Ovsienko: 'I did not take Vladimir Grigoryevich away'
Singer Tatyana Ovsienko has denied years-long rumors that she took producer Vladimir Dubovitsky away from Irina Allegrova's family. She shared her revelations in an interview with Boris Korchevnikov, a journalist with the IS 'Vesti' news service; Gazeta.Ru clarifies that this refers to an episode of the program 'The Fate of a Man'. 'Besides, I did not take Vladimir Grigoryevich away, I did not steal him from Irina. It just so happened that they themselves decided not to be a couple anymore, so to speak, not to live together,' — Life.ru quotes Ovsienko as saying.
Admission about the marriage and their current relationship
At the same time, the singer admitted that at that time Dubovitsky was still officially married to Allegrova, but, according to her, there was no struggle over the man between the two artists. 'That was a long time ago, we are all friends, we have wonderful relations,' Ovsienko emphasized. Gazeta.Ru adds that she considers Dubovitsky her best friend. In those years, the singer recalled, she was fully immersed in her work with the group 'Mirage': the band toured a lot, and her personal life took a back seat.
Timeline of the relationship
Ovsienko and Dubovitsky met when the future singer was working at a hotel, and the producer came there on tour with the group 'Electroclub' — at that time he was married to Allegrova. In 1993, Ovsienko and Dubovitsky got married; the producer helped the artist develop her solo career after leaving 'Mirage'. In 1999, the couple adopted a boy named Igor, who had a congenital heart defect, and the singer helped pay for his surgery. The family fell apart: in 2003 the couple separated, and in 2007 they officially divorced. After the breakup, Ovsienko raised her adopted son on her own until she met businessman Alexander Merkulov in 2008. Gazeta.Ru, citing the same episode, reports that Igor, now an adult, currently lives in the USA and is raising a child there. In October, Ovsienko celebrated her 60th birthday and continues to perform.
