Owen Wilson to become a Dad

[tonks]

wait, fourth grandchildren? andrew has two more kids?? when???!!!

[startip]

Well we for sure know he has a baby that Luke mentioned on Jimmy Kimmel. The other one I only heard about on just Jared.

Tonks - Luke talked about meeting his new nephew, Jack Wilson, way back in the spring on a late night talk show. (I thought it was Letterman but I will defer to Startip who is not only better looking but smarter, too.) Luke jokingly said he referred to the boy as 'Senator' Jack Wilson. Funny boy!

The 'second new baby' unsubstantiated rumor has been seen in comments out on the internet and if you read through the Andrew thread someone visited this board and posted the information here, too. I like to believe it is true just because to me the world can never have enough Sexy Beasts. Ha!

So...I never read the Star but I will post a link with a tiny little photo in the upper right hand corner of a pregnant Jade. And of course they have an exclusive but you have to buy (or stand there and read it in line at the checkout counter) to get all the 411.

They really are laying it on thick here, although I have great respect for Owen for not being a Jude Law type of guy.

Owen Wilson is expecting a son any minute now with his secret, 28-year-old girlfriend Jade Duell — and Star has the first photos of the happy couple!

Owen met Jade Duell, a U.S. air marshal, while en route to film How Do You Know with Reese Witherspoon last year on a flight from L.A. to Washington, D.C. “It was love at first sight,” an insider tells Star.

The parents-to-be are in Hawaii, waiting for their child to arrive. It's clear Owen, 42, has turned his life around since attempting suicide in 2007 — and sources say that it's thanks, at least in part, to his new love. "He's gotten a new lease on life with Jade," the family
insider reveals. "He's come all the way back from the depths of despair to being happier than he ever dreamed possible."

And please don't "jinx" Luke! I haven't gotten to him yet....(well, I've met him once anyway) I need more time!! LOL!

You're closer than me so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Jade apparently met Owen on a plane. That's never worked for me but it was obviously lucky for her. ;D

The London premiere of How Do You Know is next Thursday with Owen listed as attending. I was going to try and see if I could make it on time there to see him, but now I'm thinking that if he's waiting for the baby to arrive then he might not attend. #unsure#

apparently kate Hudson is 14 weeks pregnant. i bet she was jealous of Owen ( i hate kate btw)

[cookie]

Aww, Nana. That old Kate is trying to steal Owen's thunder, isn't she? Booo. (Hahaha!)

We can all rest easy because Owen is going to be very well protected. THE Sexy Beast always had Owen's back and now it seems his baby mamma is one tough cookie, too. Apparently Jade used to be a Supreme Court police officer! This chick sounds pretty cool. I wonder if she is packing heat alongside her baby bump.

Makes you wonder, though. All these smart people and they cannot figure out the (non) complexities of birth control. ;)

The celebrity news outlets have been buzzing for the last couple days with the news that actor Owen Wilson’s girlfriend, Jade Duell, is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

While it’s been reported that Duell, who is a federal air marshal, met Wilson on a plane while he was flying from L.A. to D.C. to film “How Do You Know,” it turns out that Duell’s Washington ties go even deeper.

Duell worked as a Supreme Court police officer a few years back, the Supreme Court’s Public Information Office confirmed to POLITICO on Wednesday. “Jade Duell was an officer on the Supreme Court police force from 2004-2006,” a spokesperson for the Information Office said.

The decidedly non-Tinseltown Duell is a change from the Hollywood starlets like Kate Hudson, Sheryl Crow and Gina Gershon, whom Wilson has dated in the past.

Oh, a little more information. Sounds like somebody copped the Star story from the mag so here are some more (unconfirmed) details, including the name of the baby. Who knows if it true but Ford IS a really cool name.

I actually did wonder if Owen might retire or cut back drastically after all of these recent movies. When I saw all of the published reports of the big bucks he got for just HDYK ($10M) I wondered why he would ever work again. He does not seem to crave the fame and the lifestyle any more.

And she is going to give birth at home??? Yikes! I would be way too chicken. Jade IS one tough cookie. (This Cookie would just crumble. Eeek!)

Some of this writing cracks me up. "Jade even relocated from Virginia to Hawaii to be close to her new man! Aww!" Like that is sooo cute. Heck, yes, she got her butt to Hawaii. Girlfriend won the damn lottery!

