Russian President Vladimir Putin is presumed to be single but is a responsible father to three daughters; two with his ex-wife and one from his relationships.
Vladimir Putin is a former Russian intelligence officer and a politician who has served as president of Russia from 1999 to 2008 and from 2012 to the present. He was also the country’s prime minister in 1999 and from 2008 to 2012.
During Putin’s first two terms as president, he signed into law a series of liberal economic reforms, such as the flat income tax of 13 percent, reduced profits tax, and new land and civil codes. Within this period, poverty in Russia reduced by more than half, and real GDP has grown rapidly.
His tenure in office was remarkable until he lost it all as now his name is linked to war and destruction becoming one of the most hated people in the world.
February 2023 marked the year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a situation that came after months of tensions and quickly unraveled, leading to countless deaths and the displacement of millions.
More than Twelve months later, the invasion remains ongoing, with the United Nations Refugee Agency estimating that more than 8 million refugees are believed to have fled Ukraine since the start of the war.
Amid his ongoing invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been denounced as a “war criminal” and a “killer” without “a soul,” by U.S. President Joe Biden.
Vladimir Putin’s personal life has been a topic of interest to many. He’s been notoriously private about the women in his life.
But Western sanctions are shining a light on all his baby mommas and ex-mistresses, who are living lavish and luxurious lives in the West funded by money stolen from the Russian people.
Here’s a look at the warmonger’s love interests:
Who is Putin married to?
Putin (real name: Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin) is a Russian politician and former intelligence officer.
He was born on October 7, 1952, in Saint Petersburg, Russia to parents Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin, and Maria Ivanovna Shelomova. Another family member of the 70-year-old president is his aunty, Anna Putina.
Putin, had a normal upbringing in the Soviet Union, according to the English language version of his Kremlin biography.
“I come from an ordinary family, and this is how I lived for a long time, nearly my whole life. I lived as an average, normal person and I have always maintained that connection,” Putin said, according to his biography.
Putin, who is a judo enthusiast, literally had to fight for his mother’s approval during his childhood.
“Every time I went to a practice session, she would grumble, ‘He’s off to his fights again,'” Putin recalled in his biography.
It apparently took the convincing of Putin’s coach for his mother to support her son’s sporting endeavor.
Still, on his family, Russian President Putin has been married but is rumored to have separated but still a proud dad to two baby girls.

So, who is Vladimir Putin’s wife? President of Russia, Putin is currently not married and hence has no partner. However, he was previously married to his ex-wife Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Ocheretnaya. They tied the knot in 1983 but divorced in 2014.
Who is Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Ocheretnaya? She is a Russian linguist who served as the First Lady of Russia from 2000 to 2008 and from 2012 to 2014 as the ex-wife of Vladimir Putin, the current president and former prime minister of Russia.
How did Putin and his ex-wife Lyudmila meet?
In 1983, the former agent in the KGB, a Soviet intelligence agency, married Lyudmila Shkrebneva. The couple had two daughters: Mariya and Yekaterina, also known as Masha and Katya.
Putin and his ex-wife, Lyudmila Shkrebneva, who worked as a flight attendant, met through a mutual friend when she stopped off in Leningrad for a few days.
“I was used to life as a bachelor, but Lyudmila changed that,” Putin said, according to his biography.
Putin and Lyudmila married on July 28, 1983. They announced their separation in 2014.

Following his divorce, Putin was allegedly engaged to athlete Alina Kabaeva
In 2008, a Russian news outlet reported that Putin (then 56) had divorced Shkrebneva and gotten engaged to a 24-year-old Olympic gold medal rhythmic gymnast named Alina Kabaeva.
That story was promptly denied by Putin who told reporters, per The New York Times: “I have always disliked those who, with their infected noses and erotic fantasies, break into other people’s private affairs.”
The newspaper that reported the story, meanwhile, shut down shortly thereafter, according to the Times.
Five years later, in 2013, the Kremlin said that Putin and Lyudmila had indeed divorced. The speculation regarding his relationship with Kabaeva has persisted — even now, there have been reports that she allegedly went into hiding after the invasion, along with their rumored children, in a highly secure Swiss chalet.
Telegraph even reported that the Russian gymnast believed to be Vladimir Putin’s lover once said she was with her “ideal man” in an unearthed interview.
“Have you met your ideal man?” a young boy asked her during the audience-led interview.
Ms Kabaeva pauses for a few seconds, swivels in her chair, and plays with a pen before declaring: “I have met him.” She giggles before saying that she was “so happy”.
Another girl asks who the mystery boyfriend is.
“A man, a very good man, a great man,’ Ms Kabaeva said, adding: “I love him very much.”
Putin and his alleged girlfriend Kabaeva denied having a thing together.
The Russian tabloids have linked Putin to former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabayeva since 2008, however, both have denied the relationship according to reports from the past several years.
Kabayeva, known for her incredible flexibility, was one of the final torch bearers at the Sochi winter games — Putin’s pet project — earlier this year.
Putin, however, hasn’t budged, making no comments on his alleged romance or on the children he is speculated to have had with her or another woman.
Britain placed sanctions on Ms Kabaeva because of what the Foreign Office called her “close personal relationship” with Putin.

