Late Actor Heath Ledger Has a Secret Child It has been more than two months since his death but late actor Heath Ledger is still making headlines. An uncle of the "Casanova" actor said that he may have fathered a secret child when he was involved with an older woman while he was only a seventeen-years-old school boy at Guildford Grammar, Australia.

Hadyn Ledger, the brother of Heath's dad Kim, claimed that his nephew might have impregnated a 25-year-old woman whose identity is not unleashed. Hadyn told News.com.au, "There is a very real possibility that Heath was the father." It is however, still a possibility for the woman found out that she was pregnant after they have split and she has lived with another man.

It was a girl baby who was raised by the woman and her boyfriend as their own child. At relatively the same time, another family source also told the site, "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."

Heath has one acknowledged daughter named Matilda Rose whom he fathered with ex-fiancee Michelle Williams. Should Heath is proved the biological father of the lovechild, then Matilda will have to share the inheritance in the form of estate with the unknown child.

Kim himself is not at good terms with his brother Hadyn after Kim was made the executor of their grandfather, Sir Frank Ledger's estate over 20 years ago. The family rift was opened up following the death of the actor on January 22 this year due to drug overdose.
