Last month, we got the surprising news that Emile Hirsch had impregnated a woman in Florida. The initial report made it sounds less like a pregnancy from a genuine relationship and more like Emile Hirsch going to a party, having a one night stand with some random woman, and that one night stand resulted in pregnancy. To give Emile some credit though, the reports made it seem like he was pretty cool with becoming a father through such unconventional ways, and he’s probably already made some financial arrangements for the kid. Well, it looks like it’s happened already – the lady gave birth and now Emile Hirsch is somebody’s father.
Emile Hirsch has welcomed his first child, a son, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
The Speed Racer star has yet to publicly comment on the news, but according to E! Online, which first reported the birth, the 6 lbs., 2 oz. baby boy was born Sunday, Oct. 27 in Florida and is named Valor.
“He is a beautiful, healthy baby boy. Everyone is so excited and happy,” E! quotes their source as saying.
“Emile showed up after the baby was born and he is spending time bonding with his new child.”
Hirsch, 28, and his son’s mother, whom he reportedly met at an Oscar party, remain friends and plan to raise their son together.
Hirsch joked about his impending fatherhood last month, Tweeting on Oct. 2, “I have a baby announcement to make. I am in fact Ronan Farrow’s biological father,” in reference to Mia Farrow‘s claim that Frank Sinatra, and not Woody Allen, might be her son’s real father.
VALOR? This kid’s name is Valor Hirsch? It’s cute if it’s Val Hirsch, maybe, but VALOR? It’s not that I have anything against the word or the name “Valor” but maybe only war heroes should get to use that name for their sons. Or daughters. Valor Hirsch sounds like… I don’t even know. Like, a military award? “Dude got a silver star AND a Valor Hirsch for his extraordinary service in Afghanistan.”

A big name to live with. Even Val is going to be a playground nightmare. All the same, CONGRATULATIONS.
I gather that he is a douchebag (via Laniey, who I view as slightly suspect), but I can’t help but like him. I have a soft sport for the quirky characters he played as a kid. Anyway, congrats on the new babe. Annnnd Valor is kind of odd, but not totally awful
he should give owen Wilson a call
Maybe they should sit down together and read the instructions to a box of condoms
Rotflmao!!
I saw a picture of the baby. Very cute.
Is the the new trend in Hollywood. These male stars having babies from women they are not in a relationship with.. There seems to be quite a few..
Owen
Jeremy
Emile
Benicio
the list is much longer I bet. Do they not know about protection.
Oh I bet its been going on since the beginning of Hollywood. At least they are acknowledging the kids now, thats got to be a positive
No birth control including condoms. Much of dumb dumbs.
It is not merely a Hollywood trend
As Maury Povich would no doubt confirm! Nothing will ever beat that woman who was “absolutely 100% sure” that the 13th guy they DNA tested would be her baby’s father and, um, no…
Congrats to them!
Baby names are so hard! I’m 7 months pregnant with my third and my first girl and we are coming to fisticuffs over what her name will be. Such a huge decision, I hope we make a better choice than Valor. 😉
Congratulations Dorothy#1.
I always found that if I told people the names before I had the baby, everybody had – and offered – their opinion. If I told them after the baby was named, they wouldn’t say anything.
If you are looking for a girl’s name, I have always found “Jane” and “Eyre” to be very nice names *wink*
I NEVER tell names. Ok, well we tell family & close friends, but we never announce them publicly. My son was Bean until he was born & this one is Sprout. We lost twins at 18 weeks & we’ve still never publicly announced their names.
We didn’t announce our sons name until after he was born, we named him Wyatt Cub and call him Cub. We have had several surprisingly mean comments about his name, it’s truly amazing how mean adults can be about things. (BTW Cub is a family name)
elo, I like Cub. That’s a great name.
Bhodi: I’m so very sorry for your loss at 18 weeks. I understand your pain and your emotions with a broken heart. Xoxox . (I lost a baby a son at 22 weeks). I hope you are doing well. Wishing you much peace and love to you and your family.
Oh God Bodhi! So sorry, I can’t imagine! I had a miscarriage before this one at 10 weeks and it was awful.
