A real Georgian macho is Soso Pavliashvili! Over the many years of his musical solo career, he was credited with romances with various domestic singers, including the famous singer Irina Ponarovskaya in the 90s, as well as Irina Allegrova. However, until today no one knew how love stories influenced his life. Watch the episode “Let them talk” “The Real Wives of Soso Pavliashvili” dated 07/02/2015 (repeat from 06/24/2014)
Two wives of Soso Pavliashvili
Nino Uchaneishvili is the name of Soso’s first and only official wife today. The woman lives in the capital of Georgia and is ready to openly talk about her husband, who has been living with another woman in Moscow for many years.
When Pavliashvili returned from the army, he married Nino, and then went to Moscow, as he dreamed of making a career as a singer there. After a while, having become popular, he met Irina Ponarovskaya. Nino was very worried, as she had heard more than once in newspapers and on TV about her husband’s affair with the singer. Soso denied everything. Later, the man met a young 16-year-old girl, also named Irina Patlakh, and she subsequently bore him two daughters, despite the fact that Pavliashvili is still not married to her.
“I don’t like when they demand something from me, when they put pressure on me, and Ira understands this very well,” the singer said in an interview.
Today you will find out and see everything: whether Soso Pavliashvili was forgiven by his legal wife Nino, who is the mother of his adult son, as well as the meeting of two wives in the “Let Them Talk” studio! All the secrets and real wives of Soso Pavliashvili are on this air.

The artist’s first and legal wife also came to Moscow for the “Let Them Talk” program. She went into the hall after Irina and sat down with her on the same sofa. And then Soso himself appeared in the studio and presented both ladies with huge bouquets of white roses.
Soso's sister and children
Soso Pavliashvili treats women like a true Georgian - with love and respect. His first wife is friends with his current wife, and this does not surprise the singer at all: two worthy women will always find a common language.
First love
Soso Pavliashvili played the violin from the age of six and after school decided to go to study at the conservatory. But in his first year he had no time for the instrument: Soso met Nino. Love flared up like a match and continued to burn even when Pavliashvili was called up for military service.
From the army, he wrote her 5 letters a day and could not wait for the day when they would see each other again.
The violin was finally a thing of the past: in the service, Soso began to gravitate more toward pop music and, returning to Tbilisi, got a job at VIA Iveria. At his and Nino’s wedding there was a large and friendly crowd. Soon their son Levon was born, and Pavliashvili began to work hard so that the family would not need anything.
To grow as a musician, he needed to go to Moscow. Nino did not object, but she could not follow her husband - her sick mother lived in Tbilisi, for whom there was no one else to care. Soso said goodbye to his family and went to the capital.
Triumph
Pavliashvili's birth as a solo artist occurred at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. He came there as part of Iveria, but one day he decided to take an adventure: he went on stage and sang the famous Georgian song “Suliko”. The audience was delighted and did not let Soso leave the stage for a long time.
He consolidated his success at the All-Union Music Competition in Jurmala. The great Irina Ponarovskaya sat on the jury and did not take her eyes off the young singer. Pavliashvili’s passionate performance impressed her so much that she invited him to sing a duet - for Soso this was a real ticket to the big stage.
“Ira made a big contribution to my development,” states the singer. “We did a lot for each other, we had a very stormy relationship, we lit each other up.” Ponarovskaya became a queen next to me,” said Pavliashvili.
Rumor immediately married the vibrant duo. In distant Tbilisi, Nino realized that her marriage had come to an end - although in fact she and Soso continued to remain husband and wife. Ponarovskaya was also married, but if Pavliashvili had taken even one decisive step, she would have immediately broken up with her husband.
This did not happen. In 1997, the singer officially divorced his wife, but not for the sake of Ponarovskaya. At this time, another girl appeared in his life.
Savior
One day, when Pavliashvili was working in a recording studio, a young girl came in and asked to record one of his songs on a disc - for a school prom. Ira Patlakh was only 16 years old at the time, Soso was twice as old. He now calls his former self “an all-Union womanizer.”
He liked the brave graduate so much that he decided to continue communication - and Ira, of course, could not resist the charms of the Georgian.
But before enjoying happiness with her loved one, the girl had to literally bring Soso back from the other world. Shortly before they met, the singer was in a car accident, after which he began to suffer from epileptic attacks. The treatment had almost no effect: attacks occurred at night, and there was no relief.
“Then he didn’t care about anything - not about family, not about love, not about me. But I knew that my love was enough for both of us,” she recalled.
The disease went away on its own after the birth of their first daughter together, Lisa. The second daughter, Sandra, finally completed the transformation of the former womanizer into the respectable head of the family. Soso Pavliashvili first moved his family to a large apartment, then built a house for them in the Moscow region, and only after that he finally made an official proposal to Irina.
This happened during his anniversary concert: the 50-year-old singer knelt down in front of the mother of his children and presented an engagement ring. Ira confirmed the consent she gave many years ago when she was still a very young girl.
Mom instilled in her son a love of music. By the age of six, little Soso had mastered the violin and began to take an active part in various competitions and youth concerts. After graduating from school, Pavliashvili entered the Tbilisi Conservatory. At the final exams, Son received the highest score and became one of the most famous graduates of the Tbilisi Conservatory throughout its existence.
After graduating from university, Soso Pavliashvili was called up to serve in the army, where he began performing in an ensemble. It was there that he first discovered himself as a vocalist, and not just as a violinist. After finishing his service, he decided to pursue a career as a pop performer, but did not do it right away.
After demobilization, Soso Pavliashvili soon became one of the musicians of the legendary Georgian band Iveria, which became famous in the 1970s. Together with the ensemble, Soso gained irreplaceable experience by touring throughout the Soviet Union.
In 1989, Pavliashvili went to a music competition in Jurmala, deciding to prove himself as a vocalist, where he was awarded the main prize of the festival. The victory brought him popularity, and already in 1993 he released his debut album entitled “Music for Friends.”
In 1996, he recorded his second album, “Sing with Me,” which, like the first, was a success. In 1997, Soso played a role in the film “The Newest Adventures of Pinocchio.”
In 1998, the artist’s next, third album “Me and You” was released, followed at intervals by “About My Love”, “A Georgian is Waiting for You!”, “The Best Songs for You”, “Remember the Georgian” and “Oriental Songs” .
Pavliashvili also took part in the filming of several feature films and TV series - these are: “Ice Age”, “Friendly Family”, “On the corner of the Patriarchs - 3”, “33 square meters”, “Lost the Sun”, “First Ambulance”, “ Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors", "Daddy's Daughters", "Happy Together", "Golden Key", "New Year's Matchmakers", "Kiss Through the Wall", "The New Adventures of Aladdin", "8 First Dates" and "The Last of the Magicians".

