Since childhood, Agalarov has become accustomed to luxurious and beautiful life, no wonder that Emin Agalarov and his mistresses were not from ordinary families. So Leyla Aliyeva, the heiress of the leader of Azerbaijan, became his companion. Meeting with future wife took place at ski resort in Switzerland. Trembling feelings immediately arose between the future spouses, which quickly grew into serious relationship. Despite the fact that Leila’s dad did not approve of his daughter’s choice, the girl continued to meet with Emin and soon the couple announced their imminent marriage.

In 2006 Emin Agalarov and Leila officially got married. Considering the conditions of both spouses, it is not difficult to guess what scale it was. In two years family life Leila gave her husband two twin sons: Ali and Mikaila. Leila lived with her sons in London, and spent more and more time in Moscow. It was then that rumors began to appear about an upcoming divorce, which took place.

Ex-wife of Emin Agalarov with his children and now lives in London. As the singer himself admitted, they failed to create a real strong family. But despite failed marriage, Leila and Emin remained good friends and do everything so that their children grow up happy, because personal life of Emin Agalarov– these are his sons, as the artist himself assures.

Today the singer and businessman is the most eligible bachelor and many are interested Emin Agalarov and his mistresses. It’s not strange, but after the divorce the singer for a long time was alone and hid his personal life in every possible way. But recently, Agalarov came out with new lover, former model Alena Gavrilova. It is not known how long this relationship will last and what it will lead to, but the couple no longer hides their tender feelings for each other. See above the photo of Emin Agalarov and Alena Gavrilova.

The famous singer invited HELLO! to his home in New York to talk about American tours, ambitious projects and the fact that love has appeared in his life again.

Emin Agalarov prepared for recent concerts in the USA with particular excitement. Firstly, because success in a country where show business has reached unprecedented heights is worth a lot, and secondly, it is also nostalgia for his youth, which passed in the suburbs of New York - New Jersey. It was here that Emin came to study in 1994, here he took his first steps in business and music - once in this area of ​​the Big Apple, Emin’s first performance in front of the public took place as part of Open Mic Night. Later he bought a house here - next door to his mother Irina and sister Sheila.

Emin, your American tour ended at the end of May. How many cities have you visited?

Five cities, six concerts, and in between there were a lot of interesting things: rehearsals with guest musicians, interviews for American media - life was very busy.

Did you perform only English-language songs or Russian ones too? What was the audience like at these concerts?

The audience was very diverse, but mostly American. My tour was initiated by US public television, PBS, after the broadcast of my concert. And this TV channel is like the First in Russia: it is in every home. Then they chose the cities where there was the greatest reaction to the broadcast. This is amazing because I became the first Russian-speaking artist of Azerbaijani origin whose concert was shown on PBS. Due to the busy schedule of preparations for the Zhara festival and busyness with business projects, some cities had to be abandoned. They gave two whole concerts in Miami, because tickets for the first were sold out instantly. New York and Hartford were also sold out. The sold-out show in Chicago was an absolute shock for me, because I had never been there and could not even imagine that there would be so many of my listeners in this city. It so happened that most the audience was made up of Americans, a little older than my audience here in Russia, because I sang classics after all. In Hartford, I was joined by world-famous guitarist Nile Rodgers, and in New York and Los Angeles by the legendary David Foster. Of course, out of 20 songs I sang only three in Russian and the entire performance was in English.

At the concert in New York, Emin was joined by famous musicians - Grammy Award winners David Foster, Nile Rodgers and Chris Botti
Foster accompanied Emin on the piano in the songs Still, Woman, “Forget You” and others. Botti took the stage to perform the trumpet part in Joe Cocker's legendary song You Are So Beautiful. And Rogers appeared with his guitar in the most dance part of the show, which included new song Emina Good Love

How did it happen that your concert was shown on American television?

They have a practice of showing concerts of foreign performers recorded in special places. For example, Yanni at the Acropolis. This is done to discover new names for the American audience. At one time, Andrea Bocelli became known in the USA. And so I was offered to record a concert on Palace Square in St. Petersburg, and for higher rating invite David Foster. He and I happen to have a mutual acquaintance, co-owner of the Nobu restaurant Meir Teper: Foster goes to his restaurant in Los Angeles. And as they were talking, Foster asked: “There’s a guy who’s a musician who wants me to take part in his concert, what can you say about him?” And Mair replied: “Agree to everything this guy offers you!” Thanks to Foster's participation, the repertoire of classic English pop songs and the fact that the concert took place in historical place, the ratings turned out to be very high. The channel was pleased. I think that friendship with these people will develop into soon into something broader. Next year, as part of the Zhara festival, I plan to hold an international day, to which I will bring artists from all over the world, and we will be able to show their performance on American television. This is my dream, which I hope will come true.

