Vladimir Putin let slip a hint about his secret young family during his marathon televised question and answer session. He has never confirmed the young family he has with Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, who is three decades his junior. But in an unguarded moment answering a question from a woman in Arctic Russia, 41, he referred to watching fairy tale films with “my little ones”.
State propaganda channel RT translated his words as “my junior family members”. Putin, 72, spoke of the need for patriotic films including those showing traditional fairy tales, and bemoaned film producers going abroad, presumably in opposition to his war.
“But this drives our own production, including film production, that’s true, and considering such a unifying uplift of society, the kind of uplift that brings people together, is, of course, very important. “Our historic fairy tales and epic tales are being revived. I myself sometimes watch these with pleasure with my little ones.” A flicker of a smile appeared on his face as he mentioned them. Putin is also known to have grandchildren from his two eldest daughters - Maria Vorontsova, 39, and Katerina Tikhonova, 38, a high-kicking ‘rock’n’roll’ dancer.
While Putin and the Kremlin have always denied a relationship between him and glamorous Kabaeva, independent Russian journalists have established they have two sons together. They are named Ivan, nine, and Vladimir junior, five, and they share his multiple lavish homes in different regions of Russia. The children have never been seen and live out of sight behind his palace walls.
