Kostya tszyu family life. Tszyu's mother-in-law: “After Kostya left my daughter, she and her children had to move to a rented apartment. And Natalia now has someone
Kostya Ju, a phenomenal boxer and a great athlete who has suffered only one defeat in the ring, strives to be a winner in life. After 20 years of marriage with his first wife Natalia, he was not afraid to drastically change his life. He met a woman, fell in love, and immediately confessed this to his wife. Divorce for Natalia was painful, and for Kostya Ju - a natural phenomenon. This is where everything went.
Athlete's first wife
With his first wife Natalya Kostya met in one of the bars in Serov's hometown. The athlete gave her his phone number, and the girl called back after a while. Love at first sight did not work. Young people went to the pool together, to the skating rink.
Kostya devoted most of his time to sports, and there was simply no time for a whirlwind romance. After his Olympic victory in Sydney and an offer to work in Australia, Kostya unexpectedly offered Natalya to go with him. The proposal for a hairdresser from provincial Serov was unheard of, and she happily agreed.
Life on the new continent was not easy for Kostya at first. A foreign country, laws, language - adaptation took place with great difficulty. Natalia had to endure and be strong. As Natalya herself recalls, Kostya is one of those people who cannot stand tears and complaints. She needed to be the rear, the wall and the support for her husband, and Natalia tried her best.
In 1995, the couple had their first child, and he moved his parents to the Green Continent. Natalia recalls that for 9 years they lived with his mother, tolerated each other and tried to maintain good relations.
The spouse moved away from all everyday and social problems, leaving Natalia to solve all the cases. “He had to train and win, and i did everything possible so that he would not be distracted by everyday problems».
Then a second son was born, then a daughter. Natalya also took care of children. The crisis happened at the moment when Kostya Ju lost Ricky Hatton and decided to end his career. An athlete who has young years only engaged in boxing, lives from fight to fight, it is very difficult to sharply reorganize for ordinary life.
He expected support from his wife, but she did not seem to feel the inner drama of her husband. She began to actively engage in the family business, hinting to her husband that he could take over some of the household chores.
Kostya Dzyu was getting ready for Moscow. At that time he had a wonderful home in Australia, home for his parents and sister. He could calmly rest on his laurels, but the life of an Australian pensioner oppressed Kostya. The champion returned to Russia.
New woman
In Moscow, he met Tatyana Avernia. He just picked up the phone, not thinking that he would ever dial her number. Kostya recalls: “ There was something in her ... a forgotten feeling of warmth, probably". Kostya felt that Tatiana was the only person who was ready to support him. He called, sympathy arose.
Kostya informed his wife about his new romance immediately. That is why he does not consider himself a traitor. Natalia was very worried about the upcoming divorce, but Kostya had already decided everything. He spoke about his ex-wife like this:
“There is no need to introduce the 18-year-old hairdresser Natasha from Serov. That Natalia has been gone for a long time. Today Natalia has a Porsche and Bentley in her garage, such a status lady.
Ju was preparing the divorce carefully so that everything would be laid out on the shelves. He left all his property to his wife and children. Natalia refused alimony, but he still pays her money for the children.
Kostya speaks very warmly about his new wife: “She is neat, she cleans up our apartment endlessly. I offered her to find an assistant, but she refused, does not like strangers in the house. "
The athlete fully trusts his new life friend. For example, she manages all of Kostya's money. He's so used to it. When in 1985 he received 1,000 rubles a month (compared to the average salary in the USSR of 120 rubles), and gave all the money to his parents. It is more convenient for him when one of his relatives manages the money.
In 2015, Tatyana and Kostya had a son, Vladimir, and in 2016, a daughter, Victoria. Kostya admits that he enjoys late fatherhood. Due to being very busy, Kostya practically did not see his first three children, and he does not like a soul in his little son and daughter.
In Boris Korchevnikov's program "The Fate of a Man" Kostya admitted that at the beginning of the relationship with Tatyana, they had to go through difficult times... The couple was under enormous pressure from the public. Tatiana was accused of destroying the family. On the other hand, the divorce procedure lasted quite a long time, and Tatyana listened to different opinions that Ju would not leave the family.
Kostya himself was forced to listen to statements that Tatyana needed the Kostya Ju brand, and not himself. Lovers overcame difficulties together, and time put everything in its place.
Another beautiful love story told me to live long. But it seemed that Kostya Tszyu, correct in all respects, was not capable of treason.
WEDDING PLAYED IN SEROV
We met Kostya in 1989 in Serov, in a bar where the girls and I went to drink coffee after work, '' Natalya Tszyu recalled in an interview. - I then worked as a hairdresser. Kostya was there with his company, they invited us to join. I was 17 years old, Kostya was 20, but he was already a local celebrity. At first we just talked in the same company, went to the cinema, to discos, to picnics. And after winning the World Championships in Sydney in 1991, Kostya returned to Serov, came to my mother and said that he had been offered a contract, and he was taking me with him to Australia.
Tszyu's wife once admitted that the first time in Australia she was very sad.
I cried and asked to go home, - Natalya admitted. - But Kostya brought me to my senses: "You can't give up out of the blue." He already had victories on his account, and I understood what all this meant for him. I couldn't leave him alone.
But the couple in love nevertheless played the wedding in their native Serov.
In 1993 we came home to Serov. We sat at my house, and Kostya officially asked my mother for permission to marry me. We got married a week later. It was very difficult to buy a dress in Serov, my mother found a dressmaker who quickly sewed it, and the shoes were sent from Moscow, however, they turned out to be too small, but had to be patient ...
"KOSTYA IS GONE ANOTHER THREE YEARS AGO"
The beautiful couple have three children: 19-year-old Timofey, 15-year-old Nikita and 11-year-old Nastya. But lately, the ex-absolute world boxing champion regularly visited Moscow and spent less and less time in his native Australia. It turned out there was a good reason for that.
