Personal life
When Natalia Bestemyanov got up a couple with Andrei Bukin, he was in a relationship with the girlfriend Natalia Olga Akankina. And soon they got married, but this fact did not prevent anyone to attribute to figure skaters.However, the heart of the athlete since childhood was given to another person. Seeing the speech of Igor Bobrina on TV, Bestayyanov in absentia fell in love with him. However, many Soviet girls then "suffered" on a talented and charismatic figure.
At that time, Bobrin was married to Natalia Ovchinnikova, they raised the Son Maxim. There were no thoughts to break the family, there was no Bestayanian. Once on the demonstration performances, Natalia and Igor put in a couple, then the first real feelings were originated.

Couple has no children. The figure skater explained to the interview that he never sought to motherhood, as he always considered the realization of a creative career with his call.
