Hugh Grant has a rather complicated family life – with him getting two women pregnant at the same time.
The Hollywood hunk, 64, has carved out an incredible acting career and is the face of romcoms as we know them from the 90s-00s. But just like some of his storylines, some things aren’t always black and white when it comes to love.
Hugh became a father later on in his life and across eight years ended up welcoming five children to his brood. The actor has tried his best to keep his children out of the limelight but has occasionally discussed his home life.

When asked about how he enjoys his spare time, he once told People: “Well, I live here and I have no fun at all. I’m swamped in children, and I’m too old for them.”

He also added: “Anyone with young children would probably agree that it’s simultaneously the worst time in your life and the best. On a day-to-day basis, as you tread on another broken toy with a hangover, it’s just awful. But when you look back at the photographs on your iPhone, you realize, ‘Oh, I have been extremely happy. This is very nice.'”
To begin with, Hugh and his ex-partner Tinglan Hong welcomed their first child, Tabitha Xiao Xi Grant, 12, in September 2011.

The famous actor chose the name Tabitha, while Hong chose her middle name, Xiao Xi, which means “happy surprise.” In 2012, Hugh said: “Lots of people warned me … [that] the baby period is not that exciting. But I am excited. I like my daughter very much. Fantastic. Has she changed my life? I’m not sure. Not yet. Not massively, no. But I’m absolutely thrilled to have had her, I really am. And I feel a better person.”
In September 2012, Hugh had his second child with his now-wife and television producer Anna Eberstein. They welcomed their son John Mungo Grant, 11. Though his birth was made public over a year later when his birth certificate was refiled to include Hugh’s name as the father.
Now this is where things become crossed over a little, with Hugh’s third child being delivered just three months after his half-brother John Mungo. Felix Chang Hong Grant, 11, was welcomed by Hugh and Tinglan in December 2012.

Hugh announced his birth on Twitter and wrote: “Am thrilled my daughter now has a brother. Adore them both to an uncool degree. They have a fab mum.”
The Love Actually hunk and his then-girlfriend Anna later welcomed their second child together, a daughter, in December 2015, which was his fourth child.
However, the couple have decided to not publicly share her name with the world – which is also the case for their third child together, a son, who was born in March 2018.

In January 2018, Eberstein’s mother confirmed that her daughter and Grant were expecting another baby. The couple welcomed their third child together, Grant’s fifth, in March 2018.
Hugh’s famous ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley announced the birth on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. She told the host: “Well, he had another last week. He has five.”
“He was over 50 when he spawned them all. No, he’s an enchanting dad. Really, really sweet. Having these kids has transformed him from a very miserable person into a fairly miserable person. It’s improved him. He’s gone up the scale.”
