He and his wife Evgenia Shamaeva took part in the "Actually" program. Both announced their breakup back in September, but fans of the couple hoped the situation could improve. To find out the relationship, Stepan and Eugene went to Channel One.

An insider told Starhit that shortly before filming Menshchikov and his youngest son Ivan underwent a DNA test. The results of the examination shocked everyone: Stepan is not the boy's biological father.

He thought that he would make money on the transfer, but here it is, - said the source.

The artist stated that the divorce would not deprive him of his care for children. He continues to share family photos.

Of course, I will help Zhenya financially, but now it is not easy for me to cope with expenses. I told my wife: "What are you doing - two small children, who needs you? Now is a crisis time - and I feel tight as an artist, I still need to feed the children. Who will support them, you." She did not listen to me, she had long been trying to leave. I was just a pass to Moscow for her, - said Stepan.

Stepan Menshchikov and Evgenia Shamaeva: Latest news

Today Evgenia lives with her children in a one-room apartment. She stated that it took a long time to choose suitable housing, but was able to find property in a good area and at an affordable price. The woman initiated the separation. According to her, Stepan was an unfaithful husband.

Evgenia Shamaeva and Stepan Menshchikov officially formalized their relationship in 2016. The couple's first child was born in 2013. Ivan was born in December 2016. Fans hope that both can keep the family together.

The showman feels guilty for not asking Evgenia's permission before taking DNA samples from children. Nevertheless, he is glad that he learned the truth about the birth of his son, albeit four years later. In the program "Actually" with Dmitry Shepelev, Stepan Menshchikov turned to his wife.

Stepan and Evgenia Menshchikov

At the beginning of the week, one of the most discussed topics was the scandal with the paternity of Stepan Menshchikov. During the recording of the program "Actually" for Channel One, it became known that little Vanechka, who became the first child of the showman and his wife, is not a man's family. The former DOM-2 participant and his heirs, a four-year-old son and a nine-month-old daughter, underwent a DNA test. True, as it turned out, Evgeny Menshchikova did not know about her husband's intention. Therefore, Stepan wrote down an appeal to her, in which he admitted his guilt.

“Zhenya, you will see these shots after the shooting is over. I want to apologize in advance for taking DNA from my children without your permission, ”Stepan said.

Directly in the studio, the Menshchikovs had to answer a number of unpleasant questions regarding marital fidelity. It turned out that both regularly cheated on each other when they were married. Stepan said that he and Zhenya initially had agreements on free relations, and all these conditions were fine. However, the mother of two denies this fact.

“From the first day we started living together, I wanted a normal family,” Menshchikova admitted. - Even with a public person. It so happened that Stepan has such a position. He behaves very frankly everywhere, at events ... I wanted an ideal family. We lived normally. At first Stepan led a riotous lifestyle until our son was born. "

At the same time, answering questions, Zhenya allowed herself to lie. The polygraph calculated that the young woman was lying about the lack of communication with other men. The experts in the studio unanimously decided that Menshchikova did not want to admit her guilt in the collapse of this marriage, and therefore so diligently hides her own betrayals.

“Looks like your polygraph has broken,” Zhenya continued to insist on her rightness. - I didn't change. Yes, I talked with other men, but it didn't go beyond correspondence. "

Stepan Menshchikov himself did not deny his guilt. The man openly stated that he really was cheating on his wife, because he needed new experiences. The showman did not hide the fact that he often behaved intemperately and could allow him to break dishes or break furniture in a fit of anger. Once Styopa even took out a knife and stuck it into the closet. According to him, the children were not around at that moment.

“Zhenya never shouts, unlike me,” Menshchikov admitted. -I can flare up, throw a scandal, hysterics and really destroy furniture, break dishes. Zhenya is very calm, she eats my brain gradually. "

Stepan's mother, Nadezhda Pavlovna, also intervened in the family conflict. The woman admitted that she was disappointed in her daughter-in-law, who for seven years did not manage to become a good wife for her son.

