Ksenia Stepanova is the first girl whose joint photos were published in 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 raise his son.
A little about the artist
For the last 10 years, we have been constantly hearing about Dmitry Shepelev: about his achievements, moves 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 become interested in the then developing field of programming. And even in 8th grade, he was invited to work for a database development company.
It is interesting that the opportunity provided did not interest the future TV presenter, just as he was not interested in amateur creative activities at school. He ended up on television quite spontaneously. In search of another income while studying at school, his friend invited him to participate as an extra in the youth program “5x5”. The supposed extras turned out to be the start of a TV presenter career for Dmitry. He says that the once unsociable and shy boy at school turned into a charming and interesting guy for everyone, who did not need to think about his homework at all.
Of course, after graduating from school, Dmitry knew what he wanted to do, and so he entered the Faculty of Journalism 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 came across Bryan Adams and Chris Rea, and prepared a live broadcast of a Robbie Williams concert.
One day, the head of the M1 channel, Alexander Asaulyuk, noticed the charismatic young man and offered to host the Guten Morgen program. While working in Ukraine, Dmitry did not stop working in Belarus, combining radio and television. In 2007, he completely moved to Ukraine, where he subsequently enjoyed such projects as: “Give me a ride”, “Star Factory 2”, “Zirka karaoke”, “Gray or not”, “Make a comedian laugh”, “Red or black” ", "Summer kitchen with Dmitry Shepelev", "Sing like a star" and others.
No less interesting projects awaited Dmitry Shepelev 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 “Zhanna” was released.
Probably the most discussed project of Shepelev in 2017 is his work as the host of the talk show “Actually,” which evokes conflicting emotions not only among TV viewers, but also among critics.
Dmitry Shepelev and Ksenia Stepanova
Working in television projects certainly brought Dmitry great popularity. But the main attention of the press and television viewers was attracted by his stellar marriage (civil-law) with the lead singer of the group “Brilliant”, the incomparable Zhanna Friske. Unfortunately, this happy union was overshadowed by the wife’s severe incurable illness. It was impossible to believe, but the life of a beautiful woman was cut short, despite the fact that the whole world helped her. Not a single person remained indifferent to the grief of this family. In 2015 it disappeared.
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 covered Dmitry Shepelev with a spectacular brunette. Dmitry did not hide his new relationship and introduced his new companion Ksenia Stepanova to the press. This young woman has been part of the family for a long time; she worked as Zhanna’s personal makeup 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 Zhanna’s death.
The biography of Ksenia Stepanova is not advertised. Not a single page of her on social networks was found. It is impossible to even determine the exact age of Dmitry Shepelev’s new companion.
The only thing that is 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 Dmitry’s aid 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 the information about living together 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.
The other day, on the air of the “Actually” program, sensational facts from the personal life of the legendary actor Ivan Krasko were revealed. Allegedly, the 88-year-old artist had a new young mistress, Yulia, who was beaten by Ivan Ivanovich’s legal wife Natalya. Of course, fans of the people's artist were shocked by this turn of events. They did not believe in the sincerity of Yulia’s feelings, declaring that she was ready to have children with Krasko and brighten up his old age.
Soon, Ivan Ivanovich himself got in touch with journalists, saying that everything that happens on the show is a pre-prepared scenario that does not suit him at all.
“They need to come up with plots, although these plot lines are absolutely not typical for me. This is such nonsense that there is nowhere to go. Of course, they started telling me that they had paid me. And I answer: “Yes, instead of TV series, I have this show.” Of course, I didn’t know this Julia before filming. Absolutely. They forced this Yulia on me, supposedly she is my beloved. I saw her before the show when we needed to do some filming for the show. Then they asked me to be more gentle with her,” the artist admitted.
Ivan Ivanovich noted that Julia, who was recorded as his mistress, has nothing to do with him. On the air of the show, the girl stated that she was a long-time fan of the actor, but in fact, she had nothing to do with the theater and Krasko’s creative activities.
Now the artist is extremely offended by how they treated him. He warned the program editors in advance that he would expose them and would no longer participate in filming.
“I didn’t watch or participate in the last episode. I refused to film and said that I had nothing to do there. This Yulia was forced on me,” the artist emphasized.
Yulia Kichemasova herself is ready to share revelations about filming only if she is paid a decent amount. According to the girl, she gave her all on the set of the “Actually” program, but never received the promised fee.
