Jack Nicholson Denies Hiding Illegitmate, Handicapped Child

An unauthorized biography of Jack Nicholson, titled ‘Five Easy Decades’ and releasing this October, claims that, in addition to the six children he is known to have, Jack also has a handicapped son who he has kept hidden.

The book claims,

“There are two other possibles whom those closest to Jack whisper about, including one young man who lives with handicaps brought on by his actress mother’s drug abuse . . . These are among the closely held secrets he has generally succeeded in keeping from his fans.”

For his part, Jack is denying this shocking claim. His lawyer, Abe Somer, tells Page Six,

“The allegations of the handicapped son are false and inaccurate. There is no handicapped son of Mr. Nicholson.” He declined to comment on McDougal’s allegation of a second unknown love child, adding, “Let’s respect his privacy.” Somer also said Nicholson has four, not five, illegitimate kids.

Author Dennis McDougal says his information “comes from a very good source, but she … would not let me use her name.”

Jack’s children were born as follows:

His first child, Jennifer, was born during his six-year marriage to actress Sandra Knight.

After a fling with his ‘Five Easy Pieces’ co-star, Susan Anspach, Jack had a son named Caleb in 1970. Caleb was later adopted by ‘Lost in Space’ star Mark Goddard, who married Anspach four years later.

Jack had a daughter with a former Monkey Bar waitress, Jennine Gourin, and according to McDougal, bought her silence with a settlement “rumored to be in the mid-six-figures.”

Lorraine, 16, and Raymond, 15, were born to Jack’s ex-girlfriend, actress Rebecca Broussard.

Jack has admitted to sleeping with lots and lots of women, once stating, “I’m interested in sex. I’m preoccupied with sex. I love it.” He also revealed his dislike for condoms, saying using them was like wearing a “warm garbage bag.”
