The father of the late singer Zhanna Friske became a guest of Lera Kudryavtseva’s “Secret for a Million” program. In an interview with the TV presenter, Vladimir Friske told what his daughter talked about before her death, what secrets his grandson Platon shared with him, and most importantly, why TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev does not want Zhanna’s son to see his grandparents.

According to Vladimir Borisovich, Shepelev never visited the singer’s grave in two and a half years. Father still can't forgive failed son-in-law that he refused to fight the disease and wanted to send Zhanna to a hospice to die.

I told him: this is my daughter, she will be at home, we will take care of her,” recalls Vladimir Friske.

The star's father told how Zhanna died and what her last words were. The singer believed until the very end that she could defeat cancer. Shortly before his death, Vladimir Borisovich asked Zhanna: “Daughter, how do you feel?”

- Dad, it’s nothing. Nothing hurts me. “The only thing is, when I wake up, I don’t remember anything,” the father conveyed Zhanna’s words. According to him, his daughter was a fighter by nature, and on the eve of her death she said: “We will defeat this bullshit.”

That's all. “I never spoke about it again,” said Vladimir Friske. According to him, before her death, the singer could no longer talk, she was injected with painkillers, and she did not perceive reality well.

Now the main pain for Vladimir Borisovich and his wife is that Dmitry Shepelev does not allow them to see Plato. For the sake of visits with his grandson, Friske is ready to give the TV presenter the house that he purchased with Zhanna’s money - this mansion has become a bone of contention between son-in-law and father-in-law.

Vladimir Borisovich complained that Shepelev was deliberately erasing the memory of Zhanna:

Photos of her in his house…. - and the father makes a characteristic hand gesture, showing that Dmitry has removed the images of the singer away from Plato’s eyes.

The cross that Zhanna gave to Plato before her death was thrown away by Shepelev, says the singer’s father.

During the meeting, little Platosha admitted to his grandfather: “I can’t communicate with you. Dad forbids it." Dmitry does his best to prevent the boy from meeting his relatives and does not even try to hide how much he hates Zhanna’s family. The conflict reached such a stage that the star’s father even suggested that Shepelev take a DNA test - he doubts that the TV presenter is Platosha’s father.

But Shepelev refuses. “He’s afraid,” says Vladimir Borisovich.


Presenter Lera Kudryavtseva admitted that filming this episode of “Secret for a Million” was the most difficult for her in the entire history of the program. During the broadcast, listening to the revelations of the singer’s father, Lera could not hold back her tears.

On June 15, singer Zhanna Friske passed away. Her death shocked the whole country: the smiling, cheerful and beautiful artist was loved by many, and literally everyone hoped for her miraculous recovery. When it became known about Zhanna’s serious illness in the winter of 2014, not only stars, but also ordinary Russians responded to the call to help her financially. The money raised was enough not only to conduct a course of a special experimental vaccine in the USA, but also to help several children suffering from cancer. Zhanna felt better, she returned to Russia and was determined to fight further and make a full recovery. But a miracle, alas, did not happen. A few months ago she became worse, then she stopped recognizing her loved ones and fell into a coma. Zhanna died in her parents' house near Moscow, in the arms of her friend Olga Orlova. On June 16, when the sad news of her passing hit the media, everyone cried, and even nature in Moscow responded to this event with rain. A farewell to Zhanna is scheduled for June 17, and on June 18 she will be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. “StarHit” decided to summarize all the information about the death and funeral of Zhanna Friske.

May your memory be blessed, angel,” these are the words left by Zhanna’s fans.

On July 11, the first concert in memory of the famous singer took place at the Alexey Kozlov club as part of the charity project “Zhanna Friske - I’m near!” On Thursday, with the support of the event organizer Alexey Kholoptsev, a press conference was held at the Igor Sandler Production Center with the participation of the Friske family.

Charity refuses to provide movement reports Money, intended for the treatment of his daughter. Vladimir Friske intends to defend the good name of his family and figure out where the money that the whole country collected for Zhanna Friske went to.

The family is grieving the loss of their pet. Zhanna Friske's second Labrador dog also suffers from health problems. After the death of his mistress, Ulius was diagnosed with cancer. Natalya Friske fights for the dog’s life, takes her to chemotherapy treatments and walks with her.

The TV presenter's open letter sparked rumors about his possible chosen one. In his address to Zhanna Friske, Dmitry Shepelev mentioned a certain woman who helped him overcome deep depression after the singer’s death. As it turned out, there can be no romantic relationship between Zhanna’s close people. The singer's sister Natalya Friske confirmed this fact. “This is all nonsense. Ksyusha has been married for many years. She has a son and even a grandson,” Natalya told StarHit.

The kids whom the singer helped contacted her in letters. “StarHit” found out how children feel who continue to live thanks to the help of Zhanna Friske. In memory of her, the girls wrote letters where they talked about how she changed their lives.

The photographs published by her close friends, for example, Olga Orlova, Ekaterina Tsvetova, Oksana Stepanova, became valuable to everyone who loved Zhanna.

"StarHit" has collected unique archival photos the departed singer through the eyes of loved ones.

The TV presenter addressed his beloved a year after her death. According to the showman, for a long time he could not come to his senses and realize what really happened. Dmitry Shepelev also stated that for a year there was a woman next to him who tried to save him from despair.

Katya Tsvetova gave exclusive interview"StarHit". A friend of Zhanna Friske told for the first time how they were looking for an apartment together in Miami, learned about the singer’s pregnancy, and how, shortly before the artist’s death, they went to see their spiritual father.

On the eve of the anniversary of the singer's death, her sister gave her first candid interview. The woman told about what happened to Zhanna’s things, what secrets were kept in her mobile phone and what she dreamed about when she was sick. “On the last day of her life, I was not there. On June 13, I found out that I was pregnant. I arrived on June 15 to tell Zhanna about this. But she developed an allergy, so they didn’t let me see her. On the same day, my sister passed away. At the funeral I held on with all my might. But then all these nerves... I lost my child,” Natalya admitted.

Olga Kopylova gave an interview to Andrei Malakhov’s “Tonight” program. The singer’s mother remembered the brightest moments of Zhanna Friske’s life and talked about how her family was experiencing the most terrible and irreparable loss. “Plato was always nearby, his and Zhanna’s rooms were opposite,” said Olga Vladimirovna. “He talked to his mother, approached her, stroked her hair, touched her fingers. Zhanna did not believe that she would leave. She never talked about death, she knew that she was sick, but she never talked about death. But God ordered it this way.”

