Dmitry Shepelev and his new girlfriend after Zhanna: photo. The personal driver of the Friske family told the whole truth about Shepelev’s duplicity Year of birth of Dmitry Shepelev

The personal life of the Belarusian handsome man Dmitry Shepelev has always worried women. A charming guy smiling from the TV screen has excited more than one girl’s heart. The future TV presenter met his first love at school: his desk neighbor Katya Kolesnikova became Dima’s first girlfriend. But due to filming in a Belarusian youth series, the aspiring actor did not pay enough attention to the girl, and the couple broke up.

Shepelev had a serious affair during his student years. For 7 years he dated Anna Startseva. The romance ended with a wedding... Three weeks after the wedding, the newlyweds divorced, and Dima left for Kyiv.

Love story of Zhanna and Dmitry

Rumors that Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske began dating appeared in 2012. At first, the showman did not admit this and answered reporters that his relationship with the singer was just PR. And fans imagined next to the luxurious Jeanne not a young boy, but a respectable and wealthy man.

After some time, the paparazzi noticed the singer’s rounded belly - and the couple stopped hiding their relationship.

As it turned out, Zhanna and Dima met on the set of the musical television program “Property of the Republic.” The singer immediately liked the charismatic presenter, despite the fact that he was almost 10 years younger than her. Fans were worried about the question: will there be a wedding? In one of the candid interviews with OK! the TV presenter said that he was in no hurry to put a new stamp in his passport, since his previous marriage ended unsuccessfully.

Zhanna Friske never hid that she was ready to leave her career for the sake of her beloved man. Having learned about her pregnancy, she began to speak less frequently, did not appear at social events, and then disappeared from the press for a while. In April 2013, Zhanna gave birth to a son, Plato. But after the joyful event, a sad one almost immediately came: the doctors gave the singer a terrible diagnosis - an inoperable brain tumor.


Shepelev was torn between the hospital where Zhanna was lying and work, trying to find funds for expensive treatment. Many fans of the singer were annoyed by Shepelev’s Instagram, in which Dmitry posted “major” photographs from filming and festive events. In an interview, Shepelev admitted that work is his “lifeline”; it allows him to escape at least a little from the difficult reality.

Until the last moment, Dmitry believed that Zhanna would recover. He said that on the singer’s birthday he proposed his hand and heart to her. The couple dreamed of a beautiful wedding when the disease subsided. The lovers even exchanged rings, and from then on Shepelev called Friske his wife. The struggle for life lasted for almost two years. Unfortunately, Zhanna was unable to defeat cancer.

Why Shepelev did not have time to say goodbye to Zhanna

Shepelev was not around in the last days of the life of his beloved woman; he took his son on vacation to Bulgaria. After the sad news, the showman was hit with a barrage of reproaches: Jeanne’s fans couldn’t understand why he wasn’t with his dying wife? Shepelev later said that he wanted to protect his little son from negative impressions, so he took him to a resort. Having learned the terrible news, he waited in Bulgaria for his father to arrive to stay with his grandson. Therefore, Shepelev was not at the farewell ceremony for the singer in Crocus City; he only managed to come to the funeral. Immediately after the funeral, Shepelev returned to Bulgaria to Plato.


Personal life of Dmitry Shepelev after the death of Friske

After Jeanne's death, the showman withdrew into himself, not wanting to give interviews or comments to the press. He only noticed that his relationship with his wife was ideal:

“We were with Zhanna both in joy and in sadness. Zhanna and I were both in health and in illness. This is exactly the relationship that humanity preaches. You can dream about it, but you can live like this.”

Shepelev’s acquaintances are extremely concerned about the singer’s psychological state. TV presenter Andrei Malakhov spoke about a chance meeting with Dmitry at the Moscow airport. According to Malakhov, Dmitry began to look like an exhausted gray-haired man with a beard. He was with Plato, whom he was again taking to Bulgaria. Shepelev told Malakhov that he wanted to get away from gossip and everything that reminded him of the tragedy.

Where is Shepelev today?

Russian producer Evgeny Fridlyand said that he met Dmitry Shepelev and Plato in the Bulgarian city of Ravda at the Emerald Beach Resort and Spa. Plato constantly held dad’s hand and did not want to let go for a minute. Fridlyand called Plato a real hero and said that Dmitry was holding on with all his might. According to the producer, Shepelev deliberately does not go online or watch TV, trying to protect his nerves from negative comments and a sea of ​​articles about Zhanna’s death. The showman will stay in Bulgaria with his son for a few more weeks; he does not announce his future plans.

