‘He doesn't have a voice at present but I do. That's why I am using it.' After many years of protecting the privacy of her family with #Assange , Stella Morris has given a statement to court to support his bail and had to give up her anonymity to do so:

Julian Assange fathered two children inside Ecuadorian embassy

Stella Morris fell in love with Assange in 2015 and the couple became engaged two years later, before they had their first child, Gabriel (pictured). Second son Max was born in February 2019.
