Nancy Reagan convinced the future president, Ronald Reagan, to marry her after getting pregnant by him in 1952, their first-born, Patti Davis, reveals in a new memoir.

'I tend to doubt that getting pregnant was a result of carelessness,' writes Davis in her new book, 'Dear Mom and Dad: A Letter About Family, Memory, and the America We Once Knew,' which is out of February 6.

Davis, now 71, who had a life-long rocky relationship with her mother, asserts that Nancy's out-of-wedlock pregnancy carrying Patti, was the secret reason for her parents' union.

Nancy, unsuccessful as an actress, was one of the women then Hollywood star Reagan was dating after his divorce from his first wife, the Academy Award winner Jane Wyman. During their nine-year marriage, Wyman had two children, Michael and Maureen, and a third, Christine, who died shortly after birth.

According to Patti's account, her father and Wyman had 'made a pact' that he wouldn't remarry before she did.

The future two-term commander-in-chief was happy playing the field 'and was not exactly anxious to get married again', writes Davis.

But it was a dinner date with Ronnie at the Hollywood celebrity restaurant Chasen's where Nancy dropped the shocker that she was two months pregnant.

Maybe things would have turned out differently for Patti if this had happened after Roe.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

I’ve never been a fan of people who come out with memoirs attacking somebody who is not around anymore to defend themselves
