Do male celebs ever seem to have 'ooops' pregnancies?

I've never heard of a man in the public eye having a baby with someone by accident, or a one night stand

Random question I know Grin but sleep deprived and Google isn't telling me much

Is there anyone? I'm very bored as you can tell

Hugh Grant I would assume by the timing of his children.

FionnulaTheCooler · 19/12/2021 10:23

Justin Beiber was alleged to have impregnated a one night stand.
Boris Becker too.

VienneseWhirligig · 19/12/2021 10:24

Cristiano Ronaldo and Boris Becker spring to mind. And I think Liam Gallagher (but I might be misremembering about him)

Moancup · 19/12/2021 10:24

Err, the prime minister.

Jude Law.

GreenLunchBox · 19/12/2021 10:25

Loads! Why would they be different to the general public, especially when they've generally got women on tap?

IncompleteSenten · 19/12/2021 10:26

I'm sure there are loads. They just keep it quiet.

Hmm but surely some of the women who are then pregnant, and if they're having the baby, will want to share the news to the world

Some would want attention for it

Yet you never see it

Maybe there are big pay offs to keep quiet? At least from the press.

Justkeeppedaling · 19/12/2021 10:31

Prince Albert of Monaco has had a few oopses

santaclothes · 19/12/2021 10:32

Well if women are getting pregnant by accident, unplanned, then the men involved must also be

Every American basketball star- jay z

PlasticPlantsDontDie · 19/12/2021 10:34

Maybe they are paid / coerced to keep it quiet. My friend used to au-pair the illegitimate child of a politician (not in UK) it was all very hush. The child lived with the mum in a small apartment and my friend would have to disappear when he came to visit.

Either that or the mother was a fantasist!

thatsallineed · 19/12/2021 10:34

Of course they do. They just give the woman a shedload of cash to keep quiet.

Arethechildreninbedyet · 19/12/2021 10:35

Justin Bieber did I think there was an injunction against her.
I think one of the lads from One direction did.
Boris Johnson’s done it at least once!
Hugh Grant

QuicklyNowThen · 19/12/2021 10:36

Owen Wilson and he's ghosted mum and baby - knob

JamMakingWannaBe · 19/12/2021 10:41

Adam Peaty
One of the One Direction lads
Boris Becker

ClearButtons · 19/12/2021 10:42

Nick cannon - had 4 to 3 women in 12 months

didyouscoredarling · 19/12/2021 10:44

Well I'm just loving all this drama to Google Grin

Thank you!

Didn't realise Boris though, I thought they were actually established relationships and he just couldn't be asked using condoms from his general form

Simon Cowell.

ReginaaPhalange · 19/12/2021 10:47

Pretty sure one of the Kardashian's boyfriends did whilst still with her.... khloe's boyfriend was it??

ibuiltahomeforyou · 19/12/2021 10:48

To use an example where both parties were famous, Mel B and Eddie Murphy

Jude Law
Louis Tomlinson
This month, Khloe Kardashian's boyfriend Tristan Thompson
Liam Gallagher
I feel like Sean Bean might have?
Going back, aviator Charles Lindbergh had a whole other family his wife was oblivious to plus multiple illegitimate children

5thnonblonde · 19/12/2021 10:49

Drake, including the killer excuse ‘I wasn’t hiding you from the world I was hiding the world from you’ 😂

BoJo fathered at least one while married to his second wife- I can’t imagine that was intentional!

Lesserspottedmama · 19/12/2021 10:55

Dwight York (hardly a celeb really)
That really gorgeous guy from PS I Love You (not Gerrard, the one she meets at the end).
Eminem (before fame)
Rod Stewart (before fame)
I think Jude Law has done this on more than one occasion. It’s their responsibility but I do feel a bit sorry for them when they clearly have been targeted as Jude Law clearly was - totally their own fault though, fools!

There will be so so many who have managed to keep it quiet.

NCnotmyusualone · 19/12/2021 10:55

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eddie Murphy, Steve Tyler, Tom jones, Eric Clapton.

stalkersaga · 19/12/2021 10:58

Do you not remember the whole thing where Boris Becker fathered a child during a very, very brief encounter in a restaurant cupboard? The child looked freakishly like him as well. He denied paternity, she sued and won. It was all reported.

In short, yes, it happens all the time.
