.......A summary of events........
Firstly let it be said, this has been written as clearly and simply as possible, with no bias intended.
The information listed here is based only on details that can be confirmed through either newspaper reports/articles, legitimate reports/comments/sightings from valid internet users and various video and blog updates.
Where “allegedly“ is said, “allegedly“ is meant, please bare that in mind. This is not intended to cast anyone in a bad light, it is simply here to clear up any questions people may have regarding the situation in question.
This is a summary of events with minimal speculation, but many hard facts. Such as dates and links -where possible. However we are not willing to link HB’s companies (SGP) website, so you will have to check those things (such as videos and blogs) related to SGP out for yourself.
If you wish to fully understand what has happened and what has caused people to form such strong opinions of this relationship and the events throughout it’s duration, then please read on. It might seem long, but it will reveal all you need to know to draw an informed conclusion on this situation.
So, starting with a little history……
****
As you may already know, JDM dated MLP for over three years. The relationship was apparently very “on and off again” but due to news reports and further investigations it seems it was more “on” than it was ever [/I]“off”.
Reports suggest, despite having broken up in early 2008, they were in fact seeing each other during the fall of 2008 and in early 2009. There were sightings of them in NY throughout 2008, and they were also photographed together at a charity event. A fan sighting from Nov 2008 claimed to have met JDM, who had said he was in town (NYC) seeing his girlfriend MLP for the holidays.
Going into 2009, no sightings of them appeared between January to March. However while JDM was in town on a promotional tour for a movie in March 2009 several sightings of the two of them together in NYC appeared, some of which were reported in the New York Post.
Here is just one example….
www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/item_WOrRoaLqPxhemBBfC6H2ZL;jsessionid=7BE8DBD130640A3396DF68212B24B45D
Again, this can be validated as JDM was in town at the time doing press for a movie and MLP was working on a stage production on Broadway, where JDM was again seen on several occasions.
In addition to this there was a sighting of the two of them outside of NY onwards from March. Once on a skiing holiday in Colorado in early April. Also there were several sightings of them out and about together in LA in April 2009, the most widely reported of which was this….
www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/04/still-hot-mary-louise-parker-and-jeffrey-dean-morgans-concert-cuddling Again the sighting can be validated as the concert date and location can be verified as April 17th 2009 in Beverly Hills. So it can be safely assumed that JDM and MLP were very much ON early March to April 2009.
Now, HB as most of us know was “married” to IP from 2004 until roughly summer 2008. Although the exact legal nature of their relationship is unknown, rumors of “divorce” began surfacing around May 2008. No reason was ever confirmed for the parting of ways but it was implied there was some alleged infidelity on HB’s part, however this remains unconfirmed but is however corroborated by several different people from various different sources.
Between September 2008 and May 2009 it was reported on several occasions (and by several different sources) that HB had been seen “making out” and “cuddling” with a bearded rocker looking guy, in and around Wilmington. The sightings may have referred to two different men, but only one has been named as Schylar C, a musician from NC who also fit’s the physical description and has been confirmed has having a long standing connection to HB. It was confirmed by a witness that SC was the man she appeared to be romantically linked with. There are photos online from an event attended by both HB and SC from late October, which adds some validity to their alleged relationship.
So that about covers it for a bit of background info..…
It should also be mentioned that sometime before May 2009, HB was axed from her long standing role in a successful TV show. Again, the reasons for leaving are vague and thought to be based on a financial element which of course was denied by HB.
It should also be said that her fledging company SGP had reportedly been looking for a $6mil investment to produce a movie, and were searching for investors to provide capital to allow them to do this.
In March 2009, JDM was enjoying much success with his first big movie release, but a report was released stating that he had fathered a child four years prior, of which he had no knowledge or connection. This still remains unconfirmed.
****
Now........lets get you up to speed.....
JDM and MLP were very much “on” during early March to late April 2009! Many sightings confirmed that they appeared to be rekindling their romance. Being seen out together in both New York, while JDM was there, and also in Los Angeles where MLP’s primetime show was being filmed from around April 11th 2009. Which again goes someway to proving the validity of the concert sighting on April 17th! There were several other sightings of them together after the concert date but for fear of getting too petty they will be left to one side for now.
