Hugh Grant confirms fathering his third child with ‘good friend’ Anna Eberstein

wenn21473927

Several years ago, Hugh Grant got a lady pregnant. The lady was Tinglan Hong, and they had some kind of casual dating relationship when she got pregnant. He was sort of rude about it at first, but he bought her a pricey mansion apartment close to his mansion, and she gave birth to a daughter, Tabitha Grant. Seven months later, Hugh got Tinglan pregnant AGAIN. She gave birth to a son, Felix Chang Hong Grant. Lost in the midst of those pregnancies was the fact that Hugh had gotten a second woman pregnant. He impregnated a Swedish woman named Anna Eberstein in between Tinglan’s two pregnancies. As a matter of fact, Anna’s pregnancy overlapped for five months with Tinglan’s second pregnancy. Anna gave birth to a boy as well and we don’t know that kid’s name. Hugh once again purchased a home for Anna, another mansion apartment close to his mansion. And we can talk about all of this because Hugh confirmed it:

Hugh Grant has spoken of his love for his half-Swedish son. It is the first time he has publicly spoken about his son, born in September 2012 but whose existence was only revealed earlier this year. The Notting Hill star, 54, went from being childless to a father of three in the space of just 15 months. He has a daughter and a son by his other lover, Tinglan Hong, and the two women were pregnant with their sons at the same time. Both mothers and their children live within walking distance of Grant’s townhouse in Fulham, West London.

Speaking to Swedish newspaper Nöjesbladet, he said of Miss Eberstein, 35: ‘We are very good friends and she’s a very good mother.’

The pin-up actor said he had plenty of contact with his son, whose second birthday was last week.

‘[I see him] all the time, all the time – most days,’ he said. His relationship with the boy was ‘excellent’, he said, adding: ‘I love him very much.’

Grant also spoke warmly about the charms of Sweden, which he has visited several times. Miss Eberstein’s mother, Susanne Eberstein, is a Swedish judge and prominent left-wing politician who has described her grandson as a ‘wonderful little cute boy’.

Grant, who is the figurehead of the anti-press campaign group Hacked Off, said: ‘I really don’t do very much acting any more. I’m doing a film next spring, but mostly my life is politics.’

The actor gave his interview at a racetrack in the town of Skåne Knutstorp where he was test-driving a Ferrari in a charity race. Explaining why he was taking part, Grant, who drives luxury cars including a Ferrari around London, said: ‘I felt it was a test of my manhood and I had to say yes, because I do own these ridiculous cars, and I have done a lot of lessons in how to drive them, but I’ve never done a race, so it feels like I have to have a race. And it’s for a very good cause, it’s for a cancer charity.’

Grant’s son – who the Mail is not naming – was revealed when he suddenly added himself to the boy’s birth certificate, more than a year after he was born. When the baby was first registered, the father’s name was left blank. About a month before their son was born, Miss Eberstein moved into a £2.69 million mansion apartment bought for cash, and she is the sole owner. It is just round the corner from Grant’s house.

The Hollywood star’s first child, daughter Tabitha, was born to 33-year-old Miss Hong in September 2011. Within four months of the birth, Miss Eberstein was pregnant by him. Three months after that, he got Miss Hong pregnant again. And for around five months in 2012, the two women’s pregnancies overlapped.

Something nice… at least he’s financially supporting his baby-mamas. If Hugh Grant gets you pregnant (and I think the odds are pretty good that will happen), he will buy you a really nice apartment in London and he will spend time with the kid. Not a lot of time, mind you. He has to play golf and make political statements. But he’ll check in with the kid, providing you agree to a paternity test (because I’m absolutely sure he’s made both women take paternity tests while pregnant). Oh, and he isn’t going to leave any of his kids trust funds. So… is this the new normal? I still have difficulty adjusting to the idea that Hugh Grant became a father of three in his 50s. There’s hope for George Clooney yet.

    Use a condom.

    • danielle says:

      I’m kind of thinking no kids for all those years, then three that close together, he wanted kids, or was at least OK with the possibility. Maybe he got into his 50s and decided it was time. Happens with guys sometimes. Something about aging or legacies or something, I guess.

