It's finished! On August 1, the 40-year-old figure skater and her lover, 47-year-old press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, got married! The high-profile ceremony, which the press started talking about back in April, took place in Sochi in the presence of more than a hundred celebrity guests.
“Lady Mail.Ru” tells the love story of a spectacular couple, which has long attracted the greedy attention of thousands of eyes.
Dmitry Peskov and Tatyana Navka
Brittle Ice
A promising and very diligent figure skater Tatyana Navka moved to Moscow from Dnepropetrovsk when she was a 15-year-old girl. Then the talented athlete trained for many years in the USA. Ice skating strengthened her character, brought her great victories and her first love.
Tatyana first saw her colleague, figure skater Alexander Zhulin, when she was 18 - the World Championships were held in Prague. After some time, Zhulin and Navka met again, and Alexander fell in love with the fragile and modest Tatyana. “I got it! - Think. “Only this was not enough!” Zhulin recalls his meeting with the pretty athlete. Tatiana charmed Alexander so much that he left his former wife, figure skating partner Maya Usova.
Navka and Zhulin lived together for fourteen years, ten of them in marriage. The relationship, however, was often tense: due to the fact that both Alexander and Tatyana worked a lot, they had practically no time left for each other. The lovers felt lonely, and Zhulin even tried to leave for another figure skater, Oksana Grischuk, but in the end he stayed with Tatyana.
In 2000, Navka gave her husband a daughter, Sasha. “As a child, I watched the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” and began to dream that I, like her heroine, would someday have a daughter, Alexandra, blonde-haired and big-eyed. That’s exactly what happened,” Navka recalls.
Previously, Tatyana was married to her colleague Alexander Zhulin
During her pregnancy, the figure skater stopped active training and began to spend more time with her husband. At that time the couple lived in the USA. Alexander later admitted that that period was the best in the life of their family: “We loved each other and enjoyed every day. I still remember life in America as a wonderful fairy-tale dream.”
After the birth of her daughter, Tatyana immediately went on the ice. The girl skated together with Roman Kostomarov, and Navka’s husband became the athletes’ coach. Over time, Tatyana began to distance herself from Alexander and showed independence. Zhulin no longer recognized her as the sweet girl she had been during their first meetings.
Family relationships were rapidly deteriorating. The young parents did not see eye to eye on raising their daughter. In addition, when the skaters were invited to work in Russia on the Ice Age project, Tatyana, Alexander and their daughter were forced to move from a spacious house in New York to a small Moscow apartment.
The capital finally divorced the lovers. Navka began to be noticed in the company of Marat Basharov, with whom she skated together in Ice Age. The husband, realizing that his beloved had lost interest in him, decided, as the media wrote, to start a relationship with the young figure skater Natalya Mikhailova, whom he was training at that moment.
A passionate romance broke out between Navka and Basharov; the actor left his family for the sake of the figure skater. The relationship, however, was stormy: they either converged or dispersed. The press was constantly in confusion: news about Navka’s pregnancy was replaced by information that Tatyana and Marat had separated. As a result, the couple finally broke up, Marat found new love- although he remained on friendly terms with Navka.
For some time, Tatyana Navka met with actor Marat Basharov. Tatyana and Marat performed together on the show “Ice Age”
Dmitry Peskov and his second wife, Ekaterina Solotsinskaya
Discord in the Peskov family occurred after that fateful meeting between Dmitry and Navka at a dinner party. It became clear to Peskov’s legal wife that the family could not be saved. Moreover, the woman was disappointed in her husband, whom she had always considered faithful: “It seemed to me that everyone was like this, but mine is definitely different. And when it turned out that he was the same... I became uninterested.”
For a long time, only the closest friends and relatives knew about the feelings between Navka and Peskov. For almost two years, the press actively discussed that there was something connecting the press secretary and the Olympic champion, but there was still no official confirmation of the rumors.
According to the figure skater, her chosen one is not only an active man with golden hands, but also a real pedant: “If the chair is turned differently or a new candle appears in the living room, he will certainly notice. He has been buying the same model of boots for many years in a row. He's used to his jackets hanging in a set order. You understand, even if you have helpers in the house, you can’t provide for everything.”
The couple stopped hiding their romance only in December last year
Over time, journalists and fans of Navka began to wonder: if the figure skater and the new man are doing well and their daughter is already growing up, why won’t the couple marry? “You know, I always understood that a stamp in a passport is not the most important thing in order to preserve love and family. This event will definitely happen in my life, but everything has its time,” Navka stated mysteriously.
