What nationality is Martirosyan’s wife? Garik Martirosyan biography, personal life, family, wife, children - photo. Personal life of Garik Martirosyan and political aspirations

The star status has not changed at all. The same as he was nineteen years ago when we met, he remains the same. But I had to tame my character.

I'm a serious person. Judge for yourself: I dreamed of becoming an investigator, a criminologist. My grandparents were surgeons, and there were medical reference books and anatomical atlases everywhere at home. I read manuals on craniotomy like adventure novels. I won’t faint at the sight of a corpse. In general, I entered the law school in Stavropol, studied textbooks on criminal law, and walked towards my goal step by step. She also played on the KVN student team.

My dad, Viktor Morisovich Levin, had his own business in Sochi - optical stores, so I grew up in a wealthy family. Mom is an economist, worked in the city administration. Of course, they wanted their only daughter to marry successfully and live nearby. And suddenly I meet a guy from the KVN team “New Armenians”, from Yerevan! But what if it was love at first sight?! It was as if something had struck my heart.

Garik and I walked along the beach and talked. And I suddenly had the feeling that this was absolutely “my” person: dear, sincere, warm. But he immediately turned on common sense: I need to finish my studies, he will leave for Yerevan, we don’t have any common future. Garik also laughed at my dream. “The woman is an investigator! - he laughed. “They’ll kill you!”

The next morning I left for Stavropol for a session and didn’t even leave my phone number. Cell phones were rare in 1997, no one had heard of social networks at all, and Garik could not find me. We met only a year later, at the next KVN festival. He was so happy when he saw me! He complained: “Zhanna, why are you lost? I’ve been thinking about you for a year, I miss you!” He was so excited, sweet... He seemed like a very reliable person.

- Is this really the case? appearance could you determine?

Garik always behaves very naturally, he doesn’t show off at all. Maybe that’s why I immediately believed him. Thank God, my intuition did not let me down. In general, I fell in love. I just couldn't breathe without him. Gar met my parents, then we flew to meet his family.

Now, of course, I have a very good idea of the situation our parents found themselves in. If my daughter Jasmine told me: “I fell in love with a guy - I’m leaving with him for Murmansk!” So what should I do? I’ll go crazy, worry, bite my nails, but I’ll have to let go. Otherwise he will say later: “Mom, you broke my fate.” What if he goes and doesn’t work out? She will scold me again: “Why didn’t you stop? You shouldn’t have let me in!”

And how should we live correctly so that we can be together until the end of our days - in sorrow and in joy? Is there such a recipe? Some people live a couple of years and run away. And others spend their entire lives hand in hand. What does this depend on? From character? Don't think. Both the husband and the wife can be a good person, but it is not their destiny to be together, and no one is to blame for this. But it happens the other way around: both the wife is imperfect and the man is so-so - but they live in perfect harmony.

Perhaps I believe in fate: either you meet “your” person or you don’t. I remember we were sitting at the Sochi airport, waiting for our flight to Yerevan - we were going to see Garik’s parents. I’m twenty-one years old, and I’m terribly worried: how will they receive me? Will you like me?

Yerevan is a stunning, magical and very sunny city. In the evening we walk around the center of the capital of Armenia, they recognize Garik and smile. A week passes, a month passes. Everyone already knows about us! Garik a famous person, captain of the “New Armenians” team. And here he is, a local, one might say, celebrity, eligible bachelor, brought a Jewish bride from Sochi. Not a very common case in Yerevan.

And romance begins, real relationships begin, endless flights: Yerevan - Sochi, Sochi - Yerevan - and so on throughout the wonderful crisis year of 1998.

- Was it difficult to adapt to Armenia? New culture, new friends...

There were difficulties with the language. I didn’t understand Armenian at all then. Moreover, everyone is so emotional, loud - they shout, gesticulate, everyone’s energy is just over the edge.

I went to the store. The seller asked something in Armenian. I said I don't understand. She immediately switches to Russian:

And where are you from?

From Sochi.

ABOUT! I live in Sochi...

