biography is filled with events that worry many and fuel interest in tracking her.

Rich make-up is a distinctive feature

Only a narrow circle of acquaintances saw Inna without makeup. The singer loves him with all her soul, and also believes that the less clothes a girl wears, the best view she has. The performer's favorite clothes are open and short shorts, which are worn both on stage and in real life. In addition, other revealing outfits are also welcome. In this form, for example, Inna appeared before her fans at SummerFestival in 2010.

In fact, the translucent outfit did not hide from the viewer perfect shapes singers. It’s interesting that Inna herself feels absolutely confident in this form. This does not mean that the girl everywhere demonstrates her “charms”, but her other clothes clearly emphasize the ideal shape of her body.

Inna has burning black hair and black eyes, which are always accentuated by bright, deep makeup.

Anorexia? No, dear envious people, work on yourself and as a result - slimness

Inna is a singer whose height and weight correspond to the height and weight of an inch (160 cm and 43 kg, respectively). In this regard, they tried to accuse her of promoting anorexia, since in her videos she openly demonstrates her curves. However, Inna denied everything, claiming that her body was the result proper nutrition, dancing, training. She was just lucky with her genes, says singer Inna. The biography, in which personal life is not discussed, is filled creative successes in a fairly short and insignificant period of time. Inna's singles do not have much meaning or original sound, but they occupy leading positions in charts around the world.

Creativity and top in the charts

The first composition “Not” was recorded with the support of Radu Bolfi, Sebastian Barak, Marcel Botezan, who were members of the Play&Win group in 2007.

There are two different versions of the video, which were filmed according to different scenarios.

After a short period of time, singer Inna, together with Play&Win, released a second composition - “Love”, which also took top positions in the charts. She was confidently in the top ten. This study was conducted by Nielsen Media Research. The composition "Love" is as fast as previous work, won the first positions in the charts of European countries and did not leave them for quite a long time. Due to the high popularity of the song “Love”, a video was shot. Teenagers in many countries are simply delighted with both the singer’s dance songs and herself.

In the new single “10 Minutes” Play&Win acted not only as producers. Here they were also performers, which naturally had a positive effect on their popularity. Using the singer Inna, Play&Win made a statement about themselves.

It is impossible not to mention another world-class work - “Amazing”. In 2009, the song took a leading position in the Top 100 in Romania, and entered the charts in France, Germany, and the UK. In the same 2009, singer Inna won the “Best Romanian Artist” award at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2009. The Eurodanceweb Award 2010 recognized the track “Sun Is Up” as the best dance work in Europe.
