Few people know that Yevgeny Kafelnikov’s ex-wife, model Maria Tishkova, has two daughters Diana and Alesya. Many remember the huge scandal that erupted in 2001, when Kafelnikov and Tishkova were getting divorced and Evgeniy demanded that Alesya live with him. In a toga, the court gave Ales to his father. There was no talk about Diana then (she is not the tennis player’s own daughter), however, in all interviews, Evgeniy claimed that very attached to the older girl.
ON THE TOPIC
Meanwhile, Diana was born from a short romance between Maria Tishkova and the once popular performer Christian Ray. The artist became famous in the early 90s, his most famous song in a duet with Kristina Orbakaite “Circle of the Moon, a sign of love.” He also distinguished himself as a successful producer. It was Christian Ray who took part in the recruitment and creation of the “Brilliant” group, co-writing with Andrei Grozny the first hit “There, Only There” and the duet with Olga Orlova “The Sound of Rain”. However, in 1998, Christian Ray met an American woman, Deborah Smith, in Los Angeles, who had worked in the entertainment industry for many years. They soon got married and had two daughters. Christian Ray now lives in the USA. Whether he maintains a relationship with his first-born, Diana, is unknown.
But Kafelnikov himself did not hide the fact that not only he is very attached to the girl, who should already be 20 years old this year, but also his parents. “They love not only our common daughter, but also Diana, whom they raised from the very beginning. small age. My parents love both girls absolutely equally. Both of my daughters are wonderful, smart, developed girls.", Kafelnikov said in an interview when his divorce from Tishkova was in full swing.
However, if the tennis player’s youngest daughter Alesya is now incredibly popular in the media, publishing provocative photographs on social networks, giving interviews and participating in fashion shows, then nothing is heard about Diana. Meanwhile, it became known that Kafelnikov and Tishkova reunite. Their daughter Alesya spoke about this. "Dad said that he loved my mother, and everything started all over again. They started dating again and building relationships. I was very happy about this. Now my mother lives with us. To be honest, we put up photographs with my dad where we are looking for a wife for him , specifically to make mom jealous. We make mom angry, and she comes and shouts: what is this at all? It’s not funny for mom, but dad and I are happy every time when mom is jealous of him, and then says, that if mom is jealous, it means she definitely loves him,” Super quotes Alesya Kafelnikova.
On February 18, 1974, the newborn Sochi resident Zhenya Kafelnikov, nicknamed the “prince” for his five-kilogram weight, did not yet suspect what awaited him in the future: tennis courts, millions of fans around the world, victories at the most prestigious competitions. Of course, all this did not come to him right away and took many hours of intense training.
Zhenya’s love for tennis was instilled in him by his father, a former volleyball player, who placed little Evgeni in the care of coach V.B. Peschanko. We went through our first training sessions, learned basic techniques, and it became clear that Zhenya has a sense of the ball. It was decided to transfer five-year-old Evgeniy to mentor V.V. Shishkin. The coach immediately fell in love with Zhenya, loved him as a tennis player and a person, considering him his most promising student. They worked together for about 12 years. Under the leadership of Valery Shishkin, Evgeniy developed as a player. Already in 1981, Zhenya was included in the group " Olympic reserve"with the USSR national team. Kafelnikov achieved his first significant successes in doubles, twice becoming European champion (under 14 and under 16 years old) together with Andrei Medvedev. In 1989, 1990 he won the World Cup as part of the USSR national team - with Medvedev, Rybalko and Ogorodov. In the spring of 1991, he attended an internship at Nick Bolliteri's academy, where he played several sets with Pete Sampras for the first time. After a trip to the USA (in the fall of 1991), Shishkin and Kafelnikov broke up.
Anatoly Lepeshin became Zhenya’s new coach. The mentor initially did not believe in Evgeniy, considering the young athlete no different from others, although even then Shamil Tarpishchev saw Zhenya and appreciated him well. He wrote: “Yevgeny Kafelnikov, a talented tennis player, broke into the elite - at the age of 12-14 he was rated higher than Andrei Medvedev.”
