Did you know that Gerard Butler has been with the same woman for something like four months? It might even be longer than that! This from the man who never met a random chick that he couldn’t quickly nail in a Porto-potty then immediately forget. And that was just at last year’s Coachella! So, at some point last fall (Fall 2012), Gerard began dating “Romanian model” Madalina Ghenea. This is Madalina:
She looks like a cross between Elisabetta Canalis and Mel Gibson’s baby mama Oksana Grigorieva, right? It’s a good cross – and I can see how she’s Gerry’s type. He loves darker women, he loves leggy girls, he loves that haughty, model-y look. And yes, she does have the same kind of transvestite vibe that Elisabetta Canalis had, but whatever. Gerry is IN LOVE. He wants to marry her. He wants to get her pregnant. For real!
Gerard Butler is about to go from ladies’ man to family man. Star has learned that the notorious Hollywood bachelor, 43, is gunning to settle down with his girlfriend of eight months, Romanian model Madalina Ghenea. He’s whisking the 24-year-old off to his home country of Scotland, where he plans to not only pop the question but work on getting her pregnant as well!
“Gerard is crazy about Madalina,” says a pal, “and he really wants a baby as soon as possible.”
While filming Playing for Keeps, Gerard became close to the kids in the movie, and realized that the clock is ticking to have his own.
“He’s scared of getting any older before having a baby – he knows time isn’t on his side.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
I’m not completely rejecting the notion that some men have biological clocks, and that the desire to procreate and have babies at a certain time in one’s life is only a “chick thing.” I’m not saying that at all! There are some men who have urgent, pounding biological clocks, and there are dudes who really, really cannot wait to become fathers. Maybe Gerard is one of them. But given how he’s lived his life over the past, say, six years… probably not. Still, I’m impressed that he’s lasted so long with Madalina. This just shows that not everything that came out of Sex & the City was wrong – there was always SATC anecdote that I thought was dead-on: when a man is ready to settle down, his light is on and he ends up marrying the first woman he “picks up” after that. Maybe Gerry got tired of bangin’ random, nameless chicks or maybe he just got it out of system. Maybe his light is on. We’ll see.

He needs to be hosed down and de-loused before she says yes.
YUP
She’s gorgeous, an attribute that will never be used in connection to Canalis or Oksana, FYI. Seriously, google her.
I disagree. I don’t think she’s gorgeous at all. She’s just a stereotypical silicone-titted, collagene-lipped knicker model.
Her only distinguishing feature is her rather disturbing adam’s apple.
+1 Christina, I don’t see the appeal, although I’ll have a quick google anyway …
Nah. Just a marginal improvement on the Cheeky Girls.
+10, seriously. What is the appeal of the plastic barbies. She looks fake from head to toe!
Yeah, the Adam’s apple kind of jumps out and grabs you in the pictures, not to mention the fact that her hands and feet are as big as his. However, this kind of oddball situation (no pun intended…..) is common in Hollywood. If they have a child I’m not gonna be surprised to hear that they used a surrogate so as not to disrupt her model figure, haha. The fact that they couldn’t find a uterus wouldn’t even make it into the papers anymore..,
I agree. Not a fan of the fake tits (they look badly done) but her face is gorgeous.
“Gerard is crazy about Madalina,” says a pal, “and he really wants a baby as soon as possible.”
Sorry, but the photographic evidence suggests otherwise. Look at any photo of the two: she’s hamming it up for the cameras, he looks like he wishes he could be somewhere else. Classic fauxmance body language, in other words.
I agree with you. If we are right, best wishes to the lady. She needs them.
I posted about 6 months ago that if he was SMART, his PR people would set him up with a “girlfriend” for a little while, maybe talk about marriage/kids etc and have him lay low. Making him look settled was the only way to get his career back on track. And looky here. Me thinks someone in his camp took my advice.
