Hugh Grant Welcomes Fling Baby

In a refreshingly honest statement, Hugh Grant’s spokesperson confirmed yesterday that the actor is a first-time father following “a fleeting affair.” Despite the fact that his new baby was “not planned,” the rep says, Grant is “delighted” and “could not be happier or more supportive.” Grant’s daughter was born in late September; the Telegraph reports that the mother is rumored to be 19-years-younger Chinese actress Tinglan Hong. The actor, 51, is on “very friendly terms” with the baby’s mother, the rep notes. (More Hugh Grant stories.)