Forgetting about the initial differences, Lepeshin and Kafelnikov worked together. The coach turned out to be a strong psychologist and strong-willed person. He helped Zhenya a lot, disciplined him, and forced him to take the matter seriously. And who knows, Zhenya would have achieved such success if he had been coached by another person at that moment. And the successes were truly amazing: victories on the professional tour, winning the Grand Slam tournament - " Roland Garros", simultaneously in both singles and doubles. Before Zhenya, no Russian had conquered such peaks!
However, in 1998, Lepeshin and Kafelnikov diverged. Since 1999, Larry Stefanki began to coach the best Russian tennis player, very famous trainer, which gave impetus to potentially untapped talent. And Zhenya won another Grand Slam championship, " Australian open"! And then, again and again, Evgeniy won in various tournaments. Under the leadership of Stefanka, Kafelnikov became the first racket of the world and an Olympic champion. It would seem like an ideal duet. Apparently, something was still wrong: Larry and Zhenya broke up. It didn’t work out Zhenya and his wife Masha were left alone with their daughter Alesya. It’s some kind of evil fate to part with loved ones!
Despite all the hardships, Yevgeny Kafelnikov is an extraordinary person and great athlete. Zhenya loves not only tennis - since childhood he likes fishing, mature age began to fly an airplane, and recently became interested in golf. For professional career he won 24 tournaments in singles and 25 in doubles, became a champion Open Championships France and Australia, and in 2000 he won gold at the Sydney Olympics. However, Zhenya has one unrealized dream - the Davis Cup. All that remains is to wish Evgeny that it will come true: we want to look at Zhenya with the “Silver Salad Bowl” raised high above her head!

Biography
Alesya Kafelnikova was born on October 23, 1998 in Moscow. Father is the most titled tennis player in Russian history. A victory in the Grand Slam tournament is underway. In 1999 he received the title In 2000 he became Olympic champion. On June 11, 1998 he married Maria Vladimirovna Tishkova. At the time of their acquaintance, she already had a daughter, Diana, from the famous singer. The marriage lasted only three years. After the divorce, Alesya Kafelnikova’s father made every effort to ensure that his daughter stayed with him. The court sided with the tennis player, and since 2001 the girl lived with her father.
Maria raised her eldest daughter from her first marriage. Divorce star couple took place with great fanfare in the press. Evgeniy was afraid that ex-wife can take his daughter abroad, so he paid $2 million in compensation to his wife. Alesya Kafelnikova’s mother, among other things, professed a different faith, and the tennis player did not approve of this fact. The girl lived for several years in Sochi, with Evgeniy’s parents.
Alesya received her first education at school No. 1234. The capital's educational institution has the status of an elite institution, and only children of celebrities and influential parents attend it. Later, her father arranged for her to go to a private English boarding school. Alesya did not show any particular desire to study. She was more interested in horses and riding. Evgeniy gave his daughter a horse, which she named Kotik.
Career
Since childhood, Alesya was interested in the world of fashion and by the age of 15 she firmly decided to become a model. She attempted to sign a contract with the prestigious Elite agency, but the girl was rejected due to her young age. Two years later, his representatives themselves contacted Alesya and offered her a job. By this time she was already a fairly famous model. Her photographs appeared in magazines and she took part in several fashion shows. The agency's only requirement puzzled the girl - she needed to gain weight. At that time, she weighed only 43 kg, and this was considered a critical weight. With a height of 176 cm, she looked not just thin - her body looked more like a skeleton.
Anorexia
Photos of the young model appeared online and on the pages of printed publications. Looking at her, everyone came to the conclusion that the girl had driven herself to anorexia with exhausting diets. The model herself claimed that she felt great and had no problems with her weight. To confirm her words, she shows pictures from the show in Paris. There, her weight was not considered critical and they happily accepted her on the podium.
