Dominic biography. Dominic Joker: biography
Ukrainian and Russian singer Dominic Joker became famous wide circles viewers thanks to his participation as a singer at the “Star Factory” in 2004. He has already achieved significant success while embarking on this project: in the mid-90s, Joker was a member of the boy band “2+2”, recognized by the public. At the same time, he showed himself as a talented composer. After graduating from the “Star Factory,” Dominic organized the group “Banda” and its debut album broke all popularity records. After the group broke up, Joker began to do solo career, proving himself to be an excellent singer, arranger and producer. Having become a star, Dominic starred in several films and is now one of the recognizable and beloved performers on the modern stage. Very little was known about Dominic Joker's wife in the media until news of their separation appeared.
Albina Breslavskaya was the Joker's wife for many years and they have two sons: Martin, eleven, and Marcus, who is now eight. According to Dominic himself, his wife, a landscape designer by profession, was never particularly interested in his career and was busy with housekeeping and raising children. She is almost indifferent to music, and the boys born in 2005 and 2008 occupied all of her free time. Albina only has a little freedom left for the gym, beautician and shopping. In addition, the happy Joker, picking up his wife from the clinic after the birth of his second son, proudly and joyfully told reporters that they were planning to have another daughter, whose name they had chosen in advance, Eva. The growing boys are divided in their interests: Martin is most interested in sports, and his younger brother shows an aptitude for singing and performing arts.
What was the relationship between the Breslavsky spouses (the name given to the Joker at birth is Alexander Alexandrovich Breslavsky) is now quite difficult to say. Some media write that they deteriorated long before Dominic's infatuation with his new girlfriend, others write that nothing in the family foreshadowed his insidious betrayal of his wife. The only fact that can be considered in this whole story is that at the end of 2015 the public was stunned by the news that the Joker had a lover - 27-year-old singer Ekaterina Kokorina from Barnaul. This couple met on the television project “Battle of the Choirs,” in which Dominic was the star mentor of a group that arrived from Altai. There they met so closely that the 35-year-old Joker, leaving his family, moved to another apartment, which became their love nest.
An interview appeared in the press with Albina, who shared with journalists the difficulties she had encountered with her children: her mother even came to her aid. She said that for her birthday the boys gave her a drawing of a woman holding the hands of two children. The father is not in this picture. It is impossible to say how true this information is, because the singer himself offers a completely different interpretation of events. According to him, he and his wife have been on the verge of divorce for a long time and quite calmly discussed this among themselves, and Catherine appeared with him almost a year after the family broke up. His ex-wife already has another man and he is not against the fact that Albina’s sons will be in the care of both separated spouses. True, that fateful “Battle of the Choirs” took place in 2014 and gossips claim that the Joker’s relationship with his ward has been going on for more than a year.
In any case, officially the version of complete agreement, reconciliation and agreement between ex-spouses. Dominic insists that the boys calmly assess the current situation and “live with two families.” He even posted pictures on the Internet in which he and Kokorina take part in a walk with youngest son Marcus: Martin can't always afford it because he has busy schedule training on figure skating. The Joker's relatives have already managed to like Catherine and they accept her as a daughter-in-law. Dominic Joker's wife, according to him, also managed to “find mutual language with Katyusha” and “to create a good atmosphere, since children live so easily and calmly” after their parents separated. Where is the truth here and where is it not, perhaps it will become clear later.
Dominic Joker is known not only as the performer of his tracks, which have become popular short term hits, he is also a successful composer, poet and producer. But the artist does not stop there and is constantly improving, implementing new projects and plans. He recently opened music studio where professional teachers teach beginners acting, vocals and choreography. However, it was not only his creative career: in the singer’s personal life there is also everything to be happy: his beloved girlfriend, two children, as well as warm friendly relations with ex-wife.
Dominic (Alexander Breslavsky) was born in 1980 in Odessa. His father is a Polish Jew, and his mother is Basconian, so for a long time his parents could not decide in what faith to baptize him. Nevertheless, they agreed, choosing several names of saints for the baby: Alex, Dominic and Alexander. Soon the father left the family, and the boy was raised by his mother and stepfather. Also in early childhood he became interested in music and wrote his first poem. As he grew older, the boy learned to play various instruments and studied music, but he was not at all interested in studying at school.

As part of this show, Dominic, together with other participants, created the group “Banda”, whose songs quickly gained popularity. After the collapse of the group, the artist began writing songs for Russian artists, and in 2008 he announced himself as a solo artist.
For a long time, the Joker hid his personal life, however, it was known that in 2006 he had his first family. His wife Albina gave birth to two sons to the artist: Martin and Makrus. However, already in 2013 the couple divorced. According to the singer himself, they broke up not because of betrayal, but because the relationship between them ended.
