IN 2013 In 2009, Sergei Melnik moved to the Belarusian football club Torpedo-BelAZ, which plays in the Major League of Belarus. In the first season, the footballer played only three matches, missing most of the season due to a cruciate ligament injury.

In season 2014 year, Sergei, having recovered from injury, became a first-team player and played 19 matches for the club.

In November 2014 In 2018, it became known that Sergei Melnik would become the main character of the Ukrainian show “Bachelor 5”. The show, hosted by , started on March 6 2015 year on the Ukrainian TV channel STB. The finale of the show took place on May 29 2015 year, Sergei’s chosen one was the charming 22-year-old blonde Marina.

At the end of March of the same year, Sergei took 17th place in the ranking of the 50 most stylish men in Belarus according to XXL magazine.

Sergei Melnik became widely known in Ukraine after participating in the “Bachelor” project. Before this, few people knew the football player who played for Odessa Chernomorets for a long time. The life of the young guy flowed smoothly. Sergei's main credo is always go towards your goal. From the article we will find out how the guy’s life turns out after the end of the TV show.

Dry facts

Sergei Melnik was born in Odessa. In a family of ordinary workers. Mom was an engineer, dad was a machinist. Sergei has a brother and sister. From childhood, the guy was taught self-control and tact. At the age of 8, dad took his son to the football section, where the coach noticed Sergei’s talent.

Sport has always come first. In 2008, the guy received an offer to play for the Chernomorets club. Having achieved significant success there, Sergei moved to the Odessa team. Currently plays for the Belarusian club.

Eligible bachelor

Sergei Melnik took part in the 5th season of the Bachelor project. A guy with an ideal figure, pumped up abs, blue eyes and a reserved character was loved by the whole country. Millions of viewers watched the love story.

Two beautiful girls reached the finals of the project: Marina and Lena. They were the opposite of each other not only externally, but also internally.

Marina Kishchuk is a girl who has already been married. She had a son, Matvey, whom she raised on her own. Marina impressed Sergei with her calm character. The girl had a lot of patience. Their dates were the most frequent, romantic, unforgettable. In one of the episodes, Sergei gave the girl a diamond pendant. The country gasped at the bachelor's generosity.

The second heroine was a girl with an eccentric character and charming appearance. Half the country wanted bachelor Sergei Melnik to choose her in the final. But it happened differently.

Life with Marina after the show

The audience breathed a sigh of relief when, at the post-show, presenter Rosa Al Namri announced that Sergei Melnik and Marina were still together. The couple spoke about the difficulties they had to endure on the set. It turns out that a spark broke out between the young people at their first meeting. It’s not for nothing that throughout the entire show the guy singled out Marina, made her unforgettable dates, and gave her diamonds.

After the cameras turned off and the spotlights went out, the lovers were finally able to relax, hug and start getting to know each other again. “The first thing Sergei did was ask for a mobile phone number,” Marina recalls.

Do not forget that Sergei Melnik is a football player who undergoes constant training and training camps. Immediately after the show, the guy flew to Belarus. The girl went after him. Since the finale of “The Bachelor” had not yet aired on television, the couple had to hide their relationship from prying eyes. They spent all this time together in Sergei’s apartment. We were only able to go to the cinema once.

Note that Marina has a son. At the first opportunity, Sergei flew to Ukraine and spent time on the playground with Matvey. The couple looked like a full-fledged young family: mother, father and child. The paparazzi did not miss the opportunity, and photos of the lovers appeared on the front pages of famous publications.

Sad love story

At the beginning of the year, information appeared like a bolt from the blue that Sergei and Marina had broken up. Moreover, the proposal came from a girl. She explains this tritely: “The relationship couldn’t withstand the distance.” According to her, immediately after the end of the show, Sergei left for Belarus. She flew to him. A romantic relationship began. But since Marina had a small son, she was forced to go home.

Further relationships continued through correspondence on social networks. Soon the girl noticed that Sergei had lost interest in her. I might not answer phone calls for several days. This was probably due to problems in the guy’s football activities. The season was over, it was time to decide where to spend the next one.

Sergei Melnik is a football player; for him, his career and game will always come first. And that's a fact. The girl was not very happy with this position. After another meeting with the guy, she offered to remain friends.

Currently Sergei Melnik plays in Vitebsk. The guy’s heart is free, which makes his fans incredibly happy. It's a pity that another show about love didn't end with a happy ending.

