Seven years later, the 34-year-old wife gave birth to a son, Ivan. After that, a real grief happened in the Khabensky family. Nastya was diagnosed with brain cancer.

In addition to paying for the treatment of sick children, the fund is also involved in examinations, rehabilitation, assistance to medical institutions and even advanced training for doctors.

Now Khabensky is a young, successful, popular theater and film actor. Thanks to his foundation, the artist seeks to save the lives of children from the disease that once made him lose his first true love and the mother of his son.
- a rather modest person. He is not tied to the attributes of wealth, does not change fashionable gadgets and cars like gloves. The same can be said about women. Konstantin had two marriages, and not a single divorce.
The first wife of Konstantin Khabensky
Many people know about the tragedy that the actor experienced in 2008. His beloved wife, the mother of his son Ivan, Anastasia, passed away.
They met in 1998, when Khabensky's popularity was just beginning to gain momentum. The artist at that time starred in the series "Deadly Force", a classic "soap" about the difficult police everyday life, and Anastasia worked as a radio journalist. Konstantin noticed a pretty brunette in a cafe and invited her to a performance.
Khabensky always spoke briefly about his wife to journalists: “ It was love at first sight. Nothing more, nothing less". In 2000, the couple officially registered their relationship. The wedding was modest, the newlyweds came to the registry office in sweaters and jeans.
The family life of the Khabenskys was not cinematic harmonious. Usually it is not customary for film actors to take their second half to the shooting, but for Konstantin this item was mandatory. Once, to shoot the next series of "Deadly Force" abroad, Nastya had to come up with a small role, with which she coped brilliantly.
The loving spouses tried to spend as much time as possible together, as if they felt that they had little time left for them.
After the tremendous success of the Night Watch, real fame came to Khabensky. Evil tongues began to attribute to him a lot of novels on the side, actively exaggerating the fact that the Khabensky couple have no children and their union is in jeopardy. The news of the long-awaited pregnancy in early 2007 silenced the spiteful critics. Konstantin did not hide his frank joy about this.
It so happened that Anastasia at that time got into an accident. Subsequently, doctors will consider that it was as a result of the accident that Nastya had a microstroke, which caused brain cancer. And at that time, Anastasia attributed the deterioration of her health to pregnancy.
Doctors diagnosed oncology already on recent months pregnancy. The woman turned out to take potent drugs, fearing to harm the child. Immediately after the birth of her son, Anastasia became worse, she was transferred to the intensive care unit of the maternity hospital, and then to the N.M. Burdenko Institute. Anastasia's tumor was removed and a course of chemotherapy was given.
For Konstantin, his wife's illness was a real blow. Immediately after the treatment, the couple got married right in the hospital ward.
The insidious disease after a couple of months again made itself felt. loving husband moved his wife to the best clinic in Los Angeles. The actor was literally torn between Moscow and the United States, trying to earn money for the treatment of Anastasia. For six months, the best doctors fought for the life of the patient, using all conceivable and unimaginable methods. However, the exhausted woman's heart could not stand the next chemotherapy, and on December 1, 2008, Anastasia died.
Interesting Notes:
In memory of his first wife, Konstantin Khabensky organized charitable foundation helping children with cancer. Over this time the fund helped hundreds of children escape from the disease, who took away Konstantin's wife, and little Vanya's mother.
By the way, the artist's son stayed with his mother-in-law in the United States. Anastasia's mother could not come to terms with the departure of her daughter, and literally begged for the right to raise her grandson.
Life goes on
After the death of his wife, Konstantin led a closed and solitary life. He worked hard, took care of his fund, about serious relationship women were out of the question. Not a single woman crossed the threshold of the apartment in which they lived with Nastya.
So it was until Olga Litvinova, an actress of the Moscow Art Theater, appeared in his life. Their romance was bumpy and uneven, according to older generations on both sides.
Olga Litvinova, only daughter influential producer, according to the status father, deserved a more solid party. Khabensky's mother dreamed of a daughter-in-law, far from the world of art, able to devote herself to her husband and family. Despite everything, Khabensky and Olga Litvinova still got married in 2013, and in 2016 they had a daughter.
Many noted that Khabensky for the first time in many years looks happy, and his attitude to life has changed. He moved his pregnant wife to a new luxury apartment and traded in his old Audi Q7 for an executive SUV.
In the fall of 2018, it became known that Olga Litvinova was pregnant with her second child! According to rumors, the actress is due to give birth in December, but so far she continues to work.
Olga does not comment on her life with Khabensky in any way, considering this topic deeply personal.. It is only known that she takes a great part in the work of his foundation, fully sharing this difficult happiness - to help others.
January 11, 1972 in the family of engineer Yuri Khabensky, where the daughter Natasha was already growing up, a son was born. The boy was named Konstantin. Thus began the story of someone who, years later, became not just an actor, but an iconic figure of a whole generation.
Konstantin. Youthful dreams and reality
A boy, and then a young man, Kostya saw the example of his parents in front of him and dreamed of becoming a technician, sometimes an astronaut. He was almost close to his dream when he studied at the aviation technical school, where he studied for three years, after which he took the documents from there. How did this happen?
At that time, the young man worked as a theater technician, he was invited to participate in extras, which determined his fate. He realized that he wanted to become an actor, and in 1990 he entered the Filshtinsky course at the Cherkasov Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Cinema and Music. Together with the 28-year-old Konstantin, other future bright actors, such as Mikhail Porechenkov, also studied.
The special charm of the student was noted by the directors. During the years of study, Konstantin Yuryevich starred in the films “To whom God will send” and “Women's property”, participated in theatrical productions.