Mother-in-law Bones Tszyu complains about son-in-law
Tszyu left the family three years ago. All this time he lived in Moscow. It's just that she and Natasha decided not to advertise their breakup, - says the niece of Konstantin's wife Ekaterina. - But she and Natasha decided to divorce only now.
- Does Natalia have someone now?
But most of all because of the breakup of Konstantin and Natalia, her mother, Valentina Sergeevna, is worried. She told "KP" what is happening now in the once happy family.
I knew for a long time that my daughter broke up with Kostya, - the woman sighs. - But I did not try to reconcile them. I know that if Kostya is up to something, it means that it cannot be changed. Talking to him is useless.
- Have you seen Tszyu for a long time?
Last time I called him in the spring of 2012. Kostya was already living in Moscow then. Natasha told me that my husband left them. And then I called Kostya myself and asked: "Is it true that you no longer live with Natasha?" And he threw himself in response: “How do you know? Who told you?"
- With whom will your grandchildren stay after the divorce?
Of course, with Natasha. How are they without her?
- And how will Kostya be without children? He loves them.
He made his own choice. Nobody pushed him. Children have known for a long time that dad will no longer live with mom. Now Kostya rarely visits them - three or four times a year. Tomorrow he will fly from Moscow to Australia. I think to see my mother. But, I hope, it will come to the children too. By the way, Kostya's parents are also unhappy that their son has left his family.
- What do you think, why did Kostya leave?
Love has passed, apparently. Probably tired of the former wife. So I fell in love with a young woman. This girl is younger than Natasha.
- There are rumors that Tszyu met her on the show "Dancing on Ice" ...
No! He skated with Masha Petrova. And this one is definitely not a dancer or a skater. I just found her somewhere in Moscow. But he continued to hide behind children and Natasha, and he himself lived with her.
- How is Natalia holding up?
Everything has already burned out. Of course, she cries and worries. One with three children was left. For so long they built this huge three-story house. And now it had to be put up for sale ...
- Didn't Konstantin leave the mansion to Natalia?
No. Natasha has to rent an apartment. Alone, she simply would not have pulled this house.
- Did your daughter really decide to give up child support?
Not really. Kostya still helps the guys, sends them money.
- What is Natalia doing now?
She learns everything. Both business and accounting. Already receiving the third diploma. When they built the mansion, all the calculations were on it.
- Natalia is not going to return to Russia?
No. In the summer, my daughter came to Serov for her dad's funeral. Spent five days here.
- Has Kostya arrived?
He did not even call, did not bring condolences! And the grandchildren did not arrive either. The plane tickets are so expensive ...
The divorce proceedings of Konstantin and Natalia Tszyu will take place on December 3 in Sydney. Moreover, the boxer himself will not come to him. The papers will be sent to him by express mail.
The boxer and his new passion, the beautiful Tatiana, no longer hide their relationship
Another famous Russian couple announced their divorce: Kostya TsZYu broke up with his wife after 20 years of marriage. Even three children, who are growing up with the athlete, did not save the family. In fact, the marriage of the spouses broke up three years ago, when the boxer began to visit Moscow more and more, and his family, meanwhile, lived in Australia. And now the couple announced a divorce. The divorce proceedings of Konstantin and Natalia Tszyu will take place on December 3 in Sydney. Meanwhile, Kostya has long been happy with his new girlfriend: the boxer's chosen one is the spectacular brunette Tatyana AVERINA.
The athlete and his young girlfriend no longer hide their passion: the girl accompanies the athlete on set and parties, the couple travels around the world together and gladly shares joint pictures on social networks. In the photo - Tatiana in the arms of Kostya in different parts of the planet: they are in Greece, then in Spain, then in Portugal. This summer, the couple also managed to visit the Crimea, where Tatyana has a house. The new friend has already met Kostya's parents and, judging by the pictures, they managed to make friends.
He made his own choice. Nobody pushed him. Children have known for a long time that dad will no longer live with mom, - said Valentina Sergeevna in an interview. "Komsomolskaya Pravda" - Kostya rarely comes to them now - three or four times a year. Tomorrow he will fly from Moscow to Australia. I think to see my mother. But, I hope, it will come to the children too. By the way, Kostin's parents are also unhappy that their son has left his family.

What is the reason for the cooling of a sports star to her daughter, Tszyu's mother-in-law does not know. But he suspects that the athlete was simply drawn to the young:
Love has passed, apparently. Probably tired of the former wife. So I fell in love with a young woman. This girl is younger than Natasha.

Who told you?"

I thought for a long time what and how to tell about our life with Kostya. I'm afraid to say too much, but keeping quiet is also wrong. Words have great strength... I prepared and, I hope, managed to find the most needed ones ...
It all began so long ago ... I was an ordinary girl from a provincial town. After leaving school, she got a job in a hairdresser - this allowed her to earn an extra penny. My parents are simple people: my mother is a doctor, my father is a driver. There was enough money for food, but at the age of seventeen I also want to look beautiful! I worked hard from morning to evening. And the girlfriends had fun, from time to time they went to a popular bar, where Kostya Tszyu and his friends also visited. At that time, he was already a prominent figure in our Serov, drove an expensive car, dressed fashionably, his boxing success was regularly written in the local newspaper.
In the bar, Kostya always paid for the whole company. Among the boys who hung out there, he was the most enviable. I remember one girl said: "Kostya invited me on a date!" We immediately began to prepare her for the meeting - we made her beautiful, styled her hair, helped choose clothes. But all our efforts were unsuccessful, Kostya never met her again. And after a while he began to look after me ...
I am with my beloved children
Today I want to tell Kostya
thanks for bringing up
me strong
We have a great relationship ...
but all the time Kostya had boxing
First of all, I cared that my husband
there was low fat yogurt for breakfast ...
I thought: let's say goodbye
with boxing and will start
happy life...
Kostya was invited to the Russian project " ice Age".
Paired with Maria Petrova.
"I would never take my father away from three guys ..."
Kostya with Tatiana Averina
"That's it, Kostya, that's enough, I'm letting you go"
My children have grown up. I have the right to think about myself ...
