Alexey Kabanov and Maria Alalykina in the “Star Factory”

The guests of the new issue of the YouTube show “Factory with Yana Chu” were members of the group “Roots”, the winners of the first season of the creative reality show “Star Factory”, which began in 2002. Yana Churikova asked the guys about the romance between the participants during the filming. One of the most discussed couples at that time was Alexei Kabanov and Maria Alalykina – they sang a duet, spent a lot of time together and hugged in front of the cameras. However, as Kabanov now explains, there was nothing between them – his sympathy for Masha was not mutual.

Kabanov agreed.

Churikova, in turn, explained how the rumors began – when editing the releases, the material was glued together so that the public had thoughts about the romantic relationships of young people.

Alalykina at first was unhappy with her duet with Kabanov, but then they still managed to work together. In the future, according to Alexei, Maria “understood everything”, and then they performed together without any problems, but the romance still did not happen. They sang “Love and Forget” at one of the reporting concerts, but their duet fell apart.

Kabanov became a member of the Roots group, which won first place. And Alalykina – a participant of the silver “Factory”. But the singer did not stay in the team for long. Starring in the video “About Love”, Alalykina left the group and disappeared from the party. Later it became known that for the sake of family life she left her career in show business: Alalykina got married and converted to Islam for the sake of her husband. This marriage ended and he remarried. According to some reports, Alalykina now lives in the North Caucasus, translates from Arabic and does not communicate with the media.

– said Mary’s sister in an interview with StarHit.

Alexey Kabanov is still a member of the Roots group. He is married and has an eight-year-old daughter, Alice, with his wife, Rosalia.
