“They had an affair, and she had a baby,” said a source. “Everything was on the down-low and secretive.”
Marino released the following statement yesterday.
“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.”
Marino is still married to his wife Claire and insists that their marriage is still intact.
“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.”