On that day, my friends called me to a bar. I went, but I could not have fun like the others, I was too tired. She sat and looked around with a detached look. Probably, that's why Kostya drew attention to me - not like everyone else. When the party was over, he said goodbye: "If you want to be with me, you have to call." I called. At first there was nothing like that between us, we were just friends. I am seventeen, he is a little older, we both do not drink, do not smoke, but we love sports. So we went to the skating rink, then to the pool, then to ski.
To tell the truth, I was not so fond of sports, but together with Kostya it was interesting for me to run, and jump, and swim ... And at home, meanwhile, a scandal was brewing. Mom has already been informed: Natasha is meeting with Tszyu. God, how she cried: "Daughter, he will play with you and leave!"
And I did not bet on him, I understood with a girlish mind: Tszyu has such Natashek - half Serov. Just whistle, they will immediately run. Choose - I don't want to. No, I didn't cling to Kostya, communicated with him without making any plans. We didn't meet too often - he was all the time at the training camp, then at the competitions. I wrote letters to him, I ran to the telegraph office to make long-distance calls - there were no mobile or e-mail at that time.
And we didn't have crazy feelings for each other. The first signs of vague heart anxiety made themselves felt when I read in the newspaper that Tszyu had won the world championship in Sydney and was leaving for Australia under a contract. How is he leaving ?! I had not yet had time to really figure out why anxiety suddenly arose in my soul, and then Kostya said:
- Natasha, you will come with me.
So immediately and categorically. As if everything was already decided. Although neither we nor those around me had a clear understanding that I was his girlfriend.
- Oh, I don't know ... How ?! Where?! Which Australia?
But the first confusion quickly passed and I answered “yes”. And what girl at that time would have refused to fly to the other side of the world if beckoned? We came to my mom. I can't really explain anything, I myself don't know where I'm flying, why, and most importantly - with whom. What kind of man is this Kostya, what to expect from him?
I only knew for sure that he was a guy with a generous and open soul. And so it remained. Endlessly she said to him: "Kostya, change a little, it's time to grow up, become more zealous." Useless! If a casual acquaintance asks for a loan of ten thousand, he will first give, and then think. There was no case that he refused at least something to anyone, he regretted money. It's a shame that there are still unscrupulous people who use this.
A separate story is how he returned from overseas trips. I remember that I first came to his house and, together with Kostya's parents, his sister and a group of boxing friends, waited for the champion to get by taxi from Sverdlovsk airport to Serov. And so he entered. With a huge suitcase, hung with packages and boxes, like Santa Claus. They all sat down on the sofa, their mouths opened and waited for Kostya to unpack his little things and start giving out gifts. Never forgot anyone!
I won't say for sure whether on that visit or on another he brought the first imported perfume in my life. What a scent it was! Remember, this is the late eighties. Then in our area, no one had such perfumes. I perfumed myself, came to work, the girls gasped: it smells abroad!
He brought boots, underwear - for me and my sister. When it came to leaving for Australia, I told my mother that I had never met a person kinder than Kostya. She also said that I like him. I didn't lie, there was no love at first sight between us. And the real feeling came already in Australia, it was hardened in the fight against the serious difficulties that we had to face on the Green Continent. Apparently, even then, in Serov, we were drawn to each other for a reason. Fate gave a sign that together we can stand. Kostya was the first to feel it and called me with him.
But first there were tears. A sea of \u200b\u200btears! Once in Australia, in an uncomfortable industrial area, where the first house we rented was located, I cried bitterly and said that I wanted to see my mother. “Natasha, it's hard for me here myself,” he replied. - If you want - go, but keep in mind that the ticket will be one way. How was it said? With what intonation? I remember the words, but I don’t remember the emotions, which means I didn’t hurt, Kostya didn’t speak out of malice. Most likely, he wanted to pour over words like a cold shower, to bring him to his senses.
Dad and mom were not there to consult. I judged myself and decided that I could not leave my husband, no matter how difficult it was. Or do you think Kostya Tszyu never cried? He shed many tears, only nobody saw them except me. I realized that there is nothing shameful or humiliating in tears. It is important not to be alone in difficult times. There should be someone who can support and understand. We walked forward together, hugging or holding hands. Yes, they cried, but did not feel sorry for each other. Otherwise, you can break.
In Australia, Kostya constantly jogged, kept fit. I was bored at home alone and decided to run with him for the company. And then one day we changed the route and ... got lost. It started to rain. I was tired, wet and burst into tears:
- I can't anymore! Where is our home?
- Now I'll leave you on the street alone, and I'll run away! - Kostya shouted and began to run around me, shouting angrily and kicking from behind with his feet, it hurts to keep up. Yes, such a despot. But in the end we found our home and ran there together!
Today I want to say thank you to Konstantin for raising me to be a strong woman. People often think that everything, there is no more urine, and the internal reserve, it turns out, is not yet exhausted. Sometimes it is difficult to force yourself to do something. But if Kostya Tszyu is behind you, he will make you believe in yourself, do not hesitate. It was scary to think that you could say no to him. Better to do what he demands.
You can't be weak with Kostya. My tears would only irritate him, preventing him from making his way in life. And when I realized that there was no way out, that no one would regret and comfort me, I began to struggle with myself - I went to study, took care of my home. I thought: I will do everything to make Kostya feel good with me. This decision has matured somehow by itself. So at twenty, I chose my own path and model of behavior.
I can tell exactly when love came to me. Having lived with Kostya, I understood what he was doing, saw his victories, realized at what cost they come. He once said: "Natasha, I am a professional boxer, so get used to the fact that your husband comes home with big bruises." He seemed to be joking, but his eyes were serious, serious. Despite my youth, I sensed with my female instinct that he needed my help. And it was expressed not in beautiful words, oohs and sighs, but in the struggle for survival, work for the common good. Boxing has become our life. At first I did not understand this sport: who beats whom, where and why. Then I went to a couple of fights and began to slowly figure out what's what. Kostya won one victory after another. His fees were growing.
