The second husband of the singer was Thomas Christiansen. Brilliant creative collaboration ended in marriage, but not for long. A year and a half later, Polina left her husband, who not only abused alcohol and drugs, but also in a drunken stupor he rioted and fought. The couple never had children, which made the divorce process easier.

Today Polina is alone again. But this does not upset her at all: now she has time and strength to think about her present and future. And the first thing Polina did, freed from the bonds of an unsuccessful marriage, was to buy her own house in the north of the USA - in the small town of Warwick on the way from New York to Canada - and equipped it.

This was "contributed" by the financial crisis, after which real estate in America fell sharply in price. And now, working in Moscow, London, Paris, Polina always strives to return to her home as soon as possible.

Having completed the renovation, the artist showed us her fabulous home.

The singer's house has three bedrooms and a huge living room with a fireplace, a kitchen, utility rooms and even a studio.

Extraordinary house

My mother persuaded me. Probably, rather, it was her dream: she had long wanted to have her own house, with a large plot of land, with a swimming pool ... But with every day of my stay in this house, I understand that from now on this is my dream too. I fall in love with him more and more!

What is so extraordinary about it?

Firstly, this is the place where it is located: a mountainous area, Fresh air, lakes with the purest water- the surroundings are incredibly beautiful! Secondly, it is very spacious: its area is four and a half thousand square feet, which is somewhere around 400 square meters.

By the way, this house was built in the 80s for a musician from the group of the famous guitarist Carlos Santana. And in the room where I now sleep was his music studio...
