Love affairs and children: Here are 8 celebrities whose hearts led them to unexpected fatherhood

In the glamorous world of celebrities, scandals are a staple. The pursuit of love can lead celebrities down uncharted paths, resulting in relationships and secret affairs that yield unexpected consequences. One of them that has time and again sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry is the revelation of love children. These secret offspring often come as surprises, both to the public and sometimes, even to the celebrities themselves. Here is a list of eight celebrities, ranging from A-list actors to chart-topping musicians, who have fathered love children, sometimes shrouded in mystery, and other times leading to heartwarming connections.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

While the 'Terminator' actor was married to his now ex-wife Maria Shriver, he had an affair with his family housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena. In 1997, he had a son with her, whom Mildred named Joseph Baena, and kept his connection to Arnold a secret. Schwarzenegger finally admitted to his wife that Joseph was his biological son in 2011, which led to his divorce. Arnold has four children with Shriver -- Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher. His relationship with Joseph has strengthened over time.

Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant had his first four children from two women over the course of four years. He had his first and third children, Tabitha and Felix, with Tinglan Hong, a restaurant hostess. Grant had his second, fourth, and fifth child born with television producer Anna Eberstein. The second child, John Mungo, whom Grant had with Eberstein, was born just three months ahead of his third son Felix whom he had with Hong.

Jude Law

Jude Law fathered a love child with American model Samantha Burke, whom he met at a New York nightclub in 2009. She gave birth to Sophia the following year, for whom Jude pays child support. Previously, Jude had three children, Rafferty, Iris, and Rudy, with his ex-wife Sadie Frost. He has since had a child named Ada with Catherine Harding, and two other children with his wife Phillipa Coan, whose names have not been revealed.

Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy separated from former Spice Girl Mel B in 2006. When Mel had a child, Angel Iris, in April 2007, Murphy initially refused to acknowledge that he was the father. He went so far as to state that without a blood test, he would not know whose child she was. Later, a DNA test confirmed Angel's paternity. Mel had later recalled on her reality television show that the custody battle had been a horrible time, but Murphy had since started spending time with his daughter.

Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris reportedly had a brief fling with Johanna while he was stationed with the US Air Force in California in 1962. Norris was married to Dianne Holechek at that time, but never revealed it to her. Johanna wrote to him in 1991, informing him that he was the father of her daughter Dina. In his book 'Against All Odds: My Story', Norris wrote that he did not need any DNA tests to confirm the paternity because when he met Dina, it was as though he had known her all his life.

P Diddy

Sean "P Diddy" Combs has seven children with four women, but only one was born of an affair. Combs had twin daughters with his girlfriend Kim Porter in 2006. Five months before the twins were due, he had another daughter named Chance with Sarah Chapman. Porter learned about the affair while she was pregnant with the twins. Combs has a healthy relationship with all his children, namely, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, twins D'Lila and Jessie, and Love Sean.

Chris Brown

In March 2015, Chris Brown was reported to have a 9-month-old daughter with former model and friend Nia Guzman-Amey. This led to his break-up with his then-girlfriend Karrueche Tran. Chris has a great relationship with his daughter and has dedicated songs to her. His sixth solo album is titled 'Royalty'. There have been child support and custody disputes, and a Californian judge denied Amey's request to retain full custody of her daughter.

Dwyane Wade

NBA star Dwyane Wade has recently revealed to his long-time partner Gabrielle Union that he has a child named Xavier Zechariah Wade with a woman named Aja Metoyer. He fathered the child when the couple was in a brief break in 2013. The revelation has put a strain on his relationship with Union, but the couple has managed to move forward.
