On Sunday, Kimberly Stewart’s 32nd birthday, Kimbo gave birth to her daughter, fathered by Benicio del Toro. In the initial “breaking news” report, Us Weekly claimed that Kimbo’s dad, Rod Stewart, and her mom, Alana, were there for the birth, and it sounded like they were the only ones. However, Us Weekly’s new report claims that Benicio actually showed up for the birth! No mention of whether he was “in the room” or not, but it actually sounds like Benicio is making an effort. Good for him…?
Del Toro’s a Daddy! Benicio del Toro was present when ex-girlfriend Kimberly Stewart gave birth to a baby girl in L.A. on Sunday evening — and the former couple are “thrilled that she is beautiful and healthy,” an insider tells Us Weekly.
Although the Oscar-winning actor 44, and actress-model Stewart, 31, are no longer involved, he’s vowed to play an active role in the life of his new daughter, the source adds.
The couple hasn’t yet picked out a name for their first child, who weighed 8 lbs 10 oz and was 22 inches long at birth.
Del Toro wasn’t the only one by Stewart’s side when she gave birth: Her famous father Rod Stewart, his wife Penny Lancaster and Kimberly’s mom Alana Collins were all at the hospital for the big moment.
“Both mom and baby are doing really well,” the source says. “Rod and Alana were thrilled to become grandparents for the first time and delighted at the new addition to their family.”

Why “beautiful” in front of “healthy”? I know every parent thinks their kid is beautiful, and the statement was probably tossed off because there were more important matters at hand, but “healthy” should come before “beautiful” because things should be listed in descending importance. As for the speculation about the baby’s beauty – you bitches are mean! I don’t think Benicio or Kimberly are amazingly gorgeous people, but you never know how genes are going to combine and the little girl could end up stunning.
Rod Stewart issued a statement to People Magazine saying, “My joy is indescribable.” Rod also threw Kimberly a birthday party the night before at Dan Tana’s, the LA institution. It really sounds more and more like Rod knows that he’s going to be supporting this kid as his own.

I’m glad that Kimberly had her family there for support. Knowing that Rod Stewart gets along with all his exes says something about him. I hope Benicio really will be there for his baby girl.

It’s Hollywood, sweetie! “Beautiful” always comes before “Healthy”.
I always thought Kimbo was one of the more tolerable celebutards and she’s seemed to really calm down in her 30s, so I have more hope for this little girl than for any poor baby that falls out of Paris or KK.
Or, God help us, Lindsay Lohan…

O-k-a-y…let us accept that said child is more beautiful than healthy. But I’m totally calling BS on her mother being an “actress-model.” Nope, not buying.

Wonder if the baby will resemble Shiloh, Knox or Vivien in any way, cos Bernito looks A HELL of a lot like Brad Pitt.

I hope the baby gets his surname. Del Toro is the coolest surname ever.

Totally not a big deal. When I see friend’s babies for the first time I always say they’re beautiful first. Of course it’s more important for the baby to be healthy but you don’t look at a newborn and coo ‘oooooooh, you’re so healthy’!

Good for Benicio for doing the right thing. I hope this child will have a dad in her life. I’m sure excited about what she might look like, because the parents are both good-looking, but at the same time strange-looking.

Eh, I’m sure when you’re in love with your new baby (and it was an easy pregnancy) all you can think of is how beautiful she is.

Actually the Jolie-Pitt kids look like their Grandfather, Jon Voight. And if you look at Jon Voight in his heyday, he looks like Brad Pitt.
In the end, people always end up having sex with their fathers or something. Creepy, but true.

Yeah, Nastassja Kinski is the daughter of one of the ugliest men ever (Klaus Kinski) and let’s not forget the Willis girls — their parents are reasonably attractive yet none of them looks fine.
And the reason why De Toro isn’t one of the sexiest men alive is because he doesn’t seem to take care of himself: he smokes like a chimney and seems not to be a fan of the gym. When he’s properly groomed, he’s really, really charming.

I think too much is being read in to the statement, the most important thing is all’s well.
Nobody knows who’s going to be supporting the child, especially when the father turned up for the birth and Kimberley isn’t exactly a teenager anymore. She’s kept very low key throughout the pregnancy, perhaps she’s maturing, maybe best to wait and see before drawing conclusions.

HUH?? This seems to imply that they will be having more children together. Weird…

I hope they name her Rojo Del Toro, then maybe she’ll get an endorsement deal with Red Bull.

Wish them the best.
@addie. Yeah. ITA on the BP resemblance. In SNATCH, I couldn’t almost tell them apart. BP is just blond and cleaner… And more loved. Mmm…I’d be into a healthier, clean-cut Del Toro…then he and BP would be my twin FOREVER dongs.

“It really sounds more and more like Rod knows that he’s going to be supporting this kid as his own”.
Why would Rod support this child? I think del Toro has sufficient funds to raise this child.

Totally agree on the gene combo part with Eve and Kaiser. Liv Tyler is gorgeous with her full lips, but they don’t look great on her Dad >.>
Besides, if she turns out to be hideous… she won’t have problems picking a surgeon to help, I don’t think… *shudders*

I think it’s more of a concern that her mother chose to have her, yet she is unable to support herself at age 32.

I am curious about when Alana (Stewart) Hamilton became Alana Collins. Did she remarried?
I still believe Kimberly could get a line of baby clothes on the market. If Tori Spelling can figure out how to support a husband and three children. I bet Kimberly could have the same opportunities.
Yet for some odd reason, I wonder if she kept a low profile during her pregnancy, cause she is being supported by her Father.
But I am happy for Kimberly and that she had a safe pregnancy. And has a healthy baby.
(Does anyone else suspect that del Toro was there to make sure the DNA test was promptly done?)

The Us piece is really pushing the “ex-girlfriend”/”no longer involved” angle. I thought the consensus was that it was a one night stand.

@rissa – mixed race?? Benicio is white(Italian/Spanish)regardless of him being born in P.Rico.
@Hautie – you can have paternity test during pregnancy maybe this is what BDT wanted before he gave out that PR statement to announceme the pregnancy.
I do hope BDT is there for his daughter I want his daughter to have some intelligence lol

Any child that doesn’t look like JLo’s daughter, Emme has the right to be called beautiful. JLo can’t say that about her kids..teehee!

Oh boy. This is a crazy story. In all honesty though, from the header pic I thought it was about Pitt.

When I was in grade school, there was a cute guy in my class, and his parents weren’t attractive at all, in fact, in my head, his dad looked like a walrus!
