Tatyana from the yin yang group. Soloists of "Yin-Yang" explained why they gave their daughter a Jewish name

More recently, young people have shared with OK! another good news: their daughter Mirra was born. And today, the baby, who has just turned a month old, is taking part in a photo shoot.

Artyom and Tatiana met in 2007 at the Star Factory 7. Artyom immediately attracted Tanya's attention with his resemblance with David Beckham. “The fact is that as a child I adored this football player. When I saw Artyom, I caught the resemblance, - Tanya recalls. - Then he won me over with courtesy - he turned out to be a very well-mannered young man. I remember I was dragging myself to the hotel with a huge suitcase, and then I met Artyom. He gallantly helped me carry my suitcase to my room. For me it was something out of the ordinary. But then I had a boyfriend and I drove away thoughts of a new relationship.

After some time, everything changed and Tanya and Artyom realized that they loved each other. However, they preferred not to advertise their relationship, and they were in no hurry to confirm other people's guesses. It is not surprising that Tanya's pregnancy was hidden to the last. “The fact is that for some reason I had a lot of prejudices about Tanya's pregnancy,” says Artyom. - I was very worried, therefore, a very limited circle of people knew that we would have a child - only our parents and my close friend. The rest learned in fact when they saw Tanya already with a stomach. ( Smiling.) By the way, one of my very close friends who lives in another country sent me a screenshot of the page of some magazine, where Tanya already has a big belly, and wrote: “When should I have found out?” Thank God, I have friends who understand, they know that I'm with a bells and whistles. ( Laughs.)

That's for sure. To hide the pregnancy to the last and at the same time show a child who is barely a month old - few parents are ready to take such a step.

Artyom: The fact is that this is more about Tanya's part. After the birth of Mirra, she had some kind of superstition, and I, on the contrary, only during pregnancy.

Tanya: To be honest, I was afraid of all this and was against it: my daughter is too small. But Artyom convinced me. ( Smiling.)

A .: I am a supporter of the fact that joy should be shared. In addition, such beauty must be carried to the masses. ( Laughs.)

Interestingly, did you buy things for the baby in advance, or are you also superstitious in this regard?

T .: I wanted to start buying everything as soon as possible. But Artyom offered to be puzzled by this after the birth. I tried to explain how much will be needed. ( Turning to Artyom.) In the end, I think you did not regret that we bought everything in advance?

A .: Yes, at the end of pregnancy, I still gave up and we began to buy some things - furniture, strollers ... But it was a scandal. Tanya, getting into a girl's clothing store, began to buy everything in a row.

Did you know you were having a girl?

T .: Yes, but I didn’t care who we would have - a boy or a girl.

A .: I also didn’t have such a thing that I really wanted a kid. At the twelfth week, we were already told the sex of the child, so we got used to the idea early on that we would have a daughter.

Which one of you came up with this? unusual name?

T .: Artyom came up with this for us. To be honest, I would have chosen more ... Although I also like this name, but he is so stubborn, and that's it!

A .: Yes, I unconditionally relinquished the right to choose a name for my daughter. It was very important for me that her name was not associated with anyone. I opened the list of Jewish names and chose the one I liked the most. On the day when we found out that there would be a girl, I came and said: "The daughter will be called Mirra." Tanya at first took it with hostility.

Artyom, why a Jewish name?

A: She has Jewish roots. Everything is confusing, but they are there. For some reason, it always seemed to me that my daughter should have a Jewish name.

Was it a planned pregnancy?

T .: For us, this was not a surprise, because we got married and, of course, thought about the child. True, we did not think that it would happen so quickly. ( Smiling.)

A .: We didn’t “maniac”, we didn’t count the days, we worked on this process naturally.

Does Mirra let you sleep at night?

T .: We have already experienced sleepless nights, but Artyom helps me a lot. He is a wonderful father. He says: "Sleep, I'll stay with the baby myself today."

A .: While we are afraid to hire a nanny. I can't imagine how such a small child can be trusted with a stranger. My grandmother, my mother, came for a couple of weeks, but we manage on our own.

Looking at the peacefully sleeping Mirra, you can’t say that you have sleepless nights with her.

