Biography

Born on March 29, 1976, in Chelyabinsk to a family of an officer and a draftswoman. Since childhood, she attended a theater group at the local community center and dreamed of becoming an actress. She married early and gave birth to a daughter, Marina, in 1995. The couple later divorced.
In 1997–1999, she worked as a waitress in the Chelyabinsk restaurant "Malakhit". In 1999, she met the famous Russian chanson singer Mikhail Krug there. He immediately offered her to work for him as a costume designer: "For about a year, our relationship did not go beyond the limits. Everything was on a strict note. It was as if he was looking at me, checking me out. He was in no hurry to make a choice. At that point, he had already been living alone for eight years. And a year later, he simply took me into his house with the words: "That’s it, we’ll live together!" In 2001, Mikhail and Irina got married. On May 26, 2002, their son Alexander was born.
On the night of June 30 to July 1, 2002, Mikhail Krug was killed by unknown assailants in his own home. After Mikhail's death, family friend Vladimir Bocharov, an author and performer who had previously collaborated with Mikhail, invited Irina to perform several of his songs written in memory of Mikhail. This is how her first album, "The First Autumn of Separation," was released.
In 2005, she graduated with honors from Tver State University.
From 2006 to September 2020, she was married to Tver entrepreneur Sergei Belousov.
On September 25, 2013, their son Andrei Sergeevich Belousov was born.
