Is Zapashny ready to marry his son’s mother?
A joyful event happened at the end of summer in the Zapashny family - Edgard became a father for the third time. The famous trainer and his lover had a son, who was named Daniel.
Nevertheless, at just over 40, the father of three children still remains a bachelor and has never crossed the threshold of a registry office. Why doesn't Edgard marry the mothers of his children and who is next to him now?
Zapashny himself spoke about the new addition to the family. He left a post on his personal microblog, which immediately aroused an unhealthy interest in the trainer’s relationship with the mother of the newborn. Even those who were not aware of the story of their love began to wonder: what is it actually about?
“Today I became a father for the third time, and Yaroslavna became a mother, respectively! - Edgard said. - Now I also have a son! Thank you very much everyone for future congratulations. The only thing I would like to ask everyone is not to speculate or spread any rumors about our relationship with Yaroslavna! Personal life should remain private..."
Who is she, this mysterious Yaroslavna? And why is Edgard so afraid of rumors?
WILL IT REALLY BE RINGED?
Edgard's current chosen one, whom he calls Yaroslavna, is actually Yaroslava Demeshko. In the comments to Zapashny’s posts, information often appears that the girl once worked as a stripper in the city on the Neva, but there is no evidence for these statements.
Yaroslavna and Edgard met four years ago in a common company. The girl was then just over 20, Edgard was almost twice as old. The romance began immediately. Soon they began to live together, and Yaroslavna, in order to be closer to her beloved, even got a job at the Zapashny Brothers Circus.
Edgard’s mother, Tatyana Zapashnaya, approved of her son’s choice:
- Edgard introduced me to Yaroslavna a long time ago, I really like her. Kind, calm, not like us crazy people! She has a good figure, she is a beautiful, bright girl. And most importantly, my son is happy with her, I don’t need anything more!
True, Edgard hid his new passion from prying eyes for a long time. Only a year ago did he finally allow Yaroslavna to post social media photos of them together. And in conversations with others he began to emphasize that a permanent girl had appeared next to him.
And when it became known that Yaroslavna would not only give him a child, but a long-awaited heir, Edgard completely decided to reconsider his views on life.
Over the past couple of months, he has hinted more than once that he seems ready to finally get married. They say, gone are the days when you wanted freedom, heaps of beautiful girls around. Now he is not at all attracted to outside affairs. On the contrary, he wants to rush every evening to the family nest, where she is waiting - the one and only one he has been looking for for so long.
HIGH RELATIONSHIPS!
The joy of the appearance of the heir was overshadowed by the fact that the baby was born for several weeks ahead of schedule. At the moment when Yaroslavna realized that she was giving birth, Edgard was on vacation in Astrakhan. But, of course, he immediately abandoned hunting and fishing and took the first flight to Moscow.
At that time, the newborn was in the intensive care unit under the round-the-clock supervision of doctors - after all, he was born very weak. But everything worked out. After 10 days, Daniel and his mother were already at home.
It is noteworthy that one of the first to congratulate Edgard on the birth of his heir was his former lover, Olga Denisova. They dated for several years and became the parents of two daughters - Gloria and Stefania. However, Olga never received a marriage proposal.
Moreover, despite having two children together, they never lived together. Nevertheless, after breaking up, Edgard and Olga managed to maintain friendly relations. Three times a week Denisova always tries to come with the girls from the Moscow region, where she now lives, to see Zapashny at his circus. After all, daughters really need communication with their father...
In general, in these relations Edgard behaved very nobly. Despite the fact that both daughters were born out of wedlock, he immediately recognized them and gave them his last name. Even now, when the ex-lover got married (to a businessman named Dmitry) and gave birth to a child, Zapashny continues to fully support her.
He’s even going to donate his large three-room apartment. After all, Olga lives in Krasnoznamensk, and it’s hard for her to come to Moscow with her girls. And the apartment is located next to the circus, so Edgard will be able to see his daughters much more often.
TO BE CONTINUED
By the way, when Olga gave birth to a son in her new marriage, Edgard was also one of the first to congratulate his former lover on the birth of the baby, and even personally came on a visit to look at the newborn.
And before that, when Olga and Dmitry had just announced their desire to get married, he met with the latter face to face in order to understand what kind of person he was, how adequate he was and whether he was able to take responsibility, including for two little girls. .
