Now Kudryavtseva is sure that it is impossible to get into Russian show business "from the street" - connections and useful acquaintances are needed everywhere. However, the girl does not disclose the details of her hit on the air, in addition to the help of Igor Vernik. According to one version, Valeria was helped by her first husband, a musician of the once popular band "Tender May".
From the very first filming, Lera Kudryavtseva showed herself on the good side and established herself as a first-class presenter. Since 1995, Kudryavtseva has hosted such programs as "Party Zone" and "Muzoboz" on TV-6, as well as "Test of Fidelity" on Muz-TV and participated in the "Club of Ex-Wives" project on TNT. She became one of the multiple hosts of the musical shows "Song of the Year", "Muz-TV Prize" and "New Wave".
But the ambitious Lera decided not to forget about her acting education. As an actress, Kudryavtseva made her debut in 2004 in the TV series Streets of Broken Lights. Cops 6". In 2006 and 2007, Lera took part in the filming of the continuation of the film about law enforcement officers: “Streets of Broken Lights. Cops 7" and "Cops 8" (2006, 2007).
In 2007, the film "On the Roof of the World" followed, and then - "The Best Film" (2007), where Lera played a girl of easy virtue in the company of other socialites. In 2008, Lera became the heroine of three more films: Adventurers, Oh, Lucky Man and A Very Russian Detective.
Since 2009, Lera, together with Andrei Razygraev, has hosted the Cultural Exchange program on the TV Center TV channel. In 2011, the presenter starred in an erotic photo shoot for MAXIM magazine, which earned her the title of one of the "most desirable women" of the year.
In 2013, Kudryavtseva launched her own program on Muz-TV "Show with Lera Kudryavtseva", where Lera acted as a provocative interviewer for the guests of the show - celebrities of Russian show business.
Personal life of Lera Kudryavtseva
The first husband of Lera was the musician of the group "Tender May" Sergey Lenyuk, with whom they signed in 1990. At the age of 18, Kudryavtseva gave birth to his son Jean, whom she named after her favorite actor Jean-Claude Van Damme. 
The marriage with Lenyuk lasted only two years - family happiness broke into life. The couple lived with their mother-in-law, which depressed Leroux. In addition to everyday troubles, the husband cheated on the girl with fans. At one point, Kudryavtseva's patience snapped, she took her son and left her husband. Lera was going through a breakup very hard - she fell into depression and became addicted to alcohol. However, the girl found the strength to return to normal life.
The second time Lera married businessman Matvey Morozov in 2004. The couple signed three months after they met. Both spouses worked hard and rarely crossed paths at home. However, this union also ended in divorce - 3 years later, when Matvey Morozov was imprisoned for fraud and illegal border crossing.
The TV presenter hid the details of her personal life with her second husband for a long time, and explained the constant absence of her other half by the fact that her husband goes on business trips abroad. According to investigators, the swindler deceived more than 660 people in the amount of 12 million rubles. As all the details of his business were revealed, Kudryavtseva filed for divorce.
"Alone with everyone" with Lera Kudryavtseva
In 2008, Lera Kudryavtseva found her happiness with
Initially, Kudryavtseva wanted to give birth abroad, but changed her mind about leaving the country and chose one of the clinics near Moscow. In order not to endanger the baby and have more rest in the fresh air, Lera and her husband moved out of town.

Now the happy spouses are finishing the last preparations for the birth of a child - equipping the nursery and looking for a nanny. Kudryavtseva is very picky in choosing an assistant, for example, she is categorically against the Russians, the TV presenter considers them talkative and intrusive.
“She won’t load her mother with troubles with the baby, she’s already aged, pressure ... Her daughter is kind to her,” the artist’s friend Galina Merz shared with StarHit.
Because of the upcoming birth, Kudryavtseva refuses herself in many ways. For example, the TV presenter no longer does face and body massages. “Because of the situation, all this is impossible. Even creams are treated with caution! He is worried that their components can cause allergies,” the TV presenter said in her favorite salon.
At the same time, Lera does not sit idle and continues to develop. For example, she finally found time for guitar lessons. “For her, it’s like a hobby! I chose the least extreme and dangerous of what was possible, more precisely, of those to which the soul lies,” explained Kudryavtseva’s teacher Pavel Golubev.
The teacher noted that despite the situation, the artist is incredibly diligent and making progress. “At the moment, we took a short break, but agreed to resume lessons without fail immediately after she becomes a mother,” the teacher explained.
She does not complain of ailments and is regularly published. For the artist, this will be the second child. The TV presenter already has an adult son Jean, he is 28 years old.
The entire period of Lera Kudryavtseva's pregnancy was accompanied by various rumors and speculation. The press discussed her new pictures, and netizens wondered if the 47-year-old TV presenter was pregnant, or was she still?
Many said that the celebrity agreed to surrogate motherhood, and she herself wore a false belly all the time. After the birth of her daughter, all these rumors only surged with renewed vigor.
"More like a three month old baby", noted in the comments. Netizens again began to suggest that in fact the child was born a few months ago and from another mother.