Famous singer Soso Pavliashvili spoke about his affair with Irina Ponarovskaya and the consequences of a terrible car accident.
“Ponarovskaya and I lit each other up”
In 1989, the unknown performer Soso Pavliashvili won the Grand Prix at the All-Union Music Competition in Jurmala. A year later, a hot Georgian guy burst onto the Russian stage. His patron was the popular singer Irina Ponarovskaya, who sat on the jury of the very competition where the novice performer had his first triumph. Behind her were two failed marriages and a child, the wounded female heart was inflamed with love for the temperamental Soso. They began to sing a duet, and rumor immediately married them.
“Ira made a big contribution to my development,” states the singer. – We did a lot for each other, we had a very stormy relationship, we lit each other up. Ponarovskaya became the queen next to me.
The entire Soviet Union was talking about their romance, and at this time Soso’s legal wife Nino Uchaneishvili and his little son Levan were waiting in his native Tbilisi. This woman was the only one to date with whom Soso went to the registry office - they got married in 1986. She waited two years for him to get out of the army; Having returned, the Georgian macho proposed and, according to tradition, kidnapped the bride. In 1987, Levan was born to them. When the boy was three years old, his father left to conquer Moscow.

“I was in Tbilisi for three days a year - well, what kind of relationship can there be,” exclaims Pavliashvili. - When we got together, I was 19 years old, and Nino was 18 - young, hot, succumbed to euphoria. Then I went into the army, wrote her five letters a day. When I served, we got married, Levan was born, but I had to leave for Moscow, I had to build a career. She was only listed as my wife in my passport; we stopped living as husband and wife. In Moscow I had my own life with good and bad sides. Our separation is fate, it was necessary.
– He was credited with relationships with many famous singers. I was very jealous, I only told my husband about it once. He denied everything, but I understood everything,” Nino openly confessed in one of her television interviews. “At that time I couldn’t go to Moscow for my husband; I had a sick mother in Tbilisi, whom no one but me could care for.
While Nino still hoped to return the relationship, he already knew that a bold period could not be corrected with a comma. In the capital, passions were in full swing with Irina Ponarovskaya, who was also married to urologist Dmitry Pushkar at that time (the marriage lasted from 1986 to 1997 - Author).
“You and I - the candles don’t go out until the morning, you and I - and nothing else is needed,” Soso and Irina sang.
He shouted to her: “You, like my angel, will always be with me,” she slowly sang along: “I am with you.”
This turned out to be one of the couple's last performances together; however, they sang together most often for the first three years, and in subsequent years they only repeated for encores in order to shed balm on the souls of the audience. In 2002, the duo finally broke up. Soon Ponarovskaya left the stage. She waited a long time for the cherished proposal from Soso, but it never came.

