short biography
Laysan Utyasheva, whose photos (hot) show a successful, beautiful woman shining with a happy smile, was born on June 28, 1985 in the village of Raevsky, Alsheevsky district, in Bashkiria. Her maternal grandfather, Sultangarei Kiraev, for a long time was the respected head of the village of Raevsky.
My father is a historian by education, my mother worked as a librarian. The beauty and giftedness of the girl was given by a bizarre mixture of Bashkir (maternal), Tatar, Russian and Polish (paternal) blood. On the day she was born, a warm summer rain poured down, so the girl was named Laysan ("affectionate", translated from Bashkir).
The family moved to Volgograd when the girl was 4 years old. Parents dreamed of seeing their daughter as a ballerina. However, somehow in the store Laysan with her mother saw Nadezhda Kasyanova, a gymnastics coach. Paying attention to the girl's amazing flexibility and plasticity, she persuaded her mother to send her daughter to the rhythmic gymnastics section.
Little Laysan, after the very first lesson, confidently declared that she would become the world champion, which made her family laugh, because the girl had just turned 4 years old.
Parents separated when Laysan was 11 years old. Soon, her mother left to work in Moscow, leaving Laysan in the care of a coach. A year later, in 1997, my mother took Laysan to Moscow. The girl entered the Olympic Reserve School and began to train with A. Yanina and O. Skaldina.
Childhood years were remembered for endless training, overcoming pain, training camps. Discipline in the national team was tough, no one was given concessions. Everything was very simple: if you don't want to work, leave.
Wiener never persuaded anyone or forced to work. It's just that every girl knew that she needed to give 100% every day if she wanted to stay in the national team. Laysan said that at every training session, they felt like they were at the World Championships.
The girl went through very hard when her father left the family, resentment for many years did not allow her to communicate with her father. He had a child in the second family. Only when her mother died, Laysan made an attempt to improve relations with her father, she called him to the funeral. But they never became relatives.
The father began to give interviews to the yellow publications, telling a lot of things that should not have been said, and interpreting many facts from his daughter's life in his own way.The relationship quickly broke down and gradually ended altogether.
In 2006, Utyasheva decided to end her sports career.
In 2007, Laysan danced the Goddess in the play "Bolero", directed by Androsov, at the "Imperial Theater" directed by Gediminas Taranda. The girl felt that she was able to tell the story of the Goddess more and more colorfully. Perhaps then the dream of creating your own dance performance was born.
She created and produces the show-performance Bolero by Liasan Utiasheva, with an emphasis on modern dance, where she invited the best dancers country. The team successfully tours the largest Russian cities, collecting a full house everywhere.
In the show Bolero by Liasan Utiasheva, the rhythmic gymnastics legend dances in a mixture of High Heels (a sensual, daring dance performed in high heels) and Vogue (a dance with a mannered gait and model posing), with elements of rhythmic gymnastics.
She learned to dance in just 3 months. Laysan is proud to have proven the ability of gymnasts to dance at the professional level.
In 2008, the autobiographical book "Unbroken" was published, where Laysan very frankly talks about herself, about the trials that fell to her lot, about her first unrequited love. Laysan considers it her great luck that she was invited to television. A new career, opportunities for self-realization helped her painlessly go through the difficult moment of leaving the sport.
Utyasheva dreams of acting in films, attends auditions, gets acquainted with the scripts, but has not yet found her role. And she is also preparing a reality project for the target audience - pregnant women, where she is going to share her motherhood experience.
In particular, how to cope with whims when a pregnant girl wants a herring with jam. Laysan assures that gustatory perversions are not useful for a child, you need to be able to cope with them, and Laysan is ready to teach you how to do this.
The payment for the enormous achievements in the sports career of Lyaysan Utyasheva was the undermined health. In 2002, performing with a demonstration program at a competition in Samara, she landed unsuccessfully. Multiple fracture of the scaphoid bone of the left foot and dehiscence of the bones of the right was the result of this error.
For a whole year, she trained and performed, overcoming unbearable pain. Laysan complained to the coach, but she accused the girl of laziness, a desire to attract attention to herself, she called her a capricious pretender. Doctors made a helpless gesture without revealing any pathologies. The Western tabloid press wrote that Russians like to cover up their failures with injuries.
This greatly offended the girl, she again went to the carpet, teeth clenched. Once, unbearable pain caused Laysan to faint during training.