On May 6th 2009 HB was seen at a celebrity event in Los Angeles, the first time she had been photographed in California for over a year or more. Her visit was also confirmed via a video update on her companies website in which she stated she had been out to LA in May to try and secure some investors for her company. However this venture was never elaborated on and no word of confirmed funding was given.
It’s unsure what actually happened between MLP and JDM on their fourth(?) try at jump starting their relationship, but merely five weeks after he was last reportedly seen with MLP on April 17th 2009….this sighting appeared….
i48.tinypic.com/16ljrxh.png A tweet which has been confirmed as being from a valid source. Dated May 21st 2009 barely five weeks since JDM was apparently showing firm affection towards MLP.
As a side note: It should also be mentioned that around early May sightings of MLP and her new, younger, boyfriend (CM) began to surface. Being eventually confirmed with paparazzi photographs of her and CM out and about in NYC which were taken in mid June 2009.
The tweet linked above went overlooked by many at first, as it was assumed someone had mistaken HB for another actress by the same first name, whom JDM was working with at the time on a movie shoot in New Mexico.
However, over the following few weeks another sighting of JDM and HB appeared and was widely publicised www.santafenewmexican.com/Leisure/El-mitote-062109 it is uncertain when the actual sighting took place but it believed to have happened sometime before/around June 13th 2009.
The same paper reported further sightings of JDM in NM twice more after this initial report. However HB wasn’t mentioned again as being in the area until….
This tweet appeared on June 27th…. i49.tinypic.com/28vr6mb.png It’s assumed that JDM and HB were leaving New Mexico for New York City where he was set to finish work on the movie he had been filming in NM since early May.
Side Note: It should also be mentioned that at some point in June HB made a trip to Virginia. Actual dates are unknown but the visit took place before June 21st. Suggesting she came in and out of New Mexico several times - reducing the amount of time she actually spent there.
From June 28th until July 1st two or three reports of JDM and HB being seen together in and around New York City surfaced. This was confirmed via reports from HB’s company which said she was in NYC for meetings to secure finance for her company. Also “on set” photographs of JDM taken on July 1st confirmed he was also in NYC at the time. Validating the reports.
It is unknown what happened after they left New York, however several vlogs appeared from HB which suggested she had returned to Wilmington and was there for the most part of July.
Side Note: It also should be mentioned that around this time HB made a comment which said she had been putting on an act (a “little girl” act to be precise) in order to convince rich businessmen to invest in her company. Take that as you will, but bare in mind from early 2009 JDM was at the height of his success with a blockbuster movie release, and it was widely reportedly that he had bought a luxury home for almost two million dollars.
On July 12th 2009 JDM was spotted in LAX, where it is believed he flew out to Puerto Rico to begin filming his next movie. The sighting in LAX was confirmed when sightings of him in Puerto Rico began to appear around July 19th. Between mid July and early August JDM was spotted on several occasions around the island, most sightings were confirmed with photographs. However HB was no where to be seen and was never mentioned in any of the sightings that surfaced.
This lead many to the assumption that HB and JDM were no more….however…
On the evening of August 23rd 2009a set of fan photos appeared showing JDM with a dog he had reportedly adopted in PR, after it was involved in an accident on set. The dogs face was not shown in the pictures and it’s name was not given……
However, less than twenty four hours later on August 24th HB posted a vlog of herself. With dramatically darker hair than when she was last seen via video update (in July) and she was accompanied by a dog which was clearly the same one photographed with JDM the day before.
In the video several clues are given to suggest Hilarie was in fact in Puerto Rico. She also gave the dogs name and announced he had recently been “fixed” and gave a clear head shot of the dog. In the video, she claims the dog to be her own but does not mention JDM.
This was the first connection made between JDM and HB in over seven weeks, since the last sightings of them in NYC.
