Any family union of media personalities becomes the subject of public debate. Popular representatives of show business Rudkovskaya and Plushenko, whose age difference warms up additional interest, were no exception. Moreover, everyone had a traditionally approved marriage behind them, which broke up largely due to the fateful meeting with each other.
What marriage is considered unequal?
A seven-year difference is considered quite admissible, because the spouses are representatives of the same generation, they can be linked by common ideas about life and common cultural values. But it is applicable only to men. If an adult woman, such a marriage is immediately considered unequal. Rudkovskaya is older than Plushenko, therefore it is important to understand what worries psychologists in such an alliance:
- The slower development of men implies the need to choose a younger partner so that the spouses can match each other.
- Physiology limits the childbearing age of a woman, so the choice of a mature spouse is unnatural.
If, however, this happens, then what are the reasons for this phenomenon? Scientists believe that the origins are in the relationship of the young man with his mother: either from childhood he was deprived of maternal affection and care, or faced with an overly authoritative character. In this case, he is either looking for warmth and tenderness, or with the help of a partner, is trying to break out of maternal care. To better understand the situation, it is important to know how old Rudkovskaya and Plushenko are.
Age of spouses
Eugene - a native of the Khabarovsk Territory, who was born on 03/03/1982. A pupil of the Volgograd school of figure skating, where he lived from three years old. At eleven, he was forced to move to St. Petersburg in connection with the closure of the ice school. Coach Alexei Mishin liked the promising young man so much that he paid for it for three years so that a boy from an ordinary family could practice his favorite sport. Having early become independent, the skater entered his first marriage at the age of 22, but he was not durable.
Yana was born in Moscow in a military family on 02/01/1975. Her childhood and youth passed in Barnaul, where her father was transferred on duty. The year of birth of Plushenko and Rudkovskaya allows you to determine the difference in age, which is seven years. By the time of her first marriage (2001), Yana, a dermatovenerologist by profession, already owned a network of beauty salons, turning into a real business woman.
Plushenko on the age difference
It is interesting to know what the spouses themselves say about the situation and what they can object to psychologists. After all, everyone had a previous bad experience. An outstanding skater, married to the daughter of the richest businessman in St. Petersburg, Maria Yermak, who was two years younger than him, was completely unprepared for the creation of a family by his wife. The young woman did not have enough life wisdom, patience and understanding of the complexity of the character of a star husband.
Evgeni Plushenko believes that due to circumstances, having been separated from his family for a long time at training camps and competitions, he grew up faster than his peers. Therefore, he does not consider Rudkovskaya much older and more experienced.
At the time of marriage (34 years), the young woman was of childbearing age and did not force her husband to wait long for the heir. In addition, she looks great, being one of the most stylish representatives of the domestic show business. Being the owner of beauty salons in Moscow and Sochi, she carries half a suitcase of cosmetics with her and always appears in public in great shape. To prove to others how young the soul of a woman was, she went ice skating, taking part in the ice show "Star Ice".
Rudkovskaya and Plushenko: age difference through the eyes of Yana
The wife of the Olympic champion at the time of marriage was at a remarkable age when a real taste of love awakens in a woman. Her first husband, Victor Baturin, the brother of Yuri Luzhkov’s wife, was 18 years older. A desperate desire to preserve youth often pushes the fair sex in the arms of young partners, because the French not in vain claim: the woman's age can be found on the passport of her lover. Moreover, it is much easier for her to understand a man whose age periods are familiar firsthand. It is not difficult to adapt to the changing mood of the partner, which stimulates a new round of development in career, education and the birth of a child.
Yana Rudkovskaya in all interviews states that she can imagine her future without Eugene, because it is impossible to keep a person around him against his will. There are many temptations in life, and no one is safe from parting. However, she is convinced that Plushenko’s champion character is too tough for young girls who are not ready to show flexibility and tolerance.
Acquaintance
For the first time, Rudkovskaya saw Plushenko on TV. He seemed to her a thin elf with a nose that stood out on his face. She also thought that such a nose should stop the guy from kissing. But he noticed her in Sochi. She and her friend were sitting in a restaurant. At that time, the young man was relaxing in the south with his ex-girlfriend Ulyana Petrova. But they were not yet destined to meet. Everything happened on January 13, 2007 on Trafalgar Square in London. This meeting is well remembered by both Rudkovskaya and Plushenko. The age difference did not bother them for one simple reason - a spark ran between them, which is called popular love at first sight.
At the end of the Russian Winter festival, Dima Bilan performed, whose producer Yana became after the death of Yuri Aizenshpis. Prominent athletes at the same time held a Sochi 2014 rally in London. Among them was Plushenko, who expressed through a mutual friend a desire to get acquainted with Rudkovskaya in order to discuss joint creative plans. I did not have one look in Zhenya’s eyes to drown in them. And on the very first evening he made her an offer to become his girlfriend. And although at that time their marriages were cracking at the seams, both were not free. But there was a creative union of the Hungarian violinist Edwin Martin, who performed in the ice show Plushenko, the skater himself and Dima Bilan, who brought the latter victory at Eurovision a year later.
