Lydia Taran told the truth about her divorce from Domansky. Famous TV presenter Lydia Taran Lydia Taran and Andrey

Who turned 42 today, September 19, in an exclusive interview with Caravan of Stories, she openly spoke about her personal life and admitted that love and family are now more important to her than her career, and she wants to get married and have another child.

I recently read an interesting article about how human memory works. From very early childhood, only the most vivid and emotional moments are remembered. For example, I remember how, when I was one and a half years old, I was running along the street of the town of Znamenka, Kirovograd region, where my grandmother lived, running to meet my parents, who had come out of Kyiv to visit me. I spent the summer with my grandmother. I also remember how my grandmother baptized me in secret from my parents, as many grandmothers did. In Kyiv, this topic was generally taboo, but in the villages, grandmothers quietly baptized their grandchildren.

There was no church in Znamenka, there were almost none left at that time, so my grandmother took me to a neighboring area on a completely packed rural bus, and there, right in the priest’s hut, which also served as a church, the sacrament took place. I remember this old hut, the buffet, which served as an iconostasis, the priest in a cassock; I remember how he put an aluminum cross on me. But I was only a little over two years old. But these were unusual impressions, which is why they remained in my memory.

There are also inspired memories: when your relatives constantly tell you what kind of child you were, it really seems to you that you remember it yourself. Mom often recalled how my brother Makar scared me very much, and with the best intentions. Makar is three years older and has always taken care of me. One day he brought an apple from kindergarten and gave it to me, and I was still a toothless baby. My brother did not know that a small child cannot bite off an apple, so he put the whole apple in my mouth, and when my mother entered the room, I was already losing consciousness. Sometimes, when for some reason I feel short of breath, it seems to me that I really remember this moment, these sensations.

Now my brother teaches history at Shevchenko University, organized an office there to study Chinese, and at the same time created a department of American studies; He is my very advanced brother - a teacher and a researcher at the same time. On set, young journalists, his former students, often come up to me and ask me to say hello to “beloved Makar Anatolyevich.” Makar is so smart that he speaks fluent Chinese, French and English, has studied the entire world history - from ancient civilizations to the modern history of Latin America, and has trained in Taiwan, China, and the USA! Moreover, all the opportunities for this - grants and travel programs - he “knocks out” for himself. As they say, in a family there must be someone smart and someone beautiful, and I know exactly which of the two of us is smart. Although Makar is handsome too.

When I was little, I adored my brother and imitated him in everything. She spoke about herself in the masculine gender: “he went,” “he did.” And also – no longer of her own free will – she wore his things. In those days, few could afford to dress a child the way they wanted and the way they liked. And if you have an older sister, then you will get her dresses, and if you have a brother, then pants. And so the mothers tried to sew and alter them. Our mother often altered something old, inventing new styles.

I remember being taken home from kindergarten on a sled through the creaking snow, I remember snowflakes swirling in the light of the streetlights. The sled had no back, so you had to hold on with your hands so as not to fall out when turning. Sometimes, on the contrary, I wanted to fall into a snowdrift, but in a fur coat I was so clumsy and heavy that I couldn’t even roll off the sled. A fur coat, leggings, felt boots... The kids were like cabbage back then: a thick woolen sweater, knitted by someone unknown and when, thick leggings, felt boots; it is unclear from whom one of my acquaintances gave away a hundred-fold tsigey fur coat, over the collar there is a scarf tied at the back so that adults can grab its ends like a leash; On top of the hat there was also a down scarf, which was also tied around the throat. All Soviet children remember the feeling of winter suffocation from scarves and shawls. You go outside like a robot. But you immediately forget about the discomfort and enthusiastically go digging snow, breaking icicles or gluing your tongue to the frozen iron of the swing. A completely different world.

Your parents were creative people: your mother was a journalist, your father was a writer and screenwriter... Probably, your life was still at least a little different from the lives of other Soviet children?

Mom worked as a journalist in the Komsomol press. She often traveled on her reporting duties, then wrote, and in the evenings she typed articles on a typewriter. There were two in the house - a huge “Ukraina” and a portable GDR “Erika”, which in fact was also quite large.

My brother and I, as we were going to bed, heard the machine whirring in the kitchen. If my mother was very tired, she would ask us to dictate to her. Makar and I took a ruler to trace the lines, sat next to each other and dictated, but soon we began to nod off. And my mother typed all night long - her articles, my father’s scripts or translations.

Lydia Taran is one of the most prominent representatives of the world of Ukrainian television, who managed to build an impressive career, not forgetting about her beauty or her family. How did she do it? Let's find out together!

