The couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance and married in a secret Islamic ceremony last year in Malaysia with a follow up wedding party in Moscow in November details off which were leaked to the Russian media.

At the time, the sultan was the Malaysian king and head of state.

Sources say they separated soon after the Moscow event by which time Oksana was pregnant with a son Leon, who was born on May 21 in Russia.

In January the Sultan suddenly abdicated the throne.

Her lawyers have denied there has been a divorce but the king's Singapore lawyer insisted she had been given details of the Sharia split.

It was finalised on July 1.

The lawyer Koh Tien Hua was also quoted as saying: 'There is no objective evidence as yet as to the biological father of the child.'

The glamorous Russian through friends said that she was ready for a DNA test to prove the child is the son the ex-king.

She wrote in English: 'A little bit more than three months ago, Leon was still living in my stomach.

'And now his weight is 6,750 grams and my hands get tired to carry him for a long time. Children grow and change very quickly. 

'Therefore, up to one year, there is a tradition to celebrate their birthdays every month.

Her son - called Leon - had been ill with an ear infection and doctors recently stopped the child from flying to join her family on holiday in Spain

'I believe that in such moments, parents should spend as much time with their baby as possible so they don't miss such valuable moments as the first smile, the first laugh, the first word, the first steps.'

She also posted a video telling her followers: 'I would like to congratulate you with the sixty second anniversary of Independence Day of Malaysia!

'I wish Malaysia well-being, prosperity, stability and great future for your people. Keep being united nation and live in peace with each other.

'May Allah bless Malaysia!'

The couple's split followed reports in Moscow that Oskana had been a star in a lurid reality TV show.

The former king who remains an influential sultan in Malaysia has not spoken directly on his relationship with the Russian beauty queen.
