In Russia, Leyla Aliyeva is better known from gossip as the wife of Emmin Agalarov. But at home, in Azerbaijan, as well as in the world community, she is also known as the eldest daughter of the current president of the country.
Public image
Leyla herself has also been actively involved in social and political activities in recent years. Thanks to her strict Caucasian upbringing, the girl honors traditions, and it is difficult to find any scandalous stories in her biography. Journalists often confuse the girl with the Kumyk singer, her full namesake, but the singer Leyla Aliyeva and the daughter of the President of Azerbaijan are completely different people.
Leyla is positioned in the world community not as one of the offspring of rich and influential families, whose main advantage is his origin. The girl is well aware of what a respected and noble dynasty she is, and tries to live in such a way as to be the pride of the family. She harmoniously combines the beauty and wisdom of an oriental woman, but at the same time, thanks to her education received in Europe, she is quite Europeanized. This combination is a rarity these days. Due to its natural beauty, brightOriental appearance and rich social and political activities, the girl arouses the interest of the media and often appears in gossip reviews.
Childhood of the president's daughter
Leyla was born on July 3, 1986 in Baku in the family of Ilham Aliyev, who at that time was a teacher at MGIMO, and is currently the president of Azerbaijan. Leyla's grandfather, Heydar Aliyev, was also the president of the country. The biography of Leyla Aliyeva, if we consider the period of childhood, is no different from the stories of most other children. Of course, the girl did not feel a shortage of toys and other material goods, but her parents made efforts so that she would grow up unspoiled. Her mother, Mehriban Aliyeva, is currently the first lady of the country, and she is a doctor by training. The girl received her secondary and primary education in her homeland at secondary school No. 160 in Baku. Mehriban did not want to send her children to closed private schools from early childhood, deciding that during this period there is nothing more important than maternal affection and attention. Then Leyla, along with her younger sister Arzu, was sent to study at private colleges in Switzerland and the UK, so the girl is fluent in English. Parents tried to give everything to their daughters. A lot of attention was paid to education according to all traditions, so that they never forget that they are oriental women. At the same time, attention was paid to their comprehensive development and education.
Constant media attention
Of course, in 1986, when Leyla Aliyeva was just born, there was no talk of a presidential dynasty. But in the 90s, after the collapse of the USSR, when her grandfather became the president of Azerbaijan, everything changed. The girl had to walk all the time with several guards. She repeatedly admitted that because of this she could not feel free, because she, like all children, just wanted to walk along the streets of the city so that no one would pay attention to her. However, already at a young age, she liked to participate in various state-level ceremonial events.
After leaving for London, the girl breathed deeply, because few people knew her in the British capital, and she did not have to go for a walk with a crowd of guards. Even now, she remembers her time in London as one of the best times of her life.
Meet your husband and get married
One can almost confidently say that the biography of Leyla Aliyeva is crystal clear, with the exception of one incident. While relaxing in a Swiss ski resort, the girl met her future husband, Emmin Agalarov.
He was not a simple guy, but from a very respected and we althy family. He also received an excellent education abroad, and his father owns the Crocus Group. The state of the Agalarov family is estimated at almost 400 million US dollars. But the girl’s father, having learned about her passion for the younger Agalarov, was furious, because she is a representative of the presidential dynasty,therefore, the future husband of Leyla Aliyeva had to be from a noble and respected family. But the girl insisted on her own, not wanting to connect her life with a “suitable” person for this, but wanted to meet with the one she loves. And dad gave up. Emin had to formally ask for permission from the girl's father just to start courting her.
Weddings & Celebrations
In the spring of 2006, the young people got married. The official first wedding ceremony was held in Baku, where a relatively small number of guests were invited - only 240 people. After the newlyweds went to the Maldives for their honeymoon. According to Azerbaijani customs, the bride's relatives arrange another wedding for the couple, so after returning to Moscow, another ceremony was held at the Crocus City Hall, where more people were already invited, and representatives of the press were also admitted.

Tableware and furniture for the celebration were brought from the UK on 8 trailers, and flowers for decorating the halls were delivered by special flight from Holland.
Family life
After the weddingLeyla Aliyeva and her husband moved to live in Moscow.

She harmoniously combines the qualities of an oriental woman, an exemplary wife and caring mother, and a western woman.

Of course, Mehriban uses the services of plastic surgeons. However, Layla, according to rumors, repeatedly turned to them for help.
