Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva: wedding, latest news from personal life. Wedding of Lopyreva and Baskov: truth or hoax? Photo and Video Commentary from Nikolai Baskov
The wedding of Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva, which, according to Ramzan Kadyrov, will take place on October 5 in Grozny, has become one of the most discussed events of the fall. Fans of the famous singer were surprised that he broke up with his fiancée Sophie Kalcheva and proposed to the blond model. Some even suspected that the celebrity wedding was a successful PR stunt.
Baskov and Lopyreva broke their long silence and for the first time gave a frank interview dedicated to their relationship. The stars appeared in the studio of the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live" to tell your story to the public.
“I'm so glad that my friends and family have a good sense of humor! Turn on the country's highest-rated show today on the Russia 1 channel. I am sure you will have great fun and will finally find out whether the wedding will take place on October 5th. And much more - first-hand. The first and last time,” Lopyreva intrigued on Instagram.
Joseph Prigozhin admitted that he did not expect the engagement of Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva. The stars surprised the producer and his wife Valeria. Many even thought at first that Victoria and Nikolai were joking. “We didn’t understand anything at all! This is the number,” Valeria recalls her reaction. The couple are planning to go to the wedding of Baskov and Lopyreva. “Vika reminds me of a runaway bride. She ran away from everyone,” noted Marina Yudashkina, in turn.
Otar Kushanashvili admitted that he will not go to the wedding. The host fears that the wedding ceremony will be canceled at the last moment. Joseph Prigogine objected to the TV journalist. According to the producer, Baskov has long sympathized with Lopyreva. The artist spoke about this to a friend in confidence.
Nikolai Baskov appeared to the applause of the audience. When the singer entered the studio, everyone stood up. Valeria noticed that the artist looks amazing. It turned out that there would be two weddings - in Grozny and Moscow. When asked about the marriage contract, Nikolai said that he did not feel sorry for anything for a girl like Lopyreva.
“The ring is different. Not five carats, but seven. When Vika and I talked, she said: “You're lucky. The dress is hanging at home. I ordered it when I married Smolov.” I decided to change my image to look more courageous, so now I’m a little brunette,” said Baskov.
Astrologer Pavel Globa noted that October 5 is a good day for politicians. The specialist believes that Nikolai and Victoria chose a good date for the celebration. “The marriage will not just be stellar, but will have a great continuation,” Globa believes.
Nikolai Baskov’s first love, actress Natalya Gromushkina, joined the discussion of the pop star’s wedding. “I found out about this yesterday. To be honest, I thought it was just another show. It turns out that everything is serious. Just look at how he's dressed today. And of course, Vika is charm itself. I wasn’t invited to the wedding, but I insist that I be invited to the bachelor party,” the artist joked.
Among the participants in the program was the bride Victoria Baskova. Victoria Lopyreva spoke for the first time about her wedding with the famous singer. The blonde was greeted with thunderous applause. Victoria thanked the guests of the program for their attention.
“Guys, first of all, I want to say that our union happened because we have a good sense of humor. Both Kolya and I have experience behind us, we are not 18 years old. When many people monitor your personal life, it is destroyed. I don’t post photos because I don’t want to... Whether you believe it or not, I don’t care. We don't want to prove anything to anyone, we just want to live. There is a phrase: “Forgive our happiness and pass by,” the model shared.
The artist’s mother admitted that she asked him to postpone the wedding ceremony. “She lost her father on October 5,” Baskov explained. He also added that the wedding date will be known a little later.
“When Nikolai called, I was overcome with insane joy. I took this news as long-awaited. I realized that my son was ready to start a family. But then they told me the date. October 5th is a day of remembrance in our family... Vika understood this situation. At the moment we are talking about postponing the wedding date. I like Vika, I love my son very much... I would like them to take a closer look at each other,” said Nikolai’s parent Elena Nikolaevna.
At the finale of the program, Nikolai Baskov performed a song that he dedicated to Victoria Lopyreva. The lovers began to dance, as did other studio guests.
