It is an ancient Russian tradition for an aging leader to become a monk. Usually they go to a monastery, but Putin still has work to do in MAKING RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN. However, one of his best friends is Patriarch Kirill. In an NTV documentary about his personal life, Putin revealed that he eats honey with his breakfast that he gets from his friend, the Patriarch who lives nearby. This, I believe is symbolic as well as literal, stating that Kirill advises him on personal matters of the spirit.
Putin does still see his ex-wife at family gatherings like Christmas, but it is a private matter, and media are banned.
I believe he is following the tradition of the WARRIOR-MONK and that eventually, he will go to a monastery and make it official.
He does live a spartan life. Sure he has a fully equipped gym next to his kitchen, and he has a huge pool to swim laps everyday. But he does not get involved in the conspicuous luxury consumption that most oligarchs in the USA and Russia, spend their money on.
He has some cars, but they are old antique classic Russian cars, not the Lamborghinis and Ferraris that wealthy people waste money on.
He never runs of to places like Fiji for his vacations, always spending his time in some interesting part of Russia, often in the wild parts of Siberia.
I think he spends his time praying, not fucking.
