Igor Vernik helped Lera become a star; he brought her to television.

Family and personal life of Lera Kudryavtseva

Such a talented TV presenter as Lera Kudryavtseva not only has a thriving career, but also a rather eventful personal life and a wonderful family.

She first married at the age of eighteen to the lead singer of the group “Tender May” Sergei Lenyuk. News, almost immediately the couple had a child, son Jean Such. So unusual name the stars were chosen in honor of the popular foreign film actor Jean-Claude Van Damme. This actor is still Lera’s idol to this day.

Unfortunately for the young wife, the marriage lasted only two years. The reason for this was the press, which described in detail Sergei’s stormy romantic passions with other girls. The disagreement with her husband Leroy was taken quite hard; at that moment there were rumors that the star was addicted to alcohol and fell into deepest depression . However, common sense prevailed in time, and the star gave up alcohol forever.

Lera's next marriage was even less successful and lasted only a year. An entrepreneur suggested marriage to her Matvey Morozov. Because of permanent job the spouses devoted too little time to each other, which is why this union was also interrupted.

In 2008, the presenter appeared in his personal life Sergey Lazarev. This union was not brought to marriage, but Sergei and Lera appeared in public together for four long years. Such a warm union lasted until 2012, after which the couple broke up, but at the same time maintaining fairly warm friendly relations.

Lera Kudryavtseva




Lera Kudryavtseva, like most Russian celebrities, decided to meet New Year at home with his family. Lera was accompanied by close friends and, of course, her favorite men - husband Igor Makarov and son Jean Lenyuk.

“My family! New Year!" - Lera signed a touching series of photographs in which she poses with her closest people.

This year, Lera Kudryavtseva presented her followers with a special gift - she showed what her adult son Jean Lenyuk looks like now. The young man celebrated his 27th birthday in April last year. He does not like publicity at all and tries to stay in the shadows as much as possible. But in honor of herself magical night this year, Jean still allowed his mother to photograph him and show him to the fans.

“My beloved man! Son! For the first time I allowed myself to be photographed! This is exclusive" - Lera Kudryavtseva boasted.

Lera became a mother very early. She was not even twenty years old. Jean's father is the presenter's ex-husband Sergei Lenyuk. Sergei was a member of the incredibly popular group “Tender May” in the past. The celebrity marriage did not last long, but they managed to maintain a normal relationship.

ABOUT young man The public did not know anything about the name Jean Lenyuk, but saw him, already an adult, only in 2018. Caring mom, a famous TV presenter, protected the personal peace of her family and suddenly decided to post a photo of her son on Instagram. Not all followers showed tact and refrained from making incorrect comments, so Lera had to apologize to the guy for turning him into a public person. Jean himself did not react to the attacks of the haters at all.

Childhood and youth

No matter how much Jean Lenyuk wanted to avoid the annoying attention of journalists, there is no escape from this, because he was born into a now famous family. Mom is TV star Lera Kudryavtseva, father is a drummer of a band that made millions go crazy. The boy was born in 1990 and received the name of his mother’s favorite action hero. After 2 years, the parents' relationship went wrong. The reasons for the divorce were, according to some sources, Sergei’s numerous novels; according to others, Kudryavtseva’s conflict with her mother-in-law.

The leader of Tender May doubted the paternity of his team member. The ex-producer accused Leroux of almost all mortal sins and said that Jean’s father is unknown. Of course, the presenter turned to a lawyer for help, whom, by the way, he recommended. However, the parties to the conflict never reached the courtroom. Lera heeded the advice to be above this and not waste time on those who lie, because

“As popularity grows, so does the number of envious people.”

There is no consensus on where and how they passed early years biography of Jean. Someone claims that Kudryavtseva’s son was raised by his grandmother almost until he came of age. Others say that the TV presenter is such a fanatical mother that she literally shook over her son, did not let anyone near him, and did not talk about him.

That’s why the guy grew up quietly and unnoticed. Lera herself confessed to the press that she called Jean several times a day, wanting to know where he was, with whom and what he was doing.