Ambitious plans!

As always, we play big.

In New Jersey, were you able to see your mother and sister? They live there after all.

Yes, Mom and Sheila live next door. I bought this house when Leila ( ex-wife Emina, Leyla Aliyeva. - Ed.) was pregnant. We went to give birth in the USA, and according to Azerbaijani traditions, it is customary for children to be brought to their father’s house after birth. Ali and Mikail spent the first months of their lives here, then I lived here alone when I came to America.



This house's interior is similar to your Moscow apartment. You apparently love spacious, sun-filled rooms. And the main thing is to have somewhere to put musical instruments.

This is a must! In every house or apartment where I live, I try to put some kind of keyboard instrument, so that when I’m in the mood, I can compose music. For example, the songs “On the Edge”, “Still” and many others were written in a Moscow apartment.

With the release of an album, a musician’s repertoire is updated, but are there songs that you perform at every concert?

This is definitely the song "Still". She is my first big hit, written back in 2005. "Still" gave the title to the album that was released a year later. It was simply unforgettable when, during the last tour in New York and Los Angeles, David Foster himself accompanied me on this song. He wrote great amount hits - he has 16 Grammys!

Since we are talking about America, I would like to remember the 2013 song “In Another Life”. Starred in the video for it current president USA Donald Trump. How did this happen?

We held the Miss Universe competition at Crocus City Hall, and, as you know, Donald Trump is the owner of the competition. During preparation, we became friends with him. And at some point I thought that it would be stupid to have close by in Moscow legendary person, 90 most beautiful girls and not use it to make a video. I pitched the idea to Mr. Trump and the only thing he said was, “How long will it take?” I replied that no more than 15 minutes, and we shook hands. The shooting was scheduled for 8 am. By that time, the actors and I had already rehearsed the scene. Trump came and asked, “What should I do?” “It’s simple, Mr. Trump, you have to fire me.” He said: "Okay. I can do this." He sat down at the table and fired me in one take. But now there is a story that the 45th President of the United States starred in my video.

Can you describe him, what kind of person he is?

I can absolutely say that he is very talented and purposeful and knows how to combine entertainment with business like no one else. As we all see, this brings Trump good results, and I learned several lessons from communicating with him.

It's true what you wanted with common effort build Trump Tower in Moscow?

We had this idea. The Crocus City project has 14 skyscrapers, which we plan to build in the near future. One of the towers will be called Agalarov Tower, and we thought it would be symbolic to name the neighboring one Trump Tower. You will get two real estate icons - Russia and America, two prominent representatives development. Agalarov Tower will be built in any case, but whether Trump’s tower will be nearby, we’ll see when he runs out presidential term. Now Donald has completely different concerns.

Let's get back to your clips. Just recently you presented a new one - for the song "Good Love". And your girlfriend Alena Gavrilova starred in it. Why did you suddenly decide to declare your new love in this way?

Alena and I have been together for several years, and I have already offered her several times to star in my video, but she always refused, saying: “I will only agree to a very special song.” When I played “Good Love” for her, Alena said that this is my best English-language song - my songs in English are closer to her than in Russian. I immediately took her at her word: “Since you’re the best, you promised to star in the video!” In general, she had nowhere to go, and you saw the result - Alena turned out to be very harmonious in her role.

How did you meet Alena?

Accidentally. He came over and introduced himself.

So you were the initiator?

Yes, because I liked her very much. We knew nothing about each other - neither who I was nor who she was. But after some time it turned out that Alena liked my song “Miss America”; it was on her playlist. She shared this track on her Facebook page, not even knowing that I live in Moscow. When Alena showed me that 2012 recording, I joked: “See, you fell in love with me even before you met me!”

In several interviews you said that sometimes you look at lovers and don’t understand what they see in each other. What did you find in Alena?

