Rock-ethno and art-folk singer Pelageya: how did she win all-Russian fame, and who is her husband?

Singer Pelageya is unique on the modern Russian stage, filled with the same type of performers. Beautiful and talented, she has many fans who are interested in the life of a girl. Especially for these people, we have collected valuable information about her life path and family: who is her husband now, and when did the girl become a mother?

Brief biography of the Russian pop star

Pelageya, originally from Novosibirsk, was born on 07/14/1986 in a creative family: mother Svetlana Khanova sang in the jazz style, and was also engaged in directing and producing.

By the way, the name "Polina" is indicated in the birth certificate of the future star, which was the result of a mistake by the registry office staff.

The father was not involved in raising the girl, and stepfather Andrei, who was an artist, subsequently treated the negligent dad very badly. Once the mother fell ill, after which she stopped doing vocal work, took up acting. She took the upbringing of her daughter very seriously. The creative family of Pelageya directly influenced her life: at the age of 3, the future star read her first novel, and a year later she already participated in a play staged in a kindergarten. The girl really liked to perform on stage.

At the age of 8, Pelageya Khanova entered the music school at the Novosibirsk Conservatory, and two years later, at the instigation of the musician Dmitry Revyakin, she took part in the Morning Star project and won with a folk song.

After school, the aspiring singer entered Novosibirsk University, where she was remembered for her participation in the local KVN team. Her musical career captured her: she successfully participated in various competitions, and in 1997 Pelageya performed on Red Square at a celebration in honor of the anniversary of the capital; she sang the song "Lubo, brothers, lyubo", which she addressed to the then President Boris Yeltsin.

After 2 years, the girl began to study in Moscow at the RATI (GITIS) and, with the help of her mother, created the Pelageya group, in which she brought together talented musicians. The guys created music in the style of "folk-rock": folk songs in rock processing. The singer's strong voice, non-standard performance, unusual compositions - all this attracted, and the group's work became very popular with many Russians: Pelageya's first solo concert gathered more than 10 thousand spectators.

At the age of sixteen, the girl recorded her first album, fame came to her, and her life changed: tours, concerts and performances all over the country, along with studio recording, filled all her time.

Pelageya easily withstood her popularity, remaining a cheerful and kind person without any arrogance. She maintains awareness, continues to develop and read a lot.

The singer has a bright acting talent (she graduated from GITIS with a “red” diploma), at one time she starred in the TV series (“Yesenin”), various TV shows: “Geeks”, “Two Stars”, “Voice”. The girl takes part in Russian talk shows.

The star sang in duets with other pop stars: Garik Sukachev, Mikhail Gorshenev and others.

Family and children: who is Pelageya's husband now?

The TV star had two marriages. The first time she married director Dmitry Efimovich in 2010, whom she met in Novosibirsk in 1997. After a while, people met again, a relationship began that took shape in marriage. But the couple was not together for long: two years later, the couple separated. It is not completely known why this happened, according to some rumors, Dmitry's betrayals were to blame.

The second marriage, which continues to this day, turned out to be happy and fruitful for the girl. In the summer of 2016, Pelageya and the famous hockey player Ivan Telegin, who plays for CSKA and the Russian national team, secretly got married. He is 4 years younger than his chosen one. The guys celebrated the wedding rather modestly - only the closest people from the side of the husband and wife were invited to the restaurant on Rublevsky Highway for the celebration.

For Ivan, this marriage is also not the first: before that, he cohabited with Evgenia, a former stripper, and she bore him a son, Mark.

Soon Pelageya gave birth to her first child from Ivan - daughter Taisiya, this happened in the winter of 2017. The mother of the TV star, grandmother Svetlana, helps to raise her daughter. They say that Ivan does not take part in raising his daughter.

Judging by the photographs that Pelageya regularly posts, she is quite happy with her family life. Successful in her career and having given birth to a healthy daughter, the Russian pop star achieved everything thanks to her great talent. We wish her and her husband success in all matters and personal relationships.