Olga Kopylova gave an interview to Andrei Malakhov’s “Tonight” program. Zhanna Friske's mother told how she survived this terrible year after my daughter left. On the eve of the anniversary of the star’s death, Olga Kopylova showed the artist’s apartment, where she was happy, and also openly talked about her relationship with her daughter’s common-law husband, Dmitry Shepelev.

The three-year-old boy made amazing progress in sports. Together with his father Dmitry Shepelev, the child tried himself as a gymnast. Many noted Plato's dexterity and fearlessness.

The next court hearing took place in Moscow. The question of communication between Jeanne's relatives and little Plato remains open. The Friske family lawyer intends to defend the rights of his clients. “Thanks to Shepelev’s representatives at least for the fact that they objectively explain their position. Dmitry does not have any supernatural demands, and the court took time to review the documents. Therefore, the meeting is postponed to July 15. "- said the lawyer of the Friske family.

The organizers plan to help orphans. The first event was a concert in memory of the singer, which took place on July 11. The artists performed Zhanna Friske's songs in unexpected arrangements.

The singer’s father wants to know what amounts and when were transferred for her treatment. Vladimir Borisovich Friske wrote an appeal to Rusfond with a request to provide data on cash flows that were transferred to the organization for Zhanna.

Dmitry Shepelev allowed the singer’s relatives to see the boy. According to Natalia Friske, the baby is incredibly similar to his mother. At the meeting, the relatives of the untimely departed artist could not hold back their tears. “It was me and my mother,” Natasha Friske shared with StarHit. “Dad couldn’t do it, he wasn’t feeling well.” Dima himself chose the place, he was accompanied by three security guards, and also watched the meeting family psychologist. Lord, Plato is a copy of his mother. He immediately recognized my grandmother and me and called me Aunt Tata. I couldn’t hold back my tears, because I hadn’t seen our boy for so long. The psychologist asked me to pull myself together. We talked for about half an hour. They gave Platosha toys. I hope that we will continue to see each other."

The charity appealed the refusal to initiate criminal proceedings. This situation arose due to the fact that a report on more than 20 million rubles collected for the treatment of Zhanna Friske has not yet been provided.

Vladimir Borisovich hopes that through the court he will be able to achieve the right to see his grandson. The conflict between the family of Zhanna Friske and her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev has been going on for almost a year. The parties cannot reach a solution to the problem peacefully. A court hearing is scheduled to take place in early June, which will determine the order of meetings between the singer’s son and her parents.

The TV presenter admitted that he constantly thinks about Zhanna Friske. Little Plato knows that his mother is always there. Dmitry Shepelev raises his son moderately strictly, dresses him to his liking and develops his intellect. “An interesting coincidence: recently my son and I had dinner at a cafe where Zhanna and I had often visited before. And for dessert, from many options, he chose carrot cake. Delicious, I ask. - Very! - Do you really like? - Yes! So, without knowing it himself, he chose Jeanne’s favorite dessert in this cafe. Of course, I told him about it,” Dmitry shared.

The family of the late singer is outraged by the incorrect information in the press. The star’s parents were not invited to the police to clarify the circumstances in the case of the missing millions of Rusfond. “This is not true, the singer’s family was not at any interrogation. We continue to work with Dmitry Shepelev’s lawyers,” the lawyer said.

During the broadcast of the NTV channel “Zvonok”, Vovan and Lexus tried to bring Dmitry Shepelev and Vladimir Borisovich to the negotiating table. Despite many disagreements, both sides expressed their readiness to meet each other halfway in the interests of little Plato.

The singer's father does not want personal information to be broadcast. Vladimir Borisovich sent a letter to the head of the TV channel. He believes that his rights were violated. He is outraged that the presenters found out family secrets fraudulently.

The singer’s family, as well as her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev, as the official guardian of Plato’s son, entered into inheritance rights. However, how much money Zhanna Friske’s relatives will share is still unknown.

Olga Vladimirovna remained silent for a long time. The scandal that erupted over the money collected for Zhanna Friske’s treatment affected her mother’s state of mind. It is difficult for a woman to endure attacks on her family.

The parties are preparing for the trial. The family of the late singer Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev will try to come to general opinion in an acute conflict that has been going on for several months.

Alexander Dobrovinsky said that the whole truth will be revealed in the near future. For a long time in the case of missing money that the whole country collected for treatment seriously ill singer, there was no progress. Apparently, the situation has changed, and the investigation was able to find out who is actually guilty of the disappearance of a large sum.

A friend of the singer who tragically passed away spoke for the first time about what she thinks about the tense relationship between her family. Olga Orlova would like to reconcile Zhanna’s family and common-law husband artist Dmitry Shepelev.

The singer's sister told why this happened. Natalya Friske congratulated the baby on her Instagram page and admitted that she loves him more life. “Dima took Platosha away,” Zhanna’s sister, Natalya Friske, shared with StarHit. – It seems to be to Belarus. Therefore, it was not possible to congratulate him. We hope that as soon as he returns, he will allow us to meet our beloved boy."

Zhanna Friske's son Platon turned three years old. Natalya wrote warm words about her beloved nephew on her Instagram page. The singer’s sister admitted that she loves the baby more than life itself.

Zhanna Friske's father commented on rumors that the TV presenter does not give him the opportunity to congratulate his grandson. This week little Plato will celebrate his third birthday, and the singer’s family would like to be with him on this day.

Andrei Grozny openly spoke about his affair with the star. He announced that he proposed marriage to Zhanna Friske, but she refused him. ABOUT incurable disease The producer was one of the last to recognize the singer.

32-year-old lawyer Radik Gushchin asked for forgiveness from the singer’s family. The man admitted that he did not want to hurt Zhanna Friske’s family and friends, and therefore considers it his duty to tell how everything really happened. “I never knew Zhanna,” admitted Gushchin.

“StarHit” arranged a meeting between Natalia Friske and a psychic. Mohsen Norouzi predicted that the singer’s relatives would soon see Plato, but the boy would live with his dad, and a girl would be born into their family - a copy of Jeanne.

Olga Orlova's video "Farewell, my friend" caused powerful emotions from the singer's fans. The heartfelt lines of the song accompanied by the video sequence with the participation of the departed Zhanna Friske did not leave anyone indifferent.

The first court hearing took place in Moscow, during which the family of Zhanna Friske is trying to reach an agreement with Dmitry Shepelev about communicating with Plato. Only representatives of both sides and a man who calls himself the possible father of the singer’s son are present at the trial. StarHit published the first photos from the courtroom.

Olga Orlova spoke about how Zhanna Friske’s little son Platon is growing up on the air of the “Tonight” program with Andrei Malakhov. “Plato is a wonderful, active, cheerful, smart kid,” the singer shared. - He’s already talking with all his might. I love my godson very much, I see him as often as possible. I will try to be a good godmother for him.”

