Russian President Vladimir Putin has got himself a bit of a reputation for terrible time keeping.

Vladimir Putin tends to keep his personal life away from the spotlight which means not much is known about him, aside from his political life.The 69 year old President of Russia was married to former flight attendant Lyudmila between 1983 and 2014, but they went their separate ways due to "barely seeing each other." She said: "Vladimir is completely submerged in his work. Our children have grown up, each of them is living her own life… And I truly don’t like publicity." The couple announced they were ending their marriage in June 2013, and the divorce was then finalised by the Kremlin in April 2014.
