Natalia Vodianova is one of the most famous and sought-after models in the fashion industry. Natalia was born in Nizhny Novgorod and did not dream of a modeling career. So fate was that she was noticed by a representative of a modeling agency and invited to Moscow.
Childhood of the famous model
Natalia Vodianova in childhood and adolescence never thought that her external data would help set foot on the most famous catwalks in the world. She was born in a provincial town into a simple Russian family. Natalia and her two sisters were raised only by their mother, the girl's father was never seen. The famous model worked in the market, helped her mother sell fruits. She studied poorly at school, because there was no time for lessons. Once her extraordinary beauty was noticed by a representative of a modeling agency and invited to Moscow for a casting. Since then, the modeling career of a simple Russian beauty began.
Cinderella story
Natalia's fate is somewhat reminiscent of the story of Cinderella. In the personal life of the model, too, everything is in order. The love story began in 2000. At one private party, Natalya met the English aristocrat Justin Portman. At that time he was 33 years old. The girl initially did not plan to go to a meeting with friends and colleagues, but by the will of fate she ended up there that evening. The model recalls the history of her acquaintance with her husband with a smile. That evening, the young people drank a lot and found a reason to quarrel with each other. Justin himself at the party sympathized with Vodianova's girlfriend and could not even imagine that his future wife was next to him. The next day, Justin called Natalia and apologized for the rudeness and indecent behavior, followed by an invitation to a date. Natalia could not resist the English gentleman. They soon realized that they had fallen in love with each other and wanted to be together.
Birth of children
Pregnancy had a good effect on the model's appearance, she was noticeably prettier and even younger.
Natalya, by the nature of her work, travels all the time. Justin did not let her go anywhere alone, but all the time followed his wife. In 2001, the couple had their first child, a son, Lucas. The entire period of pregnancy in the model passed with complications. But Natalia, as a strong Russian woman, withstood all the hardships. She decided to give birth on her own without pain relievers. The baby was born in London. 6 weeks after giving birth, the model already shone on the catwalk again. The second child in the star family was the girl Neva. The youngest, Victor, was born in 2007.
The model maintains friendly relations with her ex-husband, because their marriage lasted for many years, and Justin is the father of their joint children.
4 years after the birth of their third child, Natalia and Justin announced their separation. Natalia fell in love with French billionaire Antoine Arnault. Their relationship has been going on for three years. The model willingly tells the press about her new lover. In November 2013, Vodianova announced on her page on the social network that she was expecting a baby. And on May 1, 2014, the couple had a son. They named him Maxim. This is the first joint child of Natalia and Antoine.
Natalia is not shy about her past. She is confident that her career and personal life have developed so successfully due to the hardships that she experienced as a child.