The singer noted that it was her duty to tell the world about her beloved friend. Olga Orlova and Zhanna Friske were inseparable for many years. A loved one of the untimely deceased star considered it necessary to record a song for her that would find a response in the hearts of millions of people.

The investigation is finding out where the debt to Rusfond went. The star's relatives only partially reported on the amount of money missing from Zhanna Friske's account. “The answer came that the singer’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, did not make any transfers or withdrawals from Zhanna Friske’s account, where Rusfond sent donations,” explained a source from the Investigative Committee.

Vladimir Friske is outraged that their family was accused of theft. Relatives of Zhanna Friske said that they are ready to account for every ruble spent, and they have saved all payment documents.

Having never received a report on the money that disappeared from Zhanna’s account from either the Friske family or Dmitry Shepelev, Charitable organization Rusfond contacted investigative committee of the Russian Federation with a request to initiate a criminal case regarding the theft of funds. “We only had a card with money from RusFond for a month and a half, and we will account for all expenses incurred during this time,” Vladimir Friske told StarHit. “We didn’t take anything extra.”

Today, the first meeting took place in the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow, at which the procedure for communication between Zhanna Friske’s parents and their grandson was discussed. The whole country followed the development of this story and, perhaps, every second person discussed the details of the family drama.

Initially, nurse Christina Rose, who became a writer, planned to release a book about the life of Zhanna Friske called “Cardiogram of Life” in the fall, as StarHit already wrote. However, some difficulties arose: at the printing house the writer was asked to correct the manuscript. As a result, the first biography of Zhanna Friske was published only in December.

The conflict between Jeanne's dad and her common-law husband has been going on for six months, since the singer's death. They cannot share custody of the artist’s two-year-old son Plato. But it seems that both are already tired of the fight. Vladimir Borisovich admitted to StarHit that for the sake of his grandson he wants to make peace with Dmitry.

On the eve of the holiday, Natalya Friske shared her memories of what it was like last celebration New Year's Eve with her sister. A relative of Zhanna Friske told what the artist dreamed of and what wish she made during the chimes.

Before Zhanna Friske’s relatives had time to move away from the scandal with Dmitry Shepelev, a new one broke out. This time, a certain Radik Gushchin stated that he real father two-year-old Plato. According to 32-year-old lawyer Gushchin, three years ago he had an affair with Zhanna, albeit a short one - from June to August 2012. And then the singer told him that she was expecting a child. However, StarHit managed to find out that the Friske family does not even know Radik.

The charity organization that collected money for the treatment of Zhanna Friske has been waiting for several months for a report from the singer’s relatives. As written on the official website, on December 14, Rusfond handed over to the notary who is handling the star’s case a statement of claims to the inherited property.

Zhanna Friske passed away in June of this year. The artist died in Moscow after a long battle with brain cancer. “Yesterday a memorial service for deceased slave Jeanne of God (in baptism - Anna). Hundreds of people came to honor the memory of the singer. They all lit candles to the Kazan Icon mother of god, they wrote notes,” the temple minister, Father Alexander, told StarHit.

Six months ago, after a long battle with brain cancer, the singer left, but her work continues to live on. In addition, numerous fans of the artist re-read the interview with Zhanna and discover new facets of her personality and soul, which has always been open and kind.

Attempts to share custody only son The artists finally quarreled between Zhanna’s relatives and her common-law husband and father of two-year-old Platon, Dmitry Shepelev. The inheritance also became a stumbling block, because before her death the star never wrote a will.


Today, the family counted down exactly six months from the day their Zhanna passed away. All these months, literally every day, fans did not stop remembering their idol with warm words. Some dedicated poems to the deceased star, others created collages from photographs of Friske and her son Plato, so that at least in the photographs the two-year-old child could be close to his mother. StarHit has collected some of the most touching family photos.

Artist Nikasa Safronov will put the painting up for auction, and the funds raised will be transferred to 11-year-old Natasha Dolmatova from Perm. She suffers from brain cancer, an ailment that the singer struggled with.


The family of the untimely deceased singer appeared in the studio of the “Let Them Talk” program to tell the truth about the real relationship between Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. The artist's relatives are still trying to get the right to see little Plato, but they are unable to come to an agreement with the child's father.

After her death, the father of Zhanna Friske’s child did not have a good relationship with her family. Now, according to Dmitry, the situation is out of control. In this regard, Shepelev is forced to address the public for the first time to tell his version of what is happening between him and Zhanna’s father. The TV presenter published a video message in which he admits that a recent meeting with Vladimir Borisovich turned out to be a lot of stress for him and little Plato.

Almost six months after the death of Zhanna Friske best friend star Olga Orlova spoke about how she felt. The ex-soloist of the group “Brilliant” admitted that she still cannot believe what happened and that most of all she is worried about the fate of the son of her untimely deceased friend. Orlova noted that little Plato became a special godson for her, and she feels incredible responsibility for him. Olga also added that no one can replace a child’s mother, but the singer herself will do everything possible so that Plato always feels happy child and understood that he was loved.

Until now, family and friends cannot come to terms with the irreparable loss. Natalya Friske admitted on social networks that she sees her beloved sister in her dreams every day. The girl also admits that she misses Zhanna very much and cannot remain silent about it.

Zhanna Friske's family plans to erect a monument at the singer's grave. Relatives of the tragically deceased star are in search of a suitable sketch. On social networks they turned to Friske’s fans with a request to voice their ideas. While the artist’s family settled on the option of a monument in full height, where Zhanna would be in a white dress.

Natasha Dolmatova was among the children to whom Rusfond allocated part of the funds collected for the treatment of Zhanna Friske. An 11-year-old girl took a course in Germany and felt better. A month ago she was examined, and doctors discovered that she had metastases. At the moment, the girl needs help from qualified specialists. There is a chance for recovery, but only if it becomes possible to eliminate the metastasis. To do this, Natasha Dolmatova’s family needs to raise 200 thousand euros. The girl's mother appealed to the public asking for help.

Zhanna Friske's close friend Olga Orlova, after the tragedy she experienced, is gradually returning to ordinary life. The singer recorded a song called “Bird” and shot a video for it. The lyrical composition attracted the attention of not only Orlova’s fans, but also Friske, because many felt that the song was dedicated to her. However, Olga Orlova herself clarified that this is not entirely true, and she will dedicate another single to Zhanna, which she will present a little later.

A strange man regularly approaches members of Zhanna Friske’s family with a proposal to freeze the star’s body and rebury it. Jeanne's frightened relatives claim that a man unknown to them appears in their field of vision every time they come to her grave. According to Natalya Friske, the stranger gave her a letter in which he voiced his proposals and threatened with dire consequences if they did not follow his recommendations.

