Telegram Founder Reveals Over 100 Biological Children

Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, revealed that he is the biological father of over 100 children across 12 countries due to his sperm donation activities initiated 15 years ago. He was inspired to donate after a friend, struggling with infertility, approached him for help. Durov shared that a clinic director encouraged him to continue donating due to a shortage of 'high-quality donor material' and emphasized the civic duty to assist couples in need. In a bid to help his biological children connect, he plans to open access to his DNA. While he prefers to keep his personal life private, it was recently disclosed that he has three children from a civil relationship with Irina Bolgar. Durov aims to destigmatize sperm donation and encourage more men to participate in helping families achieve parenthood.
