Four marriage proposals from Nikolai Baskov. Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva: wedding, latest news from personal life Wedding traditions and honeymoon

The wedding of Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva, which, according to Ramzan Kadyrov, will take place on October 5 in Grozny, has become one of the most discussed events of the fall. Fans of the famous singer were surprised that he broke up with his fiancée Sophie Kalcheva and proposed to the blond model. Some even suspected that the celebrity wedding was a successful PR stunt.

Baskov and Lopyreva broke their long silence and for the first time gave a frank interview dedicated to their relationship. The stars appeared in the studio of the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live" to tell your story to the public.

“I'm so glad that my friends and family have a good sense of humor! Turn on the country's highest-rated show today on the Russia 1 channel. I am sure you will have great fun and will finally find out whether the wedding will take place on October 5th. And much more - first-hand. The first and last time,” Lopyreva intrigued on Instagram.

Joseph Prigozhin admitted that he did not expect the engagement of Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva. The stars surprised the producer and his wife Valeria. Many even thought at first that Victoria and Nikolai were joking. “We didn’t understand anything at all! This is the number,” Valeria recalls her reaction. The couple are planning to go to the wedding of Baskov and Lopyreva. “Vika reminds me of a runaway bride. She ran away from everyone,” noted Marina Yudashkina, in turn.

Otar Kushanashvili admitted that he will not go to the wedding. The host fears that the wedding ceremony will be canceled at the last moment. Joseph Prigogine objected to the TV journalist. According to the producer, Baskov has long sympathized with Lopyreva. The artist spoke about this to a friend in confidence.

Nikolai Baskov appeared to the applause of the audience. When the singer entered the studio, everyone stood up. Valeria noticed that the artist looks amazing. It turned out that there would be two weddings - in Grozny and Moscow. When asked about the marriage contract, Nikolai said that he did not feel sorry for anything for a girl like Lopyreva.

“The ring is different. Not five carats, but seven. When Vika and I talked, she said: “You're lucky. The dress is hanging at home. I ordered it when I married Smolov.” I decided to change my image to look more courageous, so now I’m a little brunette,” said Baskov.

Astrologer Pavel Globa noted that October 5 is a good day for politicians. The specialist believes that Nikolai and Victoria chose a good date for the celebration. “The marriage will not just be stellar, but will have a great continuation,” Globa believes.

Nikolai Baskov’s first love, actress Natalya Gromushkina, joined the discussion of the pop star’s wedding. “I found out about this yesterday. To be honest, I thought it was just another show. It turns out that everything is serious. Just look at how he's dressed today. And of course, Vika is charm itself. I wasn’t invited to the wedding, but I insist that I be invited to the bachelor party,” the artist joked.

Among the participants in the program was the bride Victoria Baskova. Victoria Lopyreva spoke for the first time about her wedding with the famous singer. The blonde was greeted with thunderous applause. Victoria thanked the guests of the program for their attention.

“Guys, first of all, I want to say that our union happened because we have a good sense of humor. Both Kolya and I have experience behind us, we are not 18 years old. When many people monitor your personal life, it is destroyed. I don’t post photos because I don’t want to... Whether you believe it or not, I don’t care. We don't want to prove anything to anyone, we just want to live. There is a phrase: “Forgive our happiness and pass by,” the model shared.

The artist’s mother admitted that she asked him to postpone the wedding ceremony. “She lost her father on October 5,” Baskov explained. He also added that the wedding date will be known a little later.

“When Nikolai called, I was overcome with insane joy. I took this news as long-awaited. I realized that my son was ready to start a family. But then they told me the date. October 5th is a day of remembrance in our family... Vika understood this situation. At the moment we are talking about postponing the wedding date. I like Vika, I love my son very much... I would like them to take a closer look at each other,” said Nikolai’s parent Elena Nikolaevna.

At the finale of the program, Nikolai Baskov performed a song that he dedicated to Victoria Lopyreva. The lovers began to dance, as did other studio guests.

On October 15, the singer celebrates his birthday. And we took the opportunity to find out the details of the upcoming wedding, and also remembered all his serious novels.

Where it all started

The first to speak about the wedding of Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva was the President of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov. He posted on his Instagram page a video from the gala reception dedicated to the first match of the Akhmat football club in Grozny.

