Dan Marino's love child and his former flame Donna Savattere were spotted in London over the weekend, where Savattere lives with her husband.
According to the report from the New York Post, Savattere and her husband have planted tall bushes in the front part of their house to help block their home from media, photographers and questions. The couple did not comment when reporters stopped them in the street and neighbors found it odd what they have done.
The paparazzi and media have been hounding Savattere ever since the scandal came to light and she was away from the spotlight for a time before being spotted in England. The paparazzi can be very aggressive in England and in other parts of Europe, as evidenced by what happened to Princess Diana many years ago.
Savattere has remained out of the spotlight and has not commented publicly since the scandal came out about her and Marino. She was a CBS employee when the affair happened. Savattere was seen with 7-year-old Chloe and husband Nahill Younis and the two live in a $3.4 million, five-bedroom house they own in the upscale Wandsworth neighborhood.
"We thought it was odd," a neighbor reportedly said of the new landscaping. "They are very secretive and don't talk to anyone."

The scandal came out before the Super Bowl with Marino releasing a statement and reports saying that he gave millions to Savattere to take care of the baby.
"This is a personal and private matter. I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then. We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved. My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years and have six children together. And we continue to be a strong and loving family," he said in a statement.
There is also a book from one of Savattere's exes that supposedly is based on the relationship between the CBS employee and Marino, called "Honeymoon Junkie: Everything but the Girl".
Marino's scandal was never public news until the report broke and he paid Savattere millions to take care of the baby. Marino was involved in the Super Bowl coverage last week and did not address the scandal. It was mocked on SNL in the opening skit this past weekend and Marino has said he and his wife will remain together.
According to The Daily Mail, Marino's wife is staying at their home in Florida to avoid the news as it came out on Thursday. The report says that Marino paid millions to Savattere after Chloe was born and that the number has not been disclosed. The Mail also reports that "Savattere has since married banker Nahill Younis, whom she met on a trip to the Bahamas. The couple had a son together before their wedding at their home in the Hamptons in 2009. Ms. Savaterre was said to have revealed the secret to friends and showed them photographs of her and the quarterback together at restaurants and clubs."
The Post report says that the daughter, whose name is Chloe and is seven years old, is in contact with Marino. Not much is known about Savattere, but here is the rundown of the whole situation.
- Savattere was a production assistant at CBS Sports in 2005 in New York City
- She lived in Manhattan and also spends time in the Hamptons.
- Savattere has two children. Chloe, who she had with Marino, as well as another child with current husband, Nahill Younis.
- The Mail reports that "Savattere is also said to have made attempts to change the name of her and Marino's daughter from Chloe Alexis Savattere to Chloe Alexis Younis, according to records."
