If you believe in Jesus, (which obviously most of you don’t) then having a baby out of wedlock is spiritually wrong. It’s Hollywood that makes it ok for the rich and famous, but when pregnancy happens to the less fortunate, it paints a different picture. Halle does know the pain of being divorced (twice I might add), but is she basing those failed marriages on what she thinks might happen again with she and Gabriel (who cares)?. She’ll have the same pain (I hope she doesn’t) if something were to happen to them; just won’t cost her anything financially.

cnn.com says shes due in march…and so am I!

I didn’t mean that Halle wasn’t ready for a commitment, I was more referring to people like Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams who decided to have a baby right away and then were engaged forever but couldn’t go through with it. Maybe they were wrong for each other, but shouldn’t they have taken some time to figure that out before having a baby together? I’m sure some of these pregnancies were surprises, but some of them weren’t (obviously Halle has been planning her baby for years).

Anyway, my comments were not directed towards Halle at all – she has made it clear she does not want to be married again.

Natalie – It is none of your business if that get married. Getting married is not a guarantee that the couple will stay married. In fact from I have seen in hollywood it almost seems MORE likely that a couple will stay together if they aren’t married. I wonder what the divorce rate is in hollywood? The Divorce rate in general is something like 50% or something, I bet it is higher in hollywood. If I could name the couples that have stayed together the longest in hollywood I would say the unmarried ones!

No matter what the choose though it is their business.

Great point PSB, about the baby being just as big a commitment. Leigh, I agree with your entire post, and am glad you chose to say so in a non-confrontational manner.

Morgan – I agree that a lot of these comments seem a little rude. When I was halfway through my pregnancy, I was in China, and the little Chinese ladies kept saying to me, “Are you sure you’re only having one?” “You’re ONLY 4 months?” etc. I was in tears after my trip. What pregnant woman (or ANY woman for that matter) wants to hear from perfect strangers that she’s looking bigger than they think she should be?

I think Halle looks great. She’s got a cute little bump, and the rest of her is still very trim and toned. And good grief the woman is beautiful!

PSB, I think it’s not an issue of them ‘not being ready’ but rather them shunning the institution of marriage. After her two failed marriages, I find it somewhat understandable she would have no desire to do so. Halle looks incredible, I’m so happy for her and Gabriel(who is so very good looking!)

PSB- Halle never said that she “doesn’t feel ready” for marriage. She simply said that she will “never marry again”. Keep in mind that Halle has been married twice before. Therefore, she obviously knows what it’s like to be married. I am guessing that she doesn’t want to go through all the pain that she went through with her first two marriages all over again.

As for the comments about Halle possibly having twins…Keep in mind that, toward the end of Naomi Watts’ pregnancy, nearly everyone was sure she was having twins…But she only had the one baby! Like a previous poster stated, every woman carries differently.

Also, as another poster has stated, Halle DOES have diabetes, and women with diabetes often give birth to bigger babies than women who don’t have diabetes. Anyway, I feel kind of sorry for Halle right now. If I were her, I’d hate to hear that people think I’m so huge, I MUST be having twins!

For me personally I believe in marriage because I’m a bit old fashion, but the way the divorce rate now is especially with celebrities, I see nothing wrong with halle at 41 having a baby with a bf she has been with for 2yrs and a child she has wanted for a very long time. Even if they don’t work out halle still has her baby and I heard gabriel grew up in foster homes and was always looking forward to being a dad, to share a family bond, so i’m sure both of them will raise their child the best they can. There is no guarntee just because they would marry they will stay together, and they maay never marry yet stay together, look at goldie hawn and kurt russell. Brad and angelina aren’t married, and people don’t ask in their posts why do they keep having kids without marriage, they just say what a beautiful family.

I think she’s farther along than three months or having twins. Maybe she waited until after a CVS or amnio to announce her pregnancy? MANY women in their late-30’s and above do this because of the increased risk of fetal abnormalities. She may have wanted to wait until she knew the baby would be healthy before telling people. If she waited until the amnio, then she’s 18-20 weeks pregnant, which looks about right.

RE: Natalie

I don’t really care if Halle is married or not, but it always amuses me when people claim they aren’t ready to commit to marriage but then have a baby together. Isn’t a baby a much much bigger life-long commitment? Marriages can be dissolved, but a baby connection is for life. It’s one thing if you don’t believe in the legal bonds of marriage, and choose to “marry” in your own way— but to not feel ready to marry but feel ready to have a baby with somebody is really weird.

i think it is sort of rude for people to assume that she MUST be having twins because she looks farther along then you think she should. Could you imagine being 3 months pregnant and a strangers saying “WOW you MUST be having twins, your HUGE!!” it’s not cool, its insulting!

i actually think she looks quite tiny and compact.
