Owen Wilson's going to be a dadWe're not sure what was in the water or the air on the set of Woody Allen's upcoming "Midnight in Paris," but Owen Wilson is another one of the movie's stars expecting a new arrival. "Owen Wilson and Jade Duell are happy to be expecting a baby,” a rep for the 42-year-old actor confirmed to CNN. This will be the first child for Wilson, who has been with his girlfriend Duell for more than a year, according to Entertainment Weekly. Along with another expectant star, Marion Cotillard, Wilson can next be seen in “Midnight in Paris” along with “Cars 2” and the Farrelly brothers' “Hall Pass.”

I wish he and Jade the best. I love all his movies. He had dated some wild high profile people. In Jade being a police officer or a former police officer makes me like and respect him more. Best of luck to you Owen and your new family!
I am happy for them. I admire Owen for not fixing is nose. He looks like what he is, a real person not some plastic doll. People who keep bringing up his nose are just plain ignorant.
Hopefully his kid actually was a result of a sperm donor. Otherwise, a child will born with a nose 100x greater than his/her acting skills.
In a perfect world, the mothers of Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller would get retroactive abortions. Those guys couldn't act if their lives depended on it.
So, are we to believe that a guy who tried to commit suicide a year ago is ready to become a real father to a child with a woman that he's been going with for 9 months? Really? Is it any wonder that celebs are insecure, drunks, dopers, paranoid, and altogether living in a fantasy world!
so I guess he won't be trying to kill himself again now that he has something to live for, right?
congratulations!
Congrats-and good luck
Congrats?
I wouldn't be to sure a year is enough to recover from an attempted suicide to be mentally and emotionally capable to raise a kid-but hey, everyone is different I guess.
WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The BEST news from this story is that they're (FINALLY!!) coming out with 'CARS 2'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Oh My!. I see you are a realist as well. Thanks for the reality check to the ones that don't have a clue! "The Times" ha ha!
Good for him. Just make sure he doesn't decide to do himself in for whatever reason. Also, I hope the mom waits until the kid has stopped growing before giving the kid a nose job.
I hope he wants to have a kid. Becoming a father was the best thing that ever happened to me, next to gettng married. But it's not for everyone. Congratulations and good luck to him!
Wait... I didn't know he got married... weird. I must have missed that part.
I lost the love of my life at age 21 (I am 64) and have never forgotten the pain I felt. however, I married a wonderful man and had 2 children and have lived a very full life. give it time michelle, you have a lovely little girl to rear.
I wonder if the baby's conception involved melted butter, a librarian, and burning down a living room?
Owen's having a baby. Yayyyy, now I can die happy. Such an important, newsworthy event. When's the parade?
why is everyone being so hateful toward owen? how would you like it if everyone started saying things like that about you? and its not always the fathers walking out on the kids some mothers do it too. i know this for a fact as my stepsons mother walked out on him not his father. and there really isnt such a thing as normal anymore however while relationships of the same gender are wrong in gods eyes i will not look down my nose at them as though i were better than them as im not perfect either and neither are you so stop acting like you are!
Ol spunker and john and also mike are ignorant as hell
I dont care what anybody says i love all of his movies.congrats
I don't mind him too much ... but he needs to be careful not to fall into endless "man-child" roles like the tiresome Adam Sandler. It's time he excommunicates himself from the church of Wes Anderson before it's too late.
You'll see – this ponce will 'come down' with postpartum depression and end up offing the mother and kid before, unsuccessfully, turning on himself.
But is he going to be a deadbeat dad?
Who cares about his past, or that he's not married? Children are God's greatest blessing, n maybe a child will give him a greater appreciation for his life than before. I'm happy for him, n anybody who sees the negatives rather than the positives needs help themselves. Somebody's past, morals, or values is not the business of anybody's but their own. Grow up n get over it.
Who is this guy?
How can you not love the nose,....? Especially when it looks to have a cute little ass on the end of it. Funny dude, the kid is gonna grow up aces...
