The filmmaker Yegor Konchalovsky and his wife, Maria Leonova, welcomed a son into their family. The couple named their newborn Marat, a choice that seemed to carry significance for the director, who noted that the boy held a special place in the family’s life.
Details about the couple’s union have drawn attention. Konchalovsky later revealed that the marriage between him and Maria Leonova had been kept private, though the exact year of their official registration remained undisclosed. Rumors swirled in 2019 after the pair appeared together at a premiere, where the wedding bands they wore on their left ring fingers hinted at a formal commitment. The public focus on their relationship persisted as both moved through their professional and personal milestones.
Leonova brought her first child with Konchalovsky into the world on April 2, 2017, naming him Timur. The director’s personal life includes a long-standing partnership with actress Lyubov Tolkalina, with whom he has maintained a relationship for many years. Leonova’s educational path shows a pursuit of graphic design at a prestigious Moscow art and design institution, underscoring a shared interest in creative fields. In a broader family narrative, Konchalovsky expanded his family again through a marriage in 2020 to Nikita Kuzmin, who is a co founder and head of an IT company, marking another chapter in the couple’s ongoing story and work life.
