An amazing woman, with a bewitching voice, with lyrics that "sneak up goosebumps." Thanks to her faith, her energy and talent, Elena Vaenga was able to win the hearts of millions of listeners of different ages and generations. During her career, Elena has written more than 750 songs.
The real name of the singer and songwriter is Elena Vladimirovna Khruleva. The idea to perform on stage under the name Vaenga was suggested by the singer's mother. By the way, this is the name of the river in the native town of the poetess. The city itself also bore this name for a long time, until it was renamed Severomorsk.
At first glance, it is rather difficult to determine what height, weight, age, how old Elena Vaenga is. Maybe it's also because the singer sometimes has a mixed repertoire, "heartfelt" songs. Elena Vladimirovna this year, at the end of January, celebrated her forty-first birthday. The height of the poetess is 176 centimeters, and her weight is 63 kilograms.
As a child, the girl attended a sports school, went to dances, in the future it helped her to keep herself in great shape.
Elena Vaenga photos in her youth and now differ significantly: one can observe how the stage image of the girl changes with popularity.
The biography of Elena Vaenga was quite difficult. Since childhood, Elena's day was scheduled by the minute: in addition to the main school, she also attended music and ski schools.
At the age of nine, the girl wrote her first song, later she managed to play a piece of music on the piano from memory after her father. Her father, Vladimir Khrulev and mother, worked together at a plant that repaired nuclear submarines. The family also brought up a younger sister, Tatiana, and a half-sister, Nina, a daughter from Vladimir's first marriage.
After graduation, the girl goes to St. Petersburg to fulfill her dream of becoming an actress. At first there was a music school, then a theater academy, from which she leaves in order to record her first album in Moscow. Under the pseudonym Nina, Elena recorded a video, but it was never shown on television.
The young singer signed a contract, according to which she had practically no voting rights - everything was decided by her producer Stepan Razin. Vaenga, having received the first bitter experience in show business, runs back to St. Petersburg. Razin, taking advantage of the situation, distributed her songs among other performers, which later become hits.
In 2000, Elena graduated from Velyaminov's courses with a degree in dramatic art, later playing in the play Free Couple.
Thanks to Ivan Matvienko, who became the artist's producer for a long time, in 2003 her first solo album, entitled "Portrait", was released. The people's artist began to be noticed and invited to various performances and competitions.
Two years later, they record and release another album, many of the songs from which instantly become hits. The popularity of the singer is growing every day, she began to be called the "Queen of Chanson".
Vaenga's songs were awarded the Golden Gramophone award three times, for five years in a row she won first place in the contest for the singer of the year, which was held by Chanson of the Year. She began to give concerts abroad, often visited Germany and Israel, where there were also many fans of the artist.
In the work of Elena there was a forced break due to damaged ligaments of the poetess. Vaenga took part in the festival "Slavianski Bazaar", was a member of the jury in a popular music show.
Three years ago, the singer recorded another album and performed with a solo program in the Kremlin.
The personal life of Elena Vaenga did not always develop as the singer would like. However, she is still grateful to her first common-law husband, Ivan Matvienko. For sixteen years, he was not only her favorite person, but also the person who managed to make Elena a famous artist and singer not only in Russia, but also abroad. At one time there were even rumors that the girl was a gypsy, she knew the gypsy language, dances and their customs so well. In honor of her ex-husband, she named her son Ivan.
At the moment, Elena is a happy wife and mother. Together with their spouse, they devote a lot of time to work. The singer, smiling sweetly, always laughs off annoying journalists who are trying to find out the details of the artist's personal life.
Today, the family of Elena Vaenga is her parents, husband and beloved son Ivan. Most of the time, his grandparents are engaged in raising a child, because of the tight concert schedule, the singer is rarely at home. Elena is very grateful to them for the attention and care they show to her and her son. As a token of gratitude, every winter, a loving daughter and mother sends her relatives to her friend on the warm peninsula of Cyprus - to relax and improve their health.
Elena Vaenga, as a deeply religious person, is grateful to God that he gave her a son and gave her the opportunity to experience all the joys of motherhood. In her youth, she worked for some time as a music teacher in the piano class at school, it was easy and interesting for her to work with children.
The children of Elena Vaenga can probably be considered as plans for the future, because now she is raising her only son, Vanechka. The actress gave birth to a child when she was thirty-four years old. Pregnancy and childbirth caused a wave of gossip, and a lot of rumors among journalists and Elena's fans. And the thing is that at first no one could say for sure who the real father of the boy was: the former common-law husband or another man. Doubts were dispelled by the celebrity herself, stating that her work colleague is the biological father.
