Patrick Swayze's Unknown Son

The July 31, 2017, issue of Globe magazine includes an article about an alleged secret son of Patrick Swayze.


The alleged son is Jason Whittle, who was born in 1973 and now is 44 years old. The following two pictures show, first, Whittle and, second, Swayze.

Whittle grew up not knowing he was Swayze's son. His mother, Bonnie Kay Whittle, was 15 years old when she allegedly had a one-night stand with 20-year-old Swayze in 1972. Bonnie Kay died of cancer in 2012, and the article seems to indicate that she informed Jason only a short time before she died.

Swayze died in 2009, so it seems likely that he never knew about Jason Whittle. If Swayze had known, then his estate lawyer surely would have advised him to give Jason Whittle at least a token $1 in the will to prevent him from challenging the will. Swayze left his entire estate to his wife Lisa and left nothing to his other Swayze relatives. Now Whittle is claiming a big part -- perhaps half -- of Swayze's estate, which is estimated to be $40 million.

The other Swayze relatives claim that Lisa used abusive methods to coerce Patrick to change his will seven weeks before his death to give everything to her. Globe reports that some of those stiffed relatives now feel gratified that Whittle might take much of the estate from Lisa.

======

I have a copy of Swayze's autobiography The Time of My Life, and I intend to write an article about it for this blog. The book says that in 1972 he was in a touring ice-skating show called Disney on Parade. That's how in 1972 he would have visited Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, where Bonnie Kay lived. Jason Whittle probably can prove that Disney on Parade was in that location exactly nine months before he was born.

The book includes the following passages about Swayze's experiences in 1972 (pages 30-32).
The dancers made $125 a week, which felt like a lot of money, especially since we all doubled, tripled, and quadrupled up in our living arrangements on the road. Most of the dancers were women, and of the few who were men, even fewer were straight men. So the opportunities for me in terms of finding women to date were just about endless.

Unfortunately, I still didn't know how to communicate with women, or anybody else. I just sounded like an egotistical ass whenever I talked, as I couldn't stop going on and on about myself. For one thing, my knee [injured in a high-school football game] kept blowing up after each performance, the joint swelling painfully due to the rigors of the show. .... It got so bad that I had to go to the hospital in every city to get the fluid drained from my knee. And the more knee trouble I had, the more I had to talk about it.

But after I had initially alienated just about everyone with my incessant blathering, people started realizing that I wasn't really egotistical, just insecure.
Apparently, Swayze was extraordinarily promiscuous during this 1972 tour. He hit on many girls who crossed his path and managed to seduce many of them.

Although Swayze was an extraordinarily handsome and talented young man, I think that he didn't study much in high school and felt intellectually inadequate. He was too busy with dance and athletics to read and study. I think that he often felt stupid in conversations with women in conversations about general knowledge -- history, current events and so forth.

In this regard, Swayze was quite similar to the character Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing in his relationship with intellectual Baby Houseman. His personal experience and feelings of intellectual inferiority enabled him to play the role so well.

I think that Swayze's insecurity was a major reason why in 1972 he involved himself with much younger girls, such as 15-year-old Bonnie Kay. He was intellectually inhibited by older, more sophisticated and sarcastic women.
I began dating one woman who was in the show, a good-looking blonde who had a party-queen reputation. She was a wild one, the kind of girl who liked trouble, and at first I was drawn to her dangerous air. Part of me just wanted to see if I could win her, but once I did, I realized she wasn't at all the kind of woman I was looking for. It sounds corny, but I really did believe in Snow White and Prince Charming -- I wanted to find a woman whom I could ride off into the sunset and share my life with.
While Swayze was touring in 1972, he maintained also a long-distance platonic relationship with Lisa Haapaniemi, a 16-year-old girl, a dance student in his mother's dance school in Houston, Texas.
I'm not sure I as even aware of it at the time, but subconsciously I was comparing all the women I met to Lisa.
Beyond sharing Patrick's love of dance, Lisa did not threaten him intellectually, because she was so young and was likewise a poor student.
Lisa was back in Houston having problems of her own. She'd been having a lot of trouble sleeping, and her insomnia eventually got so bad she had to drop out of high school. She'd always had trouble fitting in, and now, with the onset of a creeping depression, she felt even more alienated. This was the beginning of what she later called her "blue period".
Lisa argued with her parents and so came to live for two weeks with Patrick's mother, who was Lisa's dance teacher. During those two weeks, Patrick happened to come home from his tour for several days. Lisa and Patrick already knew each other from their participation in his mother's dance school.

