Liza Boyarskaya: biography, personal life, husband, children

Elizaveta is from Leningrad. Date of birth: 12/20/1985. She was born in star family, becoming the twelfth actress in the list of the famous acting dynasty.

Lisa's parents are People's Artists of the RSFSR Larisa Luppian and Mikhail Boyarsky. The daughter had to prove for a long time that she received roles not through patronage, but thanks to her own creative talent.

From the age of 13, Lisa was interested in jazz and classical dancing. Then the girl graduated from modeling school. Unlike her older brother Sergei, whom her parents saw only as an actor, Lisa was not attracted to the theater. At the age of 15, she accidentally found herself filming, but her first episodic roles did not leave a good impression.

During her school days, she was constantly praised for her ability to perfectly organize events. Therefore, Lisa decided to become a PR manager, or, as a last resort, become a journalist.

However, before submitting documents to the university, the girl suddenly felt a craving for the stage. She is urgently preparing to enter the theater academy. Selection committee I checked Lisa for more than an hour, but she passed the test.

Boyarskaya entered the RGISI in the workshop of Lev Dodin. Despite her famous surname, which for some reason aroused mistrust among teachers, Elizabeth showed talent. She was the best student in the course and was awarded a presidential scholarship.

Today, the actress’s filmography includes more than 60 film roles, a lot of colorful characters in the theater, and many professional awards and prizes. In 2018, Elizaveta Mikhailovna was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR.

Since his youth, the personal life of the Russian cinema star has been under the tireless surveillance of journalists and paparazzi.

Despite her bright appearance and increased attention from the opposite sex, there is not a single scandalous story associated with the name of the popular artist.

Boyarskaya men

The young actress’s first romance began with classmate Danila Kozlovsky. They were the most beautiful couple in the academy, called "Romeo and Juliet."

Development Serious relationships Lisa's strict father interfered. Under the influence of Mikhail Boyarsky, who rejected the candidate hand and heart, the couple broke up.

The next contender on the list was Sergei Chonishvili. Vivid and passionate feelings flared up between them. However ex-lover did not meet the criteria of Lisa’s father, who was categorically against such an age difference.

The new chosen one, Novosibirsk actor Pavel Polyakov, also turned out to be an unworthy match, according to the pope. The affair with Konstantin Khobensky, which was actively discussed in the press, was pure fiction of journalists.

Only the next relationship with the star of the film “Hipsters” was unanimously approved by the parents.

Boyarskaya Elizabeth's husband - Maxim Matveev

They met on the set of the film “I Won’t Tell,” where they played a couple who was going through a relationship crisis. The actors were so inspired by the script that they rehearsed together and went to flea markets, looking for the right props for the film.

Lisa liked Maxim earlier, after watching “Hipsters.” Therefore, when she found out who was chosen as her partner in the film, she was interested in getting to know each other.

The actors were so carried away by the story of their characters that they did not notice how a romance began between them. The situation was complicated by the fact that Matveev was married at that time.

When filming ended, Maxim began to divorce ex-wife Yana. Only after this they appeared as a couple at the premiere of the film “Admiral”.

The press immediately published publications that Boyarskaya stole her husband from a colleague. In fact, this marriage has long been bursting at the seams. A particularly exciting moment was when Maxim met Lisa’s parents.

However, Matveev turned out to be his daughter’s first gentleman, whom they warmly received. The lovers immediately spoke about their feelings, in response to hearing a blessing from Larisa and Mikhail.


In 2010, on July 28, the actors secretly signed at the registry office. The celebration was celebrated later, receiving congratulations from family and friends.

Maxim Matveev lost weight: before and after photos

After publishing an excerpt from the performance on Instagram, the artist’s subscribers and fans were shocked. Many noticed that in his new image he became a copy of Brad Pitt.

There are several versions of why the actor changed so much:
1. The first, most reliable - initially it was necessary to lose weight for the role of Vronsky. IN this moment The artist is involved in a production of the Tabakerka Theater called Kynaston, where he plays Desdemona.