      • Jess says:

        That’s what I’m thinking, surely they were planned , especially the second kid, it’s so close to the first and if the first baby mama was scandalous he wouldn’t have slept with her again, right? Hugh is a strange guy, I’m interested to see him interact with his children, and the moms.

      • kibbles says:

        I don’t think these pregnancies were an accident. He lived his entire adult life without getting a woman pregnant until a span of 15 months in his 50s. His biological clock probably started ticking. Women make these choices all the time when they reach their 30s and 40s and decide it’s now or never regardless of whether they are married or not.

    • AG-UK says:

      Maybe not planned as so many still think breastfeeding is contraception.. I know a couple of people even sister in law preg. within 3 months of the first one. They weren’t listening to the GP when he said BE careful.

    • snowflake says:

      if it was planned, it wouldn’t be by two different women. jmo. he prob usually used protection in the past, decided to have kids with first lady. meanwhile, he was screwing second lady but felt comfortable enough to not worry about protection. and then, whoops!

    • KelT says:

      I agree that these were no accident. It’s clear he was ready, and he wasn’t discriminating about who the mother is, or now, who the mother’s are. Sad for the kids.

      • Geekychick says:

        Why is it sad for the kids, exactly? Are we in middle ages still or something?
        The world is full of marriages lasting for a year, or two, producing kids and then the middle-aged man divorces, marries again and bam! Another kid! How is this worse?
        Kate Winslet has 3 children by three different fathers, but it’s not the same bc….what? She was married to 2 of them? Greater span of time between the kids?
        I find this so hypocritical…if he loves his kids, spends time with them and has financial responsibility towards them, what is there to judge?
        And I don’t really understand the blogger writing these-how do we know how much time he spends with his kids? He’s stealthy and avoids paps, and we didn’t know about his children for a pretty long time, so how do we know that he isn’t spending time with them? Because he isn’t Jen Garner and doesn’t have a daili pap walk?

      LOLOLOL thanks for the mega tsunami sized chuckle 🙂 🙂 🙂 awesome that iit is first in line for this thread.

    • delorb says:

      Or better yet, put it away.

  2. MrsBPitt says:

    mmmm….three secret kids, by two different women….yup…he can now call himself a politician!

  3. PunkyMomma says:

    Well isn’t he a regular Johnny Appleseed?

  4. Kiddo says:

    He looks like an older version of Seth Myers in the jump. It said Hugh Grant in the headline, but my brain still couldn’t place him, he looks so different.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      He does. I think we aren’t used to seeing people from Hollywood age naturally. His hair is in that awkward stage of not quite gray and he doesn’t look like he’s had any work on his face. I’m surprised, because I always assumed he would be vain, which was shallow on my part.

    • Anastasia says:

      I thought for a brief second it WAS Seth Myers!

  5. Lucy2 says:

    I don’t really get it – did he suddenly decide he wants a bunch of kids? Is he going to keep alternating between the mothers? Strange situation, but it sounds like all the kids are loved and well cared for.

  6. Tulip says:

    I’m glad he’s being financially responsible for the moms and babies. Good for him, truly. But I am jealous, and if I had to do it all over again, I’d get knocked up by a rich guy and say “screw working”. Who’s with me here?

    • snowflake says:

      sounds nice in theory. but you piss em off, they take house from you, money from you, etc. like charlie sheen. you can bet any house they “buy” you is in their name, not yours. but yeah, it’s a nice daydream.

  7. GlimmerBunny says:

    Aw, I think he seems sweet and very happy about his kids. If it works for him and the mothers, who are we to judge?

    (Then again it might be my eternal fondness for his character in “Love, Actually” that clouds my judgement. That dancing scene!)

    • Jayna says:

      Yeah, I think he does a little more than visit the kids. He is probably very involved in his childrens’ lives especially now that they are a little older. He keeps it private because he doesn’t want the press hounding his children and his life. No one ever knew Kate Bush had a child for five years. Bob Dylan was fanatical about admitting who he was married to and children.

      • Suze says:

        But Hugh isn’t keeping his private life private, as Kate Bush and Bob Dylan did. Quite the opposite.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I watch Love Actually every Christmas. I adore that movie. The proposal gets me every time.