We could think of our own home and children. The first was Timofey, four years later Nikita, four years later - Nastya. With the birth of Timosha, the family was replenished with relatives who arrived: Kostin's parents moved to us in Australia. For nine years we lived side by side with his mother in the same kitchen. There was no way out, both endured ... But endured and maintained a good relationship. For such courage, a reward must be given!
My husband moved his whole family to Australia, and I never dared to ask: "Bone, I also want my mom to live with me." My parents and brother came to us many times, but Kostya never invited them to stay. How could I ask if my husband's mother and father, sister with family, aunt came to live on depending on my husband? He paid for everyone, helped everyone, and eventually built his parents and sister around the house. There are many relatives, and only Kostya earned money. And he always owed something to everyone. I am not judging, because I understand him very well.
All life revolved around Kostya, there was no time to sort things out. Order and discipline reigned in the house. If he said "Sleep", then everyone goes to the side, whether we want it or not. My husband and I practically did not fight, we had an excellent relationship, but we were not a family in the generally accepted sense of the word. All the time he took boxing from Kostya. His day consisted only of training, food and sleep. There was no room for the children. He never did anything around the house, and I didn't count on that, I knew that his only duty was to be an athlete. Kostya is used to the fact that in everyday life everything is done for him. I woke up in the morning - breakfast was ready on the table Came home from work - hot supper, please. I don't know, maybe now, living in Moscow, he has changed.
To be honest, I was very afraid of him. And I'm not the only one, everyone felt shy: children, parents, masseurs, sparring partners. He's a king, and a formidable one. How did he manage to instill awe in those around him? For the first time, I was really scared when I watched Tszyu train with full dedication. When you see what your husband is capable of turning a strong, trained opponent into, you involuntarily mingle with respect. And although Kostya never did anything bad to me, he did not even raise his hand in the heat of the moment, in a disputable situation I always preferred to remain silent and do as he wants.
What to talk about if I, a mother of three children, living with Kostya, thought about them second of all, and first of all about my husband having low-fat yogurt on the table for breakfast. Once it happened that he, that damned yogurt, was not on the table.
“Sorry, Kostya,” I justified myself, “I didn't have time. I was brought in with the children, first one thing, then another ... In a word, I could not hit the road to the store, but today I will definitely buy yogurt. "
He did not accept my excuses. Kostya was adamant about discipline. I ended up in my car at six in the morning and went to the convenience store for his yogurt. Probably, I spoiled Kostya myself, but I never argued, did not defend my point of view. I was afraid that word for word - and something unnecessary, superfluous will mature in the relationship. It was easier to subdue pride and agree: do you want yogurt? Okay, you have some yogurt.
As usually happens in normal families where he grows small child? The daily routine of adults is subject to his regime. Relatives try not to make noise once again: "Quiet, the baby is sleeping!" Everything happened with us exactly the opposite. If Kostya was resting, I would take three children out into the street, repeating: "Shhh, daddy is sleeping." We had a three-story spacious house, Kostya slept upstairs, in principle, we could sit quietly downstairs with them, without disturbing anyone, but I was afraid. What if one of the younger ones becomes capricious and Kostya says:
"Why are your children crying ?!" He said, “Yours,” as if he had nothing to do with them ... We never had a nanny. I even do not know why. Household helpers came, but I didn't want to give the guys into the wrong hands. My grandmother and grandfather helped, for which many thanks to them.
While Kostya was in big sports, I considered his behavior to be normal. We were a team that worked for results, discipline and Spartan living conditions for everyone seemed to be the main guarantee of success.
I could let off some steam during sparring when my husband and I boxed together. "Bone, - said to him, - how I want to hit you!"
I really really wanted to hit. Better in the face. And with all the dope! But as soon as I began to approach Kostya, I felt the T-shirt sticking to my body from enveloping fear: I was afraid of getting hit back, although he never attacked me, only defended himself. Several times he managed to punch from the heart, it was an incomparable pleasure! Although my blows to Kostya are like mosquito bites. Not at all like the hook of the American Vince Phillips.
That fight in Atlantic City in May 1997, which Kostya lost by TKO, yielding the world pro light welterweight title, was my last - since then I have given up the spectator role. When a boxer begins to give in to an opponent, he will miss many terrible, crushing blows. It is unbearable to see how the man you love is deliberately finished off, inflicting monstrous blows on the head, face, body ... One of Phillips's most powerful jabs led to the fact that Kostya suffered a retinal detachment. But it turned out later, during the post-match medical examination. And then, looking at his face swollen from bruises with a split eyebrow, I wanted to go into the ring and shout: “That's it! Kostya, everyone! Stop, no more! "
It is unlikely that he would have understood me: having missed so many blows, Kostya was in a state of prostration. When the fight was interrupted in the tenth round and Phillips was declared victorious, I jumped into the ring to kiss my husband, to support him. With the last bit of strength she was trying not to cry. The coach felt it and looked at me menacingly: “Natasha, we are in America! No tears! " I had to turn to the cameras with a smile on my face, as if everything was okay with us and nothing terrible had happened. I smiled, but what did it cost me!
“I can't see this anymore,” she said first to herself, and then repeated to Kostya. After that loss, it was very difficult for her husband. Great Tszyu plunged into a deep depression. Before the fight with Phillips, he had nineteen fights in the professional ring and never lost. He believed in his own invincibility, but here it is ... Kostya sat at home and was silent, not reacting in any way to the outside world, as if it had ceased to exist. We did not touch him, we waited for his release. But they were there and tried as best they could to show that he was not alone. However, the situation was not conducive to an early recovery. Our partners and sponsors turned away from us in an instant, the press lost interest in us, yesterday's ardent fans and fans cooled off.
At the same time, there were courts with Bill Mordi, a promoter whom Kostya suspected of deception and treachery. As a result of the litigation, we lost a lot of money, millions of dollars, which, of course, also did not add a good mood. And then it turned out that the person was wronged in vain. All the problems arose because of Kostya's poor English. But in any case, we had to pay the penalty for Mordi. Reputation in the West is expensive ...
