Pavel Durov, the founder of the popular Telegram messenger, has caused considerable resonance in the media and among the public, telling about his unknown personal life. It turns out that Durov is the father of more than a hundred biological children born with the help of extracorporeal fertilization (IVF).
Pavel Durov wrote about it on his official channel on Telegram, where he said that 15 years ago he handed semen into a clinic that specializes in artificial insemination. According to Durov, his frozen semen is still available for anonymous use of families who want to have children.
“My decision to submit sperm was motivated by the desire to help those who could not become parents on their own. I did not imagine that it would lead to such a large number of children, ”he said in his message.
Pavel Durov also emphasized that, despite his numerous offspring, he is not married and prefers to live alone. Telegram founder noted that his personal life and the choice of staying alone do not change his attitude to paternity and assistance to other people.
“My lifestyle and my personal preferences do not affect my decision to help others. I am glad that I was able to be part of these lives, ”Durov added.
