The media has "romanticized" the scenario you describe (the man cheating on his wife while married and getting the other woman pregnant). They use it back and forth either way they desire to play up the story as to how they want it perceived by the masses.
and do not forget, "the joy ride" was no big deal as they forget to mention she was intoxicated and attempted to run down the police to escape; also she has been dancing for 4 yrs, not a inexperienced,innocent,naive single mother of 2 as the criminal ex-husband stated
