Russian President Vladimir Putin and his wife, Lyudmila, have announced that they have separated and their marriage is over.
The 60-year-old and his 55-year-old wife broke the news of the end of the 29-year marriage in an obviously staged TV interview after a night at the ballet that made no mention of Putin's alleged mistress, former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabayeva, 30.
Asked on Rossiya-24 television about longstanding rumours that the Putins no longer lived together, the 60-year-old Putin said: 'That is true.'
But neither clarified whether they were legally divorced and Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said he did not know.
The obviously staged interview made no mention of Alina Kabayeva, a 30-year-old former gymnast who is rumoured to have been Putin's mistress for years.

If you could pull me off of that gymnast, you would be declared King of England!

Some creeps have appeal even if they are creeps.....
My concern is that we've had two DEM Presidents that were total "tramps" and our government just let it ride.
He does not look that interested in her. LOL!
Are they holding hands in that picture? There are two hands on that knee, correct?
Very good!
Had me laughing out loud, and I needed that.
Not hard to tell why Putin would be tempted.
Not interested for sure...
I’m sure she bends over backwards to make him happy.
Count the fingers
They are holding hands at the moment
Saw this, thought of you, don’t know why...
He is the age (or probably more) of this girl's father.
On top of all of that, he is a former, ruthless KGB leader who coninues to have visions of granduer with the "old ways," of the Soviet Union.
Absolutely and completely not to be trusted.
