But one day, the girl’s mother saw that Yakovlev was accompanying her lover to the entrance. I had to confess everything. However, there was no scandal and misunderstanding on the part of the parents. The engagement was canceled, and literally two weeks after the first meeting, Yuri Yakovlev and Kira Machulskaya exchanged rings in the registry office. In the summer of 1952, the wedding was played in the house of the bride.
Married life
The young were blinded by their happiness - they could not see enough of each other. They settled in the room with the bride’s parents, where they were allocated a separate place behind the closet. They really wanted children, but for a long time Kira did not manage to give birth. The first-born died a few days later - turned out to be unviable. Doctors claimed that the whole thing is in different Rh factors. A discouraged father darted all over Moscow: he fought for the baby’s life, looked for blood for transfusion, but nothing helped. The first test for a young family. But they did not lose heart, supported each other. Yuri wrote to his beloved wife touching letters from the tour - he talked about which city he was in, where he had time to visit, and how he played in a particular performance. Until the last moment, Kira Andreevna kept all letters at home.
Throughout his family life, Yuri did not stop taking care of his beloved for a minute, always called her affectionate nicknames, hurried home, always brought gifts from every trip. According to the memoirs of Kira Andreevna herself, she never had any quarrels with her husband, no conflicts, she never even heard the word "fool" from the lips of a national artist.
There would be no happiness …
Despite the fact that the couple had already lost one child, both believed that they would certainly become parents. The miracle finally happened - Kira became pregnant.

Machulskaya could not forgive betrayal, she was not afraid to stay alone, she knew that there would be a loving man - the beauty never had a shortage of admirers. To fight for his love in the principles of Kira was not included. She understood: with the growing popularity of the spouse, the army of fans will also grow.
