With businessman, State Duma deputy and, as they say, the right hand of Roman Abramovich Sergei Kapkov Ksenia Sobchak (on the picture) was first published earlier this year.

They appeared together at one of the private events, and in the summer, when Kapkov and Sobchak together we came to Jurmala for the New Wave festival, their romance was already discussed by the entire Moscow elite, who had gathered at the Riga seaside.

However, as people from Sobchak's entourage say, then there was still no romance between them. Ksenia only accepted the courtship of 35-year-old Kapkov.

- They are just friends, Ksyusha and Seryozha are having fun, he has an excellent sense of humor, - Sobchak's friends said this summer. - She has now decided to take a break in relationships with men. Businessman Oleg Malis, to whom she left the head of the radio "Silver Rain" Dima Savitsky, was very attentive to her, gave expensive gifts. Once, as a surprise, he sent her home a fancy home theater, but Ksyusha was not very enthusiastic about this gift, she does not really like all sorts of technical things. And the relationship with the prosperous Malis quickly bored her. Even though he left his wife, ex-model Elena Lyandres, for her sake. Two common kids did not stop him either. Ksenia said that Oleg was a good person, she respected him, but she was more interested in Dima Savitsky. Here he is a real man, with him she felt loved - a small, defenseless girl.

She once confessed to us: “This man just conquered me. I took it and conquered it! "

But their relationship was, unfortunately, doomed, because Ksyusha did not want a family, did not want to sacrifice her career for the sake of a banal life, did not want to make concessions. And most importantly, she was very jealous of Dima. As he assured - unfounded. Therefore, they parted.

Then all the newspapers and magazines wrote that Sobchak had an affair with the dancer Yevgeny Papunaishvili, but Ksenia's close friends explain their relationship as follows:

- On his part, of course, there were feelings, but for Ksyusha he was more a friend than a beloved man. Zhenya himself understood that he did not reach the level of Ksyusha, who revolves in the circle of the elite.

New boyfriend approved by mom

As it became known to "KP", Kapkov still managed to find the key to the TV presenter's heart.

They no longer hide their relationship, appear together at social events.

They say that Xenia's new boyfriend her mother really likes Senator Lyudmila Narusova... Say, a serious, personable and wealthy man.

The only drawback of the gentleman Sobchak is that Sergei Alexandrovich has been married for a long time and has two children.

But, as it turned out, Kapkov recently divorced.

- We parted with my wife by amicable agreement. I don’t want to talk about the relationship with Sobchak, everything is clear, ”Kapkov explained to reporters.

True, Kapkov never spoke about his wife, and he did not officially appear in the world with her.

"KP" decided to find out why Sergei Kapkov still left the family.

Girlfriend threw problems

With his now ex-wife Ekaterina Grinchevskaya (on the picture) Kapkov met in his native Nizhny Novgorod. She is 6 years younger than Sergei. During their acquaintance, in 2000, she worked as a model, participated in beauty contests and won them, and then got a job as a fitness trainer in one of the sports clubs in Nizhny Novgorod.

“In 1998, she became the winner of the Winter Beauty 1998 contest,” says the director of the Miss Nizhny Novgorod Bureau, Ekaterina Chudakova. - She was one of the most beautiful girls in the history of our competition. And charming and smart. She directed several shows for Miss Nizhny Novgorod.

She is also a very caring daughter. Katya had already moved to Moscow when her father became seriously ill. So she constantly skated to Nizhny, helped the family. And Sergei, when he was introduced to Katya, was simply fascinated by her, it immediately caught the eye. They have two wonderful children - daughter Sophia 5 years old and son Ivan 7 years old. And when Sergei left the family, I assure you, everyone was on Katya's side.

Kapkov himself in Nizhny is remembered as a very purposeful person. Ten years ago he left for Chukotka and thanks to this he made his political career.

They say that before leaving for Moscow, Sergei, who, according to his friends, was very worried about being overweight, decided to lose weight. Moreover, his boss businessman Roman Abramovich did not believe in the success of this event. As a result, Kapkov lost weight on a bet with Abramovich. And, as Kapkov's colleagues say, Sergei lost almost 50 kilograms in a very short time! His friends simply did not recognize him.

When her husband moved to Moscow, his beautiful wife Yekaterina Grinchevskaya went to work for the Vesti-24 channel as a TV presenter, where she still works.

She is one of the ten most attractive information TV presenters: a tall, beautiful 29-year-old blonde. With Ksenia Sobchak, they are not only of the same age and similar in hair color, but, as it turned out, they were once friends ...

At the last Moscow Film Festival, Ksenia, while still a companion of Dmitry Savitsky, appeared on the red carpet with her close friends: boutique owner Polina Kitsenko, fashion designer Alena Akhmadulina, designer Ulyana Sergienko and TV presenter and wife of Sergei Kapkov Ekaterina Grinchevskaya ...

