One of Russia's most mysterious people has some personal news.
Katerina Tikhonova, the woman believed to be the youngest daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has divorced her husband Kirill Shamalov, Bloomberg reported Thursday. Key facts about the couple — like how long were together or when their divorce was finalized — remain a mystery. In fact, only a few things are known about Tikhonova at all, including that she's 31, she's an "acrobatic rock 'n' roll" dancer, and she's apparently staggeringly wealthy.
