It has been rumored that the late actor, Heath Ledger, may have a secret love child. When Ledger was 17, he reportedly had an affair with an older woman who was rumored to have been pregnant after their relationship ended. The woman was supposedly in a relationship with another man at the time of the alleged affair. On March 30, 2008, Ledger's uncle, Hadyn Ledger stated: "There is a very real possibility that Heath was the father." If it is indeed confirmed that Ledger is the biological father of this "secret love child", it could result in the child getting a share of his multi-million dollar estate along with his two year old daughter, Matilda Rose, his child with actress Michelle Williams. Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment on the afternoon of January 22, 2008 from an accidental drug overdose.