The conflict that has arisen between the family of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev is gaining momentum. This time, the father of the singer’s child contacted the police with a statement that he was receiving threats from Vladimir Borisovich Friske. The TV presenter also provided an audio recording in which the singer’s father’s claims and threats were voiced. Later this ambiguous situation The artist’s sister also commented. Natalya Friske stated that Dmitry Shepelev deliberately brought her father to such a state so that he could write down threats against himself, and later use this in court.

An unexpected scandal turned out to be the communication between sister Zhanna Friske and fans on Instagram. Hundreds of people turn to Natalya every day with words of support. Sometimes the singer’s fans ask her family questions that only they could give truthful answers to. This happened this time too, when Natalia Friske’s subscribers asked her on the microblog whether she was seeing little Plato. The star's sister immediately gave a negative answer, explaining that her nephew's father was against her communicating with the boy. The girl also added that her family failed to establish relations with Dmitry Shepelev.

Already this winter, Zhanna Friske’s parents plan to install a marble monument on her grave, which so far only has a wooden cross. The artist’s sister addressed the star’s fans on a social network and invited them to participate in creating a sketch of the monument. Many who knew and loved Jeanne responded to this request with great attention and willingly shared their thoughts. Some suggested using the image of the dogs that Friske loved so much in the monument, while others decided that angel wings would look much more appropriate. The artist’s family has not yet made a choice and continues to study proposals from interested people.

A fan of the star, Christina Rose, has been following the life and work of her beloved singer for many years, and when the whole country was shocked by the news of the death of Zhanna Friske, she was especially inspired by her story. The girl decided to write a book about her idol, which she called “Cardiogram of Life.” The creation of the artist’s fans was appreciated by Friske’s loved ones. The singer’s father admitted that when he read the book dedicated to the memory of his daughter, he cried all night. Already this fall, fans of Zhanna Friske will be able to purchase a book about her in Once again recall brightest moments her biography.

Almost three months after the tragedy, there were people who wanted to make money from the grief of the Friske family. Messages about the sudden illness of Zhanna Friske’s sister Natalya began to appear on the Internet every now and then. The attackers announced a fundraiser for the girl’s treatment and, without a twinge of conscience, published emotional messages on behalf of Natalya herself. Quite soon, the artist’s sister clarified the situation and warned everyone concerned that they should not believe such reports. Natasha Friske appealed to the administration of the social network VKontakte with a request to block the pages of the “clones”.

Zhanna Friske's sister Natalya published on her VKontakte page photo collages of her nephew, the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev, Platon. They show the boy with his mother visiting the petting zoo and with his beloved aunt and uncle. Zhanna looks at her beloved child with eyes full of happiness and love.

On July 8, 2015, Zhanna Friske would have turned 41 years old. Friends and relatives of the untimely departed singer have been publishing her photos on their microblogs since the morning, sharing memories of her and leaving kind words addressed to her. Early in the morning, the artist’s mother Olga Vladimirovna, sister Natalya, friend Olga Orlova and common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev visited her grave.

Close attention of the media is now focused on the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. The fact that after the death of his mother the boy was in Bulgaria became clear soon after the death of Zhanna. Plato is surrounded by care - his star father is now with him, who devotes one hundred percent of his time to the boy. The family is resting in the apartment of Philip Kirkorov, who kindly provided his accommodation to the young father and a two year old child.

Zhanna Friske's family just has to pay for her treatment in the USA. The account for 106 thousand dollars has not yet been closed, and the clinic in Miami, where Zhanna took the course, persistently sends financial documents to the address of the Friske family. Zhanna’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, spoke on REN-TV about why this is happening.

Less than a month has passed since the death of Zhanna Friske, and a new scandal related to the personality of the star is already breaking out online. A series of programs dedicated to discussing the circumstances of her death gave rise to a whole wave of discussions, disputes and very unexpected conclusions. Outrage was caused by the harsh position of Zhanna’s father, expressed in the “Live” program. Later, the conflict developed with the participation of Joseph Kobzon and representatives of the popular public page VKontakte.

StarHit learned that Plato now lives in the apartments of Philip Kirkorov in Bulgaria. “Philip had long suggested that Zhanna take the child there to rest. Thank him very much for this! – the singer’s father Vladimir Borisovich shared with StarHit. “Now Platon lives in Kirkorov’s apartment, he is very comfortable there...” Next to the baby is now a nanny and grandmother - Dmitry’s mother Natalya Alexandrovna. “I also lived with him in Bulgaria, but now I’m back in Minsk, working,” Shepelev’s dad Andrey Viktorovich tells StarHit. - The plateau is growing. We have not yet told him that his mother has passed away. And he himself is still small, he doesn’t ask. He likes the sea, he loves to swim and run on the sand. He tinkers with spatulas and buckets, plays with cars, learns to swim. Dima will talk to him himself later. He comes often. Now in Moscow for work, but soon he will return to his son again... Platosha will stay in Bulgaria until the end of the summer. And in September, Dima is thinking about sending him to kindergarten in Moscow, it’s time for him to socialize, communicate with other children, and learn little by little.”

Zhanna Friske's father appeared on another television show to talk about how the family was coping with the tragedy and what was happening between them and Dmitry Shepelev. Vladimir Borisovich admitted that his wife this moment It’s very difficult and she still can’t recover from the grief. According to the man, Olga Vladimirovna leaves the house only to go to her daughter’s grave; she tries to avoid communicating with people. It’s interesting that Vladimir Friske was reluctant to talk about his son-in-law. Having dropped a couple of careless phrases that everything was not all right between them, he refused to explain the essence of the conflict in more detail. Zhanna Friske's father made it clear that he has something to reproach Dmitry Shepelev for, and there are a lot of things that he cannot forgive him.

It became known that, having only stayed briefly in Moscow after the funeral of Zhanna Friske, Dmitry Shepelev flew to his son in Bulgaria. At the reception of the Emerald Beach Resort and Spa, located in the resort town of Ravda, Shepelev was accidentally met by producer Evgeniy Fridlyand, who also arrived on Black Sea coast with a family. “Dima is holding up well! – he said on one of the social networks. - And Plato, my son, is such a good one - a chubby hero.... And he holds his hand. Doesn’t let go even one step...” Fridlyand also said that Shepelev fundamentally does not read the Internet and does not watch TV.

Unlike father Vladimir Borisovich Friske, who commented on the condition of his star daughter, acted for television and was generally a public figure, Zhanna Friske’s mother was always in the shadows, protecting her daughter’s peace.

