Jaime Pressly Not Planning For Baby No. 2 – Yet!

This Valentine’s Day may be about a whole lot more than flowers and chocolate for Jaime Pressly!

Enjoying her new life with husband Simran Singh, the actress tells OK! that the next step for the couple is to give Jaime’s son Dezi James, 2 ½, a sibling. “Hell, who knows? Maybe that will be the conception date!” she laughs of her plans for the special day.

However it’s not likely, she admits, noting that the couple have decided to put off expanding their family for the time being. “We were saying we would wait so we’re not doing anything right this second,” she says, before quickly adding, “I mean, we are having sex, but we aren’t trying.”

For now, their date nights are spent at home relaxing — and often cut short by sheer exhaustion.

“A date night for us is being able to get Dezi down, cooking dinner, and watching a movie and being able to get through the entire movie without falling asleep.”

And once the newlyweds are ready to take the plunge, if his role in Dezi’s life is any indication as to what’s to come, Jaime has no doubt that Simran will shine as a father. “He is a really awesome dad with Dezi,” the former My Name is Earl star raves.

Dezi is Jaime’s son with ex-fiancé Eric ‘DJ Cubiche’ Calvo.

Way to much information.

yes, TMI, but then it was OK mag she was talking to! Also, what happened with Dezi’s bio dad? She seemed so into him at the time, and now she is saying this other guy is a great dad to him.

Not to be picky, but that seems like kind of a blow to Dezi’s dad, who Jaime has said in the past is a good dad. Maybe their situation has changed or maybe the three of them have decided that Dezi should have two dads. But perhaps she could have said that her husband is an awesome step-dad?

appropriate answer for an inappropriate question, I say.

In the most recent InStyle Weddings issue Jaime is very complimentary of her ex and his parenting skills. She goes out of her way to point out that Simran is the step-dad. If you read that article I think you’d get the feeling she considers her boy lucky to have two great men in his life.

- Erin on January 18th, 2010

Ha ha! That’s a perfect response from Jaime! I don’t think what she said was a blow to Dezi’s biological dad at all. He probably is a great dad to her son. They live together so he’s around Dezi all the time. Just because she says he’s an awesome dad to Dezi doesn’t mean she counts him as Dezi’s father or discounts his biological father. People are too sensitive these days. Seesh!

Jaime’s situation is a perfect example of why I don’t take a lot of people at face value who want to have children without getting married. Jaime would always get very defensive whenever the subject of her marrying Eric came up and say they didn’t need a piece of paper to confirm their love, blah blah blah (she did made some comment about Eric not being “the one” or something along those lines though-interesting word choice for someone so supposedly committed to their partner). Not even one year later, and what do you know? Eric’s out of the picture and she’s with someone with whom she apparently did need a piece of paper to confirm her love. So which is it? Do you need the paper, or not? It’s all well and good to say you’re just as committed without the title, but when push comes to shove, in most cases, I think it’s a commitment issue more than anything else.

Erin, thanks for posting that. That is good to hear. This ok interview seems to have awkward results!

- Reader on January 18th, 2010

Couldn’t have said it better myself Lauren.

Lauren, my take on getting married is that it totally depends on the dynamics between the two people. You feel one way when you’re with one person, another when you’re with someone else. I doubt anyone gets married to “confirm their love”. If they do, I feel sorry for them. If it takes a government recognizing your relationship to confirm anything that’s just pitiful. If you marry because it has some religious significance or because it feels like you’ve pinkie sworn in front of all the people you care about to commit to a life with someone, that’s great. My husband and I were together for eight years before we tied the knot. Literally one day he was like “I want to be married now.” Okay! Do you think either of us had a commitment problem? Because it felt like a heck of a commitment when he was helping pay off my student loans and I was spending Thanksgiving in the midwest. Freezing. When we could’ve been home in sunny southern California! Before we were married! Anyway, it’s something there’s probably as many opinions about as their are people, right?!

