In 1914, Stalin, circa age 35, had a relationship with Lidia Pereprygina, then 14-years-old, who subsequently fell pregnant with Stalin's child. Circa December 1914, Pereprygia gave birth to Stalin's child, although the infant died soon after. In 1916, Lidia – now 15-years-old – was pregnant again. \She gave birth to a son, named Alexander
, in around April 1917. Stalin, then absent, later came to know of the child's existence but showed no apparent interest in him.
