The husband of Elena Kuletskaya Stanislav Romanovsky. Model Lena Kuletskaya: biography, career, personal life. TV career
My childhood is an endless journey. Many people think that my father is an oligarch and that he promoted me in my career. But I have an ordinary Soviet family: my father is a military man, lieutenant colonel, an employee of a research institute, and my mother is a nurse. And we were happy! It seems to me that modern children are not so carefree, although they have more opportunities than we had. In general, it is difficult to say where all this talk about the oligarch comes from. Probably, in our country they simply do not like the so-called self-made people, especially women. If a person appears in a secular chronicle, travels, succeeds, then criticism and negativity fly to him. In fact, so justify the laziness of others. Dad was transferred to Moscowwhen I was six. Here I went to school. We had a dorm room in Moscow regionbut we lived in Moscowrented an apartment. I used to move every six months, so I changed seven schools. My friends also changed accordingly, and I did not become attached to the place and people. This helped me a lot in the modeling business, I can easily adapt to new conditions. My behavior was not always exemplary; as a rule, I joined the company. But everything was in order with the studies, I graduated from high school with one four. Everything related to the exact sciences turned out by itself.
Dress, ESVE, maisonesve.com; earrings, Treasure store; shoes, Next Our dad is strict, could punish, demanded achievements. In summer, I learned English when my friends ran around on the street. He always said, "Then you say thank you."And when I first went abroad alone, I really remembered dad and mentally said thanks. If I had a more trusting relationship with my parents, perhaps I could have avoided some mistakes. I remember how at age 14 I pierced my belly button. Everything inflamed, and only then did I go to my parents. Dad set the framework: at 11, the daughter should be at home. And mother sometimes covered. Once I came home like a huge snowball - my friends and I were riding a roller coaster. I was in a faux fur coat and with a huge combed forelock. It was considered wildly fashionable at the time. As a result, dad took me for this very forelock and - straight to the bathroom! I was always like a kid, femininity, tenderness and sophistication were few. Of course, I did not dream of becoming a model.When the first glossy magazines appeared, my favorite was Cosmopolitan, I bought it every month and stacked it near the bed. I was interested in topics of relationships and sex, not clothes and cosmetics. We never discussed these issues with our parents. In general, the boys in school did not particularly care for me, I was not the queen of the class. I had short hair, and when they grew, I braided them in braids - not very romantic. I wore loose-fitting clothes and was not a “girl” at all. In high school, boyfriends appeared, but the lines did not line up. I didn’t paint before the age of 15 and did not lose weight, like all the girls did. After school, my dad and I decided that I needed to go to a lawyer. By the way, dad studied all “promising” professions. I did not resist. Already closer to 16 years old, in the first year of the institute, I spent a lot of time with classmates who actively used cosmetics, were beauties. I learned a lot by looking at them, and even started wearing skirts. 
When I came to the agency, I was offered to undergo training. There was no money to pay for a model school, but I did not ask my parents for help. And my mother noticed how upset I was and allocated me funds for this school. I began to study, use cosmetics, walk in heels correctly. In principle, this knowledge was not useful to me, since such staged moments have little in common with the realities of the model business. I worked as a hostess at exhibitions and presentations. In general, I earned my first money at the age of 12 and gave it to my mother. In the studio it was necessary to collect as many lightnings as possible from a huge number of unnecessary things. And their child labor was not forbidden. Mom returned this money to me, of course, then I spent it on Sneakers and " Kinder surprises ». Later, while working as a hostess, I began to receive offers to "go to dinner." Of course, I did not understand what kind of dinner it was. My parents will not let me go! And what kind of work is this - come to eat, why don't they pay for it? In general, these “dinners” were held in some completely vicious places and at a very late time, I did not get to any of them. From time to time, scouts from other countries came to the agency. So, once I went through a casting in a French modeling agency. As I remember now, I was wearing a short tight-fitting blue dress, in which I later arrived in Paris. After the casting, I was asked to sign a blank white sheet, but as a lawyer I refused. However, everything turned out well: the agency agreed to first draw up the documents, and only then get my signature. Then, with me, the actress came to the casting Anna Gorshkova (32), she was still a minor and could fly to France only with parental permission. Her mother agreed, but only on condition that she would personally accompany her daughter, it was calmer for my parents as well. The agency invited us for three months, initially paying all our expenses. For me it was something simply incredible - for the first time, a vacation abroad and immediately Paris!In addition, Dad was pleased: it was not in vain that we moved to Moscow. At night I dreamed that green men were walking in Paris, and besides, upside down - before that there was an excited brain. The first thing we saw when we arrived at the Champs Elysees is people dressed, as it seemed to us, completely tasteless! Crumpled linen pants, lack of heels ... And here we are - girls in short dresses in heels! It took me a while to get rid of Soviet stereotypes and understand that naturalness, loose hair, and the lack of makeup are beautiful. At first, when I started going to auditions, the reviews of the photographers were not the best. Yes, they said that the girl is beautiful, but as cold as the Snow Queen, we are simply afraid of her. And at the casting you need to relax, be sociable, and not clamped. 
