I don’t get it.

Once you suspect you might be the Dad – let’s say that occurred around the time he was asked for a test – you start making plans. That’s what a father does. Maybe you talk to a lawyer and find out what you can/should do. Then you start making financial plans or at least what-ifs.

I do get what it means to have a crazy mom in the picture and how difficult that makes things. But it doesn’t change the natural inclinations of a father (newly discovered or not) to take care of his child.

My assumption is this: irrespective of whatever the public has heard about it, if Gavin is a responsible man, he’s made plans to take care of his financial and emotional responsibilities. Mom can and may very well have made it exceedingly difficult to execute on them. The public has no way of knowing the real truth either way.

But, at some point, this father – if he’s worthy of the term – will do his best to make it right no matter how long it takes.

Only time will tell.

Yanno, I wonder how much of this relationship strain has to do with issues the both of them (Gavin /and/ Daisy) have to work out independently? Gavin himself has said he had a chaotic childhood. Lo and behold, so did his daughter. Does he even know how to relate to this kid? Probably not. What I’d like to see is everyone getting off both their backs, lettign them breathe, possibly work out what kind of relationship they would like to have. I think it’s probably too late for the idealized father/daughter thing, but they might end up pretty good friends after awhile.

I think they could both do with some counseling together as well. I don’t blame any of them, actually, it’s a bad situation all around.

I agree with some of the statements that Lowe doesnt have the credibility to lecture on this subject. Being a teenager and not using birthcontrol or some kind of protection AND MOST IMPORTANTLY not KNOWING FOR SURE WHO IS THE FATHER? How many people did she go through to have to make Rossdale take a paternal test? I believe that Rossdale was dealing with this the best way he could. A newly wed with this outrageous news? I think that LOWE purposely did this to upset Gwen right when they married because she cant stand the man she once loved in the arms of someone more beautiful than her. Honestly the victim here is Gwen.

all the details of who did what to whom, why and when are extraneous. the bio parents, gavin and pearl, made a kid. the fact that it was confirmed 18 years later does not negate it in any way. all other relationships aside, daisy should not be the one left out in the cold. she needs to feel loved by all parties, mom (pearl) dad (gavin), stepdad (Danny) and stepmom (gwen). they all don’t have to like each other, but Daisy needs to know they love HER. even if she acts like she rejects them, they should just continue to love her up. it’s never too late.

This is just one side of the story, we'd all better judge after we hear Gavin's story too, if ever.

Mary's Comment: I think ridiculous saying she has any problem because she as a model decides to do some race pictures.

Perhaps the folks over at mollygood.com said that, but I don't think anyone here made such a statement. One of the previous poster said that the photos are "sad" and she's entitled to it. I myself think that sexually explicit photos of an 18 year-old girl with her boyfriend's mouth over her naked breast is verging over pornographic and tasteless. Thats my opinion and I could have said that about any model....Just as you're entitled to continue to think of Pearl Lowe as a saint and that Gavin is the scum of the earth.

Pearl is to blame for the 'distance' between Gavin & Daisy. If she knew, or had ANY inclination, that Gavin may or may not be Daisy's biological father, she should have stopped doing drugs long enough to tell him and to find out the truth. How can you blame a man, who had no idea he had a child, for the distance when you never told him? You can't. She's a drug addict... and therefore, I don't believe anything she says. Like Stephanie said, she's trying to sell books, and true stories about how you screwed up and didn't tell someone you thought he was your baby's daddy don't see books... there needs to be some drama involved.

None of this is Daisy's fault. She has every right to know her father, but maybe, just maybe, she should look at her mom and ask her why she kept that secret for so long? Pearl is a perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black.

I forgot to add that she was 16, an adult already in England. So that could alone have a major impact on a relationship. She could make her own decisions already so he can't force her and he may already saw that she's doing fine. I think they just continued having their regular relationship that they always had until the money was involved which I believe took a long time to settle in court.

It's natural that she's going to take her mother's side as well. Her mother has been in her life the entire time vs. a man who was her godfather who was rarely around.

I can't believe some of you are believing the dead beat dad thing....that's her whole point of promoting this book to make him look bad. We'll probably never get his side though because he is a strongly private person!! But what I do know is that Pearl is exaggerating the relationship he had with Daisy. Gavin was on Howard Stern around the news broke about the daughter thing, and what he said was this: "umm yeah that's true. I did know her a bit when she was a kid growing up, but not as she got older since i was gone a lot." Then Howard says "Man how do you explain that to your wife, not easy right? Must have been one of your horrible moments in your life?" Gavin: "um yeah it's right up there...i mean obviously when we have kids HOPEFULLY then our kids will have an older sibling in her" SO there YOU HAVE IT, HE WAS OPEN TO A RELATIONSHIP WITH DAISY! What I believe happened was Daisy was embarrassed that it all blew up in the media thanks to the daily mail...no surprise her own mother leaked the info. Daisy did an interview not too long after the test results and she was nice about gwen and gavin, but that the situation embarrassed her completely. But that she was in contact with Gavin through email or phone because he and gwen live in the states most of their time. It also sounded like she just didn't really care at the same time because of the public knowing her personal life like that. Hey she sounds like her dad...PRIVACY...something her mom doesn't care about!!
