His first wife was his age - Maria Verdnikova. He lived with her for eight whole years and emigrated to the USA, where they both looked for a better life in the 90s. In this marriage, Gordon had a daughter, Anna. After the divorce, he left ex-wife
and his daughter in America, and he himself went home. Already here in Russia he meets actress Nana Kiknadze, who becomes his common-law wife
for seven long years. This relationship was very difficult, but beautiful and with strong feelings.
, which turned into six years of married life. Ekaterina Gordon
She was 17 years younger than him, and they got married literally after a month of dating. He helped her make a career and loved her madly. But after some time, misunderstandings and domestic quarrels began to arise between them. Katya proposed a divorce and Gordon fulfilled his ex-wife’s wish in 2006.
After Catherine, the TV presenter remained alone for a long time and only in 2011 did he have a passion again. She again became a student, but this time - Nina Shchipilova. No one knew about this romance and marriage. Sasha hid this relationship for a long time, but still, at the beginning of 2012, he appeared in public with her.
With Nina Shchipilova
The press had just begun to discuss the loving couple when it leaked to the media new information that Gordon is born illegitimate daughter - Alexandra. It turns out that while he was married, the TV presenter began an affair with journalist Elena Pashkova, whom he met at a film festival in Odessa. The betrayal undermined Sasha’s relationship with his official wife. They divorced in 2013.
Together with Elena Pashkova
And only with his fourth official wife, Gordon finally found his happiness and settled down. And it’s okay that the spouse is 30 years younger than him, because they find mutual language, interests and they have a great relationship. As is known, his last love became Nozanin Abdulvasieva. She is a student at VGIK and has relatives who have achieved great heights in filmmaking.
Nozanin Abdulvasieva and Gordon
They got married in 2014, when Nozanin was already in interesting position and soon after the wedding she gave birth to her husband’s first son. They named him in honor of his father - Alexander. And three years later, the wife made her husband happy again second heir- Fedor.
After living in rented apartments for many years, 53-year-old Alexander Gordon finally got his own country house.
For famous TV presenter, director and actor, this event was significant for two reasons. Firstly, all these years he did not have his own corner and wandered around rented apartments. And secondly, a couple of months ago Alexander once again became a father - his 22-year-old wife Noza Abdulvasieva gave birth to their second child together.
In the popular Channel One show “Male/Female,” which Gordon is now co-hosting with Yulia Baranovskaya, Alexander always plays the role of a “strict policeman.” He does not coddle with the heroes, but cuts the truth in their eyes. So much so that it often offends people who come to the studio.
Those who are closely acquainted with Gordon assure that in life he is the same - harsh, meticulous and corrosive. They say that this is why his previous wives did not get along with him (the TV presenter is in his fourth marriage, not to mention his numerous previous affairs).
Even the construction of the house was slow - few could please the demanding taste of Alexander Garrievich.
“I calculated that in my adult life I have changed one hundred and one rented apartments,” Gordon once shared in an interview. - I didn’t have my own home. And then I thought: I’m already “fifty dollars” - I need to lay my head somewhere. I decided that I didn’t need an apartment - I could always rent one while I was working. And when I can’t, I want to live not in Moscow, but outside the city, in my own house. This became my dream, because after fifty it’s already difficult to wake up, because all your desires have already been exhausted: you open your eyes in the morning and don’t understand why.”
When the TV presenter divorced his young wife Nina Shchipilova in November 2013, and six months later married an equally young VGIK student Nozanin Abdulvasieva (granddaughter of the famous director, Honored Artist of Tajikistan and Russia Valery Akhadov) and found out about her pregnancy, the question of his own living space stood up very sharply.
Gordon assures that he then studied mountains of literature, talked with a dozen acquaintances who own country real estate, and made several important conclusions. In his opinion, a brick house is too expensive, a log house is somehow rustic, and a timber house is not entirely reliable.
“It is important that the house is not only durable, but also warm and quiet: I don’t want the neighbors to hear what’s going on with me,” Alexander meaningfully expressed his wishes. “I also want the two houses – the master’s and the guest’s – to be connected by a common living room.”
As a result, the search construction company dragged on for another year, but when young Noza became pregnant with her second baby, Gordon finally signed up for the grandiose project.
In January, Noza gave her husband a second son, and little Sasha- brother.
Especially for future home the TV presenter bought a plot of land on the banks of the Pestovsky reservoir, 30 kilometers from Moscow. And since then everything free time spent there, at a construction site.
It was decided to build the star mansion from a double volumetric frame in order to run all communications inside the walls, and not disfigure the landscape with protruding pipes and wires. In addition, this type of structure, according to Alexander, is stronger than brick and wood - it is not in danger of deformation.
“I grew up on the water all the time - either on Seliger or on the Volga, so I was looking for a similar place in the Moscow region,” Gordon shared. - When I found it, another question arose. It seems to me that one of the advantages of the house is its relevance to the landscape. That is, it should not be conspicuous. I wanted a small country house. I managed to achieve this: my house is practically invisible. I don’t like pretentiousness.”
Alexander Gordon, Noza and son Sasha Indeed, the TV presenter’s two-story mansion looks quite modest against the backdrop of its neighbors’ cool cottages. But Gordon’s roof is very unusual - in appearance it resembles the deck of a ship, where you can sunbathe.
IN guest house two bedrooms and a spacious living room, and in the master (among all others necessary premises) Gordon took special care to create his Personal Area. There he installed a massive and expensive work desk, a comfortable sofa, many bookshelves and a rocking chair.
They say that Alexander and his family celebrated a housewarming party on the eve of the New Year. Although in January, when Noza gave her husband a second son, the family lived in Moscow for some time. And now, when little Fedor Having grown up a little, Gordon was busy improving the site so that in the summer his missus could calmly spend time with the children in the fresh air.