And let’s list all our Sochi relatives: “on such and such a street is Uncle Karen, and on this street is Aunt Liana.” She talked for about fifteen minutes, as if we had known each other very closely for a long time, and not meeting each other for the first time. So, in terms of temperament and energy, Armenians are somewhat similar to Odessa residents - open-hearted, amazing people, lovers of life and humorists. I know first-hand about Odessa residents - my grandfather Maurice Alexandrovich is from Odessa. Then he moved to Abkhazia and from there to Sochi. I simply adore my native Sochi! My Sochi is a multinational city. Armenians, Georgians, Tatars, Russians, Jews, and Adygeis live peacefully there and are friends. And for me it has always been important what kind of character and upbringing a person has, and only then - where he is from and what nationality. In addition, I consider myself not only Jewish and Russian, but also Soviet man. We were all born and raised in the USSR!

When we went to the hospital to meet Jasmine Surenovna - she is a gynecologist, Doctor of Science - I bought a bouquet of roses. I had never seen Garik’s mother before, but one day, you won’t believe it, I dreamed about her. I tell my future husband about this:

I saw your mother in a dream.

And what is she like?

Blonde, of course.

And here we are in the hospital. I notice: in the hall on the wall there is a huge group photo of all the doctors of the hospital, fifty women. I look at their faces - and suddenly I recognize the one from my dream!

Here's your mom! - I say to Garik.

He is shocked:

Wow! How did you know?

I told you: I dreamed about her.

Jasmine Surenovna came out, I handed her flowers, we hugged warmly. Never by word or hint did she let me know that she doubted her son’s choice. Although now I sometimes put myself in her place: my grown son brings home a girl with a different worldview and mentality. How should I feel about this?

I myself, of course, didn’t really understand then what was waiting for me. We are very young, nothing special. But does it really matter when it's love? Remember how in the famous film: “To become a general, you have to marry a lieutenant and travel with him to the garrisons...” So I went “to the garrisons.”

“We won’t take money from our parents,” the husband said before the wedding. - We'll earn it ourselves.

But parents, yours and mine too, are ready to help...

Thanks to them, of course, but no! Me myself.

Garik, as I remember now, borrowed three hundred dollars from friends for the first time. And we went on tour with “New Armenians”. Of course, my husband and I are like thread after needle.

- You could stay at home with your parents, let your husband earn money.

Come on! I’m in Sochi, he’s traveling - and what kind of family is this? To make it clear: touring is not going on a business trip for a week. A month and a half of continuous “combing” in small and large cities. Then five days off - and again on the road. There is little romance in this. But at twenty-one it seemed: oh, an adventure, I’ll see the world! I traveled with the “New Armenians” all over the planet - from Los Angeles to Vladivostok, from Hamburg to Alma-Ata! And as for everyday difficulties - with a dear one, as they say, heaven is in the hut.

“Paradise”, however, turned out to be the same. There are ten guys on the team. Everyone speaks Armenian. They are having fun, laughing, but I don’t understand a word. Garik, noticing my confusion, asks his comrades:

Guys, let's speak Russian - Zhanna doesn't understand.

Yes, sure. Garik, dear, let's switch to Russian.

Our guys only had enough for about five minutes - then they switched to native language, just automatically. And I decided to learn Armenian. I bought an Armenian phrasebook - what can you do? I started learning: I write out the words, I cram them behind the scenes. The first word I remembered was “sanr”, comb. The guys always ran and shouted before the performance: “Sanr! Sanr!

And if only there weren’t enough combs! The hotels that the organizers of Kaveanov's tour checked us into were absolutely different levels. Sometimes these were cool hotels, and sometimes the most modest ones: the toilet is on the floor, the shower does not work, the radiators are barely warm.

The guys were nervous and tried their best. We had to warm the kettles and help each other wash their hair.

It seems that it was Krasnoyarsk - on the calendar it’s January, outside the window it’s minus thirty, I wake up in the morning, and my long hair everyone was covered in frost and stuck to the iron headboard of the bed. Magic Honeymoon! It is clear that sadness sometimes rolled in, but Garik was right there: “Zhanna, everything will be fine!” Autumn gave way to summer, spring to winter, and we all toured.

- Of course, you haven’t thought about adding to your family in such conditions?

I really wanted to. But the internal stop valve was working - how is that possible in such and such a state of disarray? One day Garik said that it was time to move to Moscow: in the capital more possibilities. I thought: okay, maybe I’ll have my own home there?

