Update: Jason Lee to be a dad for the second time, expecting a daughter

Update: Jason shared on the Today show this morning that he and Ceren are expecting a daughter. She is due in August, not this fall as previously reported.

Update April 29th: Jason’s rep confirms. Ceren is due in the fall.

Originally posted April 28th: Is My Name is Earl’s star Jason Lee expecting a baby with girlfriend Ceren Alkac?  According to those attending the San Francisco International Film Festival’s Midnight Awards over the weekend, he is.  It is being reported that Ceren looked visibly pregnant and Jason was "sweetly attentive" to her.

If true, this will be the 38-year-old’s second child.  He and ex-fiancée Beth Jean Riesgraf‘s son Pilot Inspektor is 4 ½.

That doesn’t look “visibly pregnant” to me. If the rumors are true, though, I hope they name the baby something a little more… normal.

congrats to them if it is true. i had no idea he had split with pilots mother. i cant wait to hear his name choice this time.

Shouldn’t a man be sweetly attentive, pregnant or not? Hahahha. She doesn’t look pregnant to me.

When did he and Beth split? Anyone know?

- Candice on April 28th, 2008

I saw a photo of Beth & him, happily together not that long ago?

I also thought I saw a picture of him, Beth and Pilot not to long ago. I’m very surprised to hear that they split.

They are pregnant and it is a girl!

I like him, so I hope this is true, but since when is being “sweetly attentive” a tip-off for pregnancy?

- Caitlin on April 28th, 2008

no

where did you hear that rebecca? or is that your guess?

- MB on April 29th, 2008

Congrats to them! I love Jason!

- Melissa on April 29th, 2008

I also thought he was still with Beth! Oh well congrats if it’s true.

How is ceren pronounced? Is it like Karen or Seren?

- J on April 29th, 2008

I think he’s a bum! He kicked Beth out in Sept to get on with this chicky – I’m friends with her sister in MN. He’s been good putting them up in a nice house… MUCH better for Beth & Pilot!

hi…i think ceren alkac is a turkish name (i’m of part-turkish descent, not very common in these parts). if so, her full name would be pronounced jeren alkach. the “c” in turkish sounds like a j.

anyway, best of like to the couple.

he looked so happy in the video. he was smiling from ear to ear when he said he was having a girl. Best of Luck! Can’t wait to hear the name!

Ceren is from Turkey and its spelled Ceren and read Cheren.

- Franco Turquoise on August 23rd, 2008

Ceren is a Turkish name since she is Turkish and from Izmir so you can’t pronounce it like Karen or something else
