Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov and his partner Juli Vavilova recently revealed that they learned Juli was pregnant amid the Telegram founder's brief detainment by French authorities, and the couple believes the stress from the ensuing investigation caused a miscarriage on October 4, 2024.
"Sitting in a Parisian café, I took the test. The result was in French: 'Enceinte 3+.' I ran back upstairs to translate. The shock on my face when it said 'Pregnant.' I felt helpless, unable to run to Pavel with the happy news, as he was still unreachable."
On the advice of her doctor, the social media influencer refrained from immediately responding to law enforcement requests for questioning due to the immense stress it would cause during such an early stage of pregnancy. However, Vavilova eventually submitted herself to law enforcement for questioning several weeks later.
The couple spent the next month adjusting to the pregnancy news — a process Durov's companion characterized as a time of uncertainty, adjustment, and happiness.