Until recently, Edgard and Askold Zapashny joked that they had rebranded: the Zapashny brothers were replaced by the Zapashny sisters. After all, both Askold and Edgard had two daughters. Therefore, the birth of a son is, of course, a big event for the entire clan.
Now Edgard is going to move to a new house with Yaroslavna. The trainer is completing it at an accelerated pace: he wants his son to grow up in the fresh air. And, by the way, Edgard planned a large children's room in the new home, which has as many as four beds. So you can rest assured: to be continued!
Mom and Dad are still thinking about a name
Edgard Zapashny had a son - the famous trainer is now “three times father.” Edgard and his lifelong friend Yaroslavna were expecting a baby in September, but their son was unexpectedly born earlier, at 35 weeks: height 49 cm, weight 3 kg, while under the supervision of doctors, according to them, everything is fine, everything is going according to plan. Mr. Zapashny told us that he had already seen the baby: he urgently flew to Moscow from Astrakhan.

- Edgard, congratulations from the bottom of our hearts, so unexpectedly!
- Yes, he was born a little earlier. We don’t even have a name yet: we are still discussing with the child’s mother, Yaroslavna. We mentally assumed that we had two more weeks left, but then everything happened quickly... so the issue has not been resolved.
- But will your last name be?
Certainly.
-Have you seen the baby yet?
Oh yeah. It was already yesterday. They let me in for a few minutes... She gave birth in Moscow, and yesterday morning I was in Astrakhan. And suddenly she calls me - that’s it, my water has broken. I immediately flew in and went to see her.
-You weren’t present yourself?
No, I refused. I am such... what is it called... an Old Believer. I didn’t follow the fashion of being in the same room with a woman in labor. No, no, no, I wasn't there. The doctors said - Edgard, she won’t give birth until two hours later, I drove off to the circus, and as soon as I got there, the call came again: she gave birth, come back. Now the baby will have to stay in intensive care (five days exactly), he is breathing a little incorrectly, he needs to get his lungs working properly. But the doctors said that for 35 weeks the baby is very well developed and everything is going according to plan.
“You can’t decide his fate for a child, but in the circus business everything happens by itself - an apple from an apple tree...
— Yes, my little daughters Stefania and Gloria are present in the circus on a regular basis, they have an acrobatics coach; Now they devote a lot of time to rhythmic gymnastics, Stefania is reaching a competitive level, winning awards in small cities. I don’t make plans for a sports career, but I know for sure that gymnastics as a base is very useful when working in the circus. They love the circus, and I’m incredibly happy about it. After all, I surrounded them with animals at home - they have parrots, a dog, an aquarium, and I see how they both treat ours responsibly little brothers. In the circus, they immediately run to the stable - they have favorite horses, they know everyone by name (and this is more than twenty individuals), they love to ride, Stefania is even slowly starting to stand: together with her we climb onto the horse, and at a light trot she slowly stands on his back or makes a swallow...
— Is the same method for introducing your little son to the circus in the future?
- Certainly. It’s too early to say now, there are three long years ahead, when he must grow and gain strength, and from the age of 3-4 we will gradually integrate him into our art. This is all absorbed thanks to a long stay in the circus: for example, I don’t even remember when I first found myself in the circus - it was so early. For Gloria and Stefania, on a subconscious level, the circus is already home, family, the meaning of life.
— There is a phrase that “born in sawdust,” but in this case it is important to teach responsibility from an early age, which is what makes a person human.
- Yes, because my children should not grow up as “darlings of fate”, they should not ride on the successes of their father or their famous uncle, they must go through a difficult path: they will have to add their own names to the already very popular surname “Zapashny”. Not all Zapashnys succeeded in this; our dynasty is very large, and I can name a number of names, even circus performers, who could not achieve great success. And this is difficult: the name is loud, the viewer demands significant results from it. Therefore, from early childhood, my children will have a serious burden to prove their Self.
Edgard Zapashny is an unbending and willful person. Representative of the fourth generation circus dynasty. World famous tiger trainer. In 2012, Edgard Zapashny became the head of the Bolshoi State Circus in Moscow. He and his brother managed a family show called “Among the Predators.” In 1999 he became an Honored Artist of Russia. Popularity came to Zapashny early. Edgard began to be invited to various programs, and even starred in music videos. With each appearance, the hereditary trainer increased the number of fans. It is surprising that with such enormous popularity and beauty, Zapashny has never been officially married. He was in long-term civil marriages. The artist’s biography can be found out; it is not hidden from the eyes of celebrity lovers. Zapashny has never disclosed his personal life. Fans learned about his novels and spouses only after their completion. Edgar Zapashny’s wife is not alone, there were several of them, but only civilians.
