Well, what did I want to do this post, all the text that is in italics is clarifications or my opinion)
About life in Moscow:
Raisa Navka: In Moscow, we did not have a single close person, no relatives, no acquaintances. from then I found an apartment, it was, of course, horror. She did her homework in the toilet, because there was no room. She slept in the passage room, on the couch. This hostess comes and lies on the sofa and watches TV until the program ends, she leaves, and Tanya sits asleep on a chair, then the program ends, she wakes her up, then she just left, and the 14th child just went to bed. At 11 o'clock in the morning, Tanya calls me and says that I am at the station, she kicked her out, a child, at the age of 14. I say, Tan, you don't go anywhere. Tell me the phones of your girlfriends, I called back a girl at home, my grandmother came and took Tanechka from the Kursk railway station. The next day I arrived, of course.
On weight loss in adolescence:
Tatiana Navka: Natalya Ilyinichna made me run at ten in the evening with weights in my backpack behind my back from Baumanskaya, where I lived then, to her in Sokolniki. When, barely alive and wet with sweat, I went up to her apartment, Dubova removed the scales from me and weighed. If the weight was not higher than in the morning, she patted the shoulder approvingly: well done, Navka, she didn't gain extra pounds today.
... But one morning, before training, she measured fifty-three kilograms in me. And she ordered that by evening there were only fifty-two and a half left. I worked out my workout, ate just three peaches, and drank a cup of sugar-free coffee. After another workout, the check weighing in the locker room unexpectedly showed fifty-three and a half kilograms. I was shocked: this cannot be!
“So,” Dubova said, staring gloomily at the scales. - So this is how we follow the coach's instructions ... And then suddenly she turned around and slapped me in the face, so that I hit the wall with the back of my head. She must have been scared herself. The next day I didn't show up for training. Then the second coach called and I came to the ice. Natalya Ilyinichna came, did not pay attention to me during the whole training session, and at the end she called me over and said: "Well done, you have lost weight," and added: "Forgive me, please, that this happened." I forgave.
Tatiana Navka: She closed me in the locker room that I did not eat to lose weight.
Raisa Navka: Imagine a child, at the age of 13, one sleeps in the locker room, in this large palace, in Sokolniki, when she wakes up at night, we have some kind of mice walking around ...
Tatiana Navka:"I also had a very funny story about weighing. My partner was always very worried before weighing, he should wear it. So, after the next weighing, I go and buy a large piece of cake, go with him on the subway, bite off from it with a breath, and suddenly someone on my shoulder so ... I turn and see my partner. He grabs the remaining piece of cake and throws it in my face with the words: “Got enough?” But I’m not a miss, with character! and back to your partner. "
About falling in love with Alexander Zhulin:
Raisa Navka: it so happened that at three o'clock in the morning, my neighbor called me, we did not have a telephone then, and say that Tanechka is calling, naturally my husband and I got up. I hear her cry and she says: "Mom, I can’t anymore, I don’t know what to do m, I fell in love." who do you even love, tell me. She says: "Sasha Zhulina".
Tatiana Navka: I decided to sacrifice my career and, in general, everything I went to for the sake of love.
I can say that Tatiana and her partner in 1995 took 5th place at the World Cup, which was considered a very good result, especially for Belarus, for which Navka and her partner played. But in order to continue training Navka and Gezalyan had to live in a city that was very far from the place of residence of A. Zhulin.
About infidelity:
Tatiana Navka: cheating on her husband is not a reason for divorce! There are, probably, things that cannot be forgiven. Still, a woman should be wiser. It all depends on the situation, but I do not think that you need to file for divorce because of your husband's infidelity!
Tatyana knows what Alexander is talking about leaving her three times, even making an offer to another woman.
Oksana Grischuk: At the end of 1998 we, the skaters, went on a tour of America. On New Year's Eve we ended up in San Francisco. Then with Sasha Zhulin we had a romantic period, and I hoped that the holidays would also be unusual. And so it happened. On the morning of the New Year, I woke up, suddenly I heard a sound from the street. I looked out the window and found this picture: Zhulin with a bouquet of flowers under his arm is climbing the fire escape. I gasped! Just like in the movie "Pretty Woman", he walked to the window of our room, got down on one knee and handed me a bouquet with a small box. There was a wedding ring in the box. This New Year was unforgettable. But despite such a romantic engagement, we never got married.