- Erin on January 18th, 2010

I’ve had serious relationships- the kind where I didn’t get married but was very committed…and the kind where I actually got married! I have to say that the actual marriage with the piece of paper is way more committed! It’s much harder to leave (not that I want to!) and we work at it because we share the same last name, we had a ceremony in front of family and friends etc. I know that these things don’t necessarily cement a relationship, but that piece of paper does make a difference in my opinion. She’s lucky to have a new husband who doesn’t mind dealing with all that toddler stuff as a package deal in the marriage!

“awsome dad” ?? he has a dad. It’s a bit insensitive towards Dezi’s bio dad to use such a word, imo.

- Sarah on January 19th, 2010

Lauren, maybe it was important to Simran that he and Jaime get married and so Jaime agreed to it for that reason?

- Lara on January 19th, 2010

Lauren I completely agree. Those who say marriage is simply adding government and a piece of paper to their already committed relationship are fooling themselves. No offense Erin, but someone paying your college loans and spending a holiday in a cold climate doesn’t scream serious commitment at all, at least not to me. Someone marrying me does. I am happy for Jaime that she found someone who wants to marry her and whom she wanted to marry and that she doesn’t need to use that “piece of paper” excuse anymore.

- Liz on January 19th, 2010

I have to agree with Erin, perhaps because we seem to have lived similar circumstances. I was with my husband for seven years before we were married, engaged for two of those. We were completely, 100%, solely devoted to one another since day one. Unlike some couples, we never “took a break” or tried dating other people at any point since the moment we started dating one another. Over the many years, we built a relationship. That’s what’s important. When Erin mentions her now-husband paying her loans, that’s building a relationship. Spending the holidays in a place you’d rather not be, is part of building a relationship. You can get married and not have a real relationship. It takes time and effort. It depends on whether you want to make that commitment. The commitment isn’t the marriage, it’s in your mind. It’s whether you want to stick it out. Whether that person is worth it to you. I always knew my husband was worth it, long before he was my husband. We did eventually get married, because that seemed the logical next step. We continue to build our relationship everyday and we are no more or less committed to one another than we were pre-marriage. Perhaps that’s not the experience others have. Perhaps some people really need the marriage to feel like their partner is committed, but I just want to present an alternate view.

- mrsh on January 19th, 2010

I agree with you as well mrsh, I was just saying that marriage is a pretty darn good way to “confirm”, and show one another that you are serious about all the things you just described.

- Liz on January 19th, 2010

Liz, for the love of God I was trying to be funny. No – him paying off some of my loans and me spending the holidays in Illinois didn’t make us committed. But wanting to do those things did. We’ve been together over twenty years and one month now. And even with the ring and the marriage certificate I still don’t like paying for his guy toys or trekking to Chicago the exact minute the snow starts falling. But I love the guy. I don’t love him more or feel more committed to him than I did six months into our relationship. What is different is that I like him more, and he’s funnier to me now than when we were twenty. That’s because the commitment is still there and we have all these years of shared experiences. Personally, I could care less about the legal proceeding we went through. I loved the party, though!

My step-mother is an awesome mom to all of us. What’s wrong with that????

That’s not to discredit my biological mother but its a compliment and I dont understand why people make such a big deal out of nothing.

I am a step-mother and I have told what a good mother I am and by my step-daughter and everyone who knows me. I am in no way trying to take the place of my step-child’s biological mother but there is an understanding that while she is in our care I am in the role of a mother so the transition from one home and one parent to the next is smooth and without issues.

That fact that Jaime and her son lives in a home with her new husband doesn’t detract from the fact that he has a biological dad but his step-father also plays a role in his life as a father figure and to that end I believe he should get credit for that.

He is trying to build a life with a new family one that was intact before he got there. I dont blame her for not wanting a second child so soon. They should spend more time together as a family of three before adding to the family so that her son can get to know his step-father.

This is beneficial to the child because he has two males in his life that loves him and has his best interest at heart. Better to have two father figures bio, step, adopted,, foster or whatever than to grow up w/out knowing the love of one!!!!
