Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman, who is in the midst of a divorce from wife Myrna of 25 years, has allegedly been having sexual relations with his step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines since she was just a teenager.

According to bombshell report out from the National Enquirer, 72-year-old Morgan Freeman's affair with step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines, 27, began when she was a teen - and the alleged affair not only contributed to his split from Myrna, his wife of 25 years, it also led to his breakup with his longtime mistress, former schoolteacher Mary Joyce Hays.

E'Dena, Morgan's ex-wife Jeanette Adair Bradshaw's granddaughter, was raised by Morgan and Myrna "since she was a little girl," a source reveals to the Enquirer.

The source continues: "Myrna said E'dena told her that when she was a teenager, she and Morgan went to dinner at a friend's house one evening. Both had been drinking, and when they returned home, Morgan attempted to have sex with her. They stopped just short of having intercourse."

"E'Dena explained to Myrna that she stopped Morgan from going any further."
 
Apparently Myrna confronted Morgan about the incident - but while he admitted to doing it, he agreed to never do it again. Little did Myrna know, Morgan and E'Dena continued the affair for a decade.

The Enquirer also reports that E'Dena has also been Morgan's escort to several public events, including last summer's premiere of the blockbuster Bat-flick hit, The Dark Knight. The insider adds: "Nobody thought anything of it, because she would be introduced as his 'granddaughter.'"

As for the incest charge, the source says: "It's not technically incest, because they are not related by blood...[but] Morgan is trying desperately to keep his divorce out of open court so all the shameful facts won't become public."

Well, to anyone who has raised step children and grandchildren, the word "step" is insignificant. They love their "step" children as their own, so technically incest or not - it's still incest.