And he appeared - a removable one-room apartment on Suschevsky Val. In a very old building. No renovation, no curtains, no TV. My mother taught me that a woman should create comfort. I went to the store, bought the cheapest fabric and sewed curtains. I hung it up, walked away, looked - now I can live.

One day we returned from another tour and the whole apartment was covered in green mold: the sofa, the floor, the walls. It turned out that a month ago our upstairs neighbors flooded us hot water. Nobody told us. And the apartment turned green. We didn’t even have the strength to swear, and at whom? We sat down in silence and drank tea. Then, just like that, without saying a word, they stood up. I took out baking soda and detergent and began to scrub and wash: the walls, the sofa, the floor...

It was still funny incident. Garik still cherished the dream of walking to the station: “The apartment is on Suschevsky Val - not far from Rizhsky. And in the summer, when we go to the festival in Jurmala, we will walk to the station directly from home. Beauty! Previously, it took a long time to get there - by bus, by metro...”

And then a happy day comes. It's summer, we have train tickets. We went out and went as we dreamed. Suddenly - grunt! - the wheel of the suitcase breaks. Poor Garik has to carry this heavy trunk on himself. The road seemed like an eternity. “This is the worst road to the station in my life!” - Garik sighed.

We bought groceries at the supermarket and crawled home with bags - there was no car yet. I remember how terribly my hands were frozen, accustomed to the warm Sochi climate. The police regularly stopped us and checked our registration. They found fault: “You have a square seal, but you need a round one. Let’s go to the police station - well, or pay...” All the guys from our Armenian team were harassed.

- Have you ever worked in your profession?

I tried. I got a job at one company and quit after a few months. I didn’t have time to do anything: I had to clean the house, do the laundry, cook dinner. The most annoying thing is that our schedules did not coincide. I have an office job, from nine to eighteen. And Garik creative person, “owl” - writes jokes in the evening and at night almost until the morning, then sleeps a little and goes to the office. He always doesn't have enough time. With his workload being so busy, we almost stopped seeing each other. And one day Garik very calmly but firmly said: “Zhanna, we have to choose. Either you work, or we are building a family. Think well".

I thought: in principle, Garik is right, in such conditions the family will not last long. We've survived five years of endless touring - and now we're going to run away because of my work? I didn’t want this at all, and I chose family. Something in life has to be sacrificed.

My husband is a crazy workaholic. He once said: “Food is a waste of time.” One day we ran into a restaurant with him for a snack. Garik orders himself a piece of “Napoleon”, and while we wait, he answers phone calls, looks at email on the laptop - in general, he usually works on the go. The waiter brings dessert - and Garik stuffed almost his entire piece into his mouth in one fell swoop. He chewed it, swallowed it and then pounded on the keys. And after some time, taking a sip of coffee, he suddenly said thoughtfully:

For some reason they don't bring the cake...

Garik, you already ate it!

Are you kidding?!

So Comedy Club for Garik - that’s all, he lives by it. Do you know how it all started? Artak Gasparyan and Tash Sargsyan, Martirosyan’s comrades in the New Armenians, came up with the idea of holding parties in Moscow clubs - this is how the Comedy Club appeared. And Arthur Janibekyan, one of the founders and director of the team, also suggested broadcasting it on TNT. Then, eleven years ago, no one could have thought that the club show would turn into a grandiose and large-scale project - programs, their own films... They were scolded for harsh jokes. And these jokes were only at first to provoke the audience. Now salty humor is rarely included. Now Comedy Club is so different that it cannot be described in two words; every viewer will find something interesting and funny for themselves.

By the way, I have never heard my husband swear. Never with me. But he pesters me with his jokes. At Comedy, they write their own texts, Garik composes at night at the computer, and then asks me: “Zhanna, listen.” I am his first listener and critic. Torments at two in the morning: “Is this funny? What about this?” Well, imagine how I would work as a lawyer or investigator?

One of our closest friends is Pasha Volya. Like Garik, he is a workaholic and is all about work. I asked him:

What, Pash, aren’t you getting married?

There is no good girl.

He is a homely person by nature, he dreamed of a family, but he never met real love. All the guys who went on tour in their bachelor youth constantly met girls in the cities they visited. But these were short “novels about nothing.” Crowds hung on Pasha, but he dreamed of dear soul- a woman who will support and understand. And finally Volya met Laysan - he carried her and the children in his arms. I really love this couple. I love Garika Kharlamov, about whom we joke that he is the only native Muscovite in the Comedy Club - the rest have come in large numbers. He, too, finally found his soul mate - Christina, a loving and sunny girl.

