The artist admitted that she had been looking for a husband since she was 13 years old, then she became disappointed in all her fans and abandoned the idea.

The artist admitted that the secret of their 26-year marriage is simple: they grow together. At the same time, the husband does not try to tie her to him; on the contrary, he gives her a lot of freedom, and she knows that he will let her go. But she has no plans to go anywhere. “I don’t feel stuffy with him,” the artist explained.

Natalie first became pregnant at 17.5 years old. However, she suffered a miscarriage. Soon she became pregnant again, but again nothing worked out. Moreover, she developed mastopathy, she even had a puncture. Fortunately, at the age of 27, Natalie gave her husband her first child, Arseny. Now he is 16 years old and finishing school.

The singer is also raising a seven-year-old son, Anatoly. the boy loves babysitting his younger brother Evgeniy. The baby is not even a year old yet. And then Natalie made an unexpected confession. When fame fell on her after the release of the song “Oh God, what a man!”, she was pregnant.

Natalie admitted that at that time she didn’t see the world - she worked a lot, constantly went to concerts, starred in all the programs, fans were waiting for her all around, some of them were clearly inadequate. The children, according to Natalie, were also worried. Due to nervousness, her eldest heir Arseny even recovered. As a result, the artist’s pregnancy froze.

Natalie took this news hard. She had to urgently undergo an abortion, otherwise she was at risk of blood poisoning. “I know the reason. I was unable to withstand and hide, protect this child from the hassle,” Natalie said with tears in her voice. The most interesting thing is that literally the next day after the operation, the artist performed in the Kremlin. “The stage paints beautiful pictures, but you come home and cry,” Natalie stated bitterly.

Fortunately, the singer soon became pregnant again. This time she tried to renounce everything as much as possible, and she managed to easily endure the entire term and give birth to a healthy baby.

Spouse Russian star born in 1970. They met as schoolchildren, and got married in the summer of 1991. Natalie was younger than husband- Alexandra Rudina for 4 years, so her parents submitted a certificate to the registry office with false information about pregnancy.

The early marriage turned out to be very strong and the couple is still together. Alexey Rudin shares the interests of his wife; it was from him that the offer came to record several compositions for the future star. The man helped the girl a lot at the beginning of her creative career.

Family

Natalie's parents have nothing to do with show business. Father Anatoly was the head of the energy service at a chemical enterprise. Mother Lyudmila worked there as a laboratory assistant. A few years after Natalie's appearance, twins Olesya and Anton were born.

It is difficult to find photos of people together on the Internet. And Natalya doesn’t really like to talk about her family, just like. It is known that the father and mother saw the girl’s talent and contributed to its development. They gave their daughter to music school, where Natalie studied vocal and piano.

Children

The first child, Arseny, was born in 2001. Natalie could not bear the pregnancy for a long time due to numerous miscarriages, so her son was very desirable. Before giving birth, she often consulted doctors because she was worried about the boy’s health, but everything turned out okay.

In the spring of 2017, fate gave the singer another son, Evgeniy. There is a big difference between children, so the older ones make a big contribution to raising their younger brother.

Natalya Minyaeva was born on March 31, 1974 in the city of Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region. Father - Anatoly Nikolaevich, power engineer. Mom - Lyudmila Pavlovna, laboratory assistant. Younger sister and brother - Olesya and Anton.

Natasha also independently learned to play the guitar, actively participated in competitions and amateur art shows, and composed songs based on her own poems, which she successfully performed at school holidays and concerts.

As a schoolgirl, Natasha became very popular in hometown. At the age of 15, she was invited as a soloist to a vocal and instrumental ensemble, where her younger brother Anton was the drummer. Her first concert took place at a local cultural center. After the performance, she met her future husband, sound engineer Alexander Rudin, in whose studio her musical career began.

In 1990, Natalya played main role in a documentary and journalistic film dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the city of Dzerzhinsk, which was filmed by Moscow filmmakers.

On August 24, 1991, Natalya Minyaeva and Alexander Rudin got married. During the marriage, the couple had sons Arseny (2001) and Anatoly (2010).

Natalie: “I got married at 17 and have been married for 22 years. We met when I was still in school. I was 16 years old, and Alexander was 20. By that time, I was already tired of being friends with boys, and in general, I had been looking for a husband since I was 13... My future husband came up to me at a rock festival, where I performed for the first time, and said: "Girl, let's record songs." That's how it all began..."

After the pedagogical school, Natasha worked for some time as a primary school teacher, but then she decided to radically change her destiny and went to Moscow with her husband. At first Natalya was the lead singer of the Chocolate Bar group, and then she became part of more famous group“Pop Galaxy”, where she recorded a number of songs.

