Heath Ledger Fathered Love Child? Sun, 30 March 2008
Members of Heath Ledger’s family claim he may have secretly fathered a love child.
Australia’s Daily Telegraph reports the Aussie star was a 17-year-old schoolboy when he had an affair with an older woman.
The mother - in a relationship with another man at the time - is thought to have only learned she was pregnant after the affair with Heath ended.
Heath’s uncle, Haydn Ledger, yesterday confirmed there was a “real possibility” his nephew had fathered a girl with the woman.
If it’s confirmed that Heath was the girl’s biological father, it could split his multi-million-dollar fortune between his two-year-old daughter Matilda Rose, his former partner Michelle Williams, and his secret love child.
Michelle Williams: Matilda & Me Time! Mon, 17 March 2008
Michelle Williams keeps a watchful eye on photographers as she takes a stroll around New York City on Sunday afternoon with daughter Matilda Rose, 2.
The 27-year-old actress recently gave an interview in the April 2008 issue of Elle. Here’s what she had to say:
On Matilda being her greatest treasure: When I have too much free time, that’s when things start to get a little messy. [Tears pool in eyes, then she smiles.] Matilda’s the prize. She’s bigger to me than any relationship, bigger than the awards. She’s what came out of it.”
On Matilda being a Brooklyn baby: “She’s such a New York kid. That’s what she’s thinking about: going home. Every morning we go to the coffee shop. She’s ready to go back and get her bagel, and I’m ready to get a really good cup of coffee.”
On the shock of hearing that Katie Holmes was dating Tom Cruise back in 2005: “I was shocked. [My actress pal Busy Philipps] called and said, “You’re never going to believe who Katie’s with now.” And I’m like, “Who?” And she said, “Who’s the biggest movie star you can think of?” I said — this is embarrassing — ‘Tom Selleck?!’”
Heath Ledger’s Family Responds Wed, 06 February 2008
Heath Ledger’s father, Kim, just released a statement on behalf of the Ledger family in response to the Medical Examiner’s findings:
“We remain humble as parents and a family, among millions of people worldwide who may have suffered the tragic loss of a child. Few can understand the hollow, wrenching, and enduring agony parents silently suffer when a child predeceases them. Today’s results put an end to speculation, but our son’s beautiful spirit and enduring memory will forever remain in our hearts. While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath’s accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage.
“Our family enjoyed an extremely happy two week visit with Heath just prior to the New Year. Those recent precious days will stay with us forever. We as a family feel privileged to have some of his amazing magic moments captured in film. To most of the world Heath was an actor of immeasurable talent and promise. To those who knew him personally, Heath was a consummate artist whose passions also included photography, music, chess and directing. We knew Heath as a loving father, as our devoted son, and as a loyal and generous brother and friend.
“We treasure our beautiful granddaughter Matilda (to our dear Michelle) as well as an unbelievably wonderful network of close friends, forever, around the world. Families rarely experience the uplifting, warm and massive outpouring of grief and support as have we, from every corner of the planet. This has deeply and profoundly touched our hearts and lives. We are eternally grateful.
“At this moment we respectfully request the worldwide media allow us time to grieve privately, without the intrusions associated with press and photography.”

Michelle Williams: Please Respect Our Privacy Fri, 01 February 2008
Michelle Williams has given her first statement since the death of her former companion Heath Ledger.
In a statement released by Heath’s rep, Michelle said, “Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him.”
