The boy was named Adrian.
The youngest official daughter of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Ekaterina Tikhonova, has given birth to a son with ballet choreographer Igor Zelensky.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing Russian media.
The boy was named Adrian, but his birth was registered nearly 11 months after he was born. Thus, Putin likely now has a fourth grandson.
Journalists examined leaked records from Russian civil registry offices. According to the documents, Adrian Igorevich Tikhonov was born on August 15, 2025, in Moscow.
The first birth certificate was issued on the day of his birth by the Central Clinical Hospital of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, commonly known as the “Kremlin Hospital.”
However, the birth certificate was not issued until July 10, 2026, at the Chertanovo Civil Registry Office in Moscow. In other words, the registration took place nearly 11 months after the child’s birth.
At the same time, Russian law requires parents to report the birth of a child no later than one month after the birth. It is unknown why the procedure was delayed so significantly in the case of Tikhonova’s son.
Journalists speculate that this may have been due to the Putin family’s desire to conceal the arrival of yet another grandson or to complications arising from the parents’ different last names—Tikhonova and Zelensky.
It is noteworthy that the boy was given his mother’s last name rather than that of his presumed father. “The Agency” discovered Adrian’s birth record on only one leak aggregator. Journalists compared it with other records from this database and found no signs of falsification.
What is known about the relationship between Tikhonova and Zelensky
Ekaterina Tikhonova is the younger of Putin’s two official daughters. Since 2013, she has been married to Russian businessman Kirill Shamalov, the son of Nikolai Shamalov—a close friend of the Russian dictator.
No later than 2017, Tikhonova began a relationship with ballet master Igor Zelensky, who at the time headed the Bavarian State Ballet in Munich.
According to journalists, the couple already has an older daughter named Elsa, who was born in December 2017. Unlike her younger brother, the girl was given the last name and patronymic of her presumed father—Igor Zelensky—at birth.
However, when traveling abroad, the girl uses her mother’s last name. Leaked documents indicate that her passport was issued in her mother’s name.
Since 2021, Tikhonova herself has appeared at public events primarily via video link. This was also the case two months before the birth of her son. Five weeks after giving birth, in September 2025, she also spoke online to participants at the “Razgon” festival.