The female character required an artist transformation. Maxim started losing weight, ate dried fruits, and pumped up his abs to make his body look sculpted.

2. The second assumption is that Matveev is seriously ill. According to some sources, he has problems with the liver and pancreas due to alcoholism.

It is believed that the actor is on the verge of nervous exhaustion. Neither one nor the other is confirmed by doctors. Moreover, he is in excellent physical shape.

3. Latest version- lose 20 kg within a month in a bet with a friend, an expensive Gelendvagen car is at stake. Maxim has a gambling nature, so he could well agree for the sake of such a win.

Boyarskaya divorced her husband

Publications about the divorce of a star couple appear regularly. However, today sources who are part of the close circle of spouses have radically different information.

Some argue that the couple not only did not break up, but are also waiting for an addition to the family. This version is confirmed by the canceled performances of both for the coming months, as the actors intend to take maternity leave.

Another truth is that Lisa and Maxim separated amidst a distanced family life. It is known that they live and work in different cities. Matveev in Moscow, Boyarskaya in St. Petersburg.

However, Lisa only laughs about this and says that they are entitled to bonuses from the rocket engine for constant travel.

Children

The son of the star couple was born on April 7, 2012. The boy was named Andrey. The birth of the baby did not prevent the actors from continuing their active professional activities. For a long time, Lisa’s parents helped the couple.

Recently, a nanny was hired for Andryusha, who teaches the child English and reading, and takes him to sports and music classes.

The couple devotes all their free time to their son. In September, information appeared that the actress was pregnant again.

Ex-wife Maxima Matveeva will become a mother at the end of summer

The ex-wife of Maxim Matveev will become a mother at the end of summer

The star of the "Tabakerka" theater, cameraman Lyusya Polynina from the series "Thaw" and the first wife of Liza BOYARSKAYA's current husband are all actress Yana SEXTE. In a few days she will turn 34, and in a couple of months she is going on maternity leave. Now “our Jodie FOSTER,” as fans nicknamed Yana, is five months pregnant.

At the end of last November Yana Sexte married a composer Dmitry Marin. For more than a year, the couple's friends watched their vibrant relationship. And they believed that the new gentleman would finally eclipse her ex-husband in the actress’s heart Maxim Matveeva, with whom she broke up several years ago. But in the theater corridors the topic kept coming up that Yana continued to love Max, and even he, already being the beauty’s husband Lisa Boyarskaya, towards his ex-wife he breathes unevenly. They whispered that “d’Artagnan’s” daughter was jealous of her husband’s love for Sexta, knowing that they continued to meet. And these meetings mostly take place in theater corridors (both work under the direction of Oleg Tabakov) and within the framework of charity projects in which they act as clown doctors for sick children. By the way, it was at the suggestion of Matveev that Sexta began to do this. Once an actor and teacher of the Moscow Art Theater Igor Zolotovitsky They asked us to hold a Christmas tree for children at the clinic.

The first person he met was his graduate and mine ex-husband Maxim Matveev, - restores the chronology of Yan’s events. “Igor Yakovlevich immediately told him: “You, Max, will organize this Christmas tree.” And Maxim, in turn, came home with the words: “Ian, tomorrow I’m leaving for three weeks on tour to Japan. You will take care of the Christmas tree.” That's all. I've been there ever since.

Sexte’s current husband also became a volunteer. Of course, following her example. Our heroine met Mitya, as she affectionately calls him, in the winter of 2012 in her native Tabakerka. Director Alexander Marin, Dmitry’s father, staged another play there - “Marriage 2.0”. It was he who attracted the heir to work on the play as the author of the music. He has already become famous for his talent in theaters in the USA and Canada.

A spark immediately ran between Yana and Dmitry, who is almost five years younger than her. For the sake of her beloved and at his request, Sexte even quit smoking. They also discovered common hobbies - football, and both support CSKA.

