Media: Semyon Slepakov's wife left him because of infidelity

The media believe that the 41-year-old comedian Semyon Slepakov cheated on his wife, which led to a divorce.

The comedian and screenwriter rarely talks about his personal life. So the change in the official status was announced late. Only in May, six months after the divorce, which was first reported by the media, and not the main characters of what is happening, Semyon admitted that he was single. Moreover, he did it in a proprietary poetic form.

Only now the journalists of the Komsomolskaya Pravda publication managed to talk to a source close to the artist's entourage, who confirmed that there was treason.

Once, people turned to private detectives with an order to take Slepakov into the study. It was suspected that he was cheating on the oligarch's daughter. There was every reason to be suspicious: the press was full of headlines about Slepakov's affair with Khodchenkova. And this reputation of the son-in-law, apparently, did not really please the father-in-law. As I was told, the evidence of infidelity was collected: both the video and everything that is necessary. As I understand it, Avanesyan spoke to his daughter more than once, saying that he was cheating on you, but she did not believe him. However, when the evidence was in hand, Karina had no choice but to file for divorce. It seemed to me that my father-in-law was ready to pay extra to his son-in-law, if only he would release Karina. They did not part as enemies. The property remained with Karina. And everyone has their own personal life. Everything is fine.

- the person who wished to remain anonymous shared.

Recall that the comedian met Karina Avanesyan, now his ex-wife, at one of the social parties in early 2012. In the same year, the couple tied the knot officially. The media learned that Karina is the daughter of a millionaire and businessman associated with the oil trade, the owner of the bank "Ak Bars" Igor Avanesyan. According to Forbes magazine, he is among the top richest Russians with an income of $ 360 million. Being married, Slepakov also became a hero of Forbes magazine, getting into the ranking of the highest-paid stars with $ 3.5 million in annual income.

However, the star's entourage does not believe that it was a marriage of convenience. Relatives noted that the lovers were truly happy together for seven years of marriage.

Only in 2019, rumors began to spread about the humorist's affair with actress Svetlana Khodchenkova. The artists got close during the filming of the TV series "House Arrest", the author of which is Semyon and where Svetlana played one of the main roles.

In September 2019, Khodchenkova appeared in a pair with Slepakov at the GQ "Person of the Year"ceremony. Although Svetlana publicly denied the rumors of an affair, the excited public continued to whisper. Semyon still does not allow journalists into his personal life and reports on changes in it post-factum. The public can only guess how things really are.
