There have been rumors about Vera Brezhneva's novels ever since she became the “blonde from VIA Gra.” Whoever was considered her husband or boyfriend. As soon as she played in a film or starred in a video with a spectacular man, rumors immediately appeared in the press that the couple was connected by something more than creativity. The loudest “romance” happened with director Marius Weisberg. They met on the set of the film “Love in the City”, after some time Marius organized Vera’s birthday with surprises and gifts. Brezhneva’s colleagues insisted that they had not seen her so happy for a long time. But subsequently the singer did not mention a word about her relationship with the director and never confirmed the rumors.
But conversations about relations with Sergei Svetlakov during their work on the film “The Jungle” caused Brezhneva a lot of trouble. The fact is that just at this time Sergei was divorcing his first wife. And, of course, the public blamed Vera for the collapse of the marriage. “This was the only time when I was really worried about rumors, I was ready to explain myself and prove that nothing connects us. Seryozha reassured me, saying that these rumors would in no way affect his and his wife’s decision to divorce.”

Three men truly influenced Vera Brezhneva's life.
Vitaly Voichenko
The affair with Ukrainian politician Vitaly Voichenko began when Brezhneva was only 17 years old. The couple lived in a de facto marriage for several years; the relationship was not formalized. And when Vitaly found out that Vera was pregnant, the romance came to an end. Vera gave birth to a daughter, Sonya, and soon got casted by Konstantin Meladze, becoming one of the soloists of the VIA Gra group. It was at this time that the singer changed her maiden name Galushka to the pseudonym Brezhnev. Subsequently, Vera managed to establish more or less equal relations with the father of her first daughter for some time. “Vitalik is doing great, he got married, he has a child,” Brezhneva said, “Sonya communicates with dad, sees him, his family, I don’t forbid it.” However, Sonya, having become an adult, made a choice for herself and stopped communicating with her father.
Mikhail Kiperman
In 2006, Brezhneva again had to change her last name - this time because she married Ukrainian businessman Mikhail Kiperman, whose marriage lasted six years. In 2009, the couple had a daughter, Sarah. Kiperman managed to find a common language with the singer’s first daughter, became friends with her and even gave the girl his last name. But the marriage with Kiperman was not happy either; in 2012, the couple filed for divorce. The reason was Kiperman’s dissatisfaction with his wife’s constant tours, as well as her too revealing photo shoots. “I’m free and happy,” Vera told fans immediately after the divorce.

Konstantin Meladze
And the main man in her life, apparently, was the one who had been around for many years, and no one suspected that they were connected by something more than work. Although Vera has been repeating for many years in a row in all interviews that he is the most important person for her. “This is Konstantin Meladze,” Brezhneva said. - He brought such changes into my life that it makes sense to divide my entire biography into two parts: before meeting Konstantin and after... He shaped both my universal and professional concepts. The way I love music, the way I love the audience, the way I approach the business - it’s all from him.” Vera and Konstantin met in 2002 and since then have always been together, despite the fact that she made attempts to start a family with other men, and all this time he was married to Yana Summ, who bore him three children. Yana insisted that the relationship between her husband and Brezhneva began in 2005, but Meladze denies this, assuring that then he perceived her as nothing more than his artist. The lovers decided to declassify only in 2015 - they played a secret wedding in Italy.

