Is Russian president Vladimir Putin marrying former gymnast, Alina Kabaeva? He must be following the footsteps of the French president Nicolas Sarkozy.  Oh no, there isn’t that big of an age gap between President Nicolas and his newly wed wife, Carla Bruni. President Putin is 56 and Kabaeva is 24. At least she’s older than both of his kids apparently they are 22 and 23 somewhere around there.

(( Rumors of a romance have been sweeping Russia for months but a wedding was an unexpected surprise as he has not officially announced his marriage with 50-year-old wife Ludmilla was over.

This morning at a press conference at Berlusconi’s villa at Porto Rotondo on the island of Sardinia — a well known millionaire’s playground — there was a moment of embarrassment as the question was asked.

Mr Putin, gathered his thoughts, and then said sternly: “There is not a word of truth in this story. Politicians live in glass houses, everyone wants to know how they live, but there are limits and there is a private life and these limits should be respected.”

Reports of a relationship with Miss Kabaeva have been circulating for months and besides being a gymnast she is also an MP and model. – Telegraph.UK
