Lolita Milyavskaya showed a noticeably matured daughter with developmental disabilities. Special children of star parents: do not lose faith and love, no matter what, Tsekalo and his daughter Eva

On April 1, 2012, Evelina Bledans gave birth to her second son, Semyon. After giving birth, the actress admitted that she knew about the illness of her unborn baby, but despite this, she and her husband, director and producer Alexander Semin wished that the baby was born.

Doctors asked to think, hinting at an abortion, but Alexander confidently stated that he did not want to hear about it.

“We will give birth in any case. Even if you now say that the child has begun to grow wings, nails, a beak and that he is a dragon in general, it means that there will be a dragon. Get away from us. We will give birth."

The birth process took place together with her husband, who tried his best to cheer Evelina up. The child was born with an extra chromosome, as well as with two fingers fused together on the left leg. However, the parents in the delivery room wept not from grief, but from happiness. And they already love him. And love, as you know, is not a test for the weak.

People today are intimidated by prejudices about down children. According to statistics, 85 percent are simply afraid of additional difficulties in raising a baby who is not like everyone else.

And only 15 percent of mothers and fathers down, endowed with the gift of love, hope and faith, take the child, and every day they perform their parental feat. Evelina and Alexander deserve great respect and admiration, because they not only accepted their son as God sent him to them, but also constantly prove to people that such children are also happiness.

Most of the mothers who were at a crossroads are grateful to Evelina and Alexander for an open conversation on an unofficially forbidden topic, which is so painful for the parents of sunny children.

Daughter of Lolita Milyavskaya

Lolita Milyavskaya did not abandon her daughter Eva when the doctors told the singer that her child was born handicapped. According to the artist, the doctors first said that the girl had Down syndrome, but later changed the diagnosis to autism - congenital psychological isolation. Lolita does not miss the opportunity to praise her daughter in every interview. But at the same time, he does not hide the fact that the child has health problems. Until the age of four, Eva could not speak, besides, she has poor eyesight.

In many interviews, Lolita said that her daughter was born at six months old, the singer was then 35 years old. The baby weighed less than one and a half kilograms, and she was nursed for a long time in a pressure chamber.

No wonder they say that motherly love works wonders. Now 16-year-old Eva goes to school and practically does not lag behind her healthy peers. And her famous mother always supports other mothers raising children with genetic characteristics.

Daughter of Fedor and Svetlana Bondarchuk

In 2001, the wife of Fyodor Bondarchuk gave birth to a girl. The baby was born prematurely, and the doctors fought for her life for a long time, after which the girl began to have developmental problems. Varya - " sunny baby”, is commonly referred to as children born with Down syndrome. They live in their own special world and smile much more often than their healthy peers. In the Bondarchuk family, the word “disease” is not pronounced - the spouses simply call Varya special.

Disease youngest daughter Barbarians not only did not destroy, but, on the contrary, strengthened the union of Fedor and Svetlana. As a rule, in such a situation, the husband and wife stop communicating very quickly, but, fortunately, this did not happen to them.

Basically, Varya lives abroad, where she can receive the treatment she needs and a decent education. Svetlana notes that Russia, unfortunately, is not adapted for such "special" children as her daughter.

“Fantastic, funny and much loved baby! She instantly wins over everyone. It is simply impossible not to love her. She is very light. Varya, unfortunately, spends a lot of time outside of Russia; it is easier for her to study there, it is easier to undergo rehabilitation. Why, at the time of the adoption of the “Dima Yakovlev law”, did I start talking about this? Because I know about this problem firsthand. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to send her to study, to be treated, ”said Bondarchuk in an interview with the magazine.

The woman is incredibly grateful to her husband Fedor for the support he provides to her and her daughter. According to Svetlana, the birth of Barbara only rallied their couple.

There is no place for despondency or sadness in Bondarchuk’s life; a woman treats all problems philosophically: “Yes, we have a child with certain problems, but something terrible can happen to any person at any moment ... Nobody is insured. Living in misery and despondency is wrong.”