His affairs don’t end there, Putin is rumored to have had an affair with Svetlana Krivonogikh, his former cleaner, and she even bought a $4 million pad in Monaco, Pandora.
It seems even before Alina, Putin was having an affair with his former cleaner, Svetlana Krivonogikh, and even fathered another daughter with her.
Financial records and tax documents reviewed by the Washington Post and other media outlets reveal that a former cleaner who is alleged to be the onetime mistress of Russian President Vladimir Putin—and the mother of his supposed 18-year-old daughter—bought a lavish $4 million apartment in Monaco through an offshore shell company in the British Virgin Islands, created just weeks after she gave birth to the girl.
The multi-million outlay in 2003 by Svetlana Krivonogikh, now 48, begs questions of how the woman from humble origins netted not only a pad in a building advertised as “highly sought after by the world’s wealthiest,” but also stakes in a Russian bank and ski resort both linked to Putin, along with a yacht. Krivonogikh also used a Monaco financial services firm that was cozy with Putin’s billionaire friends. (Proekt, an online Russian investigative outlet, was banned from Russia after outing Krivonogikh’s alleged link to Putin in an investigation last year. The Kremlin denied the story.)
According to Andrei Zakharov, author of “Iron Masks,” an investigative report in Proekt media, Putin’s alleged mistress Krivonogikh has a net worth of $101 million.
She has been Putin’s “close acquaintance” since the 1990s, and her daughter, Luiza, “bears an uncanny resemblance” to the Kremlin’s leader, according to the report by Proekt media.
Victoria Lopyreva
Per NY Post, famous Russian Tv personality Victoria Lopyreva is an alleged mistress of Putin. Vic was the Miss Russia 2003, became an official ambassador of the FIFA World Cup and a director of the Miss Russia pageant. Not much is known about her affair with the Russian president.
Putin’s Children
Putin is a father of three daughters; two with his ex-wife and one illegitimate from his previous relationships. The names of all his kids are Maria Vorontsova, Katerina Tikhonova, and Luiza Rozova.
Putin’s two adult children with Lyudmila are Maria (born in 1985: age 37), and Katerina, (born in 1986: age 36). ABC reveals that the president’s baby girls are the two people who can apparently turn the former KGB agent into a big softy.
Just like George W. Bush’s daughters, Barbara and Jenna, the girls were named in honor of their grandmothers.
Putin’s ex-wife, Lyudmila, described him as a loving father, according to his biography. “He has always spoiled them, while I was the one who had to discipline them,” she said.
Maria Vorontsova
Maria is the first daughter of Putin and his ex-wife and she is the co-owner of a health care investment firm. She was living it up in luxury in the Netherlands and was dating a Dutch national, Jorrit Faasen, who had a high-paying job linked to Russia’s oil and gas sector. But they were booted out and forced to flee back to Russia in 2014 following Russia’s downing of a Malaysia Airlines flight that left 298 dead — including 193 Dutch people.
Katerina Tikhonova
Katerina Tikhonova is a former competitive dancer and the second daughter of Putin. She married Kirill Shamalov in 2013 — and he then became Russia’s youngest billionaire, as a director and part-owner of Sibur, a Russian oil and petrochemical company. They divorced in 2018.
Luiza Rozova

In 2021, Putin’s illegitimate 19-year-old daughter Luiza Rozova whom he had with Krivonogikh, was revealed.
In that year as thousands of Russians turned to the Clubhouse app to express their frustrations with the Kremlin, Putin’s alleged daughter was using it to share bizarre conspiracy theories.
She used the platform to share insights about her university major, her aspirations for a career in fashion, and her apparent affinity for wildly unhinged conspiracy theories, admitting she enjoyed the popularity it brought to her social media accounts.
