Apparently, the tragedy left an indelible mark on Charlize’s memory. Growing up, she was never able to build a happy relationship. Despite the fact that the press wrote about her numerous novels, she never got married. But she adopted two children.

After the divorce, I couldn’t afford to sit at home. It’s difficult for a single woman to make many decisions, especially regarding the family. I had nowhere to live, I had to rent a lot to pay off the loan I took from the bank to buy a two-room apartment in the center of Moscow. I have already repaid the loan, this apartment is all the property I have", Epple said.
46 of 46 The sons have an age difference of almost ten years, so Potap took on the role of father and raised Efim while I was on tour.

Famous single mothers who brilliantly cope with all responsibilities - who are they, and what can we learn from them?
Marriages, as they say, are made in heaven. But alas, they fall apart here on earth, and neither “mere mortals” nor star mothers are immune from divorces and separations. It would seem that it is much easier for celebrities to raise children even alone, but in fact, even famous mothers have a hard time alone. And yet they successfully combine their careers with raising children.

The world-famous diva failed twice in family relationships. First with Sean Penn, and then with Guy Ritchie. The first was a hooligan of all kinds, and the second turned out to be a very boring British gentleman who, despite his brutal films, did not want either publicity or chaos in his life.
Having “had enough” of family life, Madonna decided that she had had enough of this prison, and she would never marry again. The only thing Madonna cares about now is her children.
True, raising them is not easy. Daughter Lourdes grew up wayward, Rocco ran away from his strict mother to father Guy Ritchie, and it is still unknown how the fates of the adopted Mercy and David will turn out.
But Madonna tries very hard to be a good mom between concerts.
And this beautiful girl was unlucky in her marriage. Moreover, several times.
No matter how hard the beautiful Holly tried, all serious relationships ended in failure. The first husband, David Justice, beat her, the next (musician Eric Benet) shamelessly walked “to the left,” and Holly almost killed herself, and the relationship with the fashion model Aubrey ended in war when Gabriel wanted custody of their common daughter. The third official spouse was actor Olivier Martinez, but only for a couple of years.
Holly doesn’t want to get married anymore, and is raising her son Maceo and daughter Nala in splendid isolation.
Holly doesn't need alimony, she's successful enough to support her children, and even more so, she pays her former common-law partner Aubrey (Nahla's father) $20,000 a month.
The former “tatushka”, one of the vocalists of the sensational group “Tatu” in the “2000s”, today is a single mother. The successful trick with the unconventional relationships between the vocalists did its job: Volkova and Katina were known throughout the country - and beyond.
But in life, the girls did not change their orientation given by nature, and in 2004, Yulia gave birth to a daughter, Vika, from Pavel Sidorov, her own bodyguard.
Alas, the relationship did not work out, and after 3 years a son, Samir, was born from industrialist Parviz Yasinov. The marriage lasted 3 years.
Today, Yulia tries to devote all her free time to her children, and does not even think about a new relationship.
The details of the adventures of this star lady were savored by all the yellow newspapers in 2011.
Masha’s son Miron was born from a “Chechen businessman” who was not happy about the news and suggested that Masha go for an abortion.
The presenter and model, between separation and the baby, chose the second, who became her meaning of life.
After a while, Masha admitted that Makhno’s authority became Miron’s dad (approx. – Mamikhan Malsagov).
This Russian actress said goodbye to her second legal relationship and her businessman husband Dombrovsky in 2007.
Renata raised her daughter Ulyana, who was 5 at that time, alone, providing her with education at a Paris school.
Ulyana is surprisingly similar to her mother, and photos of this young model often appeared on the covers of fashion magazines.
In addition, the girl can boast of her film debut in 2014.
Despite the fact that Diana managed to officially “get married,” her twins (note: Marta and Artem) are not his at all. But Diana does not reveal the name of the father of her babies, born in 2010, to anyone. We only know that he is a Russian businessman living in the States.
Diana does not experience any discomfort from her status as a single mother, and she does not need a breadwinner husband - the singer copes well with financial issues and other issues.
During the tour, Arbenina leaves the children with their grandmother.
It is important to note that this year Diana was even presented with an award in the “Mom of the Year” category.
The child was not at all included in the plans of the singer and her friend, dancer Andrei Tsar. But, despite the priority of career in Loboda’s life, the girl decided to leave the random baby. So in 2011, daughter Evangelina was born. And, although after 3 years Andrei and Svetlana announced their separation, he continues to help his former lover and daughter.
Loboda does not consider herself a loner; she successfully copes with the role of a mother, even despite her busy schedule. She always believed that her love was waiting for her somewhere ahead, and fate would smile on her.
At the beginning of 2018, the singer’s fans were amazed by the news about Svetlana’s pregnancy from the famous and outrageous Till Lindemann, lead singer of the band Rammstein. In May, the singer gave birth to a daughter, and a little later the world learned the name of the newborn - Tilda. But whether it is Till Lindemann’s daughter is anyone’s guess; confirmation from Svetlana and Till has not yet been received.
Svetlana copes brilliantly with both her singing career and maternal responsibilities.
Surprisingly, she breastfeeds her youngest daughter, and if she leaves, she uses every opportunity to leave or donate breast milk for the newborn.
The peak of this actress's popularity came in the 90s, after which Sharon's level of professional activity began to decline due to the fact that the actress focused her attention on her personal life and motherhood.
The second marriage also ended in failure, and the result of the unsuccessful relationship was a court decision, according to which the adopted son Rowan - alas! — stayed with his adoptive father, Phil Bronstein.
Dejected, Sharon adopted two more children, Laird and Quinn.
Subsequent affairs with men did not become a reason for marriage, but the actress does not lose hope and believes that she will still meet her prince, who will love her along with her sons.
In the meantime, she is raising her children alone, trying to give them the best in this life.
In modern realities, women are forced to be independent. True, often the male sex does not get along with strong ladies and leaves their chosen ones, despite the children they have in common. Today, both average people and celebrities from Russia raise their children on their own. The editors have compiled a list of stars - single mothers.
