'It is NOT me': Former flight attendant denies she is mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's secret love child
A former flight attendant on Arnold Schwarzenegger's private plane today denied she is the mother of his secret love child.
Tammy Baker Tousignant, a California blonde who was in her late 20s when she worked on his private plane, gave birth to a son after an alleged affair during the Nineties.
She was initially linked to the 63-year-old in 2003 by the actor's biographer Wendy Leigh, who claimed Tousignant's son Tanner had a 'remarkable resemblance' to the star.
But today her lawyer vehemently denied a romance and insisted that a DNA test had proved the actor is not the father of her child.
Tousignant's lawyer Thomas E. Anthony told Radar Online: 'I will confirm the following: the Tousignant child was no "love child" involving anyone other than the parents of the child, Tammy and her husband, Tom Tousignant.

'Arnold Schwarzenegger was not the biological father of the Tousignant child. All scientific tests confirmed that Mr. Tousignant was the biological father of the child.'
'From what I remember, Mrs. Tousignant had nothing but the highest regards for Maria and Arnold as a couple.'

Tousignant's name resurfaced in online reports today after Schwarzenegger admitted to fathering a child with an unnamed former employee.
The staff member in question is understood to have retired in January after working for Schwarzenegger and his now estranged wife Maria Shriver for 20 years.
The former Governor of California was not specific about the time of his extramarital affair, saying only that it happened 'over a decade ago'.

Leigh wrote in 2003 that at 11, Tousignant's son Tanner had a 'wide, toothy smile' and showed a 'remarkable resemblance' to the actor.
Tanner is also the name of the actor's character in Total Recall.
The child is now understood to have graduated from Brea Olinda High School in Brea, California last year.
One of Tousignant's colleagues, Kristin Campbell, said the blonde would routinely boasted that 'her baby was Arnold's'. The same claim was made by two other women who knew Tousignant well, according to Leigh.
'Everyone knew that she was Arnold's lover - everyone,' a source employed within the California charter-jet business said at the time.
Tousignant is understood to have joined Schwarzenegger as he travelled across the county.
She was married at the time of their first meeting separated from her husband in1996.
The married couple later reunited and had another son, Connor, which is the name of the hero in Terminator.
Quizzed about the allegations back in 2003, Tammy denied any romance with Schwarzenegger and insisted she was the victim of 'dirty politics'.
'There is a picture out there and they say that my son looks like Arnold. But he looks like my husband,' she said at the time. 'It is incredibly hurtful for people to be saying these things about my family.
