Leyla Aliyeva (Azerbaijani: Leyla İlham qızı Əliyeva, born 3 July 1984) is the first daughter of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev. She is editor-in-chief of style magazine Baku, launched in London in 2011.
According to her personal website, Aliyeva was born in Moscow on 3 July 1985. British company records, however, give her date of birth one year earlier, 3 July 1984, noting that the individual's details have been authenticated.
From 2006 to 2008, Leyla Aliyeva pursued a master's degree at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO-MSIIR; also the alma mater of her father). She was the Chairwoman of the Azerbaijan Club at MGIMO until 2010.
In July 2011, the Taraggi (Progress) Medal was conferred upon Leyla Aliyeva for her contributions to the development of Azerbaijan–Russia relations.
Leyla Aliyeva is a mother of three children. Their names are Ali, Mickail and Amina.
In 2010 The Washington Post reported that Leyla along with her sister Arzu and brother Heydar own a real estate in Dubai that is worth about $75 million.
In May 2015 Aliyeva announced through Instagram that she had divorced Agalarov. Agalarov wrote: "We remain friends and continue to raise our children together".
Aliyeva is Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, a non-commercial organisation that carries out a mixture of charitable, cultural and political ambassadorial projects, presided over by Mehriban Aliyeva, the country's First Lady and her mother.
Since 10 May 2007, Leyla has headed the representative office of the Foundation in Russia. As part of these programmes, Leyla drives charitable initiatives, often with an emphasis on supporting underprivileged youths.
