The personal life of Renata Litvinova in recent years is of interest even to those who have never been a fan of her talent. The media stubbornly attribute an affair with the singer Zemfira to the extravagant actress and director, but there has not yet been an official confirmation of this information. But it was precisely because of these rumors that Litvinova's marriage to businessman Leonid Dobrovsky broke up in 2007.
Movie Star Husbands
In the past, Renata had 2 official marriages. In 1996, she married film producer Alexander Antipov. Family life with this man lasted about a year and ended in divorce.
The second spouse of Litvinova was a prominent Moscow businessman Leonid Dobrovsky. Married to him, Renata gave birth to a daughter, Ulyana. But family life and this time did not bring happiness to the woman. Having lived with Dobrovsky from 2001 to 2007, Renata left him. A high-profile divorce proceedings began, accompanied by the division of property and a real war for a young daughter.
A businessman meets Litvinova
Who is Leonid Dobrovsky? Litvinova's husband was born in 1965. By the time he met the movie star, he wasthe owner of several profitable factories in Russia and had nothing to do with show business. The first meeting of the future spouses took place in the late 90s. They were introduced by mutual friends. Previously, Leonid saw Renata only from the TV screen and was fascinated by her beauty and sophistication. Once next to his beloved actress, Dobrovsky began to actively look after her. It is not known how the short and unattractive Leonid was able to win the heart of the cinema queen, but after a while he proposed to her and received the long-awaited consent.
First years after marriage
The wedding of the film star and entrepreneur took place on January 10, 2001 in Moscow. After the celebration, the happy Leonid moved his wife to his house on Rublyovka and presented her with a gift in the form of a luxurious black Mercedes car. He doted on Renata and did not get tired of flooding her with expensive gifts. In July 2001, the couple had a daughter, Ulyana.
Dobrovsky Leonid Yulievich accompanied his soul mate to many star parties, but always modestly kept in her shadow. Being a non-public person, her husband asked Renata not to be too frank about him with journalists. Litvinova did just that, and when asked by correspondents about her husband's activities, she modestly answered that he was an engineer. A modest hard worker at that time was one of the largest businessmen in the capital. It was rumored that the house on Rublyovka, in which he lived with Litvinova, was next to the mansion of Putin himself.
Crisis in family relationships
From the outside it seemed that Leonid Dobrovsky and Renata Litvinova had an ideal marriage. But a few years after the wedding, problems began in the relationship of the spouses. Dobrovsky turned out to be quick-tempered. He found fault with Litvinova over any trifle, could raise his voice at her and even swear in front of her. Leonid liked to drink, and in a state of alcoholic intoxication, he completely ceased to control himself.
The situation escalated after Renata met Zemfira Ramazanova. Friendship between women seemed suspicious to journalists, and they saw something more in it. This could not stand Leonid Dobrovsky. The businessman became furious at the thought of his wife's infidelity and began to unravel his hands. It got to the point that one day, in a fit of aggression, he began to strangle Litvinova, brandishing a knife at the same time. The servants barely managed to pull the enraged Dobrovsky away from the frightened woman. After this incident, the actress packed up and, together with her daughter, left the businessman for her friend Zemfira. That was the end of her life together with the entrepreneur.
Divorce proceedings
Dobrovsky could not calm down after Renata's departure. He hired the best Moscow lawyers and began to prepare for the divorce proceedings. Accusing Litvinova of immoral behavior, he planned to deprive her of maternal rights to her daughter. But the actress was ahead of Leonid and filed for divorce first. In the statement of claim, she asked the court to terminate hermarriage with Dobrovsky and leave Ulyana with her. She demanded from her husband the payment of alimony for the maintenance of her daughter in the amount of 120 thousand rubles a month and the division of property acquired in marriage.
A series of court hearings began, in which the parties did not skimp on mutual accusations. Leonid considered Litvinova a bad mother who could not be trusted with raising a child. In retaliation for such statements, Renata accused her husband of hiding real income from the state. It was possible to put an end to the protracted divorce proceedings only after the conclusion of a settlement agreement between the ex-spouses. In accordance with it, Ulyana remained to live after the parental divorce from her mother, but on certain days her father could take her to him. Renata managed to sue Dobrovsky for alimony in the amount specified in the lawsuit.
Ex-spouses relationship after divorce
The divorce was finalized in 2007. After that, Leonid Dobrovsky disappeared from the field of view of the media. Renata Litvinova's husband was never accustomed to publicity and, after the divorce, devoted himself to work and communication with his daughter.
Despite the fact that the couple parted as enemies, they soon managed to restore normal relations and even spend time together in a civilized way. The surprise was that in 2009 Litvinova celebrated her birthday in the company of her daughter, mother, Zemfira and … Leonid Dobrovsky. The ex-husband not only came to the celebration taking place in the restaurant, but also fully paid for it. Such a change in the attitudes of people who until recently hated each other,caused amazement among the people serving the event. It is possible that the former spouses decided to resolve the conflict for the sake of their growing daughter, but still their behavior is commendable.