Vigilant maternal control weakened somewhat when Lenyuk left adolescence. The young man attended college at the Plekhanov Academy and received a diploma in economics from the same university. However, he did not work in the specialty that, according to rumors, Lera chose.

Career

According to Kudryavtseva, Jean could not decide for a long time in which area to apply his accumulated knowledge and show his own talents. At one time, the guy helped Oksana Zhukova, Kudryavtseva’s sister, in running her business. He was interested in cinema, computer technology and music, and was even able to persuade an unnamed “cool” foreign DJ to perform in front of the Moscow public. Lera dissuaded him from further advancement in this field, considering such an activity frivolous.

Watching her son rush about in search of a vocation, the TV presenter decided to provide patronage to her son and got him a job as a producer on the NTV channel. Later, probably Jean’s only interview was circulated on the Internet, in which the young man said that he dreamed of television.


Only he is not interested in working on camera, but in the internal kitchen, technical processes. Lenyuk’s dislike for show business manifested itself in childhood. Being at home “a chatter that you can’t stop,” Kudryavtseva shared in the “Secret to a Million” program, her son was very embarrassed and tense when asked to take a photo or appear in a party.

If Jean meets his mother at all, it will only be on the sidelines of the studios, since both are working on different projects.

Personal life

Jean did not complain about the lack of attention from his mother. Lera did not interfere in personal life son, she only tried to give good advice, and Lenyuk initiated her into his secrets.

To desire young man Kudryavtseva reacted with understanding to live separately and took upon herself the issue of providing her son with housing. True, I bought an apartment closer to my home so that I could see each other more often. Then the presenter admitted that, in addition to feelings of gratitude, Jean expressed regret that now he would lose the incentive to make his way in life on our own.


Jean introduced the girls he was friends with to his mother. But Lera didn’t like them, and maternal jealousy had nothing to do with it. It’s just that today’s girls, according to the TV star, are too relaxed and in some cases even arrogant. Is it the case of her generation, when, getting acquainted with the parents of a guy, they tried to make good impression. The names of Kudryavtseva’s son’s former passions – Ekaterina and Anastasia – were leaked to the press.

Jean Lenyuk now

The fact that Jean is no longer the only child of his mother is a well-known fact - Kudryavtseva was married to a hockey player in August 2018. But a number of media outlets congratulated Lenyuk himself on his fatherhood, while referring to the statement of Sergei’s happy grandfather. According to the former musician of “Tender May,” Jean and his common-law wife Elena. The baby was named Leo in honor of the TV presenter’s father. Unfortunately, Lenyuk Sr. did not satisfy the quite understandable desire of journalists to find out the details.


The outraged Kudryavtseva, in turn, urged people not to take seriously the information presented on the pages of the yellow press. However, in August 2018, StarHit quoted Lera’s words that the event actually took place back in May. Jean still remains silent; not a single comment has been made from the young father.

Zhan Sergeevich Lenyuk is the son of the famous TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva and drummer of the group “Tender May” Sergey Lenyuk.

Jean, who recently turned 28, is a person who avoids publicity; he rarely communicates with the press, and therefore very little is known reliably about his life. The information that appears in open access, contradictory and surrounded by a lot of speculation.

Lenyuk Jr. was born in 1990. His now star mother in those days was a young girl who, like many of her peers, adored the group “Tender May” and often followed the musical group throughout the perestroika Union.

Apparently, it was during one of these trips that a connection arose between Jean’s parents. After a while, it turned out that Lera was pregnant, and the young people got married, and on April 14, Jean was born. Two years later, Kudryavtseva and Lenyuk divorced, and the boy spent a lot of time with his paternal grandparents.

Some sources say that Lera took her son to her only after he came of age, others are ready to confirm the fact that Kudryavtseva’s mother was raising the boy. Jean himself, the only one who could shed light on the true state of affairs, does not comment on issues relating to his childhood.

The young man received his unusual name in honor of his mother’s favorite actor, Jean-Claude Van Damme. At school he was often teased because of his unusual name, and Lera even suggested that her son change it, but he refused out of pure stubbornness.


