they all have their kids appear in the show, it is entirely possible that the backbender had kids of his own who are just never mentioned (or that people don’t wanna talk about)
There used to be a theory floating around (that's been thoroughly debunked, but I like it anyway) that Varrick is Sokka's kid. Both are brilliant inventors and tacticians from the water tribe, both have a lady companion who is vastly more competent and smitten with them for reasons unknowable.
Another theory that was persistent was that Sokka was Su Yin's father, which I never liked because I didn't think Sokka would ever be absent from her life.
I like the Varrick one better though.
Edit: I never hated the theory, I just thought it felt a little forced and I also really like Suki and her relationship with Sokka.
I'm sure that's how it would have to be, but it would still disappoint me for Sokka to have had a kid he never knew about. Plus that would imply either Sokka and Suki broke up or she died young, and I love Suki.
We all love Suki, but realistically, spending your life with your first or even second love is incredibly rare. Katara and Aang's marriage is an exception that proves the rule. How many of us can say we stayed with our high school sweetheart for decades? I'm sure there will be a few happily-ever-afters in the fandom, but the only real world example I've ever seen are my grandparents.
In the comics, Suki and Sokka seem to be drifting apart. Her identity as a Kyoshi Warrior will always come first, being Sokka's paramour is an afterthought. Most of their reunions in the comics consist of him being overly affectionate and clingy, and she's just like "Dude, I'm working."
