Angie Everhart Expecting First Child

E! Online reports that Angie Everhart is a bit over 14-weeks pregnant with her first child. Most recently linked with actor Joe Pesci, from whom she split in April, the 39-year-old actress and model says that the baby’s father is instead ”nobody you know.” She adds,

“The dad is very nice and he’s very excited about it, but we are not a couple.”

Her life as a single mom-to-be could be coming to a television near you, for she is currently shopping around Angie Baby – a reality show which will chronicle the pregnancy. “I decided to do a show about me being a single, strong, healthy and good-spirited woman who is having a baby on her own,” she explains. “I want to show the positive aspects of women who do it on their own.”

Baby-on-the-way is due in late July/early August.

Here is to a healthy pregnancy!

Can’t wait to see the babe. Angie is gorgeous and I’m sure the little one will be as well.

That would be a really cool show! Definitely something different and would show the life of a single mom, as there are so many now. I would tune in.

I’m not sure how I feel about that, and I don’t mean this in any horrible way, but… she’s famous. How hard can it be to be a famous single mother? I was a single mother and, sure, being a single parent is difficult at times, but I’d be more interested to see a show on a single mother who’s struggling just like everyone else who isn’t a celebrity.

- Starla on February 4th, 2009

The idea of event-based reality shows still creep me out. It’s totally possible she’s intended to do this for a while, but this falls into “making money off of babies” categories I don’t really like. I mean, seriously? Trying to sell voyeurism of your child as soon as they’re conceived? Call me idealistic, but I’d like to be able to never have to deal with the question “Mom, did you have me just so you could get the TV show?”

- travellingatalanta on February 4th, 2009

Good for her I say! I can appreciate Starla’s comments about it being a lot easier with her being a celebrity, but personally I think that anything that works to take away the stigma of being a single mother is a great thing.

- Michelle on February 4th, 2009

I agree Starla – it seems that Angie Everhart might have been shopping this idea around prior to being pregnant. Who gets pregnant so they can get a reality show??! Oh well, best of luck to her.

- Seraphina on February 4th, 2009

Good for her! (the hard part for a celebrity is having a million eyes and a millions comments each day. Can’t be all fun.)

This beautiful baby will have it all. . .money and fame, and a mom willing to exploit her unborn child as a vehicle for her next acting job. Sadly, no dad in the equasion for this baby and that fact will be glamorized to make good TV. Already my heart goes out to little baby being exploited so mom can make a buck. Sure, women can have babies without a husband or dad, no one is disputing that! But, a great husband/great dad is really what should be valued in our society. I honor all women who have to go through parenting alone — it’s not an easy road, and there are plenty of women who do it and sadly get little to no credit. I agree with the previous poster — how hard can it be to be a celebrity with a staff of help at your disposal?

Yeah I dont see how this will be a “reality” show when most REAL people dont make the money she makes. Most single mothers can not afford to stay home with their baby. I mean I dont know if she will be working or have a nanny or what, but it doesnt seem like this will be a show that most single moms can relate too. It also seems silly to me to sign up for a show about being a mom when you are a first time mom. I mean you really dont know what to expect. DOes she know what she is in for? I cant imagine doing something like that as a first time mother, never mind a single mother. should be interesting that is for sure.

- Netty on February 4th, 2009

This just seems shady to me. She’s early on in her pregnancy yet she’s already shopping around a reality show? That’s just low. I for one don’t plan on giving the show the time of day. I feel bad for the baby whose life is already put on display and it isn’t even born yet. I would much rather watch women who raise a family, work and are actually trying to get somewhere rather than a celeb who is will be a single mom yet doesn’t actually have to deal with the same issues.

- Moore on February 4th, 2009

It really saddens me when I see such an offhanded attitude to parenthood. Yet again, it seems like one of the parents is “disposable”… because of the degradation of society single parenthood has become common; but it never was the intended environment for a child to grow up in… I’m a single mom and I’ve been thrown into this situation. I certainly encourage anyone to look on the positive side of things, but I would never glamorize it as an “option”. A child will always need a mother and father.

- martita on February 4th, 2009

I agree with Staria…a celebrity single Mom..not very inventive!

- jk on February 4th, 2009

Its all fine and dandy when it’s still a baby. Being a single mom can very difficult. When that child becomes a teen and starts trying to push the limits, if your still single, you have no one to help out. ALL the responsibilities fall on you; doctor appointments, meetings at school, etc. I really hate how celebrities say, “Oh, I’m a strong woman. I can raise this child all by myself. I don’t need a man.” There’s a reason it takes a man and a woman to create a child.

- Jen on February 4th, 2009

As a daddy’s girl myself (yes, even @ 30 I’m still proud to proclaim it) I hope Angie will have some strong & dependable male figures around her child.