Alexander Zhulin:
And then the thought came to mind: why not pair up with Oksana Grischuk? I shared this idea with Tanya. She, as an intelligent woman with phenomenal intuition, was against it. Correctly say: do not wake up smartly while it is quiet. But, alas, I did not listen to her opinion. Yes, and it was difficult for me at that time to give up promising work. Despite Tanya's protests, I called Oksana: “What if we are in a pair?” She agreed, and we began to prepare for the World Championship among professionals. At first, the relationship with Grischuk was purely partnership, but soon I remembered the old one. I confess I gave up the slack. This woman and I often crossed paths at work. The craving for her was a thorn in my heart. And he came home, and everything was fine. Tanya is near, I am calm. But as soon as I left, that's all - I did not understand what was happening to me. And so for six months ... I scolded myself, said: “Idiot, what are you doing? After all, Tanya is the best! ”, But could not cope with the obsession.
On the video Oksana Grischuk and Alexander Zhulin:
P.S. I wanted to make a more complete post, but it was only enough for this)
Tatiana Navka was born on April 13, 1975 in Dnepropetrovsk, she has a younger sister Natalia. Parents, economist Raisa Anatolyevna and engineer Alexander Petrovich, went in for sports in their youth, so they rejoiced at their daughter's hobby for figure skating, which appeared after she saw Elena Vodorezova's performance on TV. First, Tatiana bought roller skates, and she learned to skate on them, and in 1980, at the age of five, the future champion first went out on the ice. Her first coaches were Tamara Yarchevskaya and Alexander Rozhin. Navka was the champion of Ukraine among juniors. In 1987, Tatyana grew by 14 cm over the summer, which led to the fact that her jumping technique went wrong. After that, the coaches advised Tatyana's mother to transfer her daughter to ice dancing. In 1988, the 14-year-old figure skater moved to Moscow to the group of Natalia Dubova (Moskvich sports club), who chose her among many young athletes and paired her with Samvel Gezalyan. They trained first at the Ice Palace in Sokolniki, then the couple was selected by Dubova, who signed a contract in the United States, for training in North America. So Navka ended up in New Jersey, in total she lived in the United States for more than 15 years.
Already in 1991, this couple entered the USSR national team, became the winner of the major international tournaments Skate America and Nations Cup. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Tatiana and Samvel played for Belarus, represented this country at the Olympic Games in Lillehamer, where they were eleventh. Ranked fifth at the World Championships (1994) and fourth at the European Championships (1995).
From 1996 to 1998, Navka's partner was Nikolai Morozov. This couple also represented Belarus, became the winner of the Karl Schaefer Memorial, participated in the Olympic Games in Nagano. In 1996, in the USA, Tatyana came to the attention of a new coach - the idol of her youth, ex-world champion Alexander Zhulin, whom she met back in 1993 at the gold for him World Championship in Prague. Soon between them, despite the difference in 12 years, a romantic relationship hidden from the eyes of others broke out.
Since 1998, Navka has played for Russia in tandem with Roman Kostomarov; Zhulin chose a promising partner, 2 years younger than Tatyana. The skaters had an ideal combination of height data: Navka - 170 cm, Kostomarov - 182 cm.First, they trained in the group of Natalia Linichuk, who, however, soon recommended Kostomarov to change her partner, preferring Anna Semenovich. At that moment, Kostomarov did not dare to disobey the highly experienced mentor. In the 1999-2000 season, Tatyana, who was left without a pair, was pregnant with her first daughter, but in the summer, going out on the ice, she accepted Roman's apology and began skating with him again. Since 2000, they trained under the leadership of Zhulin, after the end of her career, Navka noted his outstanding coaching and pedagogical gift. Since 2000, the dark-haired Tatiana finally adopted the image of a blonde on the ice, making, however, in 2008 an exception for the show room on the "Schindler's List". At various times, future Olympic champions were also consulted by Elena Tchaikovskaya and Tatiana Tarasova.
The first major success came to skaters in 2003, when Navka / Kostomarov became the Champions of Russia for the first time. In the same year, they took a prize for the first time at the European Championships in Sweden, winning bronze medals. A year later, the rapidly progressing couple did not leave the highest step of the podium.
