He has a daughter that he apparently doesn't want the world to know about

Although she has never been seen in public or photographed, Kim and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, have a daughter named Kim Ju Ae.

Heavy.com reports that Kim's daughter is believed to be about 4 or 5 years old. However, neither Kim or Ri have publicly confirmed that they have had any children.

However, National Basketball Association legend and Kim's friend Dennis Rodman, who travels to North Korea every so often to hang out with Kim, confirmed the existence of Kim's daughter and even revealed her name in an interview with The Guardian in 2013.

"I held their baby Ju Ae and spoke with Ms. Ri as well," Rodman said in describing a trip to Pyongyang he had recently taken. "He's a good dad and has a beautiful family. Kim told me, 'I'll see you in December.'"