Biography of Pelagia

Pelageya Sergeevna Telegina (nee Khanova) is actually the name of the famous singer. Raising a daughter-star for Polya's mother - a jazz singer from Novosibirsk Svetlana Khanova (nee Smirnova) - was the main goal in life. She once wanted to be a star herself. But life decreed otherwise: Svetlana lost her voice. Then she received a special education and became a theater director.

Fields (in the birth certificate the girl was recorded as Polina, and when she received her passport she changed her name) was a very obedient child and almost always won first places in various amateur art competitions both in her native Novosibirsk and in the capitals.

The beginning of the way

As a baby, at the age of four, she took the stage. And at the age of eight she entered the Novosibirsk Special School at the Conservatory.

And already at the age of 9 she took part in the competition of young talents - in the program "Morning Star" and won it.

Soon the Poli family moved from Novosibirsk to the Ochakovo metropolitan area. Now the girl decided to conquer Moscow.

“If I didn’t have my mother, I’m not sure that I would be an artist. I do not think that I would have had the strength, perseverance, stubbornness. To come to Moscow… I don’t have this penetrating power.”

Pelageya became the brightest and youngest member of the KVN team of Novosibirsk University at that time.

Life in Moscow

More than twenty years ago, Pelageya's first single "Lubo" was released. And at the age of 12, the girl was invited to perform this song in front of the heads of Russia, France and Germany at the summit of three states. Pelageya even has a photo with Jacques Chirac, Boris Yeltsin and Helmut Kohl. And even then she was called a star.

In Moscow, Pelageya easily entered an elite gymnasium, and then GITIS (RATI) for an experimental course of pop artists. In order to become a certified artist faster, Pelagia externally passed the exams for grades 10 and 11.

In 2005, the Pelageya group was created, in which Svetlana Khanova is a producer, arranger, and administrator.

In 2012-2014, she was a mentor in the most popular show among the people "Voice", "Voice of Children" (2014-2016, 2018). In 2018, she became a mentor at Voice 60+.

Today, the singer does not have her own hit, and her songs are almost never heard on the radio, but Pelageya has one hundred percent recognition. She is loved by the people, but at the same time remains the most closed Russian star. A minimum of comments about her personal life, there are practically no photos of Taisiya's daughter on the Internet, and joint public appearances with her husband, the famous hockey player Ivan Telegin, are very rare.

In 2005, the TV series Yesenin was released on Channel One, where Sergei Bezrukov played the title role, he was also the producer of the film. He invited Pelageya to play a small role. Sergey was not stopped by the fact that the girl had absolutely no filming.

“She has a cosmic range. She is so charming, open and sincere. This sincerity is very captivating.”

True, Pelageya herself believes that her first acting experience was unsuccessful.

Personal life

Pelageya's first husband is Comedy Woman director Dmitry Efimovich, but the couple were married for only two years from 2010 to 2012.

When Pelageya met hockey player Ivan Telegin (they were introduced by mutual friends), she had no idea that she would become his wife. They started talking, and the singer discovered that their concepts of family, life, and home are very similar. In 2016, they got married and not a word about the ceremony to reporters.

Pelageya also told only her closest relatives about the birth of her daughter Taisiya in January 2017.

“The birth of a daughter is the happiest day of my life. I woke up, watched hockey and went to give birth!”

Pelageya is an infrequent guest on television. Therefore, her appearance on the Voice project stirred up a wave of interest in her person. Of course, one of the questions that excited many: "Who did Pelageya marry?" But, despite the fact that the singer gives the impression of a very open person, information about her personal life remains inaccessible. Rare articles in newspapers and infrequent interviews in programs only added fuel to the fire. Soon, headlines appeared on the pages of magazines: "Pelageya married a hockey player." This fact surprised many, because no one knew about the new relationship of the singer. Soon all the secret became clear. It turned out that Pelageya married a hockey player

Pelagia's childhood

Pelageya's talent manifested itself when she was very tiny. Her mother Svetlana drew attention to her daughter's musicality. When she sang songs to her, Pelageya could easily repeat a small passage without errors. Mom made a fateful decision - to develop the singer's talent in her daughter. But at the same time, the general development of the girl did not fade into the background. By the age of three, the young talent was able to read. Her first book was Gargantua and Pantagruel, a satirical novel about two giants. Pelagia's extraordinary abilities have always attracted attention. In kindergarten, almost no performance was complete without the participation of a young singer. Since then, Pelageya's heart has become attached to the stage.

