Pavel Durov with His Partner Announce Miscarriage

Pavel Durov, the co-founder of Telegram, and his partner, Juli Vavilova, recently disclosed Juli’s miscarriage after his arrest in France.

Pavel Durov, the co-founder of Telegram, and his partner Juli Vavilova recently disclosed that they discovered Juli was pregnant during the brief detention of the Telegram founder by French authorities. The couple thinks that the stress resulting from the subsequent investigation was the cause of a miscarriage on October 4, 2024.

Vavilova initially became aware of the pregnancy on August 25, as indicated by a Telegram post. The moment Durov’s companion discovered the information was as follows:

“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.”

The social media influencer refrained from responding to law enforcement requests for questioning immediately on the advice of her doctor, as it would impose an immense amount of stress during the early stages of pregnancy. Nevertheless, Vavilova eventually submitted herself to law enforcement for questioning several weeks later.

The couple spent the subsequent month adjusting to the pregnancy news, which Durov’s companion described as a period of uncertainty, adjustment, and happiness.

Vavilova stated that she was already ten weeks pregnant when she learned that the baby’s heart had stopped beating on October 4, 2024. However, the stress resulting from Durov’s high-profile arrest and investigation was “too much for the little one.”

The detention of Pavel Durov by French authorities

On August 24, 2024, Durov was apprehended in France. Subsequently, reports emerged that French law enforcement officials had issued arrest warrants for Pavel Durov and his brother Nikolai in March 2024, months prior.

After four days of detention, the French authorities charged and released Pavel, the entrepreneur. The charges included collaboration in the dissemination of child pornography as a result of what French officials characterized as a lack of robust content moderation policies on the Telegram platform.

French President Emmanual Macron maintains that the arrest of Durov was not political and has denied inviting Durov to France or having prior knowledge of his entry into the country. These assertions have garnered significant criticism from the crypto community and free speech advocates.
