Kuzmin Kelly Curzon. Divorce of Vladimir Kuzmin: The artist was fed up with mysticism and vegetarianism by his wife
Vladimir Borisovich Kuzmin. Born on May 31, 1955 in Moscow. Soviet and Russian musician, singer. People's Artist of the Russian Federation (2011).
Father - Boris Grigorievich Kuzmin (1928-2013), military man, marine. In recent years he lived in Dnepropetrovsk. Died in an accident on May 30, 2013 in Ukraine at the age of 85. It is known that when my father came to Vladimir, even in his old age he rode with him on a motorcycle.
Mother - Natalya Ivanovna (1930-2001), foreign language teacher.
The younger brother, Alexander Kuzmin (pseudonyms: Alexander Telegin and Sanya Diegov), was a keyboard player in the group “Dynamic”. Since 1992, he lived in San Diego (stayed during the “Dynamics” tour in the USA), musician, singer, composer and songwriter, has his own recording studio “Sex(t)-Accord”, where he releases his and his brother’s albums, married, has children. In 2010 he returned to Russia.
The younger sister, Irina, lives in Moscow.
Due to his father's profession, the family had to travel a lot around the country. So, soon after Vladimir’s birth, his father was transferred to the Northern Fleet - to the Sputnik garrison in the Murmansk region.
He went to first grade in 1962 in the Belarusian city of Bykhov.
Later, the family moved again and he studied at school No. 5 in the village of Pechenga, Murmansk region.
Despite frequent changes of schools, he studied well and for a long time was even an excellent student.
From early childhood he was interested in music. He studied violin at a music school. Already at the age of five he mastered the electric guitar. And he wrote his first song at the age of six.
When I was in sixth grade, I organized my first group. He performed with her at concerts and school parties, performing both his own songs and compositions by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and other rock groups.
From 1978 to 1983 he studied at the wind department of the Dnepropetrovsk Glinka Musical College, flute class with Sergei Dmitrievich Pyatov (now the chief conductor of the circus orchestra, soloist of the chamber orchestra “Seasons” named after Harry Logvin).
As Kuzmin recalled, he began learning the flute from scratch. But very soon he even overtook his classmates. And for the state exam I chose the most difficult pieces: “Suite No. 2” by Bach, “Poem” by Zhanna Kolodub and “Flight of the Bumblebee” by Rimsky-Korsakov. He played in such a way that the testimonial signed by the chairman of the state commission, professor of the Leningrad Conservatory Alexander Yuryev, read: “The student showed a fairly deep understanding of the composer’s style and good command of the instrument. He has a beautiful sound, excellent intonation, a good “Bach” touch, confident, clean finger technique... The rating is five.”
He studied at MIIT in the same course as Chris Kelmi and Vladimir Slutsker.
In 1976, he began playing in VIA Nadezhda, where he declared himself to be a very capable guitarist. IN VIA "Nadezhda" For the first time, Vladimir Kuzmin's songs began to be publicly performed. Together with “Nadezhda”, singer Igor Ivanov performed several solo numbers, who also sang Kuzmin’s song “Don’t Leave”.
Nikolai Noskov, who worked at Nadezhda for about six months, later recalled that he sang songs by Vovka Kuzmina.
Until some point, Kuzmin himself did not sing, but then, at the suggestion of Igor Ivanov, he began to perform his compositions from the stage. “Once, while on tour, I saw Volodya humming something. I listened and said: “Vova, you have a timbre like Santa Esmeraldaruen!” He made surprised eyes - he didn’t hear. I gave him the cassette to listen to, he listened and after some time he began to sing, so we heard him as a vocalist,” recalled Igor Ivanov.
Kuzmin recorded his performance of “The Furious Construction Squad” by Alexandra Pakhmutova and Nikolai Dobronravov. Pakhmutova and Dobronravov themselves came to record the song at the Recording House, and they liked his performance. However, his superiors forbade him to sing this song because of the peculiar manner of performance.
