Putin to marry 25 years old Russian gymnast beauty

He apparently divorced his wife and plans to marry the 25-year-old Alina Kabaeva
French president Nicolas Sarkozy seems to have started a trend among heads of state around the world. After he divorced his wife of 11 years and married a younger model, now Russian president Vladimir Putin seems set to make a similar move. Russian press speculates that he already divorced his wife Liudmila Putina some two months ago and now the plan is set for a June wedding with former gymnast and current member of the State Duma, Alina Kabaeva.
Putin is 56 years old at the moment and Alina is only 25 but when Cupid's arrow strikes true, there's no messing about, is there? The Russian newspaper Moskovski Korrespondent says that things are already set, like the date and the location. They think the fortunate event is going to happen on June 15 in Sankt Petersburg, the birth place of the president.
These rumors were started by the fact that, on a recent visit to Soci where he met with George and Laura Bush, Putin wasn't accompanied by his wife. The fact that Putin, a former KGB agent, keeps his private life private is known among media outlets. Some people aren't aware of the fact that he has two daughters, one of whom is already married and living in Munchen.
To spice things up, let's take a look at the possible bride-to-be. Uzbekistan-born Alina represented Russia in a couple of major sporting events and took the gold medal at the 2004 Olympic games in Athens as well as bronze in 2000 in Sydney. In Russia, she is considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the country and, as of 2007, she entered politics siding with the pro-Kremlin United Russia party. As an interesting side-note, let it be known to the world that Alina Kabaeva, the rhythmic gymnast, is known for her extreme natural flexibility, with an emphasis on extreme. Enough said.
