It is not written in history and is not specified. William Shakespeare's "lover" would probably be his wife, Anne Hathaway. They were married in 1582, and had 3 children, a daughter Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. It is rumored that Shakespeare had one illegitimate son, William Davenant, however other sources state that Shakespeare was merely Davenant's godfather. Davenant's mother was Jane Shepherd Davenant.
Davenant is supposed to have claimed so in a letter written in 1644. About this there are four possibilities: 1. There was no connection at all between Davenant and Shakespeare and he made the whole thing up. 2. Shakespeare actually was Davenant's illegitimate son. 3. Shakespeare was Davenant's godfather, so he was Shakespeare's son in this sense. 4. Shakespeare was Davenant's inspiration, so he was the son of his spirit in a kind of metaphorical sense. This is almost certainly what Samuel Butler meant when he said Davenant was Shakespeare's son. Possibilities number three and four are the most likely. Number two is so unlikely that we can probably rule it out.
Sir William Davenant