In 1982-1985 he worked in the group "Speaker", participated in the first and second lineups of the group. The basis of the group's repertoire were songs by Vladimir Kuzmin.
In June 1982, the group was registered under the name “Dynamic” at the Tashkent State Circus, the first composition of which included: Vladimir Kuzmin (songwriter, vocals, guitar, violin, flute, saxophone), Yuri Chernavsky (music producer, arranger, keyboards , saxophone), Sergey Ryzhov (bass guitar, vocals), Yuri Kitaev (drums, percussion).
Despite the lack of support from the “official” radio and television, Dinamika’s concerts invariably attracted full houses. The group's first magnetic album became a resounding success. The progressive press recognized "Dynamic" as the best ensemble of 1983, and all its musicians were included in the top lists.
After the departure of Chernavsky, Kitaev and Ryzhov, Vladimir Kuzmin invited new musicians to the Dynamik group - his brother Alexander, Sergei Evdochenko (keyboards) and Yuri Rogozhin (drums), and in November 1983 the group, after a break, resumed performances, but as an accompanying band team of soloist Vladimir Kuzmin.
Vladimir Kuzmin improved his skills as a singer-songwriter, and his name, as a soloist-singer, began to be heard throughout the country. He began performing and recording new albums under the name "Vladimir Kuzmin and the group "Dynamic"".
In 1985, the group released the album “Music of Telegraph Wires.” For unknown reasons, the album was banned in the USSR, and at the moment is preserved only in digitization from reel-to-reel recordings. However, several songs from it were re-released on the anthologies of the group “Dynamic” and Kuzmin.
But he really gained widespread popularity when he began collaborating with Alla Pugacheva. At the beginning of 1986, the premiere of Igor Nikolaev’s song “Two Stars” took place, which Pugacheva and Kuzmin performed as a duet. The song quickly became popular and soon Kuzmin became the vocalist and guitarist of the Recital group, which accompanied Pugacheva. In 1986, he reached the finals of the All-Union Television Festival “Song of the Year” with her for the first time. And in February 1987 he performed with her at the Italian Song Festival in San Remo.
During 1986-1987, a number of joint tours between Pugacheva and Kuzmin took place both in the USSR and abroad (in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and other countries). In September 1986, Kuzmin and Pugacheva gave a joint concert for the liquidators of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the shift workers' village of Cape Verde near Pripyat and the emergency reactor.
Vladimir Kuzmin - Simone
Vladimir Kuzmin wrote songs for Alla Pugacheva. At the end of 1986, they recorded a joint split album, “He, She and the Rain,” which was to be released in 1987. However, the album was never released on time, since Kuzmin and Pugacheva abruptly stopped collaborating. Part of the material (songs performed by Kuzmin) was included in the album “Romeo and Juliet”, and the idea was fully realized only 10 years later, in 1997, in the album “Two Stars”.
In 1987, the Melodiya company released Vladimir Kuzmin’s first solo album, “My Love.”
In March 1987, Kuzmin assembled a new line-up of the Dynamik group: Alexander Stepanenko (saxophone; ex-Bravo), Valentin Lezov (bass; ex-Arsenal, Rock Studio), Alexander Goryachev (guitar; ex-Bravo), “Gulliver”, “Brigade S”), Alexander (“Bach”) Bakhurets (drums) and Alexander Telegin (aka Alexander Kuzmin) (keyboards).
After V. Lezov left the group, A. Telegin (Alexander Kuzmin, Sanya Diegov) began playing bass guitar, who was replaced on keyboards by Igor Len (ex-Nicholas Copernicus, Obermaneken, Center). After a short rehearsal period, Kuzmin went on tour with the group. He successfully toured with this lineup and recorded records, including one of Kuzmin’s best albums, “Tears on Fire.”
Vladimir Kuzmin - When you call me
In 1991-1992, Kuzmin and “Dynamic” continued their career in California, where, together with local musicians, they performed in nightclubs and recorded two English-language albums: “Dirty Sounds” and “Crazy about Rock-n-Roll”.
