Personal life of Maria Kulikova before marriage - who the actress dated
The actress was married once - to her colleague Denis Matrosov. Before him, she had an affair with only one man, or so Maria herself claims. During her student years, Kulikova dated fellow student Philip Grigoryan. It never came to a wedding, although the young people were a couple for a long time.
Rumors about novels appeared along with popularity. Maria was credited with close relationships with almost all partners on the theater stage and film set. The actress did not comment on them in any way, did not refute or confirm them.
The actress also did not talk about her affair with Denis Matrosov. Her chosen one spoke much more willingly about him, which did not suit Maria herself. She later recalled that the first conflicts with Denis arose precisely against the background of his frankness with journalists. Maybe that’s why they never managed to save the marriage even after the birth of their son Ivan - Denis and Maria were too different.

Masha met Denis on the set of the series “Two Fates”. The young man bribed her not by trying to look after her, like other men, but by showing concern for her health - he pointed out to the girl how much she smoked.
At first, friendly relations began between the young people, but gradually they grew into something more, and then into a family union. Sailors and Kulikova went to the registry office after 3 years of marriage. The wedding was not a prim event in the full sense of the word - the couple came to the wedding in jeans and white T-shirts, the bride even refused a bright manicure and hairstyle.
After 14 years of starting a relationship and just four years after the birth of their son, Denis and Maria decided to divorce. More precisely, Masha herself decided so. What led her to make such a decision is unknown. Rumors appeared in the press that he or she had cheated, that the actress or her husband had an intolerable character, that Denis was jealous of his wife’s popularity and demand. There was a lot of speculation, few answers to questions. And it is the complete right of former spouses to remain silent and not allow prying eyes and prying ears into the personal space.
The mystery of Maria Kulikova's divorce
Maria was born into an intelligent family in Moscow. The grandmother of the future actress was the dean of one of the faculties of the famous Gnesinka, and her father was a professional bass. He worked for a long time at the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, and then sang in church. Only the actress’s mother chose a non-creative profession for herself - she became an ordinary engineer. Nevertheless, she is also a musical person.
It is even more strange that Maria did not even learn to play the piano, which she regrets today. For some reason, the girl’s parents never associated the girl’s future profession with creativity, and especially with singing.
However, Masha was enrolled in a theater club at the age of ten - fearing that the girl might get involved with bad company. Kulikova’s childhood and adolescence occurred in the late 80s and early 90s, and her parents wanted to give the girl less free time so she wouldn’t wander around the streets.
The actress remembers her first role: she made her stage debut at the age of 10, in the role of little Baba Yaga. Then, as a child, she did not yet understand that on stage she felt like a fish in water. I treated the theater studio as an interesting hobby, and when the time came to choose a profession, I didn’t even think about entering the theater school.
Didn't become a lawyer
film “The Forest Princess” (2004)
Going into high school, Masha studied the brochures of universities that were offered by different faculties, followed the trends and came to the conclusion that she should try to study to become a lawyer - a fashionable profession at that time, which was predicted to be in great demand by the mid-90s.
The girl took preparations for admission seriously. I chose Moscow State University to study, enrolled in preparatory courses and began to pay more attention to the subjects that I would have to take after school to law school.
Even during the course, Masha realized that she was not at all interested in the precise world of jurisprudence. After graduating from school, she continued to tell her parents about her intentions to get a serious profession, but secretly from them she took exams at the Shchepkin Theater School.
First steps
film "Main Caliber" (2006)
When she entered, it was no longer so scary to admit to her parents that Masha had chosen a different professional path, unexpected for the family. They reacted with understanding: it would be difficult to expect anything different from a girl growing up in such a creative environment.
Studying was not difficult, and upon completion, Maria was enrolled in the troupe of the Academic Theater of Satire, where she still works. The actress was also invited to the first film role in her life immediately after graduation. But for almost five years the film roles were episodic and no one particularly noticed the stately beauty.
An incident changed everything. One day Masha went to a casting for another TV series, and only after auditioning in the studio did she realize that she was in the wrong pavilion and was in the wrong casting. She rushed to the right one, but failed the test there. Sad, she returned home, but then the assistant directors of the first, random audition called her. She was approved.
The role she received was in the TV series “Two Fates”. At first, Kulikova was hired for one of the episodic roles, but subsequent work with the director revealed greater potential in Masha than he initially expected. So the actress was offered the main role.
Meeting
film “Let me kiss you” (2008)
In “Two Fates”, Kulikova received not only stunning success, but also changes in her personal life. When the filming season had just begun, the actress was terribly worried about the relationship that had just ended. In between takes, she smoked one after another, and her filming partner Denis Matrosov was surprised: the fragile, thin girl finished two packs of cigarettes in a day...
Sailors himself was in real depression at that time: he had just had two children with actress Lyudmila Tatarova, and in the theater community they immediately started talking about the fact that the scoundrel Sailors abandoned his offspring and did not marry his colleague. He tells a completely different story.
Claiming for a larger apartment and special subsidies that single mothers receive, Tatarova, without informing the father of the twins who were born, registered them as having no father. Without a twinge of conscience, the girl put a dash in the “father” column.
Denis was worried and later commented on the situation, saying that Tatarova probably wanted to do what she thought was better. On the other hand, they were both so young and so did not want to talk, to make concessions to each other... And so it turned out, how it happened, and how to correct the situation, Sailors at the time of filming “Two Fates” did not know at all.
In other words, Masha and Denis met each other when they were both going through a difficult period in their lives.
Continuation
film “She Said Yes” (2007)
Today the entire film crew of “Two Fates” says: from the very first day they were inseparable. And the actors themselves recall in their past interviews that they actually left filming together on the very first day.
Denis volunteered to give Masha a ride, who did not drive. By the way, all episodes of the series, where the heroine Kulikova drives a car, were filmed on a special platform or with a double. The actress will receive the rights much later. And now, when the first day of filming was over, an interesting and charming man was sitting behind the wheel of a comfortable car - Denis Matrosov.
Hungry after exhausting filming, the artists decided to drop into a cafe. It was there that they had their first, still awkward conversation - like any conversation on a first date. Denis did most of the talking. And against the backdrop of his problems with the children, who were not given their father’s last name, Masha decided that her heartfelt worries were complete nonsense.
Now they were each talking, as if conducting psychotherapy sessions with each other. Until one day Denis suggested that Masha go to his aunt’s dacha. She went on vacation and asked to water the flowers. Masha grinned: how primitive! But I went.
On the way, Denis gave her a present - a kinder surprise. According to the Matrosov family tradition, every time something significant happens, you should buy this children's delicacy. The toy that ends up in the egg will determine the course of events.
Masha came across a plane. Everything came true: that year the actress had the opportunity to fly to five or six new countries on different continents!
Marriage and divorce
For three years they seemed to be taking a break from their previous relationship, wandering either to Masha’s parents or to Denis’s parents. Until one day, while walking after a party, the girl plopped down on one knee: “I can’t do this anymore, marry me, Denis!”
The man was taken aback, picked up his beloved, and a few weeks later, on her birthday, he made a real proposal and took Masha to the registry office, but it turned out to be closed. The next time the decisive trip - to submit an application - was timed to coincide with April Fool's Day - April 1. But even then nothing worked: we got stuck in traffic for several hours and arrived after closing.
A family friend, actor Roman Ryabov, took control of the situation. He came to the lovers at dawn, forced Denis to once again fall on his knee and ask for his hand in marriage, and took the couple to the registry office, where they finally submitted an application.
The wedding was fun and playful. Masha fulfilled an old dream - to despise outdated traditions and go to the painting in a T-shirt and jeans. The other couples looked after them in surprise, and the guests just laughed.
The couple planned the birth of a child as the next step, but the busy filming schedule of the already famous artists for ten whole years did not give them the opportunity to have offspring. Their son together, Ivan, was born the same year the couple finally moved into their own house, which had been under construction for a long time.
And three years later, Denis learned that Maria had filed for divorce.

