It’s been well reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin has essentially been missing (he hasn’t been seen on TV or in the media) since March 5, which is quite unusual for him.

His spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, has been working overtime to try and clear up any rumors about the leader. A few include: He’s dead, had a stroke, fighting off a coup attempt, or just plain sick.

But now we can add another one to the list: He’s having a baby with his girlfriend, the former gymnast-turned politician Alina Kabaeva.