At the farewell ceremony for Zhanna Friske at Crocus City Hall, many were surprised why the deceased’s common-law husband, Dmitry Shepelev, was not among the relatives. Her father and mother, sister Natalya and her husband Sergei were sitting at the coffin with Zhanna’s body, but there was no beloved man. According to " Komsomolskaya Pravda", the reason is that Dmitry was unable to fly from Bulgaria on time, where he was with his parents and son Plato. It was expected that the TV presenter would be in Moscow the night before the funeral, which will take place on June 18. At the same time, Platon will remain abroad - the family decided not to traumatize the boy by participating in mourning events.

In Moscow, in the Crocus City Hall, a farewell ceremony for Zhanna Friske is taking place. Both the singer’s relatives and friends, as well as her ordinary fans, will be able to come here. From the very morning, an incredible number of people gathered at the entrance to the farewell site. The funeral ceremony is scheduled to begin at 14:00, but people began to gather much earlier.

The performer will be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. Then a wake will take place in one of the best Moscow restaurants - only close relatives of the singer are invited.

The release of Andrei Malakhov’s “Let Them Talk” program was dedicated to the memory of Zhanna. It showed the first interview with the singer’s father Vladimir Borisovich, given after the singer’s death. “We were hoping all this time. We thought there would be some kind of miracle. “I realized that miracles don’t happen,” said Vladimir Borisovich, without hiding his tears. - She gave birth in April, and fell ill two months later. I had thoughts that this was connected with her pregnancy. We were already sent to die then. Well done, she pulled through. There was a positive dynamic, she even drove once, she lost weight... When she regained consciousness, we slowly turned on her songs, she reacted and she felt better. I know she will be better off there than here. I don't know how I will live now. Only our grandson will remind us of her.” Her best friend Olga Orlova, composer Igor Krutoy, singer Valeria, singer Natasha Koroleva, stylist Vlad Lisovets and other stars also came to honor the memory of Zhanna. All of them not only shared their experiences, but also recalled bright moments associated with Zhanna Friske.

In Boris Korchevnikov’s “Live Broadcast” program, her family and friends spoke about the last days of Zhanna Friske’s life. The singer's sister Natalya gave a short interview. She said that on June 13, Zhanna lost consciousness, and spent the last two days of her life lying unconscious in bed at home. Zhanna Friske's father, Vladimir Borisovchi, also made a brief statement. “We chose the nearest cemetery - Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye. Dmitry wrote that he was leaving on the next plane, but I don’t know when he would return. Plato is now in Bulgaria. He literally left on Sunday, and on Monday Zhanna died... The boy was here for eight months, he just walked here, we wanted him to relax at sea. She was unconscious for three months. And she couldn’t say anything, she was in a coma. Her mother, sister and two friends were always with her. Dima was not there. Zhanna's departure was very difficult. The doctors could not help, what was the point of calling an ambulance earlier - there was no pulse anymore,” said the singer’s father. In addition to him, journalist Otar Kushanashvili, actress and TV presenter Elena Proklova, producer Andrei Razin and other stars had the opportunity to express their opinions on the program.

Her classmate Natalya Krechetova shared her memories of the years spent next to the star. The woman admitted that she would never forget her amazing friend and will forever remember her as bright and cheerful. In addition, Natalya stated that Zhanna Friske dreamed of a second child and sincerely believed that she had everything ahead of her. “Back in January, you dreamed of a second child and were full of hope. Sleep, my girl, you continue to live in your son,” wrote a classmate of the star. Krechetova published on her page on the social network rare pictures girlfriends. In the photo, the open and smiling schoolgirl is easy to recognize as the people's favorite. This is exactly how Zhanna Friske was remembered by classmates, friends, colleagues and numerous fans. These shots have truly never been seen before; they are unique in their kind.

It is known that at the time of Zhanna Friske’s death, her husband and son were not with her: TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev and little Platon had flown to Bulgaria on vacation a few days earlier, where Dima’s parents, Andrei Viktorovich and Natalya Aleksandrovna Shepelev, were already waiting for them. “StarHit” contacted the TV presenter’s dad to express his condolences. "Thank you. We are holding on. It’s very difficult for all of us now,” said Andrei Shepelev. – We are now trying to fly out of Burgas together with Dima and Plato. Of course, there are problems with this, with tickets. Plato is still small. We don’t tell him yet that his mother is no more... We won’t take him to the funeral either...”

ELLE Brand Director Natalya Shkuleva spoke about the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. “On the morning of June 14, Andrey (Malakhov - editor’s note) and I were returning from Baku,” Natalya shared with StarHit. “We were waiting for our luggage at Domodedovo airport and suddenly we saw Dima Shepelev, in his hands he was holding a diaper and a bottle of water. Little Plato ran around him non-stop. A very cheerful guy with a fashionable haircut, he looks like both Zhanna and Dima at the same time. I said Hi! How are you?" Plato became shy, sat down on the floor and hugged his father’s leg. But curiosity took over, the baby began to flirt: “Peek-a-boo” - and immediately hid. Dima and I started talking, it turned out they were flying to Bulgaria. Dima held on and didn’t show it, although we knew that the situation in the family was critical.”

Soon after it became known about the death of Zhanna Friske, her common-law husband, TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev commented on the death of his common-law spouse Zhanna Friske. He left a touching note on his Facebook page. “We always repeated: “Happiness loves silence.” I remain true to these words, because Zhanna remains for me absolute, pure, unique happiness. We didn't give up and fought to win. They say that 2 years is a long time in such a situation. But, of course, this is very little for us. I know for sure that we could not have done it without you. I want to thank everyone: who donated money for Zhanna’s treatment, prayed for her health, simply thought about her, wished her happiness and strength. I want you to know: these two years are largely your fault. Thank you! I wish you and your loved ones health. And in the near future I would like to focus on helping those who, like us, do not give up and fight for health and life.”

The singer’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, spoke about who her son Platon will remain with after the death of Zhanna Friske, who will take on the efforts to raise him. “The child must stay with his father. If he gives it to us, allows us to educate him, we will help educate him, naturally. Where should we leave him? He won’t be left without anyone,” the man said. Let us note that, in addition, he takes an active part in Plato’s upbringing. godmother Olga Orlova. At any free moment, the ex-“brilliant” tries to be close to the baby. “Platosha grew up practically in my arms, I was little with him in America, then in Latvia, we have a very close relationship,” Orlova previously said about her relationship with her named son.

Zhanna Friske was a multi-talented person: she not only sang and danced beautifully, but also, without having an acting education, achieved great success in cinema, starring in several sensational projects at once. The singer loved to try everything new and unknown: she experimented in the circus, at the skating rink and on a desert island. Participation in the project " Last Hero" showed the audience absolutely new Jeanne: her courage was surprising, and her firm life position aroused respect. And yet, the main thing in Zhanna’s life was her family. The people closest to her were her parents, sister Natalya, common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev and son Platon.