A .: It is rather necessary to look at us, during the day the child sleeps for a sweet soul, but at night ... ( Smiling.)

Is he awake at night?

A .: Like all small children, sometimes the stomach hurts, sometimes it's naughty.

T .: Yes, at night she begins to be very active.

Artyom, after giving birth, a woman immediately realizes that she has become a mother, and the father needs to get used to this thought. Have you already awakened paternal instinct?

A: I don't have it yet.

That is, while you have the feeling that you are holding someone else's girl in your arms?

A .: Not that someone else's ... When her consciousness starts to turn on and a response appears, then, probably, everything will change. At this age, children either sleep, or scream, or want to eat. It seems to me that when she tells me something, then yes, this instinct will probably wake up right away.

Tanya, was it not scary to take the baby in your arms for the first time?

T: It was very scary. I did not know how to approach her, I had a real panic. I was really afraid to give birth. Mom reassured me: “Everyone gave birth, and you will give birth, why are you tormenting yourself?” It seems to me that with this fear I delayed the moment of childbirth, and Mirra was born later than the appointed time.

When did you stop performing?

A .: Tanya toured until the eighth month, we sewed special costumes for her, and, to tell the truth, not everyone even saw that she was pregnant.

Artyom, didn’t you insist that your spouse still go on maternity leave?

A .: If I wanted such a wife for myself, I would not marry a singer. ( Smiling.) In addition, she had special conditions: private car, business class flights, private hotel suite. The only thing is, when we flew to a concert in Tolyatti, I already understood that it was enough to perform. But this performance was approved in advance, and it was impossible to refuse it. But thank God, everything went well.

Tanya, didn’t you yourself want to take a break from work and enjoy your condition?

T: I wanted to. It was hard to work with the stomach on stage. Physically hard. I was out of breath. And how worried! I thought I was going to give birth. ( Laughs.) At some point, I realized that it was hard for me not so much to fly as to stand on stage. At that concert in Tolyatti, they even brought me a chair to the stage.

Mirra didn't start pushing even harder when you got on stage?

T: Quite the opposite. But it seems to me that if I went on a full-fledged maternity leave, I would probably go crazy. ( Laughs.)

Artyom, didn’t Tanya act up during pregnancy?

A .: Tanya is just a rather capricious person. She's a singer after all. ( Smiling.)

That is, you are already accustomed to the whims?

A .: For me it was not a shock. Tanya had only some taste perversions. She sniffed soap all the time and was ready to eat it.

T: Laundry soap. I thought it smelled so good.

Didn't they ask for strawberries in the middle of the night?

A .: Only mint gum. I bought it in packs, but when Mirra was born, everything went away.

Artyom, were you present at the birth?

A .: I was present at the fights. Tanya was put in the ward, and I left at six o'clock in the evening. Then she called me and said that everything was starting. I arrived, sat with her and went out to the lobby so as not to see the process. So I supported Tanya at a distance.

Tanya, didn’t you want your husband to be there and, for example, cut the umbilical cord?

T .: No, I myself told him: “Come out, please.” ( Smiling.) In general, this is such a process during which you want no one to be around.

Artyom, did you help Tanya bathe her daughter for the first time?

T .: It seems to me that it is the father who should bathe the daughter. My dad also bathed me. Mirra really likes this process. Probably, when she finds herself in warm water, it seems to her that she again falls into that environment in her tummy. So swimming is not a problem for us.

Have you thought about how you will raise her?

A .: So far we do not know what character she will have, so it is difficult to choose the line of education now.

T .: We discussed this even before pregnancy and agreed that it would be necessary to give the child to music school. This will come in handy in the future.

A .: I don’t know a single adult who, as a child, went to a music school, even if under duress, and would not thank his parents later. I hated music school. What piano? I dreamed of being a football player! But right now I understand that my mother was softer with me than it should be.

Were you, Tanya, forced to study music?

T: Yes. I went to the opera studio until I was six years old. I hated solfeggio and, as soon as I went to first grade, I quit these classes. And only after the eleventh grade I entered the vocal department. I had such a big break. I was shy and reserved, sang quietly at home and didn't even perform at school activities. And now I also tell my mother that I should have been forced to study.

