The peak of Arshavin's career came at the beginning of the millennium, and in 2008 he was recognized as the best player of the Russian national team. For four years, Andrei Arshavin played for the English Arsenal, and then returned to Zenit, where he began his professional career.
He is now a player for Kazakhstan's Kairat and was one of the top five players in the Kazakhstan Premier League last season. During all this time, many events occurred in the personal life of Andrei Arshavin, which were actively discussed in the media.
Personal life of Andrei Arshavin
The footballer created his first family during the rise of his career, and when he was invited to play for London's Arsenal, he already had two children. The fact that Andrei became a real family man did not prevent him from having affairs on the side, about which Andrei Arshavin’s first wife, Yulia Baranovskaya, may have guessed, but forgave a lot.

However, after nine years of marriage, her husband announced to her that he was leaving for someone else - Arshavin’s new love turned out to be former model Alisa Kazmina. But even in his new marriage, the football player could not give up his affairs on the side, because of which his second family almost collapsed.

Andrey Arshavin and Yulia Baranovskaya
They met when Andrei was just starting his career at Zenit and was already showing great promise. Baranovskaya said that their first meeting, which took place during a walk along Nevsky Prospect, completely changed her biography.
Before meeting Arshavin, Yulia was going to go to university, but her rapidly developing relationship with the Zenit football player changed all her plans.
They almost immediately began to live together; in 2005, Baranovskaya gave birth to their first child, son Artem, and two years later daughter Yana was born.
When their daughter turned two years old, Andrei Arshavin was invited to London to play for the local Arsenal, and they were not going to refuse such a lucrative offer.
Together with his family, the football player moved to the British capital, where they were to live for three whole years.
Despite having two children, Arshavin and Baranovskaya were in no hurry to register their marriage officially - Andrei Arshavin’s wife says that she didn’t see the point in this, because next to her husband she always had the feeling of a real family that would last forever.
When the contract ended and Arshavin had to return to St. Petersburg, his wife decided to stay in London so as not to distract the older children from their studies and not deprive them of their usual environment. However, hopes for a happy future collapsed when she learned that her husband had met a new love and decided to leave the family.
Andrei informed Yulia about this by phone - he already knew that his common-law wife was expecting a third child, but this did not stop him from making such a decision.
Arshavin's third child was born in London, but his appearance did not force Andrei to return to the family.
Later, Baranovskaya and her children moved to Moscow, where she had to build a new life. The profession of a TV presenter, which she discovered for herself in the Russian capital, gave Yulia a lot. Baranovskaya started with the show “Bachelor” on the TNT channel, then the project on “Russia-1” “Girls”, and later she became co-host of Alexander Gordon in the talk show “Male/Female”.

Yulia says that after her ex-husband left her alone with three children, she had to seek child support through the court and prove that they have the right to it.
Andrey Arshavin and Alisa Kazmina
The second, but already official wife of Andrei Arshavin was the former model Alisa Kazmina.
Arshavin with his second wife
They started dating three years before their wedding in September 2016. At that time, Alice was already divorced and was raising two children from her first marriage.
She was first seen with Arshavin in the spring of 2013, when they came to a basketball match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. At first, Kazmina, an unknown graduate of the Faculty of Journalism of St. Petersburg University, was confused with the English top model Leilani Daudin, and conflicting rumors appeared in the media about Andrei Arshavin’s affair.
Meanwhile, Alice acted decisively, not embarrassed by her relationship with the married football player, and soon they began to openly appear in public places.
Alisa Kazmina walked down the aisle with a noticeably rounded belly, and soon Andrei Arshavin’s newly-made wife gave birth to his daughter Yesenia, who became the third child for Alisa and the fourth for Andrei.
Scandal in the Arshavin family
Alice’s personal life was cloudless for a little over a year, and thirteen months after the wedding, she heard rumors that Andrei was cheating on her with someone else. The football player’s secret passion turned out to be a model named Ekaterina, whom he met even before his wedding with Kazmina - at his birthday.
The relationship did not end with just one date and lasted a whole year - Arshavin was simultaneously having an affair with two women at once, one of whom was his future wife.
The secret relationship with Katya lasted a whole year - they arranged dates in hotels, restaurants and airports, Arshavin gave his beloved expensive gifts and invited her to his matches.
Catherine was also not free then - she had a relationship with a young man who did not suspect that his girlfriend was cheating on him with a famous football player.
When Alice found out about this, she posed the question bluntly and told Arshavin about her intention to divorce him. It is interesting that Katya’s husband, whom she married not so long ago, reported Andrei Kazmina’s betrayal.
