A Sibling For The First Baby

[Blind Gossip] This baby situation is odd.

This famous man always knew that he wanted to be a father, but it wasn’t until he was well past 30 that he actually did something about it.

He wound up striking an agreement with an attractive woman for her to carry his baby.

Although they were not really a couple, she was fine with the idea of being linked to a famous actor. They would play a couple for the outside world and her compensation was generous.

They agreed that they would have joint custody of the child once the relationship ended.

Unfortunately, their breakup was ugly. They now barely communicate except when it comes to handing off instructions about the child. Even then, they prefer to have intermediaries handle it.

Here’s the odd part: He wants another child… and he wants that child to be a full sibling to the first baby!

Thus, his ex would have to be the biological mother to the second child.

We really don’t know how this would work. Although they share the one child, the ex-couple don’t even like each other at this point.

Would they pretend to be a couple again? That would be very awkward.

Would she even carry the second child herself? If she does, that likely means she would get joint custody of the second baby, too.

Would he simply pay her for her eggs and have a gestational surrogate carry the baby to term using the donor eggs? He might still have some explaining to do if the second child looks identical to the first.

There are clearly a lot of logistical and legal issues to work out.

Let’s see if the first baby winds up with a sibling in the next couple of years!

    Bradley baby half sibling can be VERY close. Buy an egg, go surrogate, get a few nannies but nail down those ND agreements, iron clad, very, very important and voila problem solved!

    Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk. I am sure they will have in place a fair agreement if she agrees to do this as getting pregnant and being pregnant is no little thing. Probably a good idea to get a surrogate but she still needs to provide the egg and then she would have another child to rear with a man she can’t stand. I wouldn’t do it if I was her.

    The only person who came to mind when I first read this was Jeremy Renner because of the ugly split, but it felt wrong. His daughter is 7. That’s a weird age to go back and revisit an emergency sibling. Plus, Jeremy and Sonni Pacheco were actually married, which would be a weird decision for a fake arrangement.

    Bradley Cooper for the win here. Sounds like the couple was never married, and his daughter is the age where you’d start thinking about a sibling.

    Irina and Bradley- Does she know he’s gay? I would assume so but would really like to know.

    It doesn’t matter if they are full or half siblings, as long as there is a healthy, supportive, safe, loving environment for them to grow up in with 2 loving parents even if they are not together.

    Goes hand in hand with Khloe wanting another baby by Tristan barf Thompson. Who cares half or full siblings- don’t get with the dad again to have a baby just for the full blood sake.

    Bradley Cooper & Irina Shrayk

    I didn’t know that BCoop was married to Jennifer Esposito.

  19. ChattyCat says

    I don’t know but if Harry Styles needs practice making babies let him know I’m available.

  21. mlthom23 says

    Either Jeremy Renner or Bradley Cooper. I cannot imagine how this would work but I suppose for enough money anything is possible.

  26. Whisper says

    Bradley Cooper and Irina.
    How about we barr rich people from have children. There’s always a problem no matter how many “normal” appearing photo ops they do or how great they spin their relationships in the media like photographing kids doing charity work. I don’t think you can raise a healthy rich kid.

    Bradley Cooper and his ex-wife Whatshername.

    No, bad idea. He’s got all sorts of trouble with just the one child, it’ll be quadruple the problems with #2.

  31. tundrapetal says

    Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk. Instead of a cold seeming model, he should choose an attractive scientist or something? When non famous people look for donors they look for a mixture of qualities. Also half siblings would be just as close. I would just be honest or say it was a fling with someone who doesn’t want to be named.

  37. aaaPanda says

    I think it is Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk, but the clue ‘well past 30’ should probably read more like ‘in his 40s’, so maybe it’s someone else

  39. DDCASK says

    Bradley Cooper and Irina S?
    As long as the kids are loved, it’s their choice.
    He could claim they had a reunion one nighter and Irina got pregnant! (but really using artificial means!)

    Couple: Bradley Cooper & Irina Shayk

    [Optional] Is this a good idea? What should the actor do? I could/would not have a child with someone I didn’t like. Maybe he should try finding someone he can commit to first before having another kid…

  41. spunkymonkey says

    Jeremy Renner and Sonni Pacheco

    It doesn’t sound like the relationship is conducive to healthy co-parenting. Family isn’t all about being full blooded relations.

  44. BDBoop says

    Ooh! Jeremy Renner? His life, their decision. If they do it, hopefully she just donates eggs. I know – just. It’s not that easy. But if he can get her to sign off on parental rights, and pays a better-than-going rate (Lord knows he can afford it), it just might work.

  51. MpressMe says

    Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk

    It’s a good thought. Blood IS thicker than water. Unfortunately, because he is rumored to be gay, the odds of him getting into a true heterosexual relationship that would produce at least a half-sibling are pretty unlikely.

  52. trainerguy46 says

    Bradley and Iraina incredibly weird and why did a fake relationship go south so badly?

  62. Borzoi B says

    Not a good idea it’s a child not some sort of fashion accessory!
    Couple Bradley Cooper and his beautiful Beard Irina Shayk ! Just come out Bradley we are not fooled .

  65. ZaaZaa says

    Uuuuugh, Rob Kardashian. He needs to get physically healthy and his goal should be to also have a healthy relationship if he wants more children. THAT would be the best for his child NOT so important that they are bio siblings. My PO.

  68. seagazer says

    Couple: Bradley and Irina
    Good idea? No
    What should the actor do? Come out of the closet.

  72. Jthenurse says

    Couple: Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk. What should he do? Whatever he wants- it’s clear the faux girlfriend, baby, gestational carriers, and even the children are merely possessions to be obtained for show. Money can truly buy anything!

  76. kellyp says

    I’m going to go with Jeremy Renner, although Bradley Cooper is an option as well.

    I don’t think blood is that important. And if you already have a bad relationship with your baby mama, it won’t improve it….just adopt on your own!

    Bradley Cooper &
    Irina Shayk

    It’s nice to have the sibs as full blooded sibs, & yes, I think it’s the best option for the kids, but yikes, this situation sounds extremely techey. I can’t see it working out with Irina. But, who knows, maybe she wants a 2nd child & could put aside her rancor too? If he goes with her, I think it would be wiser to use a reputable surrogate to carry the baby to term.

    If he is in a steady relationship with a guy, why not have a kid with him?

  79. darnda says

    bradley cooper and irina shayk

    it doesn’t matter if his second child shares the same dna as his first, he should use donated eggs and a surrogate and keep it simple

  86. Gem216 says

    My first thought was Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes…..but he was a father before Suri with his adopted children with Nicole Kidman

  89. MrsCleaver says

    Bradley Cooper & his baby mama model ex.
    While I like the idea of kids having both the same parents, they were so messy in their breakfup, is it really worth it? I don’t think so. Find another lady Brad. Maybe Gaga?

  90. Baileygirl says

    Bradley Cooper and that model he paid to have his child-Irina Shayk or something like that.
    She will want to parlay a second child into a BIG payday. He will go for a second full-sibling for the first child.
    Is it a good idea? A better idea would have been to at least LIKE the future mother of his children. She sounds like a nightmare.
    He should get her pregnant the old fashioned way. If not, his children will find out the story and the second child will feel less because of it.

  101. VegetableLasagna says

    Bradley Cooper & Irina Shayk

    Not a good idea, she’s going to milk him for an ungodly amount of money in child support unless he can get some sort of ironclad legal agreement.

    If he really wants another baby, he should adopt.

  103. rayodeplata says

    Sounds like Jeremy Renner and Sonni Pacheco

    Terrible idea. Being siblings is about more than shared DNA.