Of the models, I now communicate closely with Zhenya Volodina (31). She is a world friend, she always helped and even provided me with her apartment in New york citywhen I came there to work. Of course, a near-bohemian party boils more in New york city, than in Parisbut there I knew almost nobody. However, after a Facebook post that I was in New York, literally three hours later I found all the familiar models. We went to clubs where Leonardo DiCaprio (41), Gerard Butler (46) and Mickey Rourke (63) often appeared. By that time, I was already not very subservient to the stars of this level. My first welcome was the Elton John annual charity ball (69), to which he called 220 people.I was invited to him by Mr. Graff, then we just had a weekly shoot for Graff in London. And I felt that this was no longer just a shoot. I represent the brand: I have a necklace, rings, earrings on me. This was my first exit, everything was gorgeous! The stars that I saw only on TV asked how my business was! Mickey Rourke and I lived in New York next door and hung out together. He began to look after my girlfriend. She did not reciprocate, but neither did she reject him. In short, I turned out to be a “vest”, I had to listen to his reasoning about why she was so cold, he asked me to write to her and immediately asked what she said. Once we both ended up in London and together went to Gq. Before that, Mickey was already seen with a Russian model Nastya Makarenko. And so, we were photographed together - of course, the press declared me his girlfriend. But we did not meet, there was no relationship. Of course, many believe that an affair with a Hollywood actor is an indisputable plus in his career. But I do not, not in the case when he is three times older than you. And even if we really had a relationship, most likely I would try to hide it. 
In general, neither my husband nor I have a habit of maintaining some kind of friendly relations with the former and continuing to communicate. Separated - means dispersed. We can send SMS to each other once or twice a year. I must say that there was no contract. Was this story a part of PR - yes, because any publication and drawing attention to your person is PR-public relations, public relations. It’s just that our relations organically came to naught, there wasn’t even a specific point. When I started dating my future husband, Dima and I were no longer interested in each other’s personal life, although I spent a lot of time in Moscow because of working on TV. We met Stas during the filming of the “Shopaholics” program on the MTV channel, where I was the presenter, and he was the director of photography. He very competently began to show signs of attention, and I was not very spoiled by them, since European men are rather reserved for courtship. Stas, with his attention, warm, sweet messages and daily wishes for a good morning and a good day, was very attractive to him. I used to be independent, and it was difficult for me to switch to a serious relationship with an eye on a partner. Nowadays, every person is so independent and independent that we all lack a healthy share of dependence and need. I did not immediately understand that I love Stas, that I want to marry him. As a rule, people build their behavior in relationships based on previous experience. And my previous relationship (with the American) was rather vague. Yes, we lived together, but each was on its own.

Biography
The future model Elena Kuletskaya was born in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov in 1982.

Elena Kuletskaya and Dima Bilan

Work on television

Elena Alexandrovna was born in one of the largest Ukrainian cities - Kharkov. His father's work in the military sphere was the reason for frequent travels. In 1998, Moscow became the new place of residence.
As a part-time student, Elena chose modeling. She performed at shows, participated in promotional exhibitions. In 2001, Kuletskaya’s first trip to Paris, the capital of the fashion industry, took place. The girl received an invitation to participate in the casting from the scout.

The popularity in Russia of Kuletskaya was brought by shooting in the advertisement of Orbit chewing gum. The model even got an affectionate nickname - Tooth.
A television career began in 2010 at the Cinderella 2.0 reality show. As part of the jury, Elena contributed to the transformation of girls from simpletons into real ladies. After the show, "Dancing with the Stars", where the model conquered the dance floor paired with actor Yevgeny Pazenko, started.

