Now Hugh’s a 5 by 2 father ... and it’s his ex-girlfriend Liz who revealed the news!
hugh grant has become a father for the fifth time – aged 57.
The star’s girlfriend Anna Eberstein gave birth to their third child last week.
And it wasn’t the actor himself who made the good news public, but his exgirlfriend Liz hurley.
The actress, who dated the Four Weddings star for 13 years, revealed the latest addition to his brood on television.
She said grant – who also has two children by receptionist Tinglan hong – had been ‘transformed’ since becoming a father. Asked whether she was surprised by the number of children he’d had, she said: ‘he had another one last week.
‘he has five. he was over 50 when he spawned them all.’ Appearing on uS show Watch What happens Live with Andy Cohen, the 52-year- old added: ‘he’s an enchanting dad. Really, really sweet.
‘having these kids has transformed him from a very miserable person into a fairly miserable person,’ she said. ‘It’s improved him. he’s gone up the scale.’
The gender of the baby has not been confirmed, but in January Miss Eberstein’s mother Susanne hinted that it would be a girl, saying: ‘She’s due rather soon.’
grant, who has never married, has Tabitha, six, and five-year-old Felix from his relationship with Chinese restaurant receptionist Miss hong. he and Swedish TV producer Miss Eberstein, 39, already have two children together.
The oldest, five-year-old John, was born just three months before Felix. The other is a girl aged two. Earlier this year he described fatherhood as ‘the nicest thing’ ever to happen to him, adding: ‘Suddenly you love someone more than yourself.’ Representatives of grant and Miss hurley were approached for a comment last night.
