Ksenia Stepanova is the first girl whose joint photos got into the press after the death of Zhanna Friske. Dmitry Shepelev does not comment on his relationship with Ksenia. Although many argue that it is Ksenia who lives with Dmitry and helps him in raising his son.
A little about the artist
For the past 10 years, we have been constantly hearing about Dmitry Shepelev: about his achievements, relocations and personal life. Who is this young man, with a very romantic appearance and unearthly charm?
Dmitry Shepelev was born in Minsk in 1983. His parents graduated from technical universities, hoping that their son would also be interested in the then developing field of programming. And even in the 8th grade, he was offered a job at a database development company.
It is interesting that the opportunity provided did not interest the future TV presenter, just as creative amateur performances at school were not interesting. He appeared on television quite spontaneously. In search of another income during school studies, his friend invited him to participate in extras in the youth program "5x5". The alleged extras turned for Dmitry into the start of a career as a TV presenter. He says that the once unsociable and shy boy at school turned into a charming and interesting guy for everyone, who did not have to think about his homework at all.
Of course, after graduating from school, Dmitry knew what he wanted to do, and therefore entered the journalism department of the Belarusian State University. He continued to work on the TV channel, combining custom events with radio broadcasts on the popular radio station Alfa Radio.
Replacing one radio station with another, he received more and more interesting projects. So, in the course of his work, he encountered Bryan Adams and Chris Rea, prepared a live broadcast of a Robbie Williams concert.
Once a charismatic young man was noticed by the head of the M1 channel Alexander Asaulyuk and offered to host the Guten Morgen program. Working in Ukraine, Dmitry did not stop working in Belarus, combining radio and television. In 2007, he completely moved to Ukraine, where he was subsequently awaited by such projects as: “Let me ride”, “Star Factory 2”, “Zirka karaoke”, “Graesh chi not graesh”, “Laugh the comedian”, “Red or black ”, “Summer kitchen with Dmitry Shepelev”, “Sing like a star” and others.
No less interesting projects were waiting for Dmitry Shepelev and in, where he moved in 2009. This and "Can you? Sing", which began his work in Moscow, and "Five Stars", and "Ice and Fire" and many others.
In 2016, Dmitry's book "Jeanne" was released.
Probably the most discussed project of Shepelev in 2017 today is the work of the host of the talk show “Actually”, which causes conflicting emotions not only among viewers, but also among critics.
Dmitry Shepelev and Ksenia Stepanova
Work in television projects, of course, brought Dmitry great popularity. But the main attention of the press and viewers was attracted by his stellar marriage (civilian) with the lead singer of the "Brilliant" group, the incomparable Zhanna Friske. Unfortunately, this happy union was overshadowed by the serious incurable illness of his wife. It was impossible to believe, but the life of a beautiful woman was cut short, despite the fact that they helped her with the whole world. Not a single person remained indifferent to the grief of this family. In 2015, it didn't.
She managed to give Dmitry a beautiful son - Plato. Litigation with Zhanna's parents about where the boy should grow up is still ongoing. At the moment, Plato lives with his father.
Most recently, the media circled Dmitry Shepelev with a spectacular brunette. Dmitry did not hide the new relationship and introduced his new companion Ksenia Stepanova to the press. This young woman has long been part of the family, she worked as Jeanne's personal make-up artist. Ksenia Stepanova has known Dmitry Shepelev for many years. She knows about this family firsthand. Dmitry openly stated that Ksenia was the only one who supported him after Jeanne's death.
The biography of Ksenia Stepanova is not advertised. None of her social media pages were found. It is impossible even to determine the exact age of Dmitry Shepelev's new companion.
The only thing known for certain is that Ksenia Stepanova and Zhanna Friske were friends. Ksenia even became Plato's godmother (according to other sources, Olga Orlova was the godmother). That is why, Ksenia was the first to come to the aid of Dmitry and began to help him raise his son.
