I think she knew he had children but it still is not a nice way to find out after the fact

Dare I suggest that maybe the new girlfriend didn't know that he had children - or if she did, didn't know how to get in touch with them?

Not a nice thing to find out by accident. Especially for his children after such a long time. My condolences to them. <3

Did the children not have contact with their father beforehand?

My late brother gave instructions that his eldest son was not to be informed of his death. They had had no contact for many years after some sort of argument.

I know how you feel I was angry for our 3 children that his girlfriend hadnt the decency to let them know he was ill or died

I found out quite by accident 2 years after the event that my sister had passed away. I was not upset at all as we hadn't spoken for ages but cross with my nephews for not having the manners to let me know.

Just found out my ex husband has passed away in March 2020 just before his 60th birthday I dont feel anything but I am angry that our children only just found out 3yrs and 8 months after he had died. My daughter went to a clairvoyant and her dad came through but she thought it was not him then checked on line and found out he had passed away
