The stars have changed and lost weight for the sake of young lovers

Evgeny Petrosyan

“And Evgeny Petrosyan, next to his young wife, is like a boy. Look how he dances and sings,” Netizens leave approving comments in this spirit on Petrosyan’s microblog on Instagram. With the appearance of Tatyana Brukhunova, not only the artist’s blog came to life—he himself became younger. Instead of ribbed knitted vests, a light shirt with bright stripes and suspenders; instead of a casual coat, a stylish raincoat from an elite British brand.

Yuri Galtsev

The viewer remembered the 59-year-old artist as he appeared on the Full House stage: disheveled hair almost to his shoulders, receding hairline, funny shirts. But not a trace remained of the image of an eccentric and a simpleton: a couple of weeks ago, Yuri Nikolaevich came to visit Elena Stepanenko unrecognizably. Posing next to the comedian was a man with a shaved head, a neat beard and a stylish dark blue suit—the updated Yuri Galtsev.

They say that the artist owes the change in image to his beloved 30 years younger than him, actress Maria Nasyrova. Rumors about a romance between a teacher and a student began to spread 4 years ago, when the couple was already raising their one-year-old son Gleb. Galtsev still hides the changes in his personal life - it is much more pleasant for him to collect compliments because of his younger appearance.

Petrosyan never dreamed: Yuri Galtsev changed beyond recognition for the sake of his young mistress

59-year-old Yuri Galtsev, who for a long time performed in “Full House” in the same image - an eccentric man with disheveled hair in bright clown shirts, recently amazed the audience with an incredible transformation. The comedian appeared on the set of Elena Stepanenko's show, a couple of dozen kilograms thinner, with a smoothly shaved head and a neat beard, wearing an impressive jacket with a bow tie. If Petrosyan’s ex-wife had not signed his photo on social networks, many simply would not have known.

“The eyes of friendship are rarely mistaken,” Voltaire once said. And now I look into the eyes of my friend Yura and see so much warmth and love in them! - admitted Elena Stepanenko. - Believe me, this love can overcome everything in the world. Please, don't be afraid, just love! And then all troubles will pass you by.

Elena Georgievna generously decorated her message with heart emoticons, and next to her friend in a spectacular red suit she looked very impressive. Both refreshed, rejuvenated, happy, Stepanenko and Galtsev could give rise to rumors of an affair, however, in fact, they are connected only by strong friendship and somewhat similar family situations.

The comedian, like Evgeny Petrosyan, got married in the mid-eighties - for Galtsev this marriage became the second. And also, as an older comrade, Yuri Nikolaevich went to his young assistant-lover, with whom he has a 30-year age difference - they say it was she who forced the artist to go on a diet and change his image. But, unlike Evgeniy Vaganovich, his colleague never got divorced.

Maria Nasyrova gave birth to a son to the comedian five years ago.

The affair between Galtsev and his student actress Maria Nasyrova became known in 2020: then photographs of the 55-year-old artist and his 24-year-old girlfriend were published in the press. The couple was having fun at the party, he gently hugged her waist - these shots spoke more eloquently than any words about their feelings. It turned out that the couple had been together for several years: in 2010, Maria entered Galtsev’s acting course at the St. Petersburg Academy of Theater Arts, and after studying she came to work in his theater. But no one could have imagined that by that time the beautiful Masha had already given birth to a son to her beloved man: their son Gleb was born in 2015, and all this time the comedian carefully hides the heir.

From two official marriages, Galtsev has older children: a son, Mikhail, and a daughter, also Masha, and the comedian’s grandchildren are much older than his five-year-old son. Two years ago, Yuri Nikolaevich bought an apartment with an area of 103 square meters. m. in an elite house in St. Petersburg, which he registered in equal shares for himself, his mistress and his child. At the same time, Galtsev, apparently, has no intention of divorcing his legal wife, actress Irina Rakshina, and dividing his property with her.

- We have completely different situations. Well, Petrosyan got divorced. This is his life. His karma. I don’t have any such fears and I’m not jealous, ” Irina Rakshina recently admitted to KP.

Mikhail Shufutinsky

Losing weight in adulthood is stressful for the body, but what can’t you do for love! Having survived the death of his wife Margarita from a heart attack, the performer became close to Svetlana Urazova, his ex-dancer. The blonde (by the way, the age difference between the couple is 30 years) supported Shufutinsky and gradually turned from friend to lover. Next to her, the chanson star blossomed.