But Natalya Krasko has so far refrained from commenting on the scandalous story. Previously, the girl noted that in her relationship with Ivan Ivanovich everything is not so simple, and perhaps it could come to a divorce. However, so far “KP” has not reported how events are developing in the family of the famous artist. Krasko himself is determined to stop filming the sensational program, because it negatively affects his reputation.
A year ago, Zhanna Friske passed away. Since then, the singer’s common-law husband, Dmitry Shepelev, has practically become a recluse: according to the TV presenter, he grieved the loss and devoted all his time to his son Plato, whom he was raising alone.
"My Gentle Savior"
Meanwhile, on the anniversary of the singer’s departure, Dmitry published a personal letter to the deceased in Grazia magazine, in which he unexpectedly said: for the whole past year, there was... another woman next to him. A mysterious stranger, whom Shepelev calls “an angel” and “the only one,” saved him from loneliness.
“All year, my only interlocutor was a person I had never known before,” Dmitry wrote in his column. “She was the only one who dared to be with me and share this terrible time. How important it was to me that after so many years they were finally taking care of me. How It was also important that I could give love and care. I probably should have fallen in love, but I couldn’t. After all, I was still living in the past, what a pity. And still thanks to her, my only angel, my gentle savior ".
After such a revelation by Shepelev, Friske’s fans wondered: who is this mysterious woman who supported him in difficult times? On the sidelines of the television center there was talk that Dmitry had a certain close friend, a makeup artist. And KP journalists remembered that a few months ago the name of this mysterious stranger was told to us by Zhanna Friske’s father, Vladimir Borisovich.
Ksyusha Stepanova (Zhanna Friske’s personal cosmetologist - Ed.) is an old friend of her daughter, now she’s with Plato all the time,” Vladimir Friske told us in an interview then. - When Zhanna was sick, Ksyusha looked after her. They told me that Ksyusha is now at Dima’s house all the time. Honestly, I don’t know what kind of relationship Ksyusha has with Shepelev. It is quite possible that there is something personal there.
"Plato is like family to her"
When KP journalists got through to Stepanova with a direct question whether it was true that she was helping Shepelev raise his son, Zhanna’s friend refused to comment: “I don’t give interviews, sorry.”
On the anniversary of the artist’s death, Oksana came with the singer’s family to the cemetery. Dmitry, by the way, was not there: he and his son went on vacation. Stepanova gave Zhanna’s parents an envelope from Shepelev with a touching inscription “To Mommy.”
There is a dandelion there that Platosha picked especially for her mother,” she explained to her friend’s family.
Even such symbolic news from their grandson moved Zhanna’s parents to tears.
Ksyusha helps Dima because Plato is like a son to her,” one of the singer’s friends shared with KP. - He looks so much like his mother! Zhanna's fingers were very bent from birth. And Plato has the same feature.
The fact that Oksana was one of the singer’s closest friends is confirmed by other friends of Friske.
“Ksyusha Stepanova is modest, giving all of herself and not liking big words, she simply did everything to make Zhannina’s days and nights pass as comfortably as possible - she fed, clothed, washed. And she simply loved like a human being,” she wrote on her page on social networks athlete Katya Tsvetova.
“Ksyuni has a huge gift - mercy,” another close friend of Friske, Ksenia Bondarenko, confirms Tsvetova’s words. “Ksyusha was with our baby (Zhanna Friske. - Ed.) almost from the very beginning.”
ANOTHER OPINION
“Dmitry invented this relationship”
We asked the question about Shepelev’s mysterious friend to the lawyer of Zhanna’s father, Sergei Vladimirov.
I read Dmitry's column. It seems to me that Mr. Shepelev is simply confused. When a person writes: “Wine-books, books-wine saved me,” the question arises in me: where was the child? Care and love for a child should also save morally.
- But it wasn’t the wine that hooked us, it was the girl...
Why would Shepelev even admit that there is a girl next to him? As far as I was informed, Oksana Stepanova has a boyfriend or husband - I don’t know exactly his status. That is, she has her own man. What kind of fantasies does Shepelev have in relation to her? As far as I know, Oksana and Dmitry do not and never have had any love. Well, she could have visited several times. Maybe she had a heart-to-heart talk with Shepelev, regretted it, nothing more.
FROM THE "KP" DOSSIER
Oksana STEPANOVA is a fairly famous cosmetologist. Among Stepanova’s clients, in addition to Zhanna Friske, there were such people as TV presenter Tatyana Lazareva, singer Lyubov Uspenskaya, singer and TV presenter Yulia Kovalchuk, lead singer of the group “Brilliant” Ksenia Novikova, Anna Semenovich and Shura from the group “Bi-2”.
