Andrey Karpov is an architect by education. He became popular as a professional dancer who won many awards. The young artist gained fame after participating in the show "Dancing with the Stars", where he became the winner.
For a long time, Karpov was perceived as the wife of Ekaterina Volkova, the star of the "Voronin" sitcom. At the time of filming, the actress was not married. She was able to convincingly play a mother of many children, even without having a single child. According to her, everything was realized later.
Choosing your life's work
A native Muscovite was born in 1986, on September 10. He calls his childhood as a whole wonderful, but in places very difficult. So, the boy had a very hard time waiting. Andrey is an older brother. Every day he accompanied his younger sister to the garden, and then hurried to school.
After completing his studies, the graduate entered the staging department of the Moscow Art Theater. Having received a choreographic education, Karpov did not stop. Dancing is a hobby for him. The young man taught at a dance school.
His vocation was also architectural activity. After graduating from the Moscow University of Civil Engineering, Andrey became an engineer-architect. He created his own architectural bureau. In 2008 Karpov received an invitation to participate in the show "Dancing with the Stars".
His first partner was actress Agata Muceniece. A couple of years later, Andrei again received an invitation to continue working in a popular project. This time he brilliantly performed solo in tandem with Maria Semkina, also an actress. Olga Buzova became the third partner of the dancer.
The duo dropped out of the competition. Karpov performed with Yulia Volkova, "ex-Tatushka", Anastasia Vedenskaya, Elena Podkaminskaya. In a duet with the latter, Karpov won the main prize of the program, overtaking the leading Yevgeny Papunaishvili with Alena Vodonaeva.
In an interview, the dancer called the time of participation in the show the most difficult for himself. Due to the late completion of filming, he immediately went on construction business, since his main occupation was architecture.
Film and television
There are many interesting moments in Karpov's work. Together with his dancing skills, the artist acquired the experience of an artist. In the popular television project "Voronin", where his future wife Yekaterina Volkova also participated, he reincarnated as a doctor.
Producers of other programs began to send the artist suggestions after the completion of Dancing with the Stars. Since the beginning of March 2016, the new life repair and construction project has been launched on the STS channel. The program differed from similar ones in that the specialists did not limit themselves to the transformation of the dwelling.
The program was attended by cosmetologists, stylists and plastic surgeons. Through their efforts, the appearance of the owners of the premises approached the ideal. Andrey was entrusted with overseeing the renovation and interior design. Almost all corners of the country figured in the project.
Karpov noticed that his group achieved impressive results in transforming the dwelling with the help of available materials. The process was limited to thirty days.
The artist met his future wife at her play "The Fool". Love from Andrey was at first sight. Mutual acquaintance took place later. Karpov invited the chosen one to a dance lesson. Together with Ekaterina he performed tango.
The couple has been inseparable since that time. The actress came to support her lover on the show "Dancing with the Stars." Quite unexpectedly, she was handed a bouquet with tickets to Paris. The romantic date ended with a marriage proposal. In 2010, an official ceremony took place, after which the young people became husband and wife.
Only the closest and friends were present. Soon the daughter Lisa was born. The family is currently discussing the addition of one more child.
Family life
The couple had to overcome a lot. Andrey was too carried away by work. He hardly appeared at home. However, everything was in order after the completion of the project. The artists try not to let journalists into their personal lives. Both believe. That private being should be hidden from prying eyes.
Karpov loves to communicate with fans on social networks. On his Instagram page, there are a lot of pictures from the moments of his personal life. Karpov is friends with Russian stars. Joint photos adorn his account. Family life, in his opinion, helps him to survive the overstrain of everyday life.
Romantic evenings are not uncommon for spouses. The TV star loves to travel. He prefers to visit unfamiliar corners of the planet on a motorcycle. Previously, Karpov was engaged in parachute jumping.
Since April 2017, a new show has been held with the participation of Andrey. His wife became his co-host. Myths about health and beauty were debunked in the program "Mr. and Mrs. Z". The shock took place in the format of live experiments. So, an issue dedicated to the properties of snake venom required the presence of creeping heroes.
A new series of the project was launched in the spring of 2018. The program had a lot of influence on Karpov, an adherent of a healthy lifestyle. As an architect, Andrey took part in the Ideal Repair Project of the First Channel. The team created in real time a nursery in the country house of a popular singer
The idea appeared during the filming of the "Voronins". The artist asked to equip the empty premises for the heirs in the conditions of the house, and Karpov decided to involve the professionals of "Ideal Repair" in solving the problem.
The result of the work was a real town in the style of Disneyland.