Edgar Zapashny's wife photo
The first wife of the world-famous trainer Edgard Zapashny was his colleague in activity, Elena Petrikova. She was a circus performer. Edgard Zapashny lived with his common-law wife for quite a long time. Elena saw how the popularity of her chosen one grew. Nobody, neither the press nor the fans, knew about the girl. Edgard introduced his beloved only to his closest people, who numbered about ten people. A photo of Edgar Zapashny's wife can be seen below.
After 13 years of marriage, Edgard Zapashny separated from his wife. This decision was made by Petrikova. Ex-wife I couldn’t live with a man who didn’t grow up, who never became ready for serious family relations. The couple separated without a scandal, but on the contrary, they even remained friends. Zapashny told reporters that he had always maintained friendly relations with Elena.
Once in Voronezh, while on tour, Edgard met Olga Denisova. She worked with a trainer as a fitness trainer. The lovers began an affair. The tour ended, Zapashny returned to Moscow. Soon Olga also moved to the capital for work. And passion flared with renewed vigor.
Olga was essentially an overly jealous girl, and her horoscope was Aries. What alarmed Zapashny, and for a long time he was not eager to live together with the girl. However, after a while, Edgard brought the girl out into the world. She was already pregnant then.
Children appeared in the Zapashny family. In this civil marriage Edgard and his wife had two girls. The girls were born in 2011 and 2013. The first daughter was named Stefania, who is already interested in the circus in a professional sense. And two years later, Zapashny’s wife gave the artist a second girl, Gloria.
The Tiger Lord felt responsible for his family. Like the first unofficial marriage, this union also broke up. Olga left for another man. Edgard Zapashny, having learned about this, established friendly relations with the future husband of his girlfriend; he understood that his children would still live with him. The trainer takes an active part in the lives of children.
Soon Edgard met new lover- Yaroslavna Demeshko. The event occurred in 2013. She is a colleague of the circus manager and works as an administrator.
Edgard Zapashny is a representative of the famous and ancient dynasty of circus artists Zapashny. Edgard and his brother Askold are fourth generation trainers. Their names are known today far beyond Russia.
Edgard Zapashny was born in the summer of 1976 in Yalta, under the zodiac sign Cancer. His father Walter Zapashny was already one of the most respected trainers in the country. His charges are predatory animals. Walter Mikhailovich - Honored Artist of the RSFSR since 1988.
My grandparents were also circus performers. Moreover, the father of Lydia’s grandmother was the famous eccentric and clown Karl Thompson, a German by nationality, who performed in Russia under the stage name Milton.
So the great-grandchildren of the clown Milton - Edgard, Askold and Maritsa Zapashny - did not see any other way for themselves. They, as they say, absorbed the festive atmosphere of the circus with their mother’s milk. The children are already in early years knew that they would continue the famous Zapashny dynasty.
Throughout his childhood, Edgard Zapashny carefully watched his father’s work. He left the arena at the age of 70. But until the end of his life he was never able to leave his favorite business and held the post of artistic director of the Zapashny Brothers troupe he created.
IN early childhood Edgard Zapashny was very different from his one year younger brother. He was a calm and reasonable boy. But Edgard has a difficult character, he constantly got it from his parents for his eccentric antics and ebullient energy, which was in full swing and did not always find the right way out.
And if the mother sometimes turned a blind eye to her son’s tricks, then the strict father got it. He controlled not only the behavior, but also the studies of his sons, checking school grades right up to the graduation class. Even at the institute, he was keenly interested in the progress of Askold and Edgard.
Edgard Zapashny received higher education. He has a diploma from the Moscow Institute of Entrepreneurship and Law. He speaks English and Chinese.
Career
The circus biography of Edgard Zapashny began in 1988, when he was 12 years old. This happened in Riga, where my father went on tour.
