WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s lawyer revealed earlier today that he secretly fathered two children with her while being held at the Ecuadorean embassy in London and dealing with his legal battles from the US.
According to the New York Post, Julian Assange,48, started a relationship with Stella Morris,36, in 2015 and had their first son Gabriel in 2017. Their second child, Max, was born last year and sources say the boys’ births were recorded on a GoPro camera and the footage was sent to Assange. Morris said they managed to keep their relationship a secret from Ecuadorian staff and diplomats.

Morris says she plans to marry Assange and is deeply in love with him:
“I love Julian deeply, and I am looking forward to marrying him,”

The couple was first introduced by Morris’s friend Jennifer Robinson and she says she first helped him with a rape case in 2010 in her native Sweden then developed a friendship.
“At the beginning, it was a working relationship. I was in the embassy every day and Julian became a friend. Over the years he went from being a person I enjoyed seeing to the man I wanted to see most in the world. His public image is not what I fell in love with, it’s the real person behind it,”
Assange is currently being held at a high-security prison in England and is currently being wanted in the US on espionage charges for leaking classified intelligence documents from the United States. Morris says she is fearful that she will never see her fiance alive due to the COVID-19 outbreak:
“I am now terrified I will not see him alive again. Julian has been fiercely protective of me and has done his best to shield me from the nightmares of his life. I have lived quietly and privately, raising Gabriel and Max on my own and longing for the day we could be together as a family. Now I have to speak out because I can see his life is on the brink.”