Maybe they would have continued to live without a stamp in their passport, but last fall the actress found out that she was pregnant. When I told Mitya about this, his happiness knew no bounds, and his first reaction to the great news was a marriage proposal. And just as emotionally, Yana answered “yes,” although after the breakup with Maxim she had a special attitude towards the institution of marriage - she was experiencing the separation too hard.

Favourite buisness

She met Maxim Matveev while working on the play “Forty-First. Opus Posth" at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. Sexte, an employee of Tabakerka, was invited to participate in this production. Before moving to Moscow, where the Latvian actress graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School, she had already shone on the stage of the Riga Drama Theater. And Matveev, also a graduate of the Studio School, at one time also studied at the acting department of the Saratov Conservatory.

Having met, both realized: they could not live without each other. Yana tenderly took Max under her wing. At first, the lovers lived together in a dormitory, and in 2008 they married and moved into a rented apartment.

And Matveev’s career took off sharply. After two jobs Valery Todorovsky(“Vise” and “Hipsters”), the charming guy was increasingly invited to act in films. Yana mostly disappeared in the theater and did not pursue fame: she wanted to do what she loved and bask in her husband’s adoration.

The fairy tale from the beautiful wedding photograph did not last long, Sexte sadly states. On the set of the film “I Won’t Tell” in Kyiv, Matveev met Boyarskaya. By that time, Lisa had experienced more than one stormy love story (she had vivid affairs with Danila Kozlovsky who is said to have married a Polish woman Urszula Mahlke in revenge after Boyarskaya chose someone else over him, and with the Novosibirsk actor Pavel Polyakov- I was even going to marry him). It all happened while filming in Kyiv with Max and Lisa... Returning to Moscow, Matveev did not deceive his wife, explained himself and rented another apartment for himself. He increasingly traveled to St. Petersburg, where he lived with his parents new love Lisa. And soon followed a divorce from Sexte, a wedding with Boyarskaya and the birth of their son Andrei (with this wonderful event, by the way, Yana was almost the first to congratulate Max). As Yana’s friends said, she will have a daughter.

Sexte was simply created to be a mother! She loves children! - the colleagues at Tabakerka say in one voice. “He loves all his patients in the hospital like family, worries about them with all his soul, and if trouble happens, he accepts it as a personal tragedy.

Despite her pregnancy and upcoming birth, Yana does not intend to leave the creative process for a long time. The repertoire of “Snuffbox” is based on it, and the shooting of the sequel to “The Thaw” is just around the corner. In general, there are a lot of plans. But the most important thing in her life now, of course, is her health and that of her baby.

The star of “The Thaw,” actress Victoria ISAKOVA (wrote on Facebook on the eve of leaving for the next tour):

“I really love leaving and coming back. Airports are fascinating. I like to arrive early. You can sit and watch people for hours. Here stands an adult man in a fur hat and says on the phone: “Mom, you’re complicating everything so much...” Well, I wonder what kind of life he has if at the age of 45 it’s his mother who “complicates” it? Here is a couple with a child: he is like processed cheese, and she is like flint. “If you don’t shut up now, I’ll leave you here,” he hisses at the child. A young guy with a laptop with headphones laughs so sincerely that I look at him and smile too. A very beautiful girl sits alone, very sad. It seems that someone is sending her somewhere. And then a man comes along, her man, and everything around her blossoms. Children are noisy, adults are noisy, the airport is noisy like a beehive. And it turns out that only here, in all this murmuring, bustling crowd, can I sit quietly, listen and not rush anywhere.”

Liza Boyarskaya faced a difficult task: she had to work hard to get out of the shadow of her famous father. At first, colleagues, hearing the girl’s last name, exchanged knowing glances, because she got many notable roles, and many attributed this fact to her star origin. However, after the release of a series of performances and filmed films with Lisa’s participation, everyone was convinced of her acting abilities.

