A quarter of a century of marriage and a sad outcome
The first rumors about a romance between Bondarchuk and Andreeva appeared back in 2015. However, none of the journalists, as well as the fans, were able to find any facts confirming such statements. The situation changed a year later, when the actor and director appeared on the red carpet of the Kinotavr film festival not with his wife, Svetlana Rudskaya, but with Paulina. This did not go unnoticed and caused a wave of discontent from the press and fans.

Fyodor Bondarchuk and Paulina Andreeva
The main reason for the attacks was the fact that at that time Fyodor had been married to Svetlana for 25 years. They not only had children, Sergei and Varvara, but also grandchildren from their son. Against this background, Andreeva acted as a homewrecker who led the famous couple to discord.
However, Bondarchuk rejects such conclusions. According to the director, problems in family relationships with Rudskaya appeared long before he met his new passion. The urgent crisis in the family found a way out not only in the cooling of relations, but also in adultery, which both husband and wife committed. Therefore, meeting Paulina was not the reason for the breakup, but only acted as a catalyst in the desire to finally cut the Gordian knot of accumulated family problems.
Subsequently, Svetlana confirmed the words of her ex-husband, saying that there was no point in blaming Andreeva for what happened. At the time the young actress met Fedor, the couple were no longer actually living together - divorce seemed like a natural outcome of the development of the situation.
Svetlana Bondarchuk
Model and TV presenter Svetlana was married to Fedor for 25 years. The couple broke up without scandals or accusations.
They remained on friendly terms. The future spouses met in early youth, when the girl was only 16 years old.
The young people immediately drew attention to each other and fell in love. They have two children together. By the way, the family often gets together, including with Bondarchuk himself.
Their acquaintance happened in absentia
The acquaintance of Paulina and Fyodor happened in a rather unusual way - in absentia. The popular director admits that he first saw his new lover on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov, in the play “Number 13D”, which was staged by Vladimir Mashkov. The man admits that he really liked the girl’s young and slender body, which she demonstrated throughout almost the entire performance, posing in her underwear.
Another popular actor and part-time friend of Bondarchuk, Igor Vernik, took part in the same production. It was his impressed Fedor who asked to arrange an acquaintance with the stunning Paulina. None of them talk about exactly how the first meeting between the director and actress took place, because at that time the director was actually in a relationship with Svetlana, his wife.

Recently there were reports that 48-year-old Fyodor Bondarchuk, having announced a divorce from his wife Svetlana, had already planned a wedding with his new chosen one. She became 27-year-old actress Paulina Andreeva (star of the TV series “The Thaw” and “Method”). Because of her, he dared to divorce his wife after 25 years of marriage.
Komsomolskaya Pravda found out interesting details.
Said: "She's gorgeous"
Bondarchuk saw the young actress Paulina Andreeva at the theater, where his friends invited him. And then he admitted that she made a stunning impression on him. “I saw absolute beauty on the stage of a conservative theater. Paulina is gorgeous! Wow!"
“Bondarchuk attended performances with Paulina’s participation several times,” employees of the Moscow Art Theater told us. Chekhov, where the actress plays. “He himself approached Andreeva, wanting to get to know each other better. It’s hard to resist him, even for such a beauty.
In the party they said that Bondarchuk, captivated by the beauty of the girl, said: “She will be mine!”
The heroes themselves - Bondarchuk and Paulina - have so far refrained from commenting on their relationship.
“Andreeva knows her worth,” Mosfilm casting director Marina Ievleva told KP. — When she was not yet famous, she came to castings like a prima: she held her head high. I mentally called her a shark. It was clear that she understood that she was good. I wasn't afraid of failure. I know that both directors and artists tried to court her, but she kept her distance. She said that she was in no hurry to get married - she was waiting for her fate. Everything is serious with Bondarchuk. Of course, he is a winning match for her - he is both a director and a producer, and he is not poor...

There will be no wedding
Relatives of Bondarchuk and Andreeva ask not to rush things: they say that nothing has been decided about the couple’s marriage yet.
— Did Fyodor invite you to the wedding? — KP asked Fyodor Bondarchuk’s mother, actress Irina Skobtseva.
“I don’t know anything about this and I don’t give interviews,” she cut off.
- Fyodor Bondarchuk will not marry! He didn’t make any statements about the wedding,” said Fedora’s daughter-in-law (wife of his son Sergei) Tatiana Bondarchuk. - Only about his divorce.
- Is there an affair between him and Paulina?
- Can not say. If Fedor Sergeevich wants, he will make a statement himself.
“She would have told me if she were going to get married,” assures Paulina’s younger brother Oleg. “And our parents don’t know.” There are no weddings planned yet.
- But did you see her together with Bondarchuk?
- No... But I don’t see my sister often, I live in St. Petersburg, and she lives in Moscow. There are three children in our family: Paulina, me and my brother. My brother is now also studying to become an artist. She gives him professional advice.
- Who came up with such a rare name for her?
- Mother. Not in honor of anyone - just.
— In one performance, Paulina is on stage in underwear, in one of the films she is completely naked, and even in intimate scenes. Didn't her parents blame her?
- No, this is work. She's not shy.
In the film "Locust" Paulina's partner was Pyotr Fedorov.

