Evelin Ilves is an Estonian entrepreneur, public figure and politician all rolled into one. Her life path cannot but arouse interest and respect, since her success is striking in its scale and colors. Therefore, let's digress from everything outside and find out what is the secret of this incredible woman.
Evelyn Ilves: biography
Evelyn Int-Lambot (maiden name) was born in Tallinn on April 20, 1968. However, due to the work of her parents, she soon moved to Saku. There, the girl entered the local gymnasium, which she graduated in 1986.
Evelyn Ilves received higher education at the Tartu Medical University. She defended her bachelor's degree in 1993, after which she entered the magistracy. What is true, she could not finish it because of a number of family reasons.
From 1996 to 2001, she worked as the marketing director for the print media at Eesti Päevaleh. In 2002, she developed the logo for the Brand Estonia project, which made her quite famous in certain circles.
In 2004, Evelyn led the campaign of Toomas Hendrik Ilves in the European Parliament. Thanks to the excellent strategy, her future husband won the election with a phenomenal result of 76 thousand votes.
Personal life Evelyn
Evelin Ilves, the future first lady of Estonia, met her husband back in the years when Toomas was Minister of Foreign Affairs. The couple met at one of the secular evenings that took place under the patronage of the newspaper Eesti Paevaleht.
At first, they had to keep the relationship secret, since Ilves was married. However, in 2003, Evelyn gave birth to a daughter from him, after which they decide to legalize their union. It should be noted that at that time the minister already had two children from his first marriage: the boy Luukas and the girl Julia. As for their common child, the girl was named Kandry-Keiu.
For a long time their marriage was considered successful and caused only universal tenderness. However, in August 2014, pictures appeared in the press in which Evelyn Ilves kisses an unknown man. This event caused a flurry of negative reaction towards the woman, because of which she was forced to leave the country for a short while.
In 2015, the Ilves family divorced. For the sake of justice, it is worth noting that her husband did not greatly grieve about the loss. In November 2015, he married Ieva Kupets, who became his third official wife.
Amazing Evelina Metamorphosis
In early 2006, the First Lady of Estonia repeatedly received a scolding from the press for not being able to choose the right outfits. Her large body complexions, together with a complete lack of taste, became frequent occasions for the stinging jokes of others.
Such criticism made Evelyn Ilves think about his situation and take decisive measures. So, she went in for sports, which allowed her to lose extra pounds, and also used the services of professional stylists.
And since 2007, the opinion of others around her has changed dramatically. A completely different woman appeared before them: slim, beautiful and strong in spirit. From now on, her outfits often became the subject of envy, rather than an occasion for ridicule.
Although sometimes Evelyn still managed to plunge into another ridiculous story. For example, in 2011, she wanted to surprise the Queen of Sweden with her unique outfit. But instead, she only made the audience laugh when she stepped out in an absurdly tailored suit.
Social work
Evelyn is an active fighter for a healthy lifestyle, which he regularly recalls in his interviews. She opposes all kinds of bad habits that destroy a person both from the outside and from the inside.
It should be noted that she not only speaks about health, but also shows by her own example how to act. So, the former first lady is engaged in many active sports, goes to dances and swims in the pool. She is also the president of the Roller Federation in Estonia, and besides, she is not averse to rushing on skates once again.
