She was also at his side when he served briefly as Russia's Prime Minister from 1999-2000. Lyudmila Aleksandrovna is said to be married to her long-time friend, businessman Artur Ocheretny.

Although little is known about Lyudmila and her family, the Kremlin did release a statement on the amicable divorce between herself and the then-newly-elected president. Within the first year of Vladimir Putin's second election as President of Russia, Lyudmila Alexandrova was quoted as saying that the marriage had broken down because she hardly ever saw her then-husband. Although she has not confirmed this publicly, she has officially changed her last name.

Even though Lyudmila maintained a relatively low profile as the Second and even the First Lady of Russia, she's still recognizable worldwide.