Side Note: JDM has not currently confirmed the dog’s name, and no further pictures have been seen of it, however it is a strong belief that the dogs are the same. It should also be noted that the photographs of him with the dog were removed from the internet a few weeks after HB’s video was posted.
It is of questionable coincidence as to why HB found it necessary to post the video of herself and JDM’s dog merely hours after photos of him with it were posted on many of his fansites.
Some saw this as a deliberate ploy for attention and to reaffirm that she was in fact seeing JDM.
Her “dog vlog” is what started the discussions of their relationships to appear on various different sites in both fandoms. Knowledge of the relationship reached a wider audience and people began to ask questions.
A few days later yet another video appeared from her discussing a venture with her company in which she makes reference to the humidity in her current location. Again sparking debate on her whereabouts being Puerto Rico.
Side Note: It should also be said, that all of videos HB has posted from August 2009 onwards have only shown her from the shoulders up. She has not been seen below the chest for over eight* months (*March 2010)
It is unknown when HB actually arrived in PR, or when she left, but roundtable podcasts/vlogs and blogs from her companies website confirm she was in Wilmington until late July at least, and had returned there sometime before September 15th!
JDM remained in Puerto Rico until around September 26th when he left PR to return to LA in order to shoot the final scenes for his movie.
Prior to his return to LA, while still working in PR, it had been confirmed that JDM was set to star in yet another movie - Red Dawn. Which at that point (September 2009) was already in production in Detroit, Michigan.
No further sightings or direct connections between JDM and HB were seen after the infamous “dog vlog”. However it should be said that she dropped several indirect hints about her connection to JDM via update on her company’s website.
One reference to her love of the original Red Dawn movie, which was mentioned merely days after JDM had confirmed his new role. Followed by another in reference to Motown music (which started in Detroit where RD was filming) and also a further comment on Magnum PI and facial hair. Which again came as an odd coincidence being as at the time of her comments there was some chatter online about JDM being cast in said role for a movie remake of the TV show. And he is known for his varying style of facial hair and was bearded throughout his time filming in NM/NYC.
All these comments were made in the several “video without video” updates on her company’s site, which were of her answering fan questions. In one of these updates she claimed she didn’t wish to appear in the video as she had recently dyed her hair and messed it up. We have not been able to confirm this as she was not seen again on video until mid September where her hair was still dramatically darker than it had been prior to August 2009. Which sparked some concern about the odd similarities in appearance between HB and JDM’s former girlfriend (and recent ex) MLP. This appeared to be an odd coincidence and was seen by many as HB making an attempt to “keep” JDM’s interest.
It should also be noted that on September 9th 2009, a comment from JustJared.com sparked debate on the possibility of HB being pregnant with JDM’s child. Claiming her to be “pretty far along”. This wasn’t widely discussed and left to die down on it’s own. However in mid October the rumor sprang up again, in the same place - but was quickly quashed.
Side Note: It should be pointed out that IF HB is pregnant, the reports suggest conception happened around late June/early July! Barely a matter of weeks into their relationship. And less than three months after JDM had been dating MLP. It should also be said that since July 2009 HB has only allowed herself to be see from the shoulders up. Again, sparking concern that she was trying her best to hide a baby bump.
Between late September and October 2009, JDM was spotted in and around Los Angeles on several occasions. However no mention of HB being with him was ever made. Vlogs continued to appear via HB’s website, giving the illusion she was in Wilmington. However in October, another vlog (the first in over a month) appeared announcing she had been “setting up shop” in Los Angeles.
The video showed her in a darkened room, headshot only again! She claimed to have been setting up and office and was trying to tie up some loose ends. It gave little by the way of updates on her companies progress or that of her own career, but again the dog played a role. Apparently walking into the room and bothering her, although the dog was never actually seen on video - only heard.
Again, a few days later another vlog appeared. Again, head shot only with reference to the mysterious dog who wasn‘t seen or heard but was apparently besides HB. The video showed her in a room that simply appeared to be a white wall with a dark ceiling beam. Which was yet again an unidentifiable location - however! In the reports of JDM’s new home it was stated that the property featured dark wooden ceiling beams. Several people picked up on this in the video and began to speculate on open forums about HB’s location potentially being JDM’s home.