The Kinotavr festival held in Sochi was remembered not only by the scale of the event and spectacular outfits of the stars. So, top model Elena Kuletskaya and her husband, director of photography Stanislav Romanovsky, first brought to light the one-year-old daughter Nika. the site not only held an exclusive photo shoot with the friendly family in the Rosa Chale premium complex, located at an altitude of 1170 meters above sea level in the Rosa Khutor mountain resort, but also talked with young parents about what age is best to have a child and how to keep passion in the relationship after the baby is born.
website: Lena, how has life changed with the birth of a daughter?
Elena Kuletskaya: Much has changed, but I can’t say that life has become radically different. I am not one of those girls who believe that with the birth of a child their only role is to be a mother. Naturally, children are wonderful, they fill the life of the family with meaning, but on one motherhood the light did not converge. Having given birth, you still continue to be a woman, wife, personality. It is not at all necessary to put an end to “normal life”, to give up everything that made you happy in the past and radically change your habits. Moreover, you don’t have to tiptoe around the child, otherwise you can grow him capricious, demanding, which is why you yourself will freak out. As they say, the best is for children. And the best mom is a happy mom, and everyone is happy in their own way. For joy, someone needs to immerse themselves in caring for a child, and someone needs to immediately return to work or run to the gym, restore their shape. There is no identical formula, as it is right. The most important thing is your personal harmony and balance.
E. K.: I don’t know which one I will become - strict or, conversely, soft. So far, my daughter is only a year old, and the time has not yet come to thoroughly choose a method of education. Now, if a child is crying, then this is only an expression of his internal discomfort, and not some whims. Nick has not yet learned how to manipulate. And while she is at this age, it is better to rely not on certain principles of education, but on care, care and love. Well, and obviously not to provoke tantrums. For example, if a child saw his mother eating a cookie, then, naturally, he would also want to try it, because the children completely mirror us. Of course, you can forbid and listen to offended screams, but you can eat sweets unnoticed and not make the baby nervous because he did not get what he wanted.
Stanislav Romanovsky: Good. I like! (Laughs) But seriously, no interviews can convey what it means to be a parent. And that feeling still comes. With a small child, new emotions appear every day: how she had breakfast, how she woke up, how she smiled. Watching Niki's little accomplishments is a special pleasure.
E. K.: As in many young families, our mother is on maternity leave, and my father works.
S. R .: Yes, with the birth of Nicky, my work did not decrease, so I combine business and family. I can’t say that I see my daughter often - rather rarely. But I know how difficult it is for mom, she needs to be absent from her work, so I try to help as much as possible. Lena once left for two days, and then almost all the time I was with my daughter one on one.
S. R .: It happens yes (both laugh). In which case we always have grandmothers in the wings. We do not yet use the services of nannies, because in the first years we want to give our child our love.
E. K.: Filming and traveling in my life remained, only lined up a bit in a different rhythm. When Nika more or less returned to normal, the daily routine made it easier to combine work and motherhood. If you understand what time the child is sleeping and when he needs to be fed, you can quickly run away about your business. So a month after giving birth, I sent my daughter out for a walk with my grandmother, ran out of the house for three hours and managed to resolve work issues.
website: Who should spend more time with a newborn - mother or father?
S. R .: I think that if a baby can do without a dad, then without a mom - no way. Her feeding and love are indispensable. Rather, a child needs a more adult.
website: Can having a baby affect a woman’s career?
E. K.: Someone returns to work almost immediately after discharge from the hospital, and someone has been on maternity leave for three years. Both options are normal. If you are happy to work and be a mother, then why not. In our century, when you have a bunch of helpers and things that simplify caring for a child, including diapers and baby monitors, it's a sin to complain. Naturally, it gets harder. Part of the time is spent on the baby, part is spent on work, and zero remains on itself. You have to sacrifice something. It is impossible to give such advice, following which you will become both an ideal mother, and an ideal wife, and an ideal employee, as well as a written beauty. Each woman for herself determines what is more important to her at the moment and what she is ready to temporarily refuse. The main thing is to live without fanaticism and to realize that everything has its time.
I personally understand that without Nicky, I'm nowhere. And the career, for the construction of which I plowed 24 hours a day, remained in the past. But no regrets. I learned how to prioritize.
E. K.: I never got to the gym and beauty salons. Only once managed to get out on a facial treatment here in Sochi, on the "Rose Farm". Of course, I would like to see my friends more often, and go on dates with my husband ... But I began to appreciate the moments when Stas and I still manage to go somewhere together, for example, to the theater.
