Ukrainian showman, singer, and TV host Uncle Zhora, known for his charisma and energy, has recently been sharing with fans not only new musical projects but also intimate details of his family life. The artist, who is a father of many, has opened up about his relationships with his three daughters — Ulyana, Ustina, and Amina, whom he raises together with his wife Natalia.
Democracy and Openness: How Relationships with Children are Built
The main principle on which Zhora's family is built is openness and democracy. The showman emphasizes that he has developed friendly relationships with each of his daughters, allowing them to discuss any topic. In their family, there are no taboo subjects: from choosing a partner to the technical nuances of driving a car.
"We are all open. They always come to me, we always talk, whether it's about relationships with guys, what to drink, or how to drive a car. The eldest has already passed her driving test, we are teaching the middle one," the artist admitted.
The Friday Evening Tradition
A special place in the family's life is occupied by a tradition that Uncle Zhora even immortalized in his creative work. In the song "Yaskravi Momenti" (Bright Moments), there is a line reflecting a real family practice: "Together in the Carpathians, together around the world, or simply in the kitchen drinking a little wine".
This phrase describes the ritual of the whole family gathering in the kitchen on Fridays. It is during these hours that relatives share news, discuss the past week, and simply spend time together. For the showman, this is not just rest, but a way to maintain an emotional connection.
The Art of Avoiding Conflicts
When asked if there are disagreements in the family, Uncle Zhora answered affirmatively, but with an important caveat: conflicts arise extremely rarely. The host admitted that he possesses intuition that allows him to recognize rising tension in time and tries to prevent it from escalating into a quarrel.
"I immediately see that tension is building up and I don't allow it. We don't conflict. If they want to say something, they say it. I am a supporter of the idea that everyone has their own opinion," he noted, emphasizing the importance of respecting the personal space and opinion of each family member.
New Track "Graduation" and Personal Experience
The theme of children growing up and school holidays became central to the artist's new musical release — the song and music video "Graduation". Uncle Zhora describes this project as an emotional story about saying goodbye to school and starting a new stage of life.
"I wanted to create a song that will live for years. A song in which today's graduates will recognize themselves, and parents will feel those special emotions when they look at their children and realize how quickly time has passed," the track's author said.
How Uncle Zhora Celebrated Graduations
Organizing holidays for his daughters became a matter of honor for the showman. Relying on his experience as a host and organizer, he strove to make these events bright and unforgettable. The artist also recalls his own school graduation, which took place in a traditional format: congratulations in the assembly hall, dancing in the gym, meeting the sunrise, and a hike.
However, for his children, he prepared a large-scale show with a host and a bright program. "Graduation is an event that happens once in a lifetime, so you need to make a bright holiday. As a host and holiday organizer, I always say: do not spare emotions," Uncle Zhora concluded.