Before important fights, the entire Tszyu team sat down at the table - Kostya's parents, coach, managers and me. It was a kind of psychological attack, we were getting ready for the upcoming fight, telling ourselves that not only Tszyu, but all of us would have a tough fight. What was it for? To create a certain background: positive energy had to emanate from everyone, which would help Kostya win. After the battle lost to Phillips, we gathered in the same way as our family clan and made a detailed plan for the near and long term. Life has shown that everything needs to be changed: diets, massages, sparring partners, rhythm and training methodology. I volunteered to control so that everything planned was rigorously implemented into reality. And Kostya again became the best, regained the title of world champion, collected three championship belts in different versions. This continued until 2005, when the hitherto invincible Briton Ricky Hatton, nicknamed the Hired Assassin, crossed the road to Kostya ...
The fight took place in England, before the last twelfth round, the husband's seconds asked the referee to stop the fight and admitted defeat. As in the case of Phillips, Kostya lost outright to Ricky. It was a painful blow to pride: the king was brought to his knees for the second time. And Kostya decided to end his professional career. Thank God, I thought. We will say goodbye to boxing, tie a knot of memories with a beautiful ribbon, and it will begin new life... Calm, happy. We have everything for this - children, friends, a house, cars, money ... Probably, I was the only one in the team who was happy that my husband had lost. Johnny Lewis, Kostya's coach, threw the towel into the ring just in time. Sports fans know for sure: this means refusing to continue the fight and automatic surrender. Thanks to Johnny Kostya remained a healthy person. Who knows what would have happened if he had missed another hit ...
But Kostya was very worried that he could no longer box. Promoters began to come out to him, promising big money in order to lure him into the ring again. “You can't earn all the money! - I persuaded my husband. - We don't need millions more. Enough of those that are. Thirty-five years is the time to start a normal life. I assure you, we can exist well without boxing. " Frankly, I did everything to prevent my husband from entering the ring again ...
We lived together for twenty years, and all these years Kostya really felt like a king. He just says: "I am the king" - without any hint of a joke. All his whims and desires were fulfilled on demand. And then life changed, Tszyu left the big sport, and it was necessary to learn to notice other people around him - his wife, children, business partners. Today he tells me with resentment: they say, boxing is over and I was almost in fifth place for you. It's true, but I warned him that it would be like this: “Kostya, the time will come, the battles will remain in the past and you, like it or not, will have to become a normal person. You must learn to be a father, a husband. "
For so many years I could not carry everything on myself: look after the children, take care of myself in order to correspond to my husband's star status, control the general business, and, of course, regularly run for yogurt. And where without it, without fat-free? I tried to rebuild Kostya's psychology, to explain to him that now, when the sovereign has free time, he can sometimes get up from the armchair and take a walk to the store. At least as a light boardwalk. She suggested that Kostya take off the crown from his head, forget about titles and learn to live like an ordinary person.
Since this all started. The king did not want to change and demanded the same respect and admiration from those around him. He got bored, darkened and started talking about Russia. I did my best to keep him in Australia. Found professionals, we created new company Undisputed Tszyu, which trained trainers. Kostya became her face and brand. But now it was not he who dictated the conditions to the team, but we told him when and where to come today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Business is built differently from sports. We created a website, promoted the product on the market. I, a woman, single-handedly went to Pakistan to a factory that sewed gloves under the Mike Tyson brand to agree on the release of products under the equally resounding name of Kostya Tszyu. The bodyguard who met me at the airport was quite surprised that I alone dared to take such a trip. I brought a ready-made sample from Pakistan, but this also did not affect Kostya. “All the same, I will do only the way I want,” he said.
People invested their minds, money and connections in the promotion and sale of goods under the Kostya Tszyu brand. But my husband could not or did not want to follow the team, he was used to being a leader. Alone. The center of the universe ... The professionals I gathered lost faith in the success of the business. They understood: Kostya will always have his own opinion, which no one can change, even if it goes against the general interests. It hurts and hurts to remember, but the company had to be closed. Among other things, it seems to me that Kostya was not delighted to see my success in business. While he was boxing, I was constantly studying, and I could not apply the knowledge I gained in practice due to the fact that I had to help my husband. And the children were young.
And then in Australia began "Dancing with the Stars", Kostya got involved in the competition, a little distracted from gloomy thoughts, reached the final of the competition. He was again asked for interviews, published in newspapers and magazines. But the TV show ended and he yearned. He was drawn to Russia again. Living here, we, of course, missed the language and Russian culture. And Kostya went home. When he was boxing, there was no time to communicate with friends, but now connections were restored, they began to invite him - some for fishing, some for hunting or in the bathhouse. He was also paid for travel, why is it bad?
“If your name is, fly,” said Kostya. Was she jealous? No. My husband has admitted more than once: I am monogamous, Natasha has nothing to worry about. And somehow, returning from another hunt, he began to show photographs. I look: almost every girl next to him.
- Who is it? - I ask.
- A good friend, my new PR agent. She will now go with me to the shooting.
Kostya then starred in an action movie with Alexander Abdulov, the film did not appear on the screens due to the death of the actor.
- Kostik, is this normal?
- Everything is fine, Natasha. You know, you are supposed to go to the shooting with assistants. And the girl will help - she will bring one thing, another ...
- Do you want me to wave to Russia for the company, huh? And we'll spend time together.
- Why strain, love, when you have children?
- Well ... I'm glad there will be someone to look after you.
For fifteen years I have had no reason to doubt my husband's honesty. I completely trusted him. But in vain ... Very soon it became obvious that Kostya had someone in Moscow. In order to understand this, you do not need to dig in someone else's phone or read correspondence. When you have lived with a man for many years, it’s easy to guess about this. I always paid the bills and receipts. Of course, it immediately struck me that fifty text messages were sent from Kostya's phone in just one day. You have to sit all day and poke your finger on the phone! She said indignantly:
- And after that you want me to believe that you have absolutely no free time? I take the kids to school, pick them up after workouts, stand by the stove, cook food for the whole family, don't forget to buy you fresh yogurt, and you sit within four walls and send text messages all day long?