dance school in the very early 1970s (photo from his autobiography)
During those two weeks, Patrick dated other girls but also became sexually involved with Lisa in his home.
My mom didn't know it, but the attraction between Lisa and me had been growing for some time. She had seemed indifferent to me all those months [of Disney on Parade], but it turned out she was interested in me, too -- she was just shy, and acting like she didn't care was her way of covering it up.

But during those two weeks when Lisa stayed with us, and and I took every opportunity to steal time together. When Mom was in the kitchen, we'd be behind the swinging door in the dining room, making out. After everyone n the house had gone to sleep, we'd sneak out to the living room and fool around on the couch.

We still weren't technically "dating", but, man, we couldn't get enough of each other.

In fact, I had been seeing other girls -- and the very day Lisa came to stay at our house I had a date with a girl named Mimi, which led to an uncomfortable moment. ... I'd asked Mimi out for that Saturday night, to go to the Houston Rodeo. When Lisa moved into our house that afternoon, Mom expected me to give her a ride to the rodeo too.  ....

To my embarrassment, Mimi kept tickling my ear and kissing me all the way to the rodeo, as Lisa sat silently. ...
Soon, however, Patrick settled down with Lisa. As far as the public knows, he ended this promiscuous period of his life. Patrick married Lisa in 1975 and they remained married until his death in 2009.

========

When 15-year-old Bonnie Kay happened to cross paths with 20-year-old Patrick Swayze in Missouri, their encounter might have had nothing to do with Disney on Parade. Perhaps she was a Candy Stripe volunteer at a hospital where he had fluid drained from his knee. Since he hit on girls everywhere and was becoming a pickup artist through frequent practice, he might have seduced Bonnie Kay in one day -- and she never even saw the Disney on Parade show. (This is just my idle speculation.)

Candy Stripe volunteers at a hospital.
Globe reports:
Her [Bonnie Kay's] mom, Lebetta Whittle, tells Globe, ... "She [Bonnie Kay] told me he [Patrick] wanted her to run away with him," Lebetta recalls. "But she was way too young and told him he could get in trouble for doing that. It was a short relationship, and she said she stayed there all night."
The fact that Bonnie Kay's mother has the last name Whittle indicates that Bonnie Kay never married.

When 15-year-old Bonnie Kay became pregnant in 1972, abortion still was illegal in Missouri. On January 22, 1973, the US Supreme Court ruled that abortion would henceforth be legal during at least the first three months of pregnancy. The Globe article does not specify Whittle's birthday, but it's likely that Bonnie Kay was a little more than three months pregnant on January 22, 1973. If so, then abortion remained illegal for her.

Although Bonnie Kay's fling with Swayze lasted only about one day, she did learn his identify. Her brother Ron told the Globe that she had Swayze's name and phone number written her arm when she came home from her night with him. At that time, though, Swayze was a nobody -- not worth the trouble of tracking him down to try to prove his paternity and collect child-support payments. Bonnie Kay kept Patrick's identify secret through the years, but sometimes was heard to remark that her seducer Patrick "was doing acting".

It's quite possible that she deliberately passed on any abortion possibilities anyway, because she considered an abortion to be a murder of a baby. That was an opinion to which many young women adhered even when they become unhappily pregnant -- and that still is true.