Correspondents contacted Sofia with a request to comment on the current situation. The young woman did not hide the fact that she was surprised by Baskov’s act. According to Kalcheva, she could not even think that the artist would suddenly decide to get married to another woman. “It’s simply impossible to explain. Lump in throat, painful. It seemed like love, it seemed like everything was fine. Yes, we had some disagreements, he had a lot of concerts. I wanted him to be at home with me more often. But he was more often with another woman, broadcasting some kind of program, of course, I didn’t like it. (...) Of course, I didn’t want to let go, it was a shock for me, I was speechless,” Sophie confesses.

At the same time, Kalcheva respected Baskov’s choice. “If he really thinks that this is what he needs, God forbid,” says the artist’s former lover.

During a conversation with journalists, Sophie Kalcheva also gave advice to Nikolai Baskov’s current passion. The brunette believes that it’s time for the model to settle down and start a family. The young woman knows what she is talking about - she is raising her son Bogdan from a previous relationship.

“I can speak purely as a woman. I think it’s enough to run around the world, you need to get married at least once, after all, the girl is already 34 years old. Beautiful, textured. And I already need to have a child, at least I’ve been married and have a child. God grant her to give birth, to be a woman, as long as she can look for a groom. And what a groom, blond, “the golden voice of Russia,” said Sophie.
On the eve of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, a new name appears more often on the Internet, TV news and in the press - Vika Lopyreva. The biography of the southern beauty from Rostov-on-Don, the symbol of the main sports competition of the year, is full of breathtaking successes, colorful glossy photos and thousands of kilometers of travel.
Spectacular blonde conquers the jury
The popular blogger was born on July 26, 1983 in the family of a businesswoman and an artist, studied at a regular school, studied music, and then received a higher education in management.
At the age of 16, the girl discovered a career in the fashion industry, making it to the finals of the international Elite Model Look competition for catwalk debutantes. From 2000 to 2003, the young beauty won eight victories in beauty contests at the regional and state level, such as “Best Model of the South of Russia”, “Face of the Year” and “Donbass Open”. The pinnacle of success was the title “Miss Russia - 2003”.
After 2003, Victoria participated in competitions not as a professional model, but as the organizer and presenter of Miss Russia and Miss Europe. Doctors, including plastic surgeon Hayk Babayan, claim that during this period the young woman performed health procedures and operations on her appearance that corrected the shape of her cheekbones, nose, and lips.
Also, the future television star has corrected her figure, and now on websites and forums she is called an example not of natural attractiveness, but of modern technological achievements in cosmetology.
No longer an employee of the fashion business, the young model continues to collaborate with popular magazines both for a female audience, for example, Cosmopolitan, Gala, and for men, for example, Maxim.
Television career
After a dizzying rise in the field of glamor, the future FIFA ambassador chose to participate in television projects, which can be divided into three types:
- Sports programs (“Football Kitchen”, “Real Sports”, “Games with Olympus”);
- Fashion and style (“Fashion First Aid”, FashionChart);
- Women's reality shows (“Love Actually”).
She also took part in the extreme exciting program “The Last Hero”.
The presenter collaborates with the country's main television channels, such as NTV, MUZ-TV and, of course, Channel One. The beauty was repeatedly invited to appear in music videos by performers Timati, Philip Kirkorov, Dmitry Malikov, Nikolai Baskov, Vlad Topalov.
FIFA 2018 Ambassador
While working in the media, the TV star became interested in football, met the best players of the national team, and in 2015 was awarded the Premier award from the Russian Premier League for her contribution to the development of Russia’s favorite sport.
To popularize the most important international event in Russia in 2018, 11 host cities of the upcoming matches elected their representatives as ambassadors of the main championship on the planet. One of the volunteers from Rostov-on-Don is Victoria Lopyreva. Together with her, Vyacheslav Butusov, Elena Isinbaeva, Alexey Smertin, Danila Kozlovsky, Sergey Svetlakov took on the honorary role of ambassadors.