    • Ag says:

      i love that movie, and the dancing scene is the best!

      • ella says:

        I never got Hugh Grant’s appeal until that movie – he was great. And I normally HATE those random dance scenes in movies, but that one cracks me up.

    • Suze says:

      I adore “Love Actually” even though it really isn’t a very good movie.

      But Hugh? Well he has said himself that he isn’t a very nice guy, and I tend to believe it since it comes from the source. It’s nice that he writes checks and visits and all, but I’m not going to go so far as to say it’s “sweet”. It’s the bare minimum you should do when you sire kids.

  8. MrsBPitt says:

    Its always so pleasant to have children with “a good friend”….WOW…I’m not saying people have to be married to have kids, but I would kinda like to know that my parents were in love or in a romantic relationship when I was conceived…this is the scenierio in my mind’s eye:

    Knock, Knock, Knock

    Hugh: Hello, may I borrow a cup of sugar
    Baby Momma: Why certainly, good friend, come in…
    Hugh: Feel like having a shag, pal of mine…
    Baby Momma: Bly me, I don’t have any condoms
    Hugh: I don’t mind, If you don’t…
    Baby Momma: Alright, then, lets have a go!
    Baby Momma: Thanks for the shag, Buddy!
    Hugh: Pip, pip cherio! Ring me, if you’r preggers

  9. tracking says:

    Yeah, a little odd to suddenly sire children all over the place in your fifties. But I suppose other than some financial support he doesn’t have to do much. Not like he’s getting up in the middle of the night and doing the school runs. Or interrupting his boning schedule. Just can flatter himself that he propagated. How nice for him.

    • A Mascarada says:

      My sister happens to live nearby his place in Chelsea, London. She has kids same age of his and she has often been privy to some to his moves with the kids; playgrounds, supermarkets, etc… He seems to be a pretty much hands on Dad.

  10. Ag says:

    i guess his biological clock was ticking, eh?

  11. Arya Martell says:

    No need to bring George into this. We all know that he’ll never have a kid that will cramp his lifestyle. Hugh seems a lot more together than he did 15-20 years ago. I can think of men his age that I would not want to see have kids (or anymore kids)…Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp come to mind. I tend to think Hugh’s a decent dad and a lot more present than we give him credit for. He doesn’t trot his kids out for pap walks on a regular basis and I tend to think he keeps his life private which is a good thing. Plus, I don’t think we’ll be hearing about Hugh’s epic custody battles.

    P.S. Is it just me or does anyone else wonder what Liz Hurley is up to whenever a Hugh Grant story comes out?

    • Andrea says:

      I wonder if Liz and Hugh wished they’d have had kids together or no that ship was long sailed. They were together sooo long is why I wonder this.

      • Arya Martell says:

        I actually think it’s good they never had kids together. I tend to think Liz is a bit crazy.

      • Andrea says:

        I wonder that myself. Then there was the whole he was caught with a hooker thing too and everyone was like OMG how could he have done that to her. Isn’t it possible she didn’t like sex much with him or they weren’t around each other for awhile and he was desperate (course couldn’t he have done a fangirl??)

  12. Steph says:

    Grant is such a sleaze.

    • snowflake says:

      yep

    • Mike says:

      Why? Kate Winslet has three kids with three different fathers and nobody calls her a sleeze on this website (I don’t think she is either.) If you have the money to support multiple childrebn and the time to be a part of their lives then what is the problem? If I were a multi-millionaire I would have many more kids. Sadly I only have one but I adore him.

      • Suze says:

        She lives with her kids, though. Hugh does not.

      • Ange says:

        Well yeah Suze but the mothers have primary custody, just like in Kate’s case – seems a weird comparison to make. He did buy them a place to live nearby, surely that means something.

  13. Green Girl says:

    “because I’m absolutely sure he’s made both women take paternity tests while pregnant”

    I am fairly sheltered in these matters, but isn’t a paternity test at some point standard practice? I can see why he’d do it, especially as he’s worth millions.

  14. betsy says:

    Where does Hugh Gran’t money come from considering he hardly works. I know he;s into buying and selling antiques and has a god eye but nevertheless he’s no Brad Pitt so how can he keep so many households afloat.