Konstantin Khabensky: "Admiral" of Russian cinema
Khabensky has already starred in fifty films, participated in even more performances. He is recognized people's artist Russia, this title was awarded to him in 2012, but at the beginning creative way acting talent Konstantin was immediately noticeable.
Even for his first work in the film "To whom God will send" Konstantin Yuryevich was awarded the prize of the Gatchina Film Festival. However, to a wide audience, the acting of Khabensky became familiar from the role of Igor Plakhov in the TV series Lethal Force. The actor began to be recognized on the streets, and Timur Bekmambetov made a bet on him in his new job"Night Watch", which was released in 2005.

However, the heart of the protagonist of the tape "Admiral" was already occupied and every moment was shrinking from fear for the life of his beloved woman.
Personal life of Konstantin Khabensky
The love story of Khabensky and Anastasia Smirnova can itself form the basis of the film. It began in 1999 when the couple met.
A young beauty, a radio host, Nastya, when meeting Konstantin, did not take him seriously. At that time, the young man starred in the series "Deadly Force". The girl treated such works very coolly. To win her heart, Khabensky invited Nastya to the premiere theatrical performance in which he participated. Soon Anastasia had a different opinion about the personality of her new gentleman. On January 12, 2000, young people went to the registry office to get married without a magnificent celebration and festive costumes.
Seven years later, the young Khabensky couple managed to conceive a child, which they were glad about. Being on a long term, 34-year-old Anastasia got into a car accident, in which she almost did not suffer outwardly, but it soon became clear that it was this incident that caused the development of a brain tumor in the pregnant Nastya. Khabensky's wife refused to take chemotherapy sessions and drugs that could stop the course of the disease so as not to harm the baby.
On September 25, 2007, a boy was born to a couple who were considered ideal. At the end of September 2017, Vanya Khabensky turned 9 years old, and he already went on stage with his father as part of the Plumage festival.
Ivan spent the first years of his life in America with his grandmother Inna Glebovna, after which he moved with her to Spain. Khabensky Jr. is studying in Barcelona. The boy is passionate about football, fencing, draws well and dreams of becoming not an actor, but an artist.
But the boy's mother died when the baby was about a year old.
Favorable forecasts regarding Nastya's health after the birth of her son did not come true, neither chemotherapy at the Burdenko clinic, nor expensive treatment in Los Angeles helped. Anastasia died on December 1, 2008 in her mother's arms, when the head of the family was forced to be on the set of the film "Admiral" in order to pay for treatment.
Life after the death of the woman he loved seemed unreal to Konstantin, only his son gave him the strength to overcome the pain. To find family happiness again, the actor went through several years of loneliness.
In 2013, Khabensky married a colleague in the theater Olga Litvinova, and on June 4, 2016, the couple had a daughter, Alexander. The baby is just over a year old, and her 45-year-old father adores her, as does her older brother Vanya.
In the name of life
Konstantin Khabensky, after the death of Nastya, realized that he could help others, and founded a charitable foundation to help children with brain tumors. He has been successfully helping his wards for almost 10 years. Its assets are directed to the purchase of equipment, examinations, treatment of children and advanced training of doctors.
Konstantin Yurievich did not stop there. On September 20, 2017, he gave a press conference that his foundation, together with the organization "Russian Textbook", is launching a project for teachers "Lessons of Kindness". The actor himself notes that these are not ways to help, but an opportunity to reflect on what mercy is. Konstantin Yuryevich is sure that "you cannot force a child to do it sincerely if he does not understand why he should do it."
Khabensky's experience shows that it is important for a child to do good himself. So, his performance "Generation of Mowgli", in which 5 thousand children are involved, bypassed 5 cities of Russia. The actor understands the feelings of each of his young assistants when a child with cancer who has already received help comes to the dressing room. Here the young actors understand what they are trying for. Thanks to their efforts, young talents have already helped 50 children receive treatment. Konstantin Yuryevich hopes that something similar will happen with the “Lessons of Kindness”: children will understand that their efforts are important.
Surely this will not be the last project of Konstantin Khabensky, who at the age of 45 is full of energy and creativity.