The video itself again nothing to do with her company, just a “personal update” from HB in which she talked about her “current” activities in Los Angeles, meeting a former co-star and going to see a “friends” band that night! The friend in question was “the rocker looking guy” (SC) that she had been seen with and romantically linked to between Nov 08 and May 09 in Wilmington.
The gig she reference could be confirmed as taking place on October 13th 2009 in Los Angeles, however the vlog itself was not posted until October 19th! Again, causing concern about the sincerity of HB’s updates and desire to keep fans “informed.”
Later in the month, on October 30th 2009 a written blog appeared in which HB claimed to have gone home to Virginia for a few days to see some girlfriends and arrange their school reunion.
Side Note: HB was absent from the filming of her company’s web series which took place on October 3rd 2009 and Wilmington. Causing people to question her commitment to her company and their projects.
Things hit silent running for several weeks. However, JDM was spotted in LAX on October 26th 2009 apparently on his way to Michigan to shoot his scenes for Red Dawn. Again,here was no mention of HB with him at the airport.
JDM was spotted filming in Michigan around November 10th. However it appears HB remained in Los Angeles and was paid a visit by her friend/colleague NG at some point before November 9th and roughly until Nov 12th.
It should also be noted that on November 6th 2009, HB claimed in a written blog that her microphone was no longer working on her laptop and couldn’t record videos any longer. Again, strikingly convenient as people were becoming increasingly keen to catch a glimpse of what she looked like to put an end to the pregnancy rumors that were still ringing through her and JDM’s fandoms.
Again things ran silent, despite promises of vlogs from HB and NG while they were together in LA. They did however record a podcast, and it should be said that she mentioned returning home for Thanksgiving.
Side Note: NG claimed to have returned to NC on November 12th 2009, however some people have said that NG did in fact stay in Los Angeles longer than his “airport” blog suggested. This however is unconfirmed.
JDM was spotted on return to Los Angeles on the morning of November 14th. Eating in a diner near his home but again, no mention of HB was made.
On November 16th….JDM arrived at the premiere for Twilight: New Moon in Los Angeles, alone. Despite speculation of his relationship with HB being rife throughout both of their fandoms (and of which he and she were probably fully aware) JDM failed to attend with HB anywhere in sight. He stayed for the movie and the after party, and was photographed by several different people. But yet again,HB was not around!
This lead people again to believe that perhaps JDM and HB were no more. As nothing else was seen or heard to connect the two together. JDM was seen out and about on several occasions in Los Angeles, again without any connection to HB. That was until November 24th, when the whole JDM/HB debate started up again, as did the pregnancy rumor….
Which was refuelled by two sightings which claimed to have seen HB with JDM in Wilmington and confirmed her to be “five months” pregnant and allegedly expecting a baby boy. No photographic evidence was ever shown, but a source confirmed that JDM was in Wilmington. However, it has been suggested that JDM may not have stayed with HB for the entire duration of his stay in Wilmington (which was approximately ten days.)
Between November 24th to December 1st several sightings of them together were posted, yet lacked any confirmation of an alleged pregnancy or any hit of “romance” between the pair.
It should be firmly noted that between Nov 24th and Nov 26th….two fans came forward with apparent “insider info”. One of whom claimed to have seen the pair together, and announced that HB was five months pregnant (in a six month relationship) and expecting a boy.
This was later backed up by a second fan/forum member coming forward to claim they had received recent texts from HB telling of the babies gender and claiming that she “had to pee every five minutes”. Again, the rumor was quickly disregarded and the topic was locked/removed. However, discussion continued in several locations where various people discussed possible explanations for the bizarre levels of secrecy and disguise in vlogs. Also, a prominent concern was the lack of sightings of JDM and HB together. As until November they had not been reportedly seen together since July, despite numerous sightings of JDM (alone) surfacing in various sites on the internet.