StarHit managed to contact a neighbor of the Friske family, who lives next to their country house in outskirts of Moscow. The man talked about what the last few months of the singer’s life were like and who her only son was with.

"IN Lately Zhanna was worse,” Friske’s neighbor Sergei tells StarHit. - I remember that she used to walk on her own, then she began to move with the help of her mother, leaning on her, and then she stopped going out altogether... Zhanna’s son Platon was with her parents - Volodya and Olga. There was always a nanny-assistant with the child, it was too hard for Zhanna’s parents, they tried not to show their emotions to the baby.”

Later it became known that a few days before the death of Zhanna Friske, Platon flew abroad with his father Dmitry Shepelev. Most likely, we're talking about about Bulgaria: it was for a flight to this country that the family recently checked in at one of the capital’s airports. Plato has not yet been told that his mother is no more.

The shocking news about the death of Zhanna Friske appeared late at night, but the stars rushed to react to it immediately. Social networks are full of mournful comments, condolences and emotional statements. Here are just a few of them:

Philip Kirkorov:“Farewell, beloved Zhanna... Farewell, friend... A true friend... I’m crying... It’s impossible to believe... It’s cruel...”

Lera Kudryavtseva:“My beloved girl... Farewell, my beautiful, kind, gentle friend. You are forever the sunshine in my heart. I can’t believe it, why????????? I'm crying".

Olga Orlova:“Farewell, my girl... Sleep well... You will forever remain in my heart...”

Many people remember well how on July 8, 2014, the singer was photographed by paparazzi celebrating her birthday in Jurmala. The artist then turned 40 years old, and, as you know, many people prefer not to organize celebrations or celebrate this date out of superstition, but for the star it was very important in such a difficult period to gather loved ones at one table and spend time with them. “StarHit” contacted the famous psychic Daria Mironova to find out how the last days of Zhanna’s life went and what Mironova herself associates with the singer’s departure. As it turned out, the participant in the “Battle of Psychics” is inclined to believe that Zhanna Friske, without knowing it, has brought the day of her death closer.

As it turned out, shortly before the death of Zhanna Friske, her Native sister Natalya received a long-awaited gift from her mother-in-law - a hand-embroidered beaded icon of St. Matrona. Natalya shared the news that she received this gift on her VKontakte page on the day her sister passed away. This icon was presented to Jeanne's closest relative so that she could pray for her health and well-being.

Projects of the publishing house Hearst Shkulev Media mourn the loss of Zhanna Friske and remember who she was: cheerful, kind, open and very optimistic. Zhanna infected everyone around her with her energy, and there was not a person in the world who would treat her without sympathy. Our selection contains the most striking episodes from Friska’s interview, her photographs and quotes that reveal the character and very essence of this amazing woman. Here are her confessions about how she relates to the people around her, in Marie Claire magazine: “Very often I endow a person with many different qualities, and then I am very, very disappointed... In general, I don’t like to judge people, but I can learn from them really like. Sit, listen, mouth open, absorb like a sponge.” And piercing words about God: “I pray to YOU. “I used to just repeat these words to myself, but now I feel every letter,” said for StarHit magazine, and beautiful photos from the ELLE collection.

Having confirmed the information about the death of singer Zhanna Friske, her relatives announced that she would find her final refuge in Moscow. Initially, it was not clear in which cemetery and when the singer would be buried. Later it became known that we were talking about the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. Commenting on what happened, close stars were stingy with words. “Unfortunately, Zhannochka is no longer with us,” said her father Vladimir Borisovich. “She passed away in Moscow. It’s very hard for me,” said friend, singer and ex-soloist of “Brilliant” Olga Orlova.

In June 2015, the popular singer Zhanna Friske died of brain cancer. For two and a half years after the tragedy, her relatives - parents and common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev - cannot come to an agreement. They accuse each other of missing a huge amount of money collected for the artist’s treatment, and are also unable to determine the order of meetings with her son, four-year-old Plato. Celebrity father Vladimir Friske came to the studio of the “Secret to a Million” program to again talk about difficult situation in family.

Zhanna's dad still can't find her mutual language with Dmitry. Moreover, he is sure that the man does not seek to preserve memories of his mother in the child’s memory.

“Before her death, Zhanna gave Plato a cross, but he threw away this cross,” said Vladimir Borisovich.

The singer’s father also remembered how his daughter left. He openly told how Zhanna struggled with terrible diagnosis and until my last breath I believed in a miracle. For the first time, the grief-stricken father will announce the artist’s last words to the whole country.

“We will defeat this bullshit,” and she didn’t talk about it anymore,” Vladimir Borisovich recalled.

Friske admitted that before own death he will think about Jeanne. However, now she dreams of regular meetings with her only grandson. The singer’s parents are even ready to give Shepelev their daughter’s house, just to be able to communicate unhindered with their child. They are sure that Dmitry is turning the boy against them, suggesting that his grandparents took the mansion and money for themselves.

Also, Zhanna Friske’s dad again spoke about accusations of theft. He is ready to account for every penny spent on his daughter’s treatment. Vladimir Borisovich told in whose pockets, in his opinion, tens of millions of rubles ended up. The man suspects Dmitry Shepelev of this.

“83 million was spent on treatment. 9-11 days after death, 15 million were immediately withdrawn, five days later - five million. Mom said: when Zhanna became very ill, he forced her to sign some documents,” the man recalled.

Vladimir Borisovich is outraged that Dmitry Shepelev, in his opinion, has never appeared at Zhanna’s grave in two and a half years...

Watch the details of a frank conversation with Zhanna Friske’s father on Saturday, December 23, at 17.00 on NTV in the “Secret to a Million” program.

The name of Zhanna Friske became widely recognizable when she left the Blestyashchie team and took up solo career. But, unfortunately, her star went out too early.

Already at a fairly adult age, Zhanna learned from her parents that she had a twin brother who died in the seventh month from asphyxia. This happened at birth. A few months later, Zhanna was born; she was born weak and weighed only 1380 grams.

The girl was a fighter by nature and achieved everything herself. She took on any job. But, being a creative person, she took part in various castings, so in fact, she ended up in the “Brilliant” group. Over time, as often happens, I grew out of this project and went “free swimming” by building solo career. The name of Zhanna Friske soon became known to everyone.

Her personal life was constantly discussed in the press, but she preferred not to talk about it until she met. It was with him that they were going to get married in Miami, but it didn’t come to the wedding ceremony. Zhanna Friske, who never left the TV screens, suddenly disappeared.