E. K.: As you can see, we went to the Kinotavr with the whole family (smiles). She took her daughter and mother with her to shoot a television project that went on for three weeks in Georgia. And I cancel all short trips. Only once, about which Stas mentioned, left Nick alone, she was then seven months old. I had to lead the award in Vladivostok, and taking a child with me so far for one day did not make sense. But I did everything so that she was comfortable: I reduced my absence to a minimum, stuffed the entire freezer with milk supplies ... We still continue breastfeeding, although now these feedings have been reduced only to night. But earlier it was very convenient: you can feed your child anywhere without any problems.
E. K.: Not. I am against radical restrictions. If you want to go out somewhere and need to feed the child, then, of course, you need to do this. For example, in such cases I was looking for a nook, covered myself with a wide shawl so as not to shock others, so to speak.
website: How old are you planning to feed Nika with your milk?
E. K.: At first I thought that this would last until the eighth month, but the feeding somehow smoothly and favorably continued, so I decided: not bad, and up to a year. Now Nika is a year and two months old, during the day she eats quite an adult meal, she can easily eat my bowl of soup and leave me without dinner ... But at night she still clings to me. It is possible that I will breastfeed for a few more months. The main thing is that the child is calm, and this is not a burden to me.
site: Some women resort to plastic surgery after breastfeeding in order to return to their previous forms. What do you think of this correction?
E. K.: Let's see what happens (laughs). To date, in terms of size, I see only pluses: in dresses I just have a great neckline! But, of course, I think about possible problems and try to prevent them. During pregnancy, I used all kinds of creams, oils from stretch marks. Either these are genes, or the action of special tools, but I did not have stretch marks. When the feeding period began, I resorted to firming gels. I read on the forums that if you smoothly wean a baby from breast milk, then the breast will not lose shape. If everything goes differently for me, then I’ll think about how to fix the situation. In general, I have no definitive judgments about plastic surgery, if it goes to the benefit of beauty and family happiness, why not (laughs).
website: Stas, how did you feel about changes in the appearance of your spouse during her pregnancy?
S. R .: If you love, then you don’t notice any changes. Especially when you understand why this is all happening. Yes, I heard about such cases when the children are already five years old, and their mothers still have not returned to shape after childbirth. I partially understand their husbands: they have suffered for some time and are already beginning to hint that it is time to change something. But we, of course, do not have this. Lena quickly returned to form, and to wish for me something more would be crazy.
E. K.: Yes, Stas should be given credit, because for pregnancy I gained more than the average norm - 16 kilograms! Now, when I look at photos taken in recent months, I understand that it looked like a swollen donut (laughs). Even the husband looks and is surprised! Now the difference is visible, and then all these changes were not particularly noticeable, the weight was gaining smoothly. Most increased in the waist, of course. I remember joking with model friends that I now have a meter in my waist!
. How did you manage to return to pre-pregnancy forms?
E. K.: First of all, genes. Secondly, if you were originally in good physical shape, then after childbirth the body itself will quickly return to normal. It happened to me a month after she left the hospital. Honestly, I didn’t go to the gym, since breast-feeding does not recommend physical activity. But the child is the best dumbbell. My diet was completely normal, the first two months I was on the notorious lactating diet - when it is allowed to eat exclusively steamed, stewed and boiled. But the body came off on rolls and marmalade, and I missed fresh salads and seafood, and at three months old baby I decided to return to normal food, without any diets. Nevertheless, I never dismissed myself, although I can eat after nine in the evening, I can periodically afford both a cake and a burger. But all this is rather an exception. Mostly I prefer salads, fresh vegetables, meat and grilled fish. So I eat what I like, and therefore I do not have to limit myself.
website: Have you encountered a phenomenon such as postpartum depression?
E. K.: Naturally, after childbirth and after constant lack of sleep, emotions jump. You rejoice, you cry with the child. In general, you understand a little what is happening to you. But I still escaped a condition like depression. I approached both conception and gestation with understanding. Throughout pregnancy, she consulted with her gynecologist, who advised drinking vitamins, omega-3s and fatty acids. All this together helped me avoid postpartum depression.
E. K.: Do not go headlong into motherhood, remember about your soulmate. If a wife is busy 24 hours a day with a child, and she forgets to hug her husband, it is no wonder that the husband runs the risk of looking around. He also needs attention. Moving a husband to a sofa or to another room means taking the first step so that the man begins to realize himself not as a member of the family, but as an unnecessary appendage.
