Dude, fatherhood is totally awesome!
New dad Owen Wilson opened up for the first time about his son Robert Ford, nearly 6 weeks, on Tuesday's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

"I'm glowing," the Hall Pass actor, 42, said of his baby boy with girlfriend Jade Duell, born in Hawaii on Jan. 14.
The star baby is a "very cute little boy and he's doing well," Wilson said. "It's very exciting!"

Although Robert Ford takes his name from his grandfather (Wilson's dad Robert), "he'll probably go by 'Ford,'" the actor said.
The laid-back comic star admitted he's a little tuckered out like all new parents.

"What they say about newborns and not getting a lot of sleep, that's true," he told Jay Leno. "You look at every place as a potential nap place. I'm looking at this couch, maybe at commercial break, [I'll take a] little shut-eye there!"
Tell Us What You Think
7I can't blame either one of them for hiding out. Those tabloid reporters are freaking crazy! I wouldn't want them chasing me around while I was pregnant. He's excited about his baby. That's wonderful. He also wants to keep certain things private. Can't blame him for that either.
Yes, I guess SOME people would believe everything they read on Twitter & FB. lol Case in point: lying about where you live on FB! This man's life w/ his girlfriend is none of my business and doesn't affect my life in anyway, so whatever. People are rather judgmental when it comes to the lives of others. Perhaps it was the girlfriend's choice to be out of the spotlight for those 8 mos. Only small-minded people who don't actually know them would speculate that he was "hiding" her. Did he have her bound & gagged somewhere? She's an adult...I'm pretty sure she'd be able to break free if he was "hiding" her. lol
His infidelities are all over Twitter and facebook. As far as being in Cuckoo, Va - I don't live there. I just picked the name because it was funny!
Now, now, Alex Smythe. You state your "facts" like you actually witnessed Owen's infidelities. Soooo, I look to confirm you're from L.A., and lo and behold, you are from CUCKOO, VA! LMAO That couldn't have been more hysterical! Anyway, since you are off your rocker there in CUCKOO, we now see that none of your comments have any merit. Thanks for the laugh though!
love him, bet he's going to be the BEst DAD!
Well, I'm happy for Owen. He tried to end his life last year, and now he's a dad. What a difference a years makes.
This guy is such a hypocritical jerk! First he hides his pregnant gf away for eight months, boo-hooing that he wants privacy. Now that a tabloid caught him - all that privacy stuff goes right out the window and he's on tv talking about the baby to promote his lousy movie. Also, he's cheating on his poor nobody gf left and right. He was while she was pregnant and he STILL is - he was just caught making out with a chick in L.A. the night before he did this interview!
