Ivan Matviyenko - producer and former husband of Vaengi

Ivan Matvienko is a Russian producer and former husband of the popular singer Elena Vaenga (Khruleva). In the past, I worked on the development of her career. At the moment the couple is divorced.

Acquaintance with the future wife

It happened quite unexpectedly. At that moment, Ivan was already a wealthy man. And Elena was barely eighteen. Matvienko went then on his own gig by Peter. Suddenly, a girl ran straight to the road and waved her hand. Ivan braked sharply, otherwise it would have got under the wheels. It turned out that the girl just wanted to have her lifted. Elena, dressed in a light blouse and short skirt, immediately liked Matvienko. Well, long hair (almost to the knees) only strengthened its charm. On the way Ivan asked Khrulev about the occupation. Pretty woman replied that she was doing vocals at the Rimsky-Korsakov school. And Matvienko had the whole family musical, and he himself played the guitar from childhood. In general, the topics for communication were found very quickly. They exchanged phones and agreed to meet the next day.

When Ivan came for her, the girl took the guitar, the young people went to a friend Matvienko. Elena sang to the guys, and the future producer fell in love with her. But the fastened Roman did not like the strict father of Khrulev. After a family quarrel Elena moved to live with Ivan.

Difficult period

At that time the situation in the country was quite heavy. To feed the family, the future producer had to look for a new job, since the watchmaker's specialty brought him almost nothing. Soon Ivan Matvienko started to drive cars from abroad. This work was very dangerous. All the earned money went to the development of his wife's career - the girl needed to pay the studio and buy costumes.

At that time, Khrublev could not boast of particular fame. Although her performances were often marked by various honorary diplomas and diplomas. Elena had almost no time left for the economy. Also did not add comfort and regular relocations - his apartment to the hero of this article also had to be sold.

New profession

At a certain stage, Ivan Matvienko decided to seriously take up his wife's career and declared himself the official producer of Elena. And the first step was to change the alias. The wife of Ivan decided to take the name of Vaeng, in honor of the river, next to which she was born. And then the new producer had a hard time - he lacked the connections necessary in this profession. Therefore, for a while, Elena collaborated with the gypsy team "Cabriolet". Performed at small concert venues in front of several dozen people.

Career development

In 1998, Ivan Matviyenko attributed the professional record of the spouse to the radio "Russian chanson" in St. Petersburg. The station management decided to give Vaengue some air time in the transfer of "Night Taxi" and did not lose it - Elena liked the singing very much. Over time, Ivan's wife became popular and completely immersed in show business. For this reason, Vaengue had to sacrifice her personal life and rarely see her husband. Most of the tours and concerts required the regular presence of Elena in Moscow. The singer has firmly established herself in the capital's hotels. Although it did not turn out to win Moscow from Vaenga at once - the first attempt of the artist ended in failure. Khruleva returned to St. Petersburg to "lick wounds." But Ivan Matvienko persuaded his wife to make a second attempt. This time Elena managed to gain a foothold in the capital.

Parting

Permanent visits have affected relations between Matvienko and Vaenga. For some time, Ivan tried to distract himself by promoting his talented sister, Raisa Otradnaya. But the producer could not completely get rid of sad thoughts. Now the couple had enough money to live - Vaenga received fairly solid fees for her performances. There were rumors that the seasonal incomes of the singer had long exceeded the mark of $ 1 million. And Ivan Ivanovich Matvienko forgot about his turbulent past, connected with the distillation of cars. Now he spent a lot of time at home watching television. Spouses hardly experienced the forced separation, especially Ivan Matviyenko. Vaenga's husband before the next birthday of the singer just left the house.

Divorce

In 2011, Elena divorced her husband. During the year she carefully concealed this fact from the general public. But in the end everything became known. It is worth noting that Elena Vaenga and Ivan Matvienko, whose biography was published in many media, managed to maintain a warm friendly relationship.
