Apparently he kept this a big secret for that majority of his girlfriend's pregnancy. I just saw on E! that she already had the baby and that it was a boy. No word on a name yet.


Also, actress Alicia Silverstone is pregnant. I'm not sure if its her first child or not, she's been married for many years though. In the picture on E she looked to be about five or six months along.

Congrats to Owen/Jade and Alicia and her hubby. Congrats to Jewel/Ty as well.
 
This is Alicia Silverstone first.

The 34-year-old actress, best known for her role as ditzy high schooler Cher Horowitz in the 1995 hit Clueless, married the 40-year-old Jarecki, frontman for punk outfit S.T.U.N., in Lake Tahoe in June 2005. The couple have been together since 1997.

But... "gestational carrier"? I've never heard that term before. Isn't it usually surrogate? Is this just a fancy term or was there something more involved than what is usually involved in surrogacy? :confused:

Yep pretty much, the baby is totally theirs she was just the carrier, Gestational Carrier = Surrogate. :)
