Ekaterina Klimova is one of the most sought-after Russian theater and film actresses. And this is not at all surprising. The girl is not only talented, but also incredibly beautiful. Looking at the slender figure of 36-year-old Klimova, it’s hard to believe that this fragile girl already has three children. And yet, it is so. Katya is raising her daughter Lisa from her first marriage with Ilya Khoroshilov and two sons - Korney and Matvey - from her union with her second husband, actor Vladimir Petrenko, with whom she recently broke up.
Getting back into shape after having three children is not easy. However, Katya was lucky: she coped with the task quite quickly and with relatively little effort. Although there was something to fight with. During her first pregnancy, the actress gained as much as 20 kg of excess weight! Work and her own physique helped her get back into shape.

In the first year, students were forced to imitate cats, dogs, and even plants. “It made everyone laugh. And if someone passed by on the street and looked through the window into the office, he probably thought that everyone had gone crazy,” said the actress.

Personal life of Ekaterina Klimova
The actress began dating her first husband, Ilya Khoroshilov, while still at school, at the age of 15. Everything went according to the usual scenario: a marriage proposal after graduation, a wedding, the birth of their daughter Lisa (the girl was born in 2002). But with the advent of popularity, discord began in Catherine’s family, but the actress could not even dream of taking the child and leaving her husband.

In 2003, on the set of the series “Moscow Windows”, the girl became close to an old acquaintance from school, Igor Petrenko. Even then, sympathy flashed between the young people, but they gave vent to serious feelings only while working on the sequel (“The Best City on Earth”). Both actors were married at that time, and for some time Katya tried to build a secret relationship, but in the end she got tired and briefly asked Igor: “That’s enough.” Why did all 3 marriages of Ekaterina Klimova break up? They didn’t see each other for a whole year. During this time, Petrenko managed to divorce his wife, and Ekaterina, forced to forcefully smile at her husband every day, was on the verge of divorce proceedings. And yet, Igor could not get thoughts of Catherine out of his head and, unable to bear it, he called the girl himself.
Family idyll of Ekaterina Klimova
A month later, the lovers began to live together. Katya’s parents were horrified, and Catherine’s first husband did not give up trying to win back his ex-wife and daughter, using the entire arsenal of tricks, from lush bouquets to threats to shoot the “groom.” But it was all in vain - the wedding of Ekaterina Klimova and Igor Petrenko took place exactly on the eve of 2005, December 31. There was no luxurious ceremony: the newlyweds were late to the registry office, showed up without rings, signed quickly and went to celebrate the New Year.

In her marriage to Petrenko, Ekaterina Klimova had two children: in 2006, a son, Matvey, and two years later, a boy was born, named Korney.

The union of Catherine and Igor was considered exemplary, often comparing their couple with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but at the end of 2014 the actress stunned fans with a statement about divorce. “Our relationship is in the past... We don’t have any disagreements,” Klimova commented on the news.
The marriage of Petrenko and Klimova lasted 10 years
Klimova did not remain in the status of a single lady for long. In the summer of 2015, the tabloids were full of headlines reporting the wedding of Ekaterina Klimova and Gela Meskhi. Catherine met this actor on the set of the series “Wolf Sun”.

Soon the name of Ekaterina Klimova’s fourth child became known. The actress named the girl she was born with the unusual name Bella. Children from previous marital unions remained to live with their mother and new father.

Plastic surgery ^
The celebrity speaks categorically negatively about plastic surgery. “There is one wrong thing that girls don’t talk about out loud, but it slips into the subtext. I'm talking about the modern tendency to alter some part of the body in order to please a certain person. But you can change yourself completely and still not become interesting to him! And what next - to reshape yourself for each new man? Never!" - says Klimova.
Fans are sure that Catherine does not need plastic surgery, because she is already a beauty. But in a recent interview, the actress, whose figure is a subject of admiration and envy, admitted that as a teenager she was dissatisfied with her appearance. She said she tried to enlarge her breasts by eating walnuts and cabbage.
“My friend Larisa and I, dreaming of getting better, ate walnuts, and someone else told us that they make breasts grow. They could eat a bag! Everyone was waiting for the effect, methodically measuring the parameters with my mother's tailor's centimeter. Then they added cabbage to help the nuts: the girls said it was the first remedy. Alas, for every friend’s “How are you?” I didn’t have an optimistic answer. The parameters were growing (after all, I was growing myself), but not very convincingly,” admitted Ekaterina.
She said that only years later she accepted herself for who she is and realized that she was naturally inclined to be thin. This quality helped the actress a lot - after all, she is the mother of four children, but this did not affect her figure in any way.
Ekaterina Klimova now
In 2021, Ekaterina Klimova starred in the continuation of the series “Angel Heart”, and was also involved in theatrical productions of “The Stingy”, “Boeing-Boeing” and “Conspiracy in English” at the Independent Theater Project and the Russian Army Theater.
In 2021, Ekaterina Klimova surprised fans with a new tattoo. In
the spring of 2021, television viewers were finally able to see the series “Wolf Sun” about a Soviet intelligence officer in Poland, who played a key role in the fate of Ekaterina and Gela. The actors demonstrated genuine love and passion, however, for Catherine the role turned out to be extremely emotionally draining - her heroine more than once had to balance on the brink of madness.