Pelageya is the owner of not only a rare talent, but also a rare name. Many believe that this is a pseudonym. No, the singer inherited the name from her grandmother. An interesting story happened to him. When the parents applied for a birth certificate, the registry office decided that the name Pelageya would not be suitable for a Soviet child, and wrote in the full name column: Polina Sergeevna Khanova. This injustice was corrected during the receipt of the passport by Pelageya.

School years

Before school, Pelageya was educated by her mother, a talented jazz singer in the past. At the age of eight, the young talent was enrolled in a specialized educational institution at the conservatory. The girl's talent impressed the selection committee so much that Pelageya was admitted to a music school without exams. Already at the age of 9, she performed on the stage of the Philharmonic, where she was noticed by a popular rock musician and poet. Power, depth of voice, unique manner of performance struck the rocker. He sends a cassette recording of Pelageya's performance to the then popular contest of performers "Vocation". Yuri Nikolaev did not remain indifferent to the Siberian nugget.

An unprecedented decision was made to enroll Pelageya to participate in the winners' stage. Thanks to her talent, the girl won the competition, and she was awarded the title of "The Best Folk Song Performer in Russia in 1996". It was her high point. After the appearance of talent on the stage of the competition, Pelageya was talked about all over Russia. Soon she began to be invited to major events, including the state level. She spoke to the leaders of many countries of the world. And each of them was amazed by the talent of the Siberian woman. Folk songs and romances performed by the young star did not leave indifferent Boris Yeltsin, Jacques Chirac, Patriarch of All Rus' Alexy II.

At the age of 11, Pelageya becomes the youngest member of the teams of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club. She played for the national team of her native city of Novosibirsk. She impressed the audience not only with her voice, but also with sparkling jokes.

student life

Already at the age of 14, the child prodigy Pelageya was enrolled in the Russian Institute of Theater Arts. Despite the fact that mother and Pelageya lived and worked in Moscow for a long time, it was not possible to acquire their own housing. Then in 2001, cultural figures signed a petition in which they asked the Moscow government to provide housing for the singer. After that, Pelageya officially became a Muscovite. Around the same time, the girl is actively working on recording albums. She gathered like-minded people around her, who united in the Pelageya group. Together they experimented with sound, arrangements, repertoire. In 2003, the debut album of the ensemble, Pelageya, was released. The presentation was prepared in the cult at that time club "B-2". To ensure that there was no free space in the hall, the musicians themselves printed and posted posters. Despite the first steps in the world of music, the group was already known, and many admirers of their talent gathered at the concert. In the same year, the fashionable music magazine FYUZ named the Pelageya group the discovery of the year.

In 2005, Pelageya graduated from the institute with an honors diploma.

Adulthood

After graduating from high school, Pelageya went headlong into work. Together with their team, they were looking for their niche among many musical directions. Art folk - that's how they defined their style. Pelageya has participated in many festivals, including international ones. She performs in London's Trafalgar Square. Becomes the main performer at the large-scale rock festival "Invasion". Covers of songs performed by a talented singer occupy the top places of the charts. Pelageya also actively tours. In every city where musicians come, there is a full house. Pelageya is very loved and appreciated by fans. In 2008 she acted as a member of the jury at the international song contest "Eurovision".

TV

Pelageya has been familiar with television since childhood. For example, at the age of 11, the young talent became a guest of the popular Anthropology program, hosted by Dmitry Dibrov. Pelageya was invited to take part in various shows, but the selective singer always carefully chose projects. When Sergei Bezrukov invited her to shoot in a cameo role in the film Yesenin, Pelageya agreed. According to Sergei, when he selected the actors, he immediately wanted to give the role of a simple Russian beauty to Pelageya. The talented singer did a great job.

