Did Jeffrey Epstein have a secret child?
According to the former Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, he does.
In an email exchange with the convicted sex trafficker after his 2011 prison release, Ferguson congratulated Epstein on the birth of a “baby boy,” offering him “love, friendship and congratulations” upon hearing the news from “The Duke”, a reference to her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the U.K. Telegraph reported.
The email was sent on Sept. 21, 2011, from “F” (possibly a reference to her nickname, Fergie).
“Dont know if you are still on this bbm (BlackBerry Messenger) but heard from The Duke that you have had a baby boy,” Ferguson wrote.
“Even though you never kept in touch, I still am here with love, friendship and congratualtions (sic) on your baby boy. Sarah xx”
In a second email, Ferguson complained that Epstein had “disappeared” from her life, while accusing him of using her to get to her ex-hubby.
“You have disappeared. I did not even know you were having a baby. It was sooooo crystal clear to me that you were only friends with me to get to Andrew. And that really hurt me deeeply [sic]. More than you will know,” she wrote.
It’s not confirmed whether Epstein fathered any children, despite allegedly having sex with hundreds of women. His last known girlfriend was Karyna Shuliak, who was set to inherit his wealth and properties before his will was changed prior to his prison death in 2019, the Telegraph reported.

Ferguson’s name in latest batch of Epstein files
The two email messages from Ferguson are among the more than three million documents in the latest batch of the Epstein files released Friday by the U.S. Justice Department.Also released with the documents were 180,000 images and 2,000 videos.
Ferguson’s name appears several times in the documents.
In one instance, it appeared the ex-Duchess of York offered Epstein and his pals VIP tours of Buckingham Palace. Ferguson reached out to Epstein after he was released from prison following his serving time for his 2009 child sex trafficking conviction.
The documents also showed Epstein’s relationship with the former Prince Andrew continued until at least 2017, seven years after Mountbatten-Windsor claimed to have cut contact with him.
Many have claimed to be Epstein’s children
While Epstein never openly admitted to fathering children, more than 100 people have claimed to be his kin while trying to get a piece of the sex deviant’s financial pie, per the Telegraph.
In another document released last Friday, a woman claimed to have spawned a daughter with Epstein via a “beautiful fertility ritual.” The Justice Department has stated that the Epstein files have a number of “untrue and sensationalist” accusations.
