Celebrity affairs are sadly not out of the norm in good ol’ Hollywood. There are romances, divorces, and a fair share of affairs for one in every five celebrity couples (and I think I’m even being generous there). It’s a part of life, and a pretty big one in the world of celebrity culture. However, it’s almost old news when a new affair comes to light. But there’s one thing that still has everyone clutching their pearls: when the affair leads to parenthood.

That’s right: sometimes affairs lead to children, and that’s when it gets even messier. We’ve seen it in recent years with Tristan Thompson and Dave Grohl, but they’re definitely not the only ones. In fact, some even happened in Old Hollywood, with stars like Clark Gable. We know, it’s very messy.

In fact, we found a little over a dozen celebrity men who had children as a result of affairs they had; and trust us, it’s a bit of a bummer. 

Below, see which celebrity men had children due to affairs.
