"I can give a person 10 years of a happy life." 62-year-old Grigory Leps said he wants children with his 18-year-old girlfriend Aurora Kiba

Grigory Leps spoke about the problems he had to face because of his young lover Aurora Kiba. Neither friends nor the first family of the 62-year-old artist can come to terms with the fact that he is dating an 18-year-old.

"I didn't ask [the children's opinions], but they probably feel uncomfortable, of course. They feel offended for both their mom and dad. The parents and the people around them are all in shock. Friends are clutching their heads," he said on the "From the Heart" show on Roman Kostomarov's Rutube channel.

Leps' new romance became known when he went out with Aurora this summer. This happened two and a half years after his divorce from Anna Shaplykova, with whom Leps had been married for 20 years and raised three children.

The singer agrees that the claims against him are not groundless. He openly blames himself for the collapse of his previous marriage: "I had a wonderful family, and they remain my family. I am not abandoning them. They are richer than me, primarily spiritually. I am to blame for the breakup, my outrageous behavior and the wrong choice." Apparently, Leps was referring to his numerous betrayals of his wife, which he repeatedly repented of. He had previously said that he would bear this cross all his life.

Now the singer is inspired by his feelings for the young Aurora: "A wonderful person, superbly educated, smart beyond his years. There is something to think about - I will have to work a lot, there will definitely be children. I want a family."

Leps said that he "piously believes" in his relationship with Aurora and is ready to go to the registry office with her even tomorrow (although at the beginning of the month he doubted his choice because of the big age difference). Now he soberly assesses his prospects and is not afraid of becoming a victim of a gold digger: "I can give a person 10 years of a happy life. And then what? He will find himself another. No one is running after my money, especially since there is a wealthy family there, everything is fine with them in this regard."

The artist is already dreaming of a new meeting with his beloved, who is currently studying in London: he is planning to take the girl away for the New Year holidays.

However, Aurora herself rarely mentions her lover on her social networks. Her Instagram page* is filled with shots of her glamorous life in London.

Earlier, Leps told the press that he was not sure about his relationship with Aurora. She herself also spoke about the significant age difference with her chosen one. At the same time, many do not believe in the reality of this romance: people suspect that all this is just PR in an attempt to promote the girl in show business, especially since she recently decided to become a singer.
