August 6 is celebrated as the International Henpecked Day. Today we congratulate not only the men who are ready to fulfill the wishes of their beloved women, but also the girls who caught a tasty morsel. After all, a henpecked man is not necessarily a soft-hearted man who does not know how to refuse. He simply puts his lady in the foreground and does not consider her “whims” as something excessive.
We decided to gather together famous names who are proud of their title of “Helipecked” and who are not afraid to announce it to the masses.
Alexander Ovechkin
The Russian hockey player, left winger and captain of the NHL club Washington Capitals has been married to Vera Glagoleva’s youngest daughter Nastasya Shubskaya since 2016. In a recent interview, the athlete ironically noted that he “submitted to the matriarchy.” “If you don’t give up, as they say, you will get it. I am henpecked because I listen to my wife because she wants the best for me. Sometimes it turns out that I don’t listen to her, and the next day it backfires on me,” Ovechkin explained.
Vladimir Presnyakov
Presnyakov is about 20 years old with Natalya Podolskaya. But neither living together nor raising children prevents the couple from continuing their romance. According to Vladimir, by the age of 50 he realized that in most cases women’s advice is very wise. The artist emphasized that he often agrees with his wife’s opinion if she is right and not driven by emotions.
“I like when a woman is in charge. Yes, I’m a henpecked and I like it very much! I understand that, and my wife Natasha understands it too. This position is a fun game for us. Even if she forbids me to do something, it’s a game too. Although Tusya has a good education, she never crosses the line that cannot be crossed. My family is my priority, just like my family,” the singer shared.
Leonid Agutin
Leonid Agutin has been married to Angelica Varum since 2000. And no matter how much the press tries to spoil them, they remain together. The artist treats his wife touchingly and periodically leaves love messages on social networks. The singer is often criticized for his tenderness. However, the musician is not offended by the fact that his subscribers call him “henpecked.” The artist answered the haters: “I will not argue about the henpecked, but I dare to argue about the usual.”
Evgeni Plushenko
The Olympic champion has been with producer Yana Rudkovskaya for about 15 years. The skater never called himself a henpecked, but at the same time said that his wife replaced his late mother. “I listen to my wife, but if I have my own opinion, it is difficult to convince me, of course. Although I agree with Yana on most questions and positions. She is very similar to my mother with her stubbornness,” the athlete shared.
Sergei Shnurov
The founder of the Leningrad group has a wild temperament. And who would have thought that a musician is ready to pamper his wife in everything? True, we cannot say for sure how things are now in the artist’s personal life. But with his ex-wife Matilda, he behaved like a real gentleman. “It is noticeable that I am henpecked in my behavior, I always indulge in almost everything, I obey. What a ridiculous family,” Shnurov admitted.
At the same time, the artist did not deny that Matilda had a positive impact on his life, especially his career. “Before Matilda appeared, Leningrad was a g… I drank, Leningrad was a g… Nobody listened to that. Matilda came and the project became like this,” said Sergei.
Chris Hemsworth
The star of the movie “Thor” Chris Hemsworth never hid his tender feelings for his wife. “Elsa is my big win in the lottery of life,” the actor said. According to him, one of the most important rules of a happy marriage is to listen to each other and not compete for leadership.
Sylvester Stallone
The brutal appearance is deceptive. Action star Sylvester Stallone does not shy away from the fact that Jennifer is the head of the family. According to the actor, he is happy that his wife takes on most of the problems and thus keeps his marriage happy.
The artist said he made a “tragic mistake” when the couple almost divorced in 2022. The reason for the disagreement was Stallone’s busy schedule. He assured that he would no longer put work before family.
Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks has been with his wife Rita Wilson since 1988. According to the artist, his wife has always been and will remain the ideological leader and source of inspiration in his family. As it turned out, Hanks completely trusts her opinion and agrees with the decisions made. At the same time, when one of the couple feels bad, the other will definitely support and help without demanding anything in return.
