In recent years, Vitas has attracted the attention of the Russian public not with new songs, but with scandals with his participation. Photos of the singer's children and wife can be seen more often in a crime chronicle than in a secular news column. What is happening now in the life of Vitaly Grachev (Vitas)?
For the first time they started talking about Vitas and his work in 2000, when he literally burst into the world of Russian pop music with the composition "Opera No. 2". His takeoff was rapid, an aura of mystery was created around him, and the fans knew nothing about the idol's personal life. They started talking about Vitas' family when he started making scandals - drunk driving, shooting. Photos and faces of the singer's children, his wives appeared in criminal chronicles and programs, talk shows where celebrities' dirty laundry is being taken apart.
The family of the singer Vitas
Vitaly Grachev (Vitas) - Latvian by origin, was born in February 1979, in the city of Daugavpils. The boy's childhood was spent in Ukraine, in Odessa. Vitaly studied music since childhood - first he graduated from school in accordion class, then studied vocals with Alla Rudneva, mastered the art of plasticity and dance in the theater.
Vitas met his future wife back in Odessa, when he was working in a parody theater. The girl at that time was only 15 years old, the singer himself was 19. Almost immediately after meeting the girl, Vitaly left to conquer the capital, but he did not forget about his beloved. After a while, he literally stole her - Svetlana ran away with Vitas, leaving her mother a note asking not to look for her. Since then, they have not parted.
In 2006, Vitaly and Svetlana Grachev formalized their marriage. In 2008, their daughter Alla was born, and 7 years later, in 2015, their son Maxim.

The first child, daughter Alla, appeared with Vitaly Grachev when he was already 29 years old, and his marriage with Svetlana had lasted for 10 years. Why the spouses did not have children for so long is unknown. The parents were immensely pleased with the appearance of the baby. The singer was in no hurry to show little Alla Vitalievna Gracheva to fans and journalists, explaining his decision by excessive superstition.
The Grachevs waited for the birth of their second child for another 7 long years. Vitas' son Maxim was born on New Year's Eve 2015. And Vitas tried to hide his son from prying eyes. Now, when the whole country has already seen the faces of children, the owner of the most amazing voice in the world does not seek to tell details about their life, about what his heirs are doing and what they are fond of.
On his Instagram page, Vitas is also in no hurry to share photos of his children. There you can find only a few pictures of his daughter Alla and a couple of pictures of his son, but the boy's face is usually not visible on them. And this is the singer's right, his choice, which fans and journalists can only accept.
How did the career of the singer Vitas develop?
Vitaly, in his own words, always knew that he would become a singer, moreover, famous and in demand. All his efforts in childhood and adolescence were aimed at achieving precisely this goal. He stubbornly mastered the basics of music and vocals, performing arts and the art of parody. From the age of 17, he served in one of the Odessa theaters, and then, realizing that his development would simply stop here, he went to conquer Moscow.
Vitaly Grachev wrote his first hit, the song "Opera No. 2" himself, at the age of 17. And it was with this creation of his that he came to his future producer Sergei Pudovkin, when he was in Odessa. The video shot for this musical composition became a real explosion, the young singer was noticed, he hit the charts, on TV and on radio broadcasts.
After a while, Vitas's career began to decline, but he managed to release two studio albums, 2 collections of songs, and shoot more than 15 clips for his compositions.
Now Vitaly Grachev is developing a career in China, and he is extremely popular there. Vitas also works in Russia - he takes part in television projects. But more often they write about him here as a brawler and brawler, unfortunately.
Scandals around Vitas
As a brawler, Vitaly Grachev has already "checked in" twice. And such fame did not add to his popularity in the ranks of Russian music lovers, but rather became a reason for regular fans to look at their idol "from a different angle".
The first scandal occurred in May 2013. Leaving the parking lot, the singer hit a cyclist with his car. The girl did not receive serious injuries, but Vitas's behavior put her into a stupor - the singer tried to hide, along the way damaging the cars standing nearby. The idol of millions and the arriving police surprised me - he behaved inappropriately, refused a medical examination for intoxication, tried to beat the guards. The incident was the reason for the deprivation of the singer of his driving license. For the attack on the police, Vitas paid a fine. In addition, the singer has publicly apologized for his actions.
The second scandal occurred 5 years later, in March 2018. The singer started shooting at his site in a cottage village in the Moscow region. Frightened neighbors called a police outfit, but Vitas refused to let law enforcement officers into the house. As a result, they had to break open the door, deliver the celebrity to the station. The explanations for the act were absurd - Vitas insisted that he was trying to scare away the birds. The proceedings ended with a small fine. Whether the weapon was found in the singer's house, in what condition it was at the time of the shooting, is unknown to this day. It is also unknown what to expect for the fans of the once popular singer - new hits and concerts or the next drunken antics.