At the end of 1992, the musician returned to Moscow, where he restored his accompanying composition, recruiting new musicians, since almost all the members of his previous group remained living in America. In 1993, Kuzmin began touring and recording new concert and studio solo albums, while changing the lineup of Dynamics musicians several times and achieving the sound he needed from the group.
In 2002, he was awarded the honorary title of Honored Artist of Russia.
The singer has repeatedly become a laureate of prestigious music awards: “Golden Gramophone” (1996, song “Seven Seas”); Award “Song of the Year” (1999, song “I won’t forget you”); Golden Gramophone Award (2000, song “Thresholds”); Golden Gramophone Award (2003, song “A Tale in My Life”); Award “Song of the Year” (2004, song “730 days a year”); Award “Song of the Year” (2005, song “Ogonyok”); Award “Song of the Year” (2006, song “You are everything to me”).

The famous composer, musician and singer is Vladimir Kuzmin. This composer's skills in playing various musical instruments are simply amazing. Vladimir Borisovich is without a doubt a legend of Russian rock, and the same applies to the stage.
His compositions belong to such genres as synthpop, blues, and fusion rock. In addition, Kuzmin is the leader of such rock groups as “Dynamic” and “Carnival”. Thanks to such hits as “A Tale in My Life” and “Hey, Beauty” and many others that became real hits, Vladimir secured the title of legend.
Due to the fact that the musician is extremely popular, his army of fans wants to learn as much information as possible about their idol. For example, physical data - height, weight, age of Vladimir Kuzmin. At this point in time, the musician is 62 years old, weighs 75 kilograms, and height is 173 centimeters.
The musician’s fan audience is very diverse and not everyone knows what Vladimir Kuzmin was like in his youth. Photos from his youth can still be found in the public domain, although the quality of the photographic materials leaves much to be desired, but they still exist. According to the Zodiac calendar, Vladimir is a Gemini, because he was born at the very end of May.
Biography 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin
This wonderful musician was born on the last day of the month of May (31st), in 1955. At that moment, when the first screams were heard in the maternity ward, the biography of Vladimir Kuzmin began.
Mother - Kuzmina Natalya Ivanovna was a school English teacher. Father - Kuzmin Boris Grigorievich was a marine and had an officer rank.
After graduating from school at the military camp, it was decided to apply to the capital's railway institute. But studies did not work out due to the realization that Vladimir’s life belongs to music.
His musical career began when he graduated from the Dnepropetrovsk Music College. Vladimir began playing in the Nadezhda ensemble, but due to criticism from the artistic director, the musician left the group.
Subsequently, Kuzmin performed in the groups “Gems” and “Carnival”, and in 1982 the legendary “Dynamic” was created, in which he performed until 1986.
After a year of work with Alla Pugacheva, the musician revives “Dynamic” and goes to the States. And in the 90s, Vladimir returned to his homeland, where he assembled the same “Dynamic” for the third time. At the same time, Kuzmin opens a recording studio that is not inferior to those overseas and re-records his music.
Personal life 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin
The personal life of Vladimir Kuzmin is busy and rich. A separate episode in the media highlights the relationship with the Russian pop diva Alla Pugacheva. This relationship was hidden quite carefully, and all that is known is that there were tender feelings between colleagues on the stage, but creativity came first. Constant competitions in creativity, as well as many musical works were dedicated specifically to Pugacheva - that’s all that can be said on this matter.
In addition to a huge army of fans, Vladimir Kuzmin had several women with whom he tied the knot in marriage.
Family 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin
In addition to his parents, the musician has a younger brother, whose name is Alexander, and an older sister, Irina Kuzmina.
When my father was transferred to another garrison, Vladimir Kuzmin’s entire family moved from Moscow to a military town. In the future, all that is known is that Vladimir’s brother joined his musical group. After this, he lived for some time in the United States of America, but eventually returned to Russia, where he settled in the capital just like their older sister Irina. Little is known about her sister, but you can find several photographs where Irina is surrounded by her younger brothers.
