Heath Ledger may have fathered love child during schoolboy affair with married woman

HEATH Ledger's family believe the late actor may have fathered a secret love child.

Ledger was a 17-year-old schoolboy when he had an affair with an older woman who is thought to have only discovered she was pregnant after their relationship ended.

The woman was living with another man at the time of the alleged affair.

Yesterday, Ledger's uncle, Hadyn Ledger said: "There is a very real possibility that Heath was the father."

If it is confirmed that Ledger is the girl's biological father, it could split his multi-million dollar estate between his two-year-old daughter Matilda Rose with Hollywood actress Michelle Williams, and his secret love child.

Ledger, who died alone in his New York apartment in January from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, drew up his will before the birth of Matilda, on whom he doted.

The April 2003 will lists only $145,000 in assets and names the late actor's father, Kim, mother Sally Bell, sister Kate Ledger and half sisters Olivia Ledger and Ashleigh Bell as the only beneficiaries. The New York documents also acknowledge Matilda Rose, as Ledger's only known child, as an interested party.

Heath was still at school at Guildford Grammar when he began the affair with the woman, then aged 25.

Yesterday another family source said: "She had the baby. Everyone lived under the assumption that she was the daughter of the mother's boyfriend and that is how she has been brought up." The woman is now married with a young family.

Ledger's death has exposed the bitter rift in the family between father Kim and his estranged brothers, Haydn, Mike and Wayne.

The family feud began when Kim became executor of their grandfather, Sir Frank Ledger's estate over 20 years ago. He borrowed heavily against the $2 million estate, leaving it heavily in debt before he was removed as executor by the WA Supreme Court in 1994.

    Yay. Let the corpse fucking begin. Did anybody really think Heath would be allowed to rest in peace? The tabloids are vultures, and they won't stop until his corpse has been picked bare. Look at Anna Nicole Smith - how long has she been dead, and how often does she still rate mention in the tabs?

    why can't people just leave him alone. i mean he's dead can you serious let him r.i.p. it's ridiculous its sort of like how people wouldn't leave anna nicole smith alone either i mean jezz they can't really do anything about it so your going to believe what ever people tell you if so stupid.

    that's terrible. they really just need to leave his money alone. she only came out and said that to get money. why didn't she come out earlier? so that her child may have gotten to know him?

    Now she comes forward and says that he has a love child…Is that code for Gimme your money. LET HIM REST IN PEACE. I am sure Michele can support Matilda on her own but his family seems all to greedy these days. People need to let him rest in peace and its no ones business how much money he had

  62. Brittney says – reply to this


    62

    Holy frig, he's effing dead, and there is obviously money up for the STEALING so some skank that doesn't know who fathered her child is blaming a dead guy. For fucksakes

  63. lies says – reply to this


    63

    okay i find this article hard to believe because if in fact he is the father of this child, the article says he was 17 when health and the mother had sex. well, it also said that this girl now has a young family of her own and she is married. If health slept with the mom at 17 and he died before his 29th birthday then, how could this love child be married and have a family of her own at a mere 11 years old. odd????

    66

    Don't we all have skeletons in our closet?? Haven't we all made mistakes in the past?? Sheesh!!! Leave the man & his family alone. All you people must have really boring lives, pathetic.

    67

    He freaking died! His family is in pain! Do you think you should try to make money off of a freaking dead person! LEAVE HIM THE HELL ALONE when he died he was supposed to be let go in peace! Amazing how stupid the paparazzi can be making money off of this poor man suckish way to make money. What kind of person are you if you do this kind of CRAP for a living?

    RIP Heath!!!

    This woman should have told Heath about the child a long time ago. Her timing makes her look like a gold digger.

  75. Mabelline says – reply to this

    This has nothing to do with Heath. The man is dead. Why don't you plaster his dad's face all over this post instead. He's the guilty party.

  76. jessica says – reply to this


    76

    its just sad that this woman is just now coming out about this. Let the man rest in peace like everyone else is saying, dont try and run his name through the mud now that hes passed.

