A black cat ran between Stepan and his wifeEugene in June: then Zhenya changed the nickname in Instagram on Evgeniyanetvoya2017, the couple stopped sharing their photos. But the pair said about the separation only at the end of September. Then the showman from Yekaterinburg sadly confessed Woman's Day: - It is she who left me. I myself do not understand what is happening. And in an interview to the magazine StarHit said: - Zhenya decided to live without me. She always wants to live without me. I'm tired of saying: "What are you doing - two little children, who do you need? Now is a difficult time of crisis - and I'm tight as an artist, I still need to feed the children. Who will support them, you. " Of course, I will help, but it's not easy for me either. It's easier to live together. Such skirmishes took place constantly - as the economy subsides, so I'm bad. Well, forcibly you will not be nice. I was for her just a passing ticket to Moscow.1/6Wedding of Stepan Menshchikov and EvgeniaShamaevaPhoto: @stepanmenIt seemed that the couple was happy. But Zhenya had been accumulating grievances all this time…Photo: @stepanmenIt had only been six months since the birth of their daughter Varya, when the couple broke up…Photo: @stepanmenPhoto: @stepanmenPhoto: @stepanmenIt turned out that the problems in the family had been accumulating for more than one year. On Instagram, Evgenia did not hide her bitterness and resentment towards the father of her children: - How well sometimes a photo conveys the emotional background of a relationship. We celebrated the birth of Ivan - 4 years. Stepan really didn’t want to celebrate it, in general, like all holidays related to the family, us, children, but, you could say, he was dragged out by the ears that day. If you look closely at the photo, you can see it very well. This is how you live with a person, share your life, your bed, and it turns out that he is a complete stranger to you and you lived different lives. I made a mistake from the beginning - I put up with things that cannot be put up with! So now I am correcting it and moving on. Only Love, only understanding, respect, loyalty and common goals will make your union the strongest. Everything else is false, which does not lead to anything good. These are my conclusions, I learned this from you @stepanmen, thank you for your lessons. And StarHit admitted: - Stepan has been living in Sochi for four months now, holding events there. Of course, I knew how much he loved parties, that he was surrounded by beautiful girls. I would never have let him go, but no one asked me. We often argued, this negatively affected the children. At some point, I decided that it was time to end it. Now Evgenia lives with two children in a one-room apartment in the Moscow region.1/3That very same birthday of Ivan.Evgeniya cited this photo as proof of Stepa’s indifferencePhoto: @evgeniyanetvoya2017Zhenya now lives separately with her childrenPhoto: @evgeniyanetvoya2017The younger Varya is a copy of Stepan!Photo: @evgeniyanetvoya2017The couple has already had serious conflicts. For example, a year and a half ago, when Stepan was caught cheating, but his wife forgave him. Fans hoped that this time too, things would work out. But…Stepan and Zhenya decided to tell Dmitry Shepelev about the reasons for their separation in the program “Actually” on Channel One. However, everything did not go quite according to plan. The program has not yet aired, but it has already become known that… Evgeniya Shamaeva’s first son is not Stepa’s! The “father” and “son” took DNA tests before the broadcast, the results of which were announced later. This came as a shock to Stepan Menshchikov – Vanya is not his biological father. As many media outlets quote a “source close to the couple”: “Stepa thought he would just earn money on the show, and then this happened.” Stepan admitted to StarHit magazine after the filming: “I think there is no point in them lying. Moreover, this was confirmed not only by the test, but also by the polygraph, and by Zhenya herself. She did not even try to justify herself or explain. I do not know the potential father. I cannot even guess who it could be. But I would like to know who it is. I am interested. I will always love Vanya, raise him, support him and take care of him. I do not refuse alimony, and even less do I refuse paternity. I doubt that my son will look for his biological father when he reaches a conscious age. Why is this necessary? After this situation, I will definitely not be able to be with Zhenya. All our terms and agreements will be revised. The divorce process will begin soon.Stepan Menshchikov with his son Vanya: the photo was taken before that ill-fated broadcast…Photo: @stepanmen