Daughter of Irina Khakamada

Irina Khakamada, talented business coach, designer, former politician and the head of the Our Choice interregional social solidarity fund, which she created in 2006 for people with disabilities of all ages, imbued with this topic after the birth of her daughter Maria in 1997, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome.

Irina is not only a strong-willed woman, whose fortitude will be envied by many male leaders, but also an amazing mother. At the age of 42, she decided to have a baby. Not only was the baby born special, but also terrible disease overtook her.

In 2004, just when Irina was running for president of the Russian Federation, no one could have thought that she was going through a terrible family tragedy. Doctors diagnosed Mashenka with leukemia. The girl underwent a course of chemotherapy. Fortunately, she overcame this disease. A few years later, Irina decided to show her daughter to people and came with her to the premiere of the blockbuster The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. This publication was not easy even for the strong-willed Khakamada. Everyone saw that her daughter suffers from Down's syndrome - and they were imbued with deep respect for this courageous and strong woman.

In an interview, Irina says that Masha loves to dance. She has artistic thinking, but the exact sciences are difficult for a girl. And everything that concerns a figurative vision of the world, drawing, dancing, singing, she succeeds.

Son of Konstantin Meladze

Producer Konstantin Meladze divorced his wife Yana in 2013 after 19 years living together, the couple left three common children - Alice, Leah and Valery. Konstantin did not immediately find out that his son suffers from a rare disease - autism. It is not easy to get used to this diagnosis, because it is impossible to fight it. For a long time, this information was hidden from the press. However, the mother of the boy Valera spoke about the fact that her son suffers from autism in the first interview after her divorce from Meladze.

“Doctors diagnosed Valera with autism. Treatment of this disease in all countries of the world is very expensive, including Ukraine. No, this is not a sentence, this is a shooting, after which you were left to live. This is a serious disease that has not yet been cured. It is being corrected. I'm talking about a severe form of autism. These kids can be trained. I think that parents who are faced with a similar problem are familiar with the feeling of fear, helplessness in the face of grief, and shame. Our society does not accept, does not recognize “others”. But when a child has the first successes, hope and faith wake up - and then a new starting point for true victories and bright pride for your child begins. And parents do not need to be ashamed, to blame themselves. Do not think that you could do something wrong. When you understand what a responsible mission you are performing in your child's life, you will realize the value or even pricelessness of your role. And most importantly: autistic disorder should be diagnosed in the first year of a child's life! Fatal mistake doctors and parents - wait up to three years. Children with whom correct correction begins before the age of one show amazing results. And in the end, they are not much different from their peers.

Valera is a completely normal child in appearance. His parents realized that he was ill when he was three years old. He looks great, but lives in some kind of his own world. He hardly communicates with people, he has no need for this. The child is like an enchanted boy who outwardly is absolutely the same as us.

Son of Anna Netrebko

In 2008, the famous Russian opera diva Anna Netrebko gave birth to her first child, whom she named Thiago. When the boy was three years old, he was diagnosed with autism. This news was like a bolt from the blue for his famous mother.

“I used to explain his silence by the fact that in our house they speak four languages, and it is difficult for the baby to adapt to this. He only spoke when he needed something. We sounded the alarm, only noticing that the son did not react when he was addressed. Then everything became clear, ”she said.

According to the celebrity, in all other respects the child seemed absolutely normal. “Thiago is very neat and self-sufficient,” the singer believes. Despite everything, the star does not lose heart and believes that the boy will overcome the terrible disease!

“He is certainly a computer genius. I don't have a computer and I don't know how to use it. And he already knows how to count, recognize numbers up to 1000 in three years. He loves the zoo very much, watching the penguins swim underwater,” proudly says star mom.

Now her seven-year-old son is studying at an integration school in New York. This is educational institution visited not only sick, but also perfectly healthy children. Doctors reassured opera diva- her child has only a mild form of autism, and if the boy is treated in a special way, deviations in his development will be practically not noticeable, which means that he will be able to study normally and communicate with other children.

“I am not afraid to say that my son is autistic. Alas, many mothers face such a problem, and I want them to be convinced by the example of Thiago that this disease is not a sentence.