Lydia Taran is one of the few women on Ukrainian television who have been able to firmly establish themselves in the profession for many years and continue to be one of the most sought-after presenters in the media industry. It is impossible to imagine the 1+1 TV channel without the pretty blonde, who hosted Breakfast, news, and sports programs, becoming the real “face” of the TV channel.

Nationality: Ukrainian

Citizenship: Ukraine

Activity: TV presenter

Family status: unmarried, has a daughter, Vasilina (born in 2007)

Biography

Lida was born in Kyiv in 1977 into a family of journalists. Her parents were constantly away from home, which is why Lida hated journalism and her mom and dad’s work as a child. Due to the fact that the family did not pay enough attention to her, Lida began to skip school. Unlike other “truants” who wandered around the courtyards, the girl spent her “free” time from school usefully: she sat for hours in the reading room of the library located not far from her house and read books.

Despite absenteeism, Taran graduated from school with good grades, although this did not help her enter the Faculty of International Relations. The girl didn’t know where to go instead and chose the most obvious option - journalism. When the parents found out that their daughter had followed in their footsteps, the father said that he would not help her “out of acquaintance” and that she would have to achieve everything herself.

And Lida accepted the challenge and coped with everything on her own! Even while studying at the Institute of Journalism of KNU named after. T.G. Shevchenko, she worked part-time on the radio, and then she was quite unexpectedly invited to television. The building next to the radio station housed the studio of the New Channel, and Taran asked a passing worker where she could find out about available vacancies. So, at just 21 years old, Lida began working on one of the national channels of Ukraine.

Lida was always interested in sports and wanted to work in sports news. Quite by chance, Andrei Kulikov, one of the most famous television journalists in the country, returned to the capital, and Taran was paired with him. According to Lida, at that time she felt so happy that she was ready to work practically for free. And when Lida found out that I would pay her decent money for the broadcast, she knew no bounds to her happiness. On the New Channel, Lida managed to work in the projects “Reporter”, “Sportreporter”, “Pidyom” and “Gol”.

From 2005 to 2009, Lydia Taran worked as a news anchor on Channel 5 (“New Hour”)

In 2009, Lida moved to channel 1+1, where she hosted such popular programs as “Breakfast” and “I Love Ukraine.” Later she became a participant in the popular project “I Dance for You” and the winner of the prestigious Teletriumph television award. Lydia was a presenter on TSN, and also worked on channel 2+2 in the ProFutbol program.

It is very important for Taran to try herself in something new and interesting, so she does not classify herself as one of those presenters who work in only one direction for 10-20 years, for example, leading a news block, but always strive to gain new experience and learn something else.

In recent months, Lydia Taran has been the curator of the large charity project “Make Your Dream Come True” and devotes her time to making the dreams of seriously ill children come true, for whom every day they live is a miracle.

Personal life

After a dizzying career on television, an equally stormy and discussed affair followed with a colleague and TV presenter Andrei Domansky. The presenters lived together for about five years, but never registered their relationship. In 2007, they had a daughter, whom her parents named Vasilina.

Lida communicated with Andrei for a long time when he was still married to his first wife, but only after he broke up with her did Taran decide to have a relationship. Everyone admired their couple, considering them ideal, so their unexpected separation came as a real shock to many.

Andrey did not turn out to be the “one” for Lida who comes into life once and for all, being the first to decide to break off the relationship. Lida took the breakup hard and was very offended by Andrey at first, but found the strength to look at this situation from the other side. Later in an interview, the TV presenter said that she thanked fate for meeting Domansky and for the fact that he gave her a daughter, Vasilina.

“The only thing I know about his personal life is that it is wonderful,” from his own interview. Now he looks free and happy. Maybe at some stage he was burdened by our relationship, he wanted something new, unknown and could not afford it... Now we have an even relationship, as Andrey says, on the “father-mother” plane and they do not include any interest in personal each other's lives."

Now Lydia is focused on her daughter and career success, but also does not forget to devote time to hobbies and entertainment. Lida had boyfriends several times, but she is in no hurry to share the details of her personal life and does not advertise it in any way.

“My present is Vasyusha, me and my mother”

Makar and I took a ruler to trace the lines, sat next to each other and dictated, but soon we began to nod off. And my mother typed all night long - her articles, my father’s scripts or translations.

Andrei Domansky and Lydia Taran broke up after five years of marriage. “This can’t be!” - they said in television circles after Andrei frankly admitted that he had left the family a few months ago. For colleagues, this news came like a bolt from the blue. After all, the couple was considered almost an example to follow: both work in the same field and, it seems, should understand each other like no one else. But life makes its own adjustments...

“At the last stage of our relationship and after its end, I had serious problems with self-esteem,” Lida admits. - I thought: God, how wrong I lived, since all these years I was building a family, and at 32 I received a kick that showed me that the structure of my life had collapsed in an instant! After the breakup
I lost 9 kg. I had no appetite, I didn’t want anything...”