From August 1, Tatiana Navka (second from right) will be replaced by Margarita Drobyazko in the Carmen ice show. The wedding guests managed to see the last show with the participation of the ice prima on the eve of the celebration. Also in the photo: Nadezhda Obolentseva, Yana Rudkovskaya, Anastasia Ragozina

The fact that the titled Russian figure skater Tatyana Navka will marry the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov in early August became known quite recently - in July. Due to the high degree of responsibility of the position held by the groom, the couple did not find it possible to advertise their relationship. Tatyana and Dmitry first appeared in public at the opening of the skating rink in GUM in December 2014. And their daughter, Nadya, was born in August last year. The mother did not publish photos of the baby until she was six months old. Nadya has two older sisters and three older brothers - children of Tatyana and Dmitry from previous marriages.
Tatyana Navka and Dmitry Peskov got married
Today it happened main wedding summer. The wedding of Tatyana Navka and Dmitry Peskov took place in Sochi. Congratulations to the newlyweds and look at the first photos from the celebration.
As it became known from an exclusive interview with Tatler magazine, Tatyana will appear before the guests in several outfits. Her main friend, Valentin Yudashkin, sews for her. Most recently, he completed work on a wedding dress for his daughter Galina, who married Peter Maksakov on June 7. Navka and Peskov were among the guests of the celebration. The dresses that Tatyana will wear to replace her wedding dress are created for her by the Edem studio. One of them, red, will be reminiscent of the role of the figure skater in the ice show "Carmen".
The first message to appear was the date and location of the wedding. The ceremony will take place on August 1 at the Rodina Grand Hotel & SPA in Sochi. On the main page of the hotel in the “special offers” section there is an offer with the heading “Wedding at Rodina Grand Hotel & SPA”. Probably, the wedding of Peskov and Navka will increase interest in this location, although not everyone will be able to afford it: the cost of rooms varies from 25,000 to 200,000 thousand rubles. A few days ago, some news portals published information that the costs of accommodation and entertainment for Tatyana and Dmitry’s guests were covered by the owner of Rodina, billionaire Oleg Deripaska. However, this information has not been confirmed. An official representative of Oleg Deripaska commented on the rumors as follows: “The information that the wedding celebration of Tatyana Navka and Dmitry Peskov at the Rodina Grand Hotel & SPA in Sochi will be paid for by Oleg Deripaska is not true.”
The wedding celebrations, as reported by StarHit magazine, will last 4 days. It all starts with the bachelorette party, which will take place today, July 31st. The athlete’s closest friends are invited to attend. Her chosen one refused the bachelor party. On August 1, after visiting the registry office, the holiday will move to the panoramic restaurant "Heaven", which belongs to the Grandhotel "Rodina". Treats for festive table will be delivered from Moscow. It is known that Yana Rudkovskaya and Evgeni Plushenko, Anna Semenovich, Olga Slutsker, the host of the “Evening Urgant” show Alla Mikheeva, Oleg and Lyudmila Mitvol, as well as Navka’s partners in the ice show “Carmen”, which is given at the Iceberg Ice Palace, are invited to the wedding "in Sochi, Alexey Yagudin, Tatyana Totmyanina, Roman Kostomarov, Maria Petrova. By the way, another rumor is connected with “Iceberg”. One of the ice palace employees said that the couple got married back in June, and everyone associated with the Carmen show knows about it. But we won't believe the rumors. As for entertainment, among the artists invited to perform will be Krasnodar groups, for example, the Kuban Choir. A day after the official event, another one is planned for all guests - in Krasnaya Polyana in one of the luxury hotels.
After all the celebrations, the couple, as expected, will go to Honeymoon. Where is still a secret. From August 1 to August 31, Navka has a vacation: in the role of Carmen on the ice arena, she will be replaced by the no less temperamental Margarita Drobyazko.

The significant event took place, as expected, on August 1 in the sunny city of Sochi.
The celebration took place at the Rodina Hotel (RODINA Grand Hotel & SPA) , where numerous guests of the event (about 100) were accommodated. Of course, these were entirely celebrities: the Yudashkins,
Alika Smekhova
Yana Rudkovskaya with her sons and many others.
Navka's friends: Anna Semenovich, Inna Malikova and others were dressed in dresses blue color and the head was decorated with wreaths of flowers.
Anna, of course, stood out in particular. The tight dress emphasized all of Semenovich’s well-known advantages so much that many decided that the singer was turning to plastic surgery.
Perhaps because of the criticism leveled at her on Instagram, Anna changed into a loose-fitting black tunic dress, albeit with an unusual design for wedding celebration print - skulls, in connection with which it also received a portion of criticism.