Similar problems
The creative success of 2008 was accompanied by the difficult divorce processes experienced by Rudkovskaya and Plushenko. The age difference did not prevent them from finding themselves in a similar situation. Victor Baturin, trying to make his ex-wife an immoral person, took his two sons and did not allow them to see his mother. During the showdown, the public became aware that the eldest son Andrei is the son of Baturin from a previous marriage with Julia Saltovets, whom Yana adopted, but loved as a native. If Plushenko after a divorce in February 2008 accepted the fact that Maria Ermak did not allow him to see her son, who gave her maiden name, then Yana fought like a tigress, experiencing a real nervous breakdown.
It seemed to her that their affair with Plushenko was doomed, because she could not give him the emotions that he was waiting for. Having turned into a crying, obsessed with the only idea to take a woman away children, she suddenly found understanding and support in his face. This situation brought them even closer, receiving unexpected permission after the former spouse was arrested for financial fraud in 2011.
An offer of marriage
Evgeni Plushenko announced his intention to marry after a brilliant victory at the Eurovision Song Contest by Dima Bilan. But the official engagement had to wait another six months. In early January 2009, a young woman celebrated her birthday in one of the capital's restaurants. To the song of Joe Dassin's Et si tu n`existais pas performed by Pierre Narcissus, the outstanding skater made an offer to his lady of the heart by handing a ring with a lemon diamond worth 160 thousand euros. On the date of three nines a wedding day was appointed - 09.09.2009, for the happy Yana Rudkovskaya answered her lover: "Yes."
Wedding
In fact, the wedding took place on September 12th, as the athlete could not postpone the training process. It was a grand event. In an interview, Rudkovskaya admitted that her first wedding was very modest, and the bride did not even have a wedding dress. But now there were two of them, and the head was decorated with a diamond diadem, discharged from Switzerland. Newlyweds signed in the Kutuzovsky registry office in the presence of the closest and witnesses: Lera Kudryavtseva and Nikolai Baskov. The main celebration took place in the SPA hotel on Rublevka, where 150 guests were present.
The cost of the celebration was about a million euros, but the main costs were borne by the sponsors. The wedding of Rudkovskaya and Plushenko was immediately ranked among the main events of the year in which the whole elite gathered. The bride’s bouquet was caught by Lera Kudryavtseva, but among the men, Andrey Malakhov was lucky. The main decoration of the table was a five-tier cake two meters high, which was crowned with figures of the bride and groom - exact copies of the newlyweds.
Yana's children
During a divorce from his former spouse, Rudkovskaya held 221 court hearings, most of which related to the place of residence of the children. In 2010, an agreement was signed, according to which the sons had to alternately live with their mother, then with their father. The woman went to this so as not to separate the children, because she could not take both of them without being Andrei’s biological mother. After the arrest of Baturin, the boys began to live permanently in the Rudkovskaya family. At first they did not even call her mom, but after a year the situation changed. Now Andrei is 15, and Nikolai is 14 years old, they are in the same class. Andrei refused to live with his mother after she claimed her rights.
After the birth of little Alexander in 2013, we can safely say that all three are children of Plushenko and Rudkovskaya, because the outstanding skater turned out to be a good father. Mom is grateful to him for introducing the boys to the sport. Thanks to Eugene, Nikolai lost 10 kg and was accepted into the Torpedo football team, which he had dreamed about. At the beginning of 2016, Viktor Baturin left prison. Despite the scandalous divorce, relations between former spouses are quite friendly. The father recognized the right of the sons to live with their mother, maintaining a close relationship with them.
Children Eugene
In addition to a joint child with Rudkovskaya, Plushenko has a son from her first marriage - Yegor Yermak. Largely thanks to Yana and her advice, he restored relations with his mother, who stopped interfering with the child’s communication with his father. Yegor is 10 years old, he constantly lives in St. Petersburg, where Plushenko has a country mansion. They are seen not only during the skater's visits to the Northern capital, but also during the holidays. Father teaches son to ski. On the eve of the Sochi Olympics, in which, after a three-year break, the athlete decided to participate, the family moved from Moscow to Rublevka.
The house of Yana Rudkovskaya and Evgeni Plushenko presents a three-story, three-story mansion designed by Vladimir Revin. After his death, Yana herself completed the construction and furnished the house, showing an enviable talent to equip life. In the courtyard for the older children, a hockey field was built, and the youngest Sasha, or Gnome Gnomech, as his family affectionately calls him, is developing a children's car park.