In 2009, Pelageya was invited to take part in the show of the first channel "Two Stars", where she was supposed to perform in a duet with Daria Moroz. It was agreed with the producers of the show that the singer would appear in just a few issues. But the viewer was so sunk into the soul of the songs performed by the artists that their tandem with Daria became the leader of the vote. Unfortunately, for health reasons, Pelageya was unable to continue participating.

Another project of the First Channel, which Pelageya was lucky to get into, is “Voice”. She was the mentor of the TV project from 2012 to 2014. Against the background of courageous colleagues, Pelageya stood out for her emotionality and openness. Her mind, tact, professionalism bribed everyone, from project participants to viewers. In 2014, the singer repeated the experience of mentoring, but already on the children's "Voice". For some time, Pelageya disappeared from television screens and from glossy pages. During this period, she had much more important things to do. After all, Pelageya married hockey player Ivan and was preparing to become a mother.

Personal life

The wisdom of the singer is that she does not allow curious, journalists to her family. She guards the peace and harmony of the family hearth. That is why there is very little information about the singer's personal life. It is only known that before becoming Telegin, Pelageya was already in official relations. The union between (a former member of the Novosibirsk KVN team) and the singer lasted only 2 years.

The beginning of Ivan's career

Now we will tell the story of Ivan, because I want to know who Pelageya married. The talented hockey player comes from the city of Novokuznetsk. His dad, an avid fan of this sport, dreamed that his son would learn how to play hockey. Therefore, he took Ivan to the section, where the young athlete began to show the first successes. Hockey club "Metallurg", where Telegin began his career, in 2009 becomes the champion of Russia. At this time, Ivan is noticed by scout Mark Gandler, who invites a promising hockey player to go with him to Ontario to participate in the junior league. Due to the fact that Ivan had to prematurely terminate the contract with Metallurg, he paid the club a penalty.

Ivan spent three years in Canada playing for Ontario teams. During this time, his professional level has grown. In 2010, Telegin signed a contract with the Atlanta Thrashers NHL team, and in 2011 with Winnipeg. Also in 2011, he became a member of the Russian junior ice hockey team. Moving from the junior league to the adult, Telegin began to play for the St. Johns reserve team. But soon during the match, Ivan received a severe concussion. He failed to recover quickly from such an injury. Headaches tormented for 8 months. Therefore, the club's management decided to disqualify Ivan from the national team. There were no grievances and misunderstandings between Telegin and the club's coaches, they parted amicably.

Ivan's return to Russia

After the injury and exclusion from the St. Johns team, Ivan decided to return to his homeland. Novokuznetsk Metallurg and Yaroslavl Lokomotiv were considered as the main clubs where Ivan claimed to get into. But in the end, neither one nor the other showed interest in the player. Perhaps this was due to the financial difficulties of the teams. Absolutely stunning news for Ivan was an invitation from CSKA to join the ranks of the team players. Telegin immediately agreed. After being disqualified from the hockey league, Telegin could not take part in the games for a year. But the army team went for it and did not lose. Having become the forward of the new team, Ivan impressed with his efficiency and talent as an athlete.

In 2016, Ivan became an official member of the Russian national ice hockey team at the World Championship. At the 2016 World Cup, he proved himself to be an excellent striker. From his filing, 2 goals were scored, Ivan himself stood out, scoring 4 goals against opponents.

Ivan's personal life

Ivan is a very attractive young man, so he had no end to his fans. He is credited with many fleeting novels. But that was before Pelageya married Ivan Telegin. Although in the life of a hockey player there were serious relationships that gave him a son, Mark. In the yellow press and scandalous TV shows, they discussed the topic of Ivan's separation from his former cohabitant. But this did not affect relations with Pelageya in any way.

Meeting of Ivan and Pelageya

The relationship between Ivan and Pelageya has long been covered with a veil of secrecy. No one suspected that a fire of love was lit between young people. Suspicions arose at the moment when a zealous fan Pelageya was present at all the matches with the participation of Telegin. Soon she was wearing a jersey with the number of her favorite athlete. Then all the doubts of the curious dissipated: it became clear who Pelageya married. According to Ivan, they met Pelageya through their mutual friend. At the time of their meeting, Telegin did not even know who Pelageya was. He was hooked by the openness, radiance, fragility of the beautiful singer.

