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

    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????

    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.

    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?

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
