England and Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has somewhat of a bad boy reputation. The youngster has twice had assault charges filed against him by two different women, but he was acquitted in both cases. Last year he was the subject of many crazy internet rumours, particularly about the number of children he has fathered.

Despite being so young, there were some rumours alleging that the player has fathered at least three children with three different women, and that wasn’t even the most outlandish of the rumours.

Many claimed that the former Liverpool man had 7 or 8 children. However, the truth is that Sterling has only one child - his daughter, Melody Rose Sterling. Melody was born in 2012 when Raheem was involved in a brief relationship with a woman. The identity of her mother is currently unknown.