Children 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin
Such a topic as the children of Vladimir Kuzmin is associated with both bright and tragic moments in his life. It is known that the musician has three children from his first marriage, but to everyone’s regret, the two eldest left this world, and the eldest daughter died a violent death.
Another tragic moment in Vladimir's life is the unnatural death of his father. Boris Grigorievich had an accident. Sharing his son’s passion for two-wheeled vehicles, the musician’s father preferred to drive motorized vehicles. At the time of the car accident, Boris Kuzmin was 86 years old.
Son 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin - Stepan
One of the musician’s eldest children was born in 1983. The son of Vladimir Kuzmin, Stepan, followed his father’s path, becoming a musician. Just like his father, the young man had a dream of making a career as a singer, he even managed to form his own group. But evil fate did not allow the guy to realize his goals and dreams.
The guy died, and this happened because of a fire caused by an unextinguished cigarette. The young man fell from a height of more than fifty meters when he tried to get out of the apartment engulfed in flames. The factor in the fall of Vladimir’s eldest son was the flimsy cornice along which he tried to move to his neighbors.
Adopted son 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin - Nikita
The child of his ex-wife Tatyana Artemyeva was not related by blood to the composer, and then he decides to adopt him. The adopted son of Vladimir Kuzmin, Nikita, was born five years later than the deceased Stepan. The guy’s life also didn’t work out, because he, in turn, got involved in one very serious scam. By court decision, Nikita was sentenced to three years in a general regime colony.
The good news for him was the consideration of an amnesty. The guy was amnestied right in the courtroom. Apart from this high-profile case, press service employees were unable to obtain more information.
Daughter 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin - Elizaveta
The eldest daughter Lisa first saw this world in 1977. At the age of twenty-five, Vladimir Kuzmin’s daughter, Elizaveta Kuzmina, died a violent death at home.
A girl living at that time in the capital of the Russian Federation was stabbed sixteen times. The girl died from excessive blood loss and damage to internal organs. When investigating the case, the police, having reached a dead end, were unable to find the identities of those who committed such a terrible crime. And on one of the walls in the apartment it was written “The Matrix has you”, which means: “You are stuck in the Matrix” - a quote from the film, then still by the Wachowski brothers, The Matrix.
Daughter 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin - Sonya
Regarding the youngest daughter of our hero, there is negligible information from the consecrated press. The daughter of Vladimir Kuzmin, Sonya, is the youngest daughter among the children from the singer’s first marriage, and the girl is also the only living daughter from the same marriage.
Sonya was born in 1985. Deciding to follow in the footsteps of her star parent, she became a singer, the public realized this when the girl got involved in a project called “Star Factory”. This was the third season of a Russian television music project to support young performers. There is no more information about the musician’s daughter in the public domain, and even if there is, it is only at the level of rumors, gossip and possible discussions.
Illegitimate daughters 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin - Nicole and Martha
The period from 1985 to 1987 was very eventful for the musician; in those years, Vladimir gave birth to two girls. Vladimir Kuzmin’s illegitimate daughters – Nicole and Martha, whom the musician admitted were born from different women. Martha was born on International Women's Day - March 8, 1986. Actually, that’s why the girl was named “Martha.” The girl’s mother is Irina Miltsina, that’s all the information about Marta.
Another daughter born out of wedlock is Nicole. The girl was raised and raised by her grandmother, who lived in the American “City of Angels”. The composer learned about the existence of his daughter only 26 years after the girl’s birth.
Ex-wife 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin - Tatyana Artemyeva
The musician has a unique ability to charm women, and therefore he tied himself to marriage more than once. The first ex-wife of Vladimir Kuzmin is Tatyana Artemyeva. The woman was an excellent poetess, thanks to this, not a single text was written for Vladimir’s songs.