Sobchak and Grinchevskaya, like two graces, posed for photographers, and who would have thought then that in a year Ksyusha would take her friend's husband away from the family ...

Now Ekaterina Grinchevskaya is very worried about a divorce from her husband and refuses to comment to the press.

- Ekaterina is not ready yet to communicate with journalists, she left the country for a while, when she returns, we do not know, - Grinchevskaya's assistant told KP.

Birthday

On November 5, Ksenia Sobchak had a birthday, but the TV presenter decided to combine two holidays at once - the opening of her new restaurant "Tverbul" and a personal celebration, so she postponed the banquet to November 22.

Ksenia very carefully prepared for the birthday celebration, the day before there was a tasting of the dishes that were planned to treat the guests. This includes buckwheat with foie gras and morel sauce, crab phalanges prepared according to a special recipe. Friends brought Xenia a white truffle from Alba, and most of the dishes were served with it. Well, what is Sobchak's birthday without oysters and champagne? The guests were from the narrowest circle, so they gave useful gifts. (“Zhenya and I gave Ksyusha a ski sweater from Prada, the same gloves and a scarf,” Yana Rudkovskaya told KP.) And we had a lot of fun. For example, the evening began with Ksenia's favorite game "Thank God you came." Well, this is when the guests dress up in funny costumes and have to perform funny miniatures on the given themes on stage.

The musical accompaniment of the evening was provided by Okean Elzy, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Teona Kontridze.

But the main guest for Ksenia was Sergey Kapkov. He arrived at the restaurant with a friend of Ksenia and a close friend of his ex-wife, designer Ulyana Sergienko. But Kapkov spent the whole evening next to Ksyusha. And they left the celebration together in the car of Sergey Kapkov.

- Sergei, what did you give Ksyusha for his birthday? - we asked Kapkov.

“Let Ksyusha tell you herself,” Kapkov told us reluctantly.

[Dni.Ru, 18.11.2010, "The deputy gave Sobchak a ring": The birthday girl received a ring with a 30-carat emerald as a gift from her new boyfriend. - Box K.ru]

- Is it true that Ksyusha was a close friend of your ex-wife?

- I would not like to comment on this, - Kapkov evaded answering.

Former lover Ksenia spoke frankly about their separation

Former lover Xenia spoke frankly about their separation

Former State Duma deputy, new director of the Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure Sergei KAPKOV shared with journalists the details of his break with Ksenia SOBCHAK. Until recently, there were rumors that the TV presenter left "ABRAMOVICH's right hand" for an affair with the artistic director of the Praktika Theater and the creator of the Golden Mask festival, 46-year-old Eduard BOYAKOV. However, Kapkov dotted all the i's: he threw it to Ksenia.

Despite Ksyusha's assurances that she remains in warm relations with all her former lovers and continues to be friends, the opposite happened with Kapkov: after parting with Sobchak, Sergey no longer communicates with her.

We parted with Ksenia on March 6, and I was the initiator of our breakup, '' Sergei Kapkov said in a telephone conversation with a reporter. "Yday" ... - We do not support relations, since then I have not even seen her.

According to Sergei, he has not yet had a new lover - they say, too much work. However, apparently, Kapkov is not going to return to his ex-wife either. We will remind, for the sake of Sobchak Sergei left his wife - the host of the channel "Vesti24" Ekaterina Grinchevskaya who bore him two children. For the first time Sobchak and Kapkova saw together in March last year at an exhibition of an American artist Mark Rothko"Into the unknown world." After that, they went together to Jurmala to the New Wave festival, hosted by Ksenia. It was then that talk began that she had found happiness in her personal life. Sobchak Kapkov also knows nothing about the new novel. Meanwhile, they say that Ksenia is meeting with the artistic director of the Praktika Theater Eduard Boyakov... The couple met by chance: Boyakov turned out to be the father of Sobchak's new assistant - Sonya. Now Sobchak and Boyakov appear everywhere together. They were seen in the theater and in restaurants. Meanwhile, when Boyakov was directly asked about the relationship with Sobchak, he did not immediately find what to say.

I cannot comment on these rumors in any way, - after a short pause Boyakov answered the journalists. - Ksyusha and I are just friends, and that's all. We met many years ago and since then we communicate and make friends a lot.

After parting with Kapkov, Ksenia went to heal heart wounds in Cannes, where the Cannes Film Festival was taking place. Sobchak stayed on a yacht Roman Abramovich where she was invited by a friend of the oligarch Daria Zhukova... And soon Ksyusha is going to the sea again - as a host she will go to the New Wave festival in Jurmala. True, without a beloved man: the TV presenter goes to the Baltic coast with her mother.

Let's have a good rest with our daughter on the Baltic coast, - shared with "Ytrom" Lyudmila Narusova.

