Nesbitt, 58, is back on nappy duty – for another man’s baby!
BECOMING a father again at 58 is not everyone’s retirement fantasy.
But James Nesbitt has thrown himself into the new responsibility, and perhaps gone above and beyond – by reportedly helping to raise the baby his girlfriend had with another man.
The Cold Feet star briefly split from 40-year-old actress Katy Gleadhill two years ago. She then became pregnant with another man – who is the registered father – and gave birth to a girl last year, it is claimed.
Nesbitt is now believed to be close to Ms Gleadhill again and helping to raise the baby. A source told The Sun: ‘James is an amazing guy. Being with Katy is what matters to him and he understands the baby is part of that.
‘Most men probably think their nappy-changing days are behind them by 58, but he’s getting stuck in again. It’s definitely a very modern set-up, but everyone is happy and that’s all that matters.’
Nesbitt’s representatives declined to comment yesterday. He already has daughters Peggy, 25, and Mary, 22, with ex-wife Sonia Forbes-Adam, to whom he was married for 22 years before splitting in 2013.
Nesbitt and Ms Gleadhill were first linked in 2015, despite his insistence that she was not his girlfriend. Soon after she claimed she was married to Nesbitt after a bouncer refused to let her into an awards party – despite him having yet to divorce his wife.
At the time it was reported that a ‘sheepish’ Nesbitt soon emerged at the event and Ms Gleadhill was ushered inside, where she was heard ‘reprimanding’ the star for leaving her outside ‘for half an hour’.