Many such young women who got pregnant dropped out of high school, gave birth, kept the child, and eventually married another man who adopted the child. The child was taught to respect that other man as the family's father. Such women considered such a difficult solution to their problem to be the moral solution.

The fact that Bonnie Kay kept the identity of Jason's biological father until perhaps her deathbed -- even though she knew that he was famous and rich Patrick Swayze -- suggests to me that she adhered stubbornly to some very strong moral convictions. It seems that she blamed herself for her foolish teenage fling and did not want to cause trouble for her own relationships or for the Swayzes' marriage.

======

The story of Jason Whittle is an ironic counter-point to the movie Dirty Dancing, which portrayed sexual flings and subsequent abortions positively -- and which made Patrick Swayze an international star. If Baby Houseman had become pregnant from her fling with Johnny Castle, she certainly would have obtained an abortion and continued on with her planned life, graduating from college and becoming a career woman.

In contrast, Bonnie Kay probably dropped out of high school and lived a lower-middle-class life as an unmarried mother -- or as a common-law wife to another high-school dropout. Even after she realized, many years later, that her son's biological father was the actor Patrick Swayze, she kept that secret to herself out of respect for her family.

Swayze did not became even moderately famous until 1985, when he starred in the televised historical drama North and South. By that time, Jason was already about 12 years old. When Swayze became a superstar from Dirty Dancing in 1987, Jason was already about 14 years old.

After Jason became an adult, he probably began to hear comments that he looked like the now famous actor Patrick Swayze. However, Jason might have suspected that his biological father was another man in the vicinity who had similar looks.

Jason would not have imagined any possibility that his mother ever crossed paths with Swayze -- much less ever had sex with him -- when she was a 15-year-old girl living with her parents in a Missouri town.

Decades would pass before the adult Jason would be able to sit down at a computer and google "Patrick Swayze" and instantly receive a wealth of information about Swayze's life. Before Google, Jason would not have been able to discover that Swayze was touring with Disney on Parade throughout the USA in 1972, when Jason was conceived.

======

Because Swayze died not knowing about this biological son, Swayze left his entire $40 million estate to his wife Lisa and did not even mention this unknown son in his will. Swayze did not explicitly exclude Jason from his estate.

Because Bonnie Kay did not inform Jason until after Swayze had died, Jason eventually might able to acquire as much as half of Swayze's $40 million estate.

In fact I cut his hair once while beginning my career at Starla & Co. in Osage Beach! Now this very well could be a true story.

    5. I think it would be wonderful if Patrick swayze had a son but awful if you never knew about it. I don't like to think that Patrick's wife abused him in anyway but if Jason is his son he's entitled to something I don't know that he's entitled to have. And I think his mother had a lot of integrity not contacting Patrick swayze all those years and it makes sense to me to wait until her. I need a days before telling Jason of his real father. I hope Jason is a nice person if he is Patrick swayze's biological son cuz irregardless of Patrick swayze's wild young life I think he was very likely a very nice person. Unfortunately the mistakes we make when we're Young sometimes our children pay for them not saying whether he is or whether he isn't cuz I don't know that takes DNA which fortunately we have nowadays

  2. Why can't people get facts before writing such stupid theories. These people you are bashing on are my family. You think cause we are from Missouri that we must be a bunch of loosers? Did you ever think that maybe Bonnie didn't tell Jason or Patrick is because she was saving her son from having to grow up with such lies and media people making his life hell? Jason is a good man, husband and father. If anyone deserves an inheritance it is him and his family. And I know they would do a lot of good with it. Get your facts straight before you go bashing on people you don't know.

    1. I agree, as another Whittle family member. I resent Bonnie being called "dopey," from someone who has no clue who she was, outside of her name. She was one of the sweetest people I ever knew. Humble and unassuming. Maybe they think only a dope would like Patrick Swayze! Ugh!

