The mother of Ararat Keshyan's illegitimate child revealed a shocking truth: the actor has hidden his son for years, refused to pay alimony, and now threatens to take the boy.
Actor Ararat Keshyan, known to many for his role as Michael in the popular series "Univer," has found himself at the epicenter of a loud scandal that has shocked the public. It has been revealed that the 47-year-old married artist has been carefully hiding the existence of an illegitimate son for years. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that, according to sources, Keshyan not only did not participate in raising the boy but also refused financial support, and now, it is claimed, he is blackmailing the child's mother, threatening to take the child for himself.
Shocking revelations from the former lover
The veil over this "secret" was lifted by a certain Elvira Kretova, who introduced herself as the actor's former partner. For several months, the girl has been actively sharing details about her 14-year-old son Eldar on her social media, insisting that he is the son of Ararat Keshyan. Kretova claims that the famous father turned his back on the boy immediately after his birth, showing only minimal interest, which was limited to rare and modest gifts on birthdays, as well as symbolic financial assistance. The reason for her public statements, according to Elvira, was Keshyan's sudden urge to reconnect with his son, which she believes was done publicly and "broke the child's psyche."
In her Instagram account, Kretova emotionally wrote: "Meet — the Father of All Russia. He did nothing for his son, moreover — he abandoned him. He appeared publicly in his life for the first time. He disgraced him at football after 10 years. He approached him on the football field after the game. He came to the first meeting with his pregnant wife. Well, at least he thought to leave her at the 'Marriott'... Thanks for that! He apparently got upset at the ultrasound — went on emotions, thought of no one but himself... Furthermore: he deprived his son of the opportunity to train. He humiliated him in court until the end. At the same time, he portrayed himself in a humiliating light — complaining about poverty and unstable income. He valued his own son's future "at the minimum."
Legal battles over alimony
Elvira Kretova also made public court documents regarding the alimony disputes. She sought to establish payments amounting to one-eighth of the actor's income until the boy reaches adulthood. However, the court sided with Keshyan, who cited his "unstable earnings." As a result, the artist was assigned a fixed monthly amount of 16,000 rubles, which corresponds to the minimum subsistence level in Voronezh, where Kretova and her son live.
Such a court decision categorically did not suit the girl. She claims that despite the actor's public statements about wanting to establish a relationship with Eldar, in reality, he still does not strive for full communication with his heir. This "hypocrisy" and "cruelty" towards the boy, according to Kretova, are the main reasons for her determination to continue the legal proceedings. She summarized in her last post: "We will continue to litigate; breaking the law is not allowed. We came for what is ours. We do not need anyone else's."
Threats to take the son
Recently, Keshyan made it clear that he is considering seeking full custody of his son. After Kretova's latest publications, the actor sent her a message in which he directly stated that he would "take the child sooner or later." Elvira, however, does not take these threats seriously, emphasizing that the teenager will soon turn 14 years old and will be able to decide for himself where to live.
Personal life of Ararat Keshyan
Ararat Keshyan has been married twice. In 2007, he married Irina, but their union fell apart three years later. The actor's second wife became Ekaterina, the owner of a wedding salon. The couple got married in 2013 and is now raising three daughters — Eva, Diana, and Ani.
