Herschel Walker Says He's a Model Dad. He Has a Secret Son.

For years, former football star turned Republican senatorial candidate Herschel Walker has expressed an enormous pride and love for his adult son, while taking a principled stand against fatherless households and deadbeat dads—specifically in the Black community.

What Walker hasn’t publicly acknowledged is that he has a second son, who has apparently been estranged from his biological father since his birth a decade ago.

The son, whose name The Daily Beast is withholding out of privacy concerns, has grown up more than 1,500 miles from Walker’s Texas home. And the mother, whose name we are also withholding for privacy reasons, had to take Walker to court a year after giving birth in order to secure a declaration of paternity and child support.

The Daily Beast confirmed these events through public posts, a court document where Walker is declared to be the child’s father, and a person close to the boy’s family with direct knowledge of the events.

4. This bit of news just makes me sad for the ignored son.

Sure, Herschel Walker is a blooming idiot, but he's the kids dad and it's got to hurt to be ignored as the unwanted son.

10. Walker's doing that so-called Ignored son a favor.

Look at the MESS that is this Walker Family.

Nothing but crooks, liars, the son that's gay is extremely homophobic, he's a thief, dumb as a cedar block and I didn't even mention Walker himself in those descriptions yet. I don't know how Walker's wife got away with voting in Georgia but didn't live there. She was let off the hook. Had she been a Dem.

8. Meanwhile, his son Christian, last week...

"Leave the Children out of it" is what Repubs cry when their hypocrisies are highlighted. And Dems do.
