I dunno, accidents happen. People who didn't necessarily want kids end up with kids all the time because they prefer that to the alternative. And if you were a proud parent then it'd probably be more of a happy announcement and less of a secret or rumor.

Don't get me wrong, OP is silly to think a kid is going to tank some actor's career, but like... I hope they wanted the kid.

Course, accidents happen, and people can regret choices that they made sincerely at the time, and you never know what's going to happen in 5 years.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what that has to do anything, but sure, yeah. (?)

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
maybe he just...doesn't want to flash his private family life all over the news and the internet? like, it's not a binary where either someone loudly blares the news of their impending child to the world OR they don't want it and hate that they/their partner fell pregnant.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, it could be that too. I'm just pointing out we don't know so it's a little early to start congratulating proud parents.

I get that the reaction to OP's secret here is going to be, well, a reaction, and swing wildly in the opposite direction to OP's sentiment, but stuff like "it's 2018, it's reasonable to assume nobody has unwanted children any more, congrats to the parents on the basis of rumors that they might be having a kid" is also going a bit far in the opposite direction imo

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if they're not having a kid, then obviously there's no problem

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Right, but this whole entire thread is being discussed on the chance that they might...? I don't understand what you mean by this.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
k but it's weird that people here are automatically thinking that no public profession of joy and pride probably = unwanted

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not though?

I said, literally, "Does he WANT kids?" That was a question, emphasizing a possibility exists that he may or may not want children. Not an insistence that they were unwanted.

I hope if the child exists, it is wanted! All children should be. :)

Oh, I see what you might be construing as that. My comment about it being a rumor instead of confirmed publicly was a comment responding to the anon saying that "if not told otherwise, we can assume people want the kid," trying to point out that a lack of public comment could go either way.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
ehhhh this has whiffs of tinhat on it

the simplest and most likely answer is that he's happy he's having a child in his long-term relationship and that is something that is for him and his partner, not for his fans. there is no reasonable entitlement saying that he should have to make a big announcement to a bunch of strangers.

(Anonymous) 2018-07-25 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, not a tinhat. I don't even know who we're discussing. I just find the assumption that everybody who has kids, wants kids, to be a common... misconception is the wrong word for it, but an assumption that doesn't hold true a lot of the time? It's not a bad thing if they don't, either, just something no one is bringing up which could be relevant.

Besides, that comment was just a response to the anon claiming that in 2018, you can assume anyone in a committed relationship that has a kid wants one unless they're actively saying they're upset about it. Which didn't sit right with me
