Heath Ledger’s former lover denies existence of a love child
With rumors rampant that Heath Ledger may have had a teenaged love child, the woman in question and her husband have spoken out.
“I’m not answering anything,” she told UK newspaper The Daily Mail (names redacted to protect privacy). “I think it’s very, very rude that I’m being posed all of this. I really do. I can’t talk about anything.”
“You have no proof, there’s no background, there’s no grounds, there’s no nothing,” she continued.
Her husband supported her assertions: “The whole thing with [Ledger being the father] is no. No way. No can be.”
Reports Ledger fathered the now 11-year-old girl came from the actor’s estranged uncle, who spoke to Australian media.
Ledger — who died of a prescription drug overdose in January at the age of 28 — had a fling with a 25-year-old woman when he was 17. The woman learned she was pregnant after their relationship ended.
“We knew it would flare up and that is the point of my talking and the simple thing is we will do a DNA test,” her husband told the Daily Mail.
“I’m the step-dad, but there’s nothing to hide… and if I asked [the mother] I’m sure that she wouldn’t mind [to have a DNA test],” he added.
