April 28, 1985, in Leningrad) and Katerina Tikhonova (née Yekaterina Vladimirovna Putina) (b. August 31, 1986, in Dresden, East Germany). However, after being married for around 30 years, their marriage collapsed and the news of their divorce was confirmed on April 1, 2014. He has 2 grandsons through Maria.
2. Alina Kabaeva – In April 2008, a Russian newspaper called the Moskovsky Korrespondent reported that he was engaged with Russian politician, media executive, and former rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva. The story was denied and the newspaper was shut down. However, in the subsequent years, the status of this relationship became a topic of intense speculation all over the world. Alina was among the 6 Russian torchbearers who had been selected to carry the Olympic flame during the opening ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Her selection had generated controversy in the international media because of her alleged relationship with Putin. In March 2015, she was reported to have given birth to a daughter in Ticino, Switzerland. In 2019, she reportedly gave birth to twin sons in Moscow. The Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung reported in 2022 that a Swiss gynecologist of Russian origin had assisted both births. The report alleged that the first birth in 2015 was of a boy and the second in 2019 was of another boy and that both were Putin’s sons. After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the United States Department of the Treasury had proposed sanctions against her. However, the United States government had withheld those sanctions, in view of her alleged relationship with Putin, to avoid further escalation of tensions between Russia and the United States.