Son of Sergei Belogolovtsev

The children of Sergei Belogolovtsev brought not only many happy moments to the artist and his wife, but also became a real test for both of them. When their eldest son Nikita was not even a year old, Sergei Belogolovtsev's wife Natalya Barannik became pregnant again.

Sergei's wife endured the second pregnancy very hard, and she gave birth prematurely - two younger children of Sergei Belogolovtsev were born at seven months old.

But the problem was not only this, the fact is that one of the children was born very weak - the doctors diagnosed him with four heart defects at once. The boys were named Sasha and Eugene. When little Zhenya was nine months old and it became possible to operate on him, his parents hoped to the last for a good outcome of the operation, which was successful, but the difficulties began later.

The child's heart worked very weakly, and Zhenya went into a coma, lay in bed for two whole months. During this period, he experienced clinical death, due to which the baby developed cerebral palsy.

The eldest of the twins, Sasha, developed normally, and the youngest, Zhenya, lagged far behind - he learned to speak only by the age of six. The child was on the verge of death until the age of eight, and all this time the parents did not leave him around the clock, replacing each other.

After several years of terrible torment, they had hope and joy - the treatment of their sick son began to bring results. Today, the children of Sergei Belogolovtsev, and especially Evgeny, are a great pride for their parents. He successfully graduated from a school for gifted children and entered the Institute of Theater Arts, Advertising and Show Business. Nikita graduated from the Faculty of International Journalism at MGIMO, works as a presenter on the Russia 2 and TV Center TV channels, is a sports producer and political observer on the Dozhd TV channel. Alexander Belogolovtsev is a student at MGIMO, host of the Karusel TV channel, executive producer of the MB-Group TV company.

And last year, Zhenya became a TV presenter, despite a serious illness. On March 17, 2014, the proud father shared this news on his social network page: “Zhenya Belogolovtsev recorded pilot broadcasts as the host of the heading in the “Various News” program on the wonderful RazTV channel.”

“A week ago, my parents told me that I could become a TV presenter,” says 25-year-old Belogolovtsev Jr. - We dream that I work in my specialty, because after graduation theater institute I am probably the first professional actor diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I want guys like me to believe in themselves.”

Grandson of Boris Yeltsin

A child with Down syndrome grows up in the family of the first president Russian Federation— Boris Yeltsin. The boy was born in 1995 in the second marriage of his daughter Tatyana Yumasheva. The family hid the illness of the boy, who was named Gleb, for a long time. Even in family photographs it was impossible to see his face.

However, the day came when Tatyana broke the silence and told the whole truth in her microblog. The woman informed the press that Gleb was studying at specialized school. Home to him come tutors. The boy loves swimming and chess.

“He remembers hundreds of classical musical works– Bach, Mozart, Beethoven… The chess coach is amazed at how extraordinary he thinks. Glebushka also swims amazingly in all styles, - writes Tatyana. - It is believed that Down syndrome is a disease. But, in my opinion, children with Down syndrome are just different. They care about what we easily pass by without noticing.

Tatyana Yumasheva, CEO of the Boris Yeltsin Foundation, in 2006 funded the creation of some educational methods for children with DS. And he is proud of his son, who, as they say, looks like Harry Potter in many ways.

Son of actress Iya Savvina

The only heir of Iya Savvina, son Sergei, was once awarded a solo exhibition. And it was an incredible achievement for him. After all, the boy was born with a terrible diagnosis of Down syndrome, which sounds like a sentence in our country.

Nevertheless, his unusual, talented paintings destroyed the stereotypes of perception of people suffering from Down syndrome. Despite a serious illness, Sergei received a good education at home: he studied English language, excellently plays the piano, knows poetry and painting well. And he picked up a brush and paints as an adult.

Savvina learned about the diagnosis of her long-awaited son back in the maternity hospital. She was offered to place a sick child in a special boarding school. But she categorically refused. Savvina accepted her boy, unlike other boys, the way he was given to her from above. I studied with him, developed his abilities in every possible way, hired teachers. What other children take months to master, he mastered over the years. But the results later surprised prominent physicians. And those of them who once assured her of the futility of such activities admitted their mistake.

