Sanna Marin, outgoing Finnish premier, divorces Markus Räikkönen.
The two announced the end of their love on social media with two identical stories, each from their own Instagram account.
“We filed for divorce by mutual agreement – they write – We are grateful for the 19 years spent together and for our beloved daughter. We are still best friends. We will continue to spend time together as a family and with each other. We hope you will respect our privacy. We will not comment further on the matter."
Married in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, both 37 years old, they had been together since they were kids and have a five-year-old daughter, Emma Amalia . They had been drifting apart for some time, and according to Finnish tabloids, they were just waiting for the right moment to break the news.
That is, after the elections that saw Marin defeated. In 2019, at the age of 33, she became the youngest prime minister in the world at the head of a centre-left coalition with 5 female party leaders, 4 of whom were under the age of 35. Under her mandate, Marin led Finland to historic membership of the Born , but it was not enough to get re - elected . Soon after, she resigned from the leadership of the Social Democratic party.
Räikkönen is the former Tampere Pallio-Veiko centre-forward. Just before the election he had been paparazzi with another woman.