“She is a simple girl, modest. He fell in love, well, and began to live together, - says Stepa's mother. - But I felt that she did not love him. A mother's heart prompted. Of course, I'm also worried. Love is love and life is life. But if you have children, you can donate. This is love when it is sacrificial. Zhenya did not become a good wife to Stepa. I don't know what the reason is. When I asked why she was leaving him and whether it was connected with money, she replied: "This too." Then she said that in order to maintain a normal life, she needed 500 thousand a month. "

The showman and his wife have never loved each other. Stepan was not raising his son. Evgenia cheated on him throughout all 7 years of marriage. Such revelations awaited viewers in the program "Actually", which aired on Channel One on October 11. Woman`s Day was one of the first to watch the program and found out why Stepan pulled the dirty details of family life out into the world.

A month ago, Stepan and Evgenia Menshchikov announced that they were filing for divorce. The fans had a lot of questions. Why? Who's guilty? And is there a chance for reconciliation? The couple decided to dot all the "i" s in the program of Dmitry Shepelev. But they did not even expect what this frankness would lead them to.

From the outside, the Menshchikov family seemed happy and survived all the insults

Stepan at the beginning of the show said that he wants to make sure that 4-year-old Ivan and 9-month-old Varvara, born during their life together with Evgenia, are his children. He explained his doubts by the fact that they broke off relations and lived separately. And during this half-year break, we built relationships with other people.

In the very first shots, Menshchikov admits that, secretly from Evgenia, he took particles of saliva from his children in order to conduct a DNA test. The showman complains that relatives and friends often say how much the eldest son does not look like him, and this is suspicious. But the youngest is a copy of Menshchikov, but this may be a consequence of telegony - a theory according to which a child may not look like a biological father, but one of the mother's partners, since he left his genetic code in her. Where do such doubts come from? Styopa said that at the moment when Varya was supposed to be conceived, the couple did not communicate, “that is, there could be no physical intimacy. Or I don't remember her. "

Stepan took the saliva of his son Vanya for DNA analysis

Both spouses were connected to the telegraph. Evgenia, not suspecting why Styopa brought her to television, began to resentfully tell that he did not participate at all in the life of the family, and despite all her efforts, she did not manage to “set him up in a family mood. He lives his own life. " She also wanted to know if Stepan was cheating, although she let slip that she knew the answer in advance.

The showman did not deny the betrayal, but objected that at the beginning of their romance they had an open relationship. Hearing this, Zhenya was surprised:

- This is Stepin's position. From the first day we started living, I wanted a normal family. Even if it is with a public person. There are many adequate family men on the stage. But Stepan led a very riotous lifestyle, especially at events and parties. Even when he gave interviews, he constantly said: "Zhenya accepts all my women." As for free relations, I did not use this right. And in general, for the first time I hear about this agreement.

Zhenya stole from Stepan ...

The couple clearly came to the show with a lot of mutual resentment.

Since both heroes came to the program to find out the whole truth to each other, the survey began. Each answer was commented on by experts, based on the testimony of a lie detector.

We started with Eugenia, and immediately started talking about treason, in which she was suspected. Stepan commented on his expectations as follows:

- I believe that she was faithful to me when there were no serious conflicts.

The young mother also decided to first say a few words about the father of her children:

- It is inadequate, it can explode, start swearing and break everything around. Once I stuck a knife in a kitchen cabinet. The children and I even had to hide from him ...

- Yes, I'm expressive, - agreed Stepan. - And Zhenya never swears, unlike me. It just slowly "eats" my brain.

Stepan does not hide that he can freak out and even go into hysterics

The first question of profilers (experts on lies) - "Did Evgenia commit such acts that could cause such a violent reaction from a man?" She answered yes - it turned out to be true.

The next question is whether she stole money from her husband. Evgenia denies this fact, but experts summarize - a lie! The girl explained it this way:

- There was a period when Stepan flew away with a friend to rest. He said that since they were taking him, he would go. And I have no money, so my son and I stay at home. On vacation, he posted photos with other women ... At this time, I took his only stash - an ingot of silver, sold it to the bank, added our own money, and my son and I also flew away to rest. Stepan considers it a theft.