Dmitry Shepelev is a young Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian TV presenter and radio program host. Dmitry was born in Minsk, the capital of Belarus. His father was a programmer, and his mother worked as an accountant.

Dima grew up as a sporty boy, he began attending sports clubs at the age of 6, playing water polo, swimming, and then quite seriously playing tennis. In this sport, he achieved impressive results, in particular, he became one of the 10 best tennis players in Belarus among juniors.

At school, more precisely at the Minsk gymnasium, I studied well and diligently. He started working part-time while still in 7th grade and got a job distributing leaflets. A year later, the father invited his son to practice developing computer programs at his company. Dima successfully completed all the tasks assigned to him, for which he received a well-deserved salary. In general, he liked working at his father’s company.

As for school communication, despite his cheerful, benevolent disposition, Dmitry approached the choice of friends responsibly and was not friends with everyone, and did not become close friends with any of his classmates. In his studies he focused on humanitarian subjects and was not interested in school amateur activities.

In the 9th grade, Dmitry’s classmate suggested that he and his company go to the casting of a youth talk show on the Belarusian channel 5x5, where they were recruiting extras. They looked at Dmitry and took him on as the host of the show. This was the first breakthrough. The program was shown on screens 4 times a week, the guy became popular in his homeland. And what can we say about his status in the class! He recalls that the girls literally fought over him, even dividing over who would carry his briefcase. As for his extracurricular life, pleasant bonuses awaited him here too, for example, he was allowed to skip the line at stores.

Carier start

The young man did not have to worry about choosing a future profession; immediately after school he entered the BSU Faculty of Journalism, and at the same time began studying at the Minsk School of TV Presenters.

At first he continued to work on the 5x5 channel, after some time he was offered a position as a DJ at the local radio station Alfa Radio. Working in two places at once, Dmitry was forced to miss classes at the university, which is why they tried to expel him twice, but he still graduated from the university, and with honors.

Shepelev was not limited to working at just one radio station; he soon began hosting and producing a morning show on the Unistar radio station; he was trusted to interview foreign stars of the first magnitude who visited Belarus with concerts. The energetic young man even managed to work part-time as an entertainer in nightclubs in Minsk, earning $25 in one night.

Even before Dmitry graduated from the university, he received an invitation from Kyiv to work on the M1 music channel as the host of the morning show “Guten Morgen”. This did not happen by chance; Shepelev already understood then that he had grown professionally enough in Belarus and did not see any special prospects on Belarusian television. That is why he sent his video to a Ukrainian music channel, after which he was invited to work on it.

Dmitry Shepelev on the set of the program

The young man had to be torn between two capitals for several years. In Kyiv, he lived not far from the television center in an apartment allocated to him, but the money he earned from M1 was not enough to live on, so living in two cities was forced, although it benefited his career.

In 2008, Dmitry began hosting another program on Ukrainian television - the talent show “Star Factory 2”. It was with her that he rose to the peak of popularity in Ukraine, after which he was invited to lead two more projects. Now he no longer had time to travel to Minsk, and he settled in Kyiv.

But he did not stop thinking about the future prospects and began to aim at the central Moscow channels. And he succeeded; one day he was invited to host a new program on Channel One, “Can You? Sing!” The ratings of the program were not high, since the format was similar to “Guess the Melody,” but the comparison with Valdis Pelsh was clearly not in Dmitry’s favor. However, he managed to gain a foothold in Moscow, so he refused to run “Star Factory 3” in Kyiv and moved to the Russian capital.

In 2009, he distinguished himself at Eurovision, becoming the host of the “Green room” and holding over 80 press conferences during the competition, for which he was awarded the TEFI.

And already in September of the same year he became the co-host of the program “PROPERTY OF THE REPUBLIC”, which he began to host with the famous and honored showman Yuri Nikolaev. This program is still shown on screens and does not lose its popularity. At the same time, Dmitry began hosting another program on Channel One, and later became a member of the jury of the show “Ice and Fire.”

In 2010, I decided to get another higher education and entered the European Humanities University.

Yuri Nikolaev and Dmitry Shepelev in the program "Property of the Republic"

A year later he began hosting “Minute of Glory” and other programs on Channel One. Also this year, he returned as a presenter on Ukrainian television in the program “Laugh the Comedian,” which he began co-hosting with Vladimir Zelensky. Together they later hosted another show, and Shepelev also did his own cooking show on the Ukraine channel.

Life in two cities continued, only now it was Kyiv and Moscow. He lives at approximately the same rhythm now.