Only then did Irina Viner take the girl for examination to Germany, where the girl was found to have a discrepancy in the bones of the right foot and multiple fractures of the scaphoid of the left. Doctors insisted on immediate surgery, saying that if she was delayed she would face amputation of her foot.
During the operation, metal implants were inserted into the left foot, and bone tissue was transplanted. The operation took place under X-rays, the surgeons called the courageous girl a pioneer, since it was a new method in surgery, tested on her. After the operation, there was a terrible depression, Laysan quickly ate the extra 8 kg.
Working with psychologists, the support of a coach, and the faith of her family gave her the strength to overcome depression and return to her previous weight. She ate kefir with a fork to drown out the feeling of hunger, swam every day, regardless of the cast, then dried the bandages with a hair dryer. Then she had 6 complicated leg operations, which lasted 6-7 hours, after which she walked on crutches for 2 years.
Laysan was shocked by the death of her mother, who was dying in her arms. Mom died at the age of 47 from a heart attack. Since then, the paralyzing fear for the life of her loved ones has not left her. This is the only thing she fears in life.
Laysan was one of the "golden three", which was supposed to represent the Russian national rhythmic gymnastics team in Beijing at the XXIX Summer Olympic Games. However, at another training session in April 2006, she suffered a dislocation of the knee joint. Plaster cast again, heavy recovery. Then the final decision came to leave the big sport.
Pavel Volya and Laysan began dating in 2010, and only in September 2012 they registered their marriage, when Laysan was already late in her pregnancy. Their feelings passed a real test of strength when their mother Laysan died. Pavel was there, organized a funeral, supported the girl, and became the closest and dearest.
Laysan was so upset by the death of her mother that she had to seek the help of a psychologist. There was no wedding, because this year was mourning. The young people simply signed at the regional registry office. Only after the birth of their son Robert did they call their closest friends and relatives.
Laysan says that she herself cooked manti, crumbled salads, and she was very pleased when Pavel's friends wondered at which restaurant it was prepared. The shocking TV presenter, known for his sarcasm and murderous humor, unexpectedly turned out to be a gentle, romantic husband who adores his wife.
Often from the stage, he confesses his love to his wife, says that Laysan is the main gift in his fate. With the birth of children, he showed himself as a loving, caring father.
The Volya family, where, in addition to Pavel, there is a sister, has become truly dear to Laysan. Pavel's parents help in raising their grandchildren. Utyasheva once admitted in an interview that she dreams of a big family, she would like to have 5 children.
Son Robert was born in May 2013, and exactly 2 years later, in May 2015, daughter Sophia was born. Laysan gave birth to both children in the USA. She explains this with a desire to fence off the annoying paparazzi.

This contradiction actually makes Laysan truly happy, living a full-blooded life filled with achievements and emotions.
Appearance in youth
Laysan Utyasheva, whose photos (hot) today show her in the prime of beauty and femininity, from childhood differed from her peers in her bright oriental appearance.
Almond-shaped gray eyes, a gentle look, a straight nose, a large mouth with a capricious curl of sensually puffy lips, large, even, as if cast, teeth, high thick eyebrows, high cheekbones, thick brown, curly hair made Laysan always an object of increased attention.
Plump cheeks, a radiant smile that shone on her face even during the most difficult tricks, touched the viewer, she was applauded while standing.
The girl was always inclined to be overweight, she had to adhere to a strict diet in order not to gain extra grams. In the family of coach Nadezhda Kasyanova, where the gymnast lived, when her mother left for Moscow, Laysan led a Spartan lifestyle. Daily long-term workouts and an extremely meager diet containing only healthy, according to the trainer, products.
Kiwi and cheese for breakfast, chicken broth with a slice of bread for lunch, yogurt for dinner helped to maintain the necessary slimness, but sometimes the feeling of hunger was excruciating. In addition, the trainer hung a bell on the refrigerator so that the door could not be opened silently. Today Laysan recalls with a smile how she sometimes ate dog food from the bowl of Berta, the trainer's fighting dog.
Appearance before plastic
Laysan once admitted that her cheeks are immediately rounded, as soon as she gains even 500 g extra. As soon as she loosened up the sports regime and allow herself extra food, the kilograms immediately gain.
During the first pregnancy, Laysan gained 29 kg, her weight increased by 27 during the second. As soon as she lifted Robert off her chest, she went on a strict diet, exhausted herself with many hours of training in the ballroom and quickly regained her former shape.