In 1994, Natalia Minyaeva’s debut album “The Little Mermaid” was released, in which she performed as a performer and author of almost all the songs. He also took the creative pseudonym “Natalie”.

Real fame came to the singer in 1998 after the release of the super hit “The Wind from the Sea Blowed”, which for many years business card singer and immediately entered all the charts of that time.

Childhood

According to the star, music always lived in her heart, but in school years she did not dream of a career as a singer, although she studied at a music school, and she herself asked her parents to record her. In addition to piano and vocal lessons, Natasha independently learned to play the guitar and tried to select music for her poems.

Natasha was a very active girl, she tried to participate in all school parties, and when she was sixteen, the pretty blonde girl was noticed by Leningrad filmmakers, and she starred in the documentary film “My City” directed by Evgeniy Ovchinnikov. Natasha read voice-over text about her hometown and its attractions and played the main role. She looked as natural as possible, portraying the dreamy schoolgirl that, in fact, she was.

First steps to success

One of Natalie's first performances (1990)

The group released two albums, “Superboy” and “Starry Rain”, which became as popular as the songs of the groups “Mirage” and “Tender May”, they were played in the courtyards, not a single school disco was complete without them.

Especially young people new Russia I liked the song “Superboy”, which was actually a cover of Linda Jo Rizzo’s composition “You"re My First, You"re My Last”, and the song “Love and Space”, a rehash of the composition The group Flirts "Helpless".

After graduating from school, Natalya Minyaeva entered a pedagogical college in Dzerzhinsk, but she did not have a chance to work in her specialty for long, only a year. In 1993, after graduating from college, she, already the wife of Alexander Rudin, soon left for Moscow, where she began her creative career.

Popularity

The project called “Natalie” began working in full force in 1996, with the release of the collection “Snow Rose”, but, despite all the efforts of the singer and her producer, it did not become popular. In the same year, Natalya and Alexander moved to Moscow, in anticipation of a breakthrough, she performed as an opening act for Kai Metov, but the breakthrough came later, when she showed Valery a cassette with songs that she sang during her school years. Among them was the song “The Wind Blowed from the Sea.”

Valery Ivanov’s instincts did not let him down, and soon after the release of the album, named after the title song “The Wind from the Sea Blowed,” the young singer, as they say, woke up famous, but he did not have time to answer phone calls with offers of concerts.

Natalie herself, according to her, did not expect such success, because she knew this song since youth, from the time I first heard it sung with a guitar by the older guys in the pioneer camp.

Natalie – The wind was blowing from the sea

In 1999, the singer released the album “Counting,” which included fourteen compositions, many of which she wrote herself. The Russians warmly received Natalie’s new songs: “Boat”, “Stars fell from the sky”, “Smile” and “Clouds”.

The listeners especially liked the new performance of the famous New Year's hit “ New Year's toys", but how could it be otherwise, because its authors were Andrei Dementyev and Arkady Khoralov, who sang it in a duet with a young singer. For the first time, residents of the USSR heard this song in 1988; it was published on the composer’s album “ Strange world", and Aurika Rotaru, sister of Sofia Rotaru, sang it with him at that time.

Natalie – Turtle

Since 2000, Natalie’s songs have ceased to be heard on the radio, however, contrary to rumors, she did not end her career, but continued to work on new material and released several albums between 2000 and 2012.

According to critics, many songs from the albums “First Love”, “Don’t Fall in Love”, “Seventeen Moments of Love” and others were more worthy than a simple “yard” song about the wind from the sea, but to surpass its success, or at least repeat none of them succeeded. The song that came closest, perhaps, was “Turtle” from the album “First Love.”

Where did Natalie go?

In addition, the singer started having problems psychological nature. It always seemed to her that her popularity was undeserved, that the love of her listeners was given to her as an “advance” that had to be worked out carefully.

I always dreamed of being a teacher in primary school, graduated from a pedagogical school... Apparently, this was the root of my depression. I depressed myself so much that at some point I stopped leaving the house.

As a result, Natalie lost the joy of going on stage, then she began to be afraid of the crowd, and attacks of depression began. In 2002, she refused the services of Valery Ivanov and disappeared from the radar.

Sometimes she reminded herself of herself, taking part in television projects like “Superstar-2008” and “Musical Ring” (2011), and in 2009 she released a new album “17 Moments of Love”, which remained unnoticed. By the beginning of the 2010s, the singer was listed as a “forgotten star of the 90s” and a “one-hit wonder.” But very soon Natalie not only reminded herself of herself - she made a loud comeback to the stage, instantly eliminating herself from the category of “downed pilots.”