“I'll be honest. It was very late that some things came to me that are truly important in life,” said Meladze. “I was always obsessed with work, music, career, I lived in some kind of illusory world, sitting in the studio from morning to evening. I was always in a hurry to get somewhere, all I had in my head was self-realization and a bunch of all sorts of projects, there were more and more of them. Projects multiplied every year, and this whirlpool pulled in more and more. I had little understanding of what was happening around me. And only when I turned 45 did I suddenly come to my senses. Gradually I began to realize what is important in life and what is secondary. My eyes opened, I began to see the world around me, and I began to slowly crawl out of this submarine. And only then did I begin to truly need a personal life.”
When asked if Vera really took him away from his first family, Meladze responded with indignation: “Am I a calf? How can you even take me away?” The couple continues to protect their lives from prying eyes, but recently they began to appear together at events and post joint photos online.
Vera Viktorovna Galushka, known to us under the pseudonym Vera Brezhneva, is a former participant in the VIA Gra project, singer, actress and TV presenter.The childhood of Vera Brezhneva
Vera Brezhneva was born in the Ukrainian outback - in the Dnepropetrovsk suburb of Dneprodzerzhinsk, in the family of an employee of the Pridneprovsky chemical plant, Victor Galushka, and his wife Tatyana Permyakova, a metallurgical plant worker. Vera was the middle child in the family; her 5-year-older sister's name was Galina, and her 3-year-older twins' name was Vika and Nastya. 
When Vera was 4 years old, the family was vacationing in a sanatorium, and one day the father put the girl on the platform, for all the vacationers to see, and said: “Dance.” Since then, the little girl has literally fallen ill with the stage: she joined a dance club and began performing in school productions.
When the girl was 11 years old, her father was hit by a car. During the difficult period of his recovery, Brezhneva had to work: first Vera worked part-time in a cafe, then she traded at the market, and for some time she was a nanny. Every penny she earned went to a family in desperate need. However, all the difficulties did not break the baby, but only made her character indestructible.
Since childhood, Vera devoted a lot of time to her appearance and self-development. In addition to dancing and participating in performances, she played sports (from handball to rhythmic gymnastics) and attended a music school, but did not even think about a career in show business.
Having become a correspondence student at the Faculty of Economics of the Dnepropetrovsk University of Railway Transport, Vera attended secretarial courses and studied foreign languages in depth under the supervision of tutors.
Vera Brezhneva as part of VIA Gra
Vera Brezhneva first performed with VIA Groi in the summer of 2002, during the group’s Ukrainian tour. She was an ordinary spectator who expressed a desire to go on stage during the performance of “Attempt No. 5.” Apparently, the producers liked what they saw, and already in November Vera was invited to the casting to replace Alena Vinnitskaya, who left the group.2003: Vera Brezhneva is a new member of VIA Gra
The singer successfully passed the audition and moved from a provincial Ukrainian town to Moscow. There was one problem: according to the producers, the surname “Galushka” was not suitable for the stage. The question arose about a stage name, and since Vera was a fellow countrywoman of the former USSR Secretary General Leonid Brezhnev, it was decided to take his last name as a pseudonym. In January 2003, Vera officially debuted as a member of VIA Gra along with Nadezhda Granovskaya and Anna Sedokova. Subsequently, it was this trio that was recognized as the “Golden composition of VIA Gra”.
The first step was to create a video for the song “Don’t leave me, darling!” from the new album “Stop! Removed!”, the recording of which was supervised by Konstantin Meladze. The incredibly sensual video topped the Russian charts for several months. In the same year, viewers of the Ru.TV channel recognized this composition as the best song of the decade. It is noteworthy that American astronaut Michael Foale loved this song so much that he took the VIA Gra disc with him to the ISS.
Subsequently, each VIA Gra song invariably became a hit, including a humorous duet with Verka Serduchka (“I didn’t understand”) and joint recordings with Valery Meladze (“Ocean and Three Rivers,” “One Hundred Steps Back”).

The trio was at the pinnacle of success, but the girls were forced to lead a literally nomadic life - endless tours, performances, press conferences, filming... In addition, the team was shaken by changes: after Nadezhda Granovskaya left in early 2006, Christina Kots-Gottlieb took her place , Olga Koryagina and Meseda Bagaudinova, and Anna Sedokova ceded her “position” first to Svetlana Loboda, and then to Albina Dzhanabaeva. Constant fatigue, frequent changes of environment and changes in composition finished off Vera Brezhnev. In the summer of 2007, she stunned her fans with the news of leaving the group.
Vera Brezhneva after VIA Gra
After leaving VIA Gra, Vera Brezhneva took a sabbatical, and soon the blues attacked her. Still, she lacked the usual dynamics and travel, and the rest of the team members became practically sisters to the girl. Therefore, at the beginning of 2008, Vera decided to return to show business, albeit in a new role as a TV presenter - she began hosting the show “Magic of Ten” on Channel One, after which lucrative offers from TV people began to flow in a continuous stream - for a luxurious blonde with an innate artistry would have a place in any studio. 
In May 2008, Vera Brezhneva presented her first solo video, “I Don’t Play,” and in the fall she became a participant in the “Ice Age 2” project, paired with the Armenian figure skater Vazgen Azroyan. Unfortunately, their tandem never reached the finals, but the audience fully appreciated Brezhneva’s grace. By the way, shortly before this, the popular Maxim magazine recognized Vera as the sexiest woman in Russia, and the Hello publication awarded her the title of the most stylish Russian celebrity.

