Few couples in Russian show business can boast a reputation for being the perfect union. Against the background of numerous and fleeting novels of colleagues, a strong couple of Igor Petrenko and Ekaterina Klimova stood out. However, in 2013 it became known that the fairy tale had come to an end. Why divorced Klimov and Petrenko? Read about the details of the relationship and the break of the stars in our article.
Student love
Everyone is interested in why Petrenko divorced Klimova, but let's plunge into the past, when the relationship of the actors was just beginning. They met when they were students. Ekaterina and Igor learned the basics of acting together at the Shchepkinsky School. At first, they were just friends, although they showed mutual sympathy for each other. Young people realized that Cupid's arrow pierced their hearts when both were filming the film "The Best City on Earth" in 2003.
Burn all bridges
Igor andCatherine was drawn to each other with irresistible force, but both at that time were bound by marriage. Klimova has been married to the current influential businessman Ilya Khoroshilov since her school years and raised her daughter Elizabeth. Petrenko was also the legal spouse of actress Irina Leonova. Both heroes of the office romance decided to forget falling in love like a dream and return to normal life.
After finishing work on a joint project, they did not meet for a whole year, but the separation failed to extinguish the feelings that flared up on the set. Petrenko could not get his colleague out of his head and after a long time he himself dialed her number with trepidation. At that moment, the actors realized that fate brought them together. Both left their past companions and began to live together. Why did Igor Petrenko and Ekaterina Klimova divorce after such a romantic and fateful beginning of a relationship?
Wedding bells
In 2004, the actors divorced their previous spouses and played their own wedding. The celebration, combined with the celebration of the New Year, took place exactly on December 31. Ekaterina and Igor arrived at the registry office late, without even taking the rings. After a moment of painting, they hurriedly left the wedding palace to be in time for the festive table.
The ex-husband of Klimova, Ilya Khoroshilov, tried to prevent legitimizing the relationship between lovers. He wanted to fix everything, at first giving his ex-wife luxurious bouquets, and then switched to almost criminal threats. Nevertheless, Khoroshilov did not manage to force Ekaterina andIgor to leave. But still, why did Klimova and Petrenko divorce after so many years of serene happiness?
Like Jolly and Pitt
In 2007, the actors became parents. Catherine gave birth to her beloved husband, the son of Matvey. A year later, little Korney was born.
They managed to combine the warmth of relations with active professional employment. Petrenko starred in the films "A Driver for Vera" and "Wolfhound", and also received a major role in the film adaptation of Lermontov's novel "A Hero of Our Time". Klimova also played in the films "We are from the Future" and "Antikiller D. K.", miraculously combining the care of two kids with the filming process. Mutual love inspired the stars to new creative victories. The couple shone at film festivals, inevitably getting comparisons with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The associations turned out to be true in the fact that both the one and the other couple broke up. Why divorced Klimova and Petrenko?
Alarms
In 2012, Ekaterina and Igor charmed the audience with their appearance at Kinotavr. They were willingly photographed hand in hand, causing affection of everyone around. However, at other events of the film festival, Klimova spent time without her husband.
In the winter of 2013, photographs of the actress appeared in the tabloids in the arms of the ex-soloist of the Chelsea group Roman Arkhipov. Journalists unanimously claimed that on the set of the comedy"Love in the big city - 3" a spark ran between the musician and Klimova. Be that as it may, it soon became clear that Ekaterina and Igor had not lived together for several months.
Loneliness together
In July 2014, the marriage of the once perfect couple was officially annulled. Why divorced Klimov and Petrenko? Both ex-spouses have their own version of this. In one of the interviews, the journalist asked the reason for the breakup with Igor Petrenko. Why did the actor divorce Klimova? Petrenko replied that a successful career played a cruel joke on his personal life. The high demand for the actor led to regular and long departures. He rarely saw his children and wife, so the former passion gradually faded away.
Ekaterina Klimova also commented on why she divorced Petrenko. She was not satisfied with the constant absence of her husband at home. Klimova understood that these were the costs of the profession, but when Igor appeared at home, he preferred solitude on the couch to talking with his wife. The situation was aggravated by the fact that during the filming of the series "Sherlock Holmes" the actor became addicted to alcohol. He avoided frank conversations, and Klimova's attempts to start a discussion of urgent problems ended in a quarrel.
In addition, the actress suspected her husband of treason. Fans pursued Petrenko relentlessly, and the actor, apparently, only enjoyed admiration for his person and flirting directed in his direction. Once Igor went to work in St. Petersburg, but stopped communicating an hour before the departure of the return train. Excited, Klimova dialed the phone numbers of St. Petersburg hospitals with trembling hands, and eventually found her husband at a restaurant table. Then the actress realized that she and her husband had become strangers to each other forever.
Present
At the moment, both Ekaterina and Igor are doing great in their personal lives. Klimova remarried in 2015 - to the young actor Gella Meskhi. The difference between Gella and Catherine is eight years, but this does not bother the lovers at all. Soon after the wedding, Klimova gave her new husband a daughter, Bella. She notes that she has no disagreements with her ex-husband. They still talk about raising their sons.
Petrenko himself also met a new love. Igor's companion was the 24-year-old actress Kristina Brodskaya, who gave birth to her beloved long-awaited daughter Sophia-Carolina.