Having become the main character of the Ukrainian show “The Bachelor” in the fifth season, football player Sergei Melnik became a much more recognizable person in his native country than he probably was before. It can even be said with confidence that the athlete was better known in Belarus, where he has been successfully playing for Torpedo-BelAZ for more than two years. However, participation in the show radically changed the situation. Now Sergei Melnik is one of the eligible bachelors that girls in the country secretly dream about. After all, even despite the end of the show, the football player continues to retain the title of bachelor, which means he continues to excite the imagination of the fair half of humanity. Every new detail from personal life of Sergei Melnik causes a sensation among fans.

The biography of Sergei Melnik began in the city by the sea of ​​Odessa in early September 27 years ago. He comes from a completely ordinary family, where his father worked as a machinist (now retired), and his mother was an occupational safety engineer. In the family, in addition to the hero of our article, there are two more children - brother Andrei and sister Marina. Therefore, all the heights, albeit not yet sky-high, that Sergei Melnik achieved in his biography, he achieved on his own. Of course, there is a certain merit to the parents who thought of enrolling the guy at the age of 8 in the football section, but further perseverance and many years of work are entirely due to their son. He began his career in the main team of Chernomorets relatively recently - just over five years ago, in 2010. Then he managed to play for “Dniester”, “Odessa” and “Sumy” before receiving an invitation from Belarus.

Despite the successful development of his career, and in many ways even for this reason, Sergei Melnik’s personal life did not work out for a long time. By his own admission, serious relationships and declarations of love practically never happened in his biography. This was the main reason for agreeing to participate in the show “The Bachelor”. By the way, literally a week before this decision, Sergei Melnik refused to accept representatives from a similar Russian show. During the program, the football player took the choice of his girlfriend seriously, so at the end of the project, all viewers were almost sure that the couple Sergei Melnik - Marina Kishchuk, formed on the show, would last for a long time. All the more surprising was the recognition by the winner of the show that the lovers were no longer a couple, which she made at the beginning of December last year. The girl’s fans, of course, are upset, but all the admirers of Sergei Melnik are again inspired by hope, because there is now again a temporary lull in the footballer’s personal life.

Bachelor season 5: Sergey Melnik and Marina Kishchuk / STB

The winner of the romantic reality series "The Bachelor" Marina Kishchuk amazed fans on Instagram with photographs of her figure before and after losing weight. The girl demonstrated an amazing transformation and also revealed the secret of being slim.

Ex-participant of Season 5 Marina Kishchuk radically changed her life after the project.

It seems that the break with Sergei Melnik benefited her. The girl has noticeably lost weight and prettier.

As Marina noted, over the past seven months she has managed to lose 15 kg.

According to Kishchuk, she realized that “eating” was her body’s reaction not so much to hunger as to a lack of energy and endorphin.

“Now I don’t eat flour, fatty, sweet, smoked, too salty, sauces, canned food, etc.,” noted the ex-bachelor.

Look what Marina Kishchuk looks like after losing weight:

Let us remind you that in the fifth season of “The Bachelor” the main character was football player Sergei Melnik. The winner of the project was a girl named Marina. However, their relationship lasted only a few months. Marina said that at first everything went smoothly: Sergei tried to come to her in Kyiv at least once a month, surprised her with surprises, they walked a lot and talked. And when Marina once came to Sergei in Minsk, Belarus, they even lived together and got along great.

According to the girl, the relationship deteriorated after Sergei decided to move to the Vitebsk club. As Marina Kishchuk says, the ex-bachelor told her about this at the very last moment, when he had already signed the contract.

“The media bachelor and talented football player Sergei Melnik won more than one girl’s heart, but still did not open his own to a romantic relationship. Sergei openly spoke about his daily routine, lifestyle, attitude towards civil marriage and sex without obligations in our interview.”

Let's start with the fact that a person far from football has approximately the following idea about a football player: a sporty, well-endowed guy who changes girls like leg warmers, changing geographical location from season to season... Sergey, is it possible to apply this associative series in relation to you?

The further a person is from football, the worse the idea of ​​football players is (laughs). And the associations can be continued indefinitely. In fact, we are all different! Just as in music, politics, and in any area of ​​life, and in sports (in football, in particular), you can meet people who are completely opposite in their worldview and behavior. And their lifestyle will not be similar, although they have the same profession. Perhaps the goals and dreams are the same, but the people are different. Therefore, I would immediately warn against the stereotyped idea of ​​a “football player”, if we are talking about me, and my colleagues as well.

You can't argue with that.

So, football life is an unpredictable thing. It happens that you devote your entire career to one club or change clubs every year, and along with them your place of residence. And what’s best is that all cases have their own charms and everyone is happy in their own way, if they get any pleasure from being associated with football at all.

