Heath Ledger’s family believes the late actor may have fathered a secret love child with an older Australian woman. Ledger was a 17-year-old schoolboy when he had an affair with the woman, who was living with someone else. He discovered she was pregnant after their relationship ended.

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 other child. If true, this child would be around 11 years old today.

As mentioned in my previous post, I expect there to be a major battle over his estate for the next two years. I think later in the year, more will be revealed on the possible mishandling of his estate.
