I thought they were on the verge of splitting up after he had an affair! Is 'expecting twins through a surrogate' an alternative way of saying he's knocked up his mistress?

Pinkjenny · 29/04/2009 10:09

Hee hee!!

Is it terribly unsisterly of me to secretls supect she's paying someone else to do it to keep her body intact?

I think I probably would...

Pinkjenny · 29/04/2009 10:12

She does have a rock hard body. Twin girls when she has always droned on about how much she wants a little girl to pass all her clothes on to is very, erm, fortunate?

But she has a child already that was born during STAC being on TV still so I doubt that would be her reason ( if this is indeed true)

Marthasmama · 29/04/2009 10:12

I was wondering if maybe she's too skinny but yes MP you're probably right.

shinyshoes · 29/04/2009 10:13

check those sideburns!

Marthasmama · 29/04/2009 10:14

SS - I thought Ooooo has she got sideburns. Ah no, he has.

lalalonglegs · 29/04/2009 10:16

But she's about 45 now so the chances of having another baby without some pretty hefty intervention is unlikely. Is it just me who suspects that most of Hollywood "adoptions" are just a polite name for surrogacy - can't believe that there are that many children available to middle-aged, single women. At least she is being upfront about it.

Northernlurker · 29/04/2009 10:16

They have one child born some years ago - her figure/career obviously wasn't an issue then. Sounds to me like they have been struggling with secondary infertility and have chosen this as their route. I hope all goes well for them all.

Twins, SATC sequel (yay!) and two other film roles lined up. She's going to be exhausted!

SuziSeis · 29/04/2009 20:54

obviously wanted girls real bad

SuziSeis · 29/04/2009 21:01

if she can conceive them why cant she carry them?

Northernlurker · 30/04/2009 00:17

Suzi - that is a staggeringly stupid remark! Why don't you pop over to the conception boards and spout that line - I think you'll get a robust response! Conception doesn't mean you will carry to term and we know NOTHING about what has happened here - excpet that two people are going to become parents thanks to the selfless actions of another woman. How about we try celebrating that, and encouraging them, as we would if it were one of our friends - instead of bitching!

SuziSeis · 30/04/2009 00:35

bitching? who was?

SuziSeis · 30/04/2009 00:37

'They have one child born some years ago - her figure/career obviously wasn't an issue then.'

Oh I see who is bitching though

Have been on the infertility boards myself once

PortAndLemon · 30/04/2009 00:42

NL wasn't bitching. morningpaper suggested that SJP was using a surrogate to keep her body intact, and NL pointed out that as SJP had already had one pregnancy at the height of her career she (SJP) obviously didn't think that figure/career were good reasons for not getting pregnant, so secondary infertility was a more likely explanation.

PortAndLemon · 30/04/2009 00:45

A good friend, who has a DS the same age as mine has had eight miscarriages since I got pregnant with DD (we were originally pregnant at the same time again). Perhaps you'd like to ask her your staggeringly sensitive question?

FWIW, the best answer the specialists can come up with in her is "probably some immune factor that we don't know enough about to be able to pick up on the screening tests yet; if we give you a massive dose of steroids every month then it MIGHT help"

Northernlurker · 30/04/2009 07:52

Went to bed after posting but thanks Portandlemon that was exactly what I meant and by 'bitching' Suzi - I meant you.

I read that she chose a surrogate as she was having problems concieving. Apparently this was putting a great strain on her marriage which is why he had an affair.
Good on them- they are thrilled and back on track apparently.
