This was followed by work in the action movie "Stargazer" about a young man Sergei Chumakov (Vladimir Vdovichenkov), working as an undercover spy. After participating in the youth comedy "Dreaming is not harmful", the artist disappeared from the TV screens. She was almost never involved in the theater.

Only in 2014, Irina briefly returned to the set to take part in a project dedicated to the writer Alexander Kuprin. Leonova was reincarnated as the heroine Vera Nikolaevna Sheina, who appeared in the literary work "Pomegranate Bracelet".

In 2017, the actress appeared in the Maly Theater play "King Lear" as Regan. The slender performer (Irina's height - 169 cm, weight - 56 kg) with a majestic posture fits perfectly into the classical repertoire.

In her native theater school, Irina Leonova met a young actor Igor Petrenko. In 2000, she married him and lived with him for 4 years. It is assumed that the reason for the divorce was the impossibility of having children. Be that as it may, on the set of the drama "Children of the Arbat" Irina's personal life has undergone changes. The girl met a young actor Yevgeny Tsyganov. Soon after filming, Leonova moved to her lover.

Tsyganov and Leonova lived as husband and wife, but did not enter into an official union. The couple had seven children - daughters Polina, Sofia and Vera, as well as sons Nikita, Andrei, Alexander and Georgy. At first, the family huddled in a 1-room apartment, but after the birth of the fifth baby, who was named George, Evgeny managed to buy a 4-room apartment.

When the actress was in the last months of pregnancy with her youngest daughter Vera in 2015, she learned that the common-law spouse Yevgeny Tsyganov had built a new relationship with Yulia Snigir, with whom she starred in the films Where the Motherland Begins, About Love, The Land of Oz ". The situation was aggravated by the fact that the husband was expecting a child from another woman. Soon, the parents of seven children decided to separate.

The ex-wife of Yevgeny Tsyganov could not stay with the children in the apartment on Leninsky Prospekt, which her husband had previously acquired: the memories were too heavy. The woman exchanged housing. In her native Maly Theater, she was greeted with open arms. The nanny helped with the children, the actress's parents, as well as her brother Vladimir, who still live in Tallinn, joined in.

Leonova quickly regained her form and additionally began to give private lessons in acting for metropolitan applicants. At first, Tsyganov avoided communicating with his family, only helping financially, but soon the relationship between the ex-spouses warmed up.

Irina Leonova leads a closed lifestyle and still avoids communication with journalists. The woman does not have her own page on Instagram; fans find rare photos of the actress and family only on public Internet resources.

Irina Leonova has already managed to present seven offspring to the public from the creative side. Together with the children in 2017, she took part in the concert "Dedicated to the Great Victory", which took place on the stage of the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall. All together they performed the song "Lullaby".
