London (CNN) The partner of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has revealed the couple had two children while he was living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

In a video posted online and shared by WikiLeaks -- on the one year anniversary of his arrest -- Stella Moris said she and Assange met in 2011 when she was brought onto his legal team.

"I'd been in the embassy almost every single day and got to know Julian very well and in 2015 we got together," she said. "We fell in love. This is a person that I knew well by then. The person I know the most in the world. He's extraordinary, he's generous, and he's very tender and loving."

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange prepares to speak from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy on February 5, 2016 in London, England.

She said they now have two sons -- Max and Gabriel. Moris is part of the international legal team working for Assange, she is not involved in the current extradition case.