- Lida, when there was talk about your separation, they were considered a bad joke, gossip of envious people... Anything but the truth. After all, in the eyes of the public, you were an ideal family.

Yes, everything happened in an instant. Usually you are told about this when everything is really destroyed. And before that, I thought that everything was fine. We were a media family, and it seemed to me that we should have been understanding about the peculiarities of our work. Andrey’s career took off at a rapid pace, and in parallel with my main activity, I started a dance project. After everyday work, I managed to run the house, raise a child and thought: everything is fine... Until the first of January I found out that our family was no more.

- Not the best gift from Santa Claus...

Yes, I received it on the first day of 2010. For six months, Andrey and I prepared a detailed ski trip. They left the child with their grandmother - before that we worked around the clock and dreamed that we would get into the car and drive across Europe to Italy to ski. Over the course of four years, these trips have become a tradition in our family. But on January 1, in Lvov, Andrei said that he would not go further - he urgently needed to return to Kyiv and be alone.

Since our friends with whom we planned this train trip were waiting for us early in the morning in Lviv, I had to ask Andrey not to shock them and pay off the Schengen visa with us, cross the border, and then return to Kyiv under the pretext of work.

I tried to talk, offered to stay in another hotel... But from his appearance it was noticeable that he did not intend to relax with me. As a result, we finally made it to Italy. And the next day Andrei returned to Kyiv. I couldn't help it. I was stressed, shocked, panicked... Ridiculous arguments about how we had been preparing for this for so long, leaving the child behind, and in general, what would I do alone now if this vacation was planned for two, had no effect on him. While still getting ready for this trip, I saw that Andrey was distracted by his telephone life, withdrawing into himself, and offered to talk. But he stood his ground: “Everything is fine!” As a result, I was left alone in Italy. And, in fact, upon returning to Kyiv it all ended.

- And how did you explain to mutual friends that you are no longer one family?

This was the most difficult thing in this situation. Many did not believe, some tried to reconcile us. But still we avoided tedious showdowns. Andrey's circle of acquaintances has changed. He used to like to communicate himself
with himself, and now, due to professional demand, he does not need a large circle of friends at all.

- So much time has passed since the breakup. Have you really never had a normal conversation?

There was no truthful dialogue. At first it’s generally difficult to explain. Emotions, complaints... When such a tangle gathers, people cannot adequately talk. And then it turns out that no one needs it for a long time.

At first, Andrei announced that he wanted to rent an apartment and live alone, because we couldn’t live together. “Probably yes,” I answered. “Since you made such a decision.”

But men have a rule: if they decide something, they want to share the responsibility for it with someone else. He realized that he could not live with me, but I had to make the decision. This is an “absentee ballot” for a man: “You said it yourself!”

- You broke up in the winter, but continued to work together. How did you manage to keep the breakup a secret for so long?

We had a number of events where we were invited together before the New Year. Already living separately, we had no right to refuse them... It was, of course, inconvenient. But this is work.

But no one knew anything because we didn’t advertise. They even asked the press services of our channels not to say anything. And it worked.

Then Andrei himself told me that his press service had long been writing in the “marital status” column: “Single. Raises three children." I asked: “So, I can also say that I am single and raising a daughter?” “Apparently, yes,” Andrey answered. We decided on this.

Lida, men sometimes experience something similar to remorse. Andrey didn’t come to you with similar confessions?

Typically, serious relationships rarely experience this. I thought that we were many years old, we had seen a lot, experienced different periods. But Andrei is one of those people who cannot hide their relationship. If he fell in love, it means he wants to be with this person...

Your feminine curiosity did not waver; you didn’t want to find out who the stranger was who broke your family happiness?

I didn’t even make any special inquiries. I hear gossip, but I am not inclined to believe the world of show business. I am already calm, and Andrey looks like a happy man who lives for his own pleasure. But he has changed. I look at him and understand that five years ago I started a relationship with a completely different person. He just has his own priorities now, not family ones.

- Did you have any suspicions that your husband has another woman?

Of course there were. At the age of 35-36, men experience crises in their lives, and a woman who lives with such a man thinks that all his hobbies are a temporary phenomenon, because love is a great power. And the most ridiculous thing is to ask what is happening. Nobody will tell anyway. When I asked him directly, he denied everything. No, I had, of course, some feminine premonitions. Well, then I thought: why do I need to know this? I needed to save my life...

The only thing I know about his personal life is that it is wonderful - from his own interview. Now he looks free and happy. Maybe at some stage he was burdened by our relationship, wanted something new, unknown and could not afford it...

Now we have an even relationship, as Andrey says, on the “father-mother” plane. And they do not include interest in each other's personal lives.

