Is Maria Vorontsova Married?

Maria Vorontsova, a Russian pediatric endocrinologist and the eldest child of Russian president Vladimir Putin is married to Dutch businessman Jorrit Faassen.

In 2013, they were living in a penthouse atop the highest residential building in Voorschoten in the Netherlands.

In 2014, Dutch residents called for Vorontsova to be expelled from the country after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down by pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine.

In 2015, Vorontsova and Faassen were reported to be living in Moscow.

Vorontsova studied biology at Saint Petersburg State University and is a graduate of medicine at Moscow State University in 2011.

She was a PhD candidate at the Endocrinology Research Centre in Moscow, headed by Dedov and which runs the charity project Alfa-Endo, for children with endocrine diseases.

Alfa-Endo is funded by Petr Aven and Mikhail Fridman’s Alfa-Bank of the Alfa Group.

Between 2013 and 2015, Vorontsova co-authored five studies including “The status of blood antioxidant system in patients with active acromegaly”.

She also, in 2015, co-authored a book about idiopathic stunting in children.

Vorontsova is credited to be Putin’s advisor in genetic engineering, especially in the usage of CRISPR to create genetically-engineered babies.
