Putin and Kabaeva have a second child?

Alina Kabaeva, a former gymnast and now a deputy of the State Duma of Russia, has not commented on the rumors circulating on the Internet about her love affair with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for several years, but search queries indicate that this topic, as well as the illegitimate offspring of the politician and his ladies hearts arouse the liveliest interest

For several years now, rumors have not subsided about the secret connection of VVP with the charming Alina, who even gave her high-ranking lover an heir, who was allegedly named Dmitry. Recently, in the Russian blogosphere, they also started talking about the second child of a secret couple. Both sides denied the romance rumors. Putin in 2008, at a press conference in Italy, answering a question about Alina Kabaeva, said: “There is a private life in which no one is allowed to interfere. I have always had a negative attitude towards those who, with some kind of flu-like nose and with their erotic fantasies, climb into someone else's life. And Kabaeva wrote on her official website after reports of the birth of a child appeared: “It’s not in my rules to comment on rumors, but I decided to make an exception. Because I cannot leave many warm words and wishes unanswered... On this page, I promised to tell about the most important events in my life, about my family. Therefore, when I become a mother (which has not happened yet), I will definitely write about it. In any case, thanks to everyone who congratulated and worried about me. Just for your sake, I deviated from my principle: never pay attention to gossip.

Alina Kabaeva and Vladimir Putin


Putin's official wife, Lyudmila, did not appear in public with her husband for a long time and did not accompany him during foreign visits, indirectly confirming rumors of a divorce. In October of this year, Vladimir Vladimirovich and Lyudmila demonstrated that they are still husband and wife, and took part in the All-Russian population census. Many noticed that, unlike the prime minister, his wife did not have a wedding ring on her hand.

However, the passions around the couple do not subside. If you enter the query “Kabaeva” into the Google search engine, then the most popular options requested by users of the World Wide Web appear in the following lines: “Kabaeva and Putin”, “Kabaeva gave birth to a boy for Putin”, “Kabaeva and Putin are lovers”, etc. The other day, the disgraced Russian businessman Boris Berezovsky voiced out loud something that in Russia is only spoken in whispers and on separate Internet forums. “Why is Putin so furious when asked about his mistress Kabaeva and his illegitimate children? - the oligarch is indignant in an interview with the Ukrainian newspaper Glavred. - This is a voluntary choice of politicians - to become transparent for us. If they want to control us, help us live according to the law, then they must understand that we do not believe them from the very beginning and want to know everything about them. We want to know everything about them every day, every hour, every minute: how they live, what they live on, where they get their money from, what happens in their family, and so on.”

The first sensational news that Putin and Kabaeva are a couple was published by the Moscow Correspondent newspaper. An article published in April 2008 stated that Putin had divorced his wife Lyudmila - the mother of his two daughters - and married Alina Kabaeva. In record time after the publication of the publication, the newspaper was closed. The authoritative American edition of The New York Post in 2009 claimed that Alina Kabaeva gave birth to a son whose father is Putin. According to the sources of the publication, Kabaeva gave birth to a son in Moscow and he was given the name Dmitry. The newspaper wrote that Kabaeva was considered Putin's girlfriend since 2006. At that time, Alina ended her sports career after she managed to win two Olympic medals and 18 awards at various world championships, while becoming the most titled gymnast in history. Three years ago, Kabaeva was elected to the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the United Russia party.

The Western press regularly raises the topic of Putin-Kabaev, and this week the British newspaper The Daily Mail expressed surprise that a heavily processed photo of the former gymnast, who is far from in the best physical shape (according to bloggers, Alina’s huge weight gain is associated with the second childbirth), placed on the cover of the January issue of the Russian Vogue magazine with the headline "The main victory" between the legs. The paper suspects that editor-in-chief Victoria Davydova's decision to place Kabaeva on the magazine's cover will irritate the Russian prime minister. In the headline, Kabaeva is called Putin's "mistress".