Personal life

For the first time, Dmitry went down the aisle in his youth, while still studying at BSU. By the time he married his girlfriend Anna Startseva, he had been dating for seven years. This marriage was not to live as one family, but to help Anna with her career. She trained to be a doctor and wanted to stay and work in Minsk, so she needed this stamp in her passport. The official union lasted three weeks, after which Dmitry divorced and left for Kyiv. In general, the young man always spoke out against marriage, believing that it was important for him to maintain the status of a free man.

Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev

In 2011, the first information began to appear about his possible romance with the popular singer Zhanna Friske, who was nine years older than Dmitry. Journalists sought out the truth, but neither Zhanna nor Dmitry confirmed their relationship, saying that they were connected only by friendship. However, the couple began to spend more and more time together, they vacationed at various resorts, and after some time they stopped hiding their feelings. Zhanna was expecting a child from Dmitry, and in April 2013 their son was born.

Dmitry Shepelev with his son Platon:

But something irreparable happened. Zhanna was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Dmitry and Zhanna’s family began to fight for her life, found the best clinics, and collected money for treatment. This extended Zhanna’s life by two years, but on June 15, 2015, she passed away.

They never managed to get officially married to Dmitry, but he is considered the father of their son Plato. Dmitry devotes a lot of time to his upbringing, often taking him to resorts. The presenter has not yet arranged his personal life, and nothing is known yet about whether he has a new lover.

He was in a civil marriage with singer Zhanna Friske (1974-2015). On April 7, 2013, Friske and Shepelev had a son, Plato, in Miami.

Hobbies of Dmitry Shepelev

Since childhood, I have been interested in sports. He was involved in swimming and water polo, devoted 6 years to professional sports - he played tennis, entered the top 10 junior tennis players in Belarus. Now he occasionally goes on court with Yuri Nikolaev. In his free time from work, Dmitry travels a lot. Shepelev traveled all over Europe, spent three weeks exploring the USA in the summer of 2009 (travel notes about this trip were published by ELLE magazine), and dreams of circumnavigating the Earth under sail. In 2010, he took piano lessons at the Moscow Art Theater School and began learning to play the piano in the same year. In winter he snowboards, in summer he surfs.

Has Friske's husband found a mistress? - this is exactly how the name appeared
Hysteria over the tragic death of Zhanna Friske does not subside either in her family or on television. At another talk show dedicated to a rude joke about the singer, a scandal erupted with the shaking of dirty linen. Zhanna's father said that experiments were carried out on his daughter, and one of her friends said that Dmitry Shepelev has a mistress
A TV show dedicated to a crude joke about the death of Zhanna Friske turned into a scandal and a fight. The singer’s father said that Zhanna was “tested with poison, like a rabbit,” and blamed her for the tragic outcome Friske's illness of her husband Dmitry Shepelev.

As Vladimir Borisovich noted, it was Dmitry Shepelev was the initiator of medical experiments: “Our doctors refused, recognizing Zhanna as hopeless, and then Dima found this experimental vaccine.” He also said that Dmitry visited his wife extremely rarely, constantly getting better: “... not that he wasn’t there at all, but he rarely came in,” “... we initially decided that the treatment should be in the same hands, and entrusted the choice Dima."

All this led to the fact that the press began to persecute either Friske’s father for promoting himself on the death of his daughter, or Shepelev for his cynical attitude towards his wife. On the second talk show, the family scandal flared up with renewed vigor: a certain family friend appeared on the show, declaring that Shepelev had a mistress.

Gradually, the invited experts began to behave aggressively, starting to insult and blame each other. There was also a scuffle: during the break, the enraged actress of foreign sitcoms rushed into a fight with the radio host who was rude to her, the Komsomolskaya Pravda website reports. When young guys came onto the site, supposedly representing the online resource that had posthumously insulted Zhanna, no one heard anyone else...

As the author of the article, who worked with families of cancer patients for 17 years, noted, no matter what people who have lost a loved one accuse each other of, their complaints are translated into universal terms in the same way: “I’m in a lot of pain, and I don’t know who to blame for this!” The only answer can be compassion.

However, the vast majority are unfamiliar with the allegorical language of pain. Apparently, this is why society took Vladimir Borisovich’s complaints as a guide to action and a reason to persecute either Zhanna’s father or the father of her child.

Dmitry Andreevich Shepelev is a radio and television presenter who has collaborated with channels and radio stations in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. He hosted popular entertainment programs on the Inter channel (“Make a Comedian Laugh”, “One Family”), was the presenter of Eurovision 2009, and also co-hosted Yuri Nikolaev in the “Property of the Republic” program. Widower of singer Zhanna Friske.

