During a recent visit to a school in the Russian region of Tuva, President Vladimir Putin made a rare and intriguing comment about his family, reigniting speculation about his private life.
Don't Follow My Example
On September 2, while addressing students at High School No. 20 in Kyzyl to mark the start of the new school year, Putin offered some personal advice and unexpectedly mentioned the "youngest members" of his family, accordin to SE.
In a candid moment, Putin advised the students not to follow his example when it comes to time management, admitting that he struggles with organizing his day.
He revealed that he only managed four hours of sleep the previous night, a situation he attributed not to a heavy workload but to poor planning.
“Everyone should be critical of themselves and learn from their mistakes. I try to do this and recommend you do the same,” Putin told the students.
Referring to Young Children?
However, it was his subsequent remarks that caught the most attention. Putin, who is notoriously private about his personal life, discussed the importance of learning foreign languages, specifically mentioning Chinese.
“Even the youngest members of my family speak fluent Chinese,” he said, sparking widespread speculation.
Many wondered if he was referring to children rumored to be his with former gymnast Alina Kabaeva, often dubbed Russia's "most flexible woman."
Putin, who has two adult daughters from his marriage to his ex-wife Lyudmila, rarely speaks about his family. According to reports, these daughters are fluent in several languages, including Russian, English, German, and French.
However, rumors have persisted that Putin has more children with Kabaeva, including a son born in 2015 and possibly twins born in 2019. These comments have led to renewed speculation about the true nature of his family life.