Taking on the work of a PR woman and ally of Russian football, the girl makes videos about the activity of volunteers, travels around the capitals with a marketing company presenting the future event to the participating teams and their fans, promising hospitality and comfort for all guests.
The public figure regularly appears in the stands to cheer on his favorite team Manchester United. In addition to her enthusiastic struggle to promote Russian sports, the girl is the UN Special Ambassador for HIV/AIDS.

The beauty uses the increasingly popular photo resource instagram to promote your own projects online. High-quality images and amateur photographs are accompanied by captions in English and Russian, always ending with a capital letter of the name V.
Arriving in a new country, covering any event, be it an award ceremony, an economic congress or a meeting of friends, Victoria writes a text that is understandable to local fans in the language of the host state.
Main topics of the posts:
- World football events and PR 2018 World Cup;
- Advertising of beauty products and gadgets;
- Impressions of trips, tourist destinations, beauty salons and hotels;
- Glamorous parties, fashion evenings;
- Promotional photo of Victoria herself.
In January 2018 1.7 million people have subscribed to the girl’s channel, each message receives several dozen comments and more than fifty thousand likes. The popularity of the page is fueled by participation in Internet trends, such as the HeadBallChallenge.
Vika Lopyreva and Basque
Vietoria's personal life, like that of any beauty in show business, is full of twists and turns. It is known that Miss Russia 2003 received attention from many men, for example, singer Vlad Topalov, athlete Alexander Ovechknia. One lucky person managed to take the beauty down the aisle. After a two-year marriage and divorce from Russian national team striker Fedor Smolov, the model led an active life, traveling.
In 2017, Ramzan Kadyrov published a video on Instagram in which Nikolai Baskov celebrated the first match of the Akhmat club in Grozny asks the head of Chechnya to witness his engagement to Victoria. This news had the effect of exploding a grenade for fans of the stars and caused furious discussions on social networks and the media. The stars have known each other for more than ten years; in the same year they filmed the video “Your Eyes Marengo” together.
The wedding was scheduled for October 5, 2017, but later on the talk show “Live” the couple announced the postponement of the celebration to an unknown time. The reason for the postponement was the request of the groom's mother - on the chosen date the family pays tribute to the memory of Nikolai's grandfather. Observers of these events suggest that the hype around the star couple was created specifically as a marketing ploy.
Residents of the Russian Federation are proud that the country is represented at the global level by a woman like Vika Lopyreva. The blogger’s biography, list of successes and ups indicate that in 2018 the world will hear her voice on air more than once and see new photos on spreads.

The wedding of Lopyreva and Baskov has been postponed to an unknown date. Fans suspect that this is another PR stunt.
The reason why the wedding of the young people was postponed is quite compelling. The distrust of the environment does not bother the star couple. The wedding is planned for the summer. Nikolai Baskov intends to conclude a marriage contract.

Fans and acquaintances of the couple reacted to the news with disbelief. Many suspected that the event was invented by the stars in order to “stir up” interest in their persons. And the fact that the event was postponed and did not take place on time only increased confidence in this version.

In her interview with Andrei Malakhov, Nikolai Baskov’s mother said that the planned wedding day, the fifth of October, coincided with the day of the death of her father, Nikolai’s grandfather. And at her request, the young people experienced a joyful event. Nikolai’s mother really likes her son’s chosen one.
According to the latest data, it is unknown when and where the wedding will take place. The lovers have not yet commented on what is happening. There are assumptions that the celebration will be celebrated, as planned, in Chechnya.
In an interview, Nikolai and Vika said that they are not at all concerned about the public’s attitude towards their personal lives. Many people still consider weddings a joke. And Nikolai assured that this time he quickly and decisively proposed to the girl, and Vika agreed.
Victoria Lopyreva's wedding outfit is already ready. Vika left a chic dress from fashion designer Yudashkin after her failed wedding with football player Smolov. And Nikolai prepared a seven-carat diamond ring for the bride.
