MEET THE MAN WITH 1000 KIDS

Mothers said they loved his long, curly blond hair, bright blue eyes and good teeth.

Some liked that he can play the guitar and has a lust for travel. Others felt a connection when they met the charismatic, intelligent and easy-to-talkto former teacher. All of them were grateful that Jonathan Jacob Meijer was willing to help them realize their dream of becoming a parent. Said one mom, echoing the sentiments of many: “He can really draw you in.”

Then they learned the truth about the serial sperm donor. Over 17 years, the Dutch musician and YouTube content creator in his 40s has fathered a shocking number of children around the world. According to the newly released Netflix docuseries The Man With 1000 Kids, it could be thousands in at least 22 countries. Jonathan, however, insisted in a recent video that through his private sperm bank donations, he’s a biological dad to about 550 children who were welcomed by an estimated 225 families, a number “loosely based on the fact that I helped most…with two children on average.”

And “in the last five years,” Jonathan claims, he’s “solely been a donor helping [conceive] siblings” and hasn’t worked with “new recipients.”