Wedding of Ivan and Pelageya

Young people treat each other and their families with trepidation. Therefore, they did not advertise the marriage ceremony. On June 16, 2016, they registered their relationship. The closest people were invited to the wedding. After the newlyweds flew to rest in Greece. On January 21, 2017, their daughter Taisiya was born.

Pelagia ( Pelageya Sergeevna Telegina) is a Russian folk singer with a peculiar voice. Pelageya is the founder and soloist of the Pelageya group, the genre of which she herself refers to rock-ethno and art-folk. Pelageya performs Russian folk songs, romances and author's compositions.

Childhood and education of Pelageya

Mother - Svetlana Khanova was a jazz singer. However, due to illness, she lost her voice. Throughout her subsequent career, Pelageya's mother worked as a director and taught acting in one of the Novosibirsk theaters. Currently, Svetlana Khanova is involved in her daughter's career. As stated in the biography of Pelagia on Wikipedia, her mother is a producer, author of lyrics for songs, arrangements, and administration also lies with Svetlana.

Pelagia does not remember her father. And reporters found the singer's stepfather, whose surname she bore in her maiden name. Andrey Khanov is an avant-garde artist. “Svetlana is my ex-wife, and Pelageya is my adopted daughter. But we do not support relations…”, he told reporters.

The artist spoke about the singer’s own father in a rather harsh form: “He didn’t give a damn about the very fact of her birth. Not to mention everything else. Svetka was a pop singer - she performed in restaurants, at discos. Hence the corresponding lifestyle. Well, it turned out that she gave birth to some scoundrel who never cared about her daughter.

At the age of 8, Pelageya Khanova became a student at a special music school at the Novosibirsk Conservatory. Pelageya turned out to be the first vocalist in the history of the institution. Here she was heard by the leader of the musical group "Kalinov Bridge" Dmitry Revyakin. The musician advised the parents to bring their daughter to the capital, where the girl could participate in the Morning Star contest.

Sklyar, Inna Zhelannaya.

By invitation Tatyana Dyachenko in 1998, Pelageya, already known to many, spoke at the summit of the heads of Russia, Germany and France. There, the girl sang for three presidents at once.

The biography on the site “Know Everything” reports that Pelageya was born so talented not only in music, but also in general development, that at the age of three she mastered the first novel - “Gargantua and Pantagruel” by Rabelais, and at the age of ten she read avidly “Masters and Margaret."

In 2016, the news reported on the romance of Pelageya and the young hockey player Ivan Telegin. Telegin is a right forward of the Kontinental Hockey League club CSKA, bronze medalist of the 2016 World Championship. Pelageya performed the country's anthem at the opening of the World Ice Hockey Championship in the capital's Park of Legends Ice Palace before the match between the national teams of Russia and the Czech Republic.

Ivan Telegin and Pelageya Khanova secretly got married in June 2016. After the wedding, Pelageya refused to participate as a coach-mentor in the 5th season of the Voice show and the new season of the Voice show. Children,” and also cut back on her singing activities to prepare for childbirth, according to her biography on Wikipedia.

The addition to the star family became known six months later, during the KHL All-Star Game in Ufa. On January 21, 2017, the singer Pelageya gave birth to Ivan Telegin's daughter Taisiya. The newly-made father was presented with a tumbler doll for his daughter. "Teammates, staff and coaching staff of the CSKA team, the administrative staff and all employees of the club congratulate the happy parents and wish them pleasant troubles, joy and patience, as well as the health of the mother and newborn."

The hockey player already has a son from a civil marriage, and Pelageya is the first child.

In general, Pelageya's romance with hockey player Telegin became a stormy news in the spring of 2016. In early February, ice colleagues congratulated Ivan Telegin on his newborn son Mark, who was presented to the hockey player by his wife Evgeny. But in the personal life of the hockey player there was already Pelageya, whom he soon married.

As Homefire wrote, “A painful affair with a married man has tormented the singer’s heart for a long time. Familiar stars are sure: Pelagia would never have dared to take her husband and father away from the family. Therefore, Ivan himself broke the vicious circle. The feeling for the talented beauty turned out to be too deep, and he simply could not live by deceit.