Now all the guys from Comedy have wonderful families, and I will say this: than better than wife for residents, the cooler the guys work. Almost all of us are married. One of the old-timers Timur Batrutdinov single, everything will not be determined. Although there are a dime a dozen who want to marry him. It became especially big after he and Garik somehow got on the Forbes magazine list about eight years ago. Allegedly oligarchs! Timur's good flat- but not a palace and a car - not a Maybach, everything is much more modest, and he got into Forbes! They read it and they just died laughing, and Batrutdinov most of all: “Garik, Arthur, you are producers - and where are my billions?!”

Garik is also not an oligarch; he doesn’t pump oil. Humor, of course, brings money, we even finally bought an apartment - spacious, in a very good area. But, for example, Vacation home, which we have been dreaming about for a long time, we cannot afford yet. True, Garik promises: “Everything will be” - and I believe him.

Comedy Club has changed our lives a lot. More opportunities have appeared. More friends. And everything is as before. And Garik is still the same. Our friends are from the same circle, the same people who were around almost eighteen years ago, when our family just started.

I know for sure: in order to write and film funny sketches, Garik must be happy. Therefore, I defined the task for myself as follows: to support my husband good mood. Moreover, it is not difficult, Garik is an optimist in life and is not a bore. True, as a doctor by first education, he is very meticulous in matters of children’s health. As soon as Jasmine (daughter is eleven) or Daniel (son is six) gets a little cold, Gar starts calling every five minutes:

How's the temperature?

You and I were just talking - the temperature cannot drop so quickly.

Oh, well, yes...

Ten minutes later the call comes again:

Well, what about the temperature?

Garik! I gave the medicine. Work calmly, everything is fine.

I forbid children to tell dad that their tummy hurts or a rash has popped up - first tell mom, and then I’ll decide whether dad needs to know. Sometimes it’s easier to leave Garik in the dark than to answer his nervous calls all day.

There is no need to bother him with problems at home. Although the last word, of course, always behind him. I constantly praise: men also love with their ears. I write him text messages: “I love you.” For me, Garik is the best in everything. Sometimes I can lose my temper like a woman - it happens to everyone.

Just recently I attacked my husband because of nonsense - he threw his jacket on the sofa.

Is it difficult to hang in the closet? And he scattered his socks! - And Garik doesn’t like it when people raise their voices. He looked at me like that. I immediately began to count to myself to ten, calmed down and said: “Oh, why am I yelling like in the forest?” There don't seem to be any deaf people here. Did some kind of fly bite?

Garik’s look immediately became completely different, he laughed:

Make sure that no one else bites you, otherwise I will bite you.

Martirosyan, fortunately, is easy-going and unforgiving.

- Do you manage the house yourself?

Basically yes. But there is an au pair - Gaya, she is from Yerevan. I heard stories that someone’s nannies were stolen from, so when Gaya appeared in our house, I started checking on her: either I’ll “forget” the money in a visible place, or I’ll put a ring. Gaia brings: “Zhanna, here is your thing, I found it.” Never let me down. Now she is like family to us.

- Didn’t you want to “check” your spouse somehow?

Never. It is pointless. And my advice to all women is to think carefully before getting into your husband’s phone. For example, I never get into Garik’s phone. True, he has a password there, but I know this password! Fortunately, Garik and I trust each other very much and, moreover, there was no situation that made me doubt my husband. And I was also very lucky - Garik is not on any social network, and life is easier this way. Both for me and for him. Life is already too short to waste it on jealousy.

You just need to be able to be happy and enjoy life, because when real trouble happens, then you understand: where are the little things, and where is the real grief.

Four years ago I lost my beloved dad. He had health problems. I even shouted at him:

You must take care of yourself!

And he answered:

Zhannusik, don't worry. I will live as long as I have been given.

