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.

    The guy is Dead.
    Let me simplify that, DEAD = not comming back. NOT ALIVE.
    so why dont you people leave the man and his family in one peace.
    Who really cares about the stories now?
    His not alive so we can judge him.
    We are not supposed to judge in the first place.
    Give the guy a break. Some people are really inconsiderate. gosh!

    Who Cares…..

    Heath was a Free Spirit, and we all like a bit of gossip.

    Heath Probely didn't even know and i imagine someone has made a few bucks out of the story.

    RIP Heath

    It's not even this woman claiming the child is Heath's, it's his uncle. Bloody hell, can't his own family even have some respect and let him rest in peace.

    she has right on a part of the heritage, she IS his child, wheter you like it or not. what is happining here is nothing ilegal or even greedy from the mothers part, the guy died and the girl has her rights.

    and what do you all mean? when you say ¨let heath rest in peace¨, hello..? he is already dead and well resting.

    now let the people who he left behind sort out there things. it´s normal you know.

    Personally, I hope it's true. Heath was so beautiful, so talented and so unique that it would be a blessing for this planet to have more kids running around carrying his DNA. I wish that he and Michelle could have had at least two more children together–they did such a great job with Matilda. That little girl is an angel on Earth.

    NO WAY!

    It's so unfair that they're talking about this NOW that he's dead… Where was the mother of this girl when he was alive? This is shit… She emerged to see if she can get some money and attention of course. Aghh, I hate these people!

    Btw, Heath's uncles are shit as well!!! :@

    Let him rest in peace! :( (f)