A.: There are children who love to play music, but, as a rule, this is an exception. The main thing is to love the child and try to give him what he needs. The girl can be pampered. It's with the guy, probably, you need to be stricter.

Tanya, what do you think?

T.: The girl needs to be told how beautiful she is so that the complexes do not develop.

Were you told that as a child?

T.: My mother generally loves the truth-womb, and my father protects me all the time. But my mom said I was pretty. ( Smiling.)

Style: Valeria Balyuk. Makeup: Elena Shirokaya/Mary Mary Kay. Hairstyles: Sargis Hayrapetyan/LaimaLux Group

Which one of you is more chatty?

Artem: In domestic terms - me. Not in everyday life - probably me too.

Tatiana: And I'm an introvert. I love being silent and being alone.

A.: You can't tell by the way you talk to your girlfriends.

T.: I am talkative with those who enter my circle.

Do you have different social circles?

A.: Not really, it’s just that Tanya’s circle is more girlish, and I don’t get into their conversations.

The third member of your Yin-Yang group, Sergey Ashikhmin, which of you is more of a friend?

A.: Hard to tell. On the one hand, he is a boy, on the other hand, Tanya even had an affair with him at the Star Factory ...

T.: Very short term. Now Serezha has a girlfriend, we all communicate very well.

How do you explain Sergey's absence from our photo shoots and interviews?

A.: Serega has his own ERQUE clothing store, and he flew to another country on his business.

Maybe he felt like a third wheel?

T.: Don't think. Artyom and I never advertised our personal relationship at work. People guessed that we were dating, but we did not confirm this. Perhaps now for the first time we admit that we are together.

IN creative team Is it possible to separate work and personal life?

A.: We made a decision that our relationship should not affect performances. Whatever happens between us at breakfast or lunch, the viewer has nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, everything happened with us: Tanya and I quarreled, and even on long time broke up, but continued to work. Earlier in the group, there was another member with whom I always had a strained relationship.

Do you mean Yulia Parshuta?

A.: Yes. And yet, we went on stage, hugged, performed. Backstage they parted ways. Now, thank God, our team is much more organic, we even began to relax together. I'm with Tanya and Seryoga with my girlfriend.

This begs the question: can't Seryoga's girlfriend be taken into the group?

T.: She is very beautiful, but not a public person at all and works in a different field.

When you just started dating each other, were you not afraid that it would not work out to separate work and personal, and your relationship would simply destroy the team?

A.: In general, it is wrong to work together. It is bad for both sides of life. At that time, the leadership of the group also told us that relations within the team were not needed, that it would only get worse. I can’t say that some incredible obstacles were placed on us, and we went against the grain, but they were not satisfied with our romance.

T.: There were even people who believed that I needed some kind of oligarch, and not a young boy. But we didn't listen to anyone. Yes, and we were not set conditions - they say, either you leave, or the group breaks up. We were just advised.

A.: Then we started working directly with Konstantin Meladze, and he is only interested in the implementation of creative ideas. Of course, when we quarreled and parted, he called, asked how we were doing.

Would you say that you were close friends at first?

A.: Yes, at the "Star Factory - 7". The fact is that I, Tanya and Nastya Prikhodko, who then won the TV project, came from Ukraine. Castings took place in Kyiv, where we all rallied. I remember buying three cheeseburgers and not sharing them with anyone. ( They laugh.)

T.: Because, of course, in Russia everyone looked down on us, and we were like three chickens, we stuck together. Then they became friends.

Didn't it seem to you that you shouldn't spoil friendship with personal relationships?

A.: I do not fully believe in the sincerity of friendship between a man and a woman. If they are not connected by work, but they communicate, it means that one likes the other. More often than not, I've seen friendships happen after the relationship. When people are friends, and then they start dating, here, as a rule, the indulgence of one of the parties plays an important role: either she allows herself to be loved, or he.

What is your case?

A.: Our friendship was short-lived, we immediately realized that we liked each other. We all entered the "Factory" in a relationship. Tanya had a young man, I had a girlfriend. But "Factory" is like a pioneer camp, where everyone is young, cheerful, but forced to live a closed life separate from the whole world. I started courting Tanya, and soon we started dating.