I can see how important this news is. Owen Wilson, the nut job is going to be a daddy. Last week Major Dick Winters a DSC decorated WW2 veteran, and survivor of Normandy, Bastogne, Operation Market Garden, and liberator of a Nazi concentration camp, died, and nary a word said about that. His dying wish was to keep his funeral private from outside scrutiny.He was a giant of a man with a humble heart.
oh cool, maybe he wont slit his wrists anymore.
Didn't he just try to kill himself a year ago?
Great, just what the world needs... another attention deprived whack job.
I bet he is getting married because she likes chips. I know for a fact that Owen loves chips, and so do I. I really enjoy eating chips daily. Go Chips!
yall petty for trying to get at him for mistakes in his past. im happy for him and i wish him and his familythe best. oh btw the nose jokes are so not funny
Follow your nose...It always knows!!
Owen Wilson made it in the movies with his nose n all! Why is everyone hating on him? Congratulations to him n his girlfriend!! Wish both of them the best.
The correct spelling is,"arithmetic"......Who is the dork?
Use your dictionary. Who's the "dork." It IS arithmEtic.
Since when does a wedding stop a family from breaking up? Check out those stats...
WOW!!! It really worries me how quickly people throw out their negative and hateful thoughts for a complete stranger! I mean I'm not a love the world and let's all hug a tree person but come on people this is what is wrong with this world. I'd you're this hateful of a complete stranger who had some demons in his past but is now seeing some light. I think you need to take a good look at yourselves and your own attiudes and find out why you are being so cruel! Its just not necessary!
Awsome!!! Congratz and welcome to the club Owen!!!
Congratz to owen and his girlfriend in thier baby news! owen is a great comedic actor and i think he is adorable..for people who want to make fun of him because of pass issues...please get over it..im sure everyone has had at least one suicidal thought in thier head once in their life. he and his gf im sure have taken the steps nessacary to having a healthy mindset especially with thier baby news
You know: Jackie Chan's sidekick in "Shanghi Noon," Vince Vaughn's sidekick in "Wedding Crashers," Kate Hudson's ex-boyfriend, Luke Wilson's brother. Luke's the cute one but they each have enough "nose" for two people. LOL!
This guy is deranged to think anyone cares enough about him or his nose. Great actor? Yes! But he tried to kill himself a year ago and it seems a little odd that all of a sudden he's gonna be a dad? I say no on proposition owen!
Having a baby, for him, is not appropriate. He is not well because of his suicide attempt and being unstable.
You know him so well... He couldn't possibly be better yet... Right? Because you still weren't well after 7 stints in rehab? Everybody else is the same, right?
Oh WOW! You're SO deep! Comparing marriage and stoning. Get real. Thankfully marriage hasn't been altogether obliterated!
Who cares about the guys nose? Owen is a great actor and funny as hell. I think that it is great that he is happy and is going to have a family now. Good for him!
I am happy things are better for him. I love his nose, and I am happy he left it alone. BUT, my big gripe is that this story in on CNN;s Latest News !! The story is at least four days old. CNN is getting stale for me, anyone know of another good news site, that keeps things current??
It's in Entertainment section, you self-righteous toad. Get off your high-horse – you came here to read it and then took the time to comment. Stop trying to 'sound smart' by talking about 'real news'. You've failed. You don't like CNN, real simple – leave. Or aren't you THAT smart?
And best wishes to you, too, Marin. You are either a CNN groupie, or a grinch! I did not say REAL news, I said OLD news. And it is on the the left side of main page, under Latest News. Go find your specs, grannie. You are real touchy piece of work!! I picture you as a 55 saggy- boob cheer leader for CNN ! LOL
Cancel the cheerleader thing, Marin. I just figured out you are the managing editor for the home page, and don't like criticism of not doing your job. Step aside and let someone take over for you, hon. Self- righteous prig!
Yep – a defensive moron. Thanks for proving the point.. and proving you can't read OR follow directions.
How about clearing your cache or refreshing the page? Maybe Hollywood is having a slow news week and/or this is interesting to some people?
