Remember the time Vincent Kartheiser said he wouldn’t have children in the name of saving the environment? Seems a lot has changed since 2010, because this Mad Men star is now a dad!
Out of the blue comes baby news from the 37-year-old star and wife Alexis Bledel, who wed 2012. The pair, who began dating in 2012 after meeting on the hit show, have welcomed a baby boy according to E! News.
Scott Patterson, Alexis’ Gilmore Girls co-star, spilled the baby beans while talking about the upcoming revival of their show.
“It was great to see her. She’s really blossomed as a woman and now she’s a proud new mother and married and happy,” he told Glamour.
“I remember her as an 18-year-old kid, fresh out of college coming into Hollywood and being a little overwhelmed. She’s just the most likeable, intelligent person and adorable human being. She hasn’t changed at all. She looks the same.”
He continued, “We’re comparing notes because my son is about a year and a half older than her young son. I’m showing her photos and videos and what to expect. We’re just really enjoying each other’s company.”
It was six years ago that the man many of us recognize as Pete Campbell spoke out about his plans to be childless by choice, stating, “I’ve been a vegetarian for four years and I have chosen not to have children, which are both green choices in my life.”
Fans of either Vincent or Alexis likely aren’t surprised her pregnancy was kept under wraps, as the couple have chosen to largely remain out of the spotlight. After stating he prefers simple living as opposed to the extravagant celebrity lifestyle, the pair wed in 2014 in a top-secret ceremony — and it isn’t likely we’ll find out anymore details about the little guy soon, including his name.
Might I suggest Don (or Dick) all the same?
As someone who at one point as a teenager didn’t picture herself having child, then welcomed two by age 25, I say a hearty congratulations to these two stars. There are plenty of green choices a parent still can make, and I hope that despite Vincent’s earlier stance they enjoy the heck out of being mom and dad.
In your experience, do those who plan not to have kids stick to it or change their minds more often?