“Mikhail Zakharovich lost 30 kilos a long time ago. Now he continues his diet and reduces his weight. True, he is no longer losing weight in such large volumes, but gradually. He eats right and exercises. He generally goes to the pool every other day, if his tour schedule allows it. In general, he maintains his physical shape with all his might,” Svetlana said about the changes in Shufutinsky’s appearance.

Why is Yuri Galtsev simply unrecognizable now?

Everyone is probably wondering: what happened in Galtsev’s life? And it's simple - he fell in love. And love, as we know, works miracles.

As Elena Stepanenko said, she looked into her friend’s eyes and saw in them endless kindness and love that can overcome all obstacles and troubles.

As a matter of fact, Yevgeny Petrosyan’s ex-wife Elena Stepanenko herself looked more than impressive on the set of the next episode of her TV show. Also slimmer, younger, in a stylish red suit and sparkle in her eyes. Many might think that they have something with Galtsev. However, there is nothing shameful here - Galtsev and Stepanenko are just friends. Best, but friends. And Elena Georgievna fully supports her friend and stage colleague in his courage to love and be with his loved one.

By the way, the family situations of Stepanenko and Galtsev are in some ways similar. So, both Evgeny Petrosyan and Yuri Galtsev got married in the eighties. And now, in modern times, both have gone to young mistresses, with whom their age difference is as much as three decades!

True, Galtsev, unlike Petrosyan, never divorced his legal wife.

Konstantin Ivlev

The famous chef began losing weight last year, when he lived with his wife Maria. The 23-year-long marriage collapsed due to Konstantin’s passion for journalist Valeria - it is the young companion that Ivlev now thanks for the metamorphoses that happened to him.

Because of his love for food, Ivlev weighed more than 130 kilos. To get in shape and get healthier, the diet had to be revised: meat disappeared from the TV star’s menu, carbohydrates almost disappeared (with the exception of morning sweet tea and a piece of bread for breakfast). As a result, minus 22 kilograms, and Konstantin’s rejuvenation continues: on vacation with his beloved Valeria, the cook walks to the sea, swims for a kilometer and walks home again.

Alexander Tsekalo

Next to the 59-year-old producer is sultry artist Darina Ervin. The brunette has a lot of insolence: she shows off her enviable body without shame, walks around the house without clothes and shares the details of her intimate life with her new husband. If you're overweight, you can't keep up with someone like that - so Alexander Tsekalo took charge of himself.

“Sasha has changed a lot in his new relationship. I lost noticeable weight, lost about 10 kilograms. How? Sports - swimming and exercise equipment, plus proper nutrition. And it’s an incentive to look great next to your young wife,” say those surrounded by the couple.

Alexander has to match not only the image of Darina, but also her mother. Just look what Tsekalo's mother-in-law looks like!

Personal life

Charisma and charm allowed Yuri to be popular with the opposite sex from adolescence. It is not surprising that the artist first got married in his early youth, at the age of 19, but after the birth of his son Mikhail, the couple divorced and Yuri left the family. The reasons for this decision are not advertised and are kept secret. The child remained with his mother.

Later, Mikhail Galtsev encountered drug addiction, which he managed to overcome. Now he works in a rehabilitation center, raising two children - a son, who was named after his grandfather, and a daughter. Yuri Nikolaevich supports Mikhail in his work, so he often gives concerts for patients of the Kurgan health care facility.

Yuri's second chosen one was actress Irina Rakshina. The fame of an inveterate womanizer and playboy almost affected the future of the couple. The eternal fans, who were not going to leave the idol alone, did not suit the chosen one at all. But Yuri Nikolaevich showed persistence, proving that for the sake of his beloved he was ready to do amazing things, as a result the woman agreed to become his wife.

6 years after the wedding, Irina gave the artist a daughter, Masha. Having matured, the girl received a diploma in journalism, but soon became interested in fitness and began working in a sports club.

In 2020, the artist’s personal life aroused the interest of reporters. Joint photos of Yuri Nikolaevich and the young actress Maria Nasyrova began to appear on the Internet. The girl from Perm took a course from the master, and then became part of the theater troupe headed by Galtsev.

The artists have been seen together more than once at social events. Users of social networks immediately began to actively discuss the news, suggesting that relationships were developing between colleagues in the creative workshop, but the celebrities themselves did not comment on such rumors.

Irina Rakshina dispelled this myth, saying that their family maintains a warm relationship and there are no prerequisites for separation.