I think you are right. Gerard had a serious image problem – being a suave lady’s man is one thing, but looking permanently like a drunk homeless man, and having sex with women in Porta Potties – does nobody’s image any good. Especially not for a 43 year old who hasn’t had a hit film in years. So yeah, I can easily believe that his PR people told him he needs a pap-friendly ‘relationship’, complete with ‘leaked rumours’ about him wanting to settle down. But poor Gerard just can’t get on board – his awkward body language gives him away in every single photo.
Four whole months?! With this rate he will soon catch up to the average high school relationship. Crazy!
So he’s done sowing his wild Scottish oats! Good, now he is ready to settle down and be a husband and a daddy. The children are going to be gorgeous. Go ahead and pop the question Gerry.
This could be a good mix..his fiery Scots to her icy Russian? Hmm..well, not sure he’s the marrying type so maybe he should consider a pre-nup if he switches mid-stream and finds himself in over his head.
She is beautiful. The man has good taste.
ha ha just one problem he did not whisk her away to Scotland over the Xmas holidays, he went alone. Word is the family is not thrilled. Wonder who planted the story with Star. Three guesses and the initials are MG or EB.
She’s gorgeous but seems to have a serious case of lookatmeitis. Wasn’t she once linked to Dicraprio?
He looks like his most recent round of penicillin may have worked I’ll give him that much.
He looks healthy in this pix. Maybe he got sick of feeling crappy in the morning–the body can’t take non stop hard partying as easily after 40.
I hope if true she is more like Colin Firths Italian wife Livia & not a gold digging bimbo model though I fear the latter.
Even Warren Beatty’s light came on.
She is not like Colin Firth’s wife, not even close. Besides Colin Firth is a much smarter man and much better actor. He can attract quality.
She also dated Adrien Brody right before Butler. She’s looking for her way into Hollywood.
Exactly.
Colin and Livia Firth are both class acts. These two? Well….he had one decent role which he’s never been able to build on, and appears to be losing the only exceptional thing he had – his looks. She should be put in the dictionary next to the entry for ‘wannabe’. It’s laughable to even compare them to the Firths.
how do you know she is not class act? honestly
I think you are right. I said I “hoped” but feared the opposite. This info re Adrien B makes me wonde why I try. Also Livia had a real substantive job when she met Colin, she wasn’t a model looking for a ticket .
This is “old” news. I wrote an Off topic comment about it in Lindsay Lohan thread during the hurricane Sandy.
Nobody knew and/or nobody cared.
Manwh/ore settles with famew/hore perfect combo I feel sorry for the kids what they have to read up about them when there older! God help them!
Jokes apart I know many women he’s given false promises about time he gets someone that will rinse & wreck him!
The Romanians claim she was a guy before called Markhu. Don’t know if it’s true but like any good transvestites she does wear too much makeup. Her actual pics show somebody looking rough, about 20 years older than her supposed 24 years. Btw, he has been in longer relationships with other women before her and she compared to those other women look like a vulgar street-walker as those women had more class than her. So their 8-months together mean nothing as he will not openly confirm her. Just because they’re seen together doesn’t mean they’re dating. They could be just friends with benefits. I doubt very much she’d get pregnant as she’s very ambitious, wants to be an actress though she doesn’t have the talent for it. If he’s ready for marriage and fatherhood, I doubt he will wait for her to be ready for those. Also in one interview, he made it clear that it might not happen with her and since he was the one saying it loud and clear on the audio-interview, I’d sooner believe that than any written gossip saying he wants to marry her, have babies with her (if she was a guy, she can’t have babies) and that he’s in love with her. A man in love doesn’t look over his shoulders eyes open during a supposed romantic New Year Eve kiss. It was like he was checking some younger fresher girl behind her! I wouldn’t want to wake up next to somebody who without photoshop look so little modelly-like as she does! Look at the Oslo pics: she looks like she could be 50!
”The Romanians claim she was a guy before called Markhu. Don’t know if it’s true but like any good transvestites she does wear too much makeup.”