Victory at the Olympic Games in Turin (2006)
Navka and Kostomarov came up to the 2006 Olympics in Turin as undisputed favorites: since 2004 they have not lost a single start at the Championships of Russia, Europe and the world, they took "gold" everywhere. The skaters focused on the free program with the "Carmen" dance, choreographed by Tatyana Druchinina, 1987 world champion in rhythmic gymnastics. As Navka admitted, when preparing the Spanish dance, her “ inspired the image of the genius ballerina Maya Plisetskaya". On the eve of the Olympics, the program was well received by the French public at the European Championships in Lyon. The Olympic start was not easy: by the time the dancers entered the fight, the Russian team already had two gold medals in pair skating and among men. After the obligatory dance, the hosts of the Olympics, 2001 world champions Barbara Fusar-Poli and Maurizio Margallo were in the lead. In the original dance, the Italian made a gross mistake, falling while performing a simple element, and the Russians took the lead, with a margin of less than one and a half points from the Americans Tanit Belbin / Benjamin Agosto. In the decisive, free dance, American skaters made two mistakes, while Navka and Kostomarov, according to Elena Vaytsekhovskaya, showed “ outstanding rental". The judge's score was more moderate - 101.37 points, which is lower than the pair's record (113.17), but it was quite enough for Olympic gold. " Tears of happiness ran down Carmen's face", Wrote enthusiastic newspapers. The champions showed a very emotional number to the romance of Mark Minkov and Veronica Tushnova “Do not renounce, loving” with a spectacular and memorable finale in the final gala concert, and subsequently repeatedly demonstrated it in various performances.

Roman Kostomarov, who tried with different skaters, noted that Tatiana from the very beginning was the only partner with whom he could achieve such impressive success. According to Anna Semenovich's observations, Navka has “ something very passionate, sexy and fatal". Tatyana Tarasova highlighted the hard work and dedication of the athlete, noted that Navka is one of the few figure skaters who for many years "Did not lose the pleasure of everyday communication with our profession"...

Tatiana Navka - photo
The name of this talented figure skater is known all over the world, which is not surprising. After all, the athlete from childhood has shown perseverance and incredible hard work to achieve the goal. She herself speaks of Navka's high professionalism, noting that she managed not to lose her love for her profession. Like all persons in show business, Tatiana Navka's personal life is always under the gun of the public.
The titled athlete Tatiana Navka is Ukrainian by nationality. She was born in April 1975 in Dnepropetrovsk. The girl's parents, Raisa Anatolyevna and Alexander Petrovich, despite their "unsportsmanlike" professions, in their youth were related to sports, so they encouraged their daughter's hobby in every possible way. First, little Tanya learned to roller skate, and after that she switched to skates.
Tatiana fell in love with sports since childhood, watching her idol, constantly went to his trainings and asked for autographs. Thanks to her parents, who in difficult times were able to purchase professional skates for Tatiana, at the age of five she replaced the rollers that were already familiar to her. From that moment on, the life of Tatiana Navka acquired a certain meaning.
Skates and ice began to occupy a significant part of the girl's time. At the age of 12, she became the champion of Ukraine among juniors. At the age of 13, mother Raisa Anatolyevna, at the insistence of the coaches, transferred her daughter to the ice dancing section. A year later, the young athlete moved to Russia to train. There the sports biography of Tatyana Navka started.
Sports career
Tatyana entered the big ice in 1991 as part of the USSR national team.
Together with their partner Samvel Gezalyan, they defend the honor of the Soviet Union team. The couple's coach, Natalya Dubova, transported the skaters for training in the United States. It is noteworthy that in the future Navka will receive the citizenship of this country. As a result of the collapse of the Union, Navka and Gezalyan represent the national team of Belarus, taking 11th place at the 17th Winter Olympic Games. In the same 1994 they became fifth at the World Championships, and a year later at the European Championships they took the fourth step.
In 1996, this couple broke up, and on the ice Tatyana Navka began performing with Nikolai Morozov. This duo existed for two years. Representing Belarus, they became winners of the Karl Schaefer Memorial (an annual open tournament that was held in Vienna from 1974 to 2008), and also took part in the Olympic Games in the Japanese city of Nagano.
Since 1998, the skater has been a member of the Russian national team: at this time, she has a new partner - whom Zhulin himself picked up for Tatyana. At first he tried to skate with her as a pair himself, but the slight difference in height - only 5 centimeters - made the duet unattractive. And this couple had arguments too often. Therefore, Zhulin offered a place in the duet to Kostomarov. He agreed and, leaving, with whom he then skated, began training with Navka.
