00:00It was still very heartbreaking for both of them, I think, when they split up because there was a deep
00:04love there as well and they shared a child.
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:08And today we're counting down our picks for the most surprising stars who share children, but somehow we never clocked
00:14it.
00:14Heidi Klum proudly posing with her two sons, Henry and Johan, whom she shares with ex-husband Seal.
00:21Number 10, Benicio Del Toro and Kimberly Stewart.
00:24Kimberly Stewart and Benicio Del Toro are posing for a rare photo with their daughter Delilah.
00:30The 43-year-old shared the heartwarming image of herself with their 11-year-old.
00:35These two names are not usually linked together.
00:38So when they welcomed a daughter named Delilah Genoveva Stewart Del Toro in 2011, people were shocked, to say the
00:44least.
00:45It's a real father-daughter relationship and beautiful and funny.
00:51While announcing the happy news, a spokesperson for the one battle after another star clarified that the pair were not
00:57together.
00:58Kimberly and Benicio welcomed Delilah in 2011.
01:01Though the two were not dating when she was born, his rep told E! News at the time that the
01:06Oscar winner was, quote,
01:08"...very supportive of the pregnancy."
01:10However, according to rumors, they had been seeing each other on and off for years.
01:15After the baby girl was born, Stewart shared that she resembled her dad, but had her mom's eyes and legs.
01:20Both Benicio and Kimberly are close to their daughter.
01:24My daughter sometimes, you know, acts like the prosecutor, you know, and I'm the defendant.
01:30Number 9.
01:31Tom Brady and Bridget Moynihan
01:33Bridget Moynihan with a rare update about her son Jack, the now teenager she shares with ex-Tom Brady.
01:40The former NFL star is well-known for his high-profile relationships.
01:44He once dated Sex and the City star Bridget Moynihan and later got married to model Giselle Bündchen.
01:49He was also rumored to have romanced Irina Shayk and Kim Kardashian.
01:53However, many forget that it was Moynihan who gave birth to his first child, John Jack Edward Thomas Moynihan.
01:59I certainly don't want to put any pressure on him to do what I do or what his father does
02:05or, you know, it's...
02:06Does he play football? Does he throw the ball around?
02:10He's more of a basketball player.
02:13Unfortunately, the couple parted ways before the baby was born.
02:16Bridget later revealed that the experience of going through a separation and a pregnancy, quote,
02:21knocked the wind out of her.
02:23However, there doesn't seem to be any bad blood between the two.
02:26Transitioning the relationship from caretaker to, like, you know, more lessons about what's going on in life
02:32and the things they're going through and watching them mature, I've, uh, I got three amazing kids.
02:37Number 8.
02:38Norman Reedus and Helena Christensen
02:40In 1998, the Walking Dead star met the former Victoria's Secret Angel through mutual friends.
02:46Sparks flew and they coupled up soon after.
02:48The following year, they became a family of three when their son, Mingus Lucien, was born.
02:53It's almost like you have a child, you fill up a bottle in a way with as much pure love
02:59and confidence that you possibly can.
03:02Unfortunately, the pair couldn't make things work and went their separate ways in 2003.
03:06They may not be in love with each other anymore, but they are doting parents to Mingus, who is now
03:12a model and musician.
03:13Yeah, Mingus just sent me a text.
03:15Norman's son, Norman's son sent him a text.
03:18Hold on one second.
03:21Not cool, man. Not cool.
03:25Norman went on to welcome another child, daughter, Nova Tennessee, with his current partner, Diane Kruger.
03:30We were filming in Paris, which was so fun.
03:33Norman and Norman, my boyfriend, came to visit, and, you know, we just had a baby, so the three of
03:38us were in Paris.
03:39Number 7. Colin Firth and Meg Tilly
03:41I'm in love.
03:42You're in love?
03:44Yes.
03:45Then why aren't you with her?
03:47I am with her.
03:49I'm talking to her right now.
03:51The Valmont stars met on the set of the 1989 film and fell head over heels for each other.
03:56They left the City of Angels behind and settled down near Vancouver with Tilly's kids, Emily and David, whom she
04:01had with her first husband, Tim Zinniman.
