Some celebrity love children aren't exactly well-kept secrets.
Everyone knows that Liv Tyler was the passion product of Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler and
model Bebe Buell, and we all know about the formerly secret son Arnold Schwarzenegger
had with his housekeeper.
Still, there are a ton of other stars whose illegitimate tykes somehow flew under the
radar.
Here are some secret celebrity love children the public may not know about...
Mad mom
Only January Jones truly knows the identity of her child's father.
Her son Xander Dane Jones was born in 2011, and the former Mad Men star outright refused
to spill the details of his parentage, telling Edit magazine:
"It's just not something the public needs to know."
Jones added that the other reason she's keeping the name of her baby's daddy under wraps is
that she wants her son to find that info out from her and not Google.
There's speculation that Xander's dad may be a married man, with whispers suggesting
possibilities like X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn or celebrity chef Bobby Flay.
Others suspect Xander's dad may even be her ex-boyfriend Jason Sudeikis, whom she'd broken
up with around nine months before his birth.
But Jones hasn't confirmed any of the prime suspects to the public just yet.
Baby Roc
Hip-hop mogul Jay Z allegedly had a brief affair with a woman named Wanda Satterthwaite
in the early 1990s, way before Jay-Z became, well, Jay-Z.
Satterthwaite claims the rapper — born Shawn Carter — is the father of her adult son,
aspiring rapper Rymer Satterthwaite.
"And I want the world to know I support my son in his paternity suit with Shawn Carter."
However, Radar Online says that Jay Z has reportedly refused to take any paternity tests,
despite two separate civil suits from the Satterhwaite family.
Maybe Jay Z's daughter, Blue Ivy, with wife Beyoncé is keeping his hands full.
Good dad hunting
Actress Minnie Driver gave birth to son Henry in September 2008, but no one had a clue who
his father was for years...that is, until the star finally revealed the cute tot's papa
as television producer Timothy J. Lea in 2012, with whom she worked on The Riches.
Her revelation was served up with a hint of bitter tea, too, as she told the Daily Mail:
"I don't need to protect him any more.
He can fend for himself.
He's a grown-up…He's figuring it out…I mean, he hasn't been that involved; his choice.
But he is now."
About a boy
Hugh Grant might've starred in Four Weddings and a Funeral but the story of his life would
be titled No Weddings and Four Illegitimate Kids.
"I seem to have a lot of children suddenly.."
The Notting Hill star bounced back and forth between baby's mothers, fathering daughter
Tabitha with ex-girlfriend and restaurant hostess Tinglan Hong first in 2011, then welcoming
son John Mungo with Swedish television producer Anna Eberstein in 2012.
He then became dad to son Felix with Hong in 2013, and then welcomed another daughter
with Eberstein in 2015.
Clearly, his real love life is a lot more complicated than any of his iconic rom-com
movies.
"Well I'm not entirely sure how it did happen."
Alleyoops
Less than two weeks after announcing his engagement to now-wife Gabrielle Union, basketball star
Dwyane Wade confirmed reports that he fathered a child in 2013 with Aja Metoyer while he
and Union were reportedly on a break.
According to Hollywood Life, all is now well among Union, Wade, Metoyer, and baby Xavier
Zachariah Wade, and Union seems "happier than ever in her relationship."
Walker, Texas Father
Action hero Chuck Norris made the stunning revelation that he had fathered a love child
in his autobiography, Against All Odds: My Story.
Norris confessed that daughter Dina was the result of him cheating on his first wife in
1962.
He had no idea his little girl existed until she wrote him a letter in 1991.
Norris agreed to meet with Dina and her mom.
He explained in his book:
"I didn't need DNA or blood tests.
I went to her, wrapped my arms around her, and we both started crying.
At that moment, it was as if I had known her all my life."
Marriage crasher
Wedding Crashers star Owen Wilson has allegedly been known to crash a marriage, too.
The actor fathered a son named Finn Lindqvist Wilson in January 2014 with then-married personal
trainer Caroline Lindqvist.
Wilson also sired a son named Robert Ford Wilson in January 2011 with ex-girlfriend
Jade Duell.
The wolfdad
In what's probably the most random hookup in history, Benicio del Toro fathered a baby
girl with Kimberly Stewart — daughter of Rod Stewart and one-time Paris Hilton bestie.
Their daughter, Delilah, was reportedly the result of a fling, but her parents have maintained
a solid co-parenting relationship.
Stewart told The Daily Mail:
"Benicio's very involved; he and Delilah have a very special bond.
She definitely looks like her dad, but she has my legs and eye color."
Puff Daddy
Sean "Diddy" Combs was in a longterm relationship with baby mama Kim Porter for years.
That came to a screeching halt when news broke that he fathered a child with Atlanta-based
photographer Sarah Chapman.
According to People, Porter was pregnant with Combs' twin daughters, D'Lila Star and Jessie
James, when she learned about his love affair.
The twins were born in December 2006 and the other baby, a girl named Chance, was reportedly
born just five months earlier.
Fast and father-ess
While allegedly on a break from longtime girlfriend — and now wife — Eudoxie, rapper-actor
Ludacris hooked up with a woman named Tamika Fuller.
Their daughter, Cai Bella Bridges, was born in December 2013.
According to TMZ, Luda had custody of Cai as of March 2015, but Fuller was working to
renegotiate the agreement and play a larger role in her daughter's life, and things got
pretty ugly between the exes.
Baby Bush
Gavin Rossdale, the Bush frontman and former Mr. Gwen Stefani fathered a daughter with
ex Pearl Lowe in the 1980s, but he didn't know about it until 2004 when it was revealed
that he was actually the biological father of his goddaughter, Daisy Lowe.
Rossdale, Pearl, and Daisy all maintained a relationship, even if it was at the rumored
chagrin of then-wife Stefani, with whom he has three sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
Now that's a Tragic Kingdom.