    • Green Girl says:

      I have heard he’s made smart investments and has bought and sold artwork over the years. Do movie stars continue to make money off the sale of DVDs? That would add money, too.

    • Kate says:

      He was making very good money for a long stretch. Remember all those crappy American rom-coms he did? On Two Weeks Notice he made something like 12 million and the rest were in the region of 5-10 million. Conservative estimate would be that he earned well over 50 million during the noughts, when he was at his peak (earnings wise). That’s more than enough to fund a very nice lifestyle without ever needing to work again, so long as you aren’t spectacularly stupid with it, which he wasn’t. Supposedly he invested very wisely, I know he owns A LOT of property in London, plus art.

  15. Mike says:

    Ms Hong is very attractive. I don’t know how much money Hugh Grant has but I guess he can afford to buy multiple mansions in London. Not too shabby. He may want to consider a vasectomy however if he plans to sleep around so much.

  16. QQ says:

    The Lesson is: You see an aging Brit actor with a haircut like a late-in-life Lesbian you RUN, DONT WALK the other way.. no matter how old he seems that sperm IS GONNA get you pregnant and he’s gonna release a super cavalier statement about how he knocked you up and how he is “Fond of your baby”

    • I Choose Me says:

      Okay. Mrs. BPitt’s comment almost made me flatline but yours has just finished me off. 😀

    • jaye says:

      I’m okay with his statement. He’s never seemed terribly effusive. And he DID say he loved the little tyke. I will agree that if you want to avoid becoming pregnant by him, you should give him a wide berth. Seems like if you make direct eye contact with him his spermatozoa will get up in there.

  17. Dany says:

    I see nothing wrong with that. That looks like a planned pregnancy-arrangement.
    He´s older now and likely realized that he really wants kids.
    It seems as if these two women feel the same way. There a many stories about people having children with friends because they never found the right person or don´t want to wait longer (or till it is too late) for children.

    • Lisa says:

      Men do have a biological clock. No one bothered to study male fertility much until recently and the studies show that most men have a significant drop by age 40. Some men are fertile throughout their life, but most are not. Depending on the study they have lost 30-50% by age 40, the average time it takes a 40 something to get a woman pregnant is 2 years, regardless of the woman’s age, and the rate of miscarriage for men 35-39 is 20%, regardless of the woman’s age. For men 40 and over it’s 33%.

      Starting in their 30s men get mutations in their sperm that have been linked to several different mental and physical disorders. The older they get, the more mutations they have in their sperm, the higher the risks. For example , the first large scale study of its kind found that half of all cases of Down’s Syndrome are linked to men 40 and over.

      Researchers have just started studying these mutations and don’t know a lot about them yet because their are so many illnesses to research.

  18. Thaisajs says:

    The idea of having unprotected sex with Hugh Grant is so incredibly nasty. His second baby mama is a judge? You’d think she’d be smart enough to insist on a condom.

    • RobN says:

      I don’t find the idea of sex with a hot Englishman especially nasty and it’s the child’s grandmother who is a judge. I don’t think Grandma gets a say in whether you use a condom.

  19. Str8Shooter says:

    Dear Hugh: 1995 called and they want your relevance back!

    • Pixelated says:

      1999 called and they want Notting Hill back.
      (Dear Lord, he was so hot in that movie. He will always be late-30s Hugh Grant to me.)

  20. Tiffany :) says:

    I just can’t imagine getting pregnant 7 months after having another baby. That just seems so physically taxing, not to mention mentally. Wow!

  21. Mika says:

    Is Hugh Grant Jamaican or something…? Cuz damn.

  22. K says:

    The thing about Grant is he’s in a position to ensure he has regular and consistent contact with his kids but no real risk of being cut out OR expected to do his share of the heavy lifting. A marriage, or relationship with an economic equal, and he’d run definite risks of both. This way, he houses them well and presumably affords a comfortable lifestyle, far beyond what they could manage otherwise, and he gets to be a father without sleepless nights or many nappy changes.

    Basically he’s playing the feudal lord somewhat, isn’t he. Still, from the child’s point of view it’s a damn sight more functional than Charlie Sheen’s or Halle Berry’s kids could claim. Civilised, loving and affluent isn’t the worst start to life.
