Epstein Files Ignite Wild Rumors About His Secret Child

The latest dump of three million Jeffrey Epstein documents has sent the internet spiraling into a frenzy, inspiring some of the wildest conspiracy theories yet about who the disgraced financier may have secretly fathered.

There’s no confirmation that Epstein ever had children. But deep in the DOJ’s massive release are hints that he may have kept potential offspring hidden — including a heartbreaking diary entry from a victim who says she gave birth to a baby girl around 2002, when she was just 16 or 17. She wrote that the infant was taken from her minutes after delivery. Her entry reads: “I miss the person I was before I was made into what feels like a human incubator.”

Adding more fuel, an email from Sarah Ferguson surfaced congratulating Epstein on the birth of a “baby boy” after his 2011 release from jail. She claimed she heard the news from her ex-husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

With those breadcrumbs in the files, social media wasted no time jumping to conclusions. And by “conclusions,” we mean completely unhinged theories.

One viral claim insists New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani is Epstein’s “illegitimate son,” supported by AI-generated fake photos showing a baby Mamdani alongside Epstein, Bill Clinton, Jeff Bezos, and Ghislaine Maxwell at glamorous parties. None of it is real — but the images were convincing enough to rack up tens of millions of views.

Another rumor revived an older meme long claimed to be dead: that Epstein fathered the Island Boys, the viral twin rappers Alex and Franky Venegas. It started in 2023 when an AI artist posted an image of Epstein on Little Saint James surrounded by four young boys. The internet decided two of the kids looked like the Island Boys — again, with no evidence. Reuters and Italian fact-checkers later confirmed the entire image was AI-generated. The brothers themselves told TMZ they had never even met Epstein.

The DOJ’s release also included an email placing film director Mira Nair — Mamdani’s mother — at a Maxwell afterparty in 2009 attended by Bill Clinton and Jeff Bezos. That detail was enough for conspiracy theorists to start sewing together more fake family trees, complete with watermarked AI images.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s victims continue to bring forward claims of pregnancies, births, and babies taken from them — allegations that, if proven, could drastically reshape his legacy and raise questions about possible heirs to his $635 million estate. A genealogical company even launched a website after Epstein’s death, inviting potential children to come forward. More than 130 people claimed they might be his offspring.

Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, left his estate in a trust. More than $120 million has already been paid out to victims.

But the latest revelations — real and imagined — have revived old questions, ignited new theories, and unleashed another wave of viral misinformation that even AI can barely keep up with.