Elena Vladimirovna adores her child and, in order to stay with him longer, quite often takes him on tour with her. So Vanya gets used to backstage life from childhood.
The former civil husband of Elena Vaenga - Ivan Ivanovich Matvienko - is twenty years older than his chosen one. Their acquaintance happened when the girl was only eighteen years old. Despite such a big difference in age, they had a stormy romance that lasted sixteen years. Lena's parents were categorically against this relationship: they were horrified by the age of their daughter's chosen one, and also by the fact that he was a gypsy. However, Vaenga showed firmness of character and, having quarreled with her relatives, she went to live with Matvienko. Whether Elena was the reason for Ivan's divorce from his first wife, by the way, their joint daughter is two years older than Vaenga, is not known for certain.
Despite all the hardships of life, Ivan and Elena were happy together. The husband turned out to be a caring, sensitive and exemplary family man. In those difficult times, he did everything possible to feed his family, pay for their rented accommodation, and so that his beloved wife had the opportunity to pursue her career. Ivan earned money by transporting cars from Germany.
The yellow press has repeatedly "bred" a married couple, the poetess always reacted negatively to such publications. As a result, in 2012, Matvienko himself announced that their family union had broken up.
Ivan and Elena still maintain friendly relations, they even live on the same landing and go to each other sometimes to drink tea.
Elena Vaenga's husband, Roman Sadyrbaev, is six years younger than his wife. The young man was born and raised in Krasnodar, in a family of musicians. Moved to St. Petersburg to continue his studies at the university. As a student, he begins to work in the team of Svetlana Surgaeva. Since Roman is not just a drummer, but a musician who knows how to play various musical instruments, he is lured into the Vaenga team by her producer.
For a long time, no one in the team even suspected any relationship between the singer and the drummer. At rehearsals and concerts, they behaved as usual, without showing signs of attention to each other. On tour, they filmed separate numbers, did not appear together in public. Elena hid her pregnancy to the last, performing with concerts in different cities. Even having already given birth to a child, she did not voice her father's real name, so journalists and fans were sure that he was Matvienko.
Vaenga's colleagues began to guess what was happening, but did not expand on this matter. Fans of the poet's work learned the whole truth much later.
Elena and Roman, after the birth of their first child, immediately began to live together, but, again, without advertising it. Officially, the couple legalized their relationship only four years later, after the birth of the baby - in 2016.
At first, Roman's mother helped the spouses - she sat with her grandson with pleasure, and then Elena's parents joined in.
Many fans of the singer's work are sure that they will never see a photo of Elena Vaenga in Maxim magazine - no matter how much they would like to. Elena Vladimirovna is a believer, so appearing in a magazine that was originally intended for a male audience, and even naked, is not about a great poetess.
In 2012, the chanson performer reacted positively to the decision to start a lawsuit against a group that sang the song “The Virgin, Drive Putin Out” in the temple, believing that by this act they offend the feelings of Christians. Seeing such a reaction, we can assume that candid photos of the honored artist will never appear either on social networks or in glossy magazines.
Elena Vaenga generally does not like to talk about her backstage life, she shares family pictures. Consequently, even if there are photos where she is in a bathing suit, it is only in the home album, for the closest people.
Initially, Elena Vaenga's Instagram and Wikipedia are officially registered pages on the Internet. Wikipedia contains the main facts from the life of the artist, and instagram contains more extensive information. But even there, do not expect to find a million pictures of Elena with her family, and even more so with a child, a maximum of a couple of three photos.
Before completely deleting the account from the social network, the artist pleased her subscribers with a picture where she had a short haircut and lost a couple of kilograms. Elena argued her decision by the fact that she wants to answer all the messages and questions from fans, but simply does not have time to do it physically. Therefore, in order not to offend anyone, I simply deleted my page. You can find out about upcoming concerts, recording new albums or just look at the photos of the singer from performances on her official website.

The childhood years of the future singer passed in the village of Vyuzhny, where her parents worked. When the girl was three years old, relatives noticed that her daughter had a good ear and a sense of rhythm. But it was simply impossible to seat her at musical instruments - Lena could not sit quietly in one place. To force her daughter to study music, and later to learn lessons, her parents had to use a corner and a belt in her upbringing.
At school, the future artist was more friends with boys than with girls. She played football, fought constantly and came home with bruises and abrasions. The father tried to accustom the obstinate daughter to discipline, giving her hours and minutes of time for exercises, schoolwork, games, visiting circles and doing homework.
