Why Yuri Kolokolnikov Decided to Settle Down After 40

Yuri Kolokolnikov’s Nomination and Personal Life

Yuri Kolokolnikov has recently been nominated for the Actor Awards for his role in ‘The White Lotus.’ The award ceremony is scheduled for March 1, and fans are eagerly awaiting his appearance on the red carpet with his wife, Vilma Kutaviciute. Despite his past high-profile relationships, Kolokolnikov only tied the knot with Vilma. Let’s delve into the actor’s past romances and his new spouse.

Early Career and Relationships

As Yuri Kolokolnikov’s popularity grew, so did the attention from women. However, he kept his romances private, believing that marriage required full commitment, which could hinder his career. He once stated, ‘Love is always a big risk because when you truly love, you don’t hold back.’ Despite this, he admitted that the feeling of being in love always inspired him.

Serious Relationships and Family Life

Kolokolnikov’s first serious relationship was with Nadezhda Malyarovskaya around 2005. They had a daughter, Taisiya, in 2006 but never married and eventually parted ways amicably. Kolokolnikov remained involved in his daughter’s life and provided financial support.

In 2009, during the filming of ‘Rasputin,’ Kolokolnikov began a relationship with Ksenia Rappoport. Despite initial rumors, their relationship flourished, and they had a daughter, Sofia, in 2011. Although they never married, Kolokolnikov became close to Rappoport’s daughter from a previous relationship, Aglaya Tarasova. The couple split in 2015 but remained on good terms.

Marriage to Vilma Kutaviciute

After his split with Rappoport, Kolokolnikov was linked to several celebrities, but these were just rumors. Fans began to think he might remain a bachelor forever. However, in late 2024, Kolokolnikov surprised everyone by appearing at the premiere of ‘The Last Ronin’ with Vilma Kutaviciute, revealing that they had already married.

Vilma Kutaviciute was born on June 15, 1988, in Vilnius. She moved to Moscow in 2008 to study directing at GITIS. She learned Russian in two years and began acting in films and TV series. The couple’s feelings became public during the filming of the series ‘Voskresensky’ in 2022. This is also Vilma’s first marriage; she is 8 years younger than Kolokolnikov.

While it’s possible that Kolokolnikov feels his career is now established, leading him to settle down, only he can confirm this. We wish him happiness in his new marital status and many more great roles!
