Michael Gambon has had another child with his mistress.

The 68-year-old actor - who plays Albus Dumbledore in the 'Harry Potter' films - and his 43-year-old girlfriend Philippa Hart welcomed their second baby, William, into the world yesterday (21.06.09).

The star also has a 44-year-old son with his wife of 45 years Lady Anne.

delightful, but with a very short temper

Anne knows about his relationship with Philippa, and allows the actor to split his time between their marital home in Kent, Philippa's home, and a bachelor pad in London.

A family friend said: "Philippa gave birth at a London hospital without complications and little William is a beautiful bouncing baby. It is a very strange set of circumstances worthy of a film script in itself.

"Michael is open with his wife and she accepts the second relationship, though there have been rows in the past."

Philippa and Michael's first child - named Michael - was born in May 2007.

The actor visits his second family in Chiswick, south west London, "a few times a week".

His friends describe him as "delightful", but with a "very short temper".