Since Lena did not complain of fatigue, and her energy was in full swing, her parents sent her to study at a music school and had nothing against her daughter also studying in the sports section.
Having received a certificate of secondary education, the girl left for the city on the Neva, where her grandmother lived, to become a student at the Rimsky-Korsakov Music College. Elena's dream came true - she continued to study the technique of playing the piano, but the initial level of training affected her skills. At the school, the girl was not the best on the course, she studied mainly for solid "fours", but with her diligence and hard work won the hearts of teachers. From the second year Khruleva was transferred from the paid form of education to the budget.
Elena's musical education was not enough. After graduating from college, she wanted to make another childhood dream come true - to learn acting. Of all the theater schools in the country, Khruleva chose the St. Petersburg Theater Academy. However, she studied at LGITMIK for only two months - an invitation from Moscow followed to record a music disc, and Elena dropped out of school.
Interesting Notes:
There was a problem with the disc. Producer Stepan Razin, who promised to record the first album at the highest level, let us down, moreover, he sold Elena's songs to other performers, but the girl did not want to sue him.
Returning to St. Petersburg, Elena went to study at the theater department of the Baltic Institute of Ecology, Politics and Law. But, having received a second higher education, she returned to music.
In 2003, Elena, who took the pseudonym Vaenga (this is the name of a river near the singer's hometown), recorded her first album called "Portrait". The disc was not very popular, but in St. Petersburg the young singer was noticed and began to be invited to various competitions and festivals.
The popularity and love of listeners for the young performer came in 2005, when the album "White Bird" was released. It included such well-known compositions as "I wish", "Taiga", "Airport". Almost all of them became hits, and journalists began to study the phenomenon of Elena Vaenga, who achieved serious success without the participation of production centers, venerable composers and prosperous relatives.
Music critics secured the title of “Queen of Russian chanson” for Elena, and the song “Smoke” in 2009 brought the performer the first award in one of the Golden Gramophone nominations.
The following year, the tracks "Airport" and "Absinthe" collected many awards. In the wake of growing popularity, the singer began to be invited on tour to the countries of the former CIS, to Israel, to Germany.
Having plunged into a stormy concert activity, agreeing to almost all offers to perform in front of an audience, the singer almost paid for such zeal. In 2012, Elena Vaenga damaged her vocal cords and practically could not sing. But the pause benefited the performer - she gave birth to a child, restored her strength and ligaments, and since 2013 she has returned to the clip of the best artists. Vaenga recorded several successful tracks, sang in a duet with Intars Busulis and Alexander Malinin, performed at the Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk.
In 2014, the singer became a member of the jury of the television show "Just Like" on the air of Channel One, and in 2015 she gave a solo concert in the Kremlin Palace. The performance program included successful hits and songs from the new album.
In 2016, the singer took part in the gala concert of the "Chanson of the Year" award, which was broadcast by Channel One and performed in the New Year's concert "NON-blue light".
The singer planned to spend 2017 on a tour in the cities of the Russian Federation and neighboring countries, but many concerts had to be noted due to health problems. Having overcome the consequences of the flu, having a good rest and gaining strength, Elena Vaenga is ready for new challenges.
The first time Lena fell in love at the age of five with the boy Dima, but he tried to attract the attention of his peer Albina and did not notice Khruleva. At the age of sixteen, the future singer sighed for the guy Maxim, but he did not reciprocate, preferring the beautiful Diana.
The singer met her first common-law husband, Ivan Matvienko, in 1995 while studying at a music school. The acquaintance grew into a more trusting relationship, but Ivan, a gypsy by birth, was not accepted by Elena's relatives. The girl showed her character and, contrary to her relatives, moved to her lover.
Matvienko tried in every possible way to support his wife: both morally and financially. He was looking for money to record albums, stage costumes, and promote Elena's songs on the radio. However, despite the ideal relationship, the couple broke up in 2011. According to the singer, the reason for the gap was the absence of children. Elena has maintained friendly relations with Ivan, they live in neighboring apartments in the same house and continue to communicate.
In 2012, Vaenga gave birth to a son, naming him Ivan. The father of the child was not Matvienko, as many thought, but Roman Sadyrbaev, a member of the singer's musical group. Due to Elena's busy touring schedule, grandparents are involved in raising the child.
Elena Vaenga tries to regularly share news from her life with her account subscribers on the Instagram social network.
