Actress and singer Anastasia Zadorozhnaya gave an open interview to Nadezhda Strelets, discussing her move to the USA, her decision to leave her career for family, life in Florida, and difficult episodes from her past.
The star, who gained fame in the 2000s thanks to the series "Simple Truths" and "Club," as well as her participation in the group "Neposedy," paused her career a few years ago. The decision was linked to her meeting with her future husband Vladimir. In 2019, the couple began living between Russia and the USA, and later permanently moved to Florida. In 2020, they got married, and four years later, they welcomed their daughter Alexandra.
About Life Off Stage
Anastasia admitted that she does not regret leaving the profession:
"I have long dreamed of a quiet life. Now I am a mom, we live in Florida, and this is a wonderful period."
According to her, the change in the rhythm of life helped her get rid of anxiety about age and the future. At the same time, she does not rule out a return to work.
About the Series "Club" and the 2000s
Zadorozhnaya shared that the cult series "Club" is unlikely to appear on official platforms. The project, which started in 2006 on MTV, became an experiment and brought the actress nationwide fame.
The actress nostalgically recalls the Moscow party scene of the 2000s:
"It was a time of freedom — without social networks and constant control. We just lived and enjoyed the moment."
About Personal Life and Romances
Zadorozhnaya recalled her relationship with figure skater Sergey Slavnoy, which lasted seven years, and for the first time confirmed her romance with producer Petr Sheksheyev.
She denied rumors about connections with Alexey Chadov and Timur Batrutdinov, emphasizing that they are only friends.
About Meeting Her Husband
The actress met her future husband by chance — on a plane during a layover. The conversation started spontaneously and quickly grew into a serious relationship.
"I gave him my phone number myself. Everything happened very easily — like in a fog."
Today, her husband works in the IT field and is involved with data storage systems.
About Bullying in "Neposedy"
Anastasia admitted that she faced bullying from the members of the group in her childhood:
"There was a difficult period, especially due to Vlad Topalov's behavior. It left a mark."
According to her, similar situations occurred with other members of the group.

About Motherhood and Daily Life
The actress has fully immersed herself in family life and consciously refused the help of nannies:
"I wanted a family — and now I live this life."
Her days are spent caring for her child, home, and family.
About Hate and Raising Her Daughter
After posting a video of teaching her child water safety skills, Zadorozhnaya faced criticism. She explained that such courses are the norm in Florida and are important for safety.
"People see what they want. This is a necessary practice, not cruelty."
About Moving and Life in the USA
According to the actress, the move was related to her husband's job. Despite the comfortable life by the ocean, she misses home:
"Nothing can replace the feeling of home."
In Florida, her everyday life consists of simple things — walks, caring for her child, and family matters.