In this video, Baskov proposes to Lopyreva and gives her a beautiful gold ring with a very noticeable diamond:

“Dear Ramzan Akhmatovich, I ask you to become a witness at our engagement and future wedding. I want to propose to Victoria because I have known this girl for a long time and love her very much. I want to make her the happiest in the world. My heart belongs completely to her, and there is no other woman in my thoughts.”

Ramzan Kadyrov, in turn, promised to support the young people and offered to celebrate the wedding in Grozny. All this happened in front of the eyes of figure skater Evgeni Plushenko and his wife Yana Rudkovskaya, singer Valeria, rapper Timati, actor Igor Vernik...

There's going to be a wedding?!

The wedding was planned for October 5th. But due to a number of circumstances, the lovers postponed the celebration indefinitely and promised that they would definitely tell about it in advance. More details

As Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov said: “In Grozny you can get married, but you cannot get divorced.”

By the way, the wedding will be alcohol-free. In Chechnya, you can’t not only get divorced, but also drink.

“I was not just a witness to the engagement, but a cameraman, filming what was happening on my phone,” producer Joseph Prigozhin told Antenna. – I saw how Kolya put a ring on Victoria’s finger! It was a pleasant shock. I’ll quote the lines from the song: “Love will unexpectedly appear when you least expect it.” And so it happened. A flame ignited from a spark. Kolya Baskov says that he liked Victoria for a long time. And Vika said: “All my life I dreamed that Nikolai Baskov would officiate my wedding.” I replied that her dream had come true and Kolya would not only officiate the wedding, but would make Vika happy every day. I think she's lucky. Kolya is a very cheerful, decent guy, a holiday person. They look great together. After the engagement, Vika and Kolya danced a lezginka. However, everyone had to dance it. Both Valeria and I had our debut that day. Even former CSKA coach Valery Gazzaev danced.”

Guest marriage is a thing of the past

It is worth noting that when Basque announced his wedding with Lopyreva, many were shocked. But what about Sophie Kalcheva, with whom Nikolai’s relationship lasted for three years?

Here's how the singer told Antenna about them:

“I'm not 20 years old. Sometimes, when you are very tired, you want to sleep alone... I am a creative person and I understand perfectly well: life with me is not easy, but Sophie puts up with me. A woman in love should have enough wisdom to accept a man as he is, especially a mature one - forty years old. Today there is a wonderful term - “guest marriage”. Believe me, it is very popular these days, although this form of relationship may seem abnormal to the older generation. But understand, with my crazy life (constant touring and filming), such a union is convenient for me. It suits both me and Sophie. I don't want to think about what will happen tomorrow or in a year. Now we feel good together. We enjoy life."

Then the artist, as if on a subconscious level, gave himself a chance to break up with Sophie. Talking to Antenna before his anniversary, he admitted that after 40 years he expects big changes in his life, including his personal one. True, he later asked me to cross out this phrase of his.

If you believe the singer’s close circle, the relationship with Sophie really gradually began to fade away. The couple spent less and less time together, and since April of this year, photos of them together have no longer appeared on social networks. Sophie began independent concert activity, which is produced by Basque. He intends to continue to supervise his former lover - Nikolai has always drawn a clear line between work and personal life. Fans also noticed that Basque and Sophie are now vacationing in different places, and when they participate in joint concerts in other cities, they live in different rooms.

“Why can Leonid Agutin and Angelika Varum do this, but I, at 40 years old, can’t?” – Basque once threw out to journalists.

“Everyone has temptations,” Nikolai shared in a frank interview with Antenna. – Usually I get used to a person, and I feel comfortable. But it happened that during a serious relationship I suddenly realized that I could not be with this person. I woke up in the morning and felt that I shouldn’t force myself. After all, I told Sophie (and other women) that if we start to create some problems, feel discomfort from communication, then we need to solve everything in such a way that we don’t hate each other later. There is only one life, no one will give us another.”

Apparently, this is exactly the situation that the couple began to experience, after which they mutually decided to separate.

“I once proposed to Sophie,” Baskov admitted, “but she said: “Why is this necessary, we’re already doing well.” I am grateful to Sonya for the period of our happiness. We separated, but remained not strangers to each other.”

Nicholas's favorite women

Baskov has many novels under his belt. Let's focus on the most significant ones.

