Anyone can have an affair, but Marx the weird intellectual covered in pustulant boils (hiradenitis suppurativa) who seemed to genuinely love Jenny his wife, seems unlikely compared to Engels (huge philanderer, charismatic, handsome) or any of the dozens of European exiles that drifted through their home. I believe they (or Engels) did look after the maid and her child financially.
I agree, doesn't really fit Marx, though an affair isn't out of the question I doubt he'd abandon a child at any cost
