Affair producing children? (5)

I believe the answer is:

issue

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'affair' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'children?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'producing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Put out; result" , "Emit" , "Children; matter" , "Matter of dispute" , "Bring out - children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
