****** has 2 daughters he barely ever talks about, and is rumored to have at least 1 more

Russian President Vladimir ****** has at least two daughters he rarely talks about.

He has two daughters with his ex-wife Lyudmila Shkrebneva: Maria and Katerina, both in their 30s.

Various unconfirmed reports say he has at least three other children, who he fiercely guards from the limelight.

Russian President Vladimir ****** is famously secretive about his personal life.

****** has long tried to shield his personal life from the spotlight.

He has rarely publicly acknowledged his children, though media outlets have for years reported that he has two daughters with his ex-wife.

****** is also rumored to have had relationships that may have produced other, secret children, including

and a girl from a later rumored affair.

******’s family affairs are so secretive that reports of exactly how many children he may have fathered have varied over the years, as have their names.

Most recently, in November 2024, Ukrainian media reportedly tracked down one of ******’s alleged daughters, who was living in Paris and working as a DJ.

His first official biographer, Natalya Gevorkyan, interviewed him and his family in 1999.

The family was soon isolated and surrounded by security after ****** became prime minister for the first time, she said.

His daughters told her that they admired their father and were proud of him, but it appeared they didn’t get to see him much, she said.

******’s marriage may also have been loveless. Lyudmila “was not a happy woman” and ****** wouldn’t “hold” her, his biographer said.

“I understood that [Lyudmila] was not a happy woman. She was not,” the biographer Gevorkyan said, speaking of her interviews conducted in 1999.

Gevorkyan said she had the impression ****** did not love her. She recalled Lyudmila as saying: “There are women who are admired by men, I think I am not that kind of woman. He will not hold me in his hands.”

Gevorkyan said Lyudmila’s tone was “more with respect” to her husband.

“I had the feeling that she really loved him,” she added. “And I had a feeling that she was not that much loved back. I didn’t have the feeling that it was a successful marriage for her.”

Lyudmila had become “almost invisible” in ******’s public life, according to Nina Khrushcheva, a professor of international affairs at New York’s New School.

****** was rumored to be seeing Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, while Luydmila was believed to have begun dating businessman and triathlete Arthur Ocheretny by around 2010.

The wedding was highly secure and included a laser show, an ice-skating display, and a mock Russian village, according to Reuters.

A 2023 investigation found that the couple, though married by a priest in an elaborate ceremony, never formalized their vows at the registry office, as required by the Russian Orthodox *******. The report suggested this was connected to the structure of the family’s vast and secretive property holdings.

By 2018, the pair had split, according to

In June 2021, Katerina addressed the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum — but nobody called her ******’s daughter, apparently out of ***** of reprisal from the Kremlin.

At the same event in 2024, Katerina appeared virtually, commenting on the “technological sovereignty” of the nation’s military.

The following day, Maria spoke in person on a panel about biotech innovations. Programming listed her as a member of the Russian Association for the Promotion of Science, according to CNN.

It’s unclear exactly when ****** began dating the famed gymnast, but rumors were swirling long before he and Lyudmila announced their divorce.

In a 2008 news conference in Italy, a reporter asked him about the chatter, which ****** dismissed, adding: “I always disliked people who go around with their ******* fantasies, sticking their *****-ridden noses into another person’s life.”

Reports have varied over the years on what children they have, with tabloid reports of the birth of a daughter in 2015.

More recently, however, an investigation reported that they have two sons.

Neither the relationship nor the reported children have been confirmed by Russia.

More than a year later, as the war dragged on, Dutch authorities seized land belonging to Maria’s ex-husband Jorrit Faassen, who was under suspicion of evading sanctions.
