The Russian billionaire. 50, and his 36-year-old estranged wife have two children, a son, Aaron Alexander, born in 2009 and daughter, Leah Lou, born in 2013.
Both children were born in the USA and will live their with their mother in Manhattan while attending school in the city.
And while they may have been one of the richest couples in the world, the pair were dressed down in jeans and simple tops, with Dasha’s hair pinned at the sides.
According to Forbes 2017 billionaire list, Abramovich’s net worth is $9.2billion , making him the twelfth richest person in Russia, and the 139th richest person in the world.

Since the split, Dasha has spent time in the Hamptons with some of her socialite friends.
She was pictured at a birthday party for Karlie Kloss and Derek Blasberg attended by Gwyneth Paltrow.
Meanwhile Abramovich was pictured glumly being boated alone out to his yacht off France a few weeks ago.
Zhukova is Abramovich’s third wife. Born in Moscow, to a scientist mother and oil trader father, Zhukov moved to US with her mother at the age of 10 when her parents split up.
She attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, and graduated with honors with degrees in Slavic Studies and Literature.
The couple confirmed their split in a statement to the New York Post.

‘After 10 years together, the two of us have made the difficult decision to separate, but we remain close friends, parents and partners in the projects we developed together, stated the couple.
‘We are committed to jointly raising our two children.’
The statement went on to say: ‘We will also continue to work together as co-founders of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and the New Holland Island cultural center in Saint Petersburg.’
Zhukova met Abramovich in 2005 when he was married to his second wife Irina Vyacheslavovna Malandina, reportedly at a New Year party organised by her oil magnate father.
She was dating former Russian tennis star Marat Safin at the time. The power couple became officially linked in 2007 after Abramovich had divorced.

In February 2009 Zhukova, who previously owned her own fashion label Kova & T, was made editor of avant garde fashion magazine, POP.
However, she got everyone talking when she sensationally quit after just three issues.
Then in 2014 she caused uproar by posing for a photograph, in which the chair she sat in was formed from a black female mannequin, in online fashion publication Buro 24/7.
Both Zhukova and the publication were accused of racism and she later released a statement saying: ‘This photograph, which has been published completely out of context, is of an art work intended specifically as a commentary on gender and racial politics.
‘I utterly abhor racism and would like to apologize to those offended by my participation in this shoot.’
She now runs her own magazine Garage – as well as an arts center in Russia – which is part-funded by her husband.
