Dan Marino had a lovechild with a co-worker at CBS Sports, but kept the affair secret from the network for seven years. The sportscaster and former star Miami Dolphins quarterback sired a daughter with production assistant Donna Savattere in 2005, then allegedly paid her millions of dollars to keep quiet, the New York Post reported last week. Marino told his wife about the affair and the child, but concealed it from CBS until the Post contacted him. The Marinos, who have six children, celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary last week. He has now admitted fathering the child, saying he’d taken “full responsibility both personally and financially.”
