Personal life

Irina’s first husband was the notorious rapper Sergei Larkin (Larson), whom she divorced less than a year later. Sergei died in a car accident in 2015, and Irina said that she could not believe his death:

“I am one of those people who knew Seryozha for real, as he really is - bright and fair. He fought for kindness in the world, for justice in the life of every person. He was cheerful and good-natured. I believe, I know, I feel that he will continue to shine with the light of his soul and the kindness of his intentions for all of us.”

Irisha married Alexey Brynzak, the son of the President of the Biathlon Federation of Ukraine Vladimir Brynzak, for the second time in 2014. According to the spouses, their parents tried to bring them together, but they themselves did not want it then:

“Yes, she didn’t want to date me, and I didn’t want to date her. A friend says to me: “Why are you sitting at home, go for a walk with beautiful girl. She is blonde, Blue eyes, just from Los Angeles." I remember that I arrived at the Dnepr hotel - we agreed to meet there - and she goes with her mother and ex-husband, and I think: “Cool, first date and immediately with my mother and my mother’s husband. Nice evening!"- Alexey said.

Their love story started out difficult, but ended very romanticly:

“We dated for 4 years, then we broke up, then we made up, then we broke up. I was ready for a family a long time ago, when I met him, I always understood that Alexey was the person with whom I wanted children. But it wasn’t that time.”

The time came very soon and Alexey proposed to Irisha at a friend’s wedding in Mallorca.

“Alex is the most romantic man on the whole planet. He gives me such gifts and surprises that it surprises me more and more every time! I remember how he confessed his love to me on the second day, sending a huge bouquet of flowers, and in it a note - I still keep it. During our first meetings, Alexey said that I was exactly the girl who would one day become his wife and the mother of his children. I remember that I once found movie tickets in his things - our first joint hike, then more small notes where he wrote poetry to me. This is so touching! Sometimes I come home and there is a surprise - dozens of lit candles and a table set for dinner. Or, waking up in the morning, I see the whole bed covered in rose petals.”

In November 2014, a daughter was born into their family, who received the name Jacqueline:

“We thought about the name for a long time. Initially we wanted to call our daughter a different name, but when it was announced as a native name, no one agreed with us. They asked me to think about another option. We settled on Jacqueline - this name reflects the energy of our daughter. The daughter became Jacqueline Alekseevna Brynzak. I want to say right away that we in no way named our daughter after Jacqueline Kennedy, as many people thought.”

Irina gave birth to her daughter in Los Angeles, which is a second home for her and Alexey. In addition, the price and level of medicine turned out to be a decisive factor in this matter.

Now the baby goes to work with her mother and is actively involved in sports and music.

Everything you need to know a real woman, definitely there is on .

We met with Irina Blokhina and Alexey Brynzak in the evening in one of the restaurants in the center of Kyiv. Ira was in a hurry to get to our meeting after rhythmic gymnastics training - all her energy is now focused on her favorite coaching job. Alexey arrived after his wife after have a long day carried out in business negotiations and meetings. Nevertheless, both looked, albeit a little tired, but cheerful and happy. After an hour and a half conversation, I understood the main thing: how useful it is sometimes to listen to your parents.

Ira, your decision getting married and having a child came as a complete surprise to many. It seems like everything happened spontaneously. Is it really?

Irisha: No, I clearly know what I want from life. The decision to start a family was not at all spontaneous for me. One day I simply asked myself a question: where is my home? After all, by that time I had lived in Los Angeles, New York, and Kiev. And I realized that my answer lies in the heart of this person ( points to Alexey). Alex and I have an extraordinary story - we have known each other for more than ten years, we have experienced a lot during this time, but we were not ready for everything. We went through so many trials that the decision to get married and have a child became obvious to us at some point. I will say this: everything happened exactly when it should have happened.

- So you have known each other for more than ten years?

Alexei: Yes, fateful meeting happened on the fifth of September. I remember August 2005, my father and I (Vladimir Brynzak, President of the Biathlon Federation of Ukraine, First Vice-President of the National Olympic Committee. - Note ed.) flew to Turkey for a rhythmic gymnastics competition. There I met Irisha’s mother and grandmother, Albina Nikolaevna and Irina Ivanovna, and they liked me very much. Our parents decided that they should definitely introduce us to each other, especially since Ira was just flying from Los Angeles to Kyiv. I also returned to hometown- Before that, he lived in the USA for many years, where he graduated from high school and entered university.

AND.: I didn’t want to get to know each other because I was against such “organized” meetings, especially at the initiative of my parents. I didn’t know then how good Alexey is (laughs), and then my mother and grandmother simply forced me to go on a date. It seemed to me that it would be much more romantic to meet your lover just on the street.

A.: By the way, I was also not happy with my parents’ idea. I just arrived from America, sat at home all day, watched TV, I was 19 years old at the time, but I behaved like a boy. My father still insisted that I meet a beautiful girl, and I obeyed him.

- So the fateful meeting did happen.

A.: Irisha came not alone, but with her mother and her then husband. Therefore, we can say that the first date was also with my future mother-in-law (laughs).

- How was the first date?

AND.: If there is love at first sight, then this was it.

A.: And I fell in love immediately. Irisha arrived for only two weeks, and we saw each other almost every day. I then told myself that I definitely had to kiss her before leaving.

AND.: But, as luck would have it, at that moment two wisdom teeth were pulled out, and my cheek was very swollen - I didn’t even think about kissing.

- Alex, admit it, did you manage to kiss Ira before leaving?

