The official spoke to Reuters on the sidelines of a rock and roll dance festival in Moscow and twice answered, “Yes,” when asked if Tikhonova was Putin’s daughter.
Tikhonova, 31, is also WRRC’s vice president for expansion and marketing, reported Reuters.
Tikhonova is married to Kirill Shamalov, the son of banker and longtime friend of Putin, Nikolai Shamalov, whose family is worth $1.32 billion.
President Putin was previously married to Lyudmila Shkrebneva but was divorced in 2014. They have two daughters. Putin has been rumored to be involved with, and possibly married, to former Olympic gymnast, Alina Kabayeva.
