Ex-Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin’s divorce finalized: report
Finland’s party-loving former Prime Minister Sanna Marin finalized her divorce from her now ex-husband this week, according to a report.
Marin, who previously went viral for dancing wildly during a rager with her celebrity friends, announced last May that she and Markus Raikkonen were splitting up after the pair tied the knot in 2020.
The break-up seemed to have segued into a “hot girl” summer where Marin sported stylish outfits while having fun at festivals.
The former state leader left politics last fall after losing her reelection to the European country’s opposition right-wing party in April.
The divorce between Marin, 37, and Raikkonen was finalized Monday by the Pirkanmaa District Court, Finnish outlet Yle reported.
When the two filed for divorce eight months ago, they posted a joint statement “vowing to remain best friends.”
Marin and Raikkonen, an investor and retired soccer player, share a daughter and were together for 19 years before their 2020 nuptials.
“We have lived our youth together, entered adulthood together and grown into parents for our dear daughter together,” Marin wrote on Instagram at the time.
Marin became the world’s youngest prime minister when she clinched election at age 34 in 2019, but came under fire in August when videos leaked of her partying raucously, including footage of her grinding up an unidentified man.
Marin is now a strategic advisor to the Tony Blair Institute, which works with political leaders “to create real change for their people by advising on strategy, policy and delivery.”
She also moved from Tampere to Helsinki in October after stepping down from her city councilor position in the Finnish city, Yle reported.
