Kim Jong-un has been busy rattling his sabers and launching missiles, and in between has managed to father a third child, showing he loves more than just nukes.
The North Korean dictator reportedly welcomed the baby back in February with his wife Ri Sol Ju, CNN reported.
Kim Byung-kee, a member of South Korea's Democratic Party, said lawmakers were made aware of the news on Monday.
"The gender of their new child is unknown," Byung-kee said.
The fact that South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) is just now learning about Jong-un's most recent child shouldn't come as much of a surprise given how little people know about his family as a whole.
(Makes you wonder if the U.S. already knew he was a brand new papa during all the back and forth over nuclear armageddon.)
"Kim's first child is a son and the second child is a daughter," Opposition lawmaker Yi Wan-yong said, but that's about all people know other than the fact that the first child was born in 2010 and the second in 2013.
"The NIS told us (Monday) about Ri Sol Ju giving birth to the third child because this implies she remains an influential figure in North Korea," Yi said.
The public first learned the name of Jong-un's daughter in 2013 after former NBA star Dennis Rodman traveled to North Korea.
During his visit, Rodman revealed that the baby's name was Ju Ae.
"I held their baby Ju Ae and spoke with Ms. Ri as well," he said, adding that Kim was "a good dad."
News of Kim's new child comes months after his wife disappeared from the public eye at the latter part of 2016, according to The Independent.
When this happened, it raised speculation about the dictator's marriage.
Kim Jong-un and his wife have been married since 2009.
