Dotcom, 48, is still fighting an extradition process with the US Supreme Court a decade after heavily armed anti-terrorism specialists raided his $30 million mansion in Coatesville, Auckland, in 2012.
Dotcom founded the file-sharing platform Megaupload and has been in copyright legal battles for over a decade.
Today, Kim and Liz Dotcom live in a sprawling home in Queenstown. Liz is 21 years Kim’s junior.
The baby announcement was made on Dotcom’s Twitter account earlier this year with a photo of the couple together with the Queenstown alps in the background. Beside it was an ultrasound image of the baby.
“Baby on the way. It’s a boy,” the infamous personality wrote.
He posted a second ultrasound image below the initial Twitter post with the caption: “When I told him he’s a Dotcom he gave me a thumbs up in the ultrasound.”

He shares twin girls, his fourth and fifth children, with ex-wife Mona Verga, whom he married in 2009 and divorced in 2014.
Kim Dotcom married Elizabeth Donnelly on January 20, 2018 - the anniversary date of the raid during which he was arrested in 2012.
The arrests were on behalf of the FBI, which was carrying out a worldwide operation targeting Megaupload. At the time, activity on the site comprised 4 per cent of the globe’s internet traffic.
Even though Dotcom was facing claims of criminal copyright violation - something later found to not be a crime in New Zealand - the police used the heavily armed anti-terrorist Special Tactics Group in a helicopter assault on his Coatesville mansion.
He faces decades in jail if successfully extradited to the United States and convicted on copyright, money laundering and other charges.
