Did Russian president's 'affair' with young gymnast end his 30-year marriage?

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his wife, Lyudmila, have announced that they have separated and their marriage is over.

The 60-year-old and his 55-year-old wife broke the news of the end of the 29-year marriage in an obviously staged TV interview after a night at the ballet that made no mention of Putin's alleged mistress, former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabayeva, 30.

Asked on Rossiya-24 television about longstanding rumours that the Putins no longer lived together, the 60-year-old Putin said: 'That is true.'

But neither clarified whether they were legally divorced and Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said he did not know.

The obviously staged interview made no mention of Alina Kabayeva, a 30-year-old former gymnast who is rumoured to have been Putin's mistress for years.

All you need is a few beers to go with that pretzel, and what man wouldn’t be happy.

What Putin does in his country is his concern.

My concern is that we've had two DEM Presidents that were total "tramps" and our government just let it ride.

Not hard to tell why Putin would be tempted.

Putin is a typical power mad politician who believes that he simply MUST have whatever the hell he wants at whatever the cost.

He is the age (or probably more) of this girl's father.

On top of all of that, he is a former, ruthless KGB leader who coninues to have visions of granduer with the "old ways," of the Soviet Union.

Absolutely and completely not to be trusted.
