In a 2013 interview with Complex, Gates made the following suggestion about his paternity:

“I’ve got some kids. They and I are quite close. I cuddle, hold, and love on them while I’m lying in bed with them. Saying [how many children I have] actually makes no sense. Not in a negative manner, but it’s unlikely that the general public will ever meet my kids, and even if they do, they won’t recognize them as my.”
