", Season 5, a heated discussion began on social networks about whether the main character of the project, Ilya Glinnikov, made the right choice. Many criticize the winner of the show Ekaterina Nikulina, and some doubt that the couple remained together after the cameras were turned off. The TNT channel has officially confirmed that now Ilya and Katya continue to build a relationship. Glinnikov and Nikulina, having found love in the fifth season of the show “The Bachelor” in front of millions of viewers, are together and happy.
Ekaterina Nikulina now, after the show, admits that for her everything became clear after the first date with Ilya: “I always pay attention to inexplicable symbols, circumstances that make it clear that someone brought this person to me, we met for a reason...” However, the girl believes that the reality show - the strangest place to meet a young man. By the way, at the casting Katya said that she decided to take part in the show , because she wants to find a husband and “quickly start a family in order to become a young mother.”
In turn, Ilya Glinnikov still does not hide his surprise, since, in his words, he saw next to him a person whom he did not expect to see at all: “I have a feeling that I dreamed her up, met a woman who is ready to give and not consume. My mind refused to believe it - this simply cannot happen! Well, maybe! I hope we can get to the last station. If this happens, then I will be the happiest person in the world!”
It's no secret that filming of the fifth season of the show “The Bachelor” was completed long ago. Moreover, Ilya Glinnikov even got into the lenses of paparazzi cameras along with his chosen one. The couple blessed Easter cakes in the church on Easter. It was there that photojournalists waylaid them. True, the shots that we managed to take were very blurry, but Ilya’s companion could be seen as Ekaterina Nikulina. The actor then came up with a rather strange excuse: they say, he blessed the Easter cakes together with Ivan Okhlobystin’s daughter Varvara. She was quite surprised by this information.
As a result, Ilya Glinnikov actually chose Ekaterina Nikulina in the fifth season of the show “The Bachelor”. Yesterday, everything secret finally became clear, and the couple no longer needs to hide their relationship. Madina Tamova, to whom Ilya Glinnikov preferred Ekaterina Nikulina in the final, could not hide her resentment towards the actor. By the way, Lesya Ryabtseva, who left the project one step away from the finale, does not hold any grudge against the Bachelor. Moreover, in an interview with Vokrug TV, she admitted that she managed to maintain friendly relations with Ilya Glinnikov. The actor and journalist continue to communicate after the project.

Ekaterina Nikulina became the bride of Ilya Glinnikov on the show “Bachelor-5”. The main character could not decide on the winner for a long time and admitted that Katya’s choice was “a step into the unknown” for him. On the eve of the final, in one of the episodes, Ilya and Katerina retired to the bedroom.

Ilya Glinnikov’s heart was won by Katya Nikulina from Moscow. Yesterday the grand finale took place on the Bachelor season 5 project. Its apogee was a declaration of love from the lips of the main character, as well as a gift to the chosen one - a ring with a “girls’ best friend” - a diamond. The final episode took place in a very romantic atmosphere of the Middle Ages on top of a fortress. The finalists sparkled like precious stones, and the bachelor himself demonstrated with all his appearance how difficult it was for him to decide with whom he wanted to connect his life.
In a recent interview, Ilya Glinnikov explained why he chose Ekaterina Nikulina and not Madina Tamova in the final of the “Bachelor” show. It is known that the actor’s family, and many viewers, were sure that Glinnikov would choose Madina, since she is a gentle person who dreams of a strong family.
“Katya is fire, and everything melts with me,” Ilya said in the latest episode of the television project.
But it wasn’t easy for Ekaterina on the show; she couldn’t find a common language with the other girls.
Until the very end, the audience was sure that Madina Tamova would win. The 25-year-old oriental beauty immediately charmed the entire family of Ilya Glinnikov, and the actor’s grandmother even joked, saying that there was no point in showing other girls, they say, the family had already made a choice. But the bachelor’s heart chose Ekaterina Nikulina, a young talented blonde with blue eyes. It was she who was able to charm the star of the series “Interns” and make her believe in love again.