- I correspond with a PR agent who organizes my affairs in Russia.
Gradually, the puzzles developed into an obvious picture of Kostya's betrayal. The husband stopped unlocking. I recognized the name of this woman - Tatyana ... Kostya later claimed in an interview that I was so cunning: I wrote messages to his chosen one, provoked a scandal. I even liked that he called me sly. For a woman, I think this is a plus. I didn't write anything bad to Tatyana, I just tried to explain that Kostya has not only a wife, but also children. I would never have taken upon myself such a responsibility - to take my father away from three children. At that time, our youngest - Nastya - was only five years old. I warned Tatiana: the head of forty-year-old men does not understand well, they themselves sometimes do not understand what they are doing. But you're a woman, come to your senses! How long can a double life last? Make it clear already: either you are together or not.
And this is what she replied to me: "In my opinion, it's not bad at all that Kostya has both a wife and a beloved woman." I refused to understand such a "high" relationship. I asked my husband:
- Bone, what rules do you live by? I left Russia a long time ago and, probably, I don’t know something.
- Natasha, calm down, now many people live like this.
I nevertheless turned to psychologists for help. About five specialists twisted this situation in different ways, trying to explain to Tszyu: something needs to be solved. But nothing helped. He sat, withdrawing into himself, and was silent, silent, silent ...
For three years she lived, without saying a word about what was going on with us, to any of my relatives and friends. Go to your friends and cry? What for? Everyone has their own problems. Someone may sympathize, while the other will gloat behind their back, rub their hands with pleasure. In addition, our friends could not even imagine that Kostya had another one. Moreover, when my friends were perplexed why he endlessly dangles to Moscow, I defended my husband: in Russia, they say, it's interesting. But then everything opened up, and many, especially men, told me: “Natasha, your Kostya was always an example for us, but today you are our friend. If you need something, do not even hesitate, we will help. Please contact. " For example, when I recently bought a house for myself and my children, one of Kostya's friends gave me a recommendation at the bank as a special woman - a client that needs to be treated with particular care.
“Thanks, Tony,” I said.
- Natasha, but it's true.
I treat people with sympathy, I don't care whether a person is rich or poor. And for some reason Kostya put himself above others, stopped noticing those who had helped him before. Many in Australia took offense at him. When he is here, he is still approached with requests for an autograph, he is still popular. And I think he has a chance to regain the respect of those who are disappointed in him. To do this, it is enough to remember what he was, where he started.
The situation was aggravated when Kostya was invited to the Russian project "Ice Age". I took the children from the Australian school and moved to Moscow despite my husband's unwillingness to see us there. My demarche was in vain: my children and I sat at home, and Kostya was busy with the show and his own business. Tszyu says now that I am such a great dock in gadgets, allegedly tracking him down, spying on him. This is not true! Everything happened by itself. He handed me the phone receiver so that I could talk to someone from mutual acquaintances, and at that moment a love message came. I could not help but see the text on the display screen: “Kostya, my God! I am with you here, in Russia, with our children, and you continue to receive SMS from your Tatiana ?! " The presence of the children did not stop him. Kostya stubbornly continued to do what he considered necessary. Tim, Nikita and Nastya liked Moscow, and if my father wanted to leave us, he would have easily saved the family.
We decided to celebrate the new year 2008 at home. I still had a glimmer of hope: before leaving for Australia, Kostya and I went to look at a Moscow apartment, in which it would be convenient to live with the whole family. But no, she was not needed. We invited friends, I happily smiled at the guests, pretended that everything was fine with us, although the cats were scratching their hearts. Having celebrated the holidays with us, Kostya flew to Phuket at the invitation of friends from Russia. Returning from Thailand, announced:
- I'm leaving for Moscow.
- And what about us? I must first arrange a transfer with the schools.
- No, I will fly without you.
Probably, from the very beginning I made a mistake, having taken everything upon myself - children, home, business. Began to ask:
- Kostya, postpone the trip, I need your help.
- Why do you need to help, and you can handle it yourself, - he answered and drove off.
“My hands act faster than my brain thinks,” Kostya likes to say. Other parts of the body, apparently, too ... Who could I tell about my grief? I have no one in Australia except Kostya's parents. I opened up to them, and they supported me as best they could. They even tried to talk to Kostya, but no one ordered him. King! Mr. Vaughn, director of the Christian school where Timofey studied, advised me: “For boys of Tim's age, communication with their father is very important, they are looking for a role model - a person they want to be like. Let him skip class, but stay with dad. "
But Mr. Vaughn's good intentions were not destined to come true. I stayed with the children in Australia, identified them in schools, football and gymnastics, and myself, in order not to go crazy, began to master the profession of a business manager. Kostya says that I was constantly studying, but I never learned anything. This is not so: I have completed all my endeavors and received the necessary certificates.
In January, Kostya left us, and on March 8 I decided to give him a present - I flew to Moscow. Shortly before leaving, I had a conversation with my eldest son. I value very close, trusting relationships with children, we share a lot. I try to be alone with one child, then with another and have a heart-to-heart talk. And once we had dinner together with Timosha - the only child to whom Kostya told about Tatyana, they even met when Tim flew to his father for a short time. And suddenly the seventeen-year-old son says:
- Mom, I don't want you to write and call dad.
- Why, Timochka?
- You are completely different people.
- You think so?
- Mom, you will never live with dad. He has a woman in Russia, I know. Why are you humiliated? Why are you going to him? File for divorce.
These words were a thorn in my soul when I flew to Moscow. But she still could not refuse the last attempt to make Kostya change her mind. I phoned his managers, asked not to warn my husband about the surprise and to meet him at the airport. Kostya was at the restaurant at that time.
- Is he alone?- asked the driver.
- Yes.
I went into the hall and found a table where my husband was sitting.
- Wow, Natasha! What are you doing here?!
- I flew to you, darling!
- Natasha, were you not afraid that I would not be alone?