Children children children please, let's play nice. (Or is that nicely?)
I guess the guy's not a h0mo afterall...
Why is everyone always so "jumpy" to argue on comment sections? Seriously? You people are worse than a 2 year old!! GROW UP!!
congratulations to Mr. Buttnose
Can't everyone just be happy for him and his nose?
Congrats to the Butterscotch Stallion!
It looks like Jade Duell will now have two kids to take care of.
He will sniff that baby poo and want to kill himself...He is such a loser..terrible actor.
He won't have to sniff it – the Nanny will!
I wish you nothing but Blessing Owen you seem to have found your Match in life and now you are being Blessed with a child. We trully have a Awsome God you and your New Family will always be in my prayers. God Bless to you and your New Family
Finally someone with some true wisdom. A child is a blessing from God and he has been given another chance to have a reason to live.
Wow! He has been with his girlfriend a whole year...what took them so long. I like Owen Wilson, but really...the article makes it sound like a really long time! LOL
You may feel extremely commited to your girlfriend and child. But do please look around at the children suffering from parents who DONT take commitment seriously. Marriage is SUPPOSED to be the ultimate commitment. Most people don't take IT serious anymore either. If you really are that commited that you wouldn't even think of leaving...why not "put a ring on it," as they say, and give your lady and child your name?
I'm really happy you capitalized 'supposed' because it just isn't how everyone looks at it. I'm not trying to convince people that my look on marriage is the right way or others is the wrong way, I'm only trying to make a point that having a child while not being married doesn't automatically mean abandonment. Regardless of marriage or not, there are just people who are not made out to be good fathers.
Sorry but he plays the same character in almost all his movies.... It's boring. Vince Vahn is following the same road. So is Kevin James and Jennifer Aniston. yuck
Is it really news when a person precreates? I think this may have already happened to the tune of billions of times.
No, but it's funny when a person uses a made up word. Try prOcreates.
It's called BIOLOGY. No more, no less.
What is up with his freakish nose? That honker is one wierd looking appendage. Is this a botched nose job like Michael Jackson?
hopefully a child will make it so he doesn't have suicidal thoughts anymore
Who is Owen Wilson?
Obviously, you were curious enough to look at the story, so I think you DO know and are attempting (lamely) to be funny.
HOPE THE BABY DOESN'T GET HIS NOSE.
congrats to dem da haterz fall baq!!
Perhaps it would be a good idea to get married.
Why? Just so they can get divorced later?
Why does 'not being married' mean 'abandoning the child'? My girlfriend and I are not married and we have a fabulous son together and I would never even think about leaving either one of them. Please realize that love and commitment does not start with a marriage certificate.
Maybe now, he'll finally be able to beat Magnum.
I liked this comment so, so much. <3 Hansel-He's so hot right now.
I love this guy. I think he is a great actor. I bet he will make a great father.
I wish them nothing but happiness...mental stability and commitment to their relationship of "over a year".

To Barry: Yeah, that's a good one: "Get with the times!" The "Times" when most guys want to fool around and are too big of Wusses to accept responsibility for their actions? The "Times" when single moms are left fighting for child support and trying to work and raise a child alone? The "Times" when children are left without the love and nurturing from a much needed dad in their lives? And you think it's cool to "Get with it?" What an irresponsible "Dick head!" You need a reality check!
You don't have to be married to be responsible
Check yourself, not everyone believes in this old-aged marriage bullcrap. Are we still stoning people to death?? Get with the times Oh My
...haha...as if the mother has NO responsibility in getting pregnant? Very stupid post.
To ss: responsibility is a big word, and unfortunately many adults won't step to the plate, when it comes to having children and raising them. This is what's wrong with the world today: kids have no father, no morals instilled in them, etc.
didnt this guy try to kill himself a while back with pills? Now hes going to be a dad...
I am pleased to know it's not another case of two men having a baby! Thank God for 2 normal people.
LOL. Normal people?
You've got to be kidding.
