The original Survivor, Richard Hatch, admitted that he was a sperm donor, fathering up to 200 children.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Hatch became a sperm donor years ago in order to pay his way through college.
The Survivor winner allegedly donated his sperm at the Cryobank in Fairfax, VA for $30 per donation, going back hundreds of times. "I did it for two years, about two or three times a week."
Hatch was recently connected with two of the children whom he fathered. Emily Kidd and Devin O'Neill, both 24, both contacted him through a Donor Sibling Registry website. While Kidd didn't know her biological father growing up, she recalls watching him on television. "I didn't remember much from when I was 11, but I do remember the naked man and the hype of it," she said of his time on the first season of Survivor.
Hatch lives in Newport, RI with his husband Emiliano and his adopted 15-year-old son. He is working on getting to know O'Neill and Kidd. ABC News reports that Hatch and his new-found biological children spent Christmas together.
Will more long-lost children come up from the cracks now? And how many?