  77. He Made His OWN Bed says – reply to this


    77

    It's really hilarious when people say R.I.P. or ask everyone to leave him alone. All of the "messes" are of his own making. If this new one is also found to be true, it's the residue of his own life. Let the chips fall where they may.

  78. db says – reply to this


    78

    why is it his uncles dishing the dirt , on their own flesh and blood? do they really want to get back at their own brother that badly? Poor Heath, let him rest in peace. Obviously the woman didn't want it known if it is true otherwise she would have put her hand and story out by now

  79. eeeh says – reply to this


    79

    Why can he not rest in peace? If the child is his then fair do's, but if not then the people making these claims should be ashamed of themselves!
    Rest in Peace, Heath. :(

    What is wrong with people-they smell money and act like desperate hounds. I guess they never saw money before. This lady was never interestested in him seeing his kid if she waited untill he died.
    I hope Michelle Williams find a man, get married and he adopt the baby and cut that family out of her life.

    82

    You dumbasses kill me! We have people here "first BIOTCH" who are nowhere near first. And secondly, what is the big thrill of typing "FIRST!" anyway? You have nothing better to do than sit here waiting for a new post and trying to type out "First", first? Think of an intelligent comment while your waiting for a new post to try and tag as "FIRST", or 41st, or 11th or whatever you losers end up with.

  83. Cece says – reply to this


    83

    Has Heath's greedy father given Michelle any money yet? I doubt it. Michelle should really hire an attorney before Kim spends all the money. Heath is so irresponsible for not making sure his daughter is financially taken care of. He had plenty of time to party, do drugs and bang the Trollsen twins.

  86. Mary K says – reply to this


    86

    I know some of his family say it is possible but it sounds like another fame hungry person trying to cash in on Heaths death. Who knows she just might have his baby but I think they should have kep their mouths shut untill a DNA test proved it 100%. Then go public if you must. I don't know if I would have though who wants that kind of attention. The poor child has thought someone else was their father all this time why push the child into the spotlight now? I know the child has a right to know who their real father is but I just don't understand why the mother would come forward after he was dead…..why not sooner???

  87. Mary K says – reply to this


    87

    Re: lies – I think you missread the artical. The woman he slept with is now married and has a family. Not the supposed child.

  88. hey retards says – reply to this


    88

    The uncles are saying this, she has not come forward, she raised the child with another man, you guys live and breathe for this shit. get a life.

  89. Alexandra says – reply to this


    89

    So, this mother suddenly has a change of heart and decides to tell who is the real father of her child? Just another person trying to cash in a Heath's death along with his own family. These people have no shame whatsoever!

    91

    The article contradicts intself, it first says that she was a married woman and then it says that NOW she is married and with a young family…so back then she wasn´t really married but rather had a live-in boyfriend?…

    I dont know why all these actors have secret love childs…After Brad Renfro dies it was also revealved that he had a love child with a korean woman…all these Hollywood actors have hidden love child all over..Brad Pitt probably has a couple too..

    That's quite interesting since Heath graduated from Guildford a year early at the age of 16. He wasn't even at Guildford at 17. He had already moved to Sydney and started his acting career. Leave him alone.

  95. sofie says – reply to this


    95

    shit can they let that man rest in peace!! why the fuck didnt they discover that he had a second child while he was alive?? now that his money is left they discover they loved him soooo…..

  96. Heather says – reply to this


    96

    I think it is pretty clear that Heath's parents let him run completely wild and did not give the child any boundaries. That would eventually kill him. So sad. Such a wonderful, beautiful soul. Parents, take care of your kids.

  97. Anon says – reply to this


    97

    Heath was a very sexy man. I hope he left a bunch of kids scattered arounf five continents! LOL! I know one thing. His father is HIS father. His uncles and Michelle's father are just trying to reach for money they don't deserve and to exploit Heath bcz he is dead and can't fight back. They are pigs to be talking about him that way. Total pigs. Speculating about his private business. He would be disgusted Heath was a very private person. Did I say he was hot?