... I asked to rewrite the apartment of the Steppe parents

The topic of family budget continues. They ask the question whether Evgenia asked to rewrite the apartment in Yekaterinburg, which belongs to Stepan's parents, to her. An affirmative answer followed. It's true, the profiler confirmed. Zhenya explained:

- We have been living in a rented apartment for 7 years. Styopa has no property of her own. He bought a plot of land, but he cannot build a house there. The only real estate is my apartment in Ivanovo (where Eugene comes from. - Approx. Woman`s Day) and the apartment of the Steppe parents in Yekaterinburg. It was about the fact that if I leave, then I must have my own apartment so that I can be confident in our future.

... changed

Then the questions became more compromising: did Evgenia have other men at the time of communication with Stepan. She admits that yes, but only when they diverged. This is true, the expert confirms. But when they were together - no, she was faithful, the girl claims. And then the polygraph fixes the lie. The profiler asks a clarifying question: "Did the wife cheat on her husband?" - "No" - but the polygraph again reveals that this is a lie.

Evgenia gets annoyed, and then reveals that she did not love Stepan at the time of the beginning of their relationship:

- We had a passion when we first started a relationship. We thought that true love would come ... But it didn’t come from me.

Stepan was clearly shocked, but restrained himself:

- Yes, we did not talk about love, but we felt good together. I knew she didn't love me. It didn't bother me.

Lies, lies, lies ...

At first Yevgenia laughed at the accusations of lying, but then she got angry

And here are other statements by Eugene, which experts considered false:

- Before the birth of my first child, but already in a relationship with Stepan, I had no other men.

- After the birth of the first child, there was no relationship with other men either.

- Before the birth of the second child, there was no relationship with other men either.

Lies followed one after another. Zhenya laughed at first, but then she began to get nervous, stammer and assert that the polygraph was lying. Stepan commented on it this way:

- I try to justify Eugene: I'm not a gift. But I would like my woman to love and support me. Now I understand that I need another. My peace of mind is most important.

At the beginning of the program, Menshchikov said that he wanted to save the marriage. But after the answers on the polygraph, he no longer considered this option.

- Sense of gluing a broken cup? All seven years I thought that love would appear. When people lead a joint life, when they have children together, when both love these children. But love did not come ...

Stepan himself did not deny that he was cheating on his wife, and this was more than once. But he said that now he has no other woman, although the spouses left four months ago.

"Zhenya, you have not become a good wife to Stepa"

Stepa's mom, of course, is on the side of her son

Stepan's mother, Nadezhda, was also in the studio. She turned to Eugene:

- Zhenya is a simple girl, modest. You know that Styopa had many applicants for the role of wife, but he never chased after material wealth. He fell in love with Zhenya - they began to live together. But the mother's heart prompted that she did not love him. He was a public guy, which probably attracted her. I am worried about them now. But I believe that love can be neglected for the sake of children. And Zhenya, please forgive me for such words, but you did not become a good wife to Styopa. I don't know what the reason is.

Once I asked her if she wanted to divorce Styopa because of the money: after all, now he is not earning so well. She replied, “That too. I need 500,000 a month to exist. And he also doesn't deal with children. " But when I call my son, I ask: "Step, where are you?", He constantly walks with the children. And Zhenya either sticks on eyelashes or dyes her hair in a hairdresser. Styopa justified her: “Mom, she must have her own life. Why should she sit within four walls. " And he gave her complete freedom. She could go to cafes and meet friends ...

Secret DNA test

Styopa seriously did not believe that children might turn out to be non-native to him ...

So, the most important questions that interested Menshchikov: is he the biological father of children who is raising? Despite the stated doubts, the showman called them his own during the entire program, and he was clearly not very worried about the results of the DNA test - at least he believed in his wife.

Before the announcement of the results, Evgenia confirmed that she was sure: Vanya is Stepa's son. The polygraph recorded that this is a lie ... The host Dmitry Shepelev opened the envelope and read: "The probability that Ivan is Stepan's son is 0%."

Stepan's eyes widened, shock was read on his face. And his mother could not even hold back her tears.

- May I take this paper with me? - having recovered a little, asked Menshchikov. - I was hoping for a different result. But don't worry, I'm a strong person, I can handle it. This will not change my attitude towards my son. I love him, I will educate and support him. But I wonder who is the father?