After graduating from school, the family went to China. These were difficult years, which are usually called the “dashing 90s”. The whole country was experiencing a crisis. Artists and circus performers were no exception. In 1991, the Chinese offered Walter Zapashny a lucrative contract, which literally saved the lives of circus animals. After all, caring for them required a lot of money.
So Edgard Zapashny and his family went to a strange, amazing country, which greeted the whole family and their charges quite warmly. A spacious summer circus was built especially for the Zapashnys in the famous Safari Park near the city of Shenzhen. To differentiate themselves from the Chinese, the brothers changed their hair color and became blonde.
After the end of the contract, the entire family returned to their homeland. On tour they traveled all over the former Soviet Union. We visited Japan, Mongolia, Hungary.
And in 1998, a turning point occurred in the life of Edgard Zapashny and his brother: at the anniversary celebration, the father handed over to his sons the reins of the most striking and complex attraction called “Among the Predators.”
The young trainers were able to accept this gift with dignity and successfully developed the family business. They created the Zapashny Brothers Circus and increased their show programs. New circus attractions have appeared: “Colosseum”, “Camelot”, “Sadko”, “Camelot-2: Viceroy of the Gods”, “Legend”, “K.U.K.L.A.”, “Terrible Force” and others.
Edgard has a circus act that is unique in its complexity and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. This is a trick during which Zapashny stands with his loose legs on the croup of two horses moving in the arena, and two girls balance on his back. This issue was prepared for a year and a half.
In November 2012, Edgard Zapashny was appointed director of the famous Big Moscow State Circus, on Vernadsky Avenue, by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.
There were also dark streaks in the trainer's work. One day, his brother came out of the tigress’s cage with a bloody face, having received a strong blow from the animal’s paw. And more than once he had to encounter tragedies that happened to his closest colleagues, because work in the circus is one of the most dangerous. An example of this was not only my brother, but also my mother and father, who were repeatedly seriously injured in the arena. Unfortunately, Edgard himself was not spared from serious injuries.
In 2006, during a stunt on a horse, Zapashny landed unsuccessfully on the arena and tore ligaments in his leg. As the circus performer himself says, at that moment he did not even feel pain, he only heard a sound as if a string had broken. Long-term treatment in Germany was required; the man had to undergo several operations to restore his health.
And this is far from the artist’s only injury. In 2017, in a German clinic, he underwent spinal surgery - he had a replacement intervertebral disc V cervical spine to artificial. This operation was planned, but due to his busy schedule he kept putting it off.
And in 2010, he and his brother were in a terrible accident, and although the car could not be restored, the guys remained safe and sound.

In the fall of 2016, during the elections to the State Duma, he became a confidant of the United Russia party.
Personal life
According to the artist, he managed to “accustom” journalists to the fact that he is not one of the media persons who provide rich food for yellow publications. Therefore, the personal life of Edgard Zapashny was in the shadows for a long time, no one knew anything about it except a dozen of his closest friends. But no one doubted that the handsome handsome man (his height is 189 cm and weight is 95 kg) female attention not deprived.
In 2008, the artist gave frank interview magazine “7 days”, where he spoke about his first woman. He was 16 when he moved from theory to practice. But his chosen one was 36. She worked in the Novosibirsk circus, where Edgard came for a month. He admits that there was a mind-blowing passion between them. But love did not work out, the difference of 20 years and the artist’s youth had an impact.
For 13 years, the trainer lived in a civil marriage with his circus artist Elena Petrikova. But the couple’s life together did not end in legal marriage. According to Edgard, Lena realized that her other half’s “youth” would never end, which means she wouldn’t be able to have a strong family with him.
It seemed to Zapashny that he met his love in Voronezh. He liked Olga, a red-haired beauty with a beautiful figure, immediately when he saw her. This happened in one of the Voronezh fitness centers. Olga Denisova – fitness instructor. A romance broke out. It continued when the girl moved to the capital. The move to Moscow was connected with her career.
Olga gave birth to Edgard’s daughter Stefania in 2011. But the couple never became an official family. This did not happen 2 years later, when the second daughter Gloria was born.
Nevertheless, Edgard Zapashny is a wonderful dad. He takes an active part in the life and upbringing of the girls, gave them his last name and took on financial expenses. After each tour, he rushes to his beloved daughters and tries to give them maximum parental warmth.
