I'm pretty sure it is Eric Burdon
It is difficult to verify this, but it was the subject of a number of tabloid rumors. We do know that Smith (who died in 2002) had a relationship with Burdon for a while; but there was no formal acknowledgement of paternity: the only child Burdon has ever acknowledged is a daughter from the second of his three marriages.
Eric Burdon, the lead singer, is still touring. Up until 2008, he toured with "Erick Burdon and the New Animals" as a way to trade on the legendary name. It is peculiar that the drummer, John Steel, owns the name rights. There have been legal complications, but the short version is that John Steel and Eric Burdon are both trying to use the original band's name to get on tour. They are not making new music, working as a nostalgia band. Both men are still active and touring in England.
