Ekaterina Gerun

Getting acquainted with Igor Akinfeev, the Kiev actress Katerina Gerun did not even imagine that she was communicating with the star of Russian football. Later, the girl admitted that she was not only far from sports, but also did not welcome relations with representatives of this sphere. But the young man, whom a mutual friend introduced, so charmed the artist with prudence and attentiveness that the opinion changed by itself.

The hometown of the wife of the Russian goalkeeper is Kiev. Here she was born on November 1, 1986, and also spent her childhood and adolescence. The girl's parents were philologists. Dad wrote books, and mom taught Russian language and literature in one of the capital's schools. Ekaterina recalls that at home they always spoke both Ukrainian and Russian, which allowed her to easily master both.

However, the girl was not drawn to literature. After graduating from school, Ekaterina chose the profession of a chemical production technologist and entered the Pharmaceutical Academy located in Kharkov.

However, even in her student years, Gerun began working in a company that was engaged in the distribution of foreign films. The chemist's diploma soon fell on the shelf, and the graduate of the pharmaceutical academy went to the studio at the Les Kurbas Lviv Academic Theater, which she graduated in 2010, for a second education.

The girl's acting career began with filming in commercials. Gerun also moonlighted as a model for glossy publications. Back in 2007, Ekaterina passed a casting for filming a music video for Sergey Lazarev's song "Remember".

The well-known clip maker Irina Mironova was involved in the script, directing and production of the video. She has a huge number of works for Alla Pugacheva, Christina Orbakaite, Stas Mikhailov, "Bi-2", MakSim and even Timati and Decl.

According to the plot, then a student of the pharmaceutical academy was to play the beloved performer. The episodes, in which the characters are looking for each other in long corridors and interiors, were replaced by sensual scenes with hugs and kisses against the background of a screen broadcasting the sea surf.

In 2018, after Akinfeev's victorious performance in the world championship match against Spain, Lazarev published on Instagram a note that, to his surprise, the current wife of the goalkeeper participated in the filming of the video 10 years ago.

However, the words that "the clip was hot" were perceived ambiguously by the artist's subscribers. Some saw an attempt to offend the couple, others - a way to rise on the wave of popularity of the Russian footballer.

Lazarev had to supplement the entry with a comment about the absence of intentions to offend the feelings of Catherine or her famous husband. Akinfeev himself, like Gerun, by the way, did not publicly react to the scandal.

In 2012, the biography of the Kievite was replenished with three ribbons. Katerina starred in the short films Life After Death and Lovebot. In the same year, she got a cameo role in the melodrama Lectures for Housewives. The film, starring Boris Khvoshnyansky, Olga Grishina and Fyodor Gurinets, was shown on the Russian TV channel Domashny in December 2012.

It is also known that the future wife of Igor Akinfeev participated in beauty contests. In particular, the girl was one of the contenders to represent Ukraine at the Miss Universe 2007 contest, but the jury put her in fourth place.

Ekaterina and Igor met in Moscow. Young people only had time to exchange phones - the next day the girl returned to Ukraine. The virtual correspondence lasted for several months, after which the couple spent a vacation together. And then Igor decided that the relationship should go to a more serious level.

The wedding was celebrated in a circle so narrow that the public found out about Igor Akinfeev's legal wife only after the birth of his son. The boy, named Dania, was born on May 17, 2014. As Catherine later recalled, her husband stood at the door of the delivery room and encouraged:

The couple now have two children. On September 4, 2015, Daniel's sister was born, who was named Evangeline. The choice of the name is not accidental: the family adheres to Orthodox traditions. As the parents note, they want to tell their daughter and son about the details of Orthodox culture, but the choice of religion in the future will be left to them.

So far, spouses rarely go on trips. In an interview, Ekaterina admitted that their dream is to go on a trip to the cities of the Golden Ring. The couple plans to perform it with the children when they grow up.

The Akinfeevs are friends with the family of Sergei Zhukov, the permanent vocalist of the pop group Hands Up! The captain of the Russian national team met the musician at the beginning of the 2000s. Zhukov even offered the athlete to become the godfather of his daughter, and the footballer happily agreed.

Ekaterina Gerun is the namesake of the video blogger Ivan Gerun, whose girlfriend is also called Katya. They are sometimes confused due to coincidence. In 2017, there were reports that Ekaterina Gerun had a miscarriage, but this news referred to Ivan's companion, not Igor. The goalkeeper's wife was not pregnant at the time.

According to open data, Catherine's weight is 52 kg, and her height is 174 cm. The girl is 12 cm shorter than her famous husband.

The other half of the leader of the Russian national football team is busy with raising children. In an interview, the goalkeeper said that his wife speaks to her daughter and son in both Russian and English. Thanks to this, at the age of one and a half, the girl learned to count to ten in English.

Komsomolskaya Pravda reported that Gerun opened a beauty salon, but neither Ekaterina nor Igor confirmed this information. In February 2018, a girl in the "Education" section of her Facebook profile indicated "Moscow School of Cinema". In the summer of 2018, the couple attended the opening of Sergey Zhukov's confectionery.

Katerina Gerun has an Instagram account, but after it became known about her “star” marriage, the published photos began to migrate to the press. As a result, the girl closed her profile. Prior to that, she published pictures from leisure and social events.