“Everyone went their own way.” If Ira had sung until today, I assure you, she would have been in the trio “Pugacheva - Rotaru - Ponarovskaya”. I am truly sorry that she left the stage. We haven’t seen each other for many years, and I don’t know anything about her fate.
– Do you regret that things didn’t work out with Irina?
- Of course not! I am now happy with my beloved wife and children!
After the breakup with Soso, there were no more men in Ponarovskaya’s life. She has become almost a recluse, rarely gives concerts and does not communicate with journalists. The singer devotes all her time to her 30-year-old son Anthony, who has become an artist. According to media reports, since 2010 the singer has spent most of her time in Norway, where her son and his wife live.
Soso’s ex-wife Nino also never got married after her relationship with the Georgian macho. Her son Levan became the main man in her life.
– When I was in Moscow, and he was in Tbilisi, we were just crazy about each other; if I came, my son did not leave me a single step,” recalls Pavliashvili.
In 2002, when Levan was 15 years old, Soso decided to take him to Moscow, fearing that away from his father he might fall into bad company. In the capital, he sent him to the Suvorov School. Now the singer’s son is engaged in the construction business.
I suffered from epileptic seizures for 7 years
For 19 years now, Soso has been living in a civil marriage with Irina Patlakh. They met when she was only 16 years old. The girl accidentally walked into Pavliashvili’s recording studio, met him there and asked him to rewrite one of the songs on a disc in order to sing it at the school graduation.
Soso Pavliashvili / Vladimir Chistyakov
– Until we were 20 years old, we were just friends, and then I announced to my parents that we would live together with Soso.
Irina’s relatives were shocked by the news that one of the country’s main womanizers, and this is precisely the role assigned to Pavliashvili, would become their daughter’s partner. Over time, Soso found the key to their heart, and now he has an excellent relationship with Ira’s parents.
“Irochka appeared at a time when it was very difficult for me. . My extremely drunk friend was driving. He began to become wildly aggressive, and I understood that I couldn’t let him go alone. We drove home, and a woman in black with a child suddenly appeared on the road. No one understood where it came from; there was no crossing on this section of the road. The friend turned sharply to the side, and the car crashed into the curb at breakneck speed. A strong blow, and that’s it – he switched off. I woke up in the hospital, I had a severe concussion, and there was not a scratch on the driver. I was treated for a long time, I was regularly examined, and the doctors themselves allowed me to continue touring. A year after the accident, epileptic seizures began. I started going to church often. Apparently, God heard my prayers and sent me Irochka.
For 7 years the singer could not get rid of seizures, and it seemed that there was no way out...
Four years later, a second daughter, Sandra, appeared in the Pavliashvili family.
– I have a great responsibility - I have to make my girls happy, with God’s help, I hope this will work out.
From a womanizer to an ideal family man
The accident divided the singer's life into before and after. The hot, handsome man and reveler became a believer and an exemplary family man.
“Oh, how many women I’ve had before, and what kind of women it makes my hair stand on end,” Soso confesses. – Now in my life there is only Ira. I'm very happy that I have her.

“A white veil, like a white angel, will bring happiness,” Pavliashvili sang in his wedding hit, but he himself could not bring himself to say the cherished words: “Be my wife.” Soso’s chosen one has been in the status of “cohabitant” for almost two decades. On October 16, 2014, at a concert in Moscow, Irina and her two daughters appeared on stage with Pavliashvili. The singer knelt down in front of his beloved and presented her with a box with an engagement ring.
“Let’s do it, let’s have a wedding,” Soso waves it off. “We just don’t have the opportunity yet; we’re busy building a house.”
Three years ago, a singer, an hour's drive from the capital.
“My house is being built by wonderful people - they pray first, and only then eat,” Pavliashvili is delighted with his builders. – I hope that we will be able to move there by the New Year. If this happens, then next year we will celebrate the wedding, unless, of course, Irochka changes her mind (laughs).
On two floors of the singer's house there are eight living rooms, a large living room, a veranda, a 15-meter Indonesian-style spa pool, and a corner with exercise equipment.
“And over time, I want to build a real Russian bathhouse on the site,” the singer shares his plans. – I’m not a supporter of huge pretentious palaces; on the contrary, I want a village house. I still dream about the Georgian village where I visited my relatives as a child. I will have a small house, the main thing is that I can feel it all.
“The doors of the house are always open for the ex-wife”
Now Soso and his family live in luxury apartments near the center of Moscow.

- I moved everyone here. Ira’s parents live in the next apartment, and son Levan lives on the floor above. My parents from Tbilisi often come to visit us, my mother cooks so well that during her stay I gain a lot of extra pounds. His mother Nino comes to visit Levan, we are on excellent terms with her, I respect this woman very much. My daughters love her very much, Ira also found a common language with her. The doors of my house are always open to my ex-wife.
– We celebrated in my restaurant in Moscow, this time there were not as many people as usual – 70 people. All our relatives came, my children, of course, were there. Among my colleagues, Igor Sarukhanov, Alexey Chumakov, Yulia Kovalchuk came (but, by the way, Irina Allegrova, with whom the singer sang a duet, did not come. - Author). My son gave me cufflinks, my wife gave me five hiking suits and backpacks for traveling. One confectionery company gave me a gift: a cake with a wolf pack on top: I am depicted as a wolf, Ira is a she-wolf, the children are wolf cubs. It was not a cake, but a work of art. When I asked how much I owed for such beauty, they answered me: “Soso, you have done so much for us, you help us so much in life with your songs, we won’t take a penny.” I was very pleased to hear this, but it’s just a pity that at my age I don’t even have the title of Honored Artist, but I should have been a people’s artist for a long time. But I have never asked anyone for anything and never will!