Russian by nationality, Elizaveta was born in December 1985 in St. Petersburg. Her parents are people's artists of the country Larisa Luppian and Mikhail Boyarsky. She has a brother, Sergei, who is 5 years older.

There has always been a creative atmosphere in the Boyarskys' house, thanks to their parents and grandparents, who are actors. The girl's brother first appeared on set at the age of 4. The second role was played at the age of 12, in the film “The Musketeers 20 Years Later.” His parents had high hopes for him as a successor to the creative dynasty. Lisa, on the contrary, did not exhibit the cinema “disease.” She was more attracted to choreography, 13 years were devoted to jazz and classical dances. As a teenager, she studied at the St. Petersburg Model School.

At the age of 15, the girl accidentally ended up on a film set, where she received an invitation by phone call and didn’t refuse. The debut thriller was “The Keys to Death,” where Elizabeth played the role of a young drug addict Alice, the daughter of wealthy people. The shooting did not bring the desired impressions and the girl did not want to continue her acting career.

In middle school, Lisa was a mediocre student, but by the end of school she took her studies seriously. Tutors helped her solve gaps in her performance. The girl learned German and English languages, hoping that they will be useful in their future profession. During her school years, she was an activist, organizing themed and festive evenings, mistaking her talent for management. That's exactly how she defined it for herself future profession journalist.

As a high school student, she enrolled in preparatory courses at the institute, firmly deciding to enroll as a PR manager. But, after attending several classes, the girl lost all interest in her intended profession. And during the opening of the Theater on Mokhovaya, she realized that time flies unnoticed on the theater stage.

Her parents did not dissuade her from the theater university, but tried to explain all the “undercurrents” of such activity. Several months passed for Lisa in urgent preparation for exams at the Russian State Institute of Social Sciences. A well-known surname “helped” the applicant a lot during the exam, who, instead of 10 minutes, like everyone else, was asked for a whole hour. As a result, the girl was enrolled in the course of professor and People's Artist of Russia Lev Dodin. Boyarskaya turned out to be a capable student and received a presidential scholarship, and she was awarded a graduation diploma in 2007.

Elizabeth performed for the first time at the Maly Drama Theater while still a student. In the play “King Lear” by Dodin, the girl got the role of Gonerel. Theater critics were impressed by her performance and awarded her the Golden Spotlight Award. Upon completion of her studies, Boyarskaya joined the troupe of the Maly Drama Theater (Theater of Europe), where she played the following roles:

Since 2004, Lisa has not felt a shortage of offers from directors. She proved herself in the drama of German-Italian origin “Bunker” in the role of nurse Erna. The real breakthrough came in 2005. The actress played a girl in love, Tatyana, in the military-themed film “First After God,” for which she was nominated for the appropriate title “Breakthrough of the Year.” Also on set were:

• Victor Sukhorukov.
• Dmitry Orlov.
• Nina Ruslanova.
• Vladimir Gostyukhin.
• Yuri Stepanov.

In the same year, Lisa performed as Françoise Faberge in the drama “One Someone Else’s Life.” The historical picture greatly impressed the actress herself, who claims that the characters from the past are closer to her in spirit, in comparison with modern images.

The filmography of Liza Boyarskaya continued with the melodrama “You Won’t Leave Me” by Alla Surikova, the role of the girl Verochka. Transformation into an eccentric heroine, constantly crying or laughing, turned out to be difficult. In addition, the actress had to change her hair from a brunette to a red color. But for the sake of the role, she is ready to gain weight and lose weight, even shave her head, and completely change her appearance. Boyarskaya’s first candid scene with Alexander Baluev took place in the melodrama “You Won’t Leave Me.” 2006 was remembered for participation in the following list of films:

• "Park of the Soviet period."
• "Junker".
• "Storm Gates"

Success was also achieved in the filming of the project “The Irony of Fate. Continuation”, directed by Timur Bekmambetov. Of the main partners in the film, Sergei Bezrukov was noted.

