Before marriage and baptism, which took place when the actor was 28 years old, he was by no means a "good girl". Ilya frankly admitted in an interview that he tried everything in the entertainment industry - from gambling to drugs. However, at one point he realized that he was tired of all this. And then the friendship with the actor Andrei Shchennikov, who was ordained a priest, came in handy.

Before gaining faith, the actor did not have a personal life. As he confessed, he lost hope of meeting his love. Faith was the first step to real happiness. Soon after his baptism, Ilya broke up with his first wife, with whom he lived for several years.

As the actor said in an interview, he met his soul mate at a gas station. The first acquaintance could have ended in nothing, if soon Catherine had not appeared on Easter in the church where Ilya served as sexton. According to the artist, the future wife did not flirt with him, and he did not conquer her. Already at the very beginning of the relationship, young people understood that everything would end in marriage.
