Jung Woo-sung: The Korean Ronaldo? No Marriage, Yes Children, and Hollywood Comparisons

Jung Woo-sung has recently made headlines with surprising news of an 'extramarital birth,' prompting a look back at similar cases among Hollywood stars.

British actor Hugh Grant is known for having five children out of wedlock. His first child, daughter Tabitha, was born in 2011 with Chinese actress Tinglan Hong. In September 2012, he welcomed son John Mungo with Anna Eberstein, and in December of the following year, he had another son, Felix, with Tinglan Hong.

Grant maintained a de facto relationship with Eberstein, and in December 2015, they welcomed their fourth child, daughter Lulu. After Eberstein gave birth to their daughter Blue in March 2018, Grant finally tied the knot, marrying at the age of 58 after having five children.

Actor Al Pacino has never been officially married but has four children. His first daughter, Julie, was born in 1989 with acting coach Jan Tarrant. In 2001, he had twins, daughter Olivia and son Anton, with actress Beverly D'Angelo.

In June 2023, Pacino became a father again at the age of 83, welcoming a son with his much younger partner, Noor Alfallah. Initially skeptical about the paternity due to medical issues that he believed would prevent him from fathering a child, a DNA test confirmed he was indeed the father. However, just three months after the birth, Pacino chose to separate from Alfallah, who filed legal documents for custody of their son, Roman. Pacino agreed to pay $30,000 monthly in child support and secured visitation rights.

Nicolas Cage and Christina Fulton began dating in 1988 and welcomed their son, Weston, in 1990 without ever marrying. Fulton later retired from acting to raise their child. Cage's first marriage was to Patricia Arquette in 1995, but they divorced after six years. He has since had multiple marriages and divorces, including with Lisa Marie Presley, Alice Kim, and Erika Koike. In 2021, he married 30 years his junior, Riko Shibata, and they welcomed a daughter the following year.

Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo had a son, Cristiano Jr., during his relationship with Irina Shayk, although the details surrounding the child's birth and his mother remain unclear. A paternity test confirmed Ronaldo as the father, and he has since been raising his son to follow in his footsteps as a soccer player. Ronaldo also welcomed two more children, daughters Eva Maria Dos Santos and Mateo Ronaldo, through surrogacy, and currently has two daughters with his fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez.