The father, who was initially against a career in the modeling business, was going crazy with worries about his only daughter. A year ago she weighed 52 kilograms and looked slim beautiful girl. Now all that remains of her are bones and the skin that covers them. He was very upset that his daughter did not listen to him, but preferred to rely on the opinions of her young fans on Instagram.
Later, Kafelnikov denied his words and in one of his programs stated that everything was fine with his daughter. But experts came to the conclusion that the girl simply seeks to outshine the glory of her father and is doing everything to become a famous and famous model. Perhaps she was influenced by the press's opinion and gained a little weight over the course of a few months. But this story turned into another scandal.
Loud statement
In December 2016, the girl posted a video on the Internet in which she declared her hatred of her homeland. The reason for this message was the excessive curiosity of the press about her appearance and weight. She speaks furiously English: “I want my country to be proud of me, but you are not proud of me, you are only gossiping! If you are a star, they hate you, they don’t like you, they gossip about you! I don't like Russia. I am making a career in another country, I should be proud. People ask me why I hate Russia. Of course I hate Russia!”
Fans perceived this as a nervous breakdown after numerous publications in the press. They were ready to forgive the girl for this emotional outburst. After all, she is only 18 years old! She still does not quite understand the true meaning of the word "Motherland". However, a month earlier, the girl had already managed to express quite specifically her opinion about people.
Golden youth
It was not possible to hush up this story because users of the application managed to save the photo that Alesya posted while on board the plane. The photo showed her own private jet, and at the bottom there was a note: “This is mine. I just decided to fly with the little people today.” The photo literally blew up the Internet. The girl hastily removed it, but it was too late.
Accusations of snobbery, rudeness and disrespect for people with average incomes rained down from all sides. The girl was reminded of her photographs with ambiguous captions, which clearly showed the idea that she was using drugs. At this time, Yevgeny Kafelnikov was in the hospital, where he underwent surgery. A lot of negativity rained down on his head.
Personal life of the model
Alesya Kafelnikova is not dating simple guys. Among her suitors are only wealthy sons of famous parents. In 2014, she delighted fans with joint photos with Nikita Novikov. The guy is the son of a restaurateur, and their families communicate very closely. The parents were happy with the choice of their children, and it seemed that their future was already predetermined.
Charming Nikita was educated, handsome and, to be honest, he was the heir to a huge business. But in 2015, their relationship ended. The reason was the distance - the girl studied at a modeling school in Moscow, and the guy received his education in England.
Sports novel
2016 was marked by a new novel. This time the model’s chosen one was hockey player German Rubtsov. But this relationship did not last long - by the end of the year the couple broke up. Photos from Instagram and touching posts on Twitter have disappeared. What caused the breakup is unknown. Perhaps, after the Meldonium scandal, the hockey player decided to devote his time entirely to his career.
Rapper Pharaoh and Alesya Kafelnikova
Only people completely far from the Internet and television have not heard of this novel. The young rapper quickly became a star and a youth idol. When photos of them together began to appear online, many lay low in anticipation of a scandal. For such a couple it was bound to happen. But reality exceeded all our wildest expectations.
First there were rumors about the girl’s drug addiction. Her father spoke about this indirectly when he posted messages online about how he was a failed father and that drugs were hell. In the photographs, Alesya appeared with a bandaged hand and a cigarette butt that looked like a marijuana cigarette. The girl herself denied all the rumors and accused her father of slander.
Rumors spread that after breaking up with Pharaoh, the girl tried to commit suicide. Some sources even claimed that the model ended up in intensive care after an overdose. Fans noticed that her lover unfollowed Alesya’s page, and she hasn’t posted photos together for a month. The girl hastened to assure that everything was fine with Pharaoh, and they were not going to separate. IN at the moment she is recording her first song and doesn’t care about gossip and rumors.