Nikolai Baskov and Lopyreva personal life latest news: a profitable marriage contract will save the artist from past mistakes
The wedding of Lopyreva and Baskov is not a myth after all. According to the latest information, the event has been postponed to the summer of 2018. Young people carefully prepare for the celebration and for their future family life.
Nikolai unconditionally decided to draw up a strict marriage contract. In his opinion, this legal document provides certain guarantees and confidence that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated. The singer promises that having a contract will be beneficial for both him and his future wife.
The natural blond does not hide the fact that he has always generously given gifts to his ladies and Vika is no exception. In an interview, Baskov joked that if his wallet gets thinner, he has to look for a lady with fewer demands.
On October 15, the singer celebrates his birthday. And we took the opportunity to find out the details of the upcoming wedding, and also remembered all his serious novels.
Where it all started
The first to speak about the wedding of Nikolai Baskov and Victoria Lopyreva was the President of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov. He posted on his Instagram page a video from the gala reception dedicated to the first match of the Akhmat football club in Grozny.
In this video, Baskov proposes to Lopyreva and gives her a beautiful gold ring with a very noticeable diamond:
“Dear Ramzan Akhmatovich, I ask you to become a witness at our engagement and future wedding. I want to propose to Victoria because I have known this girl for a long time and love her very much. I want to make her the happiest in the world. My heart belongs completely to her, and there is no other woman in my thoughts.”
Ramzan Kadyrov, in turn, promised to support the young people and offered to celebrate the wedding in Grozny. All this happened in front of the eyes of figure skater Evgeni Plushenko and his wife Yana Rudkovskaya, singer Valeria, rapper Timati, actor Igor Vernik...
There's going to be a wedding?!
The wedding was planned for October 5th. But due to a number of circumstances, the lovers postponed the celebration indefinitely and promised that they would definitely tell about it in advance. More details
As Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov said: “In Grozny you can get married, but you cannot get divorced.”
By the way, the wedding will be alcohol-free. In Chechnya, you can’t not only get divorced, but also drink.
“I was not just a witness to the engagement, but a cameraman, filming what was happening on my phone,” producer Joseph Prigozhin told Antenna. – I saw how Kolya put a ring on Victoria’s finger! It was a pleasant shock. I’ll quote the lines from the song: “Love will unexpectedly appear when you least expect it.” And so it happened. A flame ignited from a spark. Kolya Baskov says that he liked Victoria for a long time. And Vika said: “All my life I dreamed that Nikolai Baskov would officiate my wedding.” I replied that her dream had come true and Kolya would not only officiate the wedding, but would make Vika happy every day. I think she's lucky. Kolya is a very cheerful, decent guy, a holiday person. They look great together. After the engagement, Vika and Kolya danced a lezginka. However, everyone had to dance it. Both Valeria and I had our debut that day. Even former CSKA coach Valery Gazzaev danced.”
Guest marriage is a thing of the past
It is worth noting that when Basque announced his wedding with Lopyreva, many were shocked. But what about Sophie Kalcheva, with whom Nikolai’s relationship lasted for three years?
Here's how the singer told Antenna about them:
“I'm not 20 years old. Sometimes, when you are very tired, you want to sleep alone... I am a creative person and I understand perfectly well: life with me is not easy, but Sophie puts up with me. A woman in love should have enough wisdom to accept a man as he is, especially a mature one - forty years old. Today there is a wonderful term - “guest marriage”. Believe me, it is very popular these days, although this form of relationship may seem abnormal to the older generation. But understand, with my crazy life (constant touring and filming), such a union is convenient for me. It suits both me and Sophie. I don't want to think about what will happen tomorrow or in a year. Now we feel good together. We enjoy life."
