Kiril Tenekedjiev was born to Ivan Kirilov Tenekedjiev (a mechanical engineer), and Tatiana Museevna Tenekedjieva (a French language high school teacher). He has a younger sister, [[Dessy Tenekedjieva]], who has a career in acting, singing and movie producing. |
|||
Kiril's upbringing was entrusted to his grandparents on his father's side, whom Kiril loved tremendously and lives with the dear memory of them till present day. His grandfather, Kiril Georgiev Tenekedjiev, was a very respected medical doctor in Varna, Bulgaria and Kiril was named after him. Kiril's grandmother, Dimitrichka Tenekedjieva (originally, Dimitra, but loved being called "Dimitrichka"), was an exceptional erudite and worked as a high-school teacher while raising her two sons. She was a graduate of a French lyceum. She was extremely methodical in shaping Kiril as a hard working, ambitious, organized and determined individual. |

Starting his two-year military service in 1979, prior to university, he retired from active sports. His coach in water polo played a huge role in shaping Kiril's personality and understanding of life. |
|||
While studying at the First Language High School<ref>http://www.1eg.eu/English/index.html</ref> (English profile) in Varna, he also participated in school theater performances, and showed very good artistic skills. At the end of his teen years, he switched his focus from sports to mathematics, having a natural talent and inclination to mathematics since primary school. While not active in sports nowadays, Kiril is a fan of [[association football|football]] and [[basketball]]. In 2007, while in a specialization under the Fulbright Visiting Scholarship program, he had the chance to again exercise his passion for water polo, this time while coaching the SUNY at Binghamton's team in water polo. He is a die-hard [https://www.liverpoolfc.com/ Liverpool Football Club] fan, and also a passionate supporter of several other European soccer teams. |