I ended up with a combination of both situations. Until the age of 20-22, my career was connected with Odessa and my native “Chernomorets” (a Ukrainian football club from the city of Odessa. – author’s note). I couldn’t even imagine that I could live and play in another city or country. I didn't even plan something like that. Yes, leaving Odessa is not easy (laughs). But soon the geography of my career began to expand and today I have already managed to play in many teams from different countries, which, in turn, helps me learn the culture, language, characteristics of national cuisine and the mentality of other peoples, and most importantly, gives me a large number of friends with all over the world. I consider the rest of the “associations” to be a little mercantile and would not like to answer, but to put it briefly, a professional athlete should receive a decent payment for his work. And if you know how to do something better than others, then you should be appreciated and appreciated, especially since the age of sports is short-lived and no one guarantees that tomorrow you will wake up in full health and be able to continue making money in professional sports. Professional sport is a risk. We, football players, at the age of 6-7, took the risk of starting to play football. You need to study this business for 10 years and have a ghostly hope, and most importantly, a Dream (to become a professional from hundreds or thousands of guys like you). Then earn a living in 10-15 years.

How would you comment on the point about girls?

I don’t change girls, I’m alone for now. For me, the issue of relationships is a long conversation that deserves a separate topic.

Tell us about your daily routine.

My day can go completely differently, there is no strict automatic schedule for months in advance. First of all, everything is subject to the team schedule and a lot depends on the training time. But I always have a plan for tomorrow in the evening. Virgo, what can you add (smiles). I'm very pedantic. I carefully monitor my nutrition and try to plan my day so that there are no long breaks between meals, and I also definitely need to squeeze in an extra session in the gym, in addition to the main team training. This is like a bonus for myself, I can’t live without the “Gym”. Sometimes I make going to the gym my third workout of the day. And it won’t always be strength training: exercises, cardio, stretching, all kinds of exercises for agility, coordination, reaction, static endurance. We need to approach everything wisely and understand that professionally I play another sport, therefore, even though my hands are itching, it is not advisable to put more weight on a football player. You have to save your strength. Another mandatory rule for two team training sessions per day is an hour-long nap during the day. Books really help to take your mind off the hustle and bustle and constant movement.

Whether it’s in the morning on the balcony or while I’m on my way to lunch with the team, or even in the evening before bed. I don’t watch TV at all, but although it may not sound modern, books distract me from the Internet and useless communication. I’ll also add language learning to this. I am constantly studying English, and I have also started learning Spanish. I don’t like to sleep for a long time, and I try to finish all my work before 11 pm. My rule is this: if you want to get enough sleep, you have to go to bed on a different day than when you need to wake up. I try to adhere to this rule and advise everyone (smiles).

How much time a day do you devote to sports?

One training session takes 1.5 – 2 hours. This is the load itself. We also need to calculate and add here the time to prepare for training, and since we are gathered an hour or even more in advance for medical control (daily weighing and blood pressure measurement), it will take about 5 hours for one team lesson, plus the hall takes 2- 3 hours. It’s good that he is always nearby (this is a very important criterion for me). And if there are two team lessons, then the day is scheduled minute by minute: from 9.00 to 20.00 you need to be at the club base.

Now the question that worries everyone who has seen your photos without a T-shirt is how long do you need to sweat in the gym in order to get six-packs like Sergei Melnik’s?

So it's as easy as shelling pears! They also found a problem for me (laughs). From the age of 6-7 you start doing acrobatics for about 2 years, then, against the will of your parents and all coaches, you go to football and continue to love the sport. From the age of 20, during the football holidays, you don’t lie on the stove, but go to practice kickboxing and love the gym. All of the above is only 15-20% of success. I believe that abs are 80% proper nutrition and, quite simply, the percentage of body fat. I won’t say that now I spend a lot of time on my abs, they work during all exercises and especially running, so sometimes it’s more useful for the abs to do cardio and not eat crap than to just dumbly, excuse me, “sort of” pump them up.

So are you watching your diet?

In terms of food and nutrition, I have serious discipline. I rarely allow myself to deviate from the rules. Proper nutrition is a preparation for training and better recovery after. Flour products are kept to a minimum, no sugar, salt, sauces, soda, chocolates or any sealed store-bought food (the list could go on for a long time) - I simply don’t have all this at home. There is a complete taboo on alcohol and cigarettes, and it is better not to smoke or drink alcohol in front of me. But, in general, my usual diet is rich and varied, since I really like to cook. I choose the ingredients myself and stand at the stove; the presentation of the dish is also important to me: everything on the plate should look appetizing and tasteful. I rarely prepare for a day or a week; I mostly cook for a specific meal, let it be salads, cereals, meat, fish.

