He did this out of necessity: having received a university diploma, he needed to go to his native land.

But Cornelia did not lose touch with her father, communicating through correspondence. The man waited a long time for the mother of the future star to decide to move to the distant European country.

Personal life

Due to constant dieting, the girl’s vision gradually decreased. But she is not depressed about her deteriorating health: she says that glasses suit her, and her new figure allows her to achieve greater recognition.

For a long time, Cornelia was unlucky in choosing a life partner, but in 2015 she met her young man. Beatboxer Bogdan Dyurdy is 8 years younger than the girl, but this did not become an obstacle to their love. Having met on the “I Can” project, they were never separated again. A year later, Bogdan proposed to her in Crimea, while on vacation. Cornelia also wanted a wedding, so a year later the newlyweds entered into a legal marriage.

Cornelia is no stranger to domestic show business - having arrived in Moscow from her native Astrakhan immediately after graduating from art school, she began her career by working in one of the capital's nightclubs. At first she was invited as a dancer, but during the casting, Mango also demonstrated her vocal abilities, thanks to which she later ended up on the popular TV show “Star Factory.”

Cornelia's personal life was not as fast-paced as her creative biography. At twenty-three, she met a man with whom she began the first relationship in her life. serious relationship. They lived together for five years, but Cornelia Mango's common-law husband, MTV VJ Ivan Traore, never formally proposed to her. For his sake, Cornelia was even ready to give up show business and devote her life to her family, but her man, apparently, was in a completely different mood.

When Mango started talking about family, about children, Ivan immediately made it clear to her that he was satisfied with his life and he was not going to change anything in it for now. And then Cornelia, who wanted a serious relationship and was already ready for motherhood, decided to break up with her companion, especially since Mourning began to raise his hand against her. After another loud scandal, Cornelia packed her things and left her common-law husband.

She had a hard time with this breakup, and, at the same time, justified Ivan by saying that he grew up in an orphanage and therefore it was difficult for him to decide to start a family. Cornelia Mango's common-law husband kept sending her text messages with threats and promises to deal with her and her friends for a long time. The singer was even forced to rent an apartment in another area so as not to encounter Ivan anymore.

Fortunately, Mango has long since turned this page of her biography, and now her personal life is much more successful. In 2016, the singer got married and finally created real family, which I have dreamed of for so long.

She met her future husband, beatboxer Bogdan Durdem, on the show “I Can!”, It was he who was appointed as the singer’s mentor and was supposed to teach her beatboxing. It was not love at first sight - Cornelia at first treated Bogdan, who is eight years younger than her, simply as a friend, but after a while the young people felt undisguised sympathy for each other. When the project ended and there was no need to meet again, Cornelia and Bogdan realized that they did not want to part. They started looking for meetings with each other to continue communication.

When a romance arose between them, the parents of the lovers were against their communication due to the large age difference, but, watching how the relationship between Cornelia and Bogdan developed, who tried not to be separated from each other even for a minute, they came to terms. Friends of Cornelia Mango's future husband also said that it was too early for him to start a family, because at the time they announced their engagement, Durdy was only twenty years old, but no arguments could change the lovers' decisions.

And after Bogdan brought Cornelia to Crimea, where he was from, to meet his parents, everyone believed in the seriousness of his intentions. Bogdan’s mother, who had previously been against her son’s marriage, having met his chosen one, changed her mind and became friends with Cornelia.

Five months after the wedding, the newlyweds went on their honeymoon to the Maldives, where they spent an unforgettable time. Now in the personal life of Cornelia and her young husband, everything is going as well as possible - they moved into their own apartment, which they equipped so that it would be comfortable not only for them, but also for their future children.

It can be argued that the singer Cornelia Donato Mango owes her bright personality and artistic talents to the mixing of the blood of several nations. The singer’s mother, Dilyara Narimanovna Bekbulatova, comes from a family famous for its psychic abilities, and her grandmother is an ardent fan of music and, at the age of 80, continues to listen to her favorite “Abba” and “Boni M”. Dilyara, worked as a nurse, loved and knew how to dress brightly (later she even became the heroine of one of the issues " Fashionable sentence"), and in her free time she often looked into the dormitory of students of the Astrakhan Fisheries Institute. Foreign students studied there, who always had the latest musical innovations of that time. With one of them, Donato Mango, the son of immigrants from Guinea-Bissau, who moved to residence in Lisbon, they developed great and mutual feelings. The young people went to the registry office, but they flatly refused to take an application from a student from capitalist Portugal. On April 24, 1986, a loud-voiced dark-skinned girl was born, an exact copy of her father, who was named Cornelia Donata. Donato Mango tried to stay with his family, but all his efforts were in vain. Cornelia was not even a year old when, immediately after receiving his diploma, he was sent by plane to his homeland. For many years he hoped that Dilyara and her daughter would move to Lisbon with him, but bureaucratic and financial problems prevented this.In the end, Donato married a girl Nyame, very similar to Dilyara, at the moment he has two adult children; after Cornelia turned 15, she began to visit him in Portugal every year. Dilyara also got married, the girl had a half-brother Nariman, now a screenwriter and director.

The Astrakhan childhood of a plump girl with an exotic appearance could hardly be called easy. She was constantly teased and insulted by her peers, but her mother reassured her - don’t worry, they are just jealous that you are so bright and talented. Cornelia showed an early talent for drawing and attended art school. One day, standing at an easel, the girl mechanically sang “Ave Maria,” and someone asked to turn the radio down.

Among the songs she performed are “Two Halves”, “Our Dance” (in a duet with Mark Fishman) and other compositions. True, Cornelia never made it to the finals, although her unusual manner of performance, artistry and plasticity won the hearts of television viewers.

Under the contract, the girl went on constant concert tours for a year, giving more than 500 concerts.

In the same year, the singer released a single and video with the song “Fly”, and in 2011, together with Ivan Traore, she prepared an album based on vocals and beatboxing. She was a participant in television projects " Last Hero" (2009), "Cruel Games"(2010), "Hipsters Show" (2010), "Dancing with the Stars" (2011).

The singer may come to the next celebrity party in a cast, applied due to an injury, but she will definitely decorate it with rhinestones. She does not hide the fact that problems with weight and weight loss may prevent her from becoming a mother, and regularly undergoes medical examinations, which each time give her fans food for speculation about the singer’s pregnancy.