Elizabeth really likes historical costume projects, but she refused to participate in the tragicomedy called “The Return of the Musketeers” in the image of Jacqueline (d’Artagnan’s daughter). During this period, she worked in the group on the blockbuster “Admiral”, acting as the lover of Admiral Alexander Kolchak. For this role, the performer was named laureate of the MTV Russia award.

Lisa played the main role with Maxim Matveev. This detective story received first place and the Golden Boat award at the Window to Europe film festival.

Later, in 2016, Boyarskaya appeared in the popular TV series “Drunk Firm.” At the beginning of 2017, viewers saw the drama “Anna Karenina” by Karen Shakhnazarov, again starring the duo Boyarskaya - Matveev, their characters - Anna and Count Vronsky. In addition to everything, the actress participated in the video “Heaven”, demonstrated by Valery Meladze.

The attention of many fans and journalists is riveted to the person of Elizabeth. The first time her personal life was discussed publicly was because of a relationship during her student years, when an affair began with Liza Boyarskaya and. Within the walls of the university they were jokingly called Romeo and Juliet. Soon the young people separated.

The actress's next chosen one was Sergei Chonishvili, whom Mikhail Boyarsky did not consider a worthy match for his daughter. Most likely, a significant age difference had an effect. Actor Pavel Polyakov was also not suitable for dad. After filming Lisa with Konstantin Khabensky in “Admiral” and “The Irony of Fate,” fans suspected a new romance between people, but these turned out to be empty rumors.

In 2009, when the film “I Won’t Tell” was filming, Boyarskaya met Maxim Matveev from the comedy “Hipsters.” A romance began, carefully hidden from the public, because the man was married to actress Yana Sexte. A year later, he divorced his wife, which passed calmly and without incident.

Already in the summer of 2010, Boyarskaya found herself married to Matveev. There was no magnificent wedding; the closest people were present. As expected, in 2012 news appeared about Elizabeth’s pregnancy, but with film set she didn't leave until the sixth month. Photos of the actress expecting a child appeared on Instagram. At the end of spring she became a mother and her son Andrei was born.

Happy grandfather Boyarsky gave the young family an apartment in St. Petersburg for the birth of his grandson. It so happened that M. Matveev lives in Moscow, works at the Moscow Art Theater. . Lisa does not leave her native St. Petersburg and her native theater, her parents, her home. There have been repeated rumors about the couple’s divorce, but the young people regularly appear together and have a happy family. At the beginning of 2017, Boyarskaya officially denied the separation from her husband in the “Reflection” program, saying that they were not going to get a divorce. Moreover, at the very end of 2018, a second baby appeared in the family - a boy, Grisha.

The child was not born on time, but grandmother Larisa Luppian convinces everyone that he is in excellent health. The new mother is in good condition and is already thinking about going back to work. The stage of the Theater of Europe awaits her at the beginning of 2019.

Public attention is focused on the appearance of Elizaveta Mikhailovna. The scar, located on her cheek, has remained with her since childhood. The actress does not get rid of it, considering it a “highlight”. As for plastic surgery on the nose, she says nothing and does not comment on rumors. The star is often credited with correcting her cheekbones and lips. But if you compare her photos in different years, no significant changes appeared.

When the beauty and young mother begin to be asked questions about plastic surgery, she only jokes that in a couple of decades she may turn to a specialist for help. The actress's weight is 52 kg, height - 170 cm. In the photo of Liza Boyarskaya with her husband Maxim Matveev, her excessive thinness is visible. The actress herself considers her appearance normal.

The star’s filmography was once again replenished in 2018 with two large-scale films. In April, the thriller “NO-ONE” was released - a joint Russian-Israeli project. Elizaveta played the girl Zina, the daughter of the secretary of the regional committee of the CPSU, who studies with the main character Vlad. The plot of the line describes a turning point in the history of the state in the 90s.

Already in the fall, the public saw the series “The Crow” on the NTV channel, where Boyarskaya got the foreground. main character Anna Vorontsova begins to investigate a complicated series of brutal murders. A girl, helped by a work colleague, gets on the trail of those who ordered a series of crimes - high-ranking officials in the government.

