The woman reacted sensitively to every whisper and creak of the bed. Something constantly bothered and revolted her. However, Misha could not even say a word across to her. After all, at that time he was practically a beggar. The talented writer disappeared for days at a local port. Soon itlife has changed.

The couple lived in two cities - Moscow and St. Petersburg. It suited them just fine. The lovers were in no hurry to the registry office. In the 10th year of their relationship, M. Zhvanetsky and N. Gaiduk had a daughter, who was named Elizabeth. However, they did not have a happy family life. Nadezhda found out that Mikhail had a mistress in Leningrad. This became a fat point in their relationship. Nadia registered her daughter with her last name.
On TV by pull
After 4 years, Mikhail went to Moscow to build a television career. He wasn't much complained about. But Zhvanetsky managed to find a "loophole". At that time, the head of the Around Laughter program was a very attractive woman named Tatyana. In a short time, Misha managed to win her heart. Zhvanetsky moved to her apartment. The new darling helped the native of Odessa "break through" on television.
Tatiana was ready to scream about her love at every corner. And Mikhail was afraid that someone would find out about their romance.
Fleeting Romance
At the same time, our hero started an affair with a woman who worked as a nurse for his sick mother. Regina Ryvkina - that was the name of this lady. She was not young, but she liked to take walks. One day Zhvanetsky came home quite drunk. And the mother's nurse decided to take advantage of the situation by seducing Misha.
Soon, Regina told the satirist about her pregnancy. A real scandal erupted, after which the woman quit and left for the United States. After some time it became knownthat her son Andrei was born. Regina reminded of herself, obliging Zhvanetsky to pay child support.
Venus
Michael's next darling also fled to America. He met the pretty Tatar Venera Umarova in Moscow. The girl just graduated from a chemical university and got a job as a teacher. The relationship between the oriental beauty and the writer from Odessa developed rapidly. Already a couple of months after they met, they began to live under the same roof.
Zhvanetsky's common-law wife, Venus, constantly persuaded him to emigrate to the United States. But he did not share her desire to leave the USSR. Mikhail and Venus lived together for 10 years, raised their common son Maxim. And it all ended with the fact that the beloved moved to America. She took the child with her.
Fateful Acquaintance
The current wife of Zhvanetsky is Natalya Surova. She worked as a costume designer, although she was trained as a hydrologist. How did their acquaintance happen? See all details below.
In 1990, in Arcadia, at the dacha that belonged to Mikhail's mother, the opening of the Odessa Club took place. Many people were invited to this event. The future common-law wife of Zhvanetsky was also there. 24-year-old Natasha Surova worked as a waitress. She served coffee to all the guests. The head of the Odessa Club immediately drew attention to her. As you guessed, we are talking about Mikhail Zhvanetsky. And there is nothing to be surprised. After all, the girl looked very impressive: bob haircut, high shoesheels, a little black dress and a dainty red coat.
At the end of the event, the satirist writer approached Natasha to get to know her. One of the guests joked: “Look, this is Zhvanetsky and his wife!”. Their age difference is 32 years. A wise man from the first minutes of communication managed to interest the girl.
Natalia did not even imagine the scale of his personal life. At that time there was no Internet access. And Mikhail's close circle tried not to give out too much information. I must say that his friends immediately accepted Surova and carefully protected the beauty from various gossip. They are probably just tired of the endless love stories of Zhvanetsky. They wanted the satirist to settle down and start a family.
She learned some details from Mikhail's past from his envious and ill-wishers. In this situation, Natasha acted like a wise woman - she did not arrange a showdown and did not ask the writer unnecessary questions.
Zhvanetsky turned out to be a gallant boyfriend. He presented his beloved with flowers, invited him to restaurants and cinemas. And when their relationship was six months old, Misha bought Natalia an expensive nutria fur coat.
Happy family
After several dates, Zhvanetsky invited the young lady to live together. And she agreed.
The couple was in no hurry to formalize their relationship. In 1995, the common-law wife of Zhvanetsky gave him an heir - the son of Dmitry. The boy received the famous surname of his father.
When Dima grew up, he constantlyasked why the parents are not married. After all, he did not want the people around him to consider him illegitimate. Mikhail Mikhailovich and Natalya constantly found some excuses. And in 2010, they nevertheless went to the registry office. They just signed, without arranging any celebrations. The couple also discussed in advance that Natasha would leave her maiden name.
How are Zhvanetsky's everyday life today? He does part of the work at home, lying in bed with a folder of papers. At this time, his wife Natalia goes about her business: cooking, cleaning other rooms, and so on. She knows not to disturb her husband while he is composing another monologue.
The Zhvanetskys have several exercise equipment at home. This is Michael's hobby. But recently, Natalia also began to join the training. Misha chooses he althy food - vegetables, steamed fish, lean meat. It is extremely rare that he asks his wife to bake buns or cookies.