Dmitry Shepelev - personal life today
Dmitry Shepelev himself tries not to comment on his relationship. He does not refute or support information about cohabitation with Ksenia Stepanova. But Zhanna Friske's father claims that Ksenia has been living in Dmitry's house for more than a year. And the pictures of this smiling couple leave no doubt about the closeness of their relationship.
Pictures of the apartment of Dmitry Shepelev, in which he lives with his son, appeared on the network. It turned out that Zhanna Friske's widower had recently moved into a new home and asked for help with repairs from the Perfect Repair program.
As Natalya Barbier, who talked with the famous TV presenter of the show “Actually”, noted, the case with Dmitry is rare - he is used to creating a comfort zone for himself and the child, closing himself from strangers and cameras and clearly knows what he and Plato need. Therefore, a team of Dmitry's colleagues from Channel One this time did not come up with something unusual, but followed the path outlined by Shepelev in order to please the young father.
Dmitry's new apartment is rented, it has a separate children's room and an adult bedroom, the living room is combined with the kitchen. As the presenter admitted, the kitchen is his favorite place: he cooks a lot, works there and receives guests. Dad and son moved here to be closer to Platon's kindergarten.
Shepelev liked the result. The designers decided to paint the walls in gray, the furniture and doors are seasoned, not flashy. And pillows, carpet and paintings just became the necessary accent, which added colors.
However, the network decided that an apartment is suitable for a bachelor, but not for a small child.
“It turned out terribly, in such gray gloomy colors, it’s not particularly fun there anyway, and a small child will grow up in these black-and-gray walls, tin.”
“For what, for what merit did they repair this hypocrite? Half the country hates him!”
“For a man it is very stylishly beautiful, but for a child there is not enough comfort. As if Dmitry will live there alone.
Fans of Zhanna Friske are sad that Shepelev is forced to rent housing, because the singer's father does not let him into the country house built together with Plato's mother. There would have been better conditions for the child. Although it seems that Dmitry does not need sympathy and shows that he is more fun with Plato together and closer to the kindergarten. By the way, Dmitry said that he would like a second child.
Platon recently surprised his grandfather by the fact that the Incident occurred when the Friske family visited Shepelev's house, because by a court decision they can legally spend 1.5 hours a month with their grandson. Andrei Malakhov recently shocked his former colleague on the Shepelev channel by exploiting this topic and promising to achieve more frequent meetings for the family.
The personal life of the Belarusian handsome Dmitry Shepelev has always worried women. A charming guy, smiling from the TV screen, excited more than one girl's heart. The future TV presenter met his first love at school: a roommate Katya Kolesnikova became Dima's first girlfriend. But due to filming in the Belarusian youth series, the aspiring actor did not pay enough attention to the girl, and the couple broke up.
Shepelev had a serious romance in his student years. For 7 years he met with Anna Startseva. The novel ended with a wedding ... Three weeks after the wedding, the newlyweds divorced, and Dima left for Kyiv.
The love story of Jeanne and Dmitry
Rumors that Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske started dating appeared in 2012. At first, the showman did not admit this and answered reporters that his relationship with the singer was just PR. Yes, and the fans imagined next to the luxurious Zhanna not a young boy, but a respectable and wealthy man.
After a while, the paparazzi noticed the rounded belly of the singer - and the couple stopped hiding their relationship.
As it turned out, Jeanne and Dima met on the set of the musical television program “Property of the Republic”. The charismatic presenter immediately liked the singer, 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 his candid interviews with OK! the TV presenter said that he was in no hurry to put a new stamp in his passport, since the previous marriage ended unsuccessfully.
Zhanna Friske never hid that she was ready to leave her career for the sake of her beloved man. Upon learning of the pregnancy, she began to perform less frequently, did not appear at secular parties, and then disappeared from the press for a while. In April 2013, Zhanna gave birth to a son, Plato. But after a joyful event, a sad one almost immediately came: the doctors made a terrible diagnosis for the singer - an inoperable brain tumor.