As Glinnikov admitted to Ekaterina, if on the project he had to choose not from 25, but from a thousand girls, he would still choose her. The bachelor also called his choice a leap into the unknown, but this is what attracts him. According to Ilya, he is drawn to Katya, she is a real witch with whom he will burn, with whom he is interested.
“In every action of my chosen one, her values, character, nobility and dignity speak. She filled my heart completely, and I can no longer imagine life without her. Our feeling has just begun, but if we manage to get to the last station together, I will be the happiest person in the world!” - says Ilya Glinnikov about Katya Nikulina.

On the eve of the finale, Ekaterina gave an interview, talking about the beginning of filming in “The Bachelor” and her relationship with Ilya. Katya admitted: as soon as she came to the project, she was haunted by thoughts of leaving the show after the first episode. However, everything changed when she first saw the main character - Ilya Glinnikov.
Before “The Bachelor,” Nikulina was only superficially familiar with his work. But when she managed to communicate with him live, face to face, she realized that he was a very sensitive, emotional, deep person.
The audience highly appreciated Madina's beautiful act. She prepared a surprise for her lover - a paragliding flight. The second participant, as many admit, acted dishonestly and lured Ilya Glinnikov into the bedroom.
Madina Tamova stated that this was very primitive on Nikulina’s part. “Things like this are very devalued when they are brought out into the public eye,” the “Bachelor” finalist added. Ekaterina Nikulina herself did not see anything prejudiced in her actions. The girl said that she has absolutely no regrets about what happened between the couple.
As a result, after Ilya announced his decision, Madina did not hide her disappointment. And Glinnikov justified himself to her with her own words, reminding him that he made the choice with his heart, as Tamova advised.
According to the rules of the project, Ilya presented the winner with a luxurious diamond ring, which symbolizes their strong union.
Ilya Glinnikov and Ekaterina Nikulina together, what are the details?
What do we know about the winner? Katya is 22 years old. She is crazy about horse riding and equestrian sports, loves to go to restaurants and enjoy delicious dishes. Prefers haute French cuisine.
The girl tries her hand at modeling and also works as an art director of one of the Moscow cafes. Who her parents are, who her father is, is unknown. However, Katya’s mother appeared in the Bachelor season 5 during one of the family dinners.
Like most modern girls, Katya Nikulina loves social networks. In particular, Instagram. You can find hundreds of photographs on her page. It is noteworthy that the girl appears in the photographs in completely different images, so everyone can form their own opinion about her beauty. In some photos Katya is completely without makeup, which makes her especially touching and delightful.
Later, the actor explained how Catherine was able to amaze him. “This is a woman from another planet. Thanks to her parents,” the man shared his feelings. In his opinion, Nikulina is an honest person with whom you can build a trusting relationship. The actor also liked that Catherine never judged other girls and did not participate in intrigues. “Katya is a girl of old traditions; I haven’t seen anyone like her for a long time,” the actor admitted.
“I stand, listen to Ilya and understand that, most likely, he did not choose me. I raised my head to hold back my tears. Although I had already cried so much during the project, at that moment I tried to hold on. And then he says that he would like to say something else. I asked: is it necessary? Ilya replied that he didn’t have to talk if he didn’t want to. Okay, she said, I’m listening to you. And Ilya begins to quote pages from the same notebook that he kept throughout the entire filming. He says: if I had to choose from 50 million, I would still choose me, but it would take more time. And then he took out a box with a ring.”
Let us remember that three months ago actor Ilya Glinnikov met 25 girls who passed the casting and got into the show. In the first issue, the Interns star chose 15 beauties who went with him to Sri Lanka. By the finale, as in previous seasons, the Bachelor had to leave only two participants on the project.
There were many rumors about the personal life of Ilya Glinnikov before the “Bachelor” project. The most memorable was the affair with Aglaya Tarasova. The couple often quarreled due to the actor's jealous nature. He often posted photographs of himself with the caption that he was ready to forgive betrayals and restore trust. He said that he has a personal life, but the details remained hidden for the media.
When the couple broke up, Ilya decided to try his hand at the “Bachelor” project. Among the 25 participants, I chose a former art director, a blonde from Moscow. According to the terms of the contract, they could not advertise their relationship until the audience saw the finale of the program.