In such a closed space as the "Factory", were there opportunities to hit on someone?

T.: We didn't have a candy-bouquet period, and that's unusual. This has never happened to me - I'm used to the fact that they always looked after me, called me, wrote SMS, but there were no conditions for this.

A.: So I went straight to the girl's bedroom.

T.: Yes of course!

A.: But there were ten more girls besides you, I came to look around.

T.: That's true, the boys visited us, did massages. Artyom also gave me a very cool CD player, with which I then did not part with the whole tour.

A.: Yes, although we had rather limited opportunities at the Star Factory. The authors of the project then came up with the idea that we ourselves would earn money for our living with concerts. Therefore, at first we even had nothing to eat.

That is, with the player you gave it chic?

A.: Yes. I also generously treated everyone to dumplings and Hawaiian mixes.

When did you, Tatyana, manage to have an affair with Sergei Ashikhmin?

A.: Tanya and I had a short period of cooling, at that moment I ceased to be interested in anything other than performances and creativity. Tell me, Tanya, how did it work out with Seryoga?

T.: Yes, you can’t call it a romance - we sympathized with each other and just kissed once.

A.: In this sense, the "Factory" really looked like a camp. As for Tanya, already on final stages casting, I realized that I like her. I remember that Kostya Meladze gave us songs, I heard Tanya perform “I did everything myself”, and I was fascinated. For some reason, I immediately thought that I want to be with this person. But Tanya turned out to be a windy young lady. With Seryoga, right in the middle of the "Factory"! ( laughing.)

T.: What are you talking about? Where in the middle of the "Factory" something? Everyone will write it!

You have the opportunity to object, Tatyana.

A.: And she has nothing to complain about.

T.: Didn't you have an affair?

A.: Did not have! My lips were untouched.

What fascinated you Artyom? Of course, except for the player and dumplings with Hawaiian mixtures.

T.: First appearance — he immediately liked me. The fact is that as a child I adored David Beckham. When I saw Artyom, I caught a resemblance to my favorite football player. Then he won me over with courtesy. A very educated young man. I remember I was dragging myself to the hotel with a huge suitcase and then I met Artyom. He gallantly helped me carry my suitcase to my room. For me it was something out of the ordinary. But then I had a boyfriend, I drove away thoughts of a new relationship. Only after a while everything changed, and Artyom and I realized that we love each other.

A.: We had a period of the first, interesting, but rather difficult tours. I did not know how to behave: at first, people who did not know me six months ago suddenly reacted violently to each of my appearances. And then, when we skated the tour, the same people who lifted us up a month ago forgot my name. And we, already as part of the Yin-Yang group, had to start all over again. Earn popularity. To prove to the producers that we are a workable team. All this was psychologically difficult. I’m not sure that at that moment a person from the outside could appear next to me who would understand all this. But Tanya was already nearby, to whom I could tell everything, and she understood me.

T.: Tanya, by the way, was in the same situation.

You were born in Ukraine, but in different cities. How similar were your paths?

T.: We were born in the Soviet Union. Our paths are completely different, although we later realized that everything was like in our song: “I walked along the same roads ...” I studied in Kiev, Artyom too, we walked in the same places in the city. I loved the Spice Girls, especially Victoria Adams, who later became Beckham's wife.

A.: And I adored Beckham and even played football when I was little.

T.: We were in one modeling agency from which auditions were attended.

Did you also develop differently with music?

A.: I have always been involved in music, but I understood that I needed a more “earthly” profession, so about higher music education there was no question. I graduated from the Kiev Polytechnic University, which I did not regret for a second. I received a mathematical education and met at the institute wonderful people. He was engaged in music for pleasure: he recorded tracks, made arrangements. I used to sing, driving the hostel neighbors crazy, sometimes at night, very sad songs, because, apparently, I have a lyrical nature. Neighbors came and asked: "Sing at least something more cheerful - it's dreary." As a result, the music said: since you are not looking for me, then I will find you. I accidentally found out about the recruitment for the "Factory". It was my first musical casting. Konstantin Meladze is the first person who believed in me. I was very "raw", I was worried, but Kostya managed to say such words to me, after which I realized that music is my love and my life's work.