Svetlana Shpigel, daughter of producer Boris Shpigel. Nikolai was married to her for seven years. In this marriage, Baskov had a son, Bronislav. In November 2007, a difficult divorce process began, which lasted six months.

Oksana Fedorova, TV presenter, Miss Universe – 2002. The couple's relationship began immediately after Nikolai's divorce. At the beginning of their romance, Oksana was still married to German businessman Philip Toft. In 2009, at a music festival in Jurmala, Nikolai even proposed marriage to Oksana. But the wedding never happened. In 2010, the couple separated.

Anastasia Volochkova, ballerina. Baskov announced this affair on social networks in the summer of 2011, posting a photo in which Nastya slept on his naked chest. This novel by Baskov was bright, but fleeting. Already in winter the couple separated.

Victoria Lopyreva

According to the model and TV presenter, she owes her external data to her parents. Lopyreva’s mother (also a former model) still looks amazing.

Victoria recalled that she had no intention of entering the Don Photo Model competition, which she won at the age of 16 in her native Rostov-on-Don.

But she didn’t feel comfortable refusing the person who called. Then Vika successfully combined her studies (piano class at the Tchaikovsky Music School, Rostov University of Economics) and her modeling career, receiving the title “Miss Russia” in 2003.

In April, at the award ceremony of the Miss Russia 2017 beauty contest, Baskov invited Lopyreva to dance. He shared this video on Instagram with the caption: “Dear Vika Lopyreva, every time I’m with you it’s a great pleasure.” “I miss you already,” the beauty wrote in response and decorated the message with three hearts. Later, Victoria called Baskov “beloved” on the Internet, which provoked rumors of an affair. Well, then Nikolai posted a photo of them together from Turkey with the caption: “Together again, close again... It seems like old friends, but every meeting is like the first time!”

Meanwhile...

We called the winner of the TNT show “Battle of Psychics” Victoria Raidos. It was she who predicted the birth of her third son to singer Natalie. Here's what the famous psychic said about the breakup between Baskov and Sophie:

– For Nikolai and Sophie this is the finale. For some time they were for each other's benefit. It was a warm relationship. Passionate. Lungs. But not for long. Now their paths are diverging, and they will no longer be together. Nikolai will complete some creative work he started with her, he won’t give up halfway, but according to fate, they have already parted ways, they will no longer be together. I see no offense or scandal. The solution is peaceful, mutual (read more).

Nikolai Baskov’s personal life has cracked again. The singer recently dreamed of a luxurious wedding celebration, but now everything has changed.

Just recently, both Victoria and Nikolai enthusiastically talked about their relationship. Vika promised: she would definitely marry Baskov if the Russian national team players became world champions. Will losing now put an end to their relationship? Basque says: clouds have gathered over them.

“We have a difficult, complex relationship,” the singer confesses. - I don’t know what they will lead to. Maybe for a wedding, maybe for a friendly relationship. We are emotional, passionate people. But I am grateful to Victoria. She changed a lot in my life: both attitude and perception. I began to look at my life more sportily. Happy that one of the most beautiful girls is a part of me. But for now there is no talk of a wedding.

The singer himself does not hide: his unsettled personal life haunts him. Moreover, before our eyes is a vivid example of parents who have been living in a happy marriage for more than forty years.

Family life is my main failure,” the singer laments. - I really want to be a happy person, but I can’t. Perhaps because of my great love for myself. So far in life I still have a bridge, but it is shaky!

I met guys at parties who were in “The Voice”, but could not realize themselves and become successful,” the singer sighs. - The state when you feel the courage that you are loved, and then suddenly forgotten, is a scary thing for a creative person to experience.

Basque doesn't expect his religious songs to become hits. The public is accustomed to hearing something slightly different: give them Shnur.

“I love the Leningrad group, we often work at custom concerts,” says Nikolai. - I can listen to two or three songs, but then I need to be in an alcoholic stupor. It becomes dirty and uncomfortable. It turns out that creativity strikes at the base and ceases to glorify the main thing.

Nikolai himself is trying to introduce the audience to the lofty. The singer admitted that he will soon surprise his fans. “Natural Blonde” decided to appear in a new role - he will release an album of spiritual songs. As it turned out, the Basques turned to the topic of religion not by accident.