Shepelev was torn between the hospital where Jeanne 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" photos from filming and festive events. In one of the interviews, Shepelev admitted that the work is his "lifeline", it allows you to at least get a little distracted from the difficult reality.
Dmitry until the last moment believed that Zhanna would recover. He said that on the singer's birthday he offered her a hand and a heart. The couple dreamed of a beautiful wedding when the disease receded. The lovers even exchanged rings, since then Shepelev called Friske his wife. The struggle for life lasted for almost two years. Unfortunately, Zhanna failed to defeat cancer.
Why Shepelev did not have time to say goodbye to Jeanne
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, a flurry of reproaches hit the showman: Jeanne's fans could not understand why he was not next to his dying wife? Later, Shepelev said that he wanted to protect his little son from negative impressions, so he took him to the resort. Upon learning the terrible news, he was waiting 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 managed to come only to the funeral. Immediately after the funeral, Shepelev returned to Bulgaria to Plato.
Personal life of Dmitry Shepelev after the death of Friske
After the death of Jeanne, the showman went into himself, not wanting to give interviews and comments to the press. He only remarked that their relationship with his wife was perfect:
“We were with Zhanna both in joy and in sorrow. 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 that"
Shepelev's acquaintances are extremely concerned about the psychological state of the singer. TV presenter Andrey Malakhov spoke about a chance meeting with Dmitry at the Moscow airport. According to Malakhov, Dmitry became like an exhausted gray-haired man with a beard. He was with Plato, whom he again took 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 Platon 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. Friedland called Plato a real hero and said that Dmitry was holding on with all his might. According to the producer, Shepelev intentionally does not go online and does not watch TV, trying to save his nerves from negative comments and a sea of articles about Jeanne's death. For a few more weeks, the showman will stay in Bulgaria with his son; he does not announce his future plans.
The younger sister of the singer told the details of the scandal with the former son-in-law
Today, information appeared in the media about a grandiose scandal between the family of Zhanna Friske and her common-law spouse Dmitry Shepelev. It was reported that Jeanne's father for not allowing him to see his grandson Plato. We talked with the sister of the singer Natalya, who died of cancer. She told us that Dmitry more than once allowed himself to insult his sick wife, her parents, and Natalia herself.
The first time I heard him yelling at Jeanne back in Jurmala, says Natalia. “You are terrible and no one needs you anymore, except me. Yes, you will die without me at all, ”he shouted to her. I then asked Jeanne, often he allows himself this. She said yes, it does. But then she began to take the blame on herself: “Maybe I said or did something wrong. Brought him up."
Natalia is in tears. The family has not yet recovered from the death of their beloved Jeanne. The singer's son Plato is the only outlet for everyone. After all, the boy grew up in the arms of Zhanna's mother and Natalia. Until the last day of Jeanne's life, he lived in the Friske family.
Mom did not leave a single step either from Plato or from her sister. Yes, during this time she has aged 10 years from experiences, Natalya cries. - And now this! He constantly brings our dad up. He deliberately provoked this whole conversation, made a recording and immediately sold it to journalists. We did not expect such meanness from him. Although he is far from being as white and fluffy as he wants to seem. We understood it right away.
According to the singer's sister, Dmitry more than once allowed himself to insult both his sick wife and her parents and Natalia herself.
The first time I heard him yelling at Jeanne, back in Jurmala, says Natalia. - “You are terrible and no one needs you anymore, except me. Yes, you will die without me at all, ”he shouted to her. I then asked Jeanne if he often allows himself this. She said yes, it does. But immediately she began to take the blame on herself: “Maybe I said or did something wrong. Brought him up." Zhanna's friends also told me that Dima often allows himself this.
The son of Jeanne Plato was raised by the Friske family until the death of her mother. Natalya herself, who does not yet have her own children, constantly bathed him, read bedtime stories and put him to bed. Shepelev's parents rarely came to their daughter-in-law's house. And when they were, they didn’t even take care of the child.