But the seemingly inevitable divorce did not take place in Arshavin’s new family - Alisa, after thinking about it, decided to forgive the unfaithful one. She was touched by the tearful apologies of her husband, who sincerely repented of his betrayal. Kazmina found it especially valuable that her husband asked her for forgiveness publicly and repented of betrayal in one of his interviews.

From this, the football player’s wife concluded that he values his family very much and does not want to lose it. To completely smooth out the conflict, Arshavin arranged a fabulous vacation for his wife, and took Alice and the children to the Maldives, where they spent a fabulous vacation.
In one of the interviews, the football player admitted that he walked away from Alice, but now he madly regrets it. However, it is unknown how sincere Arshavin was in assuring his wife that family was the main thing for him - after some time, rumors appeared that he had started a new affair, this time with the Kazakh model Olga Semenova, with whom he was spotted in one of the restaurants .
He not only talked with the gorgeous blonde, but also hugged her waist. Alisa, seeing a video from this party posted on Instagram, responded to her rival with threats, and Semenova, in retaliation, presented the video for everyone to see. The model does not say anything about whether this was a fleeting meeting or whether it continued.
Brief biography of Andrei Arshavin
Arshavin was born in Leningrad on May 29, 1981. His father himself played football well and decided to introduce his son to this sport.
When Andrey was seven years old, his mother took him to the Smena sports school, and at sixteen he began playing for the school’s adult team.
In 2000, Arshavin was invited to the main team of Zenit, and before that he was a player of its farm club.
Andrei scored his first hat-trick in 2003 in a match with Saturn near Moscow, and after ten assists in the 2003 Russian championship, Arshavin became one of the most productive assistants in the championship.
Andrei Arshavin's highest achievement was playing in the UEFA Cup, and in the same year he won the European Super Cup. In February 2009, Arshavin began playing for London's Arsenal, in 2013 he returned to Zenit, and since November 2015, Andrei Arshavin has been playing for Kazakhstan's Kairat.
The marital status of football player Andrei Arshavin still remains a mystery: last weekend, the football player’s wife Alisa Kazmina unexpectedly announced that she was divorcing the athlete. The mother of his six-month-old daughter Yesenia said that she had not forgiven her husband for his betrayal and had generally stopped loving him. Alisa, who decided to leave the football player 13 months after their wedding, told reporters: she has no material claims against Arshavin and will live without his alimony. Next, the lawyer of the player of the Kairat football club (remember, Arshavin has recently been living in Kazakhstan and plays for the local team) told the press that Alisa got excited and came up with a divorce. Like, he will calm down, and everything will be as before. And so it happened: after a couple of days, Kazmina confessed her love to Arshavin on Instagram and published a photo of him on the football field, congratulating him on a successful game. Today, the woman again threw up a new riddle for fans of the football star: Alisa shared on her page a photo of her ex-husband Alexei Kazmin, whom she left for Arshavin. In the photo, Alexey is holding their common daughter in his arms. Alice left her ex-husband after 10 years of marriage and became the first official wife of a football player.
And this is the father of our middle daughter, our Alice. She’s 8 months old here,” she told her followers.
Next, another photo of her ex-husband appeared on Kazmina’s microblog - it turns out that Alexey Kazmin has already found his happiness and got married again.
This is my ex-husband, with whom I have two children, and with whom, it seems to me, I managed to maintain a good relationship. This is his new wife. He got married soon after me,” Alisa told subscribers of her page.
Arshavin's fans are wondering: what does this sudden attack of Alice's nostalgia mean? Either Kazmina misses the old days and regrets that she left her husband for the flighty Andrei, or hopes that after her divorce from Arshavin, she will also find new love, like her ex-husband?
Meanwhile, the football player’s ex-wife, TV presenter Yulia Baranovskaya, has already commented on Alisa Kazmina’s decision to divorce. Many are sure: Yulia is now sipping champagne and thinking about the “boomerang effect”, because Arshavin left her with three children for the sake of a new passion. In addition, despite the years of marriage and common children, Baranovskaya remained the athlete’s common-law wife. But Kazmina managed to bring the football star to the registry office. But, unexpectedly for everyone, Yulia Baranovskaya sympathized with Alice.
For me, a man equals responsibility. “He shouldn’t have any other qualities,” Baranovskaya said in an interview with the “You Won’t Believe It!” program.
