Santa biography. Santa Dimopoulos - biography of the new Viagra soloist. Singles by Santa Dimopoulos

To be a soloist of VIA “Gra” already means to be a sexy, graceful, liberated and self-confident beauty with excellent vocal and dancing abilities. A girl who does not possess this bouquet of qualities has no place in the famous ensemble. This is the Ukrainian pop star Santa Dimopoulos.

Beginning of the biography

Famous Russian model and dancer Santa Dimopoulos (real name Chrysanthia) was born in May 1987 in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. Her family is of Ukrainian-Greek-Assyrian origin. That is, on her father’s side she has Greek and Assyrian roots, and on her mother’s side she has Ukrainian roots. For Santa's mother, Lyudmila Ivanovna, marriage to Yanis Dimopoulos was the second. From the first she already had a daughter - Santa's half-older sister. However, this marriage did not last long, and when the girl was only a few years old, her father left the family. He continued to raise his beloved daughter. Unfortunately, he died of cancer in 2004, and from the age of 17 she grew up without her father's support.

Childhood and youth

Since childhood, little Santa has been professionally engaged in ballroom and sports dancing and even won the champion title several times at various city, republican and international competitions. Later she received the title of Master of Sports. After the death of her father, Santa gave up dancing and decided to get a serious profession: she entered the law faculty of the Kyiv National University.

Love tandem Santa Dimopoulos - Dzhedzhula

While studying at the university, the girl meets the famous showman and TV presenter Andrei Dzhedzhula. Tender feelings arise between them, and the couple in love begins to live together. After some time, Santa finds out that she is pregnant, and in October 2008, Andrei and Santa’s son, Daniel, is born. But the young mother needs to continue her studies, so Lyudmila Ivanovna takes care of the baby.

Path to glory

In addition to her ability to dance, Santa also had excellent vocal abilities. For some time she was the lead singer of the group “Seventh Heaven”. At the same time she worked as a model at the Karin modeling agency. Two years before the birth of her son, in 2006, Dimopoulos Santa Yanisovna took part in the Miss Ukraine competition and took one of the prizes. The jury was simply fascinated by the brunette beauty. Thanks to her passion for fitness and bodybuilding, Santa Dimopoulos, whose height, weight and other body parameters are simply ideal (173 cm/52 kg; 89/60/90), in 2011 in Thailand won the title of world champion in bodybuilding and fitness among girls taller 165 cm.

Santa and VIA Gra

In 2009, the vocal competition “Star Factory - 3” started on Ukrainian television. Santa Dimopoulos took part in it. And the music producer of the show was Konstantin Meladze. The sexy and talented girl stood out among the participants in the “Factory” show, therefore, when Nadezhda Granovskaya left the “VIA Gra” group, Konstantin Meladze, without hesitation for a long time, invited Santa to take Nadya’s place in the legendary ensemble. The young singer gladly accepted this tempting offer. Soon, all of Ukraine, and Russia too, were talking about the new charming soloist of the most popular vocal and instrumental group. Throughout the year, her photographs graced the covers of many media outlets; she gave interviews and shared with the reader the secrets of her beauty and irresistibility. However, Santa did not last long in the team. A year later, she left VIA Gra, starting a solo career. Also in 2011, Santa graduated from the National University of Ukraine and received a law degree.

Wedding

In the fall of 2012, the most beautiful wedding of 2012 took place in the beautiful Italian castle of Orsini-Odescalchi, where the groom was businessman and billionaire Vladimir Samsonenko, and his charming bride was the inimitable Santa Dimopoulos. The singer's husband decided to celebrate the wedding in the unusually romantic setting of an ancient castle and make his beloved's long-time dream come true. The bride looked like a real medieval beauty princess, as if by magic she had found herself in the 21st century. However, the idyll of the newlyweds did not last long, and a year later the couple went home. A long time was avoided because the young people were not registered in the registry office. By the way, there were rumors in the press that it was not a real wedding, but a “show-off” wedding, a kind of publicity stunt, part of the PR campaign of the singer and businessman.

What is Santa Dimopoulos doing today?

This year, the son of Andrei and Santa Daniel turned 6 years old, he is already a completely grown-up boy and is going to school. Despite the fact that from birth his grandmother, Larisa Ivanovna, was the only one raising him, Andrei always tried to be there for his son, and at the beginning of this year he managed to persuade Santa to give him the child. Of course, this decision was not easy for her, but for the sake of her son, she took this step. The boy should grow up next to his father, and his mother will visit him often. Santa spends a lot of time in the gym to maintain the beauty of his body. They say she is getting married again. This is evidenced by her photo on social networks with a ring on the ring finger of her right hand. However, no one knows anything about the singer’s future fiancé; she keeps it in the strictest confidence. Journalists, in turn, share their guesses. Some say that Santa's new lover is Sergei Lazarev, while others suggest that this is Anya Sedokova's ex-husband - Maxim Chernyavsky.

Videos and songs of Santa Dimopoulos

The singer’s most popular videos are “Hello, Mom!”, “In Sorrow and Joy,” “I Don’t Know Why,” etc. She recently presented the songs “I’m Running Away” and “When we move.”

Santa Dimopoulos is a successful lady in all endeavors. She is a wonderful singer, wife and mother. A former member of the groups “Seventh Heaven” and “VIA Gra”, she is currently the lead singer of the pop group Queens. World champion in fitness and bodybuilding (2011).

Childhood and youth

Santa Dimopoulos was born into a Ukrainian and Greek family, so from childhood she absorbed the culture of both nations equally well. In addition to secondary school, the girl attended music (pop vocals) and dance (she studied professionally, received the title of Master of Sports) clubs. At school she actively participated in all events and loved the stage.

