Of course anything is possible, in royal environments affairs used to be the rule rather than the exception, but Christian IX was not exactly the type you'd expect to go astray! Firstly he was very devoted to his queen, secondly he was too 'correct' in a bourgeois way, being very mindful of his responsibility as the founder of the cadet-line Glücksburg dynasty.
As far as I know no rumours have ever surfaced about Christian IX and illegitimate children.

Agree. I havent heard of any illegitimate children from him. He was deeply in love with his wife, and mourned her the rest of his days after she died.
