The Pirkanmaa District Court on Monday confirmed that the divorce of former prime minister Sanna Marin and her husband Markus Räikkönen has been finalised.

Earlier in May 2023, they decided to divorce each other.

They made the announcement of divorce on Instagram separately through posting a picture of themselves.

In a joint statement they, however, said that they would remain best friends and would spend time together as a family with their daughter.

Urging to respect their privacy, the couple said that they would not make any more comment in this regard.

Marin and Räikkönen, a businessman and former footballer of Tampere based club Tampereen Pallo-Veikot (TPV) have been in relation for the last 19 years. They married in August, 2020.