    2. Ppl bash on ppl they don't know because they are lacking things in their own lives. Try not to take it personal because I'm sure you have a wonderful family or else you wouldn't be standing up for them. The only opinions that matter are your own and Gods2😊

    3. and you people support him bc he is family bc you hope he gets the inheritance so you can mooch off him. hate to burst your bubble along with the fake ass plastic surgeon but Mr. Whittle more closely resembles Patrick's brother Don Swayze, not Patrick. Their eyes are a closer match, their nose, and their chins. So here's a wonderful idea: Why don't everyone just shut the hell up and mind uour business until the truth comes out. I believe you all will be unwittingly suprised at the outcome!!

    9. I don't think this is his son. People all over the world look like celebrities and this is a whole bunch of "maybe she met him then"....if I had a kid with someone and found out they were famous and had the ability to financially support and be there for the benefit of this child he laid down and made with me, I would have let him know.

      Delete
    10. You may have the Whittle family on your side as family is always on your side, but the problem lies with the mother. Regardless if she was trying not to shame the child, the father had the right to know that way it was his choosing to do something about it. If swayze knew he had a child I am pretty sure the child would have grown up completely different and Bonnie would have been cared for even if she was a Whittle. I have 2 children and he has nothing to do with them thats his choice and I take care of them and receive nothing from him because I want nothing. I make enough. So before you comment on everyone elses maybe you should understand where fathers are coming from when a mother doesnt cone out and tell them they dont have a child until after there dead and they want money from an estate. Looks like to me he just wants money.

      Delete
    11. Things were so different back then!!! It shouldn't matter to anyone, except for the child finding out about his father, I'm sure that Bonnie thought in her heart of hearts that she had done what was best for her child and self in that moment of time. What does it matter to anyone else nobody knows what kind of home life she had or how she was raised or her belifbe or anything. He does however deserve that right to find out if he was the son of Patrick and if so it's his business what he decides to do with that information and nobody else's.....

    12. Why would he deserve "all" of the estate over a woman who stuck with him, respected, loved & fully supported his career for 34 years? Why would he deserve anything at all from a father he didn't know about nor knew about him?! I think this is all made up bullshit and it is a slap to Lisa's face that it was ever congured up!

    13. I agree, Lisa does not deserve this. This crap story is a shame. So where is the DNA test after 2 years of posting this bullshit? Probably it proved no relation. There a lots of people all over the world who look like Buddy, so he has kids all over the world? This is ridiculous. So disrespectful to the woman he loved over 30 years. Lisa is a lovely person an they were a wonderful couple. So stop publishing all this crap.

    14. I watched the 'special' about Lisa Neimi & Patrick Swayze. I think Lisa was the horrible one! She never wanted to have kids with him. He wanted kids, but she was too damn selfish! And...it didn't take long after his death, for her to marry another RICH man, whom she had been seeing before Patrick died!

    1. I would guess that their story is untrue. They probably figure there's no way to teat DNA with Patrick dead. But even if it is true, why should theis man get money from Patrick's estate? Patrick wasn't a deadbeat dad. The mother made the choice to conceal the child. So giving the child half of Patrick's estate is ludicrous. Especially since he admits "knowing Patrick was his dad" for several years before Patrick's death. But he made no effort to connect with Patrick. It's disgraceful if you ask me.

    2. Trudy,
      Jason Whittle didn't find out about Patrick Swayze being his father until 2012 when his mother was dying. Patrick Swayze died in 2009. So Jason didn't even get a chance to try and connect with Patrick. I believe you must have misread the article.

  17. I find this annoying to even come across. First of all if this was private then why is it public now and second i seen the mother of this man say that Patrick was a nobody then so she didnt think it was important to track him down. Seriously? If any truth to this fame or not a child and father should be aware of one another. Sounds like money trick to me. If truth then congrats but doubt is highly on your side.

If it was out of mere curiosity...just to KNOW...Id wish him the best. Asking for nothing. THEN...I would be more inclined to say he deserved "something"...but it seems it's become about money...PS's wife got it all. They've been together forever. She dealt with A-Z with him. I hope that this is all B/S.

