A native of Latvia, Kristina Smirnova, today is not a servant of Melpomene, as she leads the life of an ordinary Russian woman, working in a clinic and raising children. And she owes her popularity not to outstanding successes in the field of culture and art, but solely because of the scandalous story with the famous actor Sergey Bezrukov, from whom she is rumored from the acting environment to give birth to a daughter, two years old, to Alexander and son Ivan.

The ambiguous life and fate of the former artist Kristina Smirnova today does not leave many indifferent. After all, the aspiring Russian actress, without even having time to seriously appear on the set, was able to beat all the popularity ratings solely due to a long romance with one of the most sought-after theater and film actors today.
Short biography of Kristina Smirnova
The future actress was born in 1983 in Latvia. And after some time, her family moved to Estonia, where she spent her childhood and youth in a Russian-speaking family (her father is Russian). From an early age, Kristina showed particular interest in the career of the artist, reading poetry and arranging impromptu performances in front of family guests.
However, after graduating from high school, the future actress managed to graduate from college and received the specialty of speech therapist in Estonia, having worked there for some time in the specialty. At this time, she took part in one of the popular Estonian shows, where she was able to break into the finals. From this moment begins her career in the field of show business.
And then there was participation in the beauty contest "Miss Baltic" and moving to permanent residence in St. Petersburg. Here Kristina Smirnova begins to act in episodic and secondary roles in a number of projects of domestic cinema. The serial episode "Yesenin", released in 2005, became a landmark. On the set, she has to participate in one of the scenes with Sergei Bezrukov. It is from this episode that their stormy and long romance begins.
However, the connection with the Russian movie star did not become for Smirnova the guarantor of her own ascent to the top of cinematic fame. And therefore, soon she decides to be realized on the stage, working in clubs and restaurants of the city on the Neva. This happened before the birth of children from Sergei Bezrukov, who did not want to advertise his relationship with his mistress.
This was followed by a break with show business and training at the St. Petersburg Medical College, after which she got a job in a newly acquired specialty at a local clinic. By the way, in her free time, Kristina Smirnova performs in one of the choirs of the Northern capital, where, according to her, she receives true pleasure from the realization of the artist’s talent.