- Alecia on February 4th, 2009

Who cares? This baby is clearly very wanted and she says the dad is involved, they are just not together. I’m constantly amazed at how judgemental you ladies can be.

- Brandi on February 4th, 2009

Because I don’t know her, I’m not sure of her intentions, but she, like anyone else has the right to have a child.

I, too, am a single mom; not by choice, but by circumstance. That said, it is difficult but it can be done. My youngest son’s father is still actively involved in his life but he lives on the other side of the country so it gets complicated. For my eldest, though, I’m his sole caregiver. That said, having both a mother and father is not ideal. It’s a type of family, but not necessarily an ideal one. What matters most is that the child has the love and care of a guardian and a wonderful support system.

- Lily on February 4th, 2009

please.. don’t make a show. I think that is very sad.

- Tara on February 4th, 2009

I know many single mothers so it’s not like I’m against it, but something about the vibe I’m getting from her statements just rubs me the wrong way.

- jasmine on February 4th, 2009

Starla, you’re right. But on the other hand, how could you ever see sometihng real in a TV show? Any regular people doing it would be paid for it, they’d have cameras following them around constantly (so whatever they say it can’t be all that natural) and then they’d become some sort of celebs, too. So why not take a celebrity, it should be more “entertaining” for the audience I guess. It won’t show the reality of any normal single mom, anyway.

I don’t feel for the child, it will obviously be loved by both parents and will lack of nothing. As for being in the spotlight, every situation has its drawbacks. Every childhood does. I think it’s minor.

- Alice on February 4th, 2009

I just don’t see how someone who will be able to support a child alone without ever worrying about money, is a realistic example. I am not a single mother, however, my appreciation for those who are is great. I don’t think that someone who is wealthy will lessen the “stigma” over being a single mother, all it will do is bring more derision. Not to mention that the glamorous lifestyle is not exactly what you want to portray to young adults who will have no idea what it is like to raise a child let alone one by yourself. I do hope thenetworks pass on this one.

- Dawn on February 4th, 2009

The show thing is a little weird, and her statement about a woman “doing it on her own” not that women can’t, but it is the best for a partner to be present. As Chris Rock said, “You could drive a car with your feet if you want to…but that doesn’t make it a good idea” lol. Also in the factor she’ll probably have plenty of extra help around her, it’s not like it’s just her/the baby and nobody else like many everyday women. Aslong as the baby is healthy.

- Mia on February 4th, 2009

“I decided to do a show about me being a single, strong, healthy and good-spirited woman who is having a baby on her own,” she explains. “I want to show the positive aspects of women who do it on their own.”

GMAFB. If she could actually get legit acting roles and modeling work she would be doing no such thing. This is all about getting her name in headlines, money in her pocket, and sympathy from viewers for being a single Mommy. How lame can you get?

- Lauren on February 4th, 2009

I think that as long as the child has a loving home and environment, that is all that matters. With that said, something about Angie just rubs me the wrong way and I agree with some of the other posters that she may have planned this pregnancy with the intent of making a reality show. I’m sure this child is wanted and will be loved….but I do believe that she is in it to make money and keep herself in the spotlight. Sad.

- HeatherR on February 4th, 2009

I always wished she and Sylvester Stallone would have worked out

- Alisa G on February 4th, 2009

This is definitely tackier than any multiple baby showers could ever be.

- Mom to be on February 4th, 2009

Congratulations to Angie. To raise a child on your own maybe difficult but it shall be fun.. No doubt about it.. Again, congratulations..

- News Review on February 4th, 2009

I think it is a mistake to have a show about this. I hope she reconsiders.

- Darlene L. on February 5th, 2009

Yeah, I kind of find this a little bit shady too. I am a single mother (by choice) and it is challenging at times, but certainly not reality TV show worthy. Part of me thinks its almost easier to be a single mom by choice than by chance because I went into this knowing exactly how it would play out (as much as any parent can know). It wasn’t like I was in a marriage or relationship and it ended and now I am going it alone. I chose this path. And it’s a great path…but not really something that should be a reality TV show. I am of the opinion that family life should be private.

- michelle on February 5th, 2009

I have to say I am so sad about these comments regarding her choice to not have the dad at the forefront. I was married for years to my daughter’s father. He was and is a thorn in my and her side. To say that because she is single the whole thing will be bad thing or a media circus or to chastise her is wrong! My mom had me at 18 in the late 70′s and the same small minded mentality was around back then. That has to stop! Who raises the kids primarily anyway?! I have breast fed, I have paid for and brought our daughter to school daily, bought the clothes, the food the playdates etc.. It is the MOMS that make the world go round. To suggest that the men have much to do with it is small minded IMHO. I was raised by a single mom and I am so much better off. NO one needs a dad who is not fully there and ready to be a dad. Just because they can make sperm does not mean they can be a good dad. So stop making single mothers feel bad! It is 2009 for crying out loud.