We, artists, sing about happy and unhappy love, I sang a lot of funny and popular songs,” says the artist. - The topic of spirituality captured me at the moment when I found myself on the operating table. It all happened suddenly, I lost consciousness. After this, a turning point occurred, I became interested in history and religions. When we feel bad, we all turn to God, we want to make sure that we are loved. I recorded the album “I Believe”, there will be seventeen songs on a spiritual theme, not a pop program at all!

However, Nikolai Baskov openly admits: all mortal sins are inherent in him. He even thought about murder! As it turned out, this happened during the most difficult periods of his life.

There were moments when I was so betrayed that I imagined scenes in my head: “I wish I could kill him!” - said the singer.

In the meantime, Basque is actively resting - for example, he was recently spotted in the company of Alla Pugacheva.

We met Alla Borisovna in Sardinia,” says Nikolai. “She asked me: “What’s going on in show business?” I replied that I was not interested. “Lately I’m not interested either. I’m getting ready for my anniversary!” I haven’t seen the singer so peaceful and happy for a long time.

The relationship between the famous Russian singer Nikolai Baskov and model and TV presenter Victoria Lopyreva has been talked about for several months now. Only recently it became known that the lovers actually decided to get married.

All rumors about the upcoming wedding of Basque and Lopyrev were dispelled when they came to Andrei Malakhov’s show. They revealed that they were actually planning to get married. The date of the event has already been set (October 5), but at the behest of his mother, Nikolai postpones the magnificent celebration. The thing is that on this day his grandfather passed away, so the fun will be unnecessary.

The singer's fiancee believes that the wedding should take place after the football championship is over. This means that the ceremony should take place no earlier than July next year. The lovers assure that this is the right thing to do, and that they cannot get married without the blessing of Nikolai’s mother.

Is it true that the wedding will take place in Chechnya?

At a reception in honor of the first match of the Akhmat football club in the city of Grozny, Nikolai proposed to Lopyreva. He presented her with a gorgeous diamond ring. Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov himself told the public about the event, who later stated that he wanted to organize a wedding celebration for the couple in love as a present.

Basque himself declares that he wants to hold two celebrations: both in Chechnya and in the capital of Russia. It is planned that the witnesses at the wedding will be the famous singer Valeria and the President of the Chechen Republic. If the event takes place next year, it can safely be called the wedding of the year.

Basque and Lopyreva - a love story

The news that Nikolai and Victoria decided to be together excited fans of the young people. The thing is that the singer never announced that he broke up with Sophie Kalcheva, with whom he lived for 3 years.

Now Nikolai claims that their relationship would not have ended in marriage. They felt good together, but the couple began to be seen less and less often. Even Basque and Kalcheva vacationed in different places.

The famous singer has known Victoria for more than 10 years. They hosted ceremonial events together, and Baskov asked Lopyreva to be a co-host, explaining this with the girl’s incredible charm and her ability to improvise well.

One day, the singer stood up for Vika when a scandal broke out on the plane’s ramp (the girl refused to turn off her mobile phone and show her boarding pass). Rumors about their romance spread in the spring of 2017, when the couple danced together at the closing of the Miss Russia competition. Then Basque and Lopyreva corresponded on social networks, hinting that this evening was unforgettable for them.

Baskov and Lopyreva on the “New Wave”

At the gala concert of the New Wave competition, Nikolai and Victoria were presenters. In this role, they constantly emphasized their relationship. Basque performed songs, his bride filmed the performances on her phone and sent him air kisses. In between songs by other performers, the lovers exchanged phrases about the upcoming wedding ceremony: that the bride does not plan to throw the bouquet, will not have a bachelorette party, etc.

In addition, Lopyreva and Baskov played jealous husband and wife. Vika asked to spend more time with her, and not with Nonna Grishaeva on “TV,” and Nikolai jokingly threatened to kill his bride if she constantly attended football matches.

In addition, Baskov told why he changed his image. He dyed his hair brunette to look more masculine. At the end of the release, Basque dedicated a musical composition to his beloved.

Nikolai Baskov, a popular Russian singer, has never made a secret of his personal life. He easily provided the opportunity for numerous fans to observe the details of his novels.

The news was sensational that Nikolai Baskov proposed to Victoria Lopyreva. However, the wedding, scheduled for October 5, 2017, did not take place. The Bride and Groom announced that they had postponed the celebration indefinitely.

