There were times when the personal lives of politicians were kept in the strictest confidence. However, even today, not all leaders of countries are ready to put their children and grandchildren on public display. For example, for a long time no one knew about the presence of Vladimir Putin's grandchildren, but that Donald Trump had once again become a grandfather was known almost on the same day. What kind of famous politicians become, not under the sights of television cameras, but next to their grandchildren?

Donald Trump

The birth of Caroline Trump on August 19, 2019, made the President of the United States a happy grandfather for the tenth time. The eldest son of President Donald has five heirs, Ivanka is raising three children, and the youngest son Eric became a dad for the second time. Donald Trump gets along well with his grandchildren and sometimes even takes them with him on trips. The President communicates very touchingly with his little grandchildren, treats them with love, and they seem to reciprocate with him completely.

Vladimir Putin

In 2017, Vladimir Putin admitted that he has two grandchildren, and the youngest was born shortly before the interview of Russian President Oliver Stone. Vladimir Vladimirovich categorically refused to give the names and ages of the babies, since, in his opinion, children do not need excessive attention. He believes that grandchildren should have a normal childhood and that they should not be brought up as "princes of the blood." Putin admitted that he loves his grandchildren very much, but due to his heavy workload, he does not communicate with them as often as he would like.

George W. Bush

The 43rd President of the United States is a three-time grandfather. One of his daughters, Jenna, has already made her parents happy with three grandchildren. George W. Bush does not hide the fact that he loves to spend time with his two granddaughters and grandson. He reads fairy tales to them with pleasure, tells instructive stories and is proud of their successes. The second daughter of the ex-president, Barbara, until she became a mother.

Leonid Brezhnev

Leonid Ilyich treated his grandchildren with warmth, however, due to his busyness, he could not devote enough time to them. Victoria, daughter of Galina Brezhneva, was the favorite of grandparents. While Galina Brezhneva and her husband, the circus artist Yevgeny Milaev, were on tour, only grandfather and grandmother were involved in raising her granddaughter. Many years later, Victoria recalled her grandfather as very affectionate, kind and cheerful. The grandson Andrei, who was born in the family of the General Secretary's son, admitted: Leonid Ilyich worked so much that sometimes he did not have enough time to sleep. Nevertheless, he loved to talk with his grandchildren, was keenly interested in their affairs, while he was healthy. And in general, Brezhnev in everyday life was very simple and unassuming, he was no different from ordinary Soviet people.

Bill clinton

A successful politician, the 42nd President of the United States is a three-time grandfather. Despite his active social activities, carried out after the end of his duties as the leader of the country, Bill Clinton always finds time for his grandchildren, whom his only daughter Chelsea gave him. When he is in the company of his grandchildren, a smile never leaves his face, and he looks at children with undisguised tenderness.

Nikita Khrushchev

The son of Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev died from his first marriage during the Great Patriotic War. Leonid left a daughter, Julia, who lived with her mother, Lyubov Sizykh. The girl's mother was arrested shortly after her husband's death, and Nikita Sergeevich adopted a three-year-old Julia. He raised her like his own child, treated her with great warmth and care. The girl only at the age of 19 learned that Nikita Khrushchev and his wife Nina Kukharchuk were not her parents.

Boris Yeltsin

Two daughters of the first President of Russia gave their father six grandchildren. Yeltsin treated everyone with great warmth, but singled out, according to the politician's grandchildren, Boris, the eldest son of Tatyana's daughter, and Maria, Elena's second daughter. Unfortunately, he also rarely managed to find time for his grandchildren. But they all remember the main advice of their famous grandfather: "Always be yourself!" The older grandchildren tell the younger about this, preserving the memory of their beloved grandfather.

Mikhail Gorbachev

Mikhail Sergeevich was always keenly interested in the affairs of his two granddaughters, Xenia and Anastasia. At the same time, the eldest granddaughter took the name of her grandfather and became Gorbacheva. Both granddaughters have great respect for their grandfather, never miss his birthdays and attend all events related to his celebration.

Saddam Hussein

It is not known whether Saddam Hussein could have spent much time with his grandchildren. Mustafa, the son of Kusey, was able to surprise even the seasoned American soldiers. During the assault on the mansion of Sheikh Navwaf Zeydan, he alone survived and fought for six hours, laying down 14 infantrymen. After the teenager was killed, the Americans could not believe for a long time that they were confronted for several hours by a single Mustafa, almost a child.

Modern grandparents have long ceased to be associated with deep wrinkles, gray hair and sitting on a bench. Today they are young, full of strength and energy. Celebrities who had grandchildren at an early age look so young at all that they can hardly be called grandparents. However, they successfully combine professional careers and family life, helping the heirs to raise their children.