A.: Yes, I tried to make it happen in some romantic place, at sunset. We specifically went for a walk in Mariinsky Park, but nothing happened there, we were also near the People’s Friendship Arch, where beautiful view, but they didn’t kiss there either... There were almost a couple of days left before leaving, I was already starting to get nervous, and still no suitable opportunity presented itself... As a result, we kissed in the car, and I remember exactly that at that moment a very romantic song When I was playing on the radio cry, you cry performed by Ja Rule.

- It turns out that you are a romantic with a good memory?

AND.: Yes confirm! Alex is the most romantic man on the entire planet. He gives me such gifts and surprises that it surprises me more and more every time! I remember how he confessed his love to me on the second day, sending a huge bouquet of flowers, and in it a note - I still keep it. During our first meetings, Alexey said that I was the girl who would one day become his wife and the mother of his children. I remember that somehow I found movie tickets in his things - our first trip together, then also small notes where he wrote poetry to me. This is so touching! Sometimes I come home and there is a surprise - dozens of lit candles and a table set for dinner. Or, waking up in the morning, I see the whole bed covered in rose petals.

A.: Moreover, even my own father often does not understand my romantic impulses; he says: “This is all your Western upbringing.” But I believe that we need to give each other some pleasant little things or emotions every day, because we have one life.

- How did you live all these ten years? At some point, I understand, you broke up, because Ira during this time?

A.: We had already lived together in Los Angeles for four years, I was graduating from university and was planning to return to Ukraine to continue my career here, try to study family business. But Ira did not want to leave the USA - she had other plans at that time. That was the first time we separated from her for a long time. I was only twenty-three years old - I was definitely not ready for family life, and Irisha wanted this.

- How long did your breakup last?

AND.: Our breakup lasted six months, and then life brought us together again - we realized that during this time the feelings had not gone away, and we still love each other. It was difficult for me to understand why Alex was not ready to start a family with me? After all, we have such love, such passion and in general everything is so wonderful. But then I realized: no matter how much you love a person, you must let him go, everyone has their own path in life. And we broke up for the second time. I had a very hard time with the second breakup, without Alex I felt like I was in weightlessness, nothing made sense, my life was empty. By that time, my family began to put pressure on me: they say, isn’t it time to think about marriage and children? Well, you know, like all adults...

- And you decided to marry someone else? For the sake of the family and to spite Alex?

A.: This good question (smiles).

AND.: I think no. But I’m not ready now to go back to the past and discuss that marriage.

- But you, Alex, didn’t marry Ira out of spite...

A.: I’m not one of those people who act out of spite, much less get married just to prove something to someone, that’s not my thing. Moreover, at that moment I was focused on own career. By the way, I was even invited to take part in the TV project “The Bachelor,” and at some point I was close to agreeing, I really wanted to find a worthy girl. But then he refused: I compared all the girls with Ira, but none of them could even come close to her.

- What is there in Ira that you haven’t found in others?

A.: Firstly, she knows how to inspire. It's probably a family thing (laughs). With one phone call, Ira can set you up for victory, give you confidence, make you want to move forward and achieve your goal. I missed this terribly after our breakup. And secondly, she is an easy-going person. For example, we can spontaneously go on vacation somewhere to the Bahamas or the Dominican Republic. Or vice versa, we can lie in bed all day and watch movies - I’m always comfortable with her.

- Ira, we know that mom and grandmother liked Alexey right away, but what did dad say?

AND.: They found it right away mutual language, especially after a couple of bottles of wine. Dad used the old proven tactic - get him drunk and talk, and at the same time test his limit to see how he can handle it.

- What is your relationship with your dad now, do you seek advice?

AND.: Today, honestly, we communicate very little. My relationship with my dad is easy, but I would like to see each other more often, because, for example, he definitely doesn’t feel like a grandfather yet.

- Tell us, when did you want to become parents and get married?

AND.: This was our mutual decision - we realized that we had matured. By the way, Alex proposed marriage to me when I was already four months pregnant.

A.: I asked Irisha to become my wife twice, I specially ordered a ring from a jeweler. The first time was eight years ago, and the second time was at the beginning of last summer. I wanted to do this on Vladimirskaya Gorka, the place where our romantic dates took place.

AND.: I remember it was an ordinary day, he picked me up from training and suggested that I go for a walk. As usual, I'm in tracksuit- if I knew, I would dress more beautifully - I’m walking next to Alex, we’re talking about something, and then I notice that he’s very nervous, steam is starting to come out of him! He talks to me about love, and I think to myself: all that’s left is for him to get down on his knee and hand over the ring. And then it all happens: Alex gets down on one knee and says: “You know, I wasn’t ready for this step, but now I want it more than ever.” I, completely dumbfounded, answer: “Then I’ll stay and won’t leave, because my heart can’t stand the parting anymore.”

- But you didn’t have a wedding?

A.: No, we just signed at the registry office without witnesses or guests - the two of us ran in during the working day.

You say Alex proposed when you were four months pregnant. Maybe this is what pushed him?

A.: No, I wanted to propose earlier, I just had to wait several months for a ring from the jeweler, and it was at this time that Ira became pregnant. We didn't think that everything would happen so quickly - in the first month. Many people have been trying to conceive a child for years.

- Are you on family council have you decided that you will give birth in America?

AND.: Yes, our country at that time was not experiencing better times, and we decided that this was the best option. And then, I wanted my daughter to be born with the sun, and in Los Angeles in November it is sunny and warm.

- Did you have a partner birth?

AND.: Alex was with me during the contractions, but then I kicked him out. Before he could come out, I had already given birth. It was just Halloween, October 31, but I didn’t want to give birth on that day, I told the doctors that I would nurse as much as needed. Labor began just after midnight.

- Have you prepared for motherhood, attended courses, read articles on this topic?

AND.: The daughter in my belly taught me more than any book. I did not read special literature, but acted intuitively. When she was born, I already knew her, I felt unity with her.