It all ended sadly, the disease simply devoured him. But I didn't know about it. Garik and I were already living in Moscow, my father called from Sochi: “I’m fine, I’m taking my pills.” Then he called from the hospital: “I passed the tests, everything is fine. The doctors said they would treat him and let him go.” The voice sounded cheerful. And two days later I’m sitting on the set of the Comedy Club, Garik is performing on stage. And suddenly a call from Sochi hit me like a blow to the head: “Your father is no more.” And then there are bitter thoughts that will now never go away: why didn’t I fly immediately as soon as I found out that he was in the hospital? Why didn't dad tell you how bad he felt? Could I have changed something, extended his days?!

I went up to Garik and told him about our grief. He turned pale. But you can’t cancel filming, you can’t say: “We have a misfortune here, go home.” I worked through the program as best I could, and at night we flew to Sochi to say goodbye to my father. We held hands the whole way.

Every family has its own idea of happiness. People are all different. There are many recipes for happiness, everyone chooses their own. For example, we have patriarchy. This is when a woman is behind her husband. In my opinion, this is what nature intended: a man is strong, he makes decisions. In another family, the wife is like a mother, and the husband is like a son to her, I couldn’t live like that, but this is their happiness. Everyone has their own.

Here is Garik, on his rare day off, playing football with his son in the hallway. And I run, waving my arms, and shout: “Be careful - the chandelier!!! Don't hit the lamp! Attention - mirror! They care about who will score a goal, and I care about how to save my property. But with what happiness the son’s eyes then shine, he walks around proudly all day and tells everyone: “And I won against dad in football!” My daughter writes scripts and makes videos - her dad’s genes. Growing up as a tomboy: “Mom, you don’t need a dress, it’s uncomfortable, give me ripped jeans, and I’ll run.”

We often fly with the whole family to Sochi to soak up the sun. We especially like to go there in winter: blue sky, green palm trees. We also fly to Yerevan, which is also our hometown.

I am very grateful to Garik’s mother. He treats me very warmly and helps me with the children. I remember my daughter was brought home from the maternity hospital. I look at her, very tiny, and I’m terrified - tiny hands, tiny fingers, how can I take her without hurting her? I need to treat my navel with brilliant green, but I feel like I’m just “swimming” (not even from fear, but from a sense of responsibility: alive small man, child!), a veil before my eyes. Fortunately, Jasmine Surenovna was nearby (she came from Yerevan to help us with our granddaughter). I heard her confident voice: “Zhanna, pull yourself together! Breathe deeply: one-two!” - and calmness and strength of spirit immediately returned to me.

Garik’s mother taught me how to cook Armenian dishes, such as his favorite dolma. She is an excellent grandmother; children enjoy visiting Yerevan. Needless to say, I was lucky with my mother-in-law, I can’t even imagine how difficult it is for women who cannot find mutual language with my husband's mother. I really fell in love with Armenia, Garik’s homeland, I made my closest friends - Arthur Janibekyan and his beautiful wife Elina, my dearest close girlfriend, with whom we have been inseparable for seventeen years. I learned the ancient Armenian language - now it is my second native language. The son and daughter speak Armenian fluently, as well as Russian.

It is important that they know their roots. Our children are very cheerful and cheerful, our family is generally cheerful. We love holidays, gifts, surprises. Garik is a master of sports in surprises. Each of my birthdays is a testing ground for new ideas. For example, for my last birthday I gathered all my friends and girlfriends, and my husband secretly invited my favorite singer Valery Syutkin and musicians. The restaurant is not very big, everything is in plain sight, and poor Syutkin sat with his back turned for an hour so as not to be noticed! And in the bustle I didn’t even notice my favorite artist. About two hours after the start of the holiday, Garik suddenly snatches the microphone, calls me onto the stage and says:

I love you so much that you can’t even imagine what I did for you!

Do you know who will sing for you now?

I stand rooted to the spot. And behind me the musicians are already tuning up.

And then they close my eyes from behind. Everyone is screaming and applauding. I'm shocked! Garik's loud voice is heard:

- For Zhanna, especially for her birthday, the legendary Valery Syutki-i-in!!!

I was so delighted, I can’t even describe my feelings. We danced until we dropped! And Valery set such a mood that my birthday turned into a real concert. In the wake of Syutkina’s musical performance on stage, he sang as a surprise, not according to the program Soso Pavliashvili, with whom we are very friends. Then our favorite singer, Alsou, came out just as impromptu, then the fantastic Armenian orchestra took the initiative, and away we go! The night ended with a grandiose fireworks display - another surprise from Yan Abramov, Alsou’s husband. So, one might say, I’m almost at home in show business.

