He had a love affair with Marie Louise von Larisch-Wallersee and was possibly the father of their children Mary Henriette and Georg Heinrich von Larisch-Moennich. Neither Heinrich nor Marie Louise have made any public statements about their love affair, but the children's middle names (Henriette / Heinrich) speak for Baltazzi's fatherhood, as does the fact that Georg Heinrich Larisch-Moennich shot himself at the age of 23 after he had learned that he and Mary Henriette were not the birth children of Count Georg v. Larisch-Moennich are. Both children are said to have resembled the Baltazzi family.