The last photos before her death, which she herself published on her pages on the Internet, where she was in interesting position. Then, some time after the lull, the paparazzi posted shocking photographs in which the singer was unrecognizable. Zhanna was lying on a hospital gurney. The picture was taken at one of the capital's airports. It was after this that Dmitry Shepelev spoke about Zhanna’s illness in Andrei Malakhov’s program. Since there was no point in hiding this fact anymore.

The best doctors, both ours and foreign ones, took care of the singer’s treatment. There was a moment when it seemed like there was hope. According to her friend and parents, Zhanna began to lead an almost normal lifestyle. She herself got up and cooked something, took care of the child. They even managed to persuade her to visit a beauty salon, where she and Olga Orlova had a manicure, and then had a girls’ get-together.

Zhanna Friske gained a lot of weight, journalists posted her last photos before her death, in them the woman looked tired and was completely different from her former self.

Decline of the star of domestic show business

When the relatives of Zhanna Friske, who was diagnosed with cancer, decided to make the news about her illness public, it came as a bolt from the blue for many. Everyone refused to believe it, hoping to the last that it was not true. The media actively discussed what happened, and soon a fundraiser was opened for the singer’s treatment.

An incredible amount was raised in record short time. Zhanna asked to send part of the collected funds to children who also received a disappointing diagnosis. Not only her fans, but the whole country prayed for Jeanne’s health. The topic of her health was constantly discussed and was almost number one among millions of people.

Shortly before Zhanna's death, reports appeared in the press that she was feeling better. Many breathed a sigh of relief, believing that there was finally light at the end of the tunnel.

But, as it turned out later, the improvement in well-being was only a short remission. Zhanna Friske passed away on June 15, 2015. It seemed that nature itself was mourning her death; that day it rained like an endless wall.


The last photos from the life of Zhanna Friske, when she was still sane

She died without regaining consciousness. The woman spent her last days in a coma, from which she was no longer able to come out. The artist was taken to the States for treatment. Journalists accompanied Zhanna Friske everywhere, following her everywhere. The extraction of sensational material is an integral part of their work.

They managed to take a photo. These were practically the last shots before the death of the public's favorite. Zhanna spent her last days within the walls of her home, surrounded by relatives and closest friends. They sat near her bed, replacing each other, not leaving for a minute.

Relatives wanted to see only close people at this sad and difficult hour. But, given the fame and national love to their dear person, they decided not to deprive the people of the opportunity to say goodbye to their favorite singer.


Funeral of Zhanna Friske

And it would be selfish to deprive fans of such an opportunity, especially since Zhanna loved her audience very much. Zhanna Friske's funeral service and funeral took place without the presence of strangers.


Parents at Zhanna's funeral

The closest and relatives were present at the funeral ceremony. Considering Zhanna’s publicity, of course, there were some journalists, but there were few of them.

Why was Dmitry Shepelev not with Zhanna in her last days of life?

At the farewell ceremony for Zhanna Friske, all her close and relatives were present except Dmitry Shepelev, the singer’s common-law husband. At that time he was abroad with their joint son Plato. Journalists of the yellow press, vying with each other to pick up this information, published articles with screaming headlines that Shepelev never loved his wife, since he did not bother to see her off on her last journey.

In fact, Dmitry returned immediately as soon as he learned about Zhanna’s death, leaving his son in Bulgaria with his parents.

He appeared in the church where the funeral of his common-law wife was being held, one of the first. They decided not to take Plato and their son with Zhanna because at that time he was only 2 years old and there was no need for the child to watch all this.

How was the funeral of Zhanna Friske

The funeral service for the popularly beloved artist was held in Yelokhovsky Cathedral. The ceremony took place early in the morning in the presence of relatives and friends of the deceased. In infancy, Jeanne was baptized in this same temple. But this has absolutely no secret meaning. The singer was buried at the Nikolo Arkhangelsk cemetery. Attended the funeral famous people, among whom were seen Philip Kirkorov, Sergei Lazarev and many other colleagues from the singer and actress Zhanna Friske.


Many famous people attended the singer's funeral

Information regarding the date and place of the funeral was known only to a narrow circle of people, so as not to create unnecessary fuss and to allow relatives to say goodbye to Zhanna without prying eyes. But, nevertheless, more than 100 people came to say goodbye and see her off with thunderous applause (as befits a public person).

Which celebrities were spotted at the funeral?

In addition to Sergei Lazarev and Philip Kirkorov, the singer’s funeral was also attended by Sergei Zverev, Lera Kudryavtseva, Svetlana Surganova, Zhanna’s colleague and part-time best friend Olga Orlova and many others.

In June 2015, the public was shocked by the news of the death of a bright star. Russian show business, Zhanna Friske. Of course, many understood that the terrible disease left no chance for the singer, but people still had hope. It was difficult not to hope, given that Zhanna miraculously managed to win two whole years from death, instead of the couple of months predicted by the doctors.

But people who knew Friske closely were convinced that this was really happening to strong people, which is what the artist was. The support of loved ones and relatives played a big role. And the death of Zhanna Friske and her latest photos before his death they shocked everyone.

After Zhanna’s death, on social networks and in interviews with major publications, many stars decided to talk about what a bright and hopeful person Zhanna was. First of all, after the tragedy, her close friends responded, among them Lolita, who admitted that Zhanna dreamed of a second child. Glucose, who could not believe that Zhanna was no more, also expressed her condolences.

There were also comments from former members of the group “Brilliant”, Zhanna’s stage colleagues. Yulia Kovalchuk admitted that she would miss Zhanna and, as Yulia is convinced, she would not want to see how sad everyone is. Of course, it could not have happened without the support of Olga Orlova, Zhanna’s friend, who devoted a lot of time to her loved one, spending the last days of the artist nearby. According to media reports, Olga was with the singer and her family in her apartment on the day Zhanna died. The news about Zhanna Friske, her illness and her last photos before her death spread all over the Internet.

The artist’s common-law husband was in Bulgaria at the moment when Zhanna died. People did not condemn him. The decision to go to Bulgaria with the son of Dmitry and Zhanna Platon was made by the singer’s relatives at a family council. The boy was two years old at that time, of course, the death of his mother and the fuss that arose because of the journalists would have been a big blow for the child.

To preserve the baby’s psyche, the father took him away from Moscow. By that time, Zhanna had been in a coma for a long time. To blame Dmitry for being far away on the day of his wife’s death is naturally stupid.

One only has to think about how hard it was for Jeanne’s family and friends, including her lover. Not everyone can watch the life of a loved one fade away. Shepelev himself, in an interview with a major publication, admitted that from the moment Zhanna was diagnosed, he and his wife did not make plans for the future, did not start talking about the upcoming summer, about vacations and recreation and travel. We talked about the present moment, lived as if there was no tomorrow.