Sleepless nights, of course, are very exhausting, and it’s hard to get used to them, but do not emphasize this with shaggy hair and bruises under the eyes. It is quite possible to devote in the morning only five minutes of your appearance. For example, after washing, I always apply concealer to the area under the eyes, a highlighter for greater radiance, and eyebrow gel. I mascara lightly on my eyelashes, comb my hair and, voila, I already have a more or less decent look. Actually, five minutes - and you look like a man.
website: Are there life hacks for girls who are going to have a baby for the first time?
E. K.: All of us girls are very carefully preparing for childbirth: we read forums, we consult with specialists. We all know the benefits of breastfeeding, but only a few know how to prepare your body for it. After all, in fact, this is a very complex process. We will give birth anyway. What courses do not go, what experts do not attend - at the crucial moment all the information will be forgotten anyway, and you will do what the midwife says. But to read how to arrange breastfeeding, how to apply a baby, how to prevent stagnation is very important. And it is also important to know how to take care of the child in the first days of his life. I remember my panic after discharge ... In the hospital, all the procedures were provided by nurses, I just watched and remembered, they seemed so simple! But in the very first hours of the house, when you find yourself face to face with a crying baby, you don’t know what to grab onto - you’re afraid to drop it or break it.
Another important topic is shopping! It seems to any young mother that you just need to buy everything! In the end, even what is not needed is bought. And I had it. Therefore, I can name my top 5 most necessary things for the baby: diapers, cream for diapers, cotton pads, scissors for baby nails and breast milk! (Laughs) Everything else is unnecessary frills.
And the older the child becomes, the more you begin to wonder if all these blinking and singing plastic toys are needed. For example, you bring this toy in a bag happy home, and the kid is interested in ... a bag, not what is inside! (Laughs) It is rightly said that with a second child you already reduce the amount of expenses by 50 percent.
S. R .: And it seems to me that not at 50, but at 80 percent!
website: Psychologically, what can a young mother do without?
E. K.: Without communication. Alone, you seem to be in some kind of vacuum of your own. In the media world, everyone talks about their "ideal" motherhood. In life, everything turns out differently, and it seems that something is wrong with you. But if someone talks about real problems, then people breathe a sigh of relief: "We are not the only ones, which means we are normal too." I have exactly the same. I get a lot of information from my subscribers. We have gathered our very warm circle there, mainly to laugh at the next everyday situation. The question arises - for example, I caught a cold - I talk about it on my page on Instagram, and subscribers immediately send a billion solutions to the problem. I, in turn, share some finds and life hacks that make life easier for a young mother, or I just speak with irony about my life with my daughter. Told with humor, the situation ceases to be a problem. He smiled, exhaled, and life goes on.
. How do you feel about the fact that parents give all kinds of gadgets to their children?
E. K.: We do not yet show Nick cartoons on tablets and phones. Naturally, she sees that we are using these devices and asks to give them in her hands. But the maximum that she does is picks up, twirls and returns back. For children at this age, some household items are more interesting: remote control, keys, socket. All this attracts her attention in the first place.
website: What age do you think is best for having children?
S. R .: This is the age when you feel you need to have children (laughs).
S. R .: There is such a joke: “I didn’t give birth at 18, then it’s too early.” In fact, when this recklessness passes and a person grows up, he is clearly aware of his capabilities. I think it’s too early for a man to become a father, if you still don’t know what awaits you next, when you have neither a house nor a livelihood. You need to approach everything consciously. 25-35 years old is the best age to become a parent.
website: American scientists recently deduced the optimal age for becoming a mother - 35 years old. What advantages do you see in mature motherhood?
E. K.: You do not perceive the appeared child as a burden. When you are young, you need to constantly run somewhere: to friends, to study, to work, on a trip. And here it is conscious parenting, you devote all your time, energy and love to the baby. There is no bitterness towards him in the sense that he destroys all plans and it would be better to push him, for example, to his grandmother.
S. R .: Lena and I just talked about this recently. In life, everything is cyclical. As a child, we play plain toys, in youth we are already looking for something else, and when we play enough, we look for “toys” much more exotic. But the time comes to become a parent, and you relive childhood with your child again. Once again, you are able to enjoy simple things. In life, as if new bright colors appear, and you, as a parent, are never bored. Here, for example, we went to Sochi, and there one of the main entertainments - bungee jumping. With the baby, you can not rush to such extremes and just walk around the park and enjoy it. You give your child what you yourself have experienced.