In early autumn 2009, Channel One aired the improvisation show “Southern Butovo” with host Alexander Tsekalo. Vera became a participant in the project, but after four episodes of the program she went on maternity leave.
In the summer of 2010, Vera Brezhneva came to the 2010 Muz-TV Awards together with the Moldovan singer Dan Balan, and a few months later the musicians presented their joint creation called “Rose Petals”. Since September 2010, Brezhneva has hosted a program on “Demobilization Album” on Russian Radio.
In November, Vera Brezhneva presented her debut solo disc, “Love will save the world.” Although the duets included in it with Balan and Potap were coolly received by critics, for the title song of the album Vera received the first Golden Gramophone award statuette in her collection.

In 2015, Vera Brezhneva’s second album, “VERVERA,” went on sale. Among the 14 compositions, listeners especially highlighted the duet with DJ Smash (“Love at a Distance”) and the first English-language song in the singer’s repertoire, “Feel.”
Vera Brezhneva in cinema
In 2005, Vera Brezhneva made her film debut and instantly established herself as an excellent actress, as natural as possible in front of cameramen’s lenses. The girl’s first role was Motri from “Sorochinskaya Fair” by Semyon Gorov. Together with Vera Brezhneva, such Ukrainian stars as Georgy Khvostikov, Sofia Rotaru, Ruslana Pysanka, and Yuri Galtsev appeared on the set. 
A year later, Gorov invited Vera to the cast of the New Year's musical "Star Holidays", a film about a song competition called "Cosmovision", which an ordinary family from Earth gets into and confuses all the cards for show business bigwigs. The singer's partners were Tina Karol, Sofia Rotaru and Dima Bilan.
In 2009, Vera Brezhneva made her feature film debut. Her first serious film role was Katya, the heroine of Marius Weisberg’s film “Love in the City.” An impressive male cast (Alexey Chadov, Vladimir Zelensky, Ville Haapasalo), an attention-grabbing plot and decent shooting quality ensured the film commercial success, so two years later its sequel was released.
On the eve of the release of the film on wide screens, the “Disco Accident” video “Always Summer” appeared, in which the female half of the film starred - Vera Brezhneva, Svetlana Khodchenkova and Nastya Zadorozhnaya. However, Vera also did not stand aside and recorded the song “Love in the Big City,” for which a video was soon shot.
Vera Brezhneva - “Love in the City”
In 2011, Vera Brezhneva performed a cameo in the New Year's comedy "Yolki". She unwittingly became a participant in the “theory of six handshakes”, masterfully playing with Alexander Golovin (a snowboarder who once rode with Vera), Nikita Presnyakov (driver Pasha, who gave the singer a lift), Ivan Urgant, who played the role of businessman Boris, and many others.
In 2012, the girl starred in the adventure comedy “The Jungle” with Sergei Svetlakov. They played spouses who are undergoing a relationship crisis and therefore go on an exotic trip. It is not surprising that rumors immediately spread in the media regarding their intimate relationship, however, as both artists emphasized, the romance between them was aimed exclusively at the camera.
Personal life of Vera Brezhneva
In her youth, even before the start of her career, Vera Brezhneva lived in a civil marriage with Vitaly Voichenko, a Ukrainian politician. At the age of 19, the girl gave birth to a daughter, Sonya, after which the young people separated.She celebrated another anniversary - her 15th anniversary in the group "Via Gra", which gave a simple girl from provincial Dneprodzerzhinsk a ticket to a big and bright life. On the occasion of the star’s anniversary, you can remember many different stories, sort through heaps of photographs and study with stylists the transformation of her image.
However, “KP in Ukraine” decided to talk about Vera Brezhneva from the point of view of her men. For each of them, at some point she was the center of attraction and for some she remained a good memory, and for others she is still an adornment of life.
Vitaly Voichenko