Just recently, the press discussed the marriage of one of the most famous actresses Russia - Liza Boyarskaya, and now the news has surfaced for general discussion that the couple have decided to divorce. Elizaveta Boyarskaya's husband (Matveev Maxim) is also an actor, but not as famous as his wife. Who is this man? Why did the couple decide to end their relationship?

Maxim's childhood

Maxim was born in the Kaliningrad region, the city of Svetly, on July 28, 1982. Unlike his wife, Elizaveta Boyarskaya’s husband grew up in a very ordinary family. His mother worked as a teacher.

His grandmother and grandfather made a great contribution to Maxim’s upbringing. My grandfather taught me perseverance, taught me to work, and constantly asked me to draw. The boy did not want to make new drawings, but he knew that according to the next “sketch” his grandfather would definitely make a toy. As they say, I puffed, but drew.

The grandmother instilled in her grandson a love of cinema and acting; she worked at the box office of a local cinema and always took Maxim to shows.

In 1992, Maxim and his mother moved to Saratov, where the woman found a new love. My mother’s husband was a sailor and immediately accepted Max as his own and did not love him any less when baby Volodya appeared in the family.

Choice of profession

At school, the guy stood out among the other students, he was hardworking, smart, and graduated from high school with a silver medal. During these years, Maxim Matveev was calm, even withdrawn, and had almost no friends. In high school, the spirit of rebellion began to awaken in him. The guy grew his hair long, and his favorite music was heavy metal.

In his early years, Maxim dreamed of becoming a surgeon; he wanted to help people. Later, the love for edged weapons did not fade away, but changed; instead of a scalpel, the guy began to consider a sword as a professional tool; he wanted to be a fencer.

Maxim began attending acting classes and took up drawing. Art was always present in him, and he did not understand that this was his life, his dream was to give beauty to people. But his parents did not share his hobbies and insisted on a profession in the world of law. The mother's dream was to see her son as a lawyer.

Place for the occasion

In the last academic year At school, Maxim Matveev decided to take part in a couples competition, which was held at the conservatory. There he was noticed by an acting teacher and offered to try his hand at the world of theater. The guy agreed, submitted documents and was able to immediately enroll in the second year of the Saratov Conservatory.

During his studies, Maxim was offered to take part in filming advertisements, music videos, and even adult films! But the guy rejected all the offers; he understood that he shouldn’t waste his time on trifles and smear his name with “dirty roles” from an early age.

After the conservatory, Maxim decided not to stop there and left Saratov, where he did not see much of a future. He went to enroll in the Moscow Art Theater and was able to get into the course of Igor Zolotovitsky and Sergei Zemtsov.

Career

Elizaveta Boyarskaya's husband could easily combine study and work. He was invited to play at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, where he got a permanent position in 2006. The most striking roles in the theater were played in the productions of "The Piedmontese Beast", "The Artist", "King Lear", " Ideal husband", "Cabal of the Saints".

Even while studying at the Moscow Art Theater, Matveev was offered various roles. One of the offers was to star in the television series “Poor Nastya”; the fee would be enough for a four-room apartment in the center of Moscow. But the guy decided to refuse, because he didn’t want to be remembered by the audience as another serial handsome man. He knew that the main roles were still ahead and continued to study diligently and play small roles in the theater.

Maxim's debut film role was in the film "Vise". After the success of the film, the guy was invited to play in the films “Hipsters”, “New Year’s Tariff”, “Exchange Wedding”, “On the Hook”, etc. Soon the name of Maxim Matveev became known not only to directors, but also to television viewers.

Life with Liza Boyarskaya

When he met Lisa, Maxim was married. His wife was his colleague on the Moscow Art Theater stage, Yana Sexte. The couple had been married for only a year; the young people divorced in 2009, when Max was already having an affair with Boyarsky’s daughter, which they carefully tried to hide from everyone.

