Hockey
The scream of the soul of the TV star shocked Russia. The famous hockey player drank and sank to the bottom
The TV presenter made a frank recognition throughout the country.
Relations between the famous hockey player Igor Makarov and the stars of Russian television, Lera Kudryavtseva, have always been the subject of violent discussions. But now the marriage of celebrities is literally cracking at the seams because of the serious problems of the player with alcohol, which make the wife sob.
“I was ready to fly to the moon”
Makarov and Kudryavtsev met in 2012, when the hockey player played for SKA from St. Petersburg. It was love at first sight. The presenter immediately realized that she had met a real man she dreamed of. Everything would be nothing, but others were very embarrassed by the age difference, because Lera is 16 years older than the chosen one. But this did not interfere with the couple. A year later, they had already played a wedding.
– I am very happy now and I am a little in confusion. Everything happened literally the day before yesterday, it was very beautiful and touching. I came to St. Petersburg, Igor met me. We got into the car and suddenly stopped. Suddenly he took out a small box, looked at me and said: “Ler, I don’t know how to do it, but I want to tell you – get married for me.” Of course, worried. And I was worried too! Did I agree right away? Did I had options? Then Igor joked that if he had not agreed, he would probably just kill me, ”Kudryavtseva told about the hockey player’s proposal in an interview with Life.
After the wedding, the couple really wanted to have a child, Lera, for example, dreamed of a girl. True, I had to wait for the firstborn’s birth for five years. In 2018, Maria was born, who sealed the marriage of celebrities, because for this I had to make a lot of effort.
– I was wildly afraid. I went such a cruel way. I was ready to fly to the moon to take out the child. She went to this for more than one year. At 47, it is already difficult to endure. I did IVF, I did not succeed for many years in a natural way. This was not the first attempt, probably the third, ”said Kudryavtseva in an interview with the YouTube channel“ Alena, damn it! ”
“It is unbearably painful for me”
Unlike many, the hockey player was not seen in public inappropriate behavior. For a long time, the couple made the impression of a good family, but at the beginning of 2024, Kudryavtseva unexpectedly admitted on social networks, which was fed for divorce. The star also voiced the reason for the desire to leave the player.
– I left my husband. Alcohol is evil. Dot. I do not give comments. The media do not bother. Thank you. She deliberately carried the personal to public,-wrote Kudryavtseva in the Telegram channel.
Soon, Lera nevertheless changed her mind to get divorced. She admitted that she spoke about the addiction in public space to help Igor realize that he was on the false path. It seemed that the harsh words of the couple had a proper influence on Makarov, Lera even hinted to the subscribers that the hockey player agreed to undergo rehabilitation. But in April 2025, Kudryavtseva again issued family problems in the public field. The presenter admitted that she already needs the help of a psychologist.
But the new public suffering of Kudryavtseva remained only words. She again gave her husband a chance. A joint photograph from a trip to Turkey, on which spouses are happy and smile, even appeared on social networks. But the next warming in the relationship did not last long.
On July 12, Lera surrendered his nerves. Kudryavtseva admitted that she was in despair, all her efforts were in vain. Neither rehab, nor encoding, nor clinic helped to get rid of the pernicious habit of the hockey player. The presenter admitted that at some point she thought that she would go crazy.
– Nobody sees my shaking hands and nerve tics. After all, I need to smile and pretend that everything is fine. Not good. For a long time. And this is not the end. A little more, and I will have to save me. Do I am aware of what I am writing? Certainly!
I give up … and sob. Will I regret that I wrote this? Maybe. But now I can’t do it otherwise, it breaks me. Only those who came across alcoholism of relatives will understand me. The rest are not. I became so -dependent.
I am afraid that he will die, that something will happen, if not controlled. How many times have already been on the verge of death. And the worst thing is that I take all the blame on myself. After all, God forbid what will happen – I will not forgive this for myself all my life. Endless pity and wine. I’m just tired very much. I’m just an ordinary person. An ordinary woman. Like everyone else. And now it hurts unbearably, ”wrote Kudryavtseva in her Telegram channel.
It is not known what the next emotional splash can lead to, there are a lot of options. It is possible that Lera again simply wants to reason his husband, but the final gap is also not worth excluding.
On Sunday, Kudryavtseva expressed regret due to the fact that she again issued her personal problems to the public.
– Chot I gasped decently yesterday. Usually, this is not in my nature. Do I regret? Rather, yes than not. But, as they say, you can’t check the minced meat back. We have what we have, ”she said in the Telegram channel.