Nikolay Baskov and Sophie Kalcheva
Then the artist, as if on a subconscious level, gave himself a chance to break up with Sophie. Talking to Antenna before his anniversary, he admitted that after 40 years he expects big changes in his life, including his personal one. True, he later asked me to cross out this phrase of his.
If you believe the singer’s close circle, the relationship with Sophie really gradually began to fade away. The couple spent less and less time together, and since April of this year, photos of them together have no longer appeared on social networks. Sophie began independent concert activity, which is produced by Basque. He intends to continue to supervise his former lover - Nikolai has always drawn a clear line between work and personal life. Fans also noticed that Basque and Sophie are now vacationing in different places, and when they participate in joint concerts in other cities, they live in different rooms.
“Why can Leonid Agutin and Angelika Varum do this, but I, at 40 years old, can’t?” – Basque once threw out to journalists.
“Everyone has temptations,” Nikolai shared in a frank interview with Antenna. – Usually I get used to a person, and I feel comfortable. But it happened that during a serious relationship I suddenly realized that I could not be with this person. I woke up in the morning and felt that I shouldn’t force myself. After all, I told Sophie (and other women) that if we start to create some problems, feel discomfort from communication, then we need to solve everything in such a way that we don’t hate each other later. There is only one life, no one will give us another.”
Apparently, this is exactly the situation that the couple began to experience, after which they mutually decided to separate.
“I once proposed to Sophie,” Baskov admitted, “but she said: “Why is this necessary, we’re already doing well.” I am grateful to Sonya for the period of our happiness. We separated, but remained not strangers to each other.”
Nicholas's favorite women
Baskov has many novels under his belt. Let's focus on the most significant ones.
Svetlana Shpigel, daughter of producer Boris Shpigel. Nikolai was married to her for seven years. In this marriage, Baskov had a son, Bronislav. In November 2007, a difficult divorce process began, which lasted six months.
Oksana Fedorova, TV presenter, Miss Universe – 2002. The couple's relationship began immediately after Nikolai's divorce. At the beginning of their romance, Oksana was still married to German businessman Philip Toft. In 2009, at a music festival in Jurmala, Nikolai even proposed marriage to Oksana. But the wedding never happened. In 2010, the couple separated.
Anastasia Volochkova, ballerina. Baskov announced this affair on social networks in the summer of 2011, posting a photo in which Nastya slept on his bare chest. This novel by Baskov was bright, but fleeting. Already in winter the couple separated.
Victoria Lopyreva
According to the model and TV presenter, she owes her external data to her parents. Lopyreva’s mother (also a former model) still looks amazing.
Victoria recalled that she had no intention of entering the Don Photo Model competition, which she won at the age of 16 in her native Rostov-on-Don.

But she didn’t feel comfortable refusing the person who called. Then Vika successfully combined her studies (piano class at the Tchaikovsky Music School, Rostov University of Economics) and her modeling career, receiving the title “Miss Russia” in 2003.
In April, at the award ceremony of the Miss Russia 2017 beauty contest, Baskov invited Lopyreva to dance. He shared this video on Instagram with the caption: “Dear Vika Lopyreva, every time I’m with you it’s a great pleasure.” “I miss you already,” the beauty wrote in response and decorated the message with three hearts. Later, Victoria called Baskov “beloved” on the Internet, which provoked rumors of an affair. Well, then Nikolai posted a photo of them together from Turkey with the caption: “Together again, close again... It seems like old friends, but every meeting is like the first time!”
Meanwhile...
We called the winner of the TNT show “Battle of Psychics” Victoria Raidos. It was she who predicted the birth of her third son to singer Natalie. Here's what the famous psychic said about the breakup between Baskov and Sophie:
– For Nikolai and Sophie this is the finale. For some time they were for each other's benefit. It was a warm relationship. Passionate. Lungs. But not for long. Now their paths are diverging, and they will no longer be together. Nikolai will complete some creative work he started with her, he won’t give up halfway, but according to fate, they have already parted ways, they will no longer be together. I see no offense or scandal. The solution is peaceful, mutual (read more).