The couple lived together for almost a decade and over the years, they had three children. And the reason for the breakup was problems in everyday life, as well as the musician’s addiction to alcoholic beverages. Tatyana is not at all angry with her ex-husband, in fact, like his other women.
Ex-wives 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin - Kelly Curzon and Vera Sotnikova
The next marriage relationship of the famous musician lasted only two years. The next marriage partner was American top model Kelly Curzon. Apart from this, nothing more is known.
Vera Sotnikova is the third wife of the legendary composer. It is worth noting the fact that the third marriage became civil. Vera is closely connected with the world of cinema, as she was an actress and also a presenter on television. After seven years of marriage, the couple decides to separate. The ex-wives of Vladimir Kuzmin, Kelly Curzon and Vera Sotnikova, are not at all angry with their ex-husband.
Wife 👉 of Vladimir Kuzmin - Ekaterina Trofimova
This is already the fourth marriage for the composer and it is worth noting that he is very happy in it. Vladimir Kuzmin’s wife, Ekaterina Trofimova, is twenty-seven years younger than her husband, but this fact did not become an obstacle in their life. The couple loves each other very much.
Another love of Vladimir is love with alcoholic drinks, because of which family ties were under great threat, even on the verge of destruction, but despite this, his young beloved is still close to the composer.
There are many rumors about plastic surgeries that Vladimir had done so that his face would not be wrinkled and he would at least somewhat match the image of his wife.
Instagram and Wikipedia 👉 Vladimir Kuzmin
When bringing up the topic of the composer’s media presence, one cannot say much. Instagram and Wikipedia of Vladimir Kuzmin are a twofold thing. Thanks to his merits and acquired fame, the composer has his own page in the free Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia. But on the photo sharing service Instagram, you cannot find the musician’s profile, since it simply does not exist.
But he has an account on Twitter, where you can find fresh photographic materials from Vladimir’s creative life, as well as exclusive videos. In addition, anyone can ask questions or leave a wish for the celebrity.
In June 2018, it became known that 63-year-old Vladimir Kuzmin broke up with his wife Katya, they had lived together for 17 years. The age difference between the former spouses is 27 years. When they met, he was 45 and she was 18 years old. The acquaintance took place on the beach, the artist was painting Katya’s portrait, Vladimir was noisily relaxing in the company of close friends in a cafe before the next concert. Katya decided to take Kuzmin’s autograph, went up to his table, the musician was amazed by her beauty. At that time, she was just a girl, she collected calendars, among the copies were cats and dogs and only one calendar with a human face, this face was the face of Vladimir Kuzmin. I myself collected calendars for a long time, and in those days when Katya Trofimova first met Vladimir Kuzmin, I was seriously interested in the works of this musician, I had all his cassettes and records, I listened to his songs every day for many hours, I knew them everything by heart. Katya Trofimova met Vladimir Kuzmin in 2000, and that same year I was at his concert, his new album “Networks” had just been released, during a break between songs I went up on stage and took an autograph, even kissed my idol on the cheek, gave some flower bought with my small scholarship, it was in Minsk. I went to the concert with a sore throat. Or rather, I urgently recovered so as not to miss Vladimir Kuzmin’s performance. The prospect was this - either to overcome follicular tonsillitis and go to a concert, or to rush to the hospital and be treated there, I naturally chose the brilliant singing of Vladimir Kuzmin. At that time, I had a vague idea of what was going on in the artist’s life, but I still heard out of the corner of my ear that he had met his new muse. Yes! Their meeting took place in 1999! At that time, Vladimir Kuzmin had two official marriages, one civil marriage, a high-profile affair with Alla Pugacheva and a lot of love stories. Vladimir Kuzmin produced five children by the age of 46. But Katya Trofimova sincerely fell in love, she is only two years younger than me. I would also lose my head if Vladimir Kuzmin started to fool me. But Katya Trofimova is a gorgeous blonde, her muse is a dream girl, and I’m just an ordinary provincial girl. Marriage of Vladimir and Katya,by the standards of the creative world of artists,was long. Vladimir Kuzmin claimed that before Katya he did not love anyone, that is, at the age of 45, such a bright feeling came over him for the first time; if before for the artist music was in the first place, now there was a place for his beloved. At the age of 19, Katya Trofimova became the wife of 46-year-old Vladimir Kuzmin. Ekaterina was an excellent wife: she went on tour with her husband, supported him in the most difficult periods of his life, because during the years of their marriage, Vladimir had to endure the deaths of four people dear to him: his parents and two children.
