An actress, the only woman in the most popular Ukrainian project Kvartal 95, a loving daughter and mother of three children, Elena Kravets has learned to be happy and dreams that her children learn not from the mistakes of their parents, but from their right decisions.
The personal life of Lena Kravets has recently been of interest to many, and this is perhaps natural. Energetic, confident, beautiful, radiating happiness and positivity, she regularly appears on TV screens surrounded by male colleagues. At the same time, she does not hide - not all of her life was done correctly, she still has a feeling of guilt before her daughter, but also gratitude to fate for the fact that everything turned out the way it did.
Mom's upbringing
Lenochka Malyashenko was born on New Year's morning in 1977 and at that time she was considered a late child - mother Nadezhda Fedorovna was already 35, and her father, Yuri Viktorovich, was 38 at all. Lena always speaks about her parents with pleasure and special warmth. Dad worked as a metallurgist - a kind and gentle person who laid in the girl a bright attitude towards the world. Mom, as was customary in the Soviet years, was engaged in raising her daughter, taught the wisdom of social life, conscious humanism, how the right girl should behave: “sewn nylon tights are terrible: either wear trousers, or make sure that the tights do not tear »
Lena never considered herself a special beauty, but the first serious pearl in the life of a teenage girl occurred when she moved to another school. New people, boys, first novels - Nadezhda Fedorovna was always aware of her daughter's life, she taught, guided, advised. And, of course, she protected, as she considered right. Already at the new school, 14-year-old Lena suddenly felt a keen desire to show herself - she took part in school amateur performances and was proud of her success. Then the girl did not yet know what place the scene would take in her adult life.
By the end of school, Lena already dreamed of being an actress, but her mother's rational arguments at that time won out, and she entered the Krivoy Rog Economic Institute of the Kiev National Economic University, received a diploma in financier-economist.
KVN is destiny
Already in her second year at the institute, Lena Malyashenko, or Malechka, as her colleagues in the quarter still affectionately call her, for the first time took part in the student spring theater and music festival. Then she began to play in the KVN team, however, from another university, got a job working on the radio. Soon Vova Zelensky transferred to the same university, and after a while Lena met a charming student Sergey Kravets, who was also on the KVN team of his institute.
They were interested together, a lot of laughter, conversations, jokes and common work - Lena and Sergey were on the same team
I felt that I was falling in love, and it seemed to me that we were both in the same state, but we were afraid to take the first step.
But the relationship did not develop right away - in May 1997, Sergei confessed his love to Lena and for several months they were filled with almost cloudless happiness. However, short-lived - already in the summer they parted, although they continued to play in the same team. The second round of relations began after a while, when Lena was already a “star”, she performed in the Highest League of KVN with the team “Zaporozhye - Krivoy Rog - Transit”, and Sergey again began to court
I waited after couples, escorted home, invited to concerts and parties. It wasn't that I was pretending to be touchy, but I was really wondering if it was worth stepping into the same river twice.
And yet, she entered. Sergei and Lena began to live together, and in conditions unprecedented at that time - in a separate apartment, the keys to which were given to their daughter by Nadezhda Fedorovna.
Difficult decision
In March 2002, Sergei gave Lena a ring and made an offer, accepting which the girl replied that she would think about it. But when in May she discovered 2 strips on a pregnancy test, there was no more time to think and the guys decided to get married, while the tummy was not yet visible. The wedding took place according to all the rules - the bride in white, about 120 guests, almost 2 thousand dollars were spent - an unthinkable amount at that time.
Pregnancy was easy for 26-year-old Lena Kravets, she continued to perform, go to parties, go on tour. My mother and mother-in-law were nearby, though my husband had already left to conquer Kyiv with Zelensky and the team, and he came home to Krivoy Rog in between work. In February 2003, Lena gave birth to a daughter, who was named Masha, and this girl became the new center of Lena Kravets' Universe.
And again, a twist of fate forced the young mother to make a difficult decision - when Mashenka was only 10 months old, Volodya Zelensky called and invited Lena to Kiev, to become a full-fledged member of the newly formed and rapidly gaining popularity of the Kvarta 95 team. Again, my mother came to the rescue - it was she who persuaded her daughter to leave Masha in Krivoy Rog and go for a dream and self-realization. Despite the fact that Lena visited her daughter regularly, these 8 months were very difficult for her and she still doubts whether she did the right thing by choosing a job and not a child. Masha is already 14 years old, she has been living in Kyiv with her mom and dad for a long time, but Lena visits Lena from time to time with guilt before her, maybe someday this will pass.
I want her vital immunity to be formed under the influence of our right decisions with Serezha, and not mistakes
Twins - double happiness
Life went on as usual, Elena Kravets became an indispensable member of the Kvartal-95 team, working together with her husband was sometimes not easy, as in any normal, and even more so, creative family, there were quarrels, conflicts and reconciliations, but the family remained afloat. Mashenka grew up and became surprisingly similar to her mother.
And again, fate brought a surprise to Lena Kravets - in March 2016, Vladimir Zelensky announced that their only lady did not fly with the team on tour to Israel, because she was expecting a baby. Soon Lena herself confirmed the news of her second pregnancy, and after a while let slip that she would have twins. During pregnancy, the restless Lena slightly retrained - she launched her own line of clothes for pregnant women, OneSize by Lena Kravets, and she herself demonstrated new models.
In August 2016, 39-year-old Elena Kravets gave birth to twins - a boy Vanechka and a girl Katenka. Two months later, Lena returned to work and completely restored her figure. She admits - yes, it’s not easy, if grandmothers helped raise Masha, then it’s difficult to do without nannies with twins. Now with Vanyusha and Katenka, in addition to her mother and mother-in-law, she is supported by two nannies, but Lena is thinking about a third one.
Having starred in several "pregnant" photo shoots as part of the promotion of her clothing brand, and having held several events for women in position, the star of "Studio Quarter-95" Elena Kravets disappeared from social networks for some time. Therefore, the fans, who was still pregnant at that time, the TV presenter, had a seriously increased interest in whether Elena had accidentally given birth.
