Jason Whittle is the alleged son of Patrick Swayze, the famous American actor, dancer, and singer. He is a former American football guard born on 7th March 1975 and is currently 49 years old.

Jason Whittle came into the limelight following the death of his alleged father Patrick Swayze. With a career that spanned over three decades, Swayze was a well-placed name in the American entertainment industry. Meanwhile, until his death, he and his wife of over three decades did not have any children together. So, how come about Jason? Let’s find out.

How Old is Jason Whittle?

Jason Whittle is presently 49 years old. He was born on the 7th day of March 1975 in Springfield, Missouri, in the United States of America. He is a citizen of America, but his ethnicity is not known. Given his date of birth, his sun sign is Pisces. There is little or no information about Jason’s early life and upbringing.

Is Jason Really Patrick Swayze’s Son?

Paternity scandal has today become more or less a common thing, especially among celebrities. Some people have subjected their children to DNA tests just to ascertain their paternity. Jason’s alleged father, Patrick Swayze, was married to his wife Lisa Niemi, in June 1975. They met in 1970 and dated for five years before exchanging marital vows.

The couple lived together as husband and wife for 34 years until death took Swayze away on the 14th of September 2009; he died of cardiorespiratory arrest and pancreatic cancer.

Until his death and within their 34 years of marriage, Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi never had any biological children, did not adopt any child, and significantly, they never discussed it publicly or in the media.

So, no one has a clue of the reason behind their not having a child together. However, records show that Lisa had suffered a miscarriage sometime in the early years of their marriage.

Meanwhile, a couple of years after Patrick Swayze had passed on, several reports surfaced from various online publications that he fathered a child when he was 20 years old, just before he got married to his wife.

And the child is a son named Jason, whom he had with a woman identified as Bonnie Kay. As the story goes, Swayze had Jason during his casanova years in Houston, Texas, in a one-night stand. Meanwhile, just like Patrick, Bonnie Kay has also passed away. She reportedly died in 2012 after a brief struggle with cancer. Nothing more is known about Jason’s biological mother, Bonnie Kay.

Did Jason Whittle Meet Patrick Swayze?

From indications, Jason Whittle never met his alleged father, as he was already dead at the time he was revealed to be his son. Questions have since been emerging about where he had been all the while Swayze was alive. According to the former football guard, it was only on his mother’s deathbed that she revealed to him that Swayze was his father and that Patrick himself never knew he had a son. So, there is no relationship of any sort between them as they never met.

Meanwhile, records claim that Jason Whittle had gone for a DNA test to prove to the public that he is the actor’s son. But, as of writing this article, there has been no public revelation of the DNA test result. So, as a matter of fact, there is no proof of Jason Whittle being the biological son of Patric Swayze.

Many people, on sharing their opinion and views about the matter, have maintained that this is just clout and drama to get wealth from the late actor. It is also reported that Jason had come out to claim inheritance over Patrick Swayze’s properties and wealth and that Swayze’s wife Niemi was against him, although she hasn’t come out publicly to say anything in this regard.

To date, none of the popular and most reliable media organizations have published any report on this, making most people believe that the story is not true. Also, because Patrick Swayze is dead, as well as Jason’s mother, there seem to be no other reliable means to confirm these claims.