Ilya Glinnikov and the winner of the show “The Bachelor” Ekaterina Nikulina lived together for almost a year. Fans expected the couple to announce their wedding, but their relationship suddenly ended. The artist could not find his soul mate for a long time. On set, he had to make difficult choices.
Ilya and Ekaterina after the project
Glinnikov said that he did not even expect that everything would be so good in everyday life with Catherine. They spent time together, reading books and watching films. The girl took care of her lover when he found himself on crutches. A few months later, the media began to talk about the upcoming wedding. The actor himself said that he plans to celebrate the wedding in Georgia without a magnificent celebration, only in the circle of family and friends.
When a wedding ring appeared on Ilya Glinnikov’s finger, fans assumed that the couple had secretly gotten married. This event remained without comment from the stars, but soon they went on a pre-wedding trip to the Mariana Islands. On vacation, Ilya presented a ring to his beloved. There is only one photograph from the trip in the public domain. Ilya and Katya preferred to behave with restraint, apparently fearing ordinary human envy.
After some time, the winner of the show said that a joint decision was made to separate. According to Katya, this was due to the fact that lives took different paths. Some sources mention that the question of separation arose after the girl once again appeared at home in the morning, not quite sober.
In mid-September 2017, information spread in the media about Ilya’s fight with his chosen one. As a result of this, the 32-year-old actor was hospitalized. But the couple denied this information, and Glinnikov himself was in Georgia at that time.
All reports note that the young people decided to remain friends. Now Nikulina is engaged in music and plans to release her first solo album. Ilya noted that he had never had a relationship that arose in unnatural conditions. But they were able to hold out for a long time despite increased attention from all sides.

At the moment, Ilya’s family is his parents and younger brother. The actor is again in search of his second half. Actively engaged in his career. So, in 2017 he starred in the series “Force Majeure”, and will play the main role in the series “Slave”. In it, he is presented as a representative of the “golden youth”, whom his father sends to the village for re-education.
A little earlier, in an interview, the star noted: “I got married... Into a profession!” In his opinion, you need to get married when you have a foundation. There is still a lot of work to be done for this. However, the actor has many fans. He is described as an "extraordinary actor", "talented, bright and gentle". Despite the desire to hide his personal life, most of the information is presented on his personal Instagram page. On it, the actor shares interesting moments from his personal life and work, and tries to answer questions from fans.
In the spring of 2017, TNT launched the fifth season of the show “The Bachelor,” the main character of which was actor Ilya Glinnikov (33), star of the series “Interns.” Of the 25 girls, the beauty Ekaterina Nikulina (22). The whole country watched their romance - news appeared in the media either about the imminent one or about a loud one that ended in separation. To finally dispel all the rumors, PEOPLETALK talked with Ekaterina and found out how the relationship with Ilya Glinnikov actually developed after the project.
I worked as an art director, built a career, and everything in my life went as usual. I ended up on the show “The Bachelor” completely by accident after much persuasion from my best friend. We practically argued with him, he showed me several episodes, and in the end I went to the casting, especially since the offer from the producers came for the second time, and we girls try to find signs in everything.

When I saw Ilya from the window of the limousine, I did not know his name, however, his face was familiar to me. I immediately drew attention to his eyes - there was some special meaning in them. I immediately wanted to know what was hidden behind all this. After our first conversation with Ilya, I realized that I was not mistaken, and my interest in him only began to intensify. I had the feeling that a person already close to me was sitting in front of me. I really appreciate sincere people, and Ilya won me over with this very quality.
After the finale of the show, our parents, however, were skeptical at first about our relationship, but, putting myself in their place, I understand everything perfectly - if my daughter went to a “reality show about love” and returned from there with a young man, I would too I would doubt it. But for my parents, the most important thing was that I was happy. At that moment it was so.

