Best-selling novelist Wilbur Smith, 82, does not regret falling out with his children saying 'They're not part of me - they've got my sperm, that's all'
The 82-year-old millionaire has previously admitted that success cost him a close relationship with his son Shaun, daughter Christian (inset as children) and the pair's half-brother Lawrence. All three, he claimed, only wanted his money and had 'done nothing to win my respect'. Smith (left) now says he has no desire to see the trio and is instead focused on enjoying life with his fourth - and much younger - wife, Niso, 43 (right with the novelist). A British resident who was born in Northern Rhodesia - now Zambia - but now lives in Kensington, West London, Smith married his first wife Jewell in 1964. They later divorced and he married Anne, with whom he had Shaun and Christian, but the marriage was also dissolved. In 1971, the novelist married Danielle, adopting her son Dieter from a previous relationship. His relationship with his children has been troubled. Just over a decade ago, at Niso's insistence, he reconciled with Shaun - who went into the Rhodesian SAS before becoming a successful businessman. But the pair are believed to have drifted apart again.