Iya managed to look after her son, play in films and in the theater, creating unforgettable images of selfless women.

Today Sergey Shestakov is 56. Although he, in fact, remained big baby, nevertheless, amazes everyone with his many talents. Plays the piano, recites poetry. Well, drawing, of course. But until now he still cannot realize that his beloved mother will never look at him with pride and love: actress Iya Savvina passed away on August 27, 2011 ...

Son of Sylvester Stallone

The statistics in the West are relentless: autism affects one in 88 children, Down syndrome affects every 700th. Many star families encountered developmental disorders in their own children, but did not give up and, moreover, contributed huge contribution in the study of these complex diseases.

Sergio, the youngest son of Sylvester Stallone, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. For the actor, this news was a real blow.

Little Sergio had difficulty adapting to the world around him: he could not even establish contact with his relatives, not to mention the rest of those around him. The bitter irony is that in childhood, Stallone himself was almost written down as autistic, but he turned out to be healthy. Sergio did not cause serious concerns - and turned out to be sick.

In the first moments, she and Sasha were depressed, devastated and confused. But then the understanding returned that action is always better than inaction, and the parents - in the best traditions of Rocky - decided to fight.

“I understood that Sly would not be able to pay enough attention to this because of his work. And then I told him: give me the funds, and I will take care of everything,” says Sasha Zak.

And so it happened: Stallone worked with such dedication as never before, and his wife devoted herself to the fight for her son. With Stallone's money, Sasha achieved the creation and opening of an autism research foundation.

However, very soon life made it clear that the seemingly ideal combination of talent, experience and desire to work does not always guarantee a successful result.

During the filming of the fourth "Rocky" the actor had a heart attack. Right from the set, he was taken to the hospital, where he spent several weeks.

exhausting, in literally Stallone's work "for wear and tear" and the no less difficult struggle waged by Sasha Zak divorced the spouses different worlds. A ten-year marriage, which has already survived one break, has exhausted itself: Sylvester and Sasha talked about everything and signed divorce papers.

Now Sergio Stallone is 35 years old. He is not public person, does not maintain contacts with journalists, does not attend social events, but lives calmly and quietly. His father helps him with medical care and visits him regularly. After the eldest son of Sylvester, Sage, died of a heart attack in 2012, the actor treats Sergio even more reverently.

“Yes, the son is always in his own world,” Stallone says, “and he never leaves. I have enough money, but for so many years I have not been able to help him with anything. Nevertheless, the thought of abandoning my son did not even occur to me - even in my youth, when I was so busy with my career.

Son of Jenny McCarthy

In September 1999, Jennie married actor and director John Asher. In May 2002, she gave birth to a son, Evan. Everything seemed to be going well in her life. And suddenly, in August 2005, McCarthy and Usher divorced. The press talked about the mutual betrayals of the spouses, that Jenny prefers to share a bed with women.

It turned out that her little son suffers from autism. John did not have the patience, the strength to raise a sick child. The doctors said it didn't exist effective methods autism treatments, but Jenny refused to believe them.

cheerful, bright blonde never hid the diagnosis of her son Evan. Jenny did not fall into panic and despair, preferring to remain optimistic even in such a difficult time for her.

Having learned about the diagnosis of her son, the star, gathering all her will into a fist, began the fight against the terrible illness of her child. McCarthy gave all her strength, time to Evan. And mother's love won! The boy's condition began to improve.

“Evan couldn't talk, couldn't make eye contact, was anti-social. And now he's making friends! It was amazing to see how certain therapies worked well for some kids but didn't work at all for others."

McCarthy does a lot of work with Evan, and thanks to this, he attends a regular general education school. In order to help other parents of children diagnosed with autism, she founded charitable organization Generation Rescue. In addition, the actress published the book Louder Than Words, in which she talked about how she managed to cure her son.

Son of Dan Marino

American football player Dan Marino and his wife opened a center for children with autism spectrum disorders at a Miami hospital.