On December 1st 2009, HB posted a blog in which she claimed there was some “ugly stuff” circulating about her on the internet.
It is unknown if this was in reference to the pregnancy rumors or a discussion of her possibly infidelity with a certain musician friend of hers. The blog was considered to be a planned response to the chatter regarding her relationship with JDM. As when someone highlighted (on an open forum) the short comings and questionable appearance and validity of the blog, changes were instantly made to cover tracks and disprove the concerns of various parties.
Side Note: It should also be mentioned that in this blog HB referred to the “rocker guy”/SC as a “friend”. This was seen as a deliberate response to the discussion of her relationship with him, and confirmed to many that HB was possibly fully aware of what was being said about her and JDM, as well as the possible pregnancy.
On December 3rd JDM was spotted in Michigan again, however this disbelieved initially but was later confirmed with a sighting of him at the Red Dawn wrap party in Detroit on December 5th. Where he was claimed to be seen outside smoking, and a fan photos that were discovered a few months later can confirm this.
Side Note: It should be noted that there was a report posted online stating that JDM was seen at the aforementioned party in MI, allegedly looking “friendly” with a woman who was reportedly not HB. This claim has not been validated, however he was in attendance at the RD wrap party which wasn’t widely known.
A few days later on December 9th and 13th JDM was seen in Los Angeles, however HB remained in Wilmington until at least December 17th when a sighting of her there was reported.
Also a roundtable podcast was recorded in Wilmington on Dec 16th. In which HB announced she had given up smoking with NG on her birthday in July. Again, resparking the pregnancy debate. However it seems that JDM had not made the same commitment, making people wonder not only about the pregnancy, but the seriousness of his relationship with HB.
During her return to Wilmington, HB recorded several vlogs, which were released at irregular intervals despite appearing to have been shot all on the same day. Again, nothing more was seen of her apart from her face and a small portion of her shoulders.
In one blog she is featured sitting on a staircase in her home, seemingly as far away from the camera as she could get. Dressed entirely in black, and sitting in a rather “hunched” position, with her arms crossed over her stomach area. This again caused people to suspect she was going out of her way to either disguise a pregnancy, or create the illusion of one.
In the second video to appear in December, she was again dressed in black, this time sitting on a sofa. Her arms again crossed over her middle and leaning forward to not reveal anything below her shoulders. This appeared to be a direct cover up of her stomach area, again fuelling debate on the pregnancy issue.
Another video was shot of her out and about in Wilmington visiting a book store (released in January) in which she is clearly wearing a large winter coat adding size to her chest area and with NG’s skilful camera sweep, he managed to avoid capturing her abdomen in the footage. The rest of the video was only taken at head height, yet again fuelling questions about the possible pregnancy or her desire to create the illusion of one.
Between Dec 9th and 22nd JDM was seen several times in and around Los Angeles. Again with no mention of HB. In fact, as it stands at this moment in time* (March 2009*) not one single sighting of her in Los Angeles has surfaced. (Apart from a possible “I think I saw HB at LAX today” from the week of Feb 15th…this remains invalidated through lack of other sightings to back it up.)
Side Note: It should also be stated, for the record, that HB claimed she would never live in Los Angeles, and would also never date and actor. Take that which every way you please, but it seems she has gone back on her word in both cases. Which has angered her own fans, and made JDM’s suspicious of her motives for their relationship.
HB was reportedly seen in Wilmington on December 26th. One sighting claimed that she “didn’t look pregnant” but another report (which appeared several weeks after the alleged sighting) said that she was most definitely pregnant and in Wilmington on December 26th. Due to confliction these reports are considered to be unconfirmed.
Mid/Late December and throughout January remained relatively quiet on HB’s side of things. But again several confirmed sightings of JDM surfaced. Placing him in and around Los Angeles, but still no mention of HB with him or by herself.
Side Note: It should also be said that on several occasions in vlogs and blogs it was claimed HB was working on projects and arranging work for the future. However, nothing else has been said regarding any of this. And all mention and claims of her taking on new roles and projects appear to be been forgotten - by most!
