Arnold Isn’t The Only One: 10 Celebrities Who Fathered Illegitimate Children

Eddie Murphy

It has been reported that Eddie Murphy was making an effort to bond with his illegitimate daughter whose mother is former ‘Spice Girl’ Melanie Brown.

Eddie had previously denied paternity of Mel B’s daughter despite a paternity test which proved he was indeed the father.

Murphy had stated that he wanted no contact with the child until she was 18 years old.

Sen. John Edwards

Not only did Senator John Edwards have an affair while his wife Elizabeth was battling cancer, but he also fathered a child with his mistress Rielle Hunter.

The former presidential candidate not only denied paternity, but he also made his campaign aide Andrew Young take the blame for Hunter’s pregnancy.

Months after a DNA test confirmed that Edwards was the father of Hunter’s baby, he released a statement publicly acknowledging the child as his own.

Julius Erving

One of the  NBA’s premier superstars in the late 70’s/early 80’s, but when he wasn’t scoring on the court, he was busy scoring in the bedroom.

During one of these encounters, with reporter Samantha Stevenson, he accidentally fathered a baby girl.

When she asked him why he wasn’t using a condom, he just responded with, “Trust me, I’m a Doctor!”

Sisqó

Earlier this year, R&B singer Sisqó was ordered to pay monthly child support by a Swiss court. In 1999, the R&B singer had a one-night stand with an underage Swiss teenage girl, whom he met in a club.

The Swiss woman, now 25, says she’s confronted Sisqó several times in person and on social networks about taking a paternity test, but he refuses to acknowledge that he is the father of her child.

Since Courts in Switzerland deem a man responsible for a child if he continuously refuses a paternity test, Sisqó will now have to pay child support.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson’s affair with slave Sally Hemings has been both well known and well documented.

Jefferson fathered many children with Hemings, making him the  forefather of later politicians like Strom Thurmond, John Edwards and the sperminator to do the same.

Although Jefferson never publicly acknowledged the children, they were apparently well looked after and were eventually freed by Jefferson.

Mathew Knowles

Last year Beyoncé’s father/manager was hit with a paternity suit claiming he fathered actress Alexsandra Wright’s child while he was still married to Beyoncé’s mother Tina.

Friend’s of Wright say that she filed the suit because she was terrified Mathew Knowles would end their relationship when he learned about the pregnancy.

Earlier this year, a DNA test confirmed that Knowles was the father and he was ordered by the court to pay over $8,000 in child support.

Evander Holyfield

Holyfied allegedly is the father of eleven children by multiple women.

His recent financial problems seem to be the result of all the child support he has to pay to different mothers.

A mother of one of his illegitimate children recently filed a suit claiming Holyfield failed to pay several months of child support.

Oscar De La Hoya

De La Hoya has used his charm and good looks to impregnate several different women, including Shanna Moakler.

Oscar has five kids by four different women.

It’s been reported that he may even have more unknown children.

Lil Wayne

Last year, Lil Wayne had two children by two different women.

Actress Lauren London gave birth to Wayne’s son in September of last year and then two months later, R&B singer Nivea gave birth to the rap superstar’s fourth child.

Wayne also has a child with his ex-wife Toya Carter who stars in the BET reality show ‘The Tiny & Toya Show.

God

A couple of thousand years ago, God laid his eyes on a young housewife named Mary.

Nine months later, a little baby boy emerged. God split and left Mary’s husband, a carpenter named Joe, to take care of the baby, which they named Jesus.