But everything comes to an end, and Kuzmin’s third marriage broke up. The famous artist today is hardly alone, young girls are always hovering around him, and Katya will not be left alone with her beauty and incredible femininity. And I suggest you look at photographs of Vladimir Kuzmin, as well as all his wives and children. As the saying goes. Sit back, there will be a lot of photos!
This is how Katya Trofimova (Kuzmina) was in childhood.

Vladimir Kuzmin and his second wife, American Kelly Curzon, were together for only two years.
Vladimir Borisovich Kuzmin (born May 31, 1955, Moscow) is a Russian rock musician, multi-instrumentalist, rock vocalist, and songwriter. People's Artist of Russia (2011). Since 1983, for more than 20 years, Vladimir Kuzmin has released about 20 albums and written more than 200 songs, many of which were performed by him together with the musicians of the group “Dynamic”.
The singer hasn’t been performing much lately, and now I saw his name again on the December poster in our city. I am very glad that Vladimir Kuzmin managed to recover from what happened in his life.
A fire broke out in the apartment of the son of a popular singer on Academician Pilyugin Street on Sunday morning. As investigators later found out, the cause of the fire turned out to be trivial - an unextinguished cigarette thrown near the sofa.
“And there was no fire,” eyewitnesses assure. - Only smoke poured out of the window - thick, black.
Then a completely naked guy appeared in the same window. Apparently, he was afraid that he was cut off from leaving the apartment by fire and tried to escape by making his way along the ledge to the neighboring apartment. But he broke loose and flew down...
“At that moment, my husband and I were drinking coffee in the kitchen, when suddenly a man flew outside the window,” Tatyana, Kuzmin’s neighbor from below, recalls with horror. - We rushed to the window and looked: the satellite dish was shaking, and Styopa was lying on the ground.
Firefighters and an ambulance were already on their way to the scene. Firefighters dealt with the fire quickly. The doctors could only confirm the death of the young man.

DEATH OF THE ELDER DAUGHTER
Stepan's death is the second great grief in the family of the famous rock performer. Earlier, in December 2002, his 24-year-old daughter from his first marriage to poetess Tatyana Artemyeva was killed in Moscow. The body of Elizaveta Kuzmina was found in an apartment on Seslavinskaya Street. As investigators reported at the time, the girl’s cause of death was a stab wound to the neck. Very soon the main suspect in the murder was identified - Lisa's 18-year-old boyfriend Vladimir. At the first interrogation, he admitted that he killed her during a quarrel.
In addition to Elizaveta and Stepan, the musician is survived by three more children: daughters Sophia and Marta and son Nikita.
Sister Sophia, by the way, a graduate of “Star Factory-3” lived in the apartment next to Stepa’s on the 18th floor.
Third misfortune. The adopted son of singer Vladimir Kuzmin, Nikita Kuzmin, became a defendant in a major scam, the damage from which amounted to at least $50 million. The Manhattan Southern District Attorney's Office charged Nikita Kuzmin and his accomplices with computer fraud, illegal financial transactions and money laundering. He now faces up to 97 years in prison.
We wish the talented singer and musician Vladimir Kuzmin to recover from all the misfortunes that happened to his children and once again plunge into his creativity, which brings joy to all people.
From childhood, he knew for sure that music would become not only his profession, but also the meaning of his whole life. Vladimir Kuzmin believed: fame, recognition, money and women are secondary. He married early, but always considered himself not cut out for family life. His women were rich, famous and successful, but the moment came when he wanted the simplest human happiness. Without the glare of spotlights, camera flashes and obsessive attention.