But all that remains of my childhood dream of becoming an investigator is that I love to shoot. IN free time I go to the shooting range and relieve stress. I'm actually obsessed with guns. Sometimes I even go hunting. Garik, by the way, is terribly amused by this.

Recently in Yerevan, friends took my husband and me to a military training ground where police officers pass their standards. They let me shoot and I scored everything within a ten. “Wow,” the owners did not hide their amazement. “Not every officer can do this.”

I smiled and thought to myself that I might have been a good investigator, but fate gave me a completely different role - a wife and mother. Which I'm very happy about.

We thank the furniture salon “Mebeland” for their help in organizing the shooting.

Garik Martirosyan is a comedian whom almost everyone knows today, even those who are not very interested in show business. Garik has participated and is participating in many projects, making each of them popular and rated. He also successfully produces some of them. It seems that everything that Martirosyan does is given to him as if playfully, without much effort. However, behind any business there is hard work, which sooner or later leads to success.

Garik Martirosyan was born on a happy February day - February 13, 1974 in the capital of the Armenian SSR - Yerevan. But his parents considered this day not so lucky due to superstitions and asked the medical staff to write down his date of birth as February 14, so Garik now celebrates his birthday for 2 days in a row.
Garik, along with his older brother Ambartsum and younger Levon, grew up in the family of a mechanical engineer and a gynecologist. Garik has two outstanding grandfathers, one of whom was once the Deputy Minister of Trade of the USSR, and the second was a school director. Garik is from a family of old-timers - one of his grandfathers and two grandmothers are alive, although they are already over 90 years old.
Parents worked with their sons, trying to instill in them a love of art early childhood. Garik, unlike his brothers, was a very active and naughty child. All three brothers studied in music school, but only Garik was expelled from it for “good” behavior and for pampering in class. However, after school, this time with pleasure, he mastered playing the piano, guitar and drums, moreover, Martirosyan composed several musical works.

Garik, like many active children, showed his acting talent early, while still at school, so he actively took part in school productions.
After graduating from school, Garik, following the example of his mother, who was a doctor and even a doctor of science, entered Yerevan Medical University and received the specialty of neurologist-psychotherapist. He liked his chosen profession, and he worked in his profession for three years.

But life made its choice for him. While still studying at the University, Garik began playing in the KVN team. He did this so well that he was later elected captain of the “New Armenians” team. His team became the Champion in 1997 Major League. Garik Martirosyan also has many more awards from the Cheerful and Resourceful Club.

Such bright character could not remain unclaimed in a developing Russian show business. At first he worked as the chief screenwriter in the program " Good evening with Igor Ugolnikov", then began to take part in other television projects and show.

And in 2005, Garik, together with other members of the KVN team, founded a humorous project Comedy Club similar to the American Stand Up. Garik was not only a participant in this show, but also its producer. The success of the project turned out to be stunning; its residents became the favorites of the entire CIS region.

And a year later Martirosyan created new project with the title " Our Russia", which he co-produced and co-wrote.

Garik's star fame was enhanced by his participation in the show " Two stars", where he, together with Larisa Dolina, became the winner. Afterwards he tried himself as a presenter on Channel One in the program “ Moment of glory" He was also a judge in several projects on TNT.

And since 2008, Garik has become a permanent co-host of the sparkling program “ SpotlightParisHilton" This program was broadcast weekly until 2012.
Nowadays Garik Martirosyan does not sit idle, he always has projects on which he continues to work as an actor, as a screenwriter, and as a producer.