In short, I definitely found happiness in her. Alena is a friend, ally, reliable life partner. She understands me. I am sure that Alena will not let you down or betray her. She is the reliable support that every man is looking for. We feel good together.

Did Alena get along with your sons?

It is still too early to discuss this topic.

Ali and Mikail are already eight years old, and now even from photographs on Instagram it is clear that they are different in character. This is true?

Absolutely different! Ali is more artistic, he already runs his own YouTube channel and posts some videos. He always asks how many followers he has. And Mika is more organized - probably a future mathematician or businessman. He easily performs even complex mathematical calculations in his head. Sometimes Mika comes to Moscow without Ali, spends time with me at work, and is interested in how things work.

Are you raising your sons the same way your father once raised you?

I am trying to apply the educational principles laid down by my father, but so far things are not working out very well, because we live in different time and in different circumstances. I grew up in the Soviet Union, in fairly modest conditions. And my children live in modern times and other incomes. But I want to instill in them the same thing that my parents instilled in me—the desire to strive for something. This, you agree, not an easy task, because when children have everything, they don’t really want to strive for anything. But I hope that I can come to a golden mean - give them motivation without limiting them too much.

Now you are in a close relationship with your father, he is your main adviser. Was it always like this or did this closeness come with age?

Of course, I had a period of protest. But as soon as I began to work with my father, I was convinced time after time that, no matter how inapplicable to a given specific situation No matter what his ideas or advice seemed to me, in the long run he turned out to be right in 99 percent of cases. This was especially true for business. So now I listen to his every word, because my father’s experience, his knowledge, his success speak for themselves. I am grateful to my parents for the life they gave me, for their upbringing, for the opportunities. And in the case of the father - also for absolutely complete freedom in work, the right to make decisions, sometimes wrong, but never be criticized. On the contrary, the father always says: “You were wrong, but you gained experience and next time you won’t make a mistake.”

“In every house or apartment where I live, I try to put some kind of keyboard instrument, so that when I’m in the mood, I can compose music,” says Emin

Is there any parenting advice you could pass on to your children?

Probably the most important thing is to realize your dreams and set impossible tasks. I apply this advice every day.

Organize a festival in your hometown, For example?

Yes. I am very happy that this year we are holding the second music festival in Baku, right on the shores of the Caspian Sea. We will have more than 80 of the most famous artists, four days of broadcast on Channel One. "Heat" is a large-scale project into which we are putting all our efforts.

You are currently filming a new comedy by Marius Weisberg. What kind of picture is this?

I am not only acting, but also producing this film. It's called "Night Shift". I have known Marius for 20 years, we are friends, and at some point he invited me to participate in his project. At first I was skeptical about his offer to play one of the roles, but I liked the concept, I believed in it, and Marius convinced me that the hero would be up to my standards. So I took a risk.

And how did you feel about filming?

Tomorrow is my last day, but now I have the feeling that everything worked out.

On stage and in business, you are used to being in charge. And the acting profession is a very dependent one. On film set main director. Was it easy for you to get used to this?

I know how to trust people. In the case of filming, I feel that the director knows his work, has a good idea of ​​the end result, which means there is no reason to worry. Marius did not offer me anything that would go against my life position, so I boldly follow him to his directorial victory and, I dare to hope, my acting one.

Do you have many people whom you can trust as much as Marius?

No. Marius is not just a director, he was included in the top ten most successful directors according to Russian Forbes this year. On the list next to him are Fyodor Bondarchuk, Timur Bekmambetov, and this rating came out before I decided to produce New film Marius and play in it. That is, this once again confirms, perhaps, that in some ways I was right. Although in creativity it happens that not every next single by an artist is a hit and not every next movie by a director is a hit. But still, I feel like I'm in sync with the right character.

As a business person, are you not afraid of risk?

Those who don't take risks don't drink champagne. Business is always a risk, creativity even more so.

You manage to combine everything - business, music, and now cinema. This is very different areas. How do you manage to belong everywhere?

It seems to me that everything works differently here: if you have great desire, if you are ready to achieve results, delve into every detail, then the chances are very high. If I had to launch a ship into space, then, believe me, I would figure it all out, and I would succeed. It's only a matter of time.

On July 14, 38-year-old Emin Agalarov said goodbye to single life: He married his 30-year-old lover Alena Gavrilova. What is known about the girl who managed to win the heart of a talented businessman?
