“There is no second first time”

Lavrentiev posted an emotional message about how the children are experiencing the trip: “We haven’t even reached the sea yet. But the children already have oceans of impressions. An airport where everything is enormous. A plane where food is brought right to your seat. Palm trees that used to live only in cartoons. A hotel where you can get lost and not be upset.” He added that “adults get tired on the first day” while “children discover the world,” and signed off: “There is no second first time. Our big family is on vacation. Hang in there, family chat.”

What is known about the family

The couple is raising two boys: four-year-old Theodor and two-year-old Lev. According to the outlet, the showman said on social media that he was present at both of his wife’s births, and Astrovskaya called him an “involved father” who shares childcare and parenting duties equally with her — according to her, that is exactly why she decided to have a second child. The TV presenter also admitted that after her first birth she quickly got back into shape, but after the second this did not happen: it took her eight months to accept her changed body and recognize her “new beauty.”
