If Vladimir Putin does not never made his relationship with Alina Kabaeva official, however, many have focused their attention on the 40-year-old woman. At the end of 2023, the former Olympic gymnast had disappeared from the radar for more than 40 days. A distance which then caused multiple theories and assumptionsespecially since the last appearance of the unofficial First Lady of the President of Russia rdates back to October 22, 2023, the same day when rumors surrounding Vladimir Putin’s health caused a stir. Finally, Alina Kabaeva reappeared at the beginning of December, according to The Sun, on videos from the gymnastics academy of Sochi, a coastal resort on the Black Sea, where his family owns a luxurious triplex. The former sportswoman would therefore divide her time between this Russian city, Turkey where she acquired two houses as well as Switzerland, where she would raise her supposed children with Vladimir Putin. Travels which remain very secret since the Russian president has never confirmed having had other children, after the birth of his two daughters, Maria and Ekaterina, from his first marriage.
