And everything would be fine, but working in the frame did not give him pleasure. Then Danko decided to quit filming in films and focus on the theater.

Personal life

Alexander Fadeev had an affair with Tatyana Vorobyova. They met for more than three years, but never legalized the relationship. The couple soon broke up.


The next serious relationship with the singer was with the model Natalia Ustimenko. In 2003, information appeared in the media that Danko would soon become a dad. In January 2004, daughter Sophia was born. Natalia's childbirth was difficult, but the girl was born healthy.

On April 19, 2014, their second daughter, Agatha, was born. The doctors diagnosed the girl with cerebral palsy. Danko spoke about his tragedy in the program "Let them talk." According to him, on the eve of Easter, Natalia started bleeding. The woman was urgently hospitalized.

The child was born with multiple brain injuries. Doctors made a terrible diagnosis: due to numerous injuries, the girl will never be able to see and hear, as well as walk. Doctors advised leaving the newborn girl in the hospital, but the parents did not agree to this.

Natalia and Danko were supported by fans and some of their acquaintances among the pop stars. The singer said that his daughter lives and is happy, despite her health problems. Rehabilitation is not in vain - Agatha demonstrates positive dynamics, outwardly she is almost no different from healthy children.


To always have enough money for the treatment of his daughter, Danko went into business - he organized the production of sausages and meat products with a friend. In addition, the musician has launched his own official website, where he offers his services both as a guest musician at a private event and as a host of events.

Later, the singer, together with the doctor Natalya Pykhtina, who treated Agatha, opened a rehabilitation center for special children.


Danko with his former civilian wife and daughters

The child's illness became a turning point in the musician's biography. According to Danko, the serious health problems of his daughter opened the singer's eyes to the duplicity and hypocrisy of Russian show business stars. The singer claims that before the problems that naturally hit the performer's popularity, Danko had friendships with, and even. But when the musician lost his position in the charts, former friends stopped communicating with him, and at social events they began to ignore the singer's attempts to start a dialogue.


Danko with his former family

The musician also spoke negatively about charitable foundations. In an interview, the singer said that such organizations work only for the sake of PR, but not for the sake of helping people.

In May 2017, Danko and his wife became guests of the show "Actually" on Channel One. In the studio of the program, the TV presenter asked a couple of spicy questions. The reason for going to a talk show in which stars share secrets from their personal lives was the musician's scandalous statement. Danko accused his wife of treason, and not just treason: the musician claimed that he was raising and treating someone else's child, and Agatha's real father was a certain Swiss billionaire, whose name the artist did not name.

On the program, it turned out that the initiator of the proceedings was Alexander's mother. The woman also went through a lie detector. Experts commenting on the show have found that the musician's mother has a strong influence on the star's son. The woman initially opposed the marriage of her son with Natalya and more than once openly declared this. Elena Leonidovna also stated that the spouses had to leave the sick Agatha in the hospital. The woman believes that the strong should give way to the weak, and since Danko has a healthy daughter, then she should pay all attention.

Subsequently, Danko's mother began to suspect that Agatha was not Alexander's own daughter, and infected her son with these suspicions. During a polygraph test, Danko asked his wife if she was cheating on him, but after that the viewers learned unsightly details about the life of the musician himself. Natalya said that a man who himself left the family for a month or half a year and started novels on the side has no moral right to ask his wife about infidelity. The focus of the conversation shifted to the musician's past relationship.


Nevertheless, the singer decided to finally check whether he is the father of the child. Danko, the results of which he received right in the studio of the TV show. The musician found out on the air that Agatha was without a doubt his daughter, which he was incredibly happy about.

After these events, family relations finally deteriorated. Fadeev left the family and started an affair with DJ Maria Siluyanova. According to the ex-wife, the singer stopped communicating with his family and does not support them financially.

Danko now

In 2019, Danko is a frequent guest on television, but not as an artist, but as a guest expert on various shows. So, Alexander spoke about the singer. According to him, Julia, like many creative people, died early due to the peculiarities of the profession. Musicians and singers tour a lot, do not observe the regime of rest, sleep and nutrition, often make sacrifices for the sake of a beautiful "picture" and visual perception of the artist. All this cannot but hurt health.

Danko himself leads a healthy lifestyle, has given up alcohol, malnutrition, and visits the gym. Fadeev is sure that this is the only way to improve your health and in the future to bypass those problems that a person has awarded himself because of an incorrect lifestyle.

Doctors diagnosed the youngest child with cerebral palsy, therefore, from the very first days of the girl, her parents fought with all their might for her life. However, in 2017, everyone was surprised by the news that Alexander Fadeev ( Danko's real name - Approx. ed.) left the family. He meets with designer and DJ Maria Siluyanova.

The singer's wife Natalya insists that he pay child support. However, she has not yet applied to the court. Her interests are represented by human rights activist Katya Gordon. They hope to resolve the issue peacefully.

“Natasha does not hold any grudge, she only wants to achieve the payment of alimony. The most difficult thing is to endure Danko's indifference, he completely stopped paying attention to the girls, and generally shows an incomprehensible negative to the younger one. How many times we met on the set of programs: he always stood up to protect the family, was ready to give the last to Agatha. And now I look and do not understand what is happening, the person seems to have been replaced. Natasha and I offered to sign Danko an alimony agreement. However, he refused, they say, there is no money! " - Gordon stated earlier.

On the air of the TV show “Let Them Talk”, dedicated to the problems in the Danko family, the lawyer said that since the singer does not work, he refuses to sign the alimony agreement. “Like a mother, her heart hurts for a small child,” the human rights activist emphasized.

While the eldest daughter Sonya lived separately from Natalia's mother, with her dad, she did not understand that Agatha had serious health problems. However, over time, the girl realized: her sister is not like other children. As it became known in the studio of the program, Danko called his eldest daughter and promised to feed her and also support her financially. But the singer allegedly did not want to help the younger Agatha.

Natalia does not interfere with the ex-spouse's personal life, but wants to achieve financial support. Appearing on the program, Danko met with his ex-wife and spoke frankly about the reasons for the discord.

According to him, instead of engaging in creativity, he plunged deeply into the topic of disabled children. He denies all of Natalia's accusations. Danko said: he is not against paying money to his wife and children.

A new darling of Danko, Maria, also appeared in the studio. She herself has a child, a two-year-old son. She claims that she is completely independent and does not depend on men in any way, therefore she condemns Natalya for the fact that the woman does not work.

Danko's mother Elena Ilyinskaya also came to the studio to support her son. She remembered how, at the end of her second pregnancy, Natalya risked her health by riding a motorcycle in Thailand. Then the artist gave a lot of money to save the pregnancy after the unfortunate incident.

Danko himself also suspected that his wife had a new man. However, the muscular macho, with whom Natalia was photographed, turned out to be her friend. Oleg Sukharnikov is married, and he and his wife also have a daughter who suffers from cerebral palsy.

“We have friendly relations. Natasha is just a pretty and attractive woman, ”the man explained.

Danko's lawyer Yulia Potapova turned to the other party with a proposal to draw up documents on payments that would completely suit both Danko and Natalia.

“The first thing he said to me when he turned was:“ I love my children very much. I respect the mother of my children, I will help them, ”Potapova said.

Natalia was ready to shake hands with Alexander. However, he fears that the situation with the ex-wife's demands will repeat itself. “I expect any meanness from her. Natasha and children are completely different people for me now, ”concluded Danko.

Danko is a singer who has great talent and a whole army of fans. For those who wish to get acquainted with the biography and personal life of the artist, we recommend reading this article.