After all, according to the signs, wedding guests should not wear black; the signs don’t say anything about skulls, but they would be much more appropriate at a Gothic or some other themed wedding.
The bride did not lag behind her friend and also changed her wedding outfits during the wedding.
In the first dress of the Mermaid silhouette with lace sleeves ¾ length and with a beautifully designed open back, Tatyana appeared before her husband and guests on the terrace with a beautiful panoramic view of the Black Sea, where the outdoor wedding ceremony was organized.
To the applause of the guests, the newlyweds exchanged rings and kissed.
The celebration continued in the “Heaven” restaurant-terrace, which is located on the top floor of the “Rodina” hotel. This restaurant is a favorite place for Sochi newlyweds, because by ordering a marriage registration there, you will confirm the catchphrase that “marriages are made in heaven.”
For the wedding banquet, the bride changed into another outfit from Valentin Yudashkin - a dress with short skirt, revealing Tatiana's slender legs and with a long train. Still dance in short dress much more convenient.

The wedding evening was hosted by Ekaterina Varnava and Dmitry Khrustalev (with whom all the guests certainly wanted to take pictures).
Philip Kirkorov also performed for those present.
and Nikolay Baskov,
and a choir of Kuban Cossacks,
in a word, there was no end to the speakers at this festival.
The highlight of the evening for the bridesmaids was the traditional throwing of the bouquet, for which a real fight broke out.
The lucky winner of the lily of the valley trophy was younger sister brides, Natalya.
And for the male guests, the culmination of the holiday was, oddly enough, the bringing out of the wedding cake. There was a whole line of people wanting to take pictures of the delicacy.
Among her relatives, Tatyana’s eldest daughter, Alexandra, was present at the celebration, but her almost the same age and already almost a friend, Dmitry’s 17-year-old daughter from his second marriage, Elizaveta, refused to attend the wedding, because, according to her, she was between two fires - dad and mom.
And Dmitry and Tatyana’s 11-month-old daughter, Nadezhda, spent almost the entire day with the newlyweds.
The bride's friends began the long-awaited celebration on Friday evening, gathering for a bachelorette party. As you know, Dmitry Peskov could not afford such freedom; there were no plans for a bachelor party before the wedding. After the party, Tatyana Navka amazed her friends with her talent during a bright ice show with your participation. The figure skater skated for the last time; after the wedding, Navka went on a month-long “honey” vacation.
For the official ceremony, Tatyana Navka chose an outfit from Valentin Yudashkin. The Olympic champion herself previously willingly reported Tatler magazine last news O wedding dresses. It must be said that the image of the snow-white swan promised by Yudashkin was completely successful.
For the subsequent celebration, Navka wore a gorgeous short dress from the Edem studio. The light outfit successfully emphasized the figure and showed off the slender legs of the 40-year-old figure skater. The snow-white dress was set off by the blue outfits of the bridesmaids, among whom was the unmarried Anna Semenovich.
Famous VIP guests, including Yana Rudkovskaya, Philip Kirkorov, Alika Smekhova, the Yudashkin family, Inna Malikova, Ekaterina Varnava, Nikolai Baskov, the Varum-Agutin family and many others, were entertained by Comedy-Club residents. Tatyana Navka’s eldest daughter, Alexandra, also prepared her own concert number for the young couple.
But Elizaveta Peskova decided not to attend her father’s wedding. As the girl explained in an interview with Gazeta.ru, being between her parents, as if between two fires, she considered it right not to take part in the celebration.
The second day of Navka and Peskov’s wedding coincided with the celebration Day of the Airborne Forces. The bride in a delicate romantic dress and the groom in a vest happily posed with the guests for thematic shots. We will admire it too.
A businessman gave the wedding to Navka and Peskov, but did the groom lend him a watch worth 37 million?
There were also scandalous details related to the action in the media. In addition to congratulating the newlyweds, the public was interested in financial questions: where did the official get so much money for the grandiose three-day event? The day before, businessman Oleg Deripaska, the owner of the Rodina Hotel, where the celebration took place, seemed to shed light, saying that the entire organization of the wedding in the grand hotel and the associated costs were his generous gift to the newlyweds.
During the celebration itself, a watch was seen on Dmitry Peskov’s hand, the cost of which exceeds $600,000. They tried to calm the fuss surrounding an expensive accessory, which can hardly be bought with a civil servant’s salary, by explaining that the watch was either borrowed from a friend for the wedding, or was a gift from Tatyana Navka...
