　　两人相识时伊万正在圣彼得堡自由教育学院教艺术，当时伊万已经是六个孩子的父亲。而娜塔莉，作为他的学生，开始给他写一些诗歌，据伊万回忆，这让他印象深刻。

　　The actor, who has been married three times before toy younger wives, said: ’As a result of her words, I started to feel like a man in a way that I thought had long since vanished. But it was like being rebooted, and something which was missing returned.’

　　伊万之前已经有三任妻子，对于现在的娇妻，他说道：“在于她的相处过程中，我开始感觉到自己是一个男人，而这种感觉我已经很久都没有感受到了。那种感觉就像重新启动了一样，就像消失的东西又重新回来了一样。”

　　The actor proposed by getting down on one knee on the St Petersburg metro and presenting Ms Shevel with a diamond ring.

　　他们的求婚是在圣彼得堡地铁里，伊万单膝跪地，手捧钻戒。

　　The very next day the couple then went to register an application to become married.

　　Mr Krasko added one of the first things his sons asked him was who was going to get the family’s country estate, but he had assured them that nothing in his will would be changed.

　　伊万又说到他的儿子们问起的第一件事是谁将得到他的财产，他和他们保证到将来他的遗嘱不会有任何变化。

　　When a journalist implied the marriage was simply a publicity stunt by the young woman to shortcut the usual career ladder by linking herself with a famous fiance, Mr Krasko rejected the idea.

　　一位记者暗指这场婚姻只是年轻的娜塔莉想通过嫁个名人而出名的手段而已，但伊万否定了这种猜测。

　　He said that it was a fact that she was currently unemployed but added he would not be attempting to boost her career saying: ’An actor is always best off when they work on their name and by creating their brand on their own.’

　　他解释道娜塔莉确实现在没有工作，但是自己并不准备帮助她的事业，他说：“只有以自己的名义努力工作，并且打造出自己的品牌，才能成功。”

　　The couple said they wanted a quiet wedding with and had only invited close relatives and friends.

　　这对新人说到他们的婚礼希望低调，只邀请了一些好友。
