Vladimir Putin, 69, ‘stunned to discover his ex-gymnast lover, 38, is pregnant again’

VLADIMIR Putin has been stunned to discover his lover is pregnant again, it was reported in Moscow yesterday.

Russia’s ailing tyrant - who turns 70 in October - is said to already have at least two sons with former Olympic rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 38.

But he had not planned more and was said to be “subdued and withdrawn” on hearing she was expecting.

Sources claimed the president fumed when the news broke as he prepared to show off his war machine at Red Square’s Victory Day parade today.

Divorced Putin - said to be plagued by cancer and Parkinson’s disease - wants nothing to mar the pageant showcasing his missiles.

Russian news channel General SVR Telegram revealed the claim Alina, dubbed Russia’s most flexible woman, is pregnant.

It said: “Putin found out his mistress is yet again pregnant — and by the looks of it this wasn’t planned.”

A comment on the channel’s website sniped: “Who’s the daddy?”

Putin has never admitted a relationship with media boss Kabaeva — earlier said to be hiding in Switzerland.

A local newspaper reported she had a son there in 2015 and another in Moscow in 2019.