Everyone was waiting for a comment from Zhenya. She tried to "keep her face", although she was clearly worried:

- What kind of relationship, this is true. I confess to Stepa who is the father, but it will be personally. I knew that Ivan was not Stepan's son. How do I tell my son? Styopa communicates with children in such a way that for four months his son did not need a father at all. They only see mom. The daughter generally cries when she sees him.

Stepan Valerievich Menshchikov. Born on May 15, 1977 in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg). Russian actor, showman, former participant of the show "Dom-2".

Since childhood, he demonstrated acting skills, not a single celebration at home and at school was complete without Stepan's participation. "But in general, I was a real bully. I remember a funny story related to my grandmother Aya. I came to her and tried the superglue technology: I dripped a drop of glue onto one finger, said to press it to the other and count to 10, and I ran away! ", - he said.

Then Stepan Menshchikov became a student at the Yekaterinburg State Theater Institute, the Department of Acting.

In 2002, Stepan Menshchikov moved to Moscow, where in two years he changed several types of activities, among which were the professions of a stripper, clown, realtor and head teacher of the school.

On May 12, 2004, Stepan Menshchikov became one of the first participants in the longest-running reality show on television - "House 2".

As part of the TV project, he established himself as an actor of the comedy genre, entertaining his colleagues and show hosts. He unequivocally expressed sympathy for one of the brightest participants, but the girl did not appreciate the lack of a romantic mood.

Stepan Menshchikov, despite his dubious image and very mediocre appearance, met only the most spectacular participants in the TV show.

He started his first and most scandalous novel in the history of "House-2" with. There have always been fights and stormy reconciliations in this pair. After several years of a vivid relationship, love faded away, and Stepan Menshchikov continued to look after the girls.

It turned out to be on the list of his sympathies, and soon the union of a wealthy beauty and a simple guy from Yekaterinburg turned into a real misalliance.

One of the consequences of relations with Victoria Boney became. Bona had to prove through the court that she was not in the photo.

He often suffered because of his long tongue. In the program "Sincere Confession", trying to explain why Yuri Budagov (ex-husband of the TV presenter) liked him, Menshchikov called the businessman "a charming swindler" (and further in the same style). This was followed by a phone call from Budagov with threats, and then unknown persons on a cool BMW beat Menshchikov.

There were suspicions about Budagov's involvement in the beating of Stepan Menshchikov, but the investigation failed to prove this.

“If a person ends up in“ Dom-2 ”and stays for a long time, he will not go crazy. Because there are no normal people there, crazy people go there. Normal people are not accepted into the project. There are all neurasthenics with hypertrophied vanity. Vanity is my favorite. vice. It's a federal entertainment channel! I was also chasing fame and money, "the showman admitted.

After another stormy breakup, Stepan Menshchikov began dating Alexandra Kharitonova. Their acquaintance took place in Thailand and grew into a short romance. Stepan Menshchikov even offered the hand and heart of his beloved, but she accused him of not having her own living space outside the perimeter, after which she agreed to start life from a new leaf - outside the Dom-2 show.

Stepan Menshchikov left after his beloved girl, but the relationship did not work out, and Alexandra returned to the project. Stepan himself left Dom-2 forever, having enlisted the support of the "native" TNT channel.

In 2008, Stepan Menshchikov took part in the show “Stars are changing the profession” as a stylist-hairdresser, and two years later he became the co-host of the project “Hu from Hu” on the TNT channel in tandem with another former participant of “House-2” Rustam Solntsev.

He also became the founder and host of the popular Good Night Guys! on DTV.

Then he opened his own dating site and dreams of creating a new television show "Bride for an Alligator."

Stepan Menshchikov's height: 178 centimeters.

Personal life of Stepan Menshchikov:

Since 2011 he met with Evgeny Shamaeva. In March 2013, a son, Ivan, was born to Menshchikov and Shamaeva. For the sake of the family, Stepan left the project "Dom-2".

In December 2013, on the air of the program "Let them talk" Menshchikov proposed to Evgenia, she agreed.

The wedding ceremony was staged by the lovers in Goa in January 2014. And in August 2016, Stepan Menshchikov and Yevgenia Shamaeva legalized their relationship in the registry office.