Garik Martirosyan, personal life

In his personal life, Garik is a happy family man. His wifeZhanna Levina- lawyer by profession. They met back in 1997 in Sochi, but started dating only a year later, and then got married. In 2004, their daughter Jasmine was born, and in 2009, their son Daniel. Garik tries to spend as much time as possible with his family and always strives to go home.

wife famous TV presenter Garik Martirosyan's name is Zhanna Levina. She grew up in Sochi, and after graduating from school she entered the Stavropol State Law University and since then lived in two cities. Once in 1997, she was an ardent fan of the team of her native university and came to support her favorites at the festival in Sochi. And this was her fate, because at one of the parties Zhanna found herself at the same table with Garik Martirosyan. The young people immediately felt sympathy for each other, but their communication did not last long. The festival ended, and the girl flew back to Stavropol, without even leaving Garik a phone number. A year later, the couple met again, and just a few days later the young people decided to get married.
In an interview, Zhanna said that neither her nor his parents expected such a rapid development of events, but did not resist the will of their children. Their engagement took place in Yerevan, after which the young couple went on tour with the KVN team, where Garik performed. Due to a busy work schedule, the wedding was celebrated only 2 years later, and it happened in Cyprus. Zhanna is quite easy-going, so she took with interest the fact that she was taken down the aisle not from home, but from a hotel. The ceremony itself took place in a villa with a swimming pool, and the guests were the friendly KVN team “New Armenians”. The only “native” moment in the whole ceremony was the wedding in Armenian Church.

Martirosyan's wife devotes herself entirely to her family

Zhanna Levina is a lawyer by training, but own career she is in no hurry to build, because she devotes every minute of her life to her children and husband. In 2004, the couple had a daughter, Jasmine, and in 2009, an heir, Daniel, was born. Perhaps due to the fact that Garik fully provides for his family and builds successful career on television, Zhanna can afford to enjoy family happiness.

Celebrity fans want to know literally everything about their idols: what music they listen to, what cars they drive, what food they eat. Fans of comedians are no exception: they are interested in knowing where Garik Martirosyan lives. The latter does not meet his fan base and has not even created a page in in social networks. But in the world open information It’s difficult to hide any fact, even if it’s your place of residence.

Brief biography of the comedian

The life path of the Russian stand-up comedian in Armenia begins back in 1974. The following years look like an endless stream of achievements that everyone can envy:

He grew up as a restless child, which caused him to suffer a lot in life. school years. Thus, behavior became one of the reasons for expulsion from music school;
But the young tomboy did not give up his music studies, and even succeeded a lot in this field. Keyboards, strings, drums - he did everything equally well;
Despite the fact that in his youth Garik even wrote music, he chose medical education, for which he entered a specialized Yerevan institute;
As a student, he began to participate in the work of the university KVN team. This happened in 1993, and since then the life of a failed doctor has been connected with the world of humor;
After leaving KVN, he and his friends from the “New Armenians” team founded a stand-up project modeled on American TV shows. And they even called it in English, so that there was no doubt - “Comedy Club”;

What is the nationality of Garik Martirosyan's wife?

Mikhail Zhvanetsky wrote that a man can be judged by the woman who is next to him. Therefore, it’s worth taking a closer look at the showman’s chosen one, Zhanna Levina-Martirosyan:

She was born in Sochi into a decent and wealthy family. There is no exact data regarding nationality, but there are rumors about belonging to the chosen people (Jews);
The surname “Levin”, which is related to the variants “Levinson” and “Levi”, can indirectly speak about the origin. On the other hand, it is worn by many Russian people - descendants of the noble family of the same name. Be that as it may, this issue is of great concern only to the Nazis;
The girl received legal education and for some time worked as an investigator. In the service she had to see blood, but this was not what made the woman dry and unemotional;
The acquaintance with my future husband took place back in 1997, when the KVN team “New Armenians” toured cities and villages. Since then, they have been dating for two decades;
In 1999, a magnificent wedding took place at a Mediterranean resort. Children were born in 2004 and 2009 (a boy and a girl). Zhanna had to quit her job, and today she devoted herself entirely to family life.

Each room has its own design, developed in an eclectic style: within the same room, classic and high-tech can easily coexist - and together they look very organic;
In the living room there are musical instruments(the head of the family is a big fan of playing the guitar and keyboards);
The silver and black design of the bedroom is reminiscent of theater scenery. The room is divided in half: in one wing there is a bed, in the other there is a TV and sofas;
The children's room is decorated in Art Deco style and resembles a toy house. The only detail that reminds of reality is a giant photograph of his father on the wall;
The kitchen resembles a cozy country house of aristocrats. The atmosphere is complemented by an elegant chandelier and floral curtains;
In that luxury house Even a restroom can be called an art object. There is a mosaic on the walls, and the ceiling is decorated with photo wallpaper with a forest landscape.