Lera Kudryavtseva herself reacted to criticism rather restrainedly and severely: “Are you out of your mind? I gave birth myself. As much as you'd like to hear something else. Deal with it. The child is dressed in a large warm jumpsuit, she is a baby. Stop looking for a needle in a haystack." After that, the TV presenter hid her Instagram account.
It should be mentioned that there were many women who supported the star. Some confirmed that 47 years is not the age at which one should refuse to have a child, others recalled cases of women in labor who were over 60.
The celebrity previously stated that she is now enjoying motherhood and does not intend to hire a nanny, but it seems that plans will have to be adjusted in the near future. In September, the presenter will once again plunge into work.
On September 4, the star will begin hosting the New Wave competition for young performers in Sochi. This decision was hard for her, but how can you miss the event if you are considered one of the main mascots of this competition?
Sources said: “Lera considered the possibility of refusing to participate in this event, because the baby could appear later than the deadline. But everything, fortunately, happened on time. Therefore, the young mother, who is the real symbol and muse of Igor Krutoy's project, decided to interrupt her maternity leave. And it was not the easiest decision, because she will have to part with the baby for a whole week..
It is assumed that all this time the girl will be with her grandmother - Alexandra Ivanovna, as well as nannies. The TV presenter herself has already plunged into the chores and worries associated with the upcoming competition.
Insiders shared that she took up the selection of outfits and is trying to return to her former shape: “Now Lera’s main fitness is connected with raising a four-kilogram lump of happiness, she is not separated from Masha for a minute. She tries to eat right, because during pregnancy she gained a dozen extra pounds and has a complex about this. ”.
Earlier on the Web it was reported that Kudryavtseva became not only a mother for the second time, but also a grandmother -. I would like to congratulate the star again!
There is an addition to the family of TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva and former striker of the Ak Bars hockey club Igor.
The 47-year-old presenter posted a touching photo of her newborn daughter's legs on her Instagram.
According to media reports, the child was born in a clinic near Moscow. The mother and baby are reported to be doing well. She did not say how the parents named the girl.
Makarov first became a dad, while Lera has a son from his first marriage - Jean Lenyuk.
It is noteworthy that earlier Kudryavtseva became a grandmother. The grandson was named Leo in honor of the father of the TV presenter - Lev Nikolaevich.
Lera and Igor got married on June 8, 2013. Despite the 16-year age difference, the couple is happily married.
Rumors that the family is expected to replenish, began a few months ago. Information about the pregnancy was confirmed by a well-known TV presenter.
“Today the secret has become clear. Lera is going to become a mother again. And the fact that her husband, hockey player Igor Makarov, is only three years older than her 26-year-old son from her first marriage, the diva considers only a plus.
So in the last “free” days before the approaching fatherhood, she decided to pamper her husband by arranging for him a trip, but not to the World Cup in Copenhagen, but to the eternal city of Rome. There, a happy couple is waiting for the sun, wine and, for sure, beautiful, romantic nights, ”Malakhov wrote in his column.
For a while, Kudryavtseva disappeared from the field of view of fans. This provoked the emergence of information that the presenter had already given birth.
In early August, Lera turned to Facebook users with a question about the vaccination of newborns.
“Question for moms. Have you vaccinated your newborns? If so, which ones? I just read horrors, ”Kudryavtseva wrote.
For Lera, this is the third marriage. The first husband of Kudryavtseva was the drummer of the group "Tender May" Sergey Lenyuk. They got married in 1990, but two years later the couple decided to divorce.
The second marriage also did not last long. Kudryavtseva signed with a Russian businessman in 2004, and already in 2007 they broke up.
In the summer of 2017, there were rumors that the relationship between Kudryavtseva and Makarov also cracked. The reason for the appearance of such conversations was the fact that the presenter published photos on the social network without her husband. Information about the breakup was denied by Lera herself.
“Igor was at the training camp and is now in Nizhny Novgorod at the games. He plays in Ufa, that's why there are strange rumors. I forwarded the message to my husband, he does not understand what is happening. There are no photos of us together on my Instagram, so people thought. Everyone is waiting for a divorce, ”StarHit quotes Leroux.
Makarov is now having a difficult period in his career. After the end of the 2017/18 season in the Kontinental Hockey League, Salavat Yulaev Ufa terminated the contract with the player by mutual agreement of the parties. In July, information appeared that the forward could join the Dynamo Moscow squad, but the transfer to the capital club did not take place.
Last season, Makarov played 50 games in the KHL regular season and scored 12 (6+6) points. In 12 playoff meetings, he scored 3 (1+2) points.
Replenishment is expected in the family of another Russian hockey player -.
Last year, the captain of the Washington Capitals National Hockey League club played a wedding with the daughter of a famous actress.
The wife of the owner of the Stanley Cup, in a recent conversation with subscribers on Instagram, told where she was going to give birth to a child.
“There are a lot of questions on this topic.
