The partner of Julian Assange, who gave birth to his two children while he was living inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, has issued a plea for him to be released from prison.
The friendship developed, and despite the"extraordinary circumstances", a close relationship began in 2015, she said.
The newspaper published the report alongside photographs of Mr Assange with the toddlers and an interview with Ms Robertson who said they"fell in love" and were planning to marry.The couple have been engaged since 2017, according to the paper, which said it learned about the revelations in court papers seen last week.
"My close relationship with Julian has been the opposite of how he is viewed, of reserve, respect for each other and attempts to shield each other from some of the nightmares that have surrounded our lives together." The extradition hearing is fixed for May 18 after a court rejected calls for an adjournment until September after his legal team said there were"insuperable" difficulties preparing his case because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