We don’t tell names either! My boys are Rowan and Brody and I want some thing that kinda goes with their name. We are calling her Rambo Sparkle for now 🙂
J. Eyre I wanted Darcy because I love Mr Darcy but the hubby said no! lol
I think you should stick with Rambo Sparkle. That’s seriously badass.
3rd? i hope at least one is adopted. there are 163 million orphans around the world. 19 times the population of nyc.
that’s a nasty comment. Stop judging people. She’s not talking about her 7th child.
How many have you adopted? Are sanctimonious lectures part of their daily upbringing?
I agree with Kliving. What exactly have YOU done to help those 163 million orphans?? Other than try to shame other people that is…
he should have named his son Deer Hirsch… ok only german speakers would get the joke 🙂
+1
Omg I laughed way too much at this 😛
Explain, please
Hirsch is the German word for deer
hahahahhahaha
He’s a cutie. So first it was Pauly D, now Emile, who is next?
The name Valor isn’t bad, but Valor Hirsch doesn’t flow, the R sounds are too close together.
I think the name Valor itself is more of a problem than the R sounds being too close.
The poor kid!
I mean… discretion is the better part of valor or how about prudence is the better part of valor. Good to know the parents have spared no thought for their kid’s mental wellbeing.
VALOR – ? a noun meaning courage and bravery – “strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness : personal bravery”.
for a name, is kind of cool-ish, but –
it has me asking – LIKE, um – is it an honorable decision to knock a gal up and then “take the consequences” – ? HOW BRAVE. hmmmm
sounds like someone thinks quite a lot of themselves!
I used to think Emile was so hot in Lords of Dogtown, like uhmm…i would have paid for his company lol. But he has never been hot in much else.
Idk how I feel about the name Valor, it’s not the worst but it seems like a bit much to live up to.
My first baby (it’s a girl!) is due in two weeks and we still don’t have a name! I want a nature name/unique name that isnt in the top 100 and hubby wants an oldfashion name.
You could name her Ivy. It’s both a nature name and an old fashioned name I don’t think it’s in the top 100 name list.
Yay to Ivy! I have a friend who named her daughter Ivy — and I think it’s lovely. (And why call your child Blue when she could be Ivy?)
Ivy most definitely is on the top 100 names, & personally I’ve known 4 families in the last 2 years name their baby girls Ivy. It’s a lovely name, but fairly common. We also had 2 Year 1’s and a Prep student called Ivy this year at my school. So not really that unique. But at least it’s not Mia or Sophia, seems every second baby is named one of those two options lately. Though again, lovely names, just way too popular if you’re trying to balance uniqueness with old fashioned.
How about Maple? Has an old-fashioned sound but is also a nature name.
or Melody?
I like Olive. Pearl, Ruby (if I was going to have kids, my daughter would be Ruby), Rose. Is Aurora considered old fashioned?
Nothing like total strangers offering baby names 😉 But I’m not having kids of my own, so I have to live vicariously through others.
I’m not pregnant now nor planning to be in the near future, but I love looking at baby name sites. Maybe because I’m an Amy born in the 70s (when it was second only to Jennifer for the entire decade) and ALWAYS had another Amy in my classroom, I’m obsessed with finding that sweet spot between unique but not crazy in a name.
Valor isn’t the one, in my opinion. Although I am currently loving the middle name “Plum” for a girl, so what do I know!
Maybe they will call him “V” — that would be cool, for a kid.
Valor is okay. I sorta liked those days when people had descriptive names — Patience, Goody, Courage…
For whatever reason, I loooooathe names that are nouns, i.e. Charity, Faith, Trinity, Prudence, Hope, etc. The only thing I hate more is when people change up the spelling of a word you’d find in the dictionary.
The Medal of Valor isn’t miliary, it’s Scientology 🙂 even better, right?
Maybe It goes with his mom`s last name, that is also important that the name goes well with the last name.
Well, at least he is making an effort to be a part of his newborn son’s life even though he’s no longer with the mother. The fact that he showed up immediately after the birth and seems happy and excited about being a new father proves to me he is taking his responsibilities as a new parent seriously. It’s nice to see him bonding with his newborn son even if his new role as a father wasn’t planned.
They say drama club kids are a bunch of F-ing weirdos with capital F.
He would’ve never had Valor if he’d won a Jimmy.
