    >Word of God: Rogue does have a kid. I never entirely went onto the backstory, but I do know that there’s a very good chance that Trace is that kid. Santiago was trying really hard to score with Rogue when Johnny showed up in NFA, and seeing Johnny’s feelings for Alt, she finally gave up the torch she was carrying for the rocker, leaving Santiago the rebound.

    As per [Mike](https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/rm2eo7/comment/hpkx1mz/?context=3).

    [Trace Santiago](https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Trace_Santiago).

  2. I mean the kid would have to be like 50 for that to even be possible

    It’s kind of left up in the air, if he’s Johnny’s or Santiago’s kid. But it’s a fifty-fifty chance because of the time frame of events. My bet is that he’s Santiago’s kid, but I doubt that we’ll get a clear answer.

    I’m just throwing this out there:

    Getting her pregnant doesn’t mean she had the baby. It could very well be a dig at Johnny’s promiscuous lifestyle.

    Not that I have any evidence or know better but so long as we’re brainstorming lol

  5. If Maximum Mike said it, it’s gospel. He does seem to have left it a little up in the air though. If her kid’s Santiago’s then she must have lost/aborted Johnny’s but it seems Mike’s decided to leave that one up in the air on purpose.

    Just because Johnny got her pregnant… doesn’t mean she kept the pregnancy.

    Honestly no idea but it’s such an odd thing for Pondsmith to say out the blue unprompted and after so long lmao

    I thought it was Santiago who fathered Rogue’s son.

    The sheer volume of people who misspell “Rogue” still absolutely blows my mind “Rouge” is make-up specifically red/pink that’s applied to a persons face usually the cheeks. FFS 🤯😂🫡

    In my head cannon, when JS died at Arasaka, they were all captured and the kid was Adam Smashers…that she hid from everyone….

    Wait Wait Wait… the two are parents? I didn’t know that and afaik it isn’t hinted at in the game? Holy Crap, that adds another level of what a shitty partner Johnny was and that he rightfully feels shame later on.

  12. Kind of a bummer to not have this flagged with a spoiler tag.
