Telegram boss says he has fathered more than 100 children
The founder of the popular messaging app Telegram, Pavel Durov, has made a surprising revelation during a recent interview. Durov stated that he has fathered over 100 children through surrogate mothers. The interview took place at the headquarters of Telegram in Dubai, where Durov currently resides.
In the interview, Durov explained that he has always wanted to have a large family but was unable to do so in a traditional way due to his work commitments and lifestyle. He clarified that he is not involved in the upbringing of the children and has simply provided financial support for their well-being.
Durov’s announcement has sparked a mix of reactions from the public, with some praising his decision to become a father to so many children, while others have expressed concerns about the ethical implications of such a large-scale surrogacy arrangement.
When asked about his motives for sharing this information publicly, Durov stated that he wanted to be transparent about his personal life and hoped that his story would inspire others to consider alternative ways of starting a family.
It remains to be seen how this revelation will impact Durov’s public image and the reputation of Telegram, which has faced scrutiny in the past over privacy concerns and its use by various extremist groups.