Childhood

Dima Shepelev was born in Minsk, into a family far from show business and television - both parents graduated from technical universities. The boy was brought up strictly; for example, as a schoolboy, he delivered mail during the holidays in order to earn his first money.


In his youth, Dmitry Shepelev played tennis, and at one time entered the top ten best junior tennis players in the country. In addition, the boy was fond of water polo and swimming.

At school, Dima studied without grades, but focused on humanitarian subjects, paying little attention to the exact sciences. According to the recollections of his class teacher, he was not sociable: he usually stayed away from his classmates and was not serious friends with anyone. He was also not interested in amateur performances like school plays.


In the ninth grade, one of his school acquaintances suggested that Shepelev go to a casting for an extra on the entertainment show “5x5.” Dima was not included in the number of extras - he was offered the position of presenter of the program. Of course, this event raised Dima’s rating among his classmates almost to the skies. As the presenter recalled, in the last years of school, girls fought for the right to carry his briefcase and do homework, and in local stores they began to let young Shepelev skip the line.

Carier start

After graduating from school, Shepelev knew with firm confidence what he wanted to do in his future life. Having become a student at the Faculty of Journalism at the Belarusian State University, he continued to work on the TV channel, and was also invited as a DJ on Alfa Radio.


Later he moved to the Unistar radio station, then to the ONT TV channel, while working part-time as an entertainer in nightclubs for $25/night. Dmitry remembered his work at Unistar for his collaboration with Bryan Adams and Chris Rea (he interviewed musicians), as well as for preparing a live broadcast of Robbie Williams’s performance - the first in Belarus.

"Smak": Dmitry Shepelev

In 2004, Dmitry accepted an invitation from the famous Ukrainian channel “M 1” to the position of host of the morning program “Guten Morgen”. For the next four years, he literally lived in two countries, crossing the border every week - in his native Minsk he still conducted radio broadcasts, and in Kyiv he went on the air on M1, lifting the mood of viewers in the morning.

Since Shepelev took a lot of time to work, he was almost expelled from the university twice for absenteeism. However, he escaped punishment and graduated from BSU with honors in 2005.


In 2008, Shepelev decided to move to Kyiv permanently. From that time on, he began hosting the highly rated show “Star Factory-2,” broadcast on Novy Channel; later he became the host of the entertainment programs “Do You Play or Don’t Play” and “Karaoke Star”.


In 2009, at the invitation of Konstantin Ernst, he began to actively collaborate with Channel One, and therefore moved to Moscow. However, his career on Ukrainian television did not end there. On February 19, 2011, the premiere of the humorous program “Make the Comedian Laugh” took place, which Dmitry Shepelev hosted until the fifth season.

“Make the comedian laugh”: Dmitry Shepelev quarreled with a participant

In 2012, he appeared on the Inter channel as a co-host of Vladimir Zelensky (the show “Red or Black”), a year later he became the host of the author’s culinary program “Summer Kitchen with Dmitry Shepelev”, and a couple of months later he began hosting the music show “One Family” “, in which several families competed for a cash prize and the title of “the most singing family.”

Career in Moscow

In 2008, Dmitry Shepelev made his debut on Russian television as the host of the program “Can You? Sing!” The program was soon taken off the air, as it could not withstand the competition with Valdis Pelsh and his show “Guess the Melody,” but the charismatic presenter with numerous talents was well remembered by the leadership of the First. And when a year later Shepelev had the chance to work for the highest-rated channel on Russian television, Dmitry agreed without hesitation.

Shepelev jokes at Eurovision 2015

In 2009, Dmitry, together with Alsou, Andrei Malakhov and Ivan Urgant, took a place in the so-called “Green Room” at the Eurovision song contest. The work was monstrously difficult - he had to hold about eighty press conferences, but his efforts were rewarded: for two minutes of broadcasting, Shepelev was awarded a TEFI statuette in the category “Best Host of an Entertainment Program”.


In the same year, the collaboration between Dmitry Shepelev and Yuri Nikolaev began - they became co-hosts of the music program “PROPERTY OF THE REPUBLIC”. The phenomenal success of the program ensured Dmitry’s fame: Russian television viewers stopped considering him an “upstart,” and his persona was introduced to many show business figures, as a result of which Shepelev soon became a member of the jury of the “Ice and Fire” project, and in 2011 he began hosting “ A moment of glory." Dmitry was the face of the program until 2013, during which time he met Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexander Oleshko, who acted as his co-hosts.


Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske: a love story

Photos of Dmitry Shepelev regularly appear on the pages of tabloids, thousands of girls are in love with his snow-white smile, his charming voice can turn heads in no time, but the handsome TV presenter can hardly be called a Casanova.

In his youth, Dmitry Shepelev dated a girl named Anna Startseva for seven years. The relationship naturally turned into marriage, which, however, lasted only three weeks. Growing up, the presenter often called him a mistake of his youth.


It is not known for certain how Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske met. In the summer of 2011, he went to Miami to congratulate Friske on his 37th birthday (after which the press first “wedded” them to each other), and six months later they already celebrated the New Year together.


In 2012, the couple no longer denied their relationship, actively appearing together at social events. At the beginning of 2013, fans of Zhanna Friske learned that their favorite was expecting a child. It soon became known that his father was Dmitry Shepelev.


During the last months of her pregnancy, Zhanna was under the care of doctors at a private clinic in Miami. The boy, born in April 2013, was named Plato. Upon returning to Russia, the singer stated that she did not intend to enter into an official marriage with Dmitry. Those close to them were perplexed - the strength of their relationship could only be envied; they had just had a son together, so why shouldn’t the lovers register their marriage?


The truth turned out to be shocking. While still pregnant, Friske was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a late-stage brain cancer. On Zhanna’s 40th birthday, her lover proposed to her, but they simply did not have time to celebrate the heart-stringening holiday. On June 15, 2015, Zhanna passed away.


Heartbroken, Dmitry told reporters that he was immensely grateful to Zhanna for being in his life, and added that he was with her in joy and sorrow, in health and in illness, until the last moment.

Dmitry Shepelev about his relationship with Zhanna Friske

On July 25, 2015, Dmitry Shepelev appeared in public for the first time after the death of Zhanna Friske. Together with Natalia Vodianova, he hosted the draw ceremony for the upcoming World Cup.


In November of the same year, the show “Two Voices” premiered on the STS TV channel, hosted by Dmitry Shepelev and Yulia Nachalova.

The relationship between Shepelev and Zhanna Friske’s parents aroused great public interest. A serious struggle broke out between them for the right to educate Plato. After the singer’s death, her father, Vladimir Kopylov, more than once stated live on air about not at all warm feelings for his “civilian son-in-law.” After this, Dmitry Shepelev forbade the Friske family from seeing their grandson. The parents of the deceased obtained permission to visit Plato through the court, but the boy’s meeting with his grandparents took place almost a year after Zhanna’s death - on May 30, 2016.

One day in the life of the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev

Personal life of Shepelev after the death of Friske

In the fall of 2017, Zhanna’s father told reporters that Dmitry moved in with the singer’s former cosmetologist, Ksenia Stepanova, and also fired the nanny and entrusted Plato’s upbringing to his new lover. However, given the conflict between Kopylov and Shepelev, it is difficult to trust this information, especially since there was no confirmation of this news - neither photos of them together, nor insiders from the outside.


In February 2018, it became known about an affair between Dmitry Shepelev and designer Ekaterina Tulupova. In the summer they vacationed together in Italy, and even more than that, the presenter was not immediately able to find time in his busy work schedule, so he entrusted his little son to his new lover, and only in the last month of summer joined them abroad.

Dmitry Shepelev now

In November 2019, significant changes occurred in the life of Dmitry Shepelev. Firstly, he proposed to Ekaterina Tulupova. Secondly, he decided to keep up with fashion and made his own YouTube show “Folders”. As you can guess from the title, it is dedicated to the problems of fatherhood. The first guest of the show was rapper L"One, father of two children.

The first episode of the show "Folders"

By the way, Dmitry is now also raising two children. In addition to Plato, responsibility for Catherine’s daughter now fell on his shoulders. The girl's name is Lada, she is the same age as her stepbrother.

Within 24 hours, the show was watched by 50 thousand people. Not much, but a start was made. Dmitry's fans have no doubt that the charming and tactful presenter will quickly earn a loyal audience.


Dmitry combined this activity with the position of host of the talk show “Actually,” whose guests undergo a lie detector test. But in February 2020, the showman decided to leave Channel One. He stressed that this was a balanced decision, not motivated by any scandals or controversies. Dmitry is tired of the show’s format: he wants to entertain people, and not delve into dirty laundry and find out the paternity of illegitimate children. “Actually” will be hosted instead of Shepelev by Timur Eremeev, the son of Spartak Mishulin, who previously took part in the show as a hero.