Further, the personal life of Edgard Zapashny seems to be developing in its own way. Soon he admitted that he had a girlfriend. He hid her for a long time, but when the news leaked onto the Internet that the trainer was preparing to become a father for the third time, he revealed the name of his chosen one. She became Yaroslavna Demeshko. They met in 2013 in the company of mutual friends. They talked a lot, and soon decided to move in together. To be closer to Edgard, Yaroslavna even got a job at the Zapashny Brothers Circus as an administrator.
In August 2017, the couple had a son, who was named Daniel. True, the boy was born several weeks premature, and he had to be placed in the intensive care unit in a special box. But, fortunately, everything worked out. Today, photos of his children regularly appear on the artist’s Instagram. But the microblog on Twitter has not been updated with new entries since 2015.
The trainer's fans are all waiting for news about the wedding, but for now Yaroslavna remains in the status of Edgard's common-law wife.
Edgard Zapashny now
On April 1, 2017, information appeared on the website of the Great Moscow Circus that Edgard fired his brother from the circus. Allegedly, Askold himself wished to leave the post of artistic director of the BSMC. This position will be filled by Honored Artist of Georgia Gia Eradze. This news was received with indignation among the masses. But by the evening of the same day, Edgard announced that it was an April Fool's joke.
But in June 2018, a serious scandal broke out around Zapashny. A video has appeared on the Internet from the training of his daughter Gloria, who is already learning the circus profession with all her might. In the video, the girl cried in pain after stretching. The man was immediately accused of child abuse, to which he did not remain silent. He published a long response to his ill-wishers, but the main quote in this speech was the phrase:
"No pain - no result...".
“I will definitely get married before I’m 40,” Edgard Zapashny, one of the most famous trainers of our time, once promised. Today he is already 42 years old, but he never made it to the registry office. For a long time Edgard and Askold Zapashny were one of the most eligible bachelors in the country. But if Askold got married a long time ago, then Edgard’s reputation as a bachelor has long been established. However, many fans do not know that he is a father of many children. Why does he value his bachelor status so much? And when will someone be able to tame the trainer and change his fate forever?
The Zapashny brothers are fourth generation circus performers. Despite the fact that their grandfather was torn to pieces by tigers, and their father ended up in intensive care three times after the performance, the brothers still decided to continue the dynasty and work in the circus. Edgard and Askold were raised as twins, so that there were no priorities. They went to school at the same time. "We moved a lot, studied in different schools Central Asia. Of the 15 Soviet republics, we did not study only in Lithuania,” said Edgard. The brothers were about ten years old when they first entered the cage with the tigers.
After graduating from school, the Zapashnys and their family went to China, where Edgard met his first great love. The girl's name was Achin, she worked in the park and took care of the deer. The Chinese government then did not approve of relationships with foreigners, so it was not easy for lovers who lived together. “In 1996, my brother and I left China, and Achin and I had to separate. I returned there on tour in 2002 and asked to find Achin. When I introduced her to my girlfriend, I saw sadness in her eyes. It seemed to me that she still missed me,” Edgard admitted.
Zapashny met his chosen one, circus artist Elena Petrikova, at work. The girl was one of the strongest aerial gymnasts in Russia; at the time of the meeting, she had just returned from Italy from a six-month tour. “Mom then told me: “Edgard, take a closer look at her.” I took a closer look. We lived together for 13 years, after which we separated. I was the initiator of our separation from Lena. I fell in love with another girl and realized that living in this would be wrong.” , - said the artist.
After breaking up with Lena, Edgard began dating fitness instructor Olga. They met in Voronezh, where the Zapashny circus was on tour. After some time they started dating. And when they decided to leave, it turned out that Olga was pregnant. They had a daughter, Stefania. And the second daughter, Gloria, was born two years later, when Edgard and Olga no longer lived together.
Edgard met his current beloved Yaroslavna in St. Petersburg, where he flew to the last fight of Fedor Emelianenko. The girl carried signs with round numbers into the ring. For almost a year they communicated only by phone, and then they got together and began to live together. “Yaroslavna is a girl of my energy, she has an incredibly calm character. This is what I was looking for,” Edgard admitted. In 2017, the couple had a son, Daniel. According to Zapashny, they live like a real family, but are not officially married.
How did the brothers cope with the death of their father, the famous trainer Walter Zapashny? How was Edgard's second daughter born? And what is Edgard's happiness? Answers are in the program