They were considered an ideal happy couple until Masha made such a serious decision - unexpectedly for Denis. He was the last to know about the divorce, he was truly lost, he didn’t understand what was happening. I tried to talk to my beloved.
And for his birthday, he covered the paths in the garden with rose petals and hired a whole orchestra. But Masha only stepped over the beauty and rushed off to meet her friends. She celebrated that birthday with them, rocking on the waves of the Moscow River on a small boat.
They got divorced for a long time. The actress then took back and then returned the statement, until, finally, they put an end to it. Now she lives in another house, two kilometers from the one that was supposed to become their family nest.
They are raising their son together, and they only say good things about each other. None of them have yet commented - what turned out to be the reason for the divorce?

Who is actress Maria Kulikova dating now?
For many years, nothing was known for certain about whether Maria Kulikova had a man. After a divorce from her first husband, the woman was focused only on her career and her son, not giving journalists reasons for gossip, but they still appeared. She was credited with having affairs with Maxim Averin, Andrey Chernyshev and other partners on the set. None of the rumors were ever confirmed.
But recently the actress herself admitted that she is already in a new relationship and is very happy. Maria did not specify who became her chosen one and did not give a name. Journalists and fans again had to think about it.
Friends of the actress made things clear. One of them named the name of Maria Kulikova’s new lover. It was allegedly the actor Vitaly Kudryavtsev. At the time of the rumors, he was in a civil marriage with his colleague Serafima Nizovskaya, familiar to film fans from the TV series “Molodezhka” and “Kitchen”; the couple even have a child together - a son, Savely.
For the sake of Maria Kulikova, according to rumors, Vitaly Kudryavtsev left Serafima and his son. So far, neither Maria nor Vitaly himself have confirmed the information. However, fans recognized the actor in the photographs of their favorite on her Instagram page.
How the relationship develops between Kulikova’s new lover and her son, ex-husband, nothing is known. The actress believes that sharing the ups and downs of her personal life with the public after 40 is indecent. And fans, journalists, and ill-wishers are obliged to respect her position and take into account her opinion. Don't get into her personal space.

It’s a pity that in life there is no husband and wife” (the authors’ spelling and punctuation are preserved hereinafter. - Ed.).
Many appreciated Maria’s humorous caption to the photo: “A very busy day”, “Nothing like a day, productive”, “Routine. Yeah! Many people only dream of such a routine.”
