Farrah Fawcett’s family has been stunned by allegations the actress included a secret lover in her will.

The Charlie’s Angels star passed away in June, aged 62, and reportedly left the bulk of her multi-million dollar fortune to her troubled son Redmond O’Neal – excluding her longterm partner Ryan O’Neal from her legacy.

But now British newspaper the Sunday Express claims the star left $96,000 to former Texas football player Greg Lott, who previously claimed to have been her secret longterm lover.

Lott published a string of love letters in a bid to support his story, and was subsequently dismissed by Ryan O’Neal as a “disgruntled ex-boyfriend from the sixties.”

But the former athlete has revealed he was included in Fawcett’s will and insists her decision to leave him a portion of her estate proves she cared for him until the end. He has also accused O’Neal of keeping him away from Fawcett when she was dying.

He says, “I am a beneficiary of her estate. I have been asked to maintain the confidentiality of the estate, which I must respect.

“This news that I am indeed in her will and Ryan is not raises some serious questions about why he prevented me from seeing the love of my life in her final months. Farrah meant the world to me and I know that I equally had a profound impact on her. I cannot understand how those around her chose to keep me from her.”
