'Love-child's' mother speaks out
Thursday 03 April 2008
We told you on Monday that Heath Ledger’s uncle was spreading rumours that the actor had a secret 11-year-old love child that stood to inherit some of his fortune.
Well now the mother and father of the child in question have spoken out about their anger and confusion over the claims. The unnamed woman told The Daily Mail: 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.”
Her husband also seemed outraged by the claims adding: "The whole thing with [Ledger being the father] is no. No way. No can be.
"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."
Heath supposedly had a fling with a 25-year-old woman when he was 17 and the woman learned she was pregnant after their relationship ended according to Heath’s estranged uncle.
