Alina Kabaeva
Meet Alina Kabaeva; the former Russian Olympic gymnast and rumored girlfriend of Russian president Vladimir Putin, since 2008. More recently is possible that Alina, who hasn’t been seen since 2018, when rumors about pregnancy first emerge, may have given birth to Putin’s twin sons.
Talks between Putin and his ex-wife Lyudmila allegedly started in 1983; it came to our ears that there is a new lady in the heart of the Russian politician, a much younger lady I must add, her name is Alina Kabaeva and yes, she is the former Olympic gymnast turned politician who is 30 years his junior.
This is not the first time media has reported a story about Alina and Vladimir being involved, the first time came in 2008; not long after that, Russian paper Moskovsky Korrespondent stated that they were engaged.
The story was published on April 12, 2008, both denied the allegations Putin said there is not a single word of truth in that story, Alina’s rep called the story nonsense and by October 29, 2008, the Moskovsky Korrespondent was closed on financial grounds, nobody talked a thing about it until the following year when in December 2009 Alina gave birth to her son Dmitri, many believed the boy’s father is Putin, but Alina denied it.
Alina also denied that had given birth to a boy or any child whatsoever.
About Gossip
Dear friends!It is never been my habit to comment on rumours, but I’ve decided to make an exception because I can’t let so many warm words and good wishes go unanswered…On this page I promised to tell you about the most important events in my life and about my family. So when I become a mother (which hasn’t happened yet) I’ll definitely write about it.Thanks to everyone who has sent congratulations and was worried about me. Only because of all of you, I’ve broken my rule of never paying attention to gossip.
Let’s not forget Alina was romantically involved with the militia captain who moved to Moscow from Georgia in 1996 to apply for a post-graduate course at the Moscow Institute of Law, Shalva a former boxer holds degrees – athletic and legal.
In 2004 Alina and Shalva announced they were getting married, around that time a Russian paper published an interview with Shalva’s wife Olga, mother of his daughter. Shalva and Olga got divorced soon after that but kept in touch eventually Alina and Shalva split up.
Some media talked about the possibility that Putin and Alina will get married now that he is single and free to mingle, I guess only time will tell what is going to happen to these two. But would you like to know more about Vladimir Putin’s rumored girlfriend/ mistress and baby mama?