Vera’s first actual husband at that time was still Galushka, a resident of the Dnepropetrovsk region, Vitaly Voichenko. According to various rumors, he was an athlete and a small businessman. As Voichenko himself once told KP in Ukraine a long time ago, he first met Vera in a cafe, where she came with another guy.
“When I saw her, it seemed to me that the sun had risen,” said Vitaly.
They did not meet then, but the image of the beautiful stranger did not leave his memory, and he began to look for the woman who had deprived him of peace. It turned out that the girl was from another city, so the search took a long time, but Vera and Vitaly still met and began to live together. The future star was 18 years old at that time. Vitaly insisted that she enter the Dnepropetrovsk Railway Institute as a correspondence student. He insisted that she replace her glasses with lenses and grow her hair, thereby defining the image of the future sex symbol. Therefore, the couple had a daughter, Sonya. Vitaly Voichenko claims that his love with the future artist was real, but life’s problems simply killed the feeling. Vera left her first husband without scandals - she just left a note.
Mikhail Kiperman
It may very well be that it was a meeting with a successful Dnepropetrovsk businessman - a member of the supervisory board of the Ukrnafta corporation, Mikhail Kiperman - that divorced Brezhnev from her first husband. Kiperman was 10 years older than Vera, and he was also married, although at some stage of his relationship with the artist he divorced. The businessman’s family was categorically against this relationship, but Vera Brezhneva did marry Mikhail Kiperman in 2006. At that time she was already a well-known star. She took her husband’s surname, and in 2009 gave birth to her husband’s daughter, Sarah.
Now next to me is the ideal man whom I love and with whom I want to spend the rest of my life,” Vera said then in an interview.
However, in 2012, Brezhnev and Kiperman divorced. At the same time, the star’s first husband is sure that Vera never loved her second, and if she did, it didn’t last long. The couple divorced without scandal, although there are rumors that Brezhneva’s second husband found out that she was dating Konstantin Meladze, became jealous and broke off the relationship. As Brezhneva sang: “There is no more attraction.”
Marius Weisberg
Only the lazy did not talk about the fact that Brezhneva had an affair with the director of the film “Love in the City” Marius Weisberg. He directed the actress in three films in the franchise. But he went up in flames in 2013, when a picture of Brezhnev and Weisberg kissing went viral. Moreover, the director himself denied the speculation that this kiss was for the sake of PR for the future film, saying that he definitely did not need such cheap PR. Well, if not PR, then what? Even if it was a short-term romance, but sometimes feelings that jump from heart to heart, like a discharge, leave memories for a lifetime. And whoever has not experienced this has not lived at all.
Konstantin Meladze
And finally, the main man in Vera Brezhneva’s life is composer Konstantin Meladze. The man who essentially made a star out of Vera, becoming for Eliza Doolittle from Dneprodzerzhinsk a kind of Georgian professor Higgins. And he had a lot of work, because in 2002, when producers Meladze and Kostyuk invited Vera Galushka to Via Gro instead of Alena Vinnitskaya, the girl had no trace of today’s sexy gloss. No one today will tell you exactly when the relationship between the producer and the artist moved from a business plane to a personal one and when Pygmalion fell in love with his sculpture. Although Meladze’s ex-wife is sure that this romance developed starting in 2005. And when Vera left Via Gra, Konstantin began to single-handedly produce Vera.
We all know how it all ended. There was a divorce on both sides, and in October 2015 the couple got married in Italy. And on this occasion, Brezhneva’s press secretary said: “They are completely happy, but are not yet ready to share the details of what is happening. We need to wait a little.” Last fall, the couple celebrated their second anniversary of marriage. What do we know? We know that Vera, as before, is working hard, torn between two countries. And we won’t know what Konstantin is doing until he wants it himself. But nevertheless, they are together.
On December 14, the singer’s youngest daughter turned eight years old. In honor of this event, she gathered numerous friends and relatives. The ex-soloist of “VIA Gra” shared several photos from the celebration with subscribers on social networks.

The singer gave birth to the eldest Sonya while in a relationship with businessman Vitaly Voichenko, and the youngest Sarah was born when Brezhneva was married to Mikhail Kiperman. Yesterday, December 14, Brezhneva's youngest heiress turned eight years old. From the very morning, the young birthday girl accepted congratulations. First of all, the star mother congratulated her daughter on social networks. On her Instagram page, Vera posted a touching post, where she told how important and responsible it is for her to be a mother, and in the evening she organized a fabulous holiday for Sara in one of the restaurants in Kyiv.

It turned out that her daughter insisted on this outfit. “Sarah chose my outfit and kanekolons. The birthday girl decides,” Brezhnev told her subscribers. The singer's heiress appeared before the guests in an identical outfit and with almost the same hairstyle as her mother.
But Vera’s eldest daughter could not attend the family celebration, but she congratulated her sister on her birthday on social networks. “Eight years ago our family was blessed - you, our little angel, were born. Since you were born, every day has become special. Watching you grow and being able to teach you things is the most amazing thing I've ever done in my life. Happy birthday, Sarah,” Sonya wrote on the microblog.

