On July 25<sup>th</sup>, 2012; North Korean state media reported for the first time that Jong-un is married to Ri Sol-ju (리설주). Sol-ju, who appears to be in her early 20s, had been accompanying Jong-un to public appearances for several weeks prior to the announcements.

The BBC, quoting an analyst who spoke to ''The Korea Times'' of South Korea, reported that [[Kim Jong-il|Jong-il]] had hastily arranged his son's marriage after suffering a stroke in 2008. The two would have married in 2009 and Sol-ju gave birth to a baby girl named Kim Ju-ae in early 2013.

Jong-un has two half-brothers (one of which was assassinated by Un's orders via VX nerve agent in Malaysia) and an older and younger full-brother (see below). He also has a younger sister named Kim Yo-jong, who was believed to be about 23 in 2012. She sometimes accompanies him and now is director of the Workers Party's Propaganda and Agitation Department.