Return to the stage

The triumphant return to the top of the Russian musical Olympus took place in the fall of 2012. As the singer said in an interview, the words of the song were sent to her by a woman named Rosa Siemens, a Russian woman living in Germany, a freelance poet. After reading the poems, the singer was so imbued with their simple, but at the same time deep content, corresponding to her mood, that a melody immediately began to sound in her head. According to Natalie, everything happened so quickly that she did not notice the birth of the song, which deafened her with the second wave of popularity.

Natalie - Oh my God, what a man

The extraordinary success of the song “Oh God, what a man” returned Natalie to one of the brightest stars in Russia and she was awarded several music awards. The song, which became Natalie’s second calling card, did not leave the first line of the Golden Gramophone hit parade on Russian Radio for almost two months, and the video clip for it received more than two million views in the first months alone.

In 2013, Natalie wrote the song “Nikolai,” which she performed with Nikolai Baskov, amusingly beating the competition between a blond and a blonde on stage, and the next year she presented the album “Scheherazade.”

Nikolay Baskov ft Natalie – Nikolay

The video for the title track, in which she appeared in unexpectedly provocative images, secured her place on Russian stage and gave her new fans. At the time of the release of the video clip, the singer was already forty years old, and the Russians could not help but notice her excellent shape, which, according to her, she does not make any effort to maintain.

In 2015, Natalie recorded a video clip for the song “You Are Like That,” which she performed with musician from Uzbekistan Dostonbek Islamov, better known as rapper Doni.

Natalie ft. Doni – You are like that

Working on the album “Oh, God, what a man!” Natalie and her team completed by 2016, a collection that promised to be the most significant in creative biography singer, included fifteen songs, including the famous “The Wind Blew from the Sea” and “Oh God, What a Man,” as well as new versions of songs from previous years’ albums.

Participation in TV shows

When Natalie portrayed the singer Valeria, Valeria herself allegedly unexpectedly appeared on stage, but the singers turned out to be so similar that the presenter Alexander Oleshko began to see double. All members of the judging commission, Gennady Khazanov, Leonid Yarmolnik, Maxim Averin, and even the strict Lyubov Kazarnovskaya, noted the professionalism and delicacy with which Natalie represented her colleague. Anna Shulgina, Valeria's daughter, stated that Natalie was able to very accurately notice and convey the movements of her mother's legs.

Exactly the same. Natalie as Valeria

A year later, Anna will also take part in the famous show and introduce Natalie with the song “You Are Like That,” and the charismatic Doni will help her with this. By the way, Anna Ardova and Leonid Yarmolnik did not recognize Anna Shulgina, and Gennady Khazanov thought that Elena Temnikova was on stage. I guessed that the singer was portrayed by Valeria’s daughter, only Lyubov Kazarnovskaya.

In the fall of 2016, Natalie became the heroine of the show “Battle of Psychics”; sixteen magicians tried to “scan” her. The singer was especially impressed by the abilities of the outrageous witch from Riga Julia Wang, who calls herself the embodiment of Evil, and the St. Petersburg clairvoyant Victoria Raidos. According to Natalie, during the recording of the episode, she believed that the magicians were real, and not guest actors.

The artist also said that participation in the famous show and communication with psychics helped her rethink a lot and draw conclusions. Otar Kushanashvili, a famous wit and joker, said on this occasion that believing that the participants in the show are psychics is about the same as believing that Natalie is a singer. Interesting fact is that Otar, who spoke so unflatteringly about Natalie and her musical abilities, in his own words, has been friends with her for many years.

Natalie's personal life

Alexander is only four years older than Natalya; they met in Dzerzhinsk, at a rock concert in the House of Culture, where she performed as part of school group. Natalie says that that day she was afraid of the audience, because for the first time she appeared on stage in a short skirt and was not prepared for the reaction of some spectators, who were not at all shy in expressing their delight at the sight of her slender legs.

She was introduced to Alexander by Dmitry Gerasimov, a musician and her senior friend, who then worked as a sound engineer at the House of Culture. At first, Natalya thought that the tall, dark-haired young man would invite her on a date or to a movie, but he offered to help her record her first collection, which was eventually released in 1994 and was called “Provincial Girl.”

Natalie also says that she dreamed of becoming a teacher and did not think at all about a creative career, because music was a hobby for her. The idea to start making music professionally belonged to Alexander, but two months after they met, Natalie realized that he was her destiny.