Now 2010.…
No more vlogs were seen from her between December 2009 and Feb 2010. Yet she dropped several blogs that “suggested” she had been in Los Angeles, although no sightings of her were ever reported. Again, causing people to question the validity of her “subtle hints”.
On January 29th, a blog appeared which HB claimed to have written at 3am that morning. She claimed the delay in posting was because she ran everything by her business partner KT before posting. The blog claimed she was suffering from insomnia and implied she was back in Wilmington. Yet again this blog sparked curiosity on the pregnancy rumor as insomnia is considered a side effect during the latter stages of pregnancy. As if the rumors were to be believed, HB would have been roughly seven months along at the time of posting the blog.
This also created concern about the health of mother and baby due to the numerous flights HB had made since possibly falling pregnant in late June/early July 2009.
On February 6th 2009 HB was expected to attend a premiere of a movie she appeared in which was premiering at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, however she was a no show. Again causing people to question the lack of sightings of her in California, and the apparent desperation for unusual levels of privacy surrounding her appearance.
Side Note: It appears that her absence was later explained in a blog by her business partner KT, who claimed she had been busy in Wilmington meeting with local investors for their company - again!
It should be noted that at some point during late January/early Feb 2010 another source of revenue for her company was instigated and money raising adverts appeared at the bottom of her companies website - in order to gain some capital from site visitors. This is fine and perfectly legal, but is seen by some as a way of cashing in on the activity generated by the pregnancy rumors and her cryptic blogs and disguised video updates.
The first sighting of HB since November 2009 (over three months later) was reported. Where someone claimed on Feb 4th 2010 that they had seen her out and about in Wilmington - however no mention of a pregnancy was made. Only one sighting of her was knowingly reported.
On Feb 10th 2010, her first vlog in over three months appeared in which she again was only seen from the neck up. Pictured wearing dark clothing and in poor lighting, which also showed her hair to be suffering from some bizarre coloring (or lack there of) effects.
On Feb 13th 2010 she posted a second vlog apparently recorded late the night before (Friday Feb 12th) which she mentioned having just learned of a close friends engagement and discussed relationships in her favorite romantic movies. A source confirmed her friends engagement to have happened on Feb 12th 2010.
Speculation began yet again about the potential pregnancy and her relationship with JDM. As it appeared not only had they been apart during the Christmas period, but it also seemed they were spending Valentines apart too. People began to assume things were over between them, due to lack of sightings and the apparent distance. Things began to die down and it seemed the gossip was finally burning out.
Side Note: It is believed that if she ever left Wilmington after being seen in mid/late December, she may have returned to NC again in the last week of January (roughly) and possibly left again by the third week of February. As the first ever “potential” sighting of HB was reported in the week of Feb 15th where someone claimed to have possible seen her in LAX. This has been invalidated by lack of other supporting sightings in or around LA.
On March 6th, HB released another vlog in which she openly slates the artists (by name) who had been working on a project of her company’s. The vlog was shot in a white walled room, and it was clear she had specifically angled herself to include a glimpse of a ceiling beam and shuttered windows which were two of the main things discussed by JDM’s fans while looking for clues of HB’s location in her vlogs in which she claimed to be in LA.
It is widely considered that HB deliberately included the beam and window in order to create controversy. As she had admitted she was aware of the discussions about her through her “nasty talk” blog, and many people assumed she (or someone close to her) had been following the discussions and was reporting back to her on any developments.
Four out of seven websites discussing this “rumor” (three of which are private) had mentioned the features of the rooms HB had been in. Focusing mainly on beams and shuttered windows, which had caused most people to believe she deliberately chose the location in order to fire up the rumors and reaffirm her connection to JDM. As people were still speculating about a possible break up merely days before the March 6th blog appeared.
It should be stated that she failed to mention she was in LA (or make any comment on her whereabouts) and unlike the other two vlogs which were allegedly shot in LA, no dog appeared.
It should also be mentioned that on March 7th, rumors of the pregnancy flared up yet again with a posting on JDM’s IMDB board which stated HB was expecting his child and was “due any day now”.