Jean in the background

Jean for a long time couldn't find myself. Under pressure from his mother, he studied at college at the Plekhanov Academy, and then graduated from the Faculty of Economics there. But even after graduating from the Academy, the young man was in search of his calling, studying music, computers, and cinema. He once made good money by bringing a famous foreign DJ. Despite the fact that his venture was successful, his mother did not approve of him too much.


This is the first photo of her son that the TV presenter posted on her Instagram.

For some time, Jean Lenyuk helped his aunt, Lera’s sister, in business. The media write that Kudryavtseva provided for him completely for a long time, even bought an apartment not far from hers in order to see her son more often. It recently became known that Jean began his career in television, becoming the producer of one of the programs on the NTV channel. The young man said that since childhood he had dreamed of such a job, although fame and a glamorous life do not attract him.


Touching photo of Lera and Jean

Jean is on excellent terms with his mother; they call each other every day and meet often. As Kudryavtseva says, she is fully aware of what is happening in her son’s life. He also gets along with his stepfather, hockey player Igor Makarov, although he does not call him “dad” - the age difference between them is not so great.

It is important to meet a person who will connect you with the right people, will lead to right place, will negotiate for you. However, Lera still does not tell how she personally managed to get on the air.

According to rumors, he helped Lera become a star, and it was he who brought her into the world of television. The artist needed a presenter for the “Party Zone” program for the TV-6 channel, and, presumably, during a dizzying affair with a future TV star, he invited the girl to the casting for his own program.


There are other rumors that her first husband, a musician of the group, helped in promoting Valeria. In any case, Kudryavtseva quickly established herself in television projects as a professional TV presenter.

Career

Lera Kudryavtseva came to the “Party Zone” audition in a rather extravagant look - with numerous Afro braids and eyebrow piercings. However, out of all the casting participants, she was chosen. As soon as Lera’s candidacy was approved and the broadcasts began, in a few programs she became no less popular than the artists for whom Kudryavtseva had worked before.

In the same year, Valeria participated in the “Star Ice” show. Together with Gwendal Peizer, she won this project. After some time, the TV presenter starred in the “Dancing with the Stars” program, this time Alexey Mazurin became her partner.

In 2009, Kudryavtseva was the host of the “Cultural Exchange” program on the TV Center channel.

At the same time, Lera participated in an advertising campaign for the World of Leather and Fur brand, which produces elite outerwear and accessories.

Later, Kudryavtseva repeatedly stated that she and the singer were friends, and that she did not plan to “pick up” Orbakaite.


In 2011, the TV presenter starred in a provocative photo shoot for the men's magazine MAXIM. Lera showed off her luxurious figure, making the magazine's audience forget that the artist's age at the time of filming was 39 years old.

In 2015, the attention of the press was attracted by Lera’s resemblance to the popular foreign star. The two women differed from each other in hair color: Kim was a burning brunette, and Lera had blonde hair. When the American woman bleached her hair in 2015, the tabloids began to joke that she was copying the style of the Russian beauty, and celebrities began to really get confused, because Lera is also a frequent visitor to the United States.


Kudryavtseva is not embarrassed by such similarities, but "Twitter" she even tagged news of the mix-up with the hashtag “#stuffhappens.” Evil tongues claim that the blame for such sameness lies with plastic.

Lera herself does not comment on rumors about plastic surgery.

In the fall of 2016, Lera became the host of the “Secret to a Million” program on NTV. The idea of ​​a talk show is that the guest star is asked questions about facts from her life. These could be small details from school years, which the celebrity may not remember, and a mysterious love affair that he does not want to talk about. Accordingly, the more provocative, scandalous and intimate the question, the higher its price. Only the most frank and courageous participants dare to answer the question for a million rubles.

The artist herself added fuel to the fire by posting a new photo with Masha. Kudryavtseva’s ill-wishers noticed that her child was too large for a newborn: the baby looked to be at least three months old. Moreover, in the frame the TV presenter looks too slim.