Julia added that after the divorce, Alice will have to rely only on her own strength and raise her daughter alone. Thus, the TV presenter hinted that Arshavin has not taken part in the fate of his children from a previous civil marriage for a long time. Let us remember that Julia gave birth to his sons Artem and Arseny and daughter Yana. The marriage of Baranovskaya and Arshavin broke up in 2013. And on September 1, 2016, the athlete married Alisa Kazmina.
The once strong family of successful football player Andrei Arshavin and Yulia Baranovskaya, a famous TV presenter, broke up after 9 years of happy life together. Even three children did not stop the spouses, even if they lived in a civil marriage. Despite the fact that all the details of their life were discussed very actively by fans, how they met and how their relationship developed, as well as the nuances of the scandalous breakup, are of interest to numerous followers of these media figures to this day. Of course, fans are also interested in the current details of their lives after the sensational breakup.
Julia
The future popular TV presenter and wife of successful football player Andrei Arshavin was born in the city on the Neva, St. Petersburg. True, on June 3, 1985, when this happened, it was still Leningrad.
An unremarkable ordinary family (father is an engineer, mother is a teacher) broke up when Yulia was 10 years old. The girl stayed with her mother. The girl’s relationship with her father ceased for almost 15 years after the divorce, and even after their reconciliation remained strained for a long time. It was difficult for the girl to understand why he left and left her mother and her. This, according to Yulia herself, was a heavy blow for her.
Later, my mother married again, and in this marriage Julia’s two sisters were born - Ksenia and Alexandra. She, as an older sister, took an active part in their upbringing. Today she calls them her real family. Sisters and mother are the real hope and support of the famous Russian TV presenter.
Probably, this experience of family relationships helped her in the future. But she hardly thought about it then.
At school she studied very diligently and successfully. She was even elected more than once. All school achievements were Yulia’s personal merit. Mom worked as a teacher, but at a different school, and could not influence this development of events.
After school, Yulia, as a successful student, easily entered the university to study management. It was also her personal choice, but not a very successful one. The creative nature could not find a way out; it turned out that management was absolutely not for her. However, she failed to graduate from university and receive a diploma of higher education, not because she did not love the profession she chose, but for a completely different reason. His Majesty chance changed everything.
Meeting Yulia Baranovskaya and Andrei Arshavin
One summer day in 2003, after passing the next exam, Yulia and her friend went for a walk. And they met on Nevsky Prospekt. He - then still a beginner and unknown to anyone, but a promising football player of the St. Petersburg "Zenith" - won the beauty's heart and made her forget about everything, dissolving in her beloved.
Their relationship developed very rapidly, there was no time to even really think about formalizing the marriage bond. And, really, when? She is a student, he has career ambitions. She was in seventh heaven with love and happiness and, like any girl in love, she thought that this would be forever. For him, a stamp in his passport also did not seem like an obligatory attribute of a happy family life.
Andrei, we must give him his due, wanted to legalize the relationship, but Yulia wanted a real wedding with a beautiful dress and many guests, flowers and other attributes of the celebration and refused several times, and then this issue dissolved by itself. In general, everything went on as usual, there was not even a hint of an imminent end.
Birth of first child
And Yulia Baranovskaya almost immediately began to live together. And already in 2005 they became parents for the first time. They named their firstborn Artyom. The young mother was forced to leave her studies for a while, because caring for the baby did not provide enough free time for this. Yulia took an academic leave, although she did not return from it later.
New addition to the family
A little later, 3 years later, a beautiful daughter was born. She was named Yana. Second pregnancy and childbirth. Of course, two children made the young mother completely forget about continuing her education and getting a diploma.
Then the story of Yulia Baranovskaya and Andrei Arshavin resembled the story of many young families: modest incomes, the need to earn money, caring for two small children. But one day everything changed. Andrei Arshavin was invited to Arsenal - one of the most famous football clubs in Foggy Albion and around the world. Playing in this professional English FC is an honor for modern athletes.
"I will move to London..."
The choice was easy. It’s not difficult to decide to move to the capital of a European state, keeping in mind the opportunities that present themselves. The terms of the contract were more than attractive, and the young family, without thinking twice, moved to London.
But reality somewhat did not live up to expectations, mainly the wife of Andrei Arshavin, Yulia Baranovskaya. Yulia can tell you a lot about what it’s like to come to a country whose language is familiar to you only at the Soviet high school level, and you are responsible for arranging the life of a rather large family. Children need to be sent to kindergarten and school where English is also spoken. And my husband is always at training, championships and rarely appears at home. At the same time, you don’t have the opportunity to relax, because there are no grandmothers or girlfriends nearby with whom you could just talk and cry.
