Jennifer Connelly and Family Pause for a Cause

Scott Gries/PictureGroup

Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany and son Stellan, 5 ½, stopped for a photo Monday night at the Hudson Rise Picnic benefit in New York City.

The event, hosted by the Tribeca Community Association & Canal West Coalition, was aimed at protecting downtown Manhattan’s waterfront, halting the development of a two-acre sanitation facility near the Hudson River’s edge. The family lives near the planned development in the trendy Tribeca neighborhood.

Next up for Paul is a reprise of his Iron Man role in Iron Man II, while Jennifer can be seen in theaters now, in He’s Just Not That Into You.

AW! He looks like such a mesh between both his parents!

That child is a perfect combination of Paul and Jennifer! Never seen anything quite like it!

it was an amazing bash for a very important cause
blighting the tribeca neighborhood and environment with an ugly garbage disposal site is just not acceptable
the organizers did a great job!

I just completely adore his name! Any idea of his middle name, if he has one?

- nadel on March 27th, 2009

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of him! He is a perfect mix of Jennifer and Paul. I really love Jennifer and Paul!

Nadel, I have never seen anything of if he has a middle name or what it might be. I’ve looked on several sources, too.

Jennifer Connelly and Naomi Watts are the two women I probably envy the most. Gorgeous!

He does look like a perfect mix! He has deep set eyes like Paul but with Jennifer’s color.

I absolutely love his name!!!.Does he have brown eyes or blue?

- Lizbette on March 27th, 2009

Lizbette,

I’m thinking he has blue eyes b/c both Paul and Jennifer have them and two blue eyed people can’t have a brown eyed baby.

Stellan is so cute, and I love his name too! And his dad, come to think of it

- Alice on March 27th, 2009

He’s beautiful!

LOVE them! Jenn’s son Kai was with them, just not pictured in this photo…she has two very handsome sons.

“I’m thinking he has blue eyes b/c both Paul and Jennifer have them and two blue eyed people can’t have a brown eyed baby.”

Actually they can, but it is pretty rare.

Stellan used to favour Jennifer when he was a baby, but I really see Paul in him now. They have the same heart-shaped face and the same nose/mouth.
Nadel, Stellan doesn’t have a middle name, just like Paul and also Jennifer’s other son, Kai.
Dee, Jennifer has dark green eyes, which both and Kai and Stellan have inherited. Paul’s the only blue-eyed member of the family.

Two blue eyed parents can have a brown eyed child. It’s amazing what genes can create. Beautiful family!