E. K.: In general, I now understand mothers who have five children! Kids are great. True, I suspect I will die my ardor as soon as Nick begins to show character.
S. R .: Of course, we don’t have a super task - to have as many children as possible. As God gives, it will. You must first deal with this miracle. As soon as we understand that we are quite comfortable, we manage and are ready for the second child, then we will move on to the next stage.
Supermodel Elena Kuletskaya was born on August 7, 1982 in Kharkov. Her father Alexander was a soldier, so the Kuletsky family often had to change their place of residence. In 1998, the family of the future model moved to Moscow. But Kuletskaya herself from an early age dreamed of visiting Paris, which she would later move to in 2001.
early years
Considering that Kuletskaya’s childhood was spent on constant trips, she very often had to change her place of study. Only after moving to Moscow did the girl finally manage to somehow stabilize her life. In 1999, she entered the law faculty of the Moscow Institute of Economics and Law. After entering the university, Elena Kuletskaya very often had to combine training with part-time work. In the late 90s, she worked as a fashion model at trade shows, at one of which she was noticed by a scout from a foreign modeling agency. He invited the girl to a casting in Paris. As a result, in 2001, the future supermodel went to the capital of France. At the same time, she graduated from the Moscow Institute in absentia.

Model business
Having moved to the capital of France, Elena Alexandrovna begins the active development of her modeling career. However, her father categorically opposed this. He was skeptical of the fashion industry and the prospects of his daughter in this direction. But Kuletskaya managed to convince her father. Moreover, soon Alexander Kuletsky himself became part of the modeling business, opening the Mademoiselle agency.
Initially, the girl was going to spend in Paris only three months of summer vacation. But the circumstances were such that the Russian model permanently settled in France. Over the next few years, Elena collaborated with IMG Models, Louisa Models, and other major modeling agencies. In addition, the model willingly starred in commercials of such popular world brands as Rolex, RAFF, Mary Kay and Etam. The popularity of the model also reached Russia, where she participated in the filming of the Orbit commercial.
TV career
Elena Kuletskaya became even more popular thanks to the filming of the television show "Cinderella 2.0". In this show, the model helped the participants to make significant changes in their lives. Thanks to the efforts of the host, ordinary girls turned from Cinderella into princesses, whose appearance will allow to conquer the stage and catwalk.
The following year, the model became a member of the popular show "Dancing with the Stars." Elena's partner in the project was actor Yevgeny Pazenko. And the girl was able to increase the already large army of her fans by participating in this show.
In 2014, Elena got a job on the Domashny channel. She became the host of the Perfect Match project. This show was attended by couples who could not boast of a stylish wardrobe. As in Cinderella 2.0, the famous supermodel and her team had to solve this problem.
Personal life of Elena Kuletskaya
The girl’s popularity in Russia is primarily due to her relationship with domestic pop star Dima Bilan. The couple met in 2006. Their first meeting took place at the Paris airport. Then no one could have imagined that their meeting would be the beginning of a serious relationship that would last about five years. Moreover, in 2008, Dima promised to marry Elena Kuletskaya, if he wins the Eurovision Song Contest. As a result, the victory went to Dima, but their relationship was never legalized.
The relationship of this couple has always been accompanied by various rumors and speculation. Once the yellow press hastened to accuse Kuletskaya of treason with the famous Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke. In the media there were joint photos of the model and the stars of Hollywood. But in fact, these pictures were taken for one of the foreign glossy publications.
The five-year romance of Bilan and Kuletskaya ended in the summer of 2011. The couple unanimously stated that the relationship was too stormy and they simply “burned out”. But the press believes that their romance was just a PR move. Subsequently, this version was confirmed by Bilan himself. And Russian producer and businessman Viktor Baturin did say that he personally paid an escort agency 30 thousand euros for the candidacy of this supermodel as a girl Dima Bilan.
After breaking up with a star, Elena met an unknown Frenchman whose identity remained a mystery. Finally, in 2014, on her page on the Internet, she announced her marriage to video project operator Stanislav Romanovsky. The recording of the model was accompanied by a photograph of a happy couple in a romantic setting. The wedding of Kuletskaya and Romanovsky took place in the girl’s favorite city - Paris. And already in 2016, information appeared in the press that the model carefully hides the rounded tummy. The timing of the birth of the first-born is unknown, but presumably this event should occur in the spring of 2016.