04:03Colin and Meg also welcomed a bundle of joy together, a son named William Joseph.
04:08He, by the way, is the baby daddy of her youngest child, and while they are no longer together, they
04:12are still on good terms.
04:13Their relationship ran its course, and Colin returned to his native England after they split in 1994.
04:19He moved on with activist Livia Giuguli, whom he married and had two children with, but later divorced.
04:25Meanwhile, Meg tied the knot with entertainment exec John Callie, but it didn't work out, and she later wed author
04:30Don Calamay.
04:31Firth and Tilly have remained close friends.
04:34Incredible emotionally when the baby arrives, because suddenly everything has been abstract.
04:40You're ambushed by an actual person.
04:43That suddenly is all it's about.
04:46Number 6. Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen
04:49These two went from co-stars to lovers to co-stars again.
04:53After falling in love while working on the 1979 film Time After Time, they became husband and wife in 1980,
04:59and divorced a decade later.
05:01Fiction, I hope.
05:03Every age is the same.
05:06It's only love that makes any of them bearable.
05:09During their marriage, they had two lovely kids, daughter Lily and son Charlie McDowell.
05:14Yes, that is the same Charlie McDowell who keeps trying to convince us his mom is actually Andy McDowell.
05:19His name is Charlie McDowell, and every Mother's Day, he posts lovely pictures of the actress Andy McDowell.
05:28Saying, you know, Mom, I love you so much.
05:31He wrote and directed The Discovery, is married to Lily Collins, and just welcomed a little one with her via
05:37surrogacy.
05:37And I have to congratulate you on becoming a mom this year.
05:40Thank you. Thank you very much.
05:42What's been the highlight of these first few months?
05:44Being a mom.
05:45Meanwhile, Malcolm and Mary reunited for the 2025 movie Last Train to Fortune.
05:50The actor compared working with his ex-wife to, quote, putting on a pair of comfortable slippers.
05:55One of those things that happened.
05:57And I always say this is one of my favorite movies because I got two wonderful children as a gift
06:04from this movie.
06:05Jessica Lange and Mikhail Baryshnikov.
06:07Neither spoke the other's language, but they communicated well enough in French to hit it off, and soon they were
06:13deeply in love.
06:14Forget about kids.
06:16Many people didn't even know these two were an item.
06:18The American Horror Story star was still legally married to photographer Paco Grande when she fell in love with renowned
06:24ballet dancer and actor Mikhail Baryshnikov.
06:27Both allegedly had affairs with other people during their relationship.
06:30He was apparently seeing dancer Lisa Reinhardt, whom he later married, and she was in deep with playwright and actor
06:36Sam Shepard.
06:37She and Mikhail Baryshnikov had always had an open relationship, but Jessica knew her feelings for Sam Shepard were more
06:44than a passing infatuation.
06:46Even so, in 1981, Jessica and Mikhail had a daughter, Alexandra Lange Shura Baryshnikov.
06:52On March 5th, 1981, Jessica gave birth to Alexandra Baryshnikov, nicknamed Shura.
06:59She went on to learn ballet like her dad, and is a professional dancer, but also acts like her mother,
07:05and teaches movement at the university level.
07:07Ultimately, I wanted to support the creative work, but also the social-emotional state of these folks I was working
07:16with.
07:16Number 4. Heidi Klum and Seal
07:18These two were high-key couple goals. Heidi Klum and Seal met at a New York City hotel.
07:24The sight of the singer in his shorts made her swoon, and before they knew it, they were dating.
07:29I'm arm candy today. I love being arm candy.
07:32I think everybody would love to see you both out there, but it's not up to me. I agree with
07:37you.
07:37In the early days of their romance in 2004, Heidi was expecting a child with her ex, Flavio Briatore.
07:43After the baby, a little girl named Lini was born, the former America's Got Talent judge asserted that she considered
07:49Seal to be her dad.
07:50They exchanged vows in 2005, and over time, expanded their family, welcoming two sons, Henry and Johan, and a daughter,
07:58Lou.
