Childhood and Youth

Ulyana Tseitlina's age is a secret, as it is permissible for beautiful women. However, according to the media, she was born on November 17, 1968, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Ulyana was born into an intellectual family. Her father was an artist, and her mother held the position of chief editor at the Academy of Sciences.

Serov College of the Academy of Arts to pursue a profession in interior and design.

Career

Ulyana's height and weight allowed her to pursue a not-so-popular profession at that time, which was modeling. At a young age, she worked at the Leningrad House of Models and occasionally appeared on the cover of the "Fashion" magazine. According to Ulyana, during her first casting, she had to wrap her bust with bandages under her clothes to reduce its size from a C cup to an A cup, as was fashionable at the time.

In 1989, Ulyana got married and moved to Australia for 10 years, disappearing from the public eye during that time. According to Ulyana, she spontaneously returned to St. Petersburg to become the godmother of her friend's newborn daughter. However, upon arriving in Russia, she realized that she couldn't part with the country, especially since life there had improved. After her return, Ulyana moved to Moscow to conquer the elite society. She lived with her step-sister Anastasia Mikhaylovskaya, who shared an apartment with three free-spirited artists from Tbilisi. At that time, as Ulyana recalls, there was no distinction between the newly rich and the bohemian, so all the parties were funded by the newly rich.

During her involvement in the social scene, Ulyana participated in a revealing photoshoot for the men's magazine "Playboy," which took place after her first childbirth. The photographer claimed that her photos didn't require any retouching, despite her being 39 years old at the time. It is worth noting that Ulyana never collaborated with another men's magazine, "Maxim." She always looked impeccable without resorting to plastic surgery, as she disliked medical procedures. The only scar on her body is from a caesarean section. Additionally, Ulyana adheres to the rule of never appearing in public or in photos without makeup.

Ulyana also hosted the show "Putevka na Rublevku" and a TV show on "Muz-TV." However, due to low ratings, these programs were discontinued, like many other projects of that time. Despite this, some of Ulyana's statements have become famous quotes.

Once, Ulyana shared her observation with a glossy magazine that "a protruding belly can easily be covered by the sail of your own yacht, preferably one with a helipad. And having your own beach will spare you from sideways glances at your crooked legs."

Ulyana also appeared on Ksenia Sobchak's show, "Blonde in Chocolate." Ulyana Tseitlina became one of the style icons of the 2000s, alongside social observer Bozhena Rynska, fashion designer Ulyana Sergeenko, businesswoman Miroslava Duma, designer Dasha Zhukova, model and actress Oksana Lavrenteva.

Beauty Secrets

Ulyana Tseitlina is the author of the book "100 Practical Tips on Various Topics," in which she reveals a number of secrets that help her maintain a youthful appearance. The TV presenter shared insights on using cosmetic products, undergoing cosmetic procedures, following diets, and engaging in sports.

For example, when choosing lipstick, Ulyana advised women not to blindly follow trends. Red lipstick does not suit women with thin lips, and black nail polish repels men.

The socialite also warned against excessive tanning, as it increases skin pigmentation and gives the face a dirty shade. According to Ulyana, the best sports activities are yoga and swimming, followed by a massage session.

For women aspiring to lose weight, she recommended undergoing a comprehensive blood analysis before choosing a diet to understand what nutrients the body lacks.

Ulyana considers personal taste to be the only correct solution when it comes to designing a dietary plan. To maintain a good mood, she suggests indulging in regular shopping. Ulyana herself is passionate about collecting handbags and accessories.

Since 2010, Ulyana gradually stopped attending social events, dedicating her time to raising her son. Rumor has it that the father of her child was listed in the "Forbes" magazine, which led to the decision for Ulyana to gradually withdraw from the social arena.

Friendship with Ksenia Sobchak

The friendship between Ksenia Sobchak and Ulyana Tseitlina was mutually beneficial. Ksenia was already famous thanks to her father Anatoly Sobchak, and Ulyana had the reputation of a woman who had lived abroad for a long time. It was the perfect combination to conquer the social heights, which they successfully achieved.