Konstantin was born in intelligent family In Petersburg. Parents were engineers, engaged in science, they dreamed that their son would become a mathematician in the third generation. However, family circumstances developed in such a way that the boy, as soon as he went to first grade, had to be sent to be raised in Mari El, where Kostya's mother was from.
A friend of the same grandmother with whom Khabensky lived, now recalls how, a few years later, Kostya appeared before her as a well-bred and quite adult boy. Already in adolescence, he became an intelligent and completely non-conflict young man, who did not know what whims were.
It was under the wing of granny that Kostya first tried to go on stage. After school lessons, the boy was engaged in a drama club and he really liked it. But it was not immediately possible to overcome natural shyness. Once, speaking in a sanatorium, he sang one of Vysotsky's famous songs with a guitar, and, embarrassed, ran backstage as soon as the last chord sounded.
He was 12 when the family returned to Leningrad. Study in new school the boy did not particularly like it, so he dreamed of finishing it as soon as possible. Parents did not support Kostya's passion for dramatic art, considering it to be childish whims. Therefore, when the question arose of admission after the eighth grade, they all together chose the technical direction.
Path
The young man entered the Technical School of Aviation Instrumentation and Automation. For three years, the future actor honestly gnawed at the granite of science, which was not to his liking. In the third year, he wrote a term paper, which included not only a theoretical, but also a practical part.
During the defense of his work, Konstantin realized that he did not know how to apply knowledge in practice and was not doing his job. He dropped out of college, not graduating.
Parents were upset, and the matured Kostya planned to spend some time looking for himself. He swept the streets, washed the floors, and once got a job as a stage worker at the Saturday youth theater.
Here, for the first time, he will take to the stage - at first, however, in the crowd. Khabensky will remember his hobby and decide to connect his life with the acting profession.
Tanya
To the surprise of his relatives, in the same year, Konstantin entered the famous LGITMiK and became a regular actor in that same Saturday theater. Now the parents have stopped insisting on his mathematical or technical career, but the artist’s mother still does not like to talk about acting.
In the same happy student years, Konstantin met his first real love- fifth-year student Tanya Polonskaya. The golden-haired sorceress at first did not pay any attention to the modest student. But he didn't back down. He guarded her after classes with a bouquet at the ready, did not spare meager scholarships for gifts, went out of town for wild flowers, if he could not buy a bouquet in the city, fulfilled whims.
Then Khabensky had already begun to act a little, but small and inconspicuous roles had not yet made him a celebrity. To the first applause, he walked hand in hand with Tatyana.
change
In the acting party, they still say that it was Tanya who did not allow the actor to "catch a star." She was there at the time when he was gaining popularity - he got a job at the Satyricon, and then got into the theater of the Lensoviet.
When directors, critics and the public began to idolize the gifted Khabensky, Tatyana noticed all his failures and demanded, demanded that he prepare for the roles more carefully, feel the characters more deeply, play more convincingly.
Having met Tatyana for several years, Konstantin proposed to her, but the actress did not see herself as a wife. She honestly admitted that she was set up for a career and family life not included in her plans yet.
Khabensky did not continue the relationship.