Well, if the rumours about Gerard swinging both ways are true, that may be part of her/his attraction for him!
And I agree. She looks 44, not 24.
That’s ridiculous. She doesn’t look 44 at all. It’s actually worrisome how profoundly you seem to hate all models. There isn’t a thread about a model were you are not calling them anorexic, or ugly, or overrated… jealous much?
I have a hard time believing that Gerard is through with being a bachelor. The typical man doesn’t have millions of dollars and access to hundreds of gorgeous women to sleep with like Gerard, so it is more believable to see the average 40-something man wanting to settle down for the reasons you’ve stated. However, I do agree that for a lot of men, especially those who spend their 20s and 30s sowing their oats, there comes a time when the “light comes on”; they want a life partner and/or children with a decent woman so they end up marrying the antithesis of what they’ve been dating/sleeping with for the last 10-20 years. I’ve seen it and I think it is for the best for a lot of people. I’ve known men who liked to party when they were young and immature, figured out along the way what they wanted in a real relationship, and ended up with a smart, down-to-earth kind of woman and remained faithful to them. I also agree that if a man isn’t ready for a committed relationship or marriage, it doesn’t matter who they are with, the relationship is doomed. If the guy is in the right mindset and desires marriage/children, the next woman he clicks with will have a much higher chance of receiving a marriage proposal.
I don’t get a good vibe from Gerard’s girlfriend though. She doesn’t seem like the type who wants to settle down and have a few kids anytime soon. If they do get married I definitely see them getting divorced within several years. He needs another (preferably non-celebrity/entertainment industry) kind of woman if he is serious about being in a stable, long-term relationship or marriage. These two seem doomed from the start.
this hot old dud from Ayr needs to settle down and re think his choices in movies
He may as well knock her up and ruin his personal life too. His whole life is in the crapper. His movies are bombs, he’s aged 20 years in the last two, and, now this moron high school drop. Like she would use an education anyway. When her face collapses a few years from so much cosmetic surgery, her anchor brat will be her only source of income, and it won’t be much from how his career is doing. Old fool idiot like the rest of em.

He may as well knock her up and ruin his personal life too. His whole life is in the toilet. He may as well get taken to the cleaner s by this town bicycle , I it’s karma what’s coming to him after the way he’s treated women.

Ooops, I kept getting a censor pop up. Stupid auto correct…. sorry for the dups.
She dumped the love of her life, Adrian Brody for Gerard and this was the day they met. A drain Brody reportedly told him to keep the w/h/o/r/e, I’ll take your movie.
Motor City was cancelled with Butler cast, wonder why…. box office cough… Now it’s back on with Body in Butler’s old role. Hope he wins an Oscar for it. Again.
I think she is cute in an exotic kinda way.
media is saying she is a man??
noooo
LOL
4 months? Marriage? Babies?
Way to scare a gal away!
Especially with his track record.
Ger, love ya man but get real, get some amazing scripts/work! Lose the arm candy.
Daffy, Gerard doesn’t come from Ayr, he’s from Paisley but even someone from Paisley must know that sex change women can’t get pregnant.
Don’t really see him marrying her, he loves his mother too much to hurt her this way.
My “covers all the bases” response to about half the other posts is: I TOTALLY AGREE!
He’s mentioned in the past that he’s had some very quiet, long-term (like 2 years) relationships. They were years ago, when he wasn’t quite famous yet. Not sure about this one—seems moving awfully fast, esp. for him.
PR stunt? Possibly.
Male biological clock ticking? Possibly.
Is he caught up in the ‘first blush’ of 4 months’ worth of love/lust? Possibly.
Is she a fame whore/starlet wannabe? Possibly.
Is it a good idea to marry someone in the same industry? Uh, NO. Especially anything related to Hollywood.
