Cape Town - Koos Kombuis fathered a child with singer and soapie star Sarah Theron, but only discovered the news last year.
And, he is very proud of her.
When Kaapse Son confronted him with the news, he first had a good laugh and then admitted that it "actually was true".
But I don't want to reveal the details yet," he added.
"It's not something that I'm ashamed of. I only found out about it a year ago. I have wanted to make it public, but she (his daughter) said she is not ready yet."
Kombuis said he and his "new" daughter did not want to announce the news with a "bang". They also did not want to make a fortune with the story.
Low profile
"I will say something from the stage one night at one of my shows - very low profile.
"She's not ready yet to be a Paris Hilton," he added jokingly.
Kombuis did not want to talk about his feelings when he first heard he had a daughter and whether he had any regrets about the lost time.
But he did reveal: "She is a very nice person. I'm very proud of her."
In an email he wrote: "As soon as I've got the cooperation of all the parties, we can chat. I don't want to go out on a limb. It's a family affair, after all. Maybe soon?"
Theron, a well-known singer and actress, confirmed everything.
"It's not a secret, but it's private. If you ask me for a recipe or how I feel about my work, I will gladly tell you."
Kombuis has two more children with his wife, Esmé and lives, as he describes it, in a "suburban house" in Somerset West.