Seventeen-year-old Natalya and twenty-year-old Alexander were able to get married with the help of the parents of the young bride, who provided, as required by the laws of the USSR, a fake pregnancy certificate. On August 24, 1991, the lovers got married.

According to Natalie, she grew up with Alexander, and at every stage of her life he was perfect for her. Rudin never tried to control his young artist wife, did not show that he was jealous of her and provided her with maximum freedom.

The couple tried to conceive a child for almost ten years, but in vain. At the age of 17, she lost her child for the first time. A few years later the situation repeated itself. The superstitious singer believed that this was retribution for a fake pregnancy certificate. Thoughts also came to mind that by constantly repeating the words “the wind was blowing from the sea, bringing trouble,” she was really inviting trouble. The artist began to go to church and pray to God for a child.

But the fears turned out to be in vain. In 2001, her first-born Arseny was born, whose birth Natalie perceived as a miracle. She didn’t even think about having a second child until, at the age of eight, her son began begging for a brother or sister. So in 2010, Natalie became the mother of baby Anatoly.

The fate of man. Natalie

In 2013, just after the release of the hit “Oh God, What a Man,” Natalie became pregnant again. Due to the overwhelming attention, busy concert schedule and constant stress the pregnancy stopped. The singer had to have an abortion. Afterwards, Natalie reproached herself for a long time for not being able to “stand and hide, protect this child from the hassle.”

The third son of Natalia and Alexander was born when they both had already stopped hoping for another child, in 2017. At the time of Zhenya’s birth, the artist was already 43 years old.

Alexander is rarely seen in photos next to him famous wife, and in her video clip he appeared only once - in the video for the song “The Wind Blowed from the Sea,” which was significant for her creative biography.

Having become a guest of Lera Kudryavtseva in the show “Secret for a Million,” in which celebrities reveal their secrets for a monetary reward, the singer said that injections of hyaluronic acid and Botox help her maintain the youth and beauty of her skin, and she also did a procedure using so-called gold threads.

Natalie’s impeccable figure has been the envy of Russians, and not only women, for many years, but it is not at all the result of grueling workouts in the gym. As the singer says, she does not adhere to diets, but she tries to eat little and almost all homework does it herself, refusing to hire an au pair. Natalie’s hobby is esotericism; after participating in the show “Battle of Psychics,” she often consults with Victoria Raidos, who, according to the singer, helped her give birth to her third child.

Singer Natalie now

During the more than two hours that the program lasted, Natalie shared with the audience the details of her life. She talked about how she met Alexander, how she came to God and how she begged for sons from Saint Panteleimon. The singer did not explain how faith in God fits with visits to psychics and fortune-tellers, but she spoke about cosmetic procedures and aesthetic surgery on the breast, which she decided on against the will of her husband, who feared for her health.

During the recording of the show, Natalie sang one of her last songs, a very touching and beautiful lyrical composition “How sweet it is to be a mother,” and the audience listened to it with tears in their eyes. The music for this song was written by Natalie herself, and the words were written by Simon Osiashvili, who gave the Russians the songs “Old Grandmothers”, sung by Vyacheslav Dobrynin, “Winter Garden”, performed by Alexey Glyzin, and many other famous songs.

At the end of 2018, the hosts of the Muz-TV channel “asked to visit” Natalie, who had moved to a new spacious apartment. Natalie showed the house, outfits and accessories, talked about the things she loves most, and shared family stories that are associated with them. After watching this episode of the show “Ask for It,” viewers noted the singer’s modesty, her sense of tact and the complete absence of symptoms of star fever, which, unfortunately, struck many of her colleagues.

We asked for it. Visiting singer Natalie

In the same year, the premiere of the video clip for the song “I am without weapons” took place, which Natalie recorded with Sultan Hurricane, famous for hits“Valenki” and “Come in large numbers.” The singer posted photos from the shooting on her Instagram, but subscribers criticized her image and outfits and called her a forty-five-year-old girl, noting “an inappropriate emphasis on immaturity and even childishness.” However, it was mainly women who criticized Natalia, and men, on the contrary, spoke out in support of the singer’s new image, noted her beauty and excellent physical shape, which was so emphasized by provocative, daring large-check tights, a romantic dress, pink lipstick and black patent leather boots with spikes.

In the fall of 2019, after almost a year of silence, Natalie posted on YouTube the song “Dream Man,” written for her by Pavel Vinogradov and designed in her signature retro dance style. The artist announced the premiere of the song in in social networks, wished her fans love and joy, and expressed hope that her song would fill Russians with happy emotions.
