Rumors have it, Desperate Housewives actor Richard Burgi wants to adopt a child with his wife Lilliana Lopez. The actor, who plays the role of Karl Mayers in the hit comedy-drama, has revealed that he wants to father a child once again according to one of our sources.
Sources close to the couple have revealed that the ‘The Sentinel’ star wants to experience the joy of raising a child with his second wife. He reportedly believes that raising a child together will bring him even closer with his present wife. He has already raised two children with his former wife, Lori Kahn.
Burgi’s wife is reportedly incapable of giving birth to her own biological children. This has made the couple, who want to raise a child together, consider the option of adoption.
Burgi already has two biological sons from his first marriage. His first son, Jack, is 19 years old now, while his second son Sam is only 15 at the moment. His sons are reportedly closer to their mother than to him. This is believed to have also been another factor that caused the actor to consider the option of adoption.