Soon, the creative duet Navka-Kostomarov, led by coach Alexander Zhulin, achieved brilliant results. By 2003, the couple broke into first place in the Russian Championship, and in the European Championship reached a prize-winning place. It was an undeniable success.
"Queen of Ice" - this title was deservedly received by Tatiana Navka. She has something to be proud of: she has a large number of gold, bronze and silver medals in her piggy bank. During her biography, the figure skater became the champion of Russia three times, twice the champion of Europe and the world, and the Olympics in Turin brought world recognition to Kostomarov and Navka.
Roman Kostomarov and Tatiana Navka came up to the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin as undisputed favorites: since 2004 they have not lost, they took "gold" everywhere. The skaters focused on the free program with the "Carmen" dance, choreographed by Tatiana Druchinina.
At the Olympics, Navka and Kostomarov showed the so-called "outstanding rental". The judge's score was 101.37 points, which is below the pair's record (113.17), but it was quite enough for the Olympic gold. Enthusiastic newspapers wrote: “ Tears of happiness ran down Carmen's face". According to the ballet dancer, Tatiana Navka has created a passionate and convincing image of Carmen on ice. Alexander Zhulin highlighted the risk-taking, artistry and “phenomenal intuition” of the skater.
After winning the Olympics, Navka and Kostomarov decided to end their sports careers. However, the couple survived and continue to perform in professional shows and with demonstration numbers.
In 2010, a documentary was released on the screens dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Tatyana Navka and her sports biography.
TV show
In addition to figure skating, the athlete is fond of dancing. The end of the skater's sports career coincided with an ice show organized on Channel One, which was then held annually. Tatiana Navka has become a kind of symbol of these projects, having missed the season only once. 2006 was remembered by the audience of the "Stars on Ice" show, in which, together with an unsurpassed athlete, took 1st place.
Since 2007, a new show "Ice Age" has started, which is subsequently held annually. That season, Tatyana worked with an actor, the couple managed to take 2nd place. The figure skater took the same step in the next season with the films Tatiana's Day, Desantura and Delta, known from the films. In September 2008, she took part in the Eurovision Dance Contest: dancer Alexander Litvinenko became her partner. The couple took second place.
Tatiana Navka is a bright and talented woman. She is regularly invited to various television projects. It is noteworthy that not only in those where you need to demonstrate sportsmanship. In 2008, she appeared in the rating vocal show "Two Stars". In a duet with she sang the well-known composition "And it is snowing", which was once performed by and.
Viewers could see Tatyana Navka on TV screens again in 2010. The popular TV show "Ice and Fire" again helped Tatyana Navka rise to the first place. Her partner helped her in this. Throughout the season, this couple delighted the audience with bright numbers, beautiful dances and acting skills.
In the next season of the "Ice Age" 2016, fans of the famous skater saw their favorite again. This time Tatiana Navka went on the ice with the actor. Particular attention was drawn to this bright couple.
One issue of the project was dedicated to world cinema. The number about the Holocaust, which was shown by Navka and Burkovsky, caused heated debate and controversy. The fact is that Ilya Averbukh, the mentor of the couple, settled on a too risky decision: the skaters took to the ice in costumes stylized as striped uniforms of prisoners of a concentration camp during the Great Patriotic War. Stripes in the form of six-pointed stars suggested that there were Jewish prisoners in front of the audience.
The dance to the song "Beautiful That Way" from the legendary Italian film "Life is Beautiful" by Roberto Benigni was recognized as impeccable. The jury gave the pair the highest marks for skill and artistry. But the social media discussion that followed was like an explosion. Many decided that the Holocaust-themed issue was a mockery of the memory of tortured Jewish prisoners.
But not everyone came to this opinion. For example, the director replied to critics that if books and films are made on the topic of the Holocaust, then “why this topic cannot but be comprehended in this form”.
Personal life
The personal life of Tatyana Navka and her professional growth have been associated with the name for a long time. The girl was in love with this famous skater for a long time. She liked him even when he came with his wife Maya Usova to Dnepropetrovsk. Young Tanya and her friend came to the rink every day and asked the handsome man for an autograph. She soon collected a couple of dozen of them.
It seems that fate itself brought them together. In Moscow, where the Ukrainian athlete came to study, she managed to get close to Zhulin. At this time, his marriage with Usova was bursting at the seams.
