Yeah, but you have the issue then of Goldanna, how he ends up with Eamon, Loghain lying...
We know that the game has a lot of inconsistencies, many of them due to Alistair undergoing a complete personality and change during the development of the game. Given the number of actual, game-breaking bugs Bioware lets through QA, the fact that they didn't do a complete rewrite on the dialogue for an optional party member you only have for the tail end of the game shouldn't be surprising.
We also know that all of the characters in the game are unreliable narrators. Alistair know about Goldanna because someone told him. Do you really think that Eamon wouldn't lie to him?
But it's still hard to see someone mourning his great tragic romance, and getting another woman pregnant in <2 years.
*shrugs* He had a duty to produce an heir for the terynir--and if you can't be with the one(s) you love....What's much more telling to me is that he avoided court until Rowan died, at which point you'd need a crowbar to pry him out of Denerim.
Besides, I'm convinced that Loghain's attraction to Rowan was partially transference, since he couldn't have Maric.
