Ewan McGregor & wife Eve adopted their fourth child, a baby girl

wenn5681719

Ewan McGregor just announced in an interview that he and his wife Eve Mavrakis have adopted a daughter, a four-month old whose name has not yet been made public. Ewan is now the father of FOUR girls! His oldest, at 15, is Clara Mathilde, then Esther Rose is 9, and then he and Eve adopted Jamiyan, who is also 9, from Mongolia in 2006. Apparently, Ewan confirmed the adoption weeks ago, but I guess no one bothered to read the interview…? He told the NY Post, “My wife and four girls – 15, two nine year olds and a baby of four months – often come with me if it’s a holiday or my locations and their schedules allow. Sometimes we uproot them and put them in another school.” Wow.

Ewan McGregor has let slip that he and wife Eve Mavrakis have adopted a baby girl. The 40-year-old actor revealed the news while promoting his movie Beginners in Los Angeles earlier this month. The little girl, who will be the fourth child for Ewan and Eve, was born in March and is just four months old.

However, Ewan has not revealed any other details about the baby, such as her name and nationality. The baby is the second adopted child for Ewan and his wife, who adopted daughter Jamiyan from Mongolia five years ago. The couple are also parents to daughters Clara, 15, and nine-year-old Esther.

Ewan made the revelation when he spoke to the New York Post about his new movie. Discussing how his family always comes first, Ewan said: ‘My wife and four girls – 15, two nine-year-olds and a baby of four months – often come with me if it’s a holiday or my locations and their schedules allow. Sometimes we uproot them and put them in another school.’

Ewan is notoriously private about his family life, but said in a recent interview that he will always try and spend as much time as possible with his children.

He said: ‘I recognize it can be boring to play with young children – to tell a story over and over again, let’s say – but the secret is being there. If you’ve made a decision to play with your children, then play with them. Don’t be looking through papers on your desk or sneaking off to the computer. Turn off your BlackBerry. Lose yourself in their world. Even if you do it for a short time, it will mean a lot to you and to them.’

People say that Ewan and Eve have an “open marriage” whenever there’s a rumor about Ewan with one of his leading ladies – we had photo evidence of Ewan and Melanie Laurent, and I remember rumors about Ewan and Michelle Williams back before Heath Ledger died too. But… I’ve never heard anything about Eve enjoying her side of an “open marriage” and they keep adopting those girls. I mean, I think Ewan and Eve are probably great parents, but I do wonder about the state of their marriage and their family. Still, congratulations to Eve and Ewan and their FOUR daughters. It’s a wonder Ewan doesn’t wander around, covered in glitter and nail polish.

    Congrats to them….I love Ewan but he does seem to get around despite his wife, I’ve also heard he was the baby-daddy of Nicole Kidman’s miscarraige…Oh well as long as the wife doesn’t mind.

    Ewan mentioned this in an interview about 1 month ago. He said something like, “we have 4 daughters and like to spend the summer in Europe” since he moved his family to LA.

    How nice. Congrats.

    (Aside: He looks__________ in that fourth picture….. I’d feel kinda scuzzy saying naughty things about him in a ‘just adopted a little baby’ post.

    As a polyamorous person myself just because you have an “open” relationship it doesn’t mean your main relationship is always in turmoil or that you aren’t still madly in love with them.

    I think their marriage seems fine.. they’re adopting more children, he is an active parent, his family comes with him on set often enough it seems, and if he can openly be with a girlfriend in public then I’d say his wife perfectly ok with it. I would guess that the reason she hasn’t been seen with other men (or women) is because she isn’t famous and constantly being papp’d. Or maybe she is monogamous and he is polyamorous and she is perfectly happy with that.

    There are many kinds of poly couples. Each make their own rules that work for them.

    Awwww….so sweet. Congrat!

  14. Eleonor says:

    He can have one of his open night with me anytime he wants.

  15. TQB says:

    Wonderful news!!! Like he could get any hotter. Now I’m imagining him with 4 little girls climbing all over him, painting his nails with glitter and getting him ready for their tea party.

  16. lucy2 says:

    Congrats to them!
    I kind of forgot he was even married, let alone had kids. He does seem to keep his life pretty private.

  17. Anne de Vries says:

    The awesomely attractive thing is that a) he wouldn’t mind, and b) he would rock that look 😀

  18. Violet says:

    It makes me sad that he openly dates other women (even if it’s with his wife’s knowledge and permission, he should at least be discreet about it) but he sounds like a good dad.

    Has anyone here seen Ewan’s motorcycle tour of Africa for UNICEF? There’s a segment in which Eve learns to ride a bike and joins him for the final leg of the journey and it was insanely cute to see the two of them together. And the entire crew was basically laughing at how eager Ewan was to get to Eve and how much he missed her. At one point he stands at the border of Malawi and tells the difference – “This side: no wife. That side: wife.”

    Look at his face when he says “my missus is here!” Adorable!

  20. Lolo says:

    He is SO HOT! and if they can make that kind of marriage work, more power to em.

  21. L says:

    @des that is adorable.

  22. REALIST says:

    Looks like Ewan has been having some bad hair days!

  23. Lili says:

    Oh for God’s sake ! It was for a movie, people ! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1532503/

  24. Mika says:

    They seem happy, and of course we wouldn’t hear about his wife’s goings on, she’s not famous. No judgement and all the best to them

  25. Jana says:

    I love love love him.

    I don’t think it’s necessarily an open marriage. I think it’s the fact that maybe every great once in a while on set while away he might be unfaithful and she doesn’t know and doesn’t want to know if it did happen. (Let’s face it, that happens with a good portion of married actors/and or actresses while away on set). I have no doubt Meryl Streep didn’t have an onset affair at least once in her life when she was in her prime and had lots of hot leading men she was on set with for many months. I doubt his wife think’s he’s out having lots of affairs and or that it’s an open marriage.

    If you watch “Long way round” or “Long way down” (the Africa trip) you know that Ewan and Eve are a very low key couple. He met the Mongolian daughter on the first trip, she can almost guess which one she is, during a stop at an orphanage.

  27. nadia says:

    what people say. It has always been rumours to do with his movies. I have never heard Ewan or his wife say they have any open marriage. I have never seen any evidence of his so called “dates”. At first Ewan used to deny the rumours about leading ladies. Now he has given up. I remember he once said that he admired his wife because she didn’t let the gossip get to her, and that it upset him more. Yes he is a very demonstrative type person nd kisses a lot of people in public. I remember seeing him kiss his dad full on the lips. Anyway it is easy to jump to conclusions. I used to follow all his interviews and he always seemed so much in love with wife and family.

  28. Danni says:

    NOT true about N Kidman…..she proved via DNA that it was in fact, her husband’s child, who left her while she was pregnant and tried to claim that they were married less than 10 years, so he wouldn’t have to pay her as much in a settlement.
    I do think that Ewan, like a lot of Scot guys I know and love, is a closely flirtatous person…it does not always mean that he is cheating or having an “open” marriage. I mean, yeah, perhaps that is the case but I do not thikn it is EVERY time a gossip rag prints it.

    I have seen his wife in person and she is gorgeous!

  29. I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s beautiful value enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you did, the net will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.

    I have never known that he adopted a girl who were abandoned. I am respecting him more than anyone. Nice