And they want the birth to be zen-like. Now THAT is cute. Sounds like something that a man and a first time mom would say. :)

Owen Wilson and his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Duell, are dissing the idea of a hospital delivery. The gorgeous gun-toting air marshal is currently awaiting the birth of their baby, a boy who is due any day now, in Owen’s $8 million house in Maui, Hawaii. “Jade and Owen were both on the same page when they decided to have the baby at home,” the insider tells Star magazine. “They wanted a calm, quiet, soothing atmosphere for their boy. It was very important to Owen that the birth be Zen-like, because now he’s all about tranquility being the key to a healthy life.”

After attempting suicide three years ago, it sounds like Owen has finally found peace with Jade. “Owen has a new lease on life,” a family friend tells the magazine. “He’s come all the way back from the depths of despair to being happier than he ever dreamed possible.” He’ so happy about impending fatherhood that he and Jade have already picked out their son’s name. “They seem to have settled on naming him Ford Linton Wilson,” the friend says. “They both like the name Ford and Jade’s dad’s name is Linton.” Isn’t it nice that they’re keeping a family tradition alive?

The source says it was love at first sight for the 42-year-old actor, who met Jade, 28, while en route from L.A. to Washington, D.C. where he was filming How Do You Know with Reese Witherspoon. “They talked all the way to D.C. — and by the time they landed, Owen said, it was like they’d known each other their whole lives. They exchanged numbers and emails and haven’t gone a day without talking since.” Jade even relocated from Virginia to Hawaii to be close to her new man! Aww!

The impending birth has really changed Owen’s priorities — he’s even considering leaving showbiz for good. “He’s cool with being a movie star, but he knows that he’s going to love being a dad,” the insider says. “And if everything else were to disappear, being Dad is good enough for him.”

Cookie, I can't access that link as I'm outside the UK which usually isn't a problem with other magazine sites, but I've found this link for a site which seems to have taken their story from the same article minus the picture. I'm sure tomorrow or tonight other pictures will surface. I can't believe the baby's name though, Ford Linton? It sounds like a cowboy's name from a John Wayne western. And some of the talk from 'sources' seems too romanticised to be believable especially when I remember some of the Facebook info around the time of the filming of The Big Year etc.

Ford Linton? No - but so weird it could be true, and still when he finally arrives I will say ...... #welcome#

Lonegazer - Hahaha! This is the second or third time we have been on posting the same thing at the same time. All those miles apart!

Of course, your posts do not have my annoying commentary....

[lonegazer]

And the same link too! But never mind doubling the post is just as good. A lot of the article sounds a bit too Mills and Boon so we'll have to see as time goes on.

[hutchshottie]

This is unexpected but wonderful news. Owen deserves happiness and it looks like he is well on the way.

I wonder if he will propose?

Either way, I am so happy for him

[nana]

looking forward to the baby's birth!!! we willl then know if Ford Linton is the name....

[sabina]

It only appears that I am late to the party ;D but, in fact, my girlfriend in Illinois phoned me at work(!) on Tuesday to tell me this news of Owen. We both wondered if we should believe it or not, thinking it might be another Owen-is-dead sort of thing.

Well, obviously, it is credible! We'll also know soon enough the baby's name as it is sure to be announced in the fan mags.

Cookie, I think it was you who has mentioned bcp's or contraception? I know what you're saying but it looks like this pregnancy was planned - or at least welcomed early in the game. At least I sure hope that's true, and I'm delighted to know that Owen is happy and excited for this baby and has every intention of being a "totally involved father."

I'm also glad Jade is a mature professional woman, not a 19-year-old trophy girl. That speaks volumes for Owen's taste and values. And a U.S. air marshall no less!!

I am about to begin changing professions, but I'd like to know how does one become a U.S. air marshall. #wink# Ha, just kidding. They'd never accept me; I'm too old.

Wow, it must be marvelous to be loved by Owen!

Er, it must be marvelous to be loved!

[sabina]

P.S. Baby's name: uh, Wilson? I guess that means Owen & Jade have married, or else Owen is adopting his child so that the baby will have his name.

But we'll find out soon enough via the fan mags.

[tonks]

why? here if the father recognize the child it doesn´t matter if the couple is married, is it different there?
