The Russian leader has been missing, prompting speculation he’s deathly ill—but Italian and Swiss media says he’s just been in Lugano for the birth of his baby. Russian president Vladimir Putin appears to be back at the Kremlin after a mysterious disappearance that had people wondering if the Russian leader might be seriously ill or at risk of a coup. But a Swiss newspaper says the Russian playboy was just in Lugano for the birth of his lovechild.
In an article titled Es ist ein Mädchen! or “It’s a Girl,” the paper Bilk claims that Putin and his alleged 32-year-old lover, Olympic gymnast Alina Kabayeva, welcomed their daughter at the private Santa Anna di Sorgeno clinic in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino on the Italian border—a favorite playground for wealthy Russians.
According to Il Messaggero newspaper, the daughter of former Italian prime minister and Putin BFF Silvio Berlusconi gave birth to Berlusconi’s grandson Edward there in 2009. Il Messaggero also reports that the baby girl is the third child Putin has sired with the former gymnast. The other two children were reportedly born in 2009 and 2012.
The Italian-language Swiss radio channel RSI is reporting that Putin reserved two rooms at the tony clinic—one for the new mother and another for their bodyguards. According to the Italian-language Swiss website Ticino News, Putin stayed with friends for the birth. They also point to a Twitter page linked to Kabayeva that seems to announce the birth though the Tweet would suggest the baby is a boy and the Swiss media say instead it is a girl.

Assuming it's true:
(1) He just made every spy agency that follows Putin and knows his every movement look totally inept
(2) Security and privacy for mommy and the young one
(3) If it's true, he's grabbed the world's attention again as the virile guy who strips to the waist to go horseback riding
I have no opinion whether it's true or false. But either way, it's pretty funny that Putin can just disappear.
Jen Psaki just answered a Q about it, and she looked nervous, not her usual cocky, condescending self.
The head of the CJ department at the school I work just passed away. He was 75. His youngest daughter is 11.
And Tony Randell - he didn’t father kids till he was in his mid to late 70’s.
Just cause’s there’s snow on the roof, doesn’t mean there’s no fire in the furnace :-)
Doesn’t look like it’s a secret anymore :-)
Well I’m six months older than Putin. Maybe I should try to find a hot gymnast half my age. Or even a warm one.
Use of lose it :-)
Grr.
Use it or lose it!
How sweet of Putty to tend to his illegitimate child. Perhaps he’ll name her Knyaginya of Yekaterinburg.
Aww! He’s got a little Putini!!!!!!
