In the new Star Wars trilogy, Adam Driver‘s character Kylo Ren is the prodigal son of Han and Leia, but in real life, there is a wild report doing the rounds that the actor has a two-year-old son, who he has somehow kept secret from the media and the public all this time.
Why does it matter that Adam Driver may or may not have a secret kid, you ask? I don’t know, why does anything matter? At the end of the day, we are all just naked, frightened primates, clinging to a tiny hunk of rock as it orbits through a cold and unfeeling universe, so let’s just enjoy this dumb piece of celebrity gossip and not overthink it.
Are you still here? Excellent, then strap the fuck in and let’s continue.
According to the good people at Page Six, ‘sources’ close to Driver say that “family members” of the actor and his wife Joanne Tucker have previously posted photos of her pregnancy on various private Instagram feeds. Per their report:
One post was an image of Tucker with her sister, who was also pregnant at the time, and the caption “Sisters. Nearly matching everything. #babyshowerx2.” Another happy pic, from Tucker’s other sister, was captioned “My sisters and new moms.”
Driver and his friends have also alluded to his possible fatherhood in interviews. At one point, while promoting the film Logan Lucky, co-star Channing Tatum razzed him about “making martinis for your baby.”
In another interview with W magazine, promoting the Star Wars movies, Driver was speaking about how he loves his dog more than anything else, before jokingly adding “I have a kid”, so that would kind of appear to be a smoking gun right there.
So, has he secretly been a dad for two years or what? We are no closer to knowing the truth, since neither he or his publicist have commented, so I guess you can just return to your regularly scheduled wondering about things other than whether or not Adam Driver has a secret kid.