Ilya and I had many romantic moments. One day he gave us a stunning and unforgettable vacation on the island of Mauritius. There we could live without the scrutiny of society and enjoy each other. We traveled a lot, flew in a helicopter, went diving, swam with dolphins. In addition, my birthday will remain in my memory for a long time, when Ilya decided to surprise me: we went on a six-hour motorcycle race to Yaroslavl on a loudly growling Harley! It was unforgettable, especially since the return journey that same evening became a real weather test for us, which we went through together. And on March 8, he arrived by car, opened the trunk, and there was just a sea of flowers (fortunately, not red roses, I don’t like them!).
Neither he nor I had ever had such a relationship - it arose in the most unnatural conditions, but we managed to survive, despite increased attention from all sides. For example, when information about our quarrel or even a fight appeared in the summer, my family and friends and I could only laugh.
Not long ago, we decided to remain friends, despite the fact that we had been together since the finale of the fifth season of the show “The Bachelor.” We didn't get along, and our lives took different paths, although we have a great relationship. We decided to announce this publicly so that we would no longer be perceived solely as a couple and everyone would have their own lives.
Now I am again continuing to do what I was doing long before the show - my musical career. Within six months I’m planning the release of an album that everyone hasn’t gotten around to (this often happens - when love appears, everything around dissolves), and shooting videos. The music is experimental, it will be a mixtape from different directions. I will definitely announce the release of my tracks on my pages on social networks. Plus, my friends and I opened Roots Bar & Bistro, so there's a lot going on. I don’t need a personal life in the near future, I want to devote time to myself, develop my talents, remember my hobbies and goals.
It turns out that the bachelor had already made his choice long ago, and barely waited for the end of the broadcast of the program on television, he began to live with his chosen one.
After the end of the “Bachelor” project, Ilya Glinnikov and Ekaterina Nikulina were able to stop hiding their relationship. According to the rules of the reality show, they were not supposed to advertise the affair while the program was broadcast on television. As the lovers admit, it was very difficult for them to hide their relationship.
Ilya and his beloved Katya Nikulina moved in together as soon as the project ended. As Glinnikov admits, he immediately felt that the girl was perfect for him. Now the star of the series “Interns” has breakfast every morning with food kindly prepared by his chosen one.
According to the actor, he immediately realized that he did not want to part with his chosen one for a day. Glinnikov arrived at Katya’s parental home, collected all her things and moved them to his apartment. “I packed her things in a suitcase and told my mother that I would throw it away later, because my daughter would no longer come to you! And so it happened,” said Glinnikov.
Catherine admitted more than once that she immediately saw her future husband in the actor’s face. According to the girl, they have the same outlook on life, in particular, they imagine a future together. Nikulina believes that a woman should always be behind a man’s back and obey him in everything. For the sake of her chosen one, the girl even learned to cook, since she wanted to feed him.
« As for living together, I didn’t even expect that we would suit each other so well in everyday life. We do everything together: watch movies, read books, talk for 10 hours, or argue in what year the novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” was written. I was surprised at how Katya took care of me when I was on crutches. She cooks divinely. In the mornings I eat the most delicious porridge, and for dinner - just restaurant food", noted the actor.
After Ekaterina Nikulina moved, the lovers went to the relatives of Ilya Glinnikov in Georgia. There the actor introduced his beloved to his grandmother. At first, the Georgian grandmother was wary of Catherine, but after a few minutes of conversation, any misunderstanding was eliminated. Ilya plans to propose to Ekaterina again, and also wants to get married to a girl in his homeland, Georgia.
« I will listen to Ilya, he is still my man. We recently talked with him about the fact that the main thing in life is love, family, children. It’s incredibly interesting to invest in a newborn person everything that you consider necessary. And watch how the little seed grows. For a woman, it is first of all important to succeed in this“- says Nikulina.
Glinnikov also supports Katya in everything. The finalist of “The Bachelor” has not yet decided what she wants to do with her life. The actor invited his fiancee to open her own business. " Ekaterina has organizational skills. I saw how Katya communicates on the set, as in life. She has experience in the restaurant business. I suggest she open her own restaurant. Katya sings beautifully, she was accepted into the Moscow Art Theater School, but she did not come to the third round. I gave up modeling because I didn’t want to mix myself with this plastic world."- said Ilya Glinnikov.