By the way, Nikolai Baskov proposed to almost all the women with whom he had relationships. Only once did Nikolai tie himself with the knot of Hymen. Let's try to figure out whether there are high chances that Miss Russia 2003 and the “Golden Voice of Russia” will become legal husband and wife.

Romance with the producer's daughter

The first time Nikolai Baskov married Svetlana Shpigel, the daughter of an influential and wealthy man, Boris Isaakovich Shpigel. At that time, Boris Shpigel was a member of the Federation Council and was engaged in commercial activities, including producing.

In 2000, he drew attention to the work of the young singer Nikolai Baskov. The project began to bring in good profits. The affair with the producer’s daughter began to develop in parallel with the rise of Nikolai’s career. In 2001, Nikolai Baskov married Svetlana Shpigel.

Svetlana Shpigel entered the international English college in 1993, and after graduation she entered the Faculty of Law at Moscow State University.

Before her marriage, Svetlana Shpigel was engaged in her own PR agency “Success”, whose clients at different times were Philip Kirkorov and Taisiya Povaliy. Nikolai Baskov was also a client of this agency, and when Svetlana married him, she became more involved with her family.

In 2006, the couple had a son, Bronislav. In 2007, relations between the spouses deteriorated, and in 2008 the couple divorced. The divorce was painful and long. As a result, the son remained to live with his mother.

At birth, Baskov’s son received a double surname - Shpigel-Baskov. After the divorce, Svetlana changed her son’s surname, today he is simply Bronislav Shpigel.

Svetlana soon married Ukrainian businessman Vyacheslav Sobolev. She gave birth to a daughter from her new husband, and also divorced him.

After the well-known events in Ukraine, her husband decided to break all contacts with Russia, including with his wife and children. They said that Nikolai Baskov's son called Svetlana's new husband dad, and didn’t communicate with Nikolai at all. Svetlana lived in Israel for a long time, but recently information appeared in the media that she returned to Moscow.

Miss Universe

Soon after the divorce, Nikolai Baskov began an affair with Oksana Fedorova, a TV presenter, police officer and winner of the Miss Universe title. Their relationship lasted two years, and few people believed in their authenticity.

Many considered their romance to be a spectacular PR stunt, which greatly offended the beautiful Fedorova: - Why? Isn't it possible to love him? Doesn't he have enough virtues? “He is a wonderful person, a strong and handsome man,” Fedorova was perplexed.

Oksana believed that she had more feelings than Baskov, and this bothered them a little. On the other hand, she agreed, a woman is always missing something...

On March 3, 2011, at one of the concerts, Basque publicly announced that he and Oksana were no longer a couple. This turn of events came as a surprise to the beauty queen. She guessed that the relationship with Nikolai would soon end, but I didn’t think it would happen this way. It must be said that at one time Basque also publicly proposed to Fedorova, but the wedding never took place.

Guest marriage

Baskov, as he himself put it, had a “guest marriage” with singer Sophie Kalcheva. According to the singer, freedom and the opportunity to be alone were very important to him at that time. The life partner provided such an opportunity, and this suited both of them.

Nikolai and Sophie were first seen together at the New Wave 2014 festival, and since then the couple began to appear together often. Sophie Kalcheva, a graduate of the Moscow Variety and Circus School, was a backing vocalist for Lev Leshchenko, collaborated with Bilan, but did not achieve great popularity.

The affair with Baskov also did not give her any career bonuses, except for rare mentions in the gossip column. It is known that Sophie is raising a son from another man. Basque, in his own words, also proposed marriage to Sophie, but she refused.

And another beauty queen

This time Nikolai Baskov has surpassed himself. He proposed marriage to Victoria Lopyreva in the city of Grozny, at a gala reception in honor of the first match of the Akhmat football club in Grozny.

The head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov himself “shared” the news by posting a video on his Instagram. Basque invited the head of the republic to be a witness at the wedding, which was to take place on October 5 in the city of Grozny. But it didn’t happen.

According to the bride and groom, due to both being so busy, they are unable to properly prepare for the celebration. In addition, Nikolai's father died on October 5.

The Internet public is divided into two camps - some wish the newlyweds happiness, while others do not believe in this wedding at all. It's time to place bets.

Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva have known each other for 10 years, and all this time the singer felt sympathy for the beauty. Lopyreva dreamed that Basque would officiate her wedding.