Soon, 18-year-old Navka went to the training camp in France. She secretly dreamed of meeting Alexander there. And they did meet. As it turned out, the skater liked the girl for a long time. The couple began to live together.
But they decided to register their relationship only after five years. It happened in one of America's notary offices in the winter of 2000. And in May they had a daughter, Sasha. 2 weeks after her birth, the athlete returned to the rink.
The figure skater continued to actively participate in various sports shows. Project “Ice Age. The best ”brought her closer to the actor. In the fall of 2009, the couple went out on the ice.
The bright duet from the first broadcasts becomes the favorite of the program and wins the competition. But not only the number on the ice attracted the attention of the fans of the show. In social networks and the media, they started talking about the romance that broke out between the two stars.
The spice of these rumors was added by the fact that both heroes were not free. Lovelas Basharov was married to Elizaveta Krutsko. And the skater was married to Alexander Zhulin. However, even then there were rumors that not everything was going well in both families.
In 2010, it became known that the pair of skaters had finally parted ways. Rumors about the upcoming marriage of Basharov and Navka again excited show business. But whether there was an affair between Tatyana and Marat is unknown. They denied its existence. Perhaps the two stars were not cunning, because the wedding, which everyone considered only a matter of time, never happened.
According to other sources, the couple really lived together for some time. But Marat turned out to be too amorous, and Tatiana was tired of the rumors and gossip that her well-wishers brought her. In addition, they say that Basharov demanded that the future half switch from Orthodoxy to the Muslim faith, to which she did not agree. And the blonde beauty allegedly did not like Marat's mother, who always wanted him to marry a Tatar woman, quiet and submissive, who would take care of the family hearth, and not rotate in show business. Whatever it was, but this couple did not go down the aisle.
Later, information appears about the novel of the titled athlete with the singer. They participated in a pair on the TV show "Ice and Fire". The media discussed that the relationship with the project migrated to real life. Tatyana Navka is 13 years older than Alexei. Soon, Alexei Vorobyov found himself a new passion in the face. Neither the artist nor the skater commented on these assumptions.
In 2010, the skater began an affair with the press secretary of the Russian president. They met at a mutual friend's birthday party. As the athlete admitted, Peskov looked after her for a long time and patiently, until she herself realized that she was in love.
For a long time, the couple hid their relationship, which was due to the marital status of Peskov. Four years after the start of the relationship, Tatyana Navka gave birth to a daughter, Nadezhda. This event took place on August 21, 2014.
Note that the children of Tatiana Navka never kept her on maternity leave for a long time. As a strong and talented athlete who loves her life's work, she cannot exist without ice skating and training.
It took place on August 1, 2015 in Sochi. Tatyana Navka's husband and the skater herself are very different people, but maybe that is why the new marital union will turn out to be stronger than all the previous ones.
Olympic champion Tatiana Navka is a supporter of a healthy lifestyle. This love for physical education and proper nutrition is hereditary for her. The parents of the famous figure skater - economist Raisa Anatolyevna and engineer Alexander Petrovich - went in for sports in their youth. Mom was fond of artistic gymnastics and was even included in the Ukrainian national team. Therefore, she was very happy about her daughter's hobby for figure skating.
ON THIS TOPIC
To this day, Tatyana Navka's mother is in excellent shape - she swims in the pool, works out in the gym, loves walking and enjoys yoga. On her Instagram page, Tatyana posted a photo in which her mother was captured just during such practices. "Together with my mother we do yoga. This is what I have, I admire her! As they say, an apple from an apple tree does not fall far!" - the athlete signed the picture.
Apparently, Tatiana Navka's mother is in the "viparita karani mudri" position or in the "reverse flow position", "bent candle pose". This is a simple but very powerful practice for the body and mind. It is considered a true "time machine" that is reversing the aging process.
At the age of 14, she moved to Moscow, and at the age of 16 she already played for the USSR national team, and she is also the owner of the "Olympic gold" and Honored Master of Sports of Russia. In addition, Tatiana is one of the most stylish women in Russia. We will tell you how she managed to achieve such heights.
Biography of Tatiana Navka

And although the professions of both have nothing to do with sports, they have always been partial to sports. And instilled this love in my daughter.
Tatiana immediately decided that figure skating would be her life's work. And she just saw the brilliant performance of Elena Vodorezova on TV. And she decided that by all means she would dance on the ice as well, and even better.
Parents first bought the girl roller skates, and she learned to skate on them. And at the age of five, she first took to the ice. "Azam" was taught by Tamara Yarchevskaya and Alexander Rozhin.
