Heath Ledger's estranged uncle is now claiming Heath may have fathered a child when he was just a teenager.

The uncle claims 17-year-old Heath had a relationship with a 25-year-old woman. She found out she was pregnant after the pair had split, and went on to have a baby girl.

The woman was living with another man at this time, but Heath’s uncle says, “There is a very real possibility that Heath was the father.”

Heath Ledger, who died in January of an accidental drug overdose, is rumored to have considerable assets, though an exact amount has not been determined. You’d think that if the mother of that child wanted Heath or his money she would have spoke up on her own long ago.

Heath’s will put his father, Kim, and his sister in charge of his estate.

The same uncle claims that Kim is not qualified to handle Heath’s estate, going back 15 years to point to Kim’s failure to handle their grandfather’s $2 million estate. Kim was eventually removed as executor by a Supreme Court judge in this case.