And would it be better to keep your private life quiet (like you used to) and just take care of business without blabbing things to the world? YES!
there’s more beautiful girls where she came from, and they are all SLIM and well-groomed 🙂 I don’t see why he shouldn’t propose
I did not know that was a trend calling celebrities/aspiring models from other countries as transvestites or man face or any other disrespectful comment related to physical attributes…
Yet, we had past threads urging some of the commenters to not make fun of Minka Kelly’s cankles
Actually they’ve been living together since May, although they were keeping it on the downlow for the most part through the summer. At least he was. She was broadcasting from day 1 from her fb page. A bunch of posters at JJ have been following this saga the whole time. I don’t know why all of a sudden there’s all this “marriage” talk and her face is all over the place, but I would guess it’s because it’s a way of getting publicity after all his movies tanked this year. I hope he’s not dumb enough to marry her, because if he does, there’s no way it’ll last. He’s her third actor boyfriend in one year. Doesn’t look good.
The marriage gossip started around Oct during Hurricane Sandy. That’s probably why nobody paid attention. So, the must felt they should announce it again.
I read it back in October through a link on the dlisted website: http://celebslam.celebuzz.com/2012/10/madalina-ghenea-gerard-butler.php
She looks like a combination of Monica
Belucci, Rosario Dawson with a sprinkle of Angelina Jolie…..
He must be very happy about killing three birds with one sword!!!
Uh no.
I always felt there something Mel Gibson-ish about him.
Idiot.
The article that sparked this debate is ridiculous made up trash and I’m surprised Kaiser dignified it with a post.
Having said that, none of us really know what’s going on. On the surface it seems very coincidental that he’s had to promote two family-friendly films with fatherhood themes just when it appears he’s “settling down” and it would be easy to think all of this will fade when he doesn’t have to talk about the little boy in Playing for Keeps and how much he wants kids like that. On the other hand, they did live together this summer when he was in Louisiana filming Olympus Has Fallen and it was GB who broke the news when during an interview he buzzed the house with the helicopter he was flying with the reporter inside, supposedly yelling excitedly “There’s Maddie! There she is!” as they giggled and waved at each other. WTF knows what’s true? Time will tell. The vehemence with which this woman is attacked though, is a bit much and I think definitely contributes to why he keeps his private life private.
I’ll just pop in here to say that her Adam’s apple looks like a normal women’s adams apple to me.
I actually think she is quite attractive. Maybe this relationship is a good thing for Butler. He is looking much better these days even when his movies flopped. I wouldn’t be shocked if he did marry her. She reminds me of Mathew McCannaughys wife,Camilla Alves.
One thing for sure.Madalina is the luckiest girl in the world.She has to be blessed by God.She is the only one that could tame the Butler.She came into his life at the right time.Just when he decided to settle down and have children.I hope she is not a transvestite like some people are saying,because surely he knows that she can’t have children.That is why he wants to get married.
Yes, I’m sure of it. She’s surrounded by golden light and far/ts Chanel No. 5. Only an angel sent from heaven could possibly be the One for him.
If she’s been doing something to her lips, she shouldn’t be. Those are edging into Taylor Armstrong territory.
And she’s obviously done something to her breasts. She’d be so much prettier without the tweaks.
This is a case of bad plastic surgery of the lips.
This is her pre big lips :

What’s wrong with those girls running their natural beauty ?
before dropping negative lines, maybe you should listen once an interview with Ghenea,,she is a normal person. As i see in comments, many people are frustrated and consider that everything is plastic surgery. well,,not really everything. if you do not have proper figure, surgery can only improve but doesn’t make you perfect. let’s admit that some of the women on Earth are good-looking…naturally.
One question, Is she a man???
The doktors can do every thing this days, as You know.
Im sorry to tell, but I think she looks like one of the laydy-boys.
But she/he is wery beautiful 😉
All the best for the happy couple <3
Sorry bad spelling, I'm from norway!!
Wish You all a great day 🙂