Soon Navka became the champion of Ukraine among juniors.
But when the girl turned 12, her sports career was in jeopardy. Over the course of one summer, Tatyana grew by 14 centimeters, which is why her previously brilliant jumping technique went wrong.
Then the coaches advised the mother of the young figure skater to transfer her to ice dancing.
And at the age of 14, Tatyana moved to Moscow in the group of Natalya Dubova, who paired her with Samvel Gezalyan. Soon after that, Dubova left for America and took the guys with her for training. So Navka ended up in the States, where she spent more than 15 years.
But this did not prevent Tatyana and Samvel from entering the USSR national team in 1991.
And after the collapse of the USSR, beginner, but already eminent athletes played for Belarus. And they represented the country at the Olympic Games in Lillehamer, where they were eleventh.
From 1996 to 1998, Nikolai Morozov became Navka's partner, 12 years older than her ...
But at the same time Navka draws out his "lucky ticket". And comes into the field of vision of the new coach, the idol of his youth, Alexander Zhulin.
And it is he who puts the 18-year-old skater in a pair with Roman Kostomarov, who was two years younger than her.
Needless to say, the young people were perfect for each other. By temperament, dance style and most importantly, external data. With Tatyana's height high enough for a skater, 170 centimeters, Kostomarov was almost 15 centimeters taller than her.
The couple began to train in Natalia Linichuk's group. But soon the coach advises Roman to change Tatiana to Anna Semenovich. And Kostomarov did not dare to disobey.
And Tatyana was left without a pair for the season. Fortunately, for Navka, this period fell on the time of her pregnancy with her first daughter.
A year later, the athlete triumphantly returned to duty. She accepted an apology from Kostomarov and continued to skate with him. True, she admitted that the return was not easy - Tatyana gained a lot of excess weight during pregnancy.
From that moment on, Zhulin himself began to train the couple (by this moment he had already become the legal spouse of Navka - ed.). And success was not long in coming. In 2003, the skaters became the Champions of Russia for the first time. And two years later, they were the undisputed favorites. Tatiana and Roman have not lost a single competition, be it the Russian or European championship.
And in 2006 they won the coveted "gold" at the Turin Olympics. Navka embodied one of the most passionate and sensual images of Carmen.
After a resounding victory, Vladimir Putin invited Tatyana and Roman to the Kremlin.
At the same time, Navka made a confession, which was written about in the newspapers for a long time. The Olympic champion told the head of state that "she has nowhere to live." And soon Roman and Tatiana were provided with housing in Moscow for their sporting achievements.
And although, having reached the top, both Roman and Tatiana left the big sport, both continued demonstration performances, and also participated in ice shows on television more than once. In particular, the couple constantly appeared in Ilya Averbukh's show "Ice and Fire".
Since 2015, Tatiana, at the invitation of Tina Kandelaki, has become the host of the Match TV channel.
Personal life of Tatiana Navka
At the age of 25, Tatyana married her figure skating coach, Alexander Zhulin, who was 12 years older than her.
But it was the experience and fame of Alexander that attracted Tatiana. When the athlete was still in school, she watched his performances with bated breath. Therefore, it is not surprising that with a closer acquaintance, the couple began a relationship. In addition, Alexander's marriage with figure skater Maya Usova was already “bursting at the seams”.
With Navka, they were perfect for each other. Both were at their peak. And what can we say, both have more than once been recognized as "the sexiest athletes."
In marriage, the daughter of Alexander was born. After that, the couple lived together for another 10 years. And in 2010, they confirmed the rumors of their breakup.
In the next few years, the skater was credited with an affair with Marat Basharov and Alexei Vorobyov. But none of the couple officially confirmed the relationship.
In August 2015, Tatyana Navka married the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov. The ceremony took place on the Black Sea coast in Sochi.
“He is a fine fellow - he took it with elegance and perseverance. Somehow he did everything cunningly. It seems to be courting, but it seems not. He seemed to say that we would be together, and I called his year Dmitry Sergeevich and called him “you”. I could not cross this line in any way, only “you” ... She did not call or pick up the phone. And he managed to find me through friends. And he got his way. And rightly so, it was impossible to take me impudently, well, in no way, ”Navka said in an interview with Tatler magazine.
Tatyana and Dmitry had a daughter, whom they named Nadezhda.