Their son Michael was diagnosed at age two. Like other parents, Dan and his wife took the boy to the doctor after noticing abnormalities and developmental delays. Now Michael is 27 years old. Thanks to the successful intensive care in early age Currently, the young man lives an almost full life.

Son of Toni Braxton

In October 2006, American singer Toni Braxton burst into tears at a concert at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, speaking from the stage that her younger son Diesel has autism, and also stating that if the diagnosis had been made sooner, the boy could have been given much more help.

“Early diagnosis makes a difference for a lifetime… As a mother, I knew that something was wrong with my baby, even when he was about 9 months old. By the time he was one and a half years old, I said: “He is developing differently than his older brother,” Tony recalls.

Currently, the artist is actively funding research in the field of autism and is a spokesperson for Autism Speaks. And for the 12-year-old Diesel, one can only rejoice: the boy was included in common system education, and now he goes to school with ordinary children.

There are battles that can neither be won nor finished; You have to fight constantly, day after day. They exhaust everyone equally: and ordinary person and a Hollywood star. But also in these global battles there are small but very important victories.

Infrequently talks about his daughter and shows her to his fans. The more joyfully the fans received the video that the star posted on her microblog.

The daughter of Lolita Milyavskaya has become quite an adult

Yes, Eva Tsekalo will turn 20 years old in 2018! Funny video star mom posted on her Instagram.

(Orff. and Paragraph. Author saved, approx. Ed.) - fans write.

Lolita Milyavskaya personal life

Lolita's daughter Eva Tsekalo is really very similar to her famous mother - both in appearance, and artistry, and habits. The girl was born in 1998 and bears the name of the showman Alexander Tsekalo, while not being his biological daughter.

Rumor has it that even the marriage of Milyavskaya and Tsekalo was concluded only with the aim of registering a girl with whom Lolilita became pregnant from an unknown man. And even if this is the case in reality, it cannot be said that the ex-participants of the cabaret duet "Academy" did not have love for each other and good relationship - family life Celebrity lasted as long as 12 years and disbanded in 2000.

Now Lolita Milyavskaya is married for the fifth time. Her husband is tennis player Dmitry Ivanov, who is the seventh racket of Russia in the game of squash. The difference between the spouses is 12 years, but the couple is happy together!

Lolita's daughter Eva does not live with her mother and stepfather - the girl was raised by her grandmother, who now lives in Kyiv. famous mom and daughter see each other occasionally during school holidays and breaks between Lolita's tours.

Many condemn Milyavskaya for the fact that Eva's childhood passed without a mother, but the singer has nothing to be ashamed of - she has worked all these years so that her mother and daughter live in abundance. Lolita is not at all shy about talking about her past. For example, she recently recounted in an interview in the past and a stay in a psychiatric clinic.

She was always frank with her fans and spoke honestly about her personal relationships with men in interviews. Recall that Lolita was married to Alexander Tsekalo - from him she gave birth special daughter Eve. Despite the fact that the girl's father does not take any part in her life, Milyavskaya does not hold a grudge against him and speaks rather positively about her ex-wife.

Note that Milyavskaya was married five times, but perhaps Lolita's most famous marriage was with Tsekalo.

“When I met Tsekalo, he was married, and I was married. Yes, we committed adultery, I confess. Well, who didn’t? It all resulted in 12 years of a wonderful studio. I am grateful to him for a lot,” admits Lolita.

Their marriages were bursting at the seams, everyone knew that they were together - their romance was discussed even at a party meeting. Tsekalo divorced his wife, and Milyavskaya's husband even lived with him for some time. ex-wife and her new lover.

“Sasha acted like a normal man. The three of us huddled together in the same apartment, Belyaev couldn’t just pick me up and put me out, we had normal relations,” recalls Lolita.

"This is only husband from which I took my last name. We made a fictitious marriage and separated a year later. We are still friends with Vitaly and his wife - she is my closest friend," says Lolita.

