First photos of Vladimir Putin’s ‘secret’ purported eldest son emerge online: report
@Source: nypost.com
Photos have emerged online that claim to show the longtime purported son of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his rumored ex-Olympian lover Alina Kabaeva, according to reports. The first images of 10-year-old Ivan Vladimirovich Putin were revealed to the public in allegedly leaked photos from anonymously run Russian Telegram channel VChk-OGPU, the Sun reported. In one of the leaked pics, the blonde boy blankly stares at the camera from under an uneven bowl cut and over a firmly set mouth while wearing a traditional Russian cossack with a braided design around the collar and down the lapel. VChk-OGPU described Ivan as “the loneliest boy in Russia” saying he “hardly communicates with other children, spending all his time with guards, governesses, [and] teachers,” the Sun reported. In another photo, Ivan is allegedly pictured next to his supposed mother, Kabaeva, a former Russian Olympic rhythmic gymnast and longtime rumored romantic partner of Vladimir Putin, according to reports. Putin, 72, and Kabaeva, 41, are believed to have four children together, including sons Ivan Putin and Vladimir Putin Jr., according to The Moscow Times, which cited an investigative report from the Dossier Center. Ivan was born in 2015 at a maternity clinic in the Swiss city of Lugano, according to those reports. The boy is supposedly obsessed with Disney cartoons and movies — going so far as to dress up in costumes — much to the dismay of the Russian president, the Dossier Center reported. Ivan is also an avid hockey player, according to that report. After Kabaeva had reportedly given birth to two girls, Putin was said to have been elated at the birth of young Ivan, according to sources. “When he was born, Vladimir Putin was so happy that he shouted: ‘Hurray! Finally! A boy!,’” a source told the outlet. Vladimir Putin Jr. was born in the spring of 2019 in Moscow, that report claimed. Both boys reportedly live under opulent, but isolating conditions, surrounded by paid teachers and caretakers — and traveling in secluded fashion on armored trains, private aircrafts, and yachts. At the outset of the war in Ukraine, Putin sent the entire family to the famously neutral Switzerland, Page Six reported. “Alina has two young boys and twin girls with Putin who were born in Switzerland,” a source dished. “While Putin carries out his assault on the Ukraine, attacking innocent citizens and causing a refugee crisis, his family is holed up in a very private and very secure chalet somewhere in Switzerland,” the source told Page Six in 2022. Another anonymous Russian Telegram channel claimed that Kabaeva was pregnant yet again, this time with another baby girl. Kabaeva, once described as “Russia’s most flexible woman,” won the bronze medal in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and a gold medal in Athens in 2004 for rhythmic gymnastics. She and Putin may have begun their alleged romantic relationship — which has always been denied publicly — as early as 2008, according to the investigative report from Dossier Center. Putin has two “official” children from a previous marriage to former flight attendant Lyudmila Ocheretnaya — but daughters Maria, 37, and Katerina, 35, have also been kept from the spotlight.