Stepan Menshchikov is one of the first participants in the Dom 2 TV project, a famous showman, TV presenter and performer of popular songs. The showman was born on May 15, 1977 in the city of Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg). Stepan Menshchikov grew up and was brought up in a modest average family, and he was the oldest among three children. The artist's mother, Nadezhda Pavlovna, worked as a builder, and his father, Valery Vladimirovich, who graduated from the Kazan Aviation Institute, worked at the Kalinin machine-building plant and was a land acquisition specialist.

To learn and get an education, Menshchikov Sr. had to work as a janitor. The family did not live well, so the future participant of "House-2" did not know what luxury was: the artist recalled that, being a 12-13-year-old child, he and his father washed the floors in the entrance. Therefore, Styopa knew from early childhood what it was like to earn a living through hard work. The showman admitted that he spent more time with his mother than with his dad, because Valery Vladimirovich left to work early in the morning and returned home late in the evening.

Stepan said that his parents were not strict people, so real democracy reigned in the house: the boy was not scolded too much for pranks, but his father sometimes scolded him for incomplete mathematics. However, the artist is even grateful for such upbringing, because, as you know, the ability to count and multiply is sure to come in handy in life for any person. It is also known from Stepan's childhood that he adored his mother's doll (which her husband gave her), loved to break toys, was restless and constantly admired his appearance. However, it is worth noting that Menshchikov was a well-bred child: he helped both mom and dad and neighbors.

Menshchikov began to get involved in creativity largely because of Nadezhda Pavlovna. Stepan's mom dreamed that her son would learn to dance. Therefore, the woman, with the help of trickery, took the boy to the dance studio: until the last moment she did not tell her child where they were going. Styopa did not like the classes, and the boy perceived each visit to the circle as unbearable torture, for which he paid in the future: when Menshchikov entered the university, his folk dance at the admissions committee failed miserably.

Having become older, the young man did not take part in school amateur performances. It is known that while studying, the guy developed typical rebellious inclinations: in the 9th grade, he began to smoke cigarettes (the Menshchikov family is a non-smoker), and in the 11th, due to unrequited love, Styopa tried alcohol. Having received a certificate of maturity in 1994, Menshchikov began his creative biography in the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Ural Military District, and later the young man was admitted to the Yekaterinburg university at the faculty of acting.

Show "Dom-2"

After graduating from university, Stepan served in the army and set out on a free voyage. The young man had a choice: go to live in London or conquer Moscow. But since Menshchikov had problems with a visa, the guy had to stay in Russia. It is noteworthy that in the capital, the showman tried himself in various roles: he worked as a stripper, a clown and even a head teacher at a school.

On May 12, 2004 Menshchikov became one of the first participants in the reality show "Dom-2". On a long-playing TV set, a talented guy managed both to build love and to entertain the presenters and colleagues in the shop, for which he fell in love with viewers - not without reason some fans compare Stepan with the famous American comedian.

Thanks to his sense of humor and charisma, the "old man of the perimeter" managed to win more than one woman's heart. The first darling of Stepan became. Fans of "House-2" often discussed this beautiful couple and wondered when the wedding would be. However, the relationship between Menshchikov and Vodonaeva parted at the seams, because, in addition to romance, lovers often had conflicts and violent quarrels.

After breaking up with Alena, Stepan began dating. Some reality fans believed that young people were no match for each other: they did not understand why a rich girl and a beauty contest participant drew attention to an ordinary guy from Sverdlovsk. Boni and Menshchikov's relationship kept a multimillion-dollar army of viewers near the TV screens: the whole country watched the life of an extravagant couple, who scandals and fights provided the show with unprecedented ratings.

The next victim of the main Don Juan of the project was. Styopa met a seductive Muscovite on vacation in Thailand and was not slow to invite her to a reality show. After an unsuccessful relationship as part of a television project, the lovers decided to try their luck outside the perimeter, however, this romance was doomed to failure.

But it is worth saying that after leaving the "House-2" Stepan continued to flicker on TV screens. For example, in 2008 he played the role of a hairdresser in the show "Stars are changing their profession", and from 2011 to 2012 Menshchikov (in the role of the funny rabbit Stepasha), together with a colleague, hosted the satirical television show "Hu from Hu", where famous politicians were invited and stars:, and others.

Personal life

Stepan Menshchikov is a cheerful and artistic person, open to communication: he shares the latest news in
