housekeepers to having affairs with hundreds of women the celebs of the golden age did the unthinkable interestingly some of these secret Affairs led to the birth of loved children most of which they attempted to keep hidden from the public but as you know the truth always finds its way out here are some love children who were birth through secret Affairs and brief relationships Jonathan Berkeley some know Tom Jones as that respected judge on The Voice UK with a seasoned voice While others know him by his accomplishments in the industry the Welch singer is no doubt one of the most phenomenal singers Hollywood has ever produced with a career that has spanned decades the singer was known to have a string of top 10 hits in the 1960s and has successfully sold over 100 million records over the years years while his accomplishments are undoubtedly impressive there is a side of Tom Jones's life that most people find daunting beyond the fame and his many accomplishments as a singer Joan spent most of his early years in Hollywood doing things that a married man should not be seen doing his many affairs with several women left his wife brokenhearted and one of the Affairs resulted in a son Jonathan Berkeley Tom Jones married High School love Linda trenchard in the 1950s before his career took off although they were madly in love with each other nothing prepared them for the challenges that would unfold in their marriage the first few years of their marriage seemed normal until Jones became a successful singer and the rumors about his infidelity began to circulate interestingly Tom Jones didn't deny the rumors as he claimed to have had affairs with over 250 women in a single year when his career was at its peak it seems like his Fame came with a lot of attention from women and he was unable to control himself the singer even had affairs with famous American women some of whom he named later on in life his deeds left his wife devastated and soon enough he got into an affair that came with consequences while the singer was on tour in the US he began an affair with a model named Katherine Berkeley he probably thought it was going to be like one of his numerous Affairs but soon enough Katherine Berkeley got pregnant when he was informed about the pregnancy he denied it claiming that he didn't get her pregnant despite his refusal to take responsibility Catherine was convinced that he was the father of her child Tom Jones continued to ignore her as he believed that she was lying against him cine Berkeley would later take the matter to court and after a legal battle Tom Jones was ordered to take a DNA test in 1989 after the test the Court ruled that Jones was the father of the boy the court also ordered him to pay child support of $3,000 a month for the child's upkeep but despite the Court's verdict Jones continued to deny the boy until until 2008 when he finally admitted that he was the father of the boy however he said that he was coerced into the affair claiming that Katherine Berkeley deceived him in a later interview he said it wasn't something I had planned I was tricked really I just fell for it I just fell for the seduction it is said that he doesn't have a parental relationship with his son who is now in his 30s Eric preminger a vow of [Music] silence back in the 1940s Gypsy Rose Lee was a name that was known all over Hollywood for many reasons one of these reasons was the fact that she had an affair with a famous producer which led to the birth of a love child named Eric but before her life got complicated she was a young woman who liked to live life on the edge Gypsy wasn't just an actress and playwright she had gone ahead to carve her own path through her famous strip teas act Gypsy considered herself to be an Exotic stripper and she usually found ways to make her act more interesting she was also famous for her onstage wit and stripping style she would go on to become one of the most famous stars of Minsky's burlesque but dancing was not all she did in the 1930s she was focused on growing her acting career but only got to appear in five films although she was highly ambitious she didn't get much success on screen so she decided to relocate to New York City with plans to hone her skills and hopefully improve her career on getting there she got into an affair with the then famous famous Producer Mike Todd it was said that Mike Todd was married to berth a freshman at the time the affair would later lead to collaboration as the pair co-produced the 1942 Musical review star and garter it was during this period that she met Williams Alexander Kirkland Kirkland was a leading man in Hollywood particularly during the early sound era in the early years of his career he worked as a freelance writer and was said to be one of the writers who contributed to some popular National magazines he garnered most of his Fame through his acting career appearing as a leading in tarnished lady and entertaining his audiences through movies like social register he was still Making Waves as an actor when he met Gypsy the pair got married in 1942 but their Union didn't last long while Gypsy was married to Kirkland she got into an affair with the then famous film producer Otto preminger it was said that Otto preminger's marriage to his wife Marian was shaky at the time he was still married but living like a bachelor when he and Gypsy got into an affair they intended to keep it a secret but their affair didn't stay hidden for long when Gypsy got pregnant she knew she had to find a way to hide what she had done so that her husband would not find out so when Otto preminger offered to take care of the child she refused his silence was far more valuable to her than any amount of money he was offering so she elicited a vow of silence pleading with premer to keep the secret between them when she gave birth to the child she named him Eric Kirk kland and her husband believed he was the father of the child however the truth eventually came out and this led to the end of her marriage to Kirkland Damien Charles Hurley in the early 1980s 18-year-old Steve Bing was given an inheritance that automatically made him wealthier than most celebrities at the time he inherited over 600 million from his grandfather who was a real estate developer and went on to become one of the most successful film producers in Hollywood in the following years but despite all the wealth he amassed he rejected a son that he fathered with an actress claiming that he was not the father of the child although he was wealthy Bing was the kind of man who only channeled his resources to Ventures and things that he considered important or profitable and when it came to his personal life many people questioned his personal choices in the entertainment industry he made waves through his company Shangri law entertainment he is also said to have invested in the successful animated film called The Polar Express Bing also produced films like last man standing and it was clear that made smart investment choices in the industry however when he was not being a finance year or working as a producer in the industry he was settling his personal issues of all the scandals that circulated about the producer denying the paternity of his child was the most shocking in 2001 the producer got into a relationship with actress Elizabeth Hurley and this this relationship led to her getting pregnant from every indication Bing wanted nothing to do with the child so he told Elizabeth to terminate the pregnancy the actress refused and decided to keep the baby hoping that Bing would come around when the baby was born Bing denied paternity claiming that he and Elizabeth had an 18-month long relationship that was not exclusive he believed that she was not faithful to him while they were dating so he doubted that the child was his Elizabeth was sure that Bing was the father of her child so she decided to do a DNA test to prove that he was the father of her son Damen Charles Hurley interestingly the test proved that Bing was indeed the father of the child and this was when the producer decided to pay child support he offered to pay €100,000 every year till the child turned 18 years old but to his greatest surprise Elizabeth refused his offer she claimed that her and her son were doing just fine and that they didn't need his money she also revealed that she was deeply hurt by the fact that Bing claimed that she had other lovers while they were dating she also expressed the fact that Daman her son was her greatest blessing and that he made her life brighter and More Beautiful when asked the reason why she turned down the offer she said I have always made it perfectly clear to Steven Bing the father of my son Damen that I don't want any financial help from him whatsoever Ruth Clapton a blessing in disguise [Music] it all started when Eric Clapton fell madly in love

that he wanted her to himself in the mid 1970s it was said that Patty boy divorced her husband and married Eric Clapton although this seemed like a dream come true for Eric Clapton he soon began to do things that didn't reflect how much he claimed to love Patty Boyd in the course of their marriage Clapton's alcohol addiction got the best of him and he became a shadow of himself as a result of this he treated Patty badly and was said to have been involved in multiple Affairs sadly while he was doing all this he and Patty were struggling to have children despite trying IVF all their efforts were unsuccessful and Patty had several miscarriages in the early 1980s Clapton would begin yet another affair but this time it led to a pregnancy the affair began when he was recording behind the sun he met and began a relationship with a lady named Ivonne Kelly who was the manager of a studio at the time shortly after she got pregnant and had their daughter Ruth Clapton in 1985 because they were
