The Kremlin just got a tiny bit colder.

Russian President Vladimir Putin officially divorced Lyudmila, his wife of more than 30 years, according to multiple reports. Putin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the news to Russian news agency Itar Tass on Tuesday, months after the couple said they would divorce in a surprise television announcement last June. The Putins have two daughters, Yekaterina and Maria, both in their late 20s.

As of Wednesday, Putin's biography page on the Kremlin website no longer mentions Lyudmila, according to The Moscow Times. However, site visitors can still find her name on a page dedicated to a lengthier version of the president's life story. 

“It was a joint decision: We hardly see each other," Putin, 61, said in the June interview. "Each of us has our own life." Lyudmila, 56, said the agreement was "civilized," and that the two would continue to be friends.

Although little is known about Putin's private affairs, rumors that the marriage was on shaky ground have been around since 2008. That year, Russian newspaper Moskovsky Korrespondent published an article alleging that the president planned to marry former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabayeva.

Although the paper folded shortly after that report, rumors persisted. Last September, a Twitter user tweeted that the Valdai Hills, a popular tourist destination in Russia, had been shut off to outsider for Putin and Kabayeva's alleged wedding; the tweet was then retweeted by Putin's political rival Alexei Navalny, according to The Telegraph. Kabayeva, 30, was spotted with a large ring in February, but both parties have denied any relationship.
