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

There will be loads you never hear about, because in return for higher-than-legally-required financial support they will get the mother to sign a gagging clause

Oh - also the bloke who fathered Liz Hurley’s son

GlitchStitch · 19/12/2021 19:06

Tom Jones, he has an adult son he doesn't acknowledge.

Bizarrely Nick Cannons is on record as saying all the kids were planned. He sadly lost a baby son to cancer recently people.com/parents/nick-cannon-says-he-had-his-7-kids-on-purpose/

Prince Charles, if you believe the guy in Australia who's convinced he's the love child of Charles and Camilla.

Tom Jones definitely. He was odious to his poor wife, no idea why he’s some sort of national treasure.

PermanentTemporary · 19/12/2021 19:37

I don't think Tom Jones' wife is a victim tbh, or not now anyway. I should think she is a canny soul.

A cousin of mine had an 'oops' baby after a fling with a married Hollywood famous person - not an actor but still well known. There's a couple of online stories when she successfully proved paternity but she was paid to keep quiet otherwise and has never been interviewed. Tbh parents who put their kids into the public eye are the weirdos, not the ones who try to give them a normal life.

I agree, I can't stand him he makes my skin crawl.

felulageller · 19/12/2021 20:08

Jeff Brazier

Their DPs may have been more famous but they were still oops pregnancies.

Ethan Hawke

Famousinlove · 19/12/2021 23:09

Chelsea footballer Jorginho, got her pregnant 5 years after she had Jude Law's baby

powershowerforanhour · 19/12/2021 23:22

I don't think Clint Eastwood knows or gives a toss how many children he has.
He is fêted as a marvellous actor and director (which puzzles me, I think he is shit and wooden as the former and not that great at the latter).
If he was a woman he would be torn apart in the court of public and media opinion.

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 19/12/2021 23:50

Mark Philips, he had a daughter Felicity Tonkin born in 1985 while still married to Princess Anne, this was subsequently confirmed via a paternity test.

Shallwegoforawalk · 19/12/2021 23:53

@JamMakingWannaBe

Adam Peaty One of the One Direction lads Boris Becker

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 19/12/2021 23:55

And of course John Lennon married Cynthia because she was pregnant.

BurntO · 19/12/2021 23:59

Loads. Khloe Kardashian’s Childs father has just become a father die the 3rd time having conceived while being in a relationship with khloe.
Louis Tomlinson
Eddie Murphy
Boris Johnson
Steve Tyler
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Jude law
The list goes on

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 20/12/2021 00:08

The OP was about accidental pregnancies not just one night stands.

Of course there are degrees of accident with conception as a result of a one night stand or an extra marital affair being the most obviously accidental and "shocking".

Then there are the conceptions in short term casual relationships or very early in a relationship and historically babies conceived outside wedlock in times when this was deeply shameful. Probably a planned, probably an accident that caused some concern.

Then less obvious but much more common are the millions of unplanned babies conceived in a marriage, we will never know which these are unless their parents tell us and generally they don't as it can be hurtful to the child.

Matthew McConaughey has three kids with his wife. Did you mean someone else?
FlowerFlour · 20/12/2021 13:12

Didn't Liam Gallagher have 3 kids in 3 years with 3 different women?

Prince Albert of Monaco also seems to have multiple kids floating around.

LittleDidSheKnow · 20/12/2021 13:26

Billy Ray Cyrus fathered two children in the same year to two different women (one being Miley). He did, however marry Miley's mother and supported the other.

A former colleague used to have Ozzy Osbourne's daughter babysit for her. She was from a brief liaison before Sharon.