    1. Not the Sons fault and can understand apprehension for 5 years. I was afraid also. He has a right to his inheritance.

  32. Can't say he doesn't look like him. But as far as the inheritance, he had other children....he left the entire estate still to Lisa. I don't feel it would have been any different with him.

  34. I think he looks, a lot, like Patrick Swazy. And let's not forget, that this, probably, came as quite, a shock to Lisa, as to the rest of the world, looking on. And I do believe, had, Lisa & Patrick, known about him, before Patrick's, death, they eventually, would have welcomed him into, their family.

  36. He looks enough like him...I believe he IS Patrick's son. Too bad he never knew.

  37. Hard to not be curious though. The story was told, now we are told that the conclusion is 'none of our business'. Of course, that is true, it isn't. But that in no wise ends the curiosity.

  38. Quick enough to sell their story to the tabloids, not so quick to run back to the tabloids with the results. This was over a year ago surely they would no by now!!!

  39. For a dna test you need some hair or something of Patrick's. Perhaps Lisa denied giving something to do the test because she thinks this is all bullsh.... By the way, all that was left of his personal belongings was auctioned off on ebay.

  40. I had to stop reading part way through as it the article seemed to become a pro-abortion endorsement or argument. I am left stunned to think that somehow I am suppose to believe that it was so sad that this man's unwed teenage mother wasn't able to abort him because Roe/Wade wasn't in effect yet. I mean really, the author is saying someone should have died rather then be, like the author and the rest of us, allowed to have life and maybe even pass life on. I can't see how this one man's life makes pro-abortionists so intent on expressing ow much better his mother's life would have been if she had aborted him. It could have been worse, maybe she would have not had another child and had been left wanting children. You can say if he had been aborted then we wouldn't have known it was him who was the little sack of cells aborted. WTF? Didn't we all start out as a little sack of cells? If his mother hadn't had sex or had conception preventing sex then he would not or may never have existed. He as an individual, like you, like me, like this author, could only be us because of the individual egg and individual sperm that came together to create each of us, an individual and now 44 years later someone suggests that he should have been aborted? Blows my mind. Anyway, maybe one of Swayze's siblings or their children will do a test or have all ready done a test on one of the DNA websites. If I were this man, I would check it out.

    1. I guess I missed the part where someone said he should have been aborted. However, even though abortions weren't legal nationwide at the time, I know a woman who had one legally in NYC either in 1971.

    1. Lisa isn't "lying". She just doesn't believe that Jason is Patrick's son. Which she is wrong for saying that. DNA is the Only way to find out. And Yes it can be proven by one of Patrick's brothers giving his DNA. Maybe Jason wants/needs medical info from his bio Dad?. J/S..

  44. After seeing Jason Whittle's Facebook with another picture and the comments from Charlene Swayze, I am convinced it's his son. Wow. What a thing to find out. Too bad they never got to know each other.

    1. So then it seems to be clear now he is his son. But why didn't the tabloids report anything more about this story when it is obviously so easy to find out the facts just by checking his Facebook profile?

    2. Lol i agree, if you look up Patrick's brothers and his sister in law Jami and their kids you'll find their not friends with this whittle person

    3. One thing nobody has brought up. If Jason is PS son, it would also mean he is a grandfather. I am sure the grandchildren would like to know if he is their grampa. Even for medical reasons but also something the grandchildren could be very proud of. Just throwing that out there. I say God Bless both sides of the family.

  45. When it was proved he is his son why does he keep this secret? Even Charlene Swayze calls him family? Why not tell the world then? There's no need to be ashamed being P. Swayze's son? I guess it's rather because this whole story isn't true after all. When I look up Facebook and the pictures there it is clear he doesn't look like Patrick at all. It is such a shame, a story full of lies. I feel sorry for Lisa.