Currently (March 2010) there has still only been one reported sighting of HB in Los Angeles, alone or with JDM.
There has also been no confirmation of their relationship, apart from a photograph that appeared on a forum in early September 2009. JDM has so far failed to confirm (or even mention) the pregnancy and the relationship, as has HB. Although she has gone to considerable lengths to drop hints and suggestions (both written and visual) that say she has a connection to him.
Now, all this is a written account of the facts. But linked below are the relevant dates listed in black and white and also a query about how much time JDM and HB have actually spent in each others company.
Draw your own conclusions from what you read here, but please check out all the details behind these facts before doing so. Everything can be found on online, if you put in a little time and effort to go through her companies websites updates and also various forums which hold links to older sightings from various sources.
Please feel free to make comments wherever possible, but it is advised that you check out all the information for yourself before doing so.
This thread is intended to fill in the blanks for those of whom may not have been following these events since May 2009. All information is valid and can be found online, do your homework and then make an educated assumption (or speculation) based on facts, not what you want to believe.

*UPDATE*
JDM did several interviews during the press for his movie The Losers. On several occasions he was given the opportunity to confirm his relationship with HB and the impending arrival/birth of their child, however he avoided making any mention of HB or the baby. There was also an interview with US Today which surfaced in early April which declared JDM as being a single man.
Around March 11th JDM did an interview with Flaunt Magazine (see link here img714.imageshack.us/img714/6007/flauntinterview2wm.png) In which he refused to give details of his personal life, but made it clear that he had no desire to marry or give up smoking. He also made it seem that he was single, making no mention of a significant other, let alone a child. Stating that he found work to be his only escape and also how he regretted buying his home. This was seen by many as the words of a single, or very unhappy man.
On April 20th, JDM attended the Losers premiere with HB. While press photos seemed to show a “happy couple”. The pair were captured on video looking very uncomfortable and keen to get away from one another. On April 22nd JDM attended an interview with Craig Ferguson on the Late Late Show, and seemed very out of sorts. He made no mention of HB or a baby, despite openly talking about his mother and plans for his birthday.
On May 6th US Today revealed a story in which a "source" had apparently come forward with news of JDM and HB's baby. The report was distinctly lacking in details, which is unusual for celebrity baby reports, leaked or otherwise.
Things fell quiet for a while after the premiere reveal. HB later landed a role in the television series White Collar and went to New York to film her three to six episode role. While there on June 10th she was questioned by several reporters about the “secret baby” but refused to confirm or deny it.
JDM was set to attend a premiere for the movie Jonah Hex on June 17th, but failed to do so. Sparking thoughts that he was trying to avoid the media and any baby questions they may have. Again, on June 24th JDM failed to attend the Twilight Eclipse premiere where he was scheduled to attend.
Then on July 20th JDM made a surprise appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (his second appearance in less than three months) where the only question asked by Craig was “so, I hear you’re a pop now?” after an expletive, JDM proceeded to confirm the childs name, and age, but only mentioned HB once and not by name only as his “girlfriend”. His body language seemed very strained while discussing the baby, using his hand to cover his mouth and avoiding eye contact with either Craig, the audience or the camera, and quick changes of topics whenever the baby was mentioned.
Then, a little over two weeks after JDM announced the baby, HB finally breaks her silence and speaks to the Associated Press, to whom she confirms the birth of the child and the relationship with JDM but fails to give any details of the baby’s name or age.
How strange that she waited for JDM to publicly confirm the baby in what was seen by many as a bizarrely staged appearance by him on the Late Late show. The silence is now broken, but the weirdness and questions remain! Something changed between May and July which forced JDM to reveal the child publicly, perhaps to allow HB to talk about the child while doing further press in the lead up to her debut on White Collar in mid August. She remained steadfast on refusing to discuss the baby during all press she did in June, yet suddenly after JDM made the announcement on the Late Late Show she suddenly begins to open up. Strange, no?
For some reason they decided the baby was no longer a "secret". Just what that reason was, is up to you to decide!