"2 normal people" – guess that leaves you out
If "normal" = "straight," no wonder the world is so screwed-up. (Pun intended.)
normal: unexceptional, unremarkable, dime a dozen.....sounds like you.
well. see this http://www.supersonic.us.com
better that http://www.supersonic.us.com
I love all his movies, quit being so shallow over a nose you idiots. Love you as a fan, good karma towards your new human. Linus The Cat
You don't need to be married to have a kid. Get with the times.
This is a scarry thought that anyone as messed up in the head as this airhead is going to rear a child.
Happens all the time – and NOT just in Hollywood............
You don't know anything about him. Seriously, get a life.
I thought this guy was dead.
@valerie..maybe you mean, owen Hart?(RIP).
Great, another out-of-wedlock birth. How long before he jumps ship?
He's the wrong colour to be jumping ship, if you look at the statistics. He'll do it the legal way, divorce.
Agreed.
Pffffff, marriage.....it's 2011, "out of wedlock" has no meaning today. You don't know what their commitment to each other is and you don't know what their commitment to their child will be, and neither do I. How does this pregnancy have any more or less validity based on the legal status of the parents' relationship? Again, it's 2011.
That's so great, I think having a child in his life will be a real blessing for him, he'll have someone else depending on him and that tends to give life more meaning....
Really? Tell that to Mark Madoff.
Suicide is a physical reaction to stress. When stress overpowers your skills to cope, then the body seeks to stop the stress: Suicide. It has nothing to do with having a baby as much as having a baby will make your marriage better.
http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/
Google "suicide" and this is the first link. It saved MY life.
@conch – so are you saying that people who once attempted suicide shouldn't have kids? No healing there?
like all his stuff. Great comedy.
his nose is like that because it was broken during an intramural football game at the University of Texas where he was a student. Hook 'Em!!
Good for him. Love all the movies he's in!!
SHOULD HE GET THE BABY A NOSE JOB BEFORE OR AFTER BIRTH
I applaud him for NOT getting a nose job. It's kind of refreshing to see an actor who is not chopping their face up. His nose is 'unique'. I hope he keeps it!
@Oh My: You took the words right outta my mouth
That is so mean! Wilson has made the most with what he's got, more than you will ever achieve.
Who knows, it might be a lifetime of taunts like yours that drove him to attempt suicide last year.
I wonder how you compare in the looks department...
after birth!
HAHAHAHHAHAA
He broke his nose as a kid, if it wasn't for that he's have that nice nose of Luke Wilson's.
Good for him, things must be getting better following him trying to kill himself a year or so ago.
So how many women has Owen diddled with before this g/f?
Please, show some maturity.
I've always said that! Makes it hard to concentrate on what's he's saying.
Thanks Gina just the word I was looking for!
It really, really does! Amazing! Still find him attractive, though, oddly enough.
Dude u wish him more luck on his next attempt how pathetic is ur life were u wish death on a person wat just cause he got money he can't have prblems dude I got just one word get a LIFE
Funniest Illiterate Comment of the Day award goes to Brian for his "... I just got one word for you... get a life." Buddy, I got one word for you, too: get an education. Start with basic arithmetic, then ease into basic grammar, spelling,...
All I can say Brian, is enjoy a lifetime of menial labor with minimum wages.
"Missed the point", Brian? Really? I thought the point you were making was that you're barely literate, and as such, you succeeded quite convincingly. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta get back to my cousin.
It's spelled "arithmatic" ....you dork. ha ha!
Brian can apply for a copyright and then just write "getalife".
Hey john your telling me to get an education why don't you get one cause you spelled arithmatic wrong
Ya besides my bad grammar you missed the whole point of the reply but hey with red necks like you I don't think grammar is important
Hey ol spunker ain't it time for your cousin lovin now or wat else you inbred hillbillies do
The point ol spunker is how can you wish death upon somebody that's like me saying I wish your mom dead or your kids dead (and I don't wish death upon them) but its a point but I dought you will understand the point I was trying to make