  46. Why make it public, regardless if its true or not, It was not a love story it was a cheap one night stand.

  47. It sounds like Bonnie struggled with telling her son about who his dad was. She obviously wasn't out for money or fame. She kept it to herself. She could've told anyone at anytime. No one knows her reasons why she didn't tell anyone. She probably felt like she was protecting her son. Sounds like a great mother. I believe he should take a DNA test though. He does deserve a part of Patrick's estate. It is sad Jason didn't know before Patrick's death.

  48. Gee whiz, so many nasty people. Today it is pretty easy to find out the truth. A DNA test will settle it. If he turns out to be Patrick Swayze's son, I hope he gets some of that inheritance money. From so many various stories, Patrick Swayze's wife turned out to be a horrible person. Swayze didn't have to leave his money to anyone except his wife, but he seemed to be too nice a guy not to leave them something. He had a lot.

    1. Don't believe everything you read. I had contact with Lisa for several times and I have to say she really is a nice person. Patrick would not have been married to her for such a long time if this was true. These stories are crap. Just like this Whittle story too.

  50. We personally know Ron and lebetta whittle. I seriously doubt this story is fact. Seems Jason is seeking his 15 minutes of fame and money being they all live in run down homes. Truth probably is you never heard anything more because the DNA test proved no relation.

  52. Has there been any outcome of this article as a mad Patrick Swayze fan i think its terribly insulting to his name if untrue but if it is true its even worse i know 1 of Patrick and Lisa's biggest regret was not having kids so if he is Patrick's and he didn't know that is devastating Patrick i am sure would of loved a son but as this hasn't even reached major news i am guessing its a get rich quick fiddle .

  56. This article has sure piqued my interest. The marvels of the internet! In many ways I hope the story is true and has a happy ending and irrespective of any possible inheritance that his son gains peace of mind and acceptance as Patrick Swayze's unknown son. There is nothing scandalous in all of this - this is just the way life goes with unexpected and unknown and unpredicted twists and turns. Watch this space!

  59. Three things. ..

    - Re abortion. How far we have come from this ultra strick three month cut off deadline. To Post delivery infanticide.


    - Why is Patrick soo pretty and Donald so BUTT ASS UGLY??? What's up with that

    - and last but not least did anyone even consider that perhaps Patrick's Widow did the right thing and wrote checks 2 perhaps pay off his mortgage fund an education education for his his children and I don't know buy him a car or two .... complete Financial Security for yourself and your family is truly a blessing and the best part of being wealthy if any or all of this for true the public would never know and it would keep them out of the Courts not to mention the total cost of all of this would probably be less then the bill for the lawyers if it were litigated

  61. Most of the comments I read are sort of pitiful on both sides of the baby daddy argument. It would not surprise me if it is Patrick's son. Stuff like this, one night stands have been going on for a looking time. Dig into your own family history and I guess you may find one case. Not all women revealed the father back in the day. Some decided to abort and others decided to raise them as a single parent. If Patrick has a male relative on the Swaze line then a DNA test should be done, if living relatives are open minded and open hearted enough to do so. And if it is proven to be his son, he does deserve something as a descendant and an heir. That would be the right thing, the just thing and the moral thing to do whether one personally liked the situation or not.

  69. As a woman who recently found out after 52 years that the man she thought was her biological father wasn't, I have a unique perspective. In May six weeks before my parents untimely deaths (car accident not COVID) my mother admitted that her first husband was not my father. My mother had never planned to tell me, she did because I had reached out to his son, so on my 52nd birthday she told me the truth. You see she was afraid to tell me because she didn't want me to hate her or for anyone to think badly of her. Yes, times were different back then, unwed mother's were treated like an unwanted disease, with fear and loathing. I'm sure keeping her secret, no matter who his real father was, weighed heavily on her mind. I hope she had a strong, supportive family. I don't care about DNA results, except for my own which brought me into contact with my biological aunt. My father died in 2007 never having met me or his grandchildren, and that makes me sad. As my parent's estate begins to get settled I can assure you no amount of money will ever make up for not having them here now. With all that is going on in the world we need to find ways to be kind not hateful.
