OW is expecting a baby

So my still husband dropped a bomb on me... we have been separated for 3 years, got back together in the meantime, then he left for an 'open' relationship with 22 year old girl.
Now it comes out she is pregnant and wants to keep the baby.
Ex doesn't want it, she knew it. it is quite likely she basically trapped him as wanted commitment but he was always clear to her he wants no more kids, she was on the pill and still 'accidentally' got pregnant. He basically run away from family life to pursue his freedom and bachelor style living. I kind of diagnosed him as a narcissistic person and was slowly moving on. And now this...
My DD who is 9 doesn't know about OW. She was never an official gf, she met her in the past once or twice as a friend. She has never stayed with them.
Any practical advice how to deal with it...I have no understanding/sympathy for ex and OW after all they did to me and my girl. My only concern are these poor kids involblved in that mess... I know that the baby will be my DD sibling, so she will have to have relationship with her/him. But I cannot imagine any sort of relationship of my DD and OW. I just cannot do it...

Yes I don't believe a man can be trapped into having a baby. He can simply use a condom if he wants to avoid risks
