Johnny Knoxville and Girlfriend Expecting a Baby

Flynet

Jackass daredevil Johnny Knoxville will soon be a father-of-two. The 38-year-old actor is expecting a baby with girlfriend Naomi Nelson, his rep confirms to Us Weekly.

Johnny writes on his blog:

It was reported today that my girlfriend Naomi Nelson and I are having a baby and I gotta say that’s true. Woohoo!!! We have been together a few years now and felt it was time to start reproducing (if you know what I mean).

Anyway, we are excited as all hell, and can’t wait ’til the little booger gets here. My daughter Madison has already started becoming a big sister, too, and is helping pick out clothes, strollers, and beds for her new little sister or brother.

Okay then, I just thought you should hear it from me that it is official. We got us one on the way!

Love,

Knoxville

Baby-on-the-way is due in late winter, and will join Johnny’s daughter Madison, 13, from a previous marriage.

I wonder what Johnny will do when the kid walks into a wall for the first time :)

Congrats to them but I feel sad for his ex-wife, I think they just recently got divorced, this is too soon but that’s them…

- Danielle on

I could be wrong, but I believe Knoxville and his wife have been seperated for awhile and just now made it official with divorce.

Anyways, congrats to them. A child is always a blessing in my eyes.

Congrats to them…….next they should marry…….

- QueenB on

QueenB, why should they marry? Congrats to the couple.

- Alex on

Danielle, Johnny Knoxville and his wife seperated in 2007, and filed divorce papers shortly afterwards, so while the divorce was finalized recently, they’ve been apart for two years, kwim? I’m sure she knew about the pregnancy before the media and is okay, seeing as they have been apart for awhile and it’s always seemed like an amicable seperation.

Congrats to Johnny and Naomi!

US mag is now reporting it’s a boy, I read the article, and no where did he say boy, but that’s what they have said in the headline.

- Jessica on

Yeah, I just think that’s a typo on USmagazine’s part. No where in the article does Johnny say it’s a boy (I would think it’s too soon to know).

Anyways, I love Johnny, he seems like a really hands-on dad who loves his daughter, I’m happy for him and his girlfriend!

- Chelsea on

Congrats! I love him! Alex, you need to mind your own business. QueenB has a right to post that if she wants to.

- Kayla on

Kayla- I see where Alex is coming from, though (and she had right to post her comment, too!). Whether or not Johnny and Naomi get married is THEIR business, and no one else’s!

That said, I think Alex was referring to the fact that, every time a celeb gets pregnant/has a child out of wedlock, there always seems to be at least one person who thinks it’s a horrible thing and that they should get married.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m very much for marriage. In fact, I don’t believe in premarital sex or even in co-habitating before marriage (yes, I’m old-fashioned!). However, I realize that not everyone thinks that way, and that marriage isn’t right for everyone. Therefore, I’m not going to judge just because someone has different beliefs than mine. Also, I don’t think it’s right to get married just because you got pregnant together (I can’t stand the phrases “got her pregnant” or “was impregnated by”, as it takes two to tango, so BOTH partners make the pregnancy happen!).

If you get married, I think it should be because you truly love the person and want to spend the rest of your lives together, not because you have a baby on the way and getting married is the “right” thing to do.

Congrats to them!

- Alex on

I hope Johnny Knoxville is more mature in person than he is on TV…otherwise I fear for the baby’s (and Madison’s) safety. I think he can be funny, but a lot of the time he is dangerous.

- Robin on

P.S. Congratulations to them though. It seems like this is very much a wanted baby :-)
