American actress Mia Farrow has admitted Frank Sinatra, and not Woody Allen, may have been the father of her son Ronan.

Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine in an exclusive interview published on Wednesday, Farrow described the crooner and film star, 29 years her senior, as the great love of her life.

Asked whether Ronan, 25, may actually have been fathered by Sinatra, Farrow said: "Possibly. We never really split up." Photos show Ronan and Sinatra with similar piercing blue eyes.

Farrow and Sinatra divorced in 1968 after two years of marriage. Farrow's subsequent relationship with Allen collapsed in scandal in 1992 when she discovered the Oscar-winning director was having an affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn.

Allen and Soon-Yi went on to marry and Ronan no longer speaks to his father.
