employee in 2005

Dan Marino is famous for his touchdowns — but the Hall of Famer’s scoring off the
field is downright shocking.

The married gridiron great — a pregame analyst for CBS since 2003 who will be
doing this Sunday’s Super Bowl broadcast — sired a love child with a network
underling and then paid her millions to keep quiet, sources have exclusively told
The Post.

The ex-Miami Dolphin QB — who has long had an image as one of pro sports’ most
squeaky-clean guys — knocked up Donna Savattere, a then-35-year-old
production assistant at CBS Sports’ Manhattan studio.

She gave birth to their daughter, Chloe, in June 2005.
“They had an affair, and she had a baby,” said a source. “Everything was on the
down-low and secretive.” News of the affair and child comes as Marino is set to work Sunday’s big “Super
Bowl Today” telecast.

He and other former NFL greats, such as Boomer Esiason and Shannon Sharpe,
will jaw about the big game for hours before the 6:30 p.m. kickoff between the
Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. The revelation could make for some
awkward moments during the long broadcast, which starts at 2 p.m.
Marino yesterday admitted to his dalliance.

“This is a personal and private matter. I take full responsibility both personally and
financially for my actions now as I did then,” he told The Post in a written

statement. “We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all
parties involved.”

New York Post Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino had an affair with a CBS
employee and later paid the woman millions of dollars to support their
daughter, sources say.

At the time of the affair and Chloe’s birth, Marino was married to his wife of 20
years, Claire, with whom he had six kids, including four sons and two adopted
daughters.

The birth of baby Chloe came about two months before Marino’s Hall of Fame
induction — at which his son Daniel made what danmarino.com called “a moving
tribute to his father.”

Marino insisted that his marriage is still intact, despite the affair.
“My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children
together,” he wrote yesterday — which happened to be his 28th wedding
anniversary.“And we continue to be a strong and loving family.”

Marino agreed to pay Savattere millions to care for Chloe, sources say, and she
moved to Texas as part of the deal. It’s not clear exactly how much Marino paid. But after getting the dough, Savattere
apparently started living large.She soon returned to New York from the Lone Star State, splitting her time
between the Upper West Side and the Hamptons, where she became a fixture on
the social scene. She was even snapped by society photographers such as Patrick McMullan and
New York Social Diary.

The source said that Marino, 51, has been in touch with his now-7-year-old
daughter.“They would have impromptu meetings, which was part of the deal,” a source said.
“Donna was always saying she had to go meet with her lawyers to go over the
scheduling and other issues A source said that Savaterre confided to close pals that the father was Marino and

showed them photographs of her and the quarterback together at restaurants and
clubs.

She later married Nahill Younis, whom she met in the Bahamas in 2009.
She also petitioned to change the name of her and Marino’s daughter from Chloe
Alexis Savattere to Chloe Alexis Younis, according to records.
A wedding announcement for the couple on a Hamptons Web site says: “Donna
was already a mother when Nahill met her, and Donna’s daughter quickly became
an important part of his life.”

She and Younis have since had a child together.

Donna was previously married to a New Jersey state trooper, a source said. But
that source added that the marriage ended before the brief fling with Marino began.
Reps for Younis declined to comment.

In addition to his Super Bowl appearance this weekend, Marino will be featured in
an ESPN documentary this spring.

You need to move on, bro. So, a guy running a Ponzi scheme buys items at a charity auction being put on by the Dan Marino foundation and that makes Marino a bad guy?

No playing for the Dolphins does -- But in retrospect I agree. Who Cares?

[JOJOTOWNSELL]

dudes a phony

http://gossipextra.c...child-cbs-2239/
Marino, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, spent decades shaping his image of a doting family man involved in children’s charities.
The former QB was so conscious about his public persona that Gossip Extra once watched him make frequent trips to the bar at a Miami Heat game for glasses of wine that he wrapped in napkins to hide the booze.

[New York Mick]

Who gives a ****? He's taking care of them.

[sirlancemehlot]

meh. hope the kid's doing well. other than that, its someone else's life. none of my business.

[JOJOTOWNSELL]

lol i love how when its rex's tattoo/foot fetish or brady's love child all the haters come out but when it comes to Saint Marino knocking up a random woman it is his private business and should be left out of the news......just LOL

[JetsFanInDenver]

[Jetsfan80]

He also kissed Louis Einhorn, who is a man.
