The personal life of public people is always in the spotlight, but not all famous people are ready to talk openly about their family. 63-year-old businessman Igor Kolomoisky, who is now in custody, has never appeared in public with his family – his wife Irina, son and daughter. The online publication GORDON tells what is known about the Kolomoisky family.
Housewife wife
IN In 2018, Kolomoisky, in an interview with Ukrainian journalist, founder of the online publication GORDON, Dmitry Gordon, admitted that he met his future wife at a pioneer camp. He was 15 years old at that time.
The businessman said that it was not love at first sight. According to Kolomoisky, for him his wife is not a friend, but simply a wife with whom he discusses only family matters.
“INThey dated for a while and then got married. Now they will accuse me of promoting the patriarchal system. But I I think that women they must either have their own business, or they must take care of family affairs. I'm not for the fact that there is a kitchen, kinder, kirchen. If She has her calling, she’s ready to do something, let her do it. I don't mind. If not, perhaps being a housewife is not bad either,” he said.
Children
Kolomoisky first became a father at the age of 22 – his daughter Anzhelika was born in 1985, and his son Grigory in 1999. In 2018, in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Sonya Koshkina, the businessman said that his daughter went to school in Switzerland in 2001.
In 2011, Anzhelika Kolomoiskaya married Israeli citizen Oleg Bokoev. The publication “Today” wrote that the wedding ceremony took place in Eilat (Israel). In a conversation with Koshkina, Kolomoisky admitted that as of 2018, his daughter “had already managed to get a divorce.”
In the summer of 2020, a friend of Kolomoisky reported that Anzhelika Kolomoisky gave birth to twins – boys. Kolomoisky did not disclose who her second husband is.
The son of a businessman studied at a university in Cleveland (USA) in 2018 to become a sports manager and played on the local basketball team.
“He had priority for basketball,” Kolomoisky noted.
And in August 2021, Tribuna.com wrote that Grigory Kolomoisky had been a member of the Dnepr basketball team since 2019, and before that he was a player in the Israeli Maccabi and played in the NCAA for the Cleveland university team.
In August 2021, Kolomoisky’s son moved to the Sonic-Puntamika team, which played in the elite division of the Croatian championship.
In January 2022, “Briefly about” reported that Grigory Kolomoisky moved to the Kyiv team “Budivelnik”. Referring to a statement by the club's press service, which was dedicated to the birthday of Kolomoisky's son, the editors noted that he was addressed both as a player and as a top manager. In addition, in the congratulations the businessman’s son was already called by a different name.
“Happy birthday to Budivelnik vice-president for basketball operations Israel Kolomoisky. We wish Israel good health, inspiration and daily professional success. Good luck in basketball and beyond,” said the statement, which was illustrated with a photograph of the businessman’s son.
