Hugh Grant's tangled love life and path to contentment
For many years, British actor Hugh Grant had a reputation as a ladies' man and playboy. His popularity in romantic comedies made women swoon over him, especially since he played clumsy and sensitive men on screen. Meanwhile, in real life, two women were simultaneously pregnant with his children. One of them is his wife today.
In the 90s, Grant dated beautiful actresses, including Elizabeth Hurley, whom he publicly humiliated in 1995 when he was arrested for having sex with a prostitute in a car in Hollywood. The actor later confessed that he was very disappointed after watching his Hollywood debut in "Nine Months," which led him to vent his anger in such a way. Hurley forgave him, and they eventually parted ways five years later, ending a 13-year relationship.
Hugh Grant: His children and lovers
In 2011, Grant was smitten by Tinglan Hong, a 19-year-old worker at a Chinese restaurant. The infatuation was so strong that she gave birth to his first child. A year later, the actor became a father for the second time, but with another woman: Swedish television producer Anna Eberstein (also 19 years younger).
Three months later, Tinglan Hong gave birth to his third child again. This means that both of Grant's partners were pregnant with his children simultaneously. Ultimately, the British film star left Hong and chose the Swede, who forgave his infidelities. What's more, she gave birth to two more children for him. Today, Hugh Grant has five children, whom he raised with two women. In interviews, he jokes that he is "too old for his children" (becoming a father for the first time at 51) and now works to support them.
Hugh Grant: Marriage for a passport?
Eight years ago, Grant and Eberstein got married. A rumour gained popularity online that the actor decided to marry a Swede so that he could have a European passport. The rumours reached the film heartthrob, who even decided to deny them on Twitter.
Today, Grant appears to be a happy and settled man (with a second family "on the side"). He is currently promoting his new film, the horror "Heretic," which is receiving excellent reviews.
Other well-known Grant films include, of course, the Christmas classic "Love Actually" and romantic comedies: "Two Weeks Notice," "Four Weddings and a Funeral," and the "Bridget Jones" series.