However, soon the office romance grew into true love, and the couple legalized their relationship in 2010. Mikhail Boyarsky received his son-in-law well and gave the couple an apartment for their wedding. Matveev Maxim, in order to fit into the star family, began to work more.

The son of Liza Boyarskaya and Maxim Matveev, Andrei, was born in 2012. From that moment on, the young father became more serious, thoughtful and suggested that his wife invest money in real estate. So the family got a second apartment, where Lisa and her son moved.

Are Elizaveta Boyarskaya and Maxim Matveev getting divorced?

Some time ago, news appeared in the press that the couple had decided to divorce. Family acquaintances and work colleagues confirmed that Lisa and Maxim had been living separately for several months. They also said that the actors practically never appear together; Boyarskaya Elizaveta Mikhailovna celebrated her thirtieth birthday without her husband.

There are rumors that Lisa's father forbids his daughter and son-in-law to officially divorce and forces them to maintain the status of an ideal married couple. It is worth noting that Elizaveta Boyarskaya’s husband Maxim starred in “Anna Karenina” this year as Vronsky. Anna was played by Lisa. As Elizaveta Mikhailovna Boyarskaya says, they didn’t even have to play, because their love is real, and it’s always easier to portray passion with a husband than with a little-known partner.

Let's hope that Mikhail Boyarsky was able to save his daughter's marriage by prohibiting divorce. Perhaps the family problems are behind us and the couple is happy again.

Maxim Matveev is a maximalist and has no intention of changing. The actor longs to overcome difficulties in the profession, to do what is unusual, to create an image in which the public does not expect to see him.

When agreeing to a role, he looks at how exceptional the proposed character is. Maxim cultivated his own ideal of an artist, a person, in achieving which he is immersed in working on himself. And he enjoys it.

Maxim received a place in the cast of the film on the 6th attempt, and after the first auditions, Shakhnazarov completely crossed the candidate off the list, considering the actor’s performance weak.

The film about the dancer-adventurer was shot with the participation of American and French filmmakers. Matveev lived in San Diego for a month, where he improved his English at a language school. Upon completion of his studies, the actor received a certificate and showed off the corresponding photo on social networks. But the Japanese neighbor and the family that hosted Maxim never found out that they lived in the same house with the Russian film star.

In 2010, the couple legalized their relationship, and in 2012, Lisa gave birth to a son, Andrei. Maxim Matveev and Liza Boyarskaya were considered one of the most exemplary and touching couples in Russian show business, but in 2016 a rumor appeared that the actors had not been living together for several months and were preparing for divorce.

The press referred to an anonymous source in the St. Petersburg Maly Drama Theater, who claimed that the love in the married couple had come to naught. The same rumors were confirmed by the Moscow Art Theater, where Maxim plays, and they even complained about his worries due to problems in the family.

Elizaveta Boyarskaya openly said that the rumors were not plausible, but refrained from further comments. The situation was clarified by relative Ekaterina Boyarskaya. The woman told the press that doubts about the marriage of Matveev and Boyarskaya arise due to the fact that the actors live in 2 cities, because Elizaveta works at the MDT in St. Petersburg, and Maxim works at the Moscow Art Theater in Moscow.

Spouses see each other infrequently and it happens that they do not live together, but not because of faded feelings, but because of a busy work schedule.

“Lisa has a lot of baggage, which is difficult for her to shed and move to Moscow. And I’m a man, and for me work is even more important than for a woman. That's why we promised ourselves not to give up anything. Well, then, we understand that each of us has ambitions that are difficult to give up, and there is no need to do this.”

In their spare time, Lisa and Maxim go to see each other and spare no money or time for this.

According to Ekaterina, the couple is not only not divorcing, but is also seriously thinking about a second child, because, as time has shown, children do not at all interfere with the creative growth of actors. And indeed, in the fall of 2018, Maxim’s wife went on maternity leave. It is known that the family is expecting the birth of a second son.
