Mistresses, Lies & More! Kate & Minnie’s Darkest Family Mysteries Exposed
March 13 2017, Updated 10:18 p.m. ET
Minnie Driver finally admitted that she was part of her father’s bastard family, RadarOnline.com has learned!
The 47-year-old actress appeared on Who Do You Think You Are? and confessed that she learned of her father Ronnie’s “split life” when she was a teenager.
The Good Will Hunting star revealed that she, her mom, and her sister Kate knew nothing about Ronnie or his side of the family — including that he had a wife, Annie, and daughter, Susan.
"My parents met in 1962 and they were together for 13 years,” she said on the show.
“They broke up when I was six and during that entire time he was married to someone else and had another family,” she explained. “I didn't know until I was about 12. My dad lived a very split life. We just did not talk about where he came from. He spoke very succinctly about his mum and his dad but I never met my grandparents or saw even a photograph of them together - I always wondered what they looked like.”
She also learned that he was previously married to a woman named Ada Wood Stancliffe and they had a son, Leslie Standcliffe. He also became an actor.
"It makes me wonder for my father, why he chose to keep everything so secret,” she said. “It would have been nice to talk to him about it all."
But, Minnie is known to keep secrets herself — and didn’t reveal anything about her baby daddy’s identity until her son was 3-years-old!
