Personal life

Marina was in official relationships several times. Her first husband was Andrei Lugovtsov. The wedding took place in Bali in 2008. A year later, they had a daughter, whom they decided to name Sasha. Only 3 years later the couple broke up.

In 2011, it became known about Marina’s divorce. She shared her experiences in the “Women’s View” project. She noted that she does not plan to give up after a bad experience. She puts family and children first, and is also ready to make efforts to develop herself creatively.

Fans were worried that she might have anorexia, but Marina brought herself to health good view by increasing sports loads. She became interested in boxing. Her hobby is also horse riding. The singer regularly devotes time to these activities.

Russian singer MakSim has 15 Golden Gramophone statuettes, but is known not only in Russia. Twice she became the winner of the Russian Music Award. And although she is still far in age from Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, MakSim was already in 2011 able to enter the rating of “One Hundred Most influential women Russia”, according to data compiled by the radio station “Echo of Moscow”.

This fame awakens interest in the singer's real name. So what is MakSim's real name? If you pronounce this pseudonym, you get the name Maxim, which in Russia is considered exclusively masculine. And only in France can you find this name as a female name. So why did this performer take such an unusual stage name?

Let's start with the roots. The future singer was born in Kazan, her parents named her Marina Sergeevna Abrosimova. The girl, as expected, received her father's surname. But the mother’s last name was Maksimova. So let's continue. Starting your singing career, Marina Sergeevna took a pseudonym for herself, which was written as “Maxi-M” and was pronounced “Maxim” accordingly.

Now the singer emphasizes that the emphasis of her pseudonym MakSim is on “and,” although initially it could be read differently. “Maxi-M” is equal to MakSim, it all depends on the pronunciation and stress placement. It is possible that “M” meant the initial letter of the name Marin, and “maxi” means “great,” the desire to achieve something big, to do something grandiose. Accordingly, the reading of the pseudonyms Maxi-M and MakSim is identical to the meaning of the Roman male name absolutely consonant with pseudonyms - the name Maxim (translated as “biggest”, “greatest”).

In fact, there is a possibility that MakSim is a return to his roots, because his mother’s last name was Maksimova. And among creative people quite common when famous people start their creative career from the fact that they take their mother’s surname as their pseudonym, as they did in their time famous actor Andrey Mironov, for example.

Although, according to the singer herself, such a pseudonym appeared thanks to the nickname that she was given in childhood. She was nicknamed Maxim because she spent a lot of time in the company of her older brother.

Marina loves her family for everything and despite the lack of time, she constantly visits them.
The MakSim family lives in Kazan. Parents work, and brother Maxim lives with his family and child. But let's talk about everything in order...

Mom: Svetlana Viktorovna

Marina's mother is raising children in kindergarten, where Marina and her brother Maxim previously spent their childhood. Marina loves her mother with all her heart and thanks her for teaching her to always be herself. However, in adolescence Marina, like all other girls her age, had disagreements with her mother, but the mischievous Marina always won, and if she didn’t, she did it out of spite. For example, as Svetlana says, her daughter got her tattoo out of spite. “At first, her brother did the tattoo and we talked with him quite a bit about this topic, scolding him for what he had done. Marina immediately stood up for her brother, and the next day she had a tattoo of this cat on her arm,” says Marina’s mother. Svetlana Viktorovna always worried that Marina did not have Serious relationships and novels. And in general, according to Svetlana, Marina is not an amorous person. By the way, as for MakSim’s career, the singer’s mother always wanted Marina to become a lawyer.

Father: Sergey Orefyevich

Marina's father works as a car mechanic and has been a member of the happy marriage. If we talk about character, then we can safely say that MakSim father's daughter, because Marina’s character is very similar to her dad’s character. Sergei says that his wife Svetlana always wanted their daughter Marina to be feminine, but her father did not worry about this and believed that growing up like a boy was not at all bad. His son and Marina’s brother, Maxim, could climb a rope anywhere at the age of three. Marina was the same. “I couldn’t sit still. And her hobbies weren’t girly,” says Sergei.

And father MakSim always protected his daughter and never doubted that Marina would achieve a lot in the future!

Brother: Maxim Sergeevich

As a child, Marina followed her brother Maxim like an attachment, and his friends simply called her Max. Maxim always loved and supported his sister, despite the fact that in childhood they often quarreled and did not get along with each other. When Marina was still very little, Maxim always took her to karate lessons, and then picked her up and walked her home. Marina almost always hung out on the street only with her brother. She talked with his friends and sang songs with them on the street with a guitar. But unlike his always cheerful and active sister, Maxim is calmer in character. On this moment Maxim lives with his wife and child, but never forgets about his younger sister. For example, when Marina won one of her awards, Maxim called her before anyone else and heartily congratulated his beloved sister on her victory.