Of course I was afraid, and still threw myself into fire and water, just to save the family. But it was all in vain. Several days passed, and the question arose: why am I here? Kostya was constantly busy with his own affairs, we hardly saw each other.
- Natasha, - he suggested, - go to Serov, visit your mother.
- True, we must go.
I visited native city, talked to my family, and then again looked in Moscow for a day. Kostya greeted me with cold indifference, as if nothing connected us, as if there had never been our love. I will not say that he hated me, no. Demonstratively did not want to communicate, even to see him nearby. And then I told myself that there was no point in trying to reach out to the old Kostik, he simply no longer exists. We must get a divorce. The husband often said: "Before you get up, you need to fall." I got the hardest knockout of my life. I didn't expect this blow. I was afraid of many things in my life, but not betrayal, not betrayal ...
Saying the word "divorce" is one thing, but getting used to the idea is completely different. I cried day after day and reread my lawyer's advice: "Tomorrow will be better than today." I kept repeating to myself: "You need to hold out, endure, go this way." Sometimes she woke up at night, took the phone and dialed Kostya. Then she hung up: no, I won't, that's enough humiliation.
I loved my husband very much and when I felt that I was losing, I tried to keep him by any means - I asked, cried, and then got up from my knees and said: "That's enough, Kostya, I'm letting you go." It became easier for me, as if I had received a blessing from above. Not right away, but I realized: life does not end, there is still so much new, interesting, important in it. Looking back at our common history, I am convinced once again that we did not meet in vain. The Tszyu family was a great team. The goals that we set for ourselves have been achieved. Kostya won all the championship titles, wonderful children were born, we built the house we dreamed of.
The divorce was very difficult, a sea of \u200b\u200btears was cried out, but I left the courtroom with a smile. Like the day Kostya fought Phillips. So boxing taught me a thing or two. I have become strong and believe in myself. If I promised, I will definitely fulfill my plans, no matter what obstacles stand in the way.
Today it seems to me that I emerged victorious from this situation. Kostya prevailed in the ring, and I won in life, because justice is on my side. Tszyu is not used to losing and is angry. This can be seen in his last interviews, in which he claims that our divorce is solely my fault. But his words do not touch me any more, I "got sick" of Kostya. I still respect him as an outstanding athlete and father of my children, but as a man Tszyu no longer exists for me: I do not forgive betrayal.
I don't know if Kostya loves Tatiana or just wants to match her status as a star, because they simply have to be accompanied by a young beautiful girl... I would really like it to be love, may everything be fine with Kostya. He deserved a decent, secure life, loyal friends and girlfriends. Tszyu left the sport as a healthy person, but they beat him on the head a lot and hard. How will this manifest itself with age? I really hope his new girlfriend does not have to find out what such injuries lead to. And if something happened, I believe - she will not let you down. God grant that he did right choice... I even feel sorry for Tatiana, with whom Kostya does not want to formalize the relationship.
I think this is his royal whim. He again thinks only of himself, forgetting that it is important for any woman to trust her only and beloved. No matter what they say, a woman feels calmer with a stamp in her passport. Moreover, they are thinking about a child.
Children are not dogs, they need a father. And not on the phone, Skype, or TV. For twenty years, he only fed our kids a couple of times on his own, and even then he did it in front of the television camera. And if I had to take one of them in my arms, I just waited for me to come up and take the child. He spent more time with the boa constrictor. I did not like this cold, slippery creature. And Kostya liked his strength, the play of muscles under the patchy skin. After Kostya's departure, we gave the boa constrictor to friends. When the story with Tatiana began, I did not have the strength to take care of this two-meter reptile either ...
Now, some time after our divorce, I suddenly felt incredible relief. It turns out it's so nice to be free! You don't need to adjust, hold back your emotions, run to the store at six in the morning ... I don't ask Kostya to pay alimony, we don't need it. Everything that he had in Australia is left to us. If possible, I will try to multiply what we have received. I know how to control finances, they have always been in my hands. I am a much more zealous hostess than Kostya, to whom only give free rein - he will squander everything.
Tszyu says in an interview that his ex-wife drives around in a Bentley. The car is idle in the garage, if it wants, let it take it. And a Porsche to boot. I see no point in fancy cars, bags. It's he who is crazy about brands, not me. Recently my children and I bought new house... There will be enough space for everyone, even though it cannot be compared with the previous one. But I don’t want to live in big houses anymore, I’m tired ... Life becomes much easier if you don’t dwell on the external, showy. I have other priorities. The main goal is to give children a higher education.
Nastya is still a schoolgirl, she is eleven. Timofey entered the university, Nikita is finishing the eleventh grade. He has already become the Australian Junior Champion four times. But to be honest, I don't want my child to be seriously involved in boxing. I do not wish my children a sports career: only a few make their way to the very top, but many lose themselves. As a mother, I will not insist that he choose a different future, because dad and grandfather love boxing. But for my part, I force my son to study, and when he grows up, he decides what he needs.
Perhaps, over time, Kostya will want to pull up the eldest, Timofey, to his place in Moscow. He should also talk to the younger ones - Nikita and Nastya, introduce them to Tatyana. I understand that money and fame are on his side. But I want our children to use dad's merits to a minimum and to build their own lives. There are pros and cons in Moscow. Here in Australia there is no such distinction between rich and poor. People do not bother what car you drive, what kind of phones, bags, shoes you have. And Moscow is a show-off city. Therefore, I hope that Timofey will get there when he is able to make meaningful adult decisions.
My children are almost grown up, I have the right to think about myself. I know a lot about boxing, but I don't even want to think about it. The second meaning of this word is box, container. So I got out of boxing. Previously, the walls of the house were completely hung with Kostin's posters and gloves, but now there are beautiful pictures hanging there, and I like that. Recent times I am engaged in real estate. People from Russia came to us in Australia who wanted to buy housing here. I started developing new areas of cooperation with Russians. I also work with the Chinese - that's who massively undertook to attack the Green Continent. If a Chinese invests four million dollars in the country, after a few years, he automatically receives citizenship. Many people in Hong Kong have money, but there are no living conditions, so the Chinese are buying land and houses in Australia with might and main, bringing their families here, arranging their children in local schools. It has everything you need: hospitals, parks, kindergartens ... Live and rejoice! A home worth twelve million dollars was recently put up for sale. The Australians do not have that kind of money, I am almost sure that immigrants from the Middle Kingdom will acquire it. They also bought our house with Kostya ...