The bearded joke that EVERYONE can play football and write articles is relevant at all times, because literally everyone scolds football players for being “bow-legged” and journalists for being “venal.” Have you ever heard negative feedback about your game from fans?

Fans are an integral and important part of football; they want and should feel their importance, their involvement in everything that happens. We play for them, they support and cheer for us, without this union there will be no big victories. In all cities they are different, there are those who can’t even name the team’s composition, and there are also those who have known many of the players since childhood.

There are sharp, stupid statements, but often criticism is to the point. No matter what you do, if you are visible, people talk about you. And often those who do not understand and do not understand the essence of the profession. Yes, the “couch masters” know better than anyone how to sing, how to lead a country and play football. There is always a choice: continue doing what you love or lock yourself at home and sit on the sofa.

I love to travel, but I can’t say that I manage to do it as often as I would like. If I have the opportunity on vacation or during a break in the championship, I try to go somewhere, preferably to a place I haven’t been to yet. I love architecture, I love photographing interesting places, I pay attention to people, their style, and culture. I often travel alone with a backpack or one bag. Experience shows that the more carefully you plan and the more people you involve in the upcoming train, the less chance of its implementation. Recently I have fallen in love with the Cote d'Azur and learned more about Cannes, Monaco, and Nice. These are definitely places where you would stay for a long time.

Milan was once my dream, although many people dissuaded me from visiting there. But this city remains a dream even after my visit. I also really like Rome, Turin, Amsterdam.

Somewhere, when you return to somewhere, you say: “I’m home”?

As our fans chant: “We are from Odessa and we are proud of it!”

And what will I say to this: “Yes, yes!” I am a resident of Odessa and will say a special word for Odessa! As Utyosov said after a tour of France: “Let that Paris clean the boots of our Odessa” (laughs). With all due respect to other cities and countries, Odessa is not “somewhere” and I feel at home in it.

In Odessa, people probably recognize you at every step?

Not without it! After the TV project, popularity and recognition increased. In the summer, when Odessa is crowded with tourists, people often come up to talk or take photos. In winter, there is less attention, since only Odessa residents remain in the city, and they already have several photographs with Sergei Melnik (laughs). Just kidding, of course.

Is the notorious Odessa humor your “trick”?

I am a big connoisseur of humor, especially intellectual humor. A good joke should be short. Sometimes, in order to make a sharp joke, both the speaker and the listener must be sufficiently educated.

Now let's talk about personal life. It is clear that the answer to the question whether your heart is free worries many, but we would like to know how long the list of requirements is for your potential applicant to go to the registry office?

I will try to answer the longest question briefly. We complicate life too much with all sorts of cliches, templates, like “right” and “wrong”, what others will look at and think - all this is garbage, tear it up and throw it away.

I am sure that there are no specific criteria, and no one will ever find a person who will be close to him under the list of requirements. For people, everything is outrageously simple! There is such a wonderful word “like”. So, you just need to like each other and neither the color of the skin, nor the length of the hair, nor the size of the chest and butt are important, and the rest is a matter of relationships. I am single and, apparently, there is a time for everything.

By the way, do you accept civil marriage?

This can be approached in different ways. Partly this is irresponsibility, but making such a decision is a purely personal matter for the couple. If such a marriage will benefit the relationship, then so be it; no one has the right to interfere in someone else’s personal life and advise how and who should live better.

Is sex without commitment the norm or an inappropriate trend?

It’s not that this is the norm, but it has a place in my life and I’m okay with it.

Again, after studying your Instagram account, under each photo several dozen girls write a comment in the hope of your attention. Admit it, have you answered at least one of them?

I answer messages quite often, but, of course, I pay more attention to messages from friends and acquaintances. Whenever possible, I try to respond to meaningful comments rather than just emojis.

Are there girls in your circle of close friends?

Certainly! I clearly distinguish between the concepts of “colleague”, “comrade” and “friend”. I am very kind to my friends and value friendly relationships. I’m proud of my loved ones, but what’s nicer is that many people can call me their Friend. Among my friends, there are, of course, girls whom I have known for a very long time, and even know their parents. My friends can always call, ask for help, invite me to a family dinner, offer to be a witness at their wedding or become godfather for their children. By the way, the last offer is coming more and more often (smiles).

Nowadays, it is not so easy to find sincere friendship: not selfish, without subtext, envy and anger. Even though I am credited with having a relationship with everyone seen in the photo, the most important thing for me is the attitude of those close to me, and not the words of those who have not seen me in real life or communicated in person.
