Few couples in the Russian show business boast a reputation for a perfect union. Against the background of numerous and fleeting novels of colleagues, a strong pair of Igor Petrenko and Ekaterina Klimova stood out. However, in 2013 it became known that the fairy tale came to an end. Why did Klimova and Petrenko divorce? Read about the details of relationships and breaking stars in our article.
Student love
Everyone is interested in why Petrenko got divorced from Klimova, but let's plunge into the past when the relationship of the actors was just beginning. They met while still a student. Catherine and Igor together learned the basics of acting at the Shchepkinsky school. At first they were just friends, although they showed mutual sympathy for each other. Young people realized that Amur’s arrow pierced their hearts when both starred in the film “The Best City of the Earth” in 2003.
Burn all bridges
Igor and Catherine were drawn to each other with irresistible force, but both at that time were connected by marriage. Klimova from school years was married to the current influential businessman Ilya Khoroshilov 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.
Having finished work on a joint project, they did not meet for a year, but the separation was not able to pay off the feelings that flared up on the set. Petrenko could not get his colleague out of his head and after a long time he dialed her number with trepidation. At that moment, the actors realized that fate brought them together. Both left past companions and began to live together. Why divorced Igor Petrenko and Ekaterina Klimova 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. Catherine and Igor arrived to the registry office late, without even capturing the ring. After a moment of painting, they hurriedly left the wedding palace to keep up with the festive table.
Ilya Khoroshilov, the ex-husband of Klimova, tried to prevent the lovers from interfering. He wanted to fix everything, at first tearing his ex-wife with magnificent bouquets, and then he switched to almost criminal threats. Nevertheless, neither Khoroshilov was able to force Catherine and Igor to part with either the stick or the carrot. 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 wife, son of Matthew. A year later, little Roots was born.
They managed to combine the warmth of relations with active professional employment. Petrenko starred in the films “Driver for Faith” and “Wolfhound”, and also received the main role in the film adaptation of Lermontov’s novel “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 babies 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 couple broke up. Why did Klimova and Petrenko divorce?
Alarms
In 2012, Catherine and Igor captivated the audience with their appearance on the Kinotavr. They willingly photographed hand in hand, causing emotion of everyone around. However, at other events of the Klimov Film Festival, she spent time without a husband.
In the winter of 2013, photos of the actress appeared in the arms of the ex-soloist of the Chelsea band Roman Arkhipov. Journalists unanimously claimed that a spark ran between the musician and Klimova on the set of the comedy "Love in the City - 3". Whatever the case, it soon became clear that Catherine and Igor had not lived together for several months.
Loneliness together
In July 2014, the marriage of the once perfect couple was officially dissolved. Why did Klimova and Petrenko divorce? Both ex-spouses have their own version on this subject. In an interview, the journalist asked the reason for the break with Igor Petrenko. Why divorced Klimov actor? Petrenko replied that a successful career played a cruel joke on his personal life. The high demand for the actor entailed regular and lengthy departures. He rarely saw his children and his wife, so his former passion gradually came to naught.
Yekaterina Klimova also commented on why she divorced Petrenko. She did not like the constant absence of her husband at home. Klimova understood that these were costs of the profession, but when Igor appeared at home, he preferred privacy 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 pressing problems ended in a quarrel.
In addition, the actress suspected her husband of treason. Fans chased Petrenko relentlessly, and the actor, apparently, only in pleasure was an admiration for his person and flirtation directed in his direction. Once Igor went to work in St. Petersburg, but stopped contacting an hour before the departure of the return train. Excited Klimova with trembling hands dialed the phone numbers of St. Petersburg hospitals, and eventually found her husband at a restaurant table. Then the actress realized that she and her husband had forever become strangers to each other.