Sadly, apparently, soon our country will be packed full of Chinese. They are hard workers, used to working hard, constantly on the move, like ants. And Australians are spoiled for easy, easy life. The weather is always good, the ocean is close by, social benefits are guaranteed. Why luxury and abundance when you can already have a good time at a bar with a pint of beer? A high standard of living is maintained only by foreigners - Chinese, Greeks, Lebanese.
Despite the fact that I have a job in the field of real estate in Australia, I still plan to move to Dubai in the next few years. Once in this city, I was surprised to find that I can speak my native Russian fluently. Well, in English, of course. Oddly enough, in arab Dubai a lot of our compatriots. From there it is much closer to fly to mom. I found good people there with whom I can build a business: my experience as a realtor is in demand in these places. I think to arrange Nastya in international school and live in the Emirates until my daughter finishes her studies, and then I return to Sydney. During this time, I hope to finally recover from the divorce. The change of scenery, I'm sure, will help me.
I look at the photographs of Kostya and Tatiana ... They are so happy, smiling. I do not have any personal life, while I can’t even think to get along with someone. But I hope: time will pass, the wounds will heal and a loved one will appear nearby. I believe in it.
I again look at Kostya as a friend. Today we have a new life, each with its own destiny. But there are also many things in common - children, memories. But soon there will be grandchildren. It seems to me, in spite of everything, we will be able to maintain good relations. Even if Kostya told about me in an interview not very flattering, I suppose it was a momentary impulse, but in our souls we have no anger at each other. Maybe he even still loves me in his own way. But if once we literally grew into each other, now we have grown out of this relationship.
I was in Kostya's life in his best years, and today we are completely strangers. I can't imagine living with him in the same house or sleeping in a shared bed. But he and I have children, and if there is an opportunity to drink coffee or have dinner together, I will be happy to meet with ex-husband, I'll talk. I think someday it will definitely happen ...
Information taken from -
Natalia today is unable to communicate either with her ex-husband or with his parents, although they, Valentina and Boris Tszyu, also live in Sydney. He does not forbid children to see them, but she herself cut off all contacts. “She is offended by them for not being able to instruct her son on the right way, to explain to him that you cannot leave your family, - says Natalia's mother, Valentina Anikina. - Nobody could contradict him. Why did it happen? I have to ask Kostya. It's not my daughter's fault. She raised the children, looked after the house. And he found himself 10 years younger ... "
The divorce of the famous boxer took place in December 2013, he himself did not come to Sydney for the court session. For several years, Konstantin hid from his wife that he was in love with another. And then I made a choice. "StarHit" learned how the life of the family develops after Kostya's departure.
Money is melting before our eyes
68-year-old Valentina Anikina lives in the city of Serov, Sverdlovsk region, together with the family of her eldest granddaughter - the daughter of her brother Natalia Tszyu. And although my heart is bleeding - so worries about Natasha, she is afraid to fly to Australia. Once I went with my husband Leonid for a long time, he died last summer. She misses her grandchildren living in Sydney. I saw them when I was little. But calling her daughter, he often asks about them. He knows that the eldest, 19-year-old Timofey, went with friends on a trip to Thailand and China in January, he made money on everything - he is a seller in a store of freshly squeezed juices. Average, 16-year-old Nikita, is fond of boxing like a dad. And the youngest, 12-year-old Nastya, plays the piano. Now, after the divorce, Natalia shares her problems and concerns with her mother.
“Kostya Natasha doesn't help her with money,” Valentina Sergeevna tells StarHit. - In Australia they are not forced to pay child support, only at will. But he left her his business selling T-shirts and boxing gloves and real estate: two villas and the house in which they lived ... ”In the same December, immediately after the divorce, Natalya sold the house in which, as it seemed to her, they lived more than 10 years. Everything about him reminded of her husband. In addition, it became clear that further she simply would not be able to handle the maintenance of this cottage. “You need to invest money in it - to take care of the lawns, trees,” continues Natalia's mother. - So she moved with her children to a rented three-room apartment, paying rent for $ 800 a week. And in the future he is going to buy a living space. "
From the sale of the house, they managed to bail out a solid amount - $ 2.9 million. Part of this money goes to the maintenance of the villas, the family plans to rent them, but there are no tenants yet. As Valentina Sergeevna says, money melts like snow on a summer day, Natasha tries to save money. I transferred Nikita from a paid school to a regular one, only left Nastya there. “It's good that Nikita is in the last grade, and Tim is already in college,” says the grandmother.
Yoga against stress
Kostya Tszyu periodically calls the children, asks how they are doing. The last time he was in Sydney was last November at Timothy's birthday party. And earlier, in the summer, the eldest son visited his dad in Moscow for a few days, but he did not want to stay in the apartment where he lived with his new lover - he spent the night in a hotel.
Natalia has no plans to return to Russia. For 20 years, Australia has become her home country, and the children have become accustomed to the local way of life. All three of them morally support mom and feel sorry for her. In their free time, they ride a motor ship together, go to aqua and amusement parks.
Now 41-year-old Natalia is looking for a job. She has two degrees - an accountant and a sales manager. She would like to get a job on the profile. As her mother tells "StarHit", Natalya goes to the local health center, does yoga. She carefully monitors the figure, although, judging by the photographs, she has no extra pounds. “At least somehow distracted, relieves stress! The story with this Tanya began with Kostya a long time ago, about six years ago. Of course, Natasha after some time noticed strange text messages and calls. I was very worried, - Valentina Sergeevna laments. - Until she has a man, children are in the first place, they need to be put on their feet, the issue must be resolved with work, and then you can dream about your personal life ... "
