VLADIMIR PUTIN has a lot on his hand right now with the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
Despite that, it does not mean that he doesn't have a family to look over too, in fact, he has two daughters, and maybe a secret one.
How many children does Vladimir Putin have?
Vladimir Putin has two daughters, Mariya and Yekaterina.
Over his long political career, Putin always kept his children, out of the limelight, never permitting them to be seen and rarely even speaking about them.

3Yekaterina – born on August 31, 1986 – known by the family name of her maternal grandmother, Tikhonova, has gone from being a high-kicking "rock’n’roll" dancer to spearheading a major new Russian artificial intelligence initiative.
She was formerly married to Russia’s youngest billionaire, Kirill Shamalov, though is now divorced.

Does Vladimir Putin have more children?
Putin is alleged to have a third "secret daughter".
The Russian leader strongly denies the claims.
His suspected third daughter from an alleged extra-marital relationship, Luiza Rozova, 18, a fashion designer and DJ, was making a splash on Instagram and has a striking resemblance to Putin.
Putin has not spoken about Rozova, also known as Elizaveta Krivonogikh, born to Svetlana Krivonogikh, 45, allegedly Putin’s ex-lover.
Since being "outed" by the opposition media in 2021, student Luiza has become a social media star with almost 100,000 followers with her own fashion line.
She is also in demand as a DJ.
Luiza has admitted to Russian GQ that she “probably” looks “similar” to a young Putin, but did not confirm the relationship.
Putin’s relationship with Svetlana supposedly ended around the time he was first romantically linked to Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Alina Kabaeva, 38, head of a major pro-Kremlin media company.
When the story originally broke, Putin’s spokesperson said that the love child allegations were “not very convincing” and “de facto unfounded”.
Is Vladimir Putin expecting any more children?
Rumours about him already having two secret sons from Alina had already flown around.
It is rumoured that his first son was born in Switzerland in 2015 and the other was born in Russia in 2019.
In May 2022, more rumours rose that Alina was once again pregnant but it is not certain who the father would be.
