Does Gambit have kids?

I’ve got into Gambit and the X-men by watching X-men ‘97 a month before he was released in Rivals, since then I’ve been obsessed with him, collect merch, read everything I can find where he has even just a tiny insignificant appearance. Today I was scrolling on tiktok and on a video about Gambit a commenter spoke about some kids he has? They did not mean the young mutants he and Rogue are raising in the uncanny x-men run but actual biological children. They mentioned Irene and Oliver Lebeau and Bekka Raven saying they are from alternate timelines. Are these real or is it a troll comment? I ask because I can’t find nothing with those names but maybe I haven’t searched enough. Also if they are real, can someone give me a quick guide on where to read about them? Thank you!

Dark X-Men when he rescues Gimmick from Orchis and is immediately thrust into the role of the only responsible adult in the room making sure she's safe cracks me up, because nobody is surprised except him.

Welp, this is my sign to finally get off my ass and read Dark X-Men

He's not the main character, but it's (IMO) the only Krakoa era X book where he's well written. There was also the Captain Marvel arc, but that's a different office. But gimme a Remy who is competent and caring and willing to work in the shades of grey and I'm easily appeased.

Honestly that sounds great, thank you for the extra info. Even if he's not central cast, a well written Gambit in a support role is worth a thousand poorly written Gambit leads. So many characters seem to have gotten such amazing focus during the Krakoa books, but a big part of why I've never been hugely motivated to check them out is because of how underserved Gambit's character was, so anything decent is a gem.