- Why haven’t you reached the registry office in five years of civil marriage?

Andrei’s first marriage was official, and he emphasized that he would never marry again in his life. Since I wanted to be with him, I accepted this condition. When I was pregnant, I wanted to get officially married. A woman expecting a child turns into a vulnerable substance. This happens even to the strongest women in the world...

But that was just my desire. Even when Andrei made attempts to somehow “renew” his feelings, I jokingly asked: “Then will you marry me?” He answered: “No, I will never marry again!”

Lida, I understand how difficult it is to talk about this, but how did you explain to your daughter that dad will no longer live with you?

At first I told Vasya that dad had left, he had a lot of work, filming on location... The most important thing, when the father leaves and the daughter understands that he seems to be there, but he is not, is to explain to her where he is, because he remains her beloved dad . I had to visit a child psychologist so that she could convince me that everything was fine with Vasya.

Now Vasya and Andrey see each other several times a month: I buy tickets to the theater and ask him to go with my daughter, or he just comes to us, and they play at home for a while.

But for fathers, everything is different - an hour is enough for them to satisfy their paternal needs and continue to go about their lives. Once every two weeks I can send Andrey a photo of Vasya. And he texts that he will come with the money the day after tomorrow. Or: “I’m abroad now, what size is Vasya’s clothes?”

- Thanks to your tact and feminine wisdom, did you manage to maintain a good relationship with your husband?

I treat him well as the father of my only daughter. He gave me the best thing that every woman can have - a child.

Our personal relationship deteriorated, but we resolved the financial issue amicably: we discussed the amount that Andrei allocates for his daughter. He pays honestly, and I spend money honestly on the child. With this money, Vasya attends developmental and sports classes. And I make a great living for myself.

My present is Vasyusha, me and my mother. My mother lives with us, because I get up for work every morning at four in the morning, and there are no overnight kindergartens where I can send a three-year-old child in Kyiv. And for several months now, we have been really good and comfortable. I have always supported myself, now I do too, and I feel like a self-sufficient person. I understand that this may not be for life, but for now I just enjoy it. So the breakup was not the end of the world for me, but the beginning of a new life.

- Well, there’s definitely no doubt about it. One of the most successful TV presenters couldn't have it any other way.

You know, I have so much work that I don’t even have time to think about it. I’m now torn between two programs at once: “Snidanok from “1+1” and “About Football Show” on the “2+2” channel. The channel's management asked me to return to a topic that I had not dealt with for a good five years after working at Channel 5. In “Snidanka” I host news and guest studios every hour.

Sometimes there are so many guests that it’s not easy for Ruslan Senichkin (my on-air co-host) alone. And on Mondays I host the “About Football Show” program, which airs late in the evening and ends late at night. It is intended for a narrow circle of people, mainly a male audience. All the football stars visited. And at the last program, I sadly thought: if my father (an avid football fan) were alive, he would be happy to see me in this role.

- Can you find time to relax in this mode?

This is difficult. It appears on the Friday after broadcast and ends on Sunday. These days I love to travel. True, few flights are suitable for one day. But sometimes you manage to get somewhere. In the summer I flew alone to Europe for 6 days. I managed to discover and fall in love with previously unknown Belgium - along with Brussels, Bruges and Ghent. In the fall, I decided to meet my “two troikas” in the Caucasus, in the mountains. Therefore, the program editor and I urgently flew to Tbilisi. As a result, we didn’t have time to get to the mountains themselves, but the birthday in the Kakheti Valley, right on the vineyard with an amazing view of the Caucasus mountain range, was a great success.

- Vasilina, looking at her successful mother, does not strive to enter the television world?

She is a self-sufficient person. And at three years old she clearly knows what she wants, she has her own list of priorities. But she is not infected with television fever and can easily switch to cartoons when she sees me on TV in the morning. So far, given her young age, she simply cannot carry on a conversation, but I think she will soon begin to make serious comments on my work.

- What does the strong woman Lydia Taran lack today for complete happiness?

Get a full 8 hours of sleep! (Laughs) I have grandiose plans for the future: I want to change my wardrobe, improve my English, which is still lame compared to French. I also dream of taking courses or seminars in psychology.

The new peak that I have taken is my mother. I left my parents and became independent at the age of 17. And at 33, she invited her mother to live with her. She pampers my daughter and me with original cuisine. Before, we couldn’t even think that she could cook something like this.

In general, every person needs turns in order to understand that life is much broader, and it does not narrow down to the state: “He is and what is around Him.” There is a lot of life without this. You can be truly happy with your mother and daughter. This New Year I will celebrate again at the ski resort, but I am going to engage in skiing, not self-criticism. In general, I expect a completely different, high-quality year from the coming New Year.