Since my husband works in America, he needs to be here at the time when I am given birth. For me, the main thing is that on this day he was there, that’s why we decided to give birth in America, ”
“In any case, our child will be Russian,” Shubskaya added.
“It's good to love Russia while living in the USA, give birth in the best clinics in the world.... Yes, and the child automatically receives US citizenship. The alternate airfield is ready for him,” wrote one Twitter user.

The husband of Lera Kudryavtseva is no longer hiding anything.
The popular TV presenter, who hosts the Secret for a Million show, is very good at keeping the secrets of her personal life. For several months now, her fans have been wondering: is Lera really pregnant?
Kudryavtseva only smiles mysteriously at all questions. But the facts seem to support this version.
Five years ago, the TV presenter married hockey player Igor Makarov, who is 16 years younger than her. And then she said that she really wants to give birth to a child to her young husband. Since then, publications have appeared in the press with enviable regularity that she is preparing to become a mother.
"LET THEY PUCK ON ME!"
The last wave of rumors took place a year ago, also in May. Then Kudryavtseva, as now, suddenly began to appear in public in loose outfits, and in all the photos for some reason she covered her stomach with her hands or her purse.
When journalists directly asked Leroux whether she could really be congratulated on her upcoming motherhood, she gave a rather detailed answer:
The family must be with children. I hope that health will allow us to become parents.
Theoretically, I accept the achievements of medicine and rejoice when I hear that a woman has become a mother thanks to IVF or a surrogate mother helped her. Any way is good for a big goal. But if you talk about yourself, I want everything to happen naturally. Every time they write that I am in a position, I say: “Your words are in the ears of God.” Let me get scolded!
Then talk about pregnancy again turned out to be just talk: tight outfits replaced loose dresses, and for some time the topic of future motherhood was forgotten. Until this year...
"THE STOMACH IS INCREDIBLE"

About the interesting position of the TV presenter, they once again began to whisper about a month ago. Then the most attentive fans noticed that Lera recovered somewhat and again switched from tight dresses to oversize clothes.
Well, when the couple went to Rome together, a couple of photographs left no doubt that Kudryavtseva was “in position”. Moreover, these pictures were not published by Leroy herself, but by her young husband.
In general, if we compare the accounts of Kudryavtseva and Makarov during their Roman holidays, the difference is very noticeable: on the TV presenter’s Instagram, she still looks more fit, but Igor chose pictures for publication in the same scenery and from similar angles, but on which is clearly visible rounded tummy.
How can one not recall some interviews with Kudryavtseva, in which she said that her husband is a direct person who does not like conspiracies, secrets and intrigues?
Later, when the couple returned to Russia, Igor again pleased the audience with a “pregnant” photo: in the picture he hugs Lera, who chose a very spacious white dress and under which her stomach is clearly visible.
Fans of the couple immediately began to speculate who they will be born. Most were inclined to believe that the shape of the abdomen speaks for itself: there will be a boy.
True, there were also skeptics who began to assure that the TV presenter definitely wears a false belly. Like, at this age (and Lera turned 47 in May), a woman is already out of childbearing age, and her stomach looks somehow strange.
“At 47 years old, then? Hardly... The belly is implausible. And the face is also not a pregnant woman, she gave birth twice, I know what kind of face it becomes. The surrogate bears, most likely, and they create a legend here. All this is disgusting, of course ... ”,“ Another Ksenia Sobchak. With a false belly? - "experts" immediately began to comment.
PREGNANT BUT AFRAID
Since Lera herself does not comment on a possible pregnancy, we talked with a close friend from her entourage. And he confirmed to us that the TV presenter is really expecting a baby. And the increased secrecy is explained by the fact that the expectant mother is simply afraid.
It has long been known that the older the woman, the greater the risk of giving birth to a child with some genetic abnormalities. Down syndrome is diagnosed at the 10th week of pregnancy. That is why, according to the source, before this time, the TV presenter and her husband were even afraid to whisper about possible motherhood.
And only when the tests were normal, Igor Makarov was the first to decide on the publication of "pregnant" photos. However, Lera still does not comment on the upcoming changes in her life - after all, at her age, anything can really happen.
Recall that the TV presenter has a son, Jean, born in his first marriage with the drummer of the Laskovy May group, Sergei Lenyuk.
Today, Jean is already a very adult young man, he is only a few years younger than his mother's new husband.
The TV presenter married hockey player Igor Makarov in 2013. At first, Lera recalls, she did not take the young man seriously. When Igor approached her to meet her in one of the restaurants, she just laughed. Still, the age difference is quite serious. But Makarov was not embarrassed.
Everything coincided perfectly: he did not like younger girls, but I was not interested in men older than myself, - Lera laughs today. Of course, at first they were haunted by whispers behind their backs: they say, she married a young man, he would soon leave her.
But we did not pay attention, because there is no one rule for everyone, - says Kudryavtseva. - It's not about age: nothing good happened with husbands of the same age. And here is an idyll. Puff-puff-puff...
In this idyllic picture, only a joint child was missing. But it seems that soon this gap will be filled ...
