Looks like Russian president Vladimir Putin let the cat out of the bag, y'all! During a Q&A session at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), he dropped some major news - he's got a granddaughter who's fluent in Mandarin, with a nanny hailing from Beijing no less!
Putin's been coy about his family life, but this time he spilled the beans. "When I muttered something about people in my life, family, learning Chinese, I was referring to my badass granddaughter who kicks ass in Mandarin with her Beijing nanny," he quipped, sending the state-owned Russian news agency TASS and journalist Pavel Sarubin into a frenzy.
Putin's nearly 30-year marriage to German teacher Lyudmila yielded two daughters: Katerina, born in Dresden in 1986, and Maria, a year elder. There have been unconfirmed tales of possible mistresses and other suspected offspring of Putin, but none so intriguing as this granddaughter.
China's Influence in Russia Grows
According to Putin, the interest in China is growing in Russia. China's Beijing's BFF, Russia, with Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping sharing a close bond.