07:59When I walk in the house, you know, I put my bag down, and they come already running down the
08:03hallway,
08:03Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!
08:04But I love it. I love it. That's how I always wanted it. I always wanted, you know, a house
08:09full of life.
08:10Seal also became Lini's adoptive dad. Their marriage did not stand the test of time, though,
08:15and they amicably parted ways, divorcing in 2014.
08:19Co-parenting now. How is that working? You have four kids, huh?
08:24Yes, we do. And the best thing about it all is that we have four kids.
08:29Number three. Rachel Weiss and Darren Aronofsky.
08:32I have an unscripted question. Am I the best director you've worked with?
08:36Definitely, without a doubt.
08:37All right, there we go. Next question.
08:38Before the favorite actress tied the knot with Daniel Craig, she almost walked down the aisle to someone else.
08:44From 2001 to 2010, Rachel Weiss was with filmmaker Darren Aronofsky,
08:49whom you may know as the writer and director of Mother and Jennifer Lawrence's ex.
08:54In 2005, Rachel and Darren were engaged to be married,
08:57and the following year, they became parents to a little boy named Henry Chance.
09:02Also that same year, she starred in his movie The Fountain.
09:05Your director was your fiancée.
09:07That's right.
09:08You're kidding. What was that like?
09:09It was great, you know, because I got to meet the director, and he got to meet the actress.
09:14Unfortunately, marriage was not on the cards for them, so they broke up and chose to remain friends.
09:20I think it's easier, actually, because it was more like we just had a chat,
09:23we just had a conversation, and he knows my little eccentricities and my foibles.
09:27Number two, Billy Crudup and Mary Louise Parker.
09:30I was a little girl who wanted a baby, and they wanted to take my son to the nursery,
09:36and I just, you know, I hadn't slept, and I had natural childbirth, and I was like, there's no way,
09:41you can't have it.
09:41The morning show star and the Emmy-winning actress reportedly hit it off in 1996
09:46after sharing the stage in the play Bus Stop on Broadway.
09:49In 2003, Mary Louise fell pregnant with Billy's child, but seven months in, he called it quits,
09:56seemingly so he could strike up a romance with actress Claire Danes.
09:59Years later in her memoir, Dear Mr. You, Parker described an interaction with a cab driver,
10:04where she admitted to feeling, quote, pregnant and alone.
10:07Though she didn't name Crudup, people were convinced her pain was a result of his actions.
10:12She does not mention she'd just been abandoned by longtime boyfriend Billy Crudup,
10:17who left her for actress Claire Danes. Nowhere in the book does Parker name names.
10:23Parker gave birth to their son, William Parker, in 2004. She and Billy seem to be on good terms now,
10:29and have worked together for their son, who's a filmmaker.
10:32The three of them made a movie. I'm sure you'll see it at some point. It was a
10:37seven-minute experimental film called Parchment. But in the film, he decides to cast Mom and Dad.

11:00Number 1. Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sheen
11:03In her own words, the Van Helsing Stunners, quote,
11:07life changed dramatically after she met the Frost-Nixon star. Since co-starring in the play
11:11The Seagull in 1995, they became inseparable.
11:15Okay, Beckinsale and Michael Sheen. Good morning, well, good evening, I guess for her.
11:19That's right. Yeah.
11:20It's very late. Way past my bedtime.
11:22The pair started living together, and in 1999, their family grew with the birth of their daughter,
11:28Lily. However, their time together was cut short when the couple decided to separate in 2003.
11:33The following year, the Underworld actress went on to marry the film's director, Len Wiseman,
11:38and Sheen moved on with ballet dancer, Lorraine Stewart.
11:41I think we both really felt like, we really agreed on what would be the right thing for Lily,
11:45and I think, you know, not hating each other and fighting and all that would be awful for her,
11:52you know.
11:52While those relationships didn't work out either,
11:55Kate and Michael remain very close to each other and to their daughter.
11:58Recreate the birth in a photo.
12:04So, that's why there's so much effort on my face, personally.
12:08Which of these former couples do you think are co-parenting goals?
