Dan Marino announces secret daughter with CBS production assistant

Dan Marino retired from the Miami Dolphins in 1999 after 16 seasons in the NFL. Marino went on to become an analyst with CBS and in 2005 became a father for the seventh time. One small problem with that, Claire, his wife of 28 years and mother of six of his children wasn’t involved with the newest bundle of joy.

Per TMZ, Marino released a statement detailing his 2004 affair with a CBS production assistant, Donna Savattere.

“I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then. We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved.”

“My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together. And we continue to be a strong and loving family.”

Someone must have been planning to leak this information so Dan beat them to it with this announcement.