For a long time the English press relished any of their appearances. The appearance of the Arshavin couple in society became a reason for jokes. Perhaps the reason for this was that she once said that she had no sympathy for this foreign country. Despite everything, in the photo Yulia Baranovskaya and Andrei Arshavin during their life in London are simply glowing with happiness. They were truly a beautiful couple.
Only after some time did they manage to cope with all the difficulties and inconveniences. Yulia was even thinking about organizing a club for young women who, like her, had moved to England. The purpose of such a club, according to her plan, was to help them at first. However, it was not possible to realize the grandiose plans and, ironically, again through Andrei’s fault.
Beginning of the End
In 2012, at the end of his contract with Arsenal, Arshavin was offered to return to his native Zenit. He probably couldn’t refuse and decided to leave for Russia.
But the mother of two children could not afford to suddenly just tear the already grown children out of their familiar environment and the school they had already gone to. She had to stay in London for some time. Perhaps separation was the indirect reason for their separation.
New novel by Andrei Arshavin
Yulia Baranovskaya and the children lived in London. And the head of the family did not waste time. Very soon he found himself a new passion. The choice fell on Well, they say only 5% of men are polygamous, and Andrei Arshavin was no exception. His wife Yulia Baranovskaya was expecting their third child at that time. By the way, Alice didn’t suddenly appear; they met when everything was fine with Andrei and Yulia.
Scandalous divorce
The story of the separation of Yulia Baranovskaya and Andrei Arshavin was not at all like a fairy tale. The outstanding athlete behaved unpredictably. He simply left the family’s life, calling and telling his pregnant wife that he had another woman. This happened in 2013.
Rumors that Yulia Baranovskaya and Andrei Arshavin had reconciled periodically appeared in the press. However, there could be no talk of any reconciliation.
Returning from the capital of Great Britain, Julia had to live in a rented apartment with her three children. The father did not take part in the upbringing and maintenance of the children. Quite rightly, Julia decided to sue. Despite the fact that their marriage was not officially registered, according to the law the father is responsible for his children.
According to the court decision, Arshavin pays half of the income to his family.
Ex-wife Yulia Baranovskaya will later write about this, as well as about many other things from life with Andrei Arshavin, in her book.
Julia does not blame her husband; on the contrary, she is grateful to him for the almost 10 happy years that they lived together. She loved him, felt him from a distance. She shares details of their personal life in the book, recalling that she could guess his thoughts and get through to him when no one could.
Andrei Arshavin's wife Yulia Baranovskaya looks at the situation with optimism. She believes that if they had not divorced, she would not have become who she is now. She would forever remain a mother of many children and the wife of a successful football player.
The only thing she says she cannot forgive him for is the fact that he does not see his children. As Julia says, dad is a holiday for them. She never turned them against their father, and if he ever came to them, they would simply be happy and hug him. And now they are too busy to worry about his constant absence.
Arshavin: life after divorce
A few years after breaking up with his first wife, Arshavin finally married his chosen one. They officially married in 2016. In February 2017, the couple had a son, and in October they announced their divorce. Moreover, according to eyewitnesses, the initiator was Alisa.
Arshavin is widely known to television viewers and fans for his explosive character. Who doesn’t remember his harsh statements after another devastating defeat of the Russian national football team?
Various compromising information often appears in the press. For example, that Arshavin hides his income in order to reduce alimony payments.
After Arshavin
According to Yulia Baranovskaya, Andrei Arshavin taught her a lot. The experience that her ex-husband gave plays a huge role in her real life. It is thanks to communication with him that it is easy for her to build a relationship with the co-host of the “Male/Female” program, Alexander Gordon, as Yulia says jokingly.
It may seem that the divorce of Yulia Baranovskaya and Andrei Arshavin does not matter to her and does not excite her. However, this is not the case. She remembers with fear severe depression, when it seemed like the ground was disappearing from under her feet, and long nights in tears.
Today Yulia Baranovskaya is a popular TV presenter and writer, whose advice is listened to by many women who find themselves in difficult life situations.
Personal life
As for his personal life, everything seems to be fine here too.
In 2015, Yulia could be seen at social events and film screenings, accompanied by the famous stylist Evgeniy Sedoy. The couple did not hide from the lenses of ubiquitous photographers, and soon rumors about their romance began to spread in the press.
Recently, Yulia can often be seen in the company of the famous Russian film actor Alexei Chadov ("9th Company", "Heat"). True, as Yulia Baranovskaya herself says, she and Alexei are connected only by friendship. Although in the media you can see many photos of them together, which hint at something more. Moreover, they often appear together at social events and parties.
