Sergey Trofimov shares his views on parenting and family life
The singer Sergey Trofimov spoke candidly about raising children during a live interview on mk.ru. He questioned the need for strict parenting, expressing a belief that love should lead every relationship. For Trofimov, healthy family ties form when a parent shows genuine interest in the child’s daily life and communicates openly with them.
He also reflected on the idea that a child’s future profession is not something a parent can fix in advance. Trofimov noted that his son shows musical talent, playing the drums with noticeable skill. He added that a person tends to grow up guided by the way their parent behaves, rather than by rigid rules or tight control.
Trofimov is a father to three children. His eldest daughter, Anna, was born in 1989 from his first marriage to Natalia. He admitted feeling guilt about the divorce of his parents and the impact it may have had on her upbringing.
From his second marriage to Anastasia, he is raising his 19‑year‑old son Ivan and 14‑year‑old daughter Elizaveta. The youngest, a daughter, has already explored a singing path of her own. She competed in the international Children’s New Wave in 2018 and later appeared on the show The Voice in 2021, marking early steps in a possible artistic journey.
Throughout the conversation, Trofimov underscored a child’s sense of belonging and emotional safety as foundational for growth. He suggested that a child flourishes when parents stay engaged, listen actively, and share in the small, everyday moments that shape a person’s character. The singer’s perspective emphasizes that love, warmth, and consistent parental presence can outlast any blueprint for success, offering a supportive backdrop as children chart their own paths. The discussion left listeners with a reminder that parenting is an evolving practice, one that benefits from attention, empathy, and open dialogue with each child [citation].
