The mayor of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, and his wife Natalia, who lives in Germany, want to divorce.
“It is the wish of both sides,” the 51-year-old told the Ukrainian website Babel in an interview published yesterday. His wife (48), who had moved to Hamburg years ago, and he still had a good relationship and respected each other, said Klitschko.
“The children are already grown and life goes on,” said the ex-boxing world champion, who has led the capital of the Eastern European country since 2014, which has now been defending itself once morest a Russian war of aggression for almost six months. It’s no secret that Natalia and he have been living in different countries for years, Klitschko added.
“Different interests, different lives for many years. And we have now decided to make it official.” The two have two sons and a daughter between the ages of 17 and 22. The two married 26 years ago in April 1996 in Kyiv.
