Ursela van der Leyen heeft zeven kinderen uit haar huwelijk met Heiko van der Leyen.
Zij handhaaft haar gezinsleven privé terwijl zij sinds 2019 voorzitter van de Europese Commissie is.
Von der Leyen rarely discusses her children publicly, keeping their identities and details largely out of official statements and media coverage. This deliberate separation between personal and professional spheres is consistent with her management of the Commission presidency.
As Commission President with an influence score of 69/100, von der Leyen oversees major EU policy initiatives including defense spending. Recent allocations include 1.24 billion euros to boost Ukraine's defence industry, reflecting her current focus on geopolitical stability rather than personal matters. EU debt projections reaching one trillion euros by 2027 demand her sustained attention on fiscal policy across member states.
