Putin Acknowledges Secret Children with Kabaeva

During a televised Q&A session, Russian President Vladimir Putin seemingly confirmed rumors about having two secret sons with Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva by mentioning he enjoys watching films with 'my little ones.' This statement aligns with long-standing speculation regarding his personal life, as the Kremlin officially denies that he has any children outside of his two adult daughters, Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova. The alleged sons, Ivan, 9, and Vladimir, 5, reportedly live secluded lives, traveling on private jets and educated by tutors. Furthermore, a third child, Ekaterina Krivonogikh, also known as Luiza Rozova, is believed to be the daughter of a former cleaner. Putin's comments have prompted renewed interest in his private life, which he typically keeps under wraps, although independent journalists have tracked these claims for years. The Kremlin continues to maintain that Putin's only children are his daughters, despite the mounting evidence and speculation.