In 2014, Pelageya lost weight, appearing on the Voice show in a new image. At the same time, rumors spread that Pelageya allegedly lost weight thanks to a special chewing gum for weight loss, which must be chewed before meals.

In this regard, the following announcement even appeared on the official website of Pelageya:

"Attention! Anyone who wants to lose weight! In connection with the changed image of Polina, publications appeared from the supposedly Polina face - her stories about some products. Pelageya did not take any berries, poisons, mushrooms and other dietary supplements! I did not give any interviews in favor of these funds! Be careful - you are being scammed! To everyone who wants to lose weight, there is only one advice from Pelageya - proper nutrition.

Although Pelageya officially stated that she was not on social networks, official accounts on Instagram, Facebook, VKontakte are maintained on behalf of the group. Personal life and an affair with hockey player Telegin made Pelageya a popular heroine of gossip and tabloid news, although the girl always emphasized that she was not very interested in this and the group itself positioned itself as "non-format". The popularity of Pelageya, of course, was added by her participation in the TV show "Voice" on Channel One.

The biography of the singer Pelageya is difficult to describe otherwise than a "collection of achievements", and the personal life of a star is an example of a happy marriage. The number of awards and victories that the girl earned before graduation exceeds anything that many celebrities have been able to do over the decades. But this does not prevent Pelageya from striving for new heights.

Biography of Pelagia

Pelageya was born on July 14, 1986 in Novosibirsk. The mother of the future artist in her youth sang songs in the style of "jazz", but she broke her voice and Svetlana Smirnova's career as a singer stopped. The resilient woman got married, becoming Khanova and got a job in the theater as a teacher of directing and acting.

When the birth certificate was issued, the girl was registered as Polina, despite the wishes of her parents that their daughter had a different name. According to the documents, the gifted girl became Pelagia only at the age of 14 upon receipt of a passport. Svetlana Khanova noticed a talent for vocals in her daughter very early, so she tried her best to develop and encourage her.

Therefore, the little artist entered the stage at the age of 4. And at the age of 8, under the guidance of her mother, she entered a specialized general education school at the Novosibirsk Conservatory, where she studied professional vocals.

When Pelageya was 9 years old, Dmitry Revyakin, the leader of the Kalinov Most group, noticed her at a school performance. Having discovered a new talent, the musician helped the girl go to the Morning Star show.

Charming Pelageya with white hair and a voice of three octaves not only became a participant in the show, but also won first place, beating all the competition's competitors. The talented singer was awarded the title of "Best Folk Song Performer in the Russian Federation in 1996" and received a prize of one thousand US dollars.

A year later, Pelageya signed a contract with Feelee Records and went to conquer Moscow. In parallel with the development of her talents, the young artist studied at the music school at the Gnessin Institute and general education with an in-depth study of music and choreography. Participation in the show "Morning Star" brought other results. Pelagia began to receive a scholarship from the Young Talents of Siberia Foundation and became a member of the UN international program New Names of the Planet, taking part in various events and projects:

1. Not stopping there, since 1997 the artist has become the youngest participant in KVN at Novosibirsk University.
2. In 1998, Pelageya received an invitation from Tatyana Dyachenko and spoke at the summits of the heads of Russia, Germany and France at the age of 12.
3. The teenage girl regularly performed at official events and festivals, receiving new awards and adding to the list of her achievements, working with such famous performers as Vyacheslav Butusov.
4. In 1999 Pelageya recorded and released the first single "Lubo".

When the girl was 13 years old, she achieved fame at the world level. Her name was constantly heard not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also in other countries of the world. Even then, great hopes were placed on the young singer, prophesying her a great future in the field of music and opera. The purposeful singer Pelageya, whose biography already at this age was full of success and achievements, appeared on glosses around the world, and her personal life and career growth amazed and aroused admiration.

Career Development

Already in 2003, a world-class star performed on the big stage. The singer received an invitation to sing at the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg, presenting the first album "Pelageya" in the folk style. It was there that the director of the serial film "Yesenin" noticed the spectacular young blonde and invited her to shoot a movie.

