British actor Hugh Grant has become a father for the first time at the age
of 51, although he is giving little away about the birth of his baby girl.


The Bridget Jones's Diary and About A Boy star said the birth followed a
brief relationship.

The mother was named in reports as Chinese actress Tinglan Hong.

Last month Miss Hong was pictured heavily pregnant as she strolled around
London in a baggy pink and white top and cream cardigan.

She is reported to have given birth by Caesarean section at London's Portland
Hospital on September 26.

He and the mother had a fleeting affair and while this was not planned, Hugh
could not be happier or more supportive.

Statement from
Hugh Grant's publicist


A statement from his publicist said: "I can confirm that Hugh Grant is the
delighted father of a baby girl.

"He and the mother had a fleeting affair and while this was not planned, Hugh
could not be happier or more supportive.

"He and the mother have discussed everything and are on very friendly
terms."

This is the first child for the actor, who has had previous high-profile
relationships with model Elizabeth Hurley and British socialite Jemima Khan.

He recently became a champion for the Hacked Off campaign launched in the
wake of the phone hacking scandal.

The actor will next voice the role of a captain in an animated pirate movie
and is due to appear alongside Hollywood stars Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in a
big-screen adaptation of David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas next year.

I used to think he was a closet Gay.
