Personal life

Natalya Vetlitskaya had a turbulent youth. She managed to get married four times. Her first husband was musician Pavel Smeyan. The girl married him when she was only 17 years old. It was Pavel who convinced Natasha to start singing. The creative marriage lasted several years. The husband often drank and raised his hand to his young wife.

Vetlitskaya was not alone for long after the divorce. Soon she met 18-year-old Dmitry Malikov. Their relationship quickly grew into a hot romance. The lovers lived together for several years, and then Dima left Natalya. He learned that the woman he loved was not faithful to him.

The singer’s next chosen one was Zhenya Belousov. They dated for only a few months and then got married. Their marriage lasted 9 days. On January 1, 1989, the couple signed at the registry office, and on January 10 they divorced. According to Vetlitskaya, this marriage was a joke. Allegedly, Evgeniy did not want to marry the mother of his child, so he went to the registry office with someone else. After the wedding, Belousov went on tour, and when he returned, he found out that Natalya had left him.

Vetlitskaya also calls her next marriage fictitious. In 1992, she became the wife of Kirill Kirin, who starred in her video “Look into your eyes.” With the help of her husband, Natalya wanted to resolve the issue of purchasing living space.

After her 3rd marriage, Vetlitskaya had short affairs with Vlad Stashevsky and Suleiman Kerimov. In the early 2000s, the singer began dating Mikhail Topalov, producer of the Smash group. During this period, Vetlitskaya learned about pregnancy. The child’s father turned out to be not Topalov, but Natalya’s yoga coach Alexey. In 2004, she gave birth to a daughter, Ulyana.

After a series of love stories, Vetlitskaya “settled down.” Now she is busy raising her daughter, but does not answer questions about her personal life.

Civil position[edit | edit code]

In August 2011, Natalya published a “fairy tale” on her blog, which supposedly described a closed concert in the winter of 2008 for government members at a remote and “secret” residence. The article critically describes the organization of the concert in general and, in particular, the behavior of the artistic director of the Kremlin Palace Pyotr Shaboltai[11][12][13][14][15]. The article caused a great resonance in the press and after some time was deleted from the singer’s blog.
