An exclusive report in the New York Post reveals that Mets’ right-hander Bartolo Colon has a double life that includes two children he had with another woman, Alexandra Santos, who’s asking Colon to pay millions in child support and accusing him of being a deadbeat dad.
From the Post:
Colon — who has earned more than $100 million in his career — sired the children with the Washington Heights woman while he was also playing the dutiful family man with wife Rosanna and their four sons.
The MLB star has never publicly acknowledged the 7-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son he had with Santos, who filed suit a year ago demanding child support.
“Mr. Colon obviously is a very talented baseball player and he earns a significant income, and we believe that his children should share in the lifestyle they would have enjoyed had their parents remained together,” Santos’ attorney Evan Schein told The Post.
According to the report, Bartolo Colon’s wife, Rosanna, is aware of her husband’s case, saying:
“I can’t talk about that,” Rosanna said in Spanish. “This is personal and not something I want to talk about.”
Court papers with details of the dispute are sealed, but records show Santos is asking a judge to force Colon to pay her legal bills and that both parties signed a confidentiality agreement in April.
There has been no statement from Bartolo, his attorney, or the Mets on this matter. The timing of this is somewhat suspicious. Remember these are allegations filed in a lawsuit, nothing more.