Let us remember that in the fall of 2015, Vera Brezhneva married composer Konstantin Meladze. The couple's wedding took place in Italy. The spouses do not yet have any children together, although rumors about the singer’s pregnancy appear almost every month.
The singer’s personal life testifies to her ability to appear in the right place at the right moment and firmly hold her bird of happiness in her hands.
Vera Brezhneva's husbands: former and present
Vera Brezhnev had serious relationships with three men, including the decision to have children together. Each of them brought their own touch to the singer’s image.
Vitaly Voichenko: love at first sight
The first time he saw her was in a cafe: a 17-year-old student with a short haircut struck him on the spot. A few days later he found her in Dnepropetrovsk, met her and took her to Energodar, where he did business. Vera Brezhneva's first husband earned good money and could solve the financial problems of a girl from a large family.
Living with Vitaly, Vera Galushko turned from a “tomboy” with glasses into a long-haired, blue-eyed beauty.
Vera Brezhneva's husband Voichenko tried to be a good father; he took care of his newborn daughter Sonya. The breakup for Vitaly was sudden: having taken her one-year-old daughter and things, she left him only a note. Their civil marriage lasted about three years: from 2000 to 2002. Vitaly went to the tundra to experience the pain of parting, and Vera had a stellar career ahead of her in the VIA Gra ensemble.
Mikhail Kiperman - Vera’s second husband
In 2007, Vera left the ensemble to sail alone on the waves of show business. She really needed a man who would support her at the same time. The choice fell on Ukrainian millionaire Mikhail Kiperman. The singer was not stopped by the fact that he already has a wife and two children. The divorce from the first family and the registration of a new marriage in 2006 occurred contrary to the demands of Mikhail’s Orthodox Jewish relatives. Both his second wife and her daughter Sonya began to bear his surname, who began to call herself daddy’s daughter.

Vera Brezhneva's second husband Kiperman was ready to pay for her show projects, but turned out to be a jealous man. The relationship was overshadowed by the husband’s negative attitude towards the artist’s participation in explicit scenes in films, and towards her photos on the pages of magazines. Vera’s secret love, Konstantin Meladze, appeared on the horizon. The millionaire organized surveillance of his frivolous wife.
The relationship was not saved by the birth of their common daughter Sarah. After confirming the betrayal, Kiperman filed for divorce in 2012. “Vera left Mikhail not because of money, but because she stopped loving him,” Vitaly Voichenko, who knew her well, commented on this divorce.
Romance and family life with Konstantin Meladze
October 22, 2017 will mark 2 years of Vera Brezhneva’s married life with her third husband, Konstantin Meladze. Their relationship withstood a ten-year test of strength even before the wedding. Two years ago, in the Italian town of Forte dei Marmi, in front of a large crowd of Russian-speaking witnesses, they sealed their feelings with marriage.
Vera Brezhneva's husband Konstantin Meladze admits that his new wife not only opened up the world of earthly joys for him, but also inspired his creativity. The once brilliant sculptor Pygmalion carved a female statue from stone, and then fell in love with her. Producer K. Meladze formed an outstanding actress from the debutante of the VIA Gra ensemble, honed her talent, and then called her his wife.
Perhaps the first disappointments in loved ones that Vera hints at this year are associated with the prolonged wait for an heir. Kazakh soothsayer Kazhetta claims that they will live together for 11 years if they overcome difficulties in the third and seventh years of their life together.
Children of the singer
Vera Brezhneva has two daughters and dreams of a son. Sonya was born in 2001 from Vitaly Voichenko, but currently bears the surname Kiperman and does not seek contact with her biological father. She came up with a pseudonym for herself - .
At the age of 16, Sonya managed to:
- study at a modeling agency;
- perform on the catwalk in New York with a Ukrainian collection;
- become the face of one of the Russian brands;
- take part in the 2015 debutante ball in the Kremlin Hall, showing off a dress from Elie Saab Haute Couture;
- take an acting course in Los Angeles and star in a youth series;
- enroll and successfully study at the International British School;
- make friends with a rich American guy, Hawk Krubert.
Brezhneva’s daughter confidently declares that all her plans are connected with moving to America.
Sarah Kiperman was born in 2009 in her second marriage, now she is a high school student. Additionally, she studies English and Italian, ballroom dancing, music, and sports. She loves to look like her mother and wear dresses like her mother's.
Vera Brezhneva and Konstantin Meladze do not have children yet. The singer does not hide her desire to give birth to a son to Konstantin. Until now, this woman has achieved everything she has achieved, everything in due time.
