The names of its representatives appear every now and then in business publications and gossip columns, but not everyone knows who is who in this family.

He was for me a teacher, a sage, a father, a husband, a friend, a helper, everything, he was God in general for me. You know, even now I don’t have enough conversations with him, because I have now become independent and strong. Sometimes I miss those times when I wanted to pretend to be weak, forget about stilettos, and just disappear into a man.

Now, apparently, everything is fine with Natalia again on the personal front: shortly before the release of the sensational interview, she published a romantic photo on Instagram with 52-year-old Armenian businessman Tigran Arzakantsyan, adding the caption “as one of the hashtags.” new story love."

However, after some time, the young man finally got hold of Martha’s phone number, and it turned out that they had a lot in common. They decided to get married just a couple of months after they met.

When people fall so in love with each other, there is no point in delaying the wedding. We all coincided in an amazing way,

— the girl said in an interview.

However, the marriage was not happy: the wife left the billionaire in the fifth month of pregnancy and returned to New York. Now she is raising them common daughter Martina, Rotenberg supports his daughter and ex-wife.