Milyavskaya notes that the divorce from Tsekalo and the collapse of their creative duet was very painful for her. “I was 37 years old, what was to be done next? Yes, and the breakup of a creative duet is much harder than just the separation of a man and a woman,” says the singer.

After a difficult breakup, Milyavskaya soon ended up in a psychiatric clinic - she had anemia and fainting every three hours.

"I am grateful to my then lover Arnold Spivakovsky. I was not married. But there were relationships. It was he who took me in his arms to a psychiatric hospital and saved my life," Milyavskaya shares.

She still communicates with Arnold and his current spouse. Now Lolita has been happy in a relationship with her young husband Dmitry for eight years.

The singer has an only daughter, Eva, who most time lives in Kyiv with his grandmother. Lolita deliberately left her daughter with her mother, because she did not want to injure the child once again with constant moving. The Network has repeatedly written that Eva has autism. According to Lolita, her daughter is very shy and long time could not stand up for herself at all, but there can be no talk of any autism.

“Eva was born a little over a kilogram - she was premature. It’s nothing, it happens. Everyone writes on the Internet that her daughter has autism. Yes, we had developmental delays, my eyesight is worse, hyper-shyness. She could have been offended at school - finally now she has started to snap. She can stand up for herself, she is starting to get used to it. She does not have any disabilities, there is no autism, "says Lolitai

Lolita Milyavskaya admires her daughter in every interview.

Singer Lolita Milyavskaya is very worried about her daughter Eva, who has been diagnosed with autism since childhood. The daughter of Lolita Milyavskaya Eva was born prematurely - in the fifth month of pregnancy, with a weight of 1 kg 200 grams.

The fact is that premature babies have a tendency to various deviations Without even looking at my daughter, the freak doctor said: “Your child is not normal, he is a down! " added Lolita. If this were the case, believe me, I would say so ... But she doesn’t have Down syndrome - it turned out when she was tested for diapers. We were given a different diagnosis - autism, ”Milyavskaya noted.

Lolita enthusiastically celebrates her every success: she learned to read, recites poetry with expression, sings jazz improvisations. Milyavskaya had a daughter in adulthood - after 35. The singer said that childbirth began in the sixth month of pregnancy. Lolita had to raise the child alone. Alexander Tsekalo, the then husband of the singer, immediately after the birth of Eva filed for divorce. But later she suddenly declared: Tsekalo has nothing to do with her daughter.

At first, Lolita often reproached Alexander for cowardice.

True, Milyavskaya believes that their divorce was influenced not only by the child, but by fame and money. Who did not give up and did not consider their child to be defective (according to statistics, there is one child with DM per 700 births, and in 90% parents refuse newborns). The fact that something was wrong with the baby, the doctors understood immediately. At first they thought that she had Down syndrome (only much later, Eva was given correct diagnosis: autism).

Lolita Milyavskaya has a special child...

They offered to leave Eva until she got used to her. Lolita found other doctors who diagnosed a completely different diagnosis - autism (isolation, psychological illness). Eva, though lagging behind in development, but it has become almost invisible.

In that difficult period Andrey Petrukhin, a world-famous professor, a pediatric neurologist and a member of the Royal Medical Society of Great Britain, helped me. But, alas, Eva lagged behind her peers in development, shunned them, grew up closed and shy.

He picked up Evka, who at that time was about a year old, threw her up several times, then put her back in the crib and said: “Mom, sleep well, everything is fine with your child.” Lolita's mother, Alla Dmitrievna, constantly studied with the girl, read aloud, took her to music and drawing classes.

Among those who proved that SD is not the end of the world at all: politician Irina Khakamada, singer Lolita Milyavskaya and others.

Irina Khakamada, 59 years old

This is Irina Khakamada today successful woman, a promising politician and aspiring designer, whose stamina and courage can only be envied.

The woman, according to her confession, was on the verge of life and death, she wanted to leave politics in order to devote herself entirely to raising her daughter. Khakamada almost resigned herself to her daughter's illness, but fate gave her the next blow - when Masha was six years old, the doctors again put the girl terrible diagnosis- this time "leukemia".