Let us remember that in the past he was married to actress Agnia Detkovskite. The couple has a son.
Career rise
After the uproar surrounding the divorce, Julia became of interest to numerous organizers of various shows and correspondents of popular publications. To get hot information first hand, they simply lined up. Then Baranovskaya, in the role of Arshavin’s ex-wife, took part in Andrei Malakhov’s “Let Them Talk” program. After filming, Yulia began to be invited to various events, where she met producer Peter Sheksheev. It was he who helped the future presenter appear on television not as a guest.
She was the host of several popular programs on different channels: TNT - "Reboot", "Russia 1" - "Girls". Now she, together with Alexander Gordon, hosts the famous talk show “Male/Female” on Channel One.
We can discuss for a long time why Yulia Baranovskaya and Andrei Arshavin divorced. However, it is clear that, as always, time puts everything in its place.
The ex-player of the Russian national team, Zenit and London Arsenal, and now a Kairat footballer, again found himself left behind in the family idyll. 35-year-old Alisa Kazmina announced the breakup. But first, an excursion into history.
The football player's first wife was Yulia Baranovskaya, with whom he lived for 10 years. During this period, the Arshavin family managed to live in St. Petersburg, when Andrei played for Zenit, and in London while playing for Arsenal. But it didn't last long at all. More precisely, the Russian did not enjoy Wenger’s trust for long. And the role of a reserve changed him. And not only as an athlete, but also as a family man. This is how it appeared Alisa Kazmina. At that time, Yulia and Andrei already had two children and were about to expect a third. But this did not stop the ardent lover.
In 2012, a high-profile divorce took place between Arshavin and Baranovskaya, which was preceded by lengthy legal proceedings. As a result, Andrei agreed to pay his mother and three children half of all his income.
All roads were opened for the former Russian football star, and hiding his relationship with journalist and model Alisa was no longer necessary. After four years of dating, he married for the second time. Is there a happy ending this time? Alas. Once again, the Arshavin family, already the second, faced a fiasco.
Alisa Kazmina told Life the following.
“Grown people don’t quarrel. Adults make decisions and leave... I didn’t leave for anyone, I say right away. I left due to the circumstances of my work, let’s put it this way.
For some reason everyone wrote to me that he would leave me. But in the end, I left him. Why did the whole country think that only he could leave me with three children, that I was a completely unclaimed woman? Yes, a friend of mine with four children recently got married!
Let's talk about our relationship when he finishes playing football. This will happen in two months. Believe me, I think this will happen to “Kairat” soon.
My financial condition worsened after I left my first husband for Andrey, to be honest. The ex-husband had no children, he did not have to pay 50 percent of alimony.”Arshavin's wife said she left the football player
But that is not all. Information appeared on Life that Alisa left Andrei because of betrayal: “I didn’t forgive the betrayal, I fell out of love, I don’t want to be together.”
If this information is confirmed, then the Kairat player can be safely congratulated on his twin double. But with amendments: not ten years, but one year; not three of his children, but one; It was not he who left the family, but she. That's all, actually. Otherwise, these are two family stories of Arshavin. Do you have any strength left for the third? And does the ex-star need it?
The second wife of football player Andrei Arshavin, Alisa Kazmina, will not demand alimony from her husband during a divorce. She said that she could provide for her children herself.
I will be filing for divorce soon... We live in different cities. I have no financial claims, I will not file for alimony, says Kazmina.
According to the woman, she was the initiator of the separation. One of the reasons for the breakup was the professional activities of the athlete’s wife. According to Kazmina, Arshavin “interfered” with her self-realization as a journalist.
Also, the football player’s wife did not forgive him for his betrayal. Even before the wedding, which took place on September 1 last year, she convicted her lover of infidelity. Arshavin had an affair with a married model.
With Kazmina
“Betrayal was just one of the reasons that pushed me to make such a decision,” StarHit quotes Kazmina as saying.
Arshavin's wife admitted that after the betrayal, her husband became very attentive and caring. And with Yeseni in February of this year, the family became even stronger.
For the sake of Kazmina, Andrei Arshavin left his common-law wife, who bore him three children during ten years of marriage.
The football player’s second wife also has children from his first marriage, with whom Arshavin found a common language.
Now the athlete plays for Kazakhstan's Kairat. He recently announced that he does not intend to play in the Russian Football Premier League.
Previously, Arshavin did not rule out that he would end his professional career after the expiration of his contract with Kairat, which was concluded until the end of 2017.