In the early 2000s, Tseitlina and Sobchak were inseparable. These extravagant ladies always appeared together at social events, embodying the dreams of women from the CIS countries. Photos of these social ladies from that time and now are striking: luxurious clothing, jewelry, and admiring glances from men.

While Ksenia was not seeking marriage at that time and was more interested in public life, Ulyana mentioned in interviews that she would not mind marrying a respectable man with a substantial bank account.

Ulyana stood out among Moscow beauties of that time due to her sophistication. She did not engage in scandalous affairs or actively pursue other women's husbands. According to journalists, Ulyana had a unique charm and good manners that attracted men to her.

During Ksenia Sobchak's pregnancy, she supported her friend, visiting her in the hospital, and eventually becoming the godmother of her newborn. However, Ulyana and Ksenia had a falling out, and the reason for their conflict remains unknown to this day.

The women reconciled in 2011 at the May Fashion Ball, where they accidentally bumped into each other. Although their previous relationship was not fully restored, the social ladies now avoid conflicts and show feigned animosity.

In 2015, Ksenia invited Ulyana to her lavish wedding with Konstantin Bogomolov. Among the other guests were notable figures such as Fedor Bondarchuk and Paulina Andreeva, Konstantin Ernst and Sofia Ernst, Renata Litvinova, singer Zemfira, and others.

Personal Life

Ulyana got married for the first time in 1989 and moved to Australia. Her husband in the Soviet Union worked as a psychiatrist and also established one of the first cooperatives in Leningrad. Staying in the country at the dawn of the 90s was not safe.

According to Ulyana, they initially traveled to Australia to meet her husband's parents, but she fell in love with the country and decided to stay. During her time in Australia, Ulyana developed an interest in tennis, went jogging along the ocean, led fitness classes, and even ate raw fish.

Upon her return to Russia, Ulyana led an active social life. For many years, her personal life remained in the shadows. Ulyana lived in a house worth over $2 million on Rublevka, drove a BMW SUV, and indulged herself in various expenditures. She pursued her creative endeavors, such as writing books with advice for women. For a period of time, Ulyana had a partner, but his identity remained a secret.

According to some media reports, Ulyana was in a relationship with a married businessman, Boris Belotserkovsky, who was also rumored to be the father of her child. However, in an Elle magazine interview from February 17, 2015, Boris' wife, Nika Belotserkovskaya (Belonika), who has been friends with Ulyana for a long time, denied this information.

In 2015, Ulyana's personal life took a positive turn. News broke that the former socialite had gotten married. Immediately after the grand wedding of figure skater Tatiana Navka, Russian showbiz stars headed to St. Moritz to celebrate the engagement of Ulyana and Alexey Fedorychev.

Ulyana's husband, Alexey Fedorychev, is a Russian oligarch who turned 61 in 2016. He is the head of the corporation Fedcominvest, specializing in the trade of coal and fertilizers. He is also known as the former owner of FC Dynamo Moscow.

At the time of their marriage, Ulyana was 47 years old, and her husband was 60, but this age difference did not hinder their happy union.

The wedding was magnificent, featuring an abundance of elite drinks and food. Russian music stars performed at the event, and they later posted selfies on their social media accounts. It is worth noting that Ulyana finally achieved her goal of marrying someone from the Forbes list.

After her marriage, Ulyana once again retreated into the shadows, occasionally appearing at social events and meeting up with friends. In 2017, Nikolai Baskov posted a photo with Ulyana on his social media page, taken at an open-air museum.

In 2020, Ulyana spent most of her time in Monaco. She lives with her oligarch husband and son Savva in an apartment on Boulevard de Suisse overlooking the port. Savva attends the International School of Monaco to receive his education.

Ulyana is pleased that her son has her current husband as an example, as he is a hardworking individual. In the summer, Savva and part of the household staff relocated to Forte dei Marmi.

In her free time, Ulyana enjoys cooking appetizing dishes with her housekeeper. She particularly enjoys baking pies. Currently, she no longer undergoes beauty treatments, as she believes there are no good salons in Monaco. Over the years living in Europe, Ulyana has gained a little weight, but it does not ruin her figure.