In children's and youthful photos of Laysan, she has the characteristic hanging of the upper eyelids over the eyes, which is characteristic of oriental girls, making the eyes "puffy", as if slightly sleepy. Round cheeks, plump lips gave her a childish touch and incredible charm.
With a height of 164 cm, Laysan weighed 50 kg. Her breasts were always small, for a gymnast this is a big plus, for girls they even pulled their breasts so that she would not grow.
Plastic surgery and their features
Laysan Utyasheva always denied rumors that she had undergone plastic surgery, claiming that she was against any plastic surgery. Although her photos (hot) eloquently indicate that there were interventions, she does not get tired of repeating that all these liposuction, braces, silicone are an unnatural and not very attractive props that only spoils young girls.
She assures that she will not resort to plastic surgery until she is 50. However, there are rumors circulating on the network that there were:
- blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids. Today her eyelids do not hang over her eyes so much, her eyes have widened, and her gaze has become more open;
- removal of Bish's lumps. As a result, the cheekbones have gained greater clarity, the cheeks have lost their childish plumpness.Although such a result was possibly achieved by augmentation of the cheekbones with fillers, or injections of lipolytics;
- lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid. The shape of the lips has not changed, only a seductive swelling has been added;
- mammoplasty. Laysan in her youth was very thin, with small breasts. But in the July 2019 photo, she appeared with a size 3 breast, which is not hidden by a revealing swimsuit;
- Laysan did not do rhinoplasty, plastic surgeons believe that she has a slight deviation of the nasal septum, which is usually accompanied by difficulty in breathing. It is this operation, experts say, that Laysan should be done. Although this tiny defect is completely invisible to an inexperienced viewer.
Appearance after plastic
When Laysan was breastfeeding her youngest daughter Sophia, she recovered greatly. Taking the baby away from her breast, she immediately got down to work on preparing a new dance program. Spending 6-7 hours a day in the dance hall, Laysan lost 9 kg.
The parameters of the figure Utyasheva today:
| growth | weight | breast volume | waist size | thighs | foot size |
| 164 | 50 | 94 | 59 | 87 | 37 |
The face of the secular diva after plastic surgery became more "sculpted", experts say. Facial features have become clear. Having got rid of the heavy, overhanging upper eyelids, the eyes became huge, wide open. Well-defined cheekbones, sunken cheeks, a perfectly tucked-up face shape, capriciously outlined plump lips, a straight nose and large, perfectly straight teeth give her face the features of a European type.
Beauty secrets
Laysan Utyasheva, whose photos (hot) show her always spectacular, glowing with happiness, admits that she loves everyone. Even when she gained the extra 29 kg after pregnancy, she loved herself.
The secret of an ideal figure lies only in proper nutrition and intense physical activity, Laysan believes. She spends many hours in the gym when time comes. In addition, Laysan runs every day. Jogging improves blood circulation, renews cells, and gives an amazing influx of strength.
She learned to love those foods that give the body the necessary energy and help keep itself in shape. The principle of "tasty - tasteless" should not dominate the choice of food, says Laysan.

It is important to have dinner before 19.00. Laysan loves green tea, freshly squeezed vegetable juices.
The presenter of the Beauty Academy rarely visits beauty salons. But she regularly does deep exfoliation of her face. It is this procedure that makes her skin clean, amazingly fresh and radiant, the TV personality admits.
Laysan does not risk drastically changing her appearance, in this sense she is quite conservative. But in July 2019, she unexpectedly appeared in the form of a long-haired blonde who had lost a lot of weight. The unusual image confused the fans, the star was inundated with letters asking about her health. In addition, she suddenly became like many glamorous blondes, losing her bright personality.
But today she returned to her usual brown hair color, again becoming such a familiar, irresistible, great Laysan Utyasheva, whom I want to look at and imitate her.
Favorite perfume of the star Instagram - "Montal" with the aroma of coffee, from the British company "Jo Malone London"... Laysan prefers bright red lipstick. Utyasheva considers Angelina Jolie to be the ideal of beauty and femininity, a real icon of style.

She knows how to cook and does it with pleasure for her beloved husband and children when she has free time. They love to get together for family dinner, but they rarely succeed.

Photos (hot) of this stylish, very beautiful woman, which combines provocative sexuality and aristocratic restraint, cause a heated discussion on social networks. She is gladly invited to appear in commercials. They admire her, they want to imitate her.