Shepelev admitted that the entire time of Friske’s illness was stressful for her relatives; they had a huge responsibility. All the time I had to make decisions that influenced Zhanna’s life, putting her fate and future on the line. In particular, Dmitry said that he was always looking for ways to treat his wife. The artist’s husband corresponded, traveled around the world, met with the best doctors in the world, and consulted with professionals in order to save his loved one. There were people who raised the issue that the Friske family chose a clinic for Zhanna in America and not in Russia. But not everyone understands that the choice was not between two countries, but between faith in something or someone.

But the hospital in America was not the only institution where treatment took place. There were several medical institutions, and they were located in different countries.

Western clinics helped in many ways to stop the development of the disease and its impact on the woman’s life, but they failed to cure Friske. The story of Zhanna Friske and the last photographs before her death came as a shock to the public.

When Zhanna was not receiving treatment, she was able to spend time with her family. Shepelev shared the news with the artist’s fans that their family was having a great time, swimming, enjoying delicious food walking together. The fact that the couple and their son could simply hold hands was a huge victory and a step forward, not back.

Shepelev about the death of his wife

After Zhanna’s death, Dmitry decided to write a message of gratitude to Friske’s fans and those who care. The support of strangers was palpable all the time. He admitted to the men that for them happiness was that feeling that loved silence. And after Friske’s death, the woman remains pure and the most unforgettable happiness that was in his life.

Dmitry thanked everyone who helped the Friske family raise money for treatment, donated money, prayed for the singer’s health, and wished her strength and happiness. The man is convinced that the support played a huge role in the fact that Zhanna managed to live for two years from the moment of diagnosis, which the doctors could not believe. Naturally, two years is a long time for terrible disease, at the same time so little for the people who loved Jeanne. Zhanna Friske and her last concerts and photographs before her death were remembered more by her fans.

Zhanna became a ray of light and an example real star, unspoiled by fame and money. And this happened no longer as part of the Belstishchie group, which brought Friska popularity. Of course, it is useless to deny the fact that in the group Zhanna was a bright and talented singer, loved by many. But the real Zhanna revealed herself after the release of the show “The Last Hero.”

Extreme program about survival in wild conditions with a lot of trials, Friske revealed a different side to her fans and fans of the show. People did not think that behind the stage image of the “brilliant” one was hiding a strong and bright character and willpower. This is how people around her remembered her. Finding out that Friska had passed away was hard not only for fans of her work, but for everyone who saw a real and positive person. Everyone was concerned.

It's hard to imagine what the woman had to go through when she finally met true love, for 38 years I have learned the happiness of motherhood. Everyone tried to help raise money for the treatment of the star.

Channel One decided to organize a marathon, a charity event, and managed to raise 67 million rubles. The amount was enough for Zhanna’s treatment in New York.

The remaining money was used to help sick children from low-income families. Dmitry and Zhanna created their own charitable foundation, his work continues in our time.

Dmitry said that he was not going to close the fund and would develop it for the sake of people in need of help and salvation. At the end of the marathon from “First”, Zhanna also addressed the people, thanking the people who showed mercy. “Calm. Hope,” the artist wrote. Zhanna Friske, her last words and photographs before her death will forever remain in people's memory.

Jeanne's last love

Friska's popularity came after the success of the group "Brilliant", which appeared towards the end of the 90s. The press did not miss the opportunity to write articles and hot news about the personal lives of the members of the girl group. While many people wrote that girls look for boyfriends based on the size of their wallet, Zhanna was singled out as a woman who chooses boyfriends based on their appearance.

The tabloids wrote about Friske's romances with Kakha Kaladze, a famous hockey player, desirable and eligible bachelor Alexander Ovechkin, as well as Vitaly Novikov. News about new fans and the woman’s likings did not leave the front pages of publications.

But the news was not the most pleasant. Almost every romance ended in separation and quarrels. Zhanna's fans were waiting for the news that the artist was getting married and was going to become a mother. We had to wait until 2011 for such news. The year became a turning point for Friske; Zhanna met her betrothed Dmitry Shepelev.

Zhanna, in her own words, did not lose hope of meeting the man destined for her by fate. At concerts, Friske told her stage colleagues that she sincerely believed in the existence of the prince. Not all people are lucky enough to meet their destiny in their youth.

Jeanne’s parents were lucky enough to meet each other in their youth and their marriage became an example for the artist, although her father did not have the simplest character, as the woman joked. Zhanna had to make a lot of mistakes and go through various difficult moments in her personal life before meeting true love. Zhanna Friske remains in the memory of millions as an attractive and smiling woman, despite the last photographs before her death that amazed fans and admirers.

Dmitry had a hard time, journalists asked annoying stupid questions: “How did Dmitry, young and successful, decide to choose a woman who is eight years older than him.” Shepelev advised “well-wishers” to mind their own business and keep their advice to themselves. For Dmitry, Zhanna became the only one. The man refused to believe in the age difference, only in real feelings.

Motherhood

Zhanna's fans were endlessly happy to learn that the woman had finally become a mother. At the age of 38, she gave birth to a boy, who was named Plato. The artist was about to leave her singing career and devote all her time and energy to her family. Unfortunately, everything did not work out the way Friska wanted.

After giving birth, Zhanna’s health worsened, but the singer blamed her weakness on fatigue, a busy schedule, and postpartum syndrome. Only later did it become clear that the cause was a terrible disease.

Shepelev, during Zhanna’s treatment, told reporters about how strong his wife turned out to be. The TV presenter admitted that he had never met such women, and it is difficult to find such strength and character among men. At a time when the artist should have been worried and in despair, accepting the support of loved ones, Zhanna was completely calm and with this calmness she helped her family and friends, her loved one. Shepelev called his wife a woman of harmony. Although he is sure that deep down Friska had a hard time mentally. It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that she has no future and won’t be able to be with her son as he grows up.

Her old friend, journalist Otar Kushanashvili, also wrote about the strength of this bright woman. The man was convinced that in a situation in which there was no longer any point in fighting death, life could only be maintained through willpower, love of life and a thirst to be close to loved ones. When Otar saw the son of Dmitry and Zhanna, he had no questions left. Everything became clear where the woman got the strength and courage to resist the terrible disease.

Much to the regret of many, in order to live even longer or be miraculously healed even by a sensitive and loving woman, as Jeanne was not enough. Human strength and energy are not limitless. Zhanna was able to live longer than anyone could have imagined, and this is already a huge victory, happiness for the Friske family, her son, who managed to feel maternal love and care. About how bright and strong woman there was Zhanna Friske, everyone remembers, not taking into account the illness and the last photographs before the death of the magnificent singer.