After graduating from school as an external student two classes earlier than her classmates, Pelageya continued her studies at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts in the pop department. The girl, whose career began at the age of four, continued to go in the direction set by her mother. In 2005, she received a red diploma and founded a group with a loud and recognizable name "Pelageya".

The first studio album was released in 2007 with a simple and attractive title "Girls' Songs". And two years later, the performer, who became famous among the general public, performed in the show "Two Stars" paired with actress Daria Moroz.

In the same 2009, Pelageya's album, filled with drive and positive emotions, was released, recorded together with the Transbaikalia Folk Theater. The actress and vocalist presented the new collection at the Ice Palace in St. Petersburg, gathering 10,000 people.

Successful sales and filled halls inspired Pelageya to write a new album, Paths, which was released in 2010. At the same time, the talented girl became a member of the vocal improvisational opera Bobble. A year later, the singer for the unique performance of the composition "Olga" received an award by voting in the program "Property of the Republic". Also, the performer with a unique voice sang a duet with the legendary rock singer Mikhail Gorshenev the song "Oh, by the meadow, by the meadow" as part of the "Salt" project on the popular radio channel "Our Radio".

From 2012 to 2014, Pelageya Khanova accepted an offer from the writers of the Voice show, becoming a mentor for the most talented girls and guys with good artistic and vocal abilities. And from 2014 to 2016 she appeared on the TV screen as a coach-mentor for the participants of the new popular vocal show “Voice. Children”, where she worked with gifted schoolchildren from the age of 7 years. Work with the younger generation of vocalists did not go unnoticed for the artist. In June 2014, Pelageya was awarded the title of "Honored Worker of Culture of Ingushetia" during the solemn celebration of the Republic Day.

Since 2015, the artist, missing humor and interesting events in life, returned to KVN, but not as a participant, but as a member of the jury. In the same year, she was awarded the "Best Folk Artist" award, launched with the support of the Russia 1 channel and the Samfar Charitable Foundation and leading figures in the music industry.

Personal life

The first spouse in the biography of the singer Pelageya Khanova was the director of the show "Comedy Woman" Dmitry Efimovich, with whom the girl spent only two years of her personal life. The artist did not disclose the reasons for the divorce, which took place in 2012 - quietly and without publicity in the press.

In 2016, Pelageya Sergeevna and hockey player Ivan Telegin announced their engagement. In the press, along with congratulations, scandalous information immediately appeared that the singer had destroyed the athlete's family and caused him to abandon a newborn child. For a long time, the girl tried to avoid sharp corners and did not put forward any rebuttals. In this regard, the rumor about Pelageya the Razluchnitsa began to acquire new details and facts.

Ivan and Pelageya registered the marriage in the same year, on June 16, and soon the singer gave birth to a daughter, Taisia, to the hockey player. It was pregnancy that caused the singer to refuse to participate in the Voice show, where she planned to become a coach-mentor of selected talented people.

The show business star spoke about the event and how she chose a name for her daughter only in 2017 in the One Evening program. According to the singer, they decided to call the girl that way, because the name Taisiya Sergeevna is consonant with the name Telegin. The daughter of world stars was born on January 21, 2017.

The long silence of the famous pop diva, lasting more than a year, caused surprise and fear that the girl not only decided to leave the world of show business, but wished to remain in the shadows as a wife of a hockey player and a housewife. But, in October 2017, the singer decided to dispel the rumors that had arisen by starring with her husband in a documentary for Channel One called “Pelageya.

Happiness loves silence. In the film, the couple talked about what actually caused the hockey player to divorce his ex-wife. The newlyweds also expressed their mutual opinion that they do not want to talk about their personal lives in the press and support or refute the rumors that arise.

The artist and TV presenter, who disappeared from the field of view of fans and journalists, announced that she was ready to leave the decree in order to please the first and last with her new projects and achievements. In 2017, the singer Pelageya, a charming blonde whose biography and personal life have been heard for the past few years, returned to the Voice project. Since 2018, the artist plans to become a mentor for new participants in the show “Voice. Children".