T.: I realized this when I was in kindergarten. I sang all the time, so the teacher advised my mother to give me vocals. So I ended up in opera studio where she studied from four to seven years. After that, I had a huge break - I grew up squeezed, sang at home, did not participate in any school skits. Nobody at school knew that I sang. But my mother always supported me in this, she also suggested that I pass the exams at the Kyiv State Academy leading cadres of culture and art in the specialty " pop vocal". Classmates were shocked when they found out, they said: “Can you sing?” I went to auditions, but often dropped out in the third round. I even auditioned for the sixth season of Victor Drobysh's Star Factory, but I left at the last moment. I was sure that you need to pay money or meet someone to get there. But she went to the seventh "Factory" - for the company with her then boyfriend, he is a dancer. And suddenly they took me.

I don't believe that your personal relationships are not reflected in the composition and performance of songs.

A.: The process of writing music for me is much less romantic than you might think. It's much more mathematical. Much more I can afford not in music, but in poetry. In them I sublimate my problems, complexes, fantasies, dreams. All my poems are dedicated to one girl, who, I am sure, does not exist in the world. It is abstract, even I myself imagine it very approximately.

Tatyana, who is he talking about?

T.: Really, who is this girl? ( They laugh.) But actually I understand what he means. Not all authors dedicate poems and songs to their wives and companions. So he has a lyrical heroine.

I really want to ask: do you have similar qualities of character? Interests?

T.: We have a similar sense of humor. We love to laugh, including at ourselves - this is a valuable skill. We have the same idea of ​​decency.

A.: But the interests of Tanya and I are quite different. However, do they have to match? The main thing is that the interests of the person who is nearby are not annoying. At the very least, touched. We differ both in character warehouses and in the perception of the world, but at the same time we do not collide foreheads.

T.: Although before we often quarreled, to tantrums.

Because of what?

T.: He was rude to me, I to him.

A.: Tanyusha then, by virtue of her youth, refused to recognize my exceptional rightness in everything. ( Laughing.)

Do you have a common household?

A.: Yes, sure. We live together in Moscow.

T.: The search for joint housing united us very much. After the "Factory" we were in one large private house with other graduates of the television project - there Artyom and I began to live together. Then they changed an infinite number of apartments. As a rule, Artyom was the initiator of the move, he believed that the living space had become too small for us, and we had to look for another, more spacious one. On the contrary, I easily got used to the place, I was sorry to part with it. But I must say that we do not spend the two of us 24 hours a day. We often go on tour, and there we always settle in different rooms.

And could save the organizers.

T.:(Laughing.) But we rest from each other. I go to my parents in Sevastopol without Artyom. He was there, he knew his parents, but I go to visit them alone. Also rest from each other.

How did you meet your parents?

A.: Parents knew us long before we met directly - they also watched all the broadcasts of the Star Factory. So at the meeting it was useless to talk about yourself.

Did you go without a look?

T.: Yes, no formality. I met Artyom's mother when she came to Moscow for the final "factory" concert at the Olimpiysky sports complex. We said hello and liked each other very much. Artyom came to see me in Sevastopol, moreover, as a “surprise”. I flew there - he calls and says:
"And I'm here". And again, he showed good manners - he did not want to be imposed, he said: "I rented a hotel room." I say: “What are you? Let's go to me. Get to know your parents." Persuaded.

Artem, is it exciting to meet the girl's parents? You have to make an impression, remember the names of your parents ...

A.: I was not afraid, besides, Tanya's parents were well disposed towards me. Her mother's name is Lyudmila Gennadievna - I quickly remembered this. But dad - Alexander Yuvenalievich. That is, there was, of course, an obstacle in the form of an unusual middle name. But I also rehearsed “Hello, Alexander Yuvenalievich!” spoke without hesitation.

Interesting, do you feel like a family?

T.: Certainly.

A.: Perhaps we are already a cell of society. We buy tomatoes in the store together. And when people buy tomatoes together, I think they are a family.
