Who was the first wife of Hvorostovsky
His first love baritone met at the Krasnoyarsk Opera House, where he worked after graduation. Ballerina Svetlana, a blonde with a chiseled figure, won the young singer. Colleagues hinted that she was a walking woman, but Dmitry, in love, did not care. He was not embarrassed even by the fact that Svetlana was divorced, but she continued to live in the same apartment with her child and her first husband.
Hvorostovsky cherished Svetlana, asked flowers, and two years later the couple got married. Dmitry even agreed to adopt Svetlana's daughter - Masha. None of the friends and colleagues of the singer approved this marriage. Soon the first wife showed her true nature: Dmitry found her in bed with her friend. Emotional singer attacked the traitor and her lover, not sparing both.
Despite the betrayal, the couple reconciled. They say that after Khvorostovsky beat his wife, she could not conceive for a long time. Apparently in London, she made the procedure of artificial insemination and in 1996 she gave birth to two twins - Alexander and Daniel.
Dmitry Hvorostovsky and wife Florence
After moving to London, the singer began to actively build a career, and his wife Svetlana was sitting with her children. But in his heart, Dmitry could not forgive her betrayal: his male pride suffered a complete collapse! This pain Khvorostovsky began to "treat" alcohol, which was badly reflected in his voice and career, and soon the singer received an ulcer.
When the twins were three years old, Dmitry spun an affair with singer and actress Florance. He met her at the Geneva Theater, where he played the part ... Don Juan. According to the script, Dmitry and Florence were passionately kissed on the stage, and this passion passed from the theatrical stage to life. The burning brunette did not care that the singer was married and had small children, she persistently sought his love. And the baritone could not resist. Later he confesses to the press that it was Florence who helped him cope with the internal crisis and alcoholism. She became his "life jacket".
Divorce with Svetlana was very difficult. Offended woman decided to take away all the property from the singer. As a result, she beat up about 200 thousand pounds sterling a year for the maintenance of herself and her children. And 10 years after the divorce, this amount has almost doubled! Now Dmitry is doomed to pay the first wife until she is officially unmarried, so that she and his children from the first marriage did not experience any financial difficulties.
As the second wife managed to keep Hvorostovsky
The second wife of the baritone immediately showed what a temperamental Italian woman was ready for the sake of her beloved man. She learned Russian, read Dostoevsky and Chekhov, learned to cook her favorite Russian dishes of her husband. She said that she was ready to devote herself to home and family, so that beloved Dima was always satisfied and satisfied with home life.
In 2003, his wife Florence gave birth to the son of Maxim's son, and in 2007 the daughter of Nina. This time, Khvorostovsky thoroughly enjoyed his fatherhood. All the same, the unlucky Svetlana could not give him what Florance gave, namely, care, loyalty and reliable rear. In the photo of that period, the singer looked, probably, the happiest man in the world. For 15 years of living together, Florence became his muse, mistress, wife and best friend.
How many children does Hvorostovsky have and what do they do?
All four singer's native siblings live in London, they maintain friendly relations among themselves. Since the divorce with his first wife was scandalous and painful, Hvorostovsky rarely sees the twins from their first marriage. They still live in the British capital with Svetlana and occasionally attend rehearsals of the singer. But the ex-wife does not allow children to attend concerts, arguing that they "have not yet grown". In an interview, the singer avoids the topic of communication with children from the first marriage, calling it very painful.
But his wife Florence and the children of the singer are in full support of him. They not only attend concerts and rehearsals, but often accompany Dmitri on tour. The singer is proud that Maxim and Nina already speak three languages! He tries to raise children in love and does not even raise their voices. As the singer admitted in one of the interviews, he now aspires to get home as soon as possible, so that the whole family is together. Next to children, an expressive and irritable man with a complex character becomes tender and sentimental. And once Dmitry even began to cry, hearing how his daughter Ninochka sings. The singer calls his children very talented and artistic. Who knows, maybe they will follow in the footsteps of a famous father!
In the interview, Khvorostovsky always speaks with love of all the children, without singling out any of them. "I have four children, for them I am ready for anything. Whatever difficulties arise with your child, children are the most beautiful and tender that is in life, "said Dmitry in an interview.
How did children and wife react to Hvorostovsky's disease?
After learning a terrible diagnosis, the baritone immediately began a course of treatment. In the hospital he is supported by Florence, Maxim and Ninochka. The singer does not observe strict bed rest, so he tries to walk more with his family in the open air. By the way, on June 25, Hvorostovsky first brought his family to his native Krasnoyarsk. Apparently, knowing about his illness, he decided to make such a symbolic trip to tell first-hand his family about his small motherland and about the conditions under which he was getting on his feet.
The singer is very optimistic, moreover, on 5 July Khvorostovsky spoke at the Russian Embassy in the UK, which pleased the singer's fans. And after the concert, a reception was held in honor of Dmitry. We hope that the support of a loving wife and children will help Dmitry Hvorostovsky overcome the disease, and in the fall he will return to a busy tour life!