Now he does not let me near the boy for a cannon shot, Natalya sobs. - He says that I don't care about the boy and I'm promoting myself at the expense of him. And it seems to me that he is afraid that Plato will mistake me for Jeanne. We are very similar to her. The only thing is that he called our mother to Bulgaria to sit with the baby while his parents left somewhere. And not out of pity for her, but because he was so comfortable. And then he strictly forbade her to be photographed with Platosha. So many conditions put forward, just a nightmare. And he himself was selling photos with his son right and left.
It turns out that the villa on the Bulgarian coast, where Shepelev rested and came to his senses after the death of his wife, belongs.
Philip Bedrosovich actually invited my parents to rest there, who miraculously survived the death of Zhanna. But we gave way to Dima and Plato.
Did Zhanna herself leave no instructions about her son? Who did she want him to stay with?
Zhanna before her death could no longer speak at all, but only blinked her eyes “yes” or “no”. We asked her: do you want Plato to live with Shepelev? She didn't answer. And when asked if she wanted the boy to stay with us, she blinked. But this, of course, is not proof for anyone now. We thought that we would peacefully agree on everything with Dima. That Plato will visit us and them. But see how he behaves now. Although in vain we hoped for his decency. Yes, his last words were when he left us two days before Zhanna's death: “I wish she had already died, I would have taken my son and never saw you all again!” Now, according to the Friske family, Dima lives alone. The child is looked after by his parents.
Do you know what he asked the father at the wake? He asked when he would be allowed to live with another woman. I hope this person gets it back.
It is clear that Natalya said a lot on emotions. In the heat of family scandals, they don’t choose expressions and don’t climb into their pocket for a word. But, if careless accusations are left out of the equation, is it really a manly way to denounce a grief-stricken father-in-law to the whole world? Even if he went beyond the bounds of decency ... "MK" is ready to provide a platform for Dmitry Shepelev and present his position to readers. But I would very much like to hope that both sides of the conflict will find the strength to settle the problems peacefully. For the memory of Jeanne and for the sake of her future son.
Dmitry Andreevich Shepelev- Zhanna Friske's common-law husband, a popular TV and radio host. We call Mr. Shepelev a common-law spouse, because it is clearer to the average reader of this biography. However, to be legally correct, Dmitry Shepelev- Roommate of the late singer.

Did Friske's husband find a mistress? - with such a name appeared
The hysteria over the tragic death of Zhanna Friske does not subside either in her family or on television. At the next talk show dedicated to a rude joke about the singer, a scandal broke out with shaking dirty laundry. Jeanne's father said that they experimented on his daughter, and one of her friends said that Dmitry Shepelev has a mistress
A TV show dedicated to a rude joke about the death of Zhanna Friske turned into a scandal and a fight. The singer's father said that Jeanne "was tested with poison, like a rabbit," and accused of a tragic outcome illness Friske her husband Dmitry Shepelev.
As Vladimir Borisovich noted, it is precisely 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 rarely visited his wife, getting better all the time: "... 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 in the press they began to persecute either Friske's father - because he was promoting himself on the death of his daughter, or Shepelev - for a 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 program, saying that Shepelev had a mistress.
Gradually, the invited experts began to behave aggressively, insulting and blaming each other. There was also a brawl: during the break, the enraged actress of foreign sitcoms rushed into a fight with a radio host who was nasty to her, the Komsomolskaya Pravda website reports. When young guys came to the site, allegedly representing an Internet resource that insulted Zhanna posthumously, no one heard anyone ...
As the author of the article, who has worked for 17 years with the families of cancer patients, noted, no matter what people who have lost a loved one accuse each other of, their claims are translated into universal human claims in the same way: "It hurts me a lot, and I don't know who to blame for this!" The only answer is sympathy.
However, the absolute majority of the allegorical language of pain is unfamiliar. Apparently, therefore, the 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.