Early marriage
He met Tatyana Artemyeva at the age of 20. The pretty girl did not immediately reciprocate the feelings of the future rock star. For a long time he sought her attention, even spent the night in her entrance.
They got married when Vladimir was 22 years old. Soon their first child was born - daughter Lisa, in 1983 Stepan was born, and three years later - Sonya.
However, by the time the youngest daughter was born, it was clear that their relationship had long since outlived its usefulness. Despite the fact that Tatyana fully shared Kuzmin’s passion for music, even wrote poetry for him, they never managed to build a real family.
The musician always admitted that he was not meant to be a good husband and father; he had a completely different purpose in life: music. In 1985, the couple divorced. After the divorce, Tatyana had a son, Nikita, but according to the woman, his father was not Vladimir Kuzmin at all.
Two stars
The musician’s musical career was developing very successfully at that time. The group he created, “Dynamic,” enjoyed incredible popularity.
At that time, Alla Pugacheva needed to prepare a rock performance for showing at a foreign festival. She herself had never performed such compositions, so she turned to familiar musicians for help. And they, in turn, recommended Vladimir Kuzmin to her.
This is how their acquaintance began, which very quickly turned into a romantic relationship.
Their creative union turned out to be very fruitful, and the song “Two Stars” became the calling card of their duet. Alla Borisovna helped her lover file for a divorce; they had certain plans for their future together.
But at the peak of his fame, Vladimir Kuzmin suddenly decides to leave for America. Later he admits that the reason was that incredible fame, which suddenly began to interfere with his normal life. He could hardly bear his increased popularity; the excessive attention of fans tired him.
American love
His younger brother and several other musicians went with him to America. They worked their butts off: every day they had a four-hour concert at a nightclub in California. For the first 45 minutes they performed their music, then there was a 15-minute break and three more sections - they played compositions by Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and other masters of rock and roll.
On the wave of American drive, he fell in love again. This time his chosen one was model Kelly Curzon. The romance was fast-paced and passionate. When the musician decided to return to Russia, his lover followed him. They got married in Moscow.
But their marriage lasted only a couple of years. Kelly Curzon's father was categorically against his daughter's relationship with the Russian, and was still able to insist on their breakup, threatening to leave her without an inheritance.
Happy co-creation
They met at a New Year's party on January 19, 1993 and almost immediately began to live together. For the sake of her beloved, the actress abandoned all her projects and began to accompany Vladimir Kuzmin everywhere. Afterwards she became the director of videos for his songs.
However, this union also came to an end. When the actress realized that the relationship between them had long ceased to be as passionate as in the beginning, and Kuzmin was spending more and more time without her, she left first.
In addition to long-term relationships, there were several short-term romances in the musician’s life, as a result of which his daughters Martha and Nicole were born. We must pay tribute to Vladimir Kuzmin: he never refused to help his children, and continues to do so now, when they have long grown up.
"You're a fairy tale of my life…"
For several years he lived alone until he met his last love, Katya. He saw the artist drawing her portrait, and she, seeing Vladimir Kuzmin, ran up to ask for an autograph. He literally fell in love at first sight. A year later they got married.
They have been together for 16 years, despite incessant rumors about their imminent separation. It fell to Katya to become a support for her loved one when he experienced the death of his children. In 2002, his eldest daughter Lisa was killed, and in 2009, his son Stepan jumped out of the window of his apartment, trying to escape from a fire that broke out. She was simply there and even her silence helped to relieve the unbearable pain of loss. Thanks to Katya, he became a real exemplary family man. As the singer himself says, true love just came into his life.
He never dedicated songs to his women, and gave Katya his romantic composition “You are a fairy tale in my life” for her wedding. They live secluded lives and do not like to give interviews or appear in front of cameras. They just enjoy the opportunity to be together all the time.
At one time, Alla Pugacheva played a huge role in his life. However, this woman continues to be real