Sexy beauty
This actress with an exotic name was born in St. Petersburg into a family of businessmen. At the insistence of her parents, she entered the local journalism department. But after studying for two years, she quit and went to Moscow. After graduating from the Moscow Art Theater School, she began to make her way.
One of her first major film works was the erotic film “Locust” (released in 2015).
“Her friend, actor Grigory Dobrygin, advised us to cast Paulina in the film,” says “Locust” director Yegor Baranov. “He invited producer Alexander Tsekalo to pay attention to her. He went to the theater to see her play, and we invited Andreeva to the casting.
— Did Paulina captivate you with her ideal figure?
“This is an important factor, considering that we were going to shoot a film with erotic scenes. But it was important that some kind of spark arise between the heroes. It was in the tandem of Paulina Andreeva and Petr Fedorov that she appeared.
— Was it difficult to film the sex scenes?
- Not easy. We showed lovemaking as a dialogue. To make Paulina and Peter comfortable, they rehearsed first in clothes, then naked. We kept a minimum number of people on set and always gave the actors enough time to set up.
— Did Paulina have affairs on the set?
- No. Only friendly relations.
Didn't like the role of a mistress
The affair between Bondarchuk and Paulina Andreeva, according to the crowd, began last fall. The famous director looked happy and seemed to be flying on wings. As his friends say, if it weren’t for Paulina’s tough character, Bondarchuk would have been quite happy with a secret affair with her.
“But Paulina is not the kind of girl who will be content with little,” their mutual friend told KP. - Bondarchuk gave her a diamond set - good. She moved to live with him in one of his apartments - good. Any young actress would dream of being in her place. But Paulina is one of those ladies who makes it clear: I won’t settle for anything less. She is not satisfied with the position of her mistress; she wants the maximum from Bondarchuk. And the status of a legal wife as well. They say that it was she who pushed the director to make radical changes. Not wanting to lose his beloved, he went for a divorce.
Relatives gave an ultimatum
Svetlana and Fedor have two children - a 25-year-old son, Sergei, and a 16-year-old daughter, Varvara.
“I met with the son of Fyodor Bondarchuk, Sergei,” his friend told KP. “He is terribly worried about his parents’ breakup. And I thought that the Bondarchuks separated peacefully, but this is not entirely true... The situation is difficult. The father lives with his new lover. But when he told his family that he was going to legalize his relationship with Paulina, the children were indignant. In fact, they gave him an ultimatum: if you marry her now, then live with another family, give birth to new children and new grandchildren (Bondarchuk has two granddaughters - Sergei’s daughters), and we will somehow do without you... Fedor did not expect this. Son Seryozha is a gentle person, non-conflicting, and never contradicted his father. And then he said: if their feelings with their mother have faded, that’s one thing. But to marry someone almost the same age as Sergei - well, no!
Fyodor's relatives are sure: blind passion speaks in him. And they hope that in six months the director will come to his senses. The only woman who always truly and devotedly loved him was his wife Svetlana.
“By the way, he hasn’t officially filed for divorce yet,” continues Sergei Bondarchuk’s friend. — As for the wedding with Paulina, Fyodor canceled it. Although it was really planned!
Svetlana Bondarchuk tries not to show that she is suffering. She went with her friend Olga Slutsker to the Maldives: they say that everything is fine with her. But this is bravado - that’s what family friends think.
Paulina seems to be worried about the position of Bondarchuk’s relatives. In the theater lately she has been seen tense and nervous.
AND AT THIS TIME
"Fedor is gloomy"
“The other day we were gathering as a group at his Moscow restaurant “Zolotoy” (it belongs to Fedor),” one of Bondarchuk’s business partners told KP. “Someone asked with a laugh: when are we going to go to your wedding?” But Fyodor, usually cheerful, reacted sharply. He said: “There’s no question of a wedding, where did they come from?” Suggested changing the subject...
Fyodor looked completely different from what a happy lover should look like. Gloomy and terribly upset. All evening I picked at my plate with a fork without any appetite and didn’t really eat anything. And the reason for the bad mood is clearly not in business - things are going wrong there...
VERBATIM
“Paulina can even hit you with a turnip!”
Paulina Andreeva is a young lady of undeniable beauty,” says director of the series “Method” Yuri Bykov. — The decision to cast her in the film was made by three of us: producer Alexander Tsekalo, me and Konstantin Khabensky, who played the main role. She accommodated everyone. I got into the film in an absolutely classic way - with the help of auditions.
She understood that she was given a chance to work in an extraordinary series. She's not a stupid girl. And he is not a conceited person. This can be seen from her current filmography: she does not act in everything, she refuses almost everything that does not suit her purely dramatically.
- So the girl is serious?
— Paulina is a tough person, a core person. I don’t envy those people who get in her way. She is far from a fragile girl. Knows how to stand up for himself. Even in a physical sense. She can hit a turnip - that’s one hundred percent!
BY THE WAY
Fyodor Bondarchuk knows nothing about his own wedding
The director's relatives deny information about his upcoming marriage to actress Paulina Andreeva. And my film colleagues confirm
“I don’t know about any wedding of Fedor,” Tata Mamiashvili, Bondarchuk’s daughter-in-law, told us. — Moreover, I’m sure that Fedor himself doesn’t know about the “upcoming wedding.” However, no matter how theatrically surprised the members of the famous acting family may be, in the film community they say something completely different. “Paulina and Fedor are a couple, they have been dating for several months,” they told us in the film crew of the film “Status: Single,” in which Andreeva starred. — Rumors about their wedding did not arise out of nowhere. Moreover, it is possible that they are thinking about a child...” (details)
MEANWHILE
Psychologists: Katya Andreeva became Paulina either because of childhood complexes, or to stand out from the crowd
Komsomolskaya Pravda visited the school where the future star studied
“Paulina Andreeva? No, we don’t remember.” This same type of answer from former classmates and fellow students intrigued Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondents. Usually it’s the other way around: former acquaintances vying with each other to share memories of their school years, and are proud that they sat with such a bright personality at the next desk. But they also can’t say much about Katya Andreeva, which is the movie star’s name from birth. (details)
Paulina Andreeva: filmography