I never felt a particular craving for science and exact knowledge, but at the guidance of my parents I entered the Faculty of Law of the Kyiv National University and in 2011 received a diploma of higher education. But the work of a lawyer seemed incredibly boring to Santa, so soon after graduating from university she firmly decided to connect her life with the stage.

By the way, during her student years the girl made her debut on the podium; Moreover, in 2006 she took third place in the Miss Universe Ukraine beauty contest. And in 2011, she won a competition in Thailand and became the absolute world champion in bodybuilding and fitness.

Music career

The singer’s first group was the famous pop group “Seventh Heaven” - over several years of performances, Santa managed to give a huge number of concerts and show herself at her best. The singer herself has admitted more than once that these years are still very dear to her and she remembers them with some trepidation and sadness, despite all the disagreements that arose in the team. The girl still maintains warm relations with former members of the team. Santa left the group of her own free will and doesn’t hold grudges against anyone: “Just at one moment, I realized that I was capable of more.”

Indeed, the singer’s potential turned out to be much higher, and she was able to prove it. In 2009, she took part in the project “Star Factory-3” (Ukrainian version) under the mentorship of Konstantin Meladze. Santa was a finalist on the show; largely thanks to a memorable demonstration of talent, in December 2011 she became one of the three members of the VIA Gra trio, taking the place of the “brunette of the group” Nadezhda Granovskaya.

With each day of working in the team together with Eva Bushmina and Albina Dzhanabaeva, with each concert, the girl felt more and more confident and less than a year later, at the beginning of October 2012, she left the group to devote herself entirely to a solo career. The singer's first single was the song "When We Move".

After leaving VIA Gra, the singer tried herself as an actress, starring in a number of commercials, for example in an advertisement for Ukrsibbank (2010) and the EnerGo drink (2011).

In 2014, together with her childhood friend Yulia Kovaleva, the girl began entrepreneurial activity. The ladies opened a prestigious boutique “Gold Vintage” in Kyiv. In a relatively short period of time, the store gained great popularity among the Ukrainian elite. As the star herself noted: “The stage is, of course, very good, but I constantly want something new, bigger and unknown.”

Personal life of Santa Dimopoulos

The beauty of the rising star captivated many men. On October 29, 2008, Dimopoulos made the favorite of the Ukrainian public Andrei Dzhedzhulu a happy father, giving him a son, Daniel.

On September 18, 2012, Santa became the legal wife of successful entrepreneur Vladimir Samsonenko. The wedding ceremony took place in Italy, in a castle with the romantic name Orsini-Odescalchi. According to eyewitnesses, everything was like a fairy tale. Alas, in 2013 the marriage also broke up. No one ever found out the reasons for this - some sources indicated that the husband turned out to be unfaithful and was caught by his wife in the hot seat, and with her best friend.

More recently, Santa Dimopoulos appeared on the covers of all popular media as the new soloist of the pop group VIA Gra, which was presented to the public as the 2011 world champion in bodybuilding and fitness. The girl certainly looks very impressive, but the biographies of modern stars are often made up, so it was decided to check this “legend”. Read on to find out more about the search results for her professional performances.

Santa Dimopoulos is a famous Ukrainian singer born on May 21, 1987 in the capital of Ukraine (then still the Ukrainian USSR) - Kyiv. Since childhood, the girl began to get involved in sports and eventually became a master of sports in ballroom dancing.
In addition to dancing, the new soloist of VIAGRA was also fond of singing and even performed as part of the Ukrainian group “Seventh Heaven”. In 2009, she became a participant in the Ukrainian Star Factory, which was then produced by Konstantin Meladze (also a producer of VIA Gra). But Santa didn’t last long there and was one of the first to leave.

Possessing excellent external data, Santa Dimopoulos even posed for men's magazines. Regular workouts at the fitness club help her look great - another Santa hobby that made her a world champion. In October 2011, at the Asian World Championships in Bodybuilding and Fitness, held in Bangkok, Santa Dimopulos (Khrysanti Dimopulos) received first place in the category of female model physique over 165 centimeters.

Thus, we can safely say that her biography is not fictitious and the girl has really been involved in sports for a very long time. These are the kind of pop stars our country can really be proud of, and the more winners of fitness championships appear on screens, the more girls and boys will watch their figure and go to the gym.

At the end of the article, I suggest you watch a couple of videos with Santa. In the first eight-minute one, she talks a little about her biography, and also enters the Ukrainian star factory. In the second video you will see a news story about Santa Dimopoulos.

- We now have another round of unpleasant relations with Santa Dimopoulos. We have had a conflict over our son for a long time. I somehow picked him up from kindergarten on my own because she was going somewhere. She didn't like it. I also flatly refused to celebrate my child’s birthday together.“,” the presenter commented and added that he had repeatedly received threats from his ex-wife. According to Dzhedzhula, he will resolve this situation and sort things out with Santa through the courts.

For the scandal to be full-fledged, you need to hear the other side of the conflict. As you already understood, an hour later a short interview with Dimopoulos appeared on the tsn.ua website.

- I think they gave him a good hit on the head,- Santa was indignant. - He needs to see a psychiatrist. In five years I have already understood this. It seems to me that he is simply crazy if he thinks that I am capable of this. I never forbade him to see my son. I think he needs to talk to a psychiatrist. I will probably ask to do this in court. Because he is insane. We always had problems for five years. It is difficult to communicate with him, he is very aggressive. This concerns not only me, but also the child. I don't know what he did that he's being attacked. He blames me. He can accuse me of all mortal sins - this is nonsense. I don't know what happened. I am so far removed from this man and his motives. I just don't know why this happened to him. I am very worried about my child in this aspect. God forbid if a child were next to him at that moment, if he saw this!

Dimopoulos looks at Dzhedzhula’s relationship with her child in her own way.
