Personal life of Vlada Litovchenko
Vlada Litovchenko hides her personal life from prying eyes and almost does not tell the details of her family life.
For the first time, Vlada Litovchenko tied the knot at the age of 18 (in 1998) with an architect from Kyiv, Oleg Kedrin, but divorced five years later. At the age of 18, Vlad gave birth to a daughter, Margarita.
Then, Vlada decided to try her luck with another person and legalized her relationship with Igor Litovchenko, the ex-president of the Kyivstar company, from whom Vlada is raising her daughter Christina.
I married an ordinary guy. When we decided to live together, Igor brought me to our first dwelling – a rented apartment in Troyeshchina, where it was knee-deep in mud, and his suits hung on hammered nails. Gradually, step by step, we managed to create a family, to establish a life. After four years of marriage, they absolutely consciously decided to give birth to another child, so Kristinka appeared. We bought a large apartment and made good repairs to it. They lived together for nine years.
It is known that in 2008, on September 29, the president of the Karin MMG modeling agency, Vlada Litovchenko, married her chosen one, a Dnepropetrovsk businessman, the head of the Agro-Soyuz corporation, Sergey Prokofiev. The happy newlyweds spent their wedding weekend in Prague and Karlovy Vary.
For 4 years they lived together, but in 2012 Vlad admitted that they had divorced.
The fact that the feelings were gone, and we became strangers to each other, I did not immediately understand. For me, there were no hints, signals, transformations. We lived our usual problems and worries. Perhaps at some point it was necessary to change something, maybe to become more sensitive and attentive.
The couple lived together for 5 years.
Considering all her achievements, the model considers her daughters the greatest asset.
“For a woman, the most important project of her life is her children and their upbringing. And this is a huge responsibility. If a woman wants a child, she must understand whether she has the strength and ability to raise this child. Because in our society, men cannot be fully relied upon. These moments of personal responsibility need to be thought out in advance, and not succumb to some emotions. I think that now there are a lot of opportunities to combine all types of activities – to be a mother, a businesswoman, and just a woman. And while raising children will not suffer. With proper time planning, it is quite possible to achieve success in work and raise healthy and well-mannered children.
– Notes Vlada Litovchenko.
“All your spiritual scars are proof that you have overcome pain, learned a lesson, become stronger. Don’t let scars hold you hostage and make you live in fear. The eminent Persian Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi once said: “Light enters through your wounds.” Nothing can be closer to the truth. Out of suffering came the strongest souls; the most powerful people in this big world are marked with scars”
– says Vlad Litovchenko, based on life experience.