The chairman of the commission of the Federation Council, if he knows, then refuses to talk about the heart affairs of his daughter:

If she shared her personal experiences with me, then I definitely won't tell you about them, because it's very intimate, '' she says.

Ksenia Sobchak, who for a long time called herself a free girl, finally admitted that not only business relations connect her with Roman Abramovich's assistant, Sergei Kapkov. The 28-year-old TV presenter confirmed an affair with a married State Duma deputy the day after the Rock Against Toads festival, organized by Glucose's husband Alexander Chistyakov.
- To be honest, I did not even pay attention to the festival, who was with whom. But, when the next day I sent an sms to Ksyusha, so that I was very happy for her, that she was so happy and was with her man, she answered me that this is really so - she is really happy with him, - Ksenia's friend told Life Showbiz singer Glucose.
It looks like Sobchak is really tired of hiding. If in the last three months Ksyusha appeared with the 34-year-old businessman only at official events, now she openly introduces him as her boyfriend in the company of close friends. So, for example, the next day after "Toads" Ksenia and Sergei came to Tina Kandelaki's restaurant "Tinatin", where the cream of the capital's beau monde played "Mafia". There, the TV personality, shining with joy, was congratulated on the new novel as if not today or tomorrow Ksenia Anatolyevna had gathered down the aisle. Weddings, however, have not yet been scheduled. Former lover of Ksenia Anatolyevna, dance partner Yevgeny Papuanashvili categorically refuses to talk about Ksenia's new romantic hobby.
- Yes, I saw a video on the Internet, where Ksyusha and Sergey at a rock festival, but I don't want to say anything about this. She did not offend me in any way, it’s just unpleasant for me, ”Evgeny Papuanashvili shared with Life Showbiz.

AND HERE IS A COMPLETELY FRESH NEWS: SERGEY KAPKOV DIVORED !!!

State Duma Deputy Sergei Kapkov, who, having started an affair with Sobchak, became the main socialite of the last month, divorced his wife. 34-year-old assistant and friend of Roman Abramovich confessed to Life Showbiz that he concluded a settlement agreement with his ex-wife, who gave him two children - now he is a gentleman of Ksenia Anatolyevna without any "buts". The 28-year-old TV presenter, who is no stranger to repelling reproaches from overly curious colleagues, is as clean as a white sheet today. Conversations that a socialite is dating a married man were suppressed by Kapkov himself.

I officially divorced my wife, - said the MP to Life Showbiz. - We got divorced by amicable agreement. I do not want to talk about the relationship with Sobchak, but there is nothing to hide here.

For the first time, Sergei Kapkov and Ksenia Sobchak appeared together in public in March 2010 - at the exhibition of the American expressionist artist Mark Rothko "Into the Unknown World." Then the charming politician seemed to the TV presenter, too, the whole world and also unknown. She plunged into an affair with him headlong, starting to refuse many job offers. A few months later, Ksyusha appeared with Sergei at the annual New Wave festival in Jurmala. Surrounded by Sobchak, they noticed for a long time: those with whom she flies to the Baltic states in the summer, she invariably represents a friend of the family, and later the friendship imperceptibly develops into an affair. In 2009, in Jurmala, Ksenia was “friends” with Euroset co-owner Oleg Malis - a few months later he left his wife. Another boyfriend of Sobchak, Dmitry Savitsky, did the same in his time, with him she lived in a civil marriage for three years.

P.S. TVZ will start showing the TV series from November 8 from Monday to Thursday. I read about it on the Internet - in my opinion it's worth a look. Not only does Chulpan Khamatova play there, which speaks for itself, the plot is very interesting there.

"The revolution has passed through our lives": Ksenia Sobchak on meeting Maxim Vitorgan and advice from Sergei Kapkov

The other day, Russian presidential candidate, TV presenter, loving wife and caring mother Ksenia Sobchak gave an interview to Meduza. In addition to politics, Ksenia spoke about the first meeting with her husband Maxim Vitorgan and recalled her relationship with the former Minister of Culture of Moscow Sergei Kapkov.

The revolution has passed through our lives in the truest sense of the word. I also met my husband there. We flew together to a rally in Astrakhan, and this is how our acquaintance took place. Everything is intertwined, as Oksimiron sings in his song. It happens with women. I am a woman with a difficult fate, - said Ksenia in an interview with Meduza.

I came to the first meeting in Bolotnaya with Sergei Kapkov, whom we met then. And then, when it smelled of fried, Sergei just said that he was not ready to go to rallies anymore and did not advise me either. But even at that moment it was impossible to stop me, because - well, how is that so? How can you get cold feet? And I went to the Sakharov rally, where I spoke, alone, - said Ksenia.

Recall that on October 18, Ksenia Sobchak announced that she intends to run for the presidency of Russia, which will be held in March 2018.
