Walker, the Georgia Republican Senate candidate, has rejected reports alleging that he encouraged and paid for a woman’s 2009 abortion and later fathered a son with her.

But in an update on the scandal, The Daily Beast said on Friday afternoon the woman had “finally heard” from Blanchard, who married the former University of Georgia football star in 2021.

In texts reportedly shared between the mystery mom and Blanchard, she complained it was “cruel” that Walker allegedly “continues to claim he doesn’t know me or the abortion he paid for”.

She added that Walker had “brought all of this on himself” by denouncing abortion and making “a mockery of his children who have done nothing to deserve this, shame on him”.

The woman also grilled Blanchard’s knowledge of her situation.

'INCREDIBLY SAD'

But Blanchard reportedly replied that her claims made her “incredibly sad,” as she had “continually tried to bridge a better relationship” between Walker and the woman.

Her husband had “prayed every day” for the mom and her son, Blanchard said, adding that he was “sad” about a lack of “response” despite a bid to “be more than financial support”.

The incredulous mom replied: “Are you kidding me?”

DEVOTED WIFE

Despite being married to a high-profile celebrity, Blanchard has been able to keep the majority of her private life out of the media - until now.

It has been reported that Walker and Blanchard had been together for over a decade before tying the knot in May 2021 - her age and occupation remain unknown.

While Blanchard doesn't have public social media accounts of her own, Walker shared photos of him and Julie at campaign events and family gatherings throughout August and September 2021.

Blanchard and Walker do not have any children together.

Walker, however, has three sons and one daughter.

'I LOVE MY KIDS'

According to The Daily Beast, "The second of Walker’s previously undisclosed sons was born to a woman living in Texas and is now 13 years old.

"Walker’s other son is 10, and Christian Walker, who has played a major role in Herschel’s political efforts and public persona" is now 23.

“I have four children. Three sons and a daughter. They’re not ‘undisclosed’ — they’re my kids. I support them all and love them all,” Walker said in a statement to the outlet.

“I’ve never denied my children, I confirmed this when I was appointed to the President’s Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition, I just chose not to use them as props to win a political campaign.

"What parent would want their child involved in garbage, gutter politics like this?”

CELEBRITY SCANDAL

Walker's bid for the Senate has been rocked by the scandal, as the conservative faces accusations of hypocrisy about his Christian values.

After the former NFL star, 60, was recently accused of having secret children from extramarital affairs, he blamed the stories on "desperate" Democrats.

Walker last week denied the allegations and threatened to sue The Daily Beast after it revealed the shocking claims.

He told reporters: “This abortion thing is false. It’s a lie.”

The controversy comes as Walker is in a tight contest with Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.

The outcome potentially determines which party controls the Senate for the final two years of US President Joe Biden’s term.
