Jeff Goldblum is a first-time father! Jeff, 62, married his much-younger bride Emilie Livingston, 32, last November. By January, they announced they were expecting – it was the first child for both. And now Emilie has given birth to a boy – ON INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! It’s sort of perfect, right? The name: Charlie Ocean Goldblum. Look at the little guy!
This is going to be quite the kid. Jeff Goldblum and wife Emilie Livingston have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy they’ve named Charlie Ocean Goldblum.
“We’re so excited to share the wonderful news of the birth of our son, Charlie Ocean Goldblum, born on the 4th of July. Independence Day,” the star of the—what do you know?!—upcoming Independence Day: Resurgence posted on Facebook Tuesday.
It’s too perfect that Emilie gave birth on the Fourth. It’s crazy. As for the name… Jeff gave some previews of the name without giving a solid confirmation, and I think we did know that “Charlie” was a contender. I don’t really have strong feelings about naming a kid Charlie instead of Charles – I think it might be fine? I have qualms about the combo of “Charlie” and “Ocean”. It makes the kid sound like you’re already setting him up to be a surfer. What if he wants to be a Star Trek nerd?

As far as celebrity names go, that one’s pretty normal.
Congrats to the couple and welcome little Charlie into this crazy world 🙂
I love the name Charlie, although I prefer it as a nickname. As for Ocean, it’s out there, but it’s a middle name so who cares.
I wish more celebs would pick the middle name as the one that was the crazy name. If the kid hates it, no one has to know about it.
Yes absolutely. It just becomes the embarrassing middle name that comes out at parties instead of something to be managed so publicly.
We have the “crazy” middle names with our children
Charleigh Cadeau (Charleigh because she was named for her father and Cadeau is french for gift. She is our gift)
Christian Atlas (he’s my serious little guy. Always holding the world up by his shoulders)
Colten Homer (Homer is his dad’s middle name and also the name of his great-grandfather)
@Ash – cute names!
How did you know he would be a serious child hen he was a baby? (Not being snarky hier, just geniuine interest.)
It’s not bad. They look pretty ecstatic so, wishing them success at parenting! I hope he can keep up :p
Yes. So do I. And it will be interesting to see if there’s a difference in the comments between this bundle of joy and Billy Joel’s expected.
Well, Billy Joel already has kids, is on his fourth wife, whereas this is Goldblum’s second marriage and first kid after being single a long time. Still massive age gaps but Joel is a serial marriage guy, who seems to get his sh*t together long enough to fall in love, then falls off the wagon in spectacular fashion. He’s just way more car crash-y (literally) than Goldblum, so I can see why people are more dubious about his latest happy ever after.
He looks really good for 62, and I’m thinking without the help of ‘enhancements’?
He does look amazing! Dorian Gray?
Dude is totally still happening (maybe easier at 62 since he wasn’t really a “sex symbol” to begin with) and she looks like a hard 32. Maybe that’s why they get more of a pass on the age-difference outrage scale.
Not a sex symbol?!? He was 7 feet tall, and swarthy , and sarcastic…I’ve lusted for him since Earth Girls are Easy. But Juarssic Park, Independence Day… I need a cold shower just from the thought…still, the last ten years on Law & Order he was showing his age. These pictures are ridiculous. Major major work.
So he had major work, bettyrose? If he did, it was good in that it isn’t the first thing you notice about him, and he still looks like Goldblum.
Now I have a project – to watch Earth Girls Are Easy. I guess the only things I’ve seen him in he wasn’t cast as the “sex symbol” so I’ve missed out.
Okay, size does matter, just remember that I did not personally suggest you watch Earth Girls are Easy. If you do watch it, try to view it from the lens of a 13 year old girl, but please don’t come back here and yell at me about 90 or so minutes you’ll never get back .
Kiddo – I want to be clear that I would never turn down an invite from JG with or without major work, but look at this picture from 2009 and you be the judge: http://www.ew.com/article/2009/04/27/jeff-goldblum-l
The age gap would usually make me shudder but for some reason I don’t with this couple. They look happy, parenthood is amazing congrats! Do you really think he’s had work done? He doesn’t look 62, but it doesn’t look like he’s had work done. I need side by side photos to tell.
Congratulations. I really like the name. They seem thrilled.
If he is a star trek nerd, he can go by Char Oceanius.
Congratulations to them.
Sorry. Every child is a miracle, and I wish this one the best. But he looks like her grandfather. When this child is 8, JG will be 70. Good luck with that.
And the quality of men’s sperm deteriorates as they age, which can lead to serious health issues for the baby. Frankly, I think men becoming fathers that old is irresponsible and incredibly vain.
And the birth defects from old sperm are some of the worst, in my opinion.
Hopefully, the kid will get lucky and be perfectly healthy, and his dad will be unusually healthy and active into his 80’s. He is rich, so it could happen.
Yeah, overall I think it is a very selfish choice to have a baby at the age of 62.
Yes! Everyone always focuses on the age of the mother when it comes to birth defects. But fathering a child when you are that old is just as risky. But I really like the guy and hope everything turns out well for them.
But what about the mother? She’s 32, maybe she’s the one who really wanted kids? Also, there are plenty of unloved kids out there, I’m going to worry about them before I get all sanctimonious about the loved and wanted kids whose parents just happen to be a bit older.
Everyone is expecting his fortune to outlive him by many years, I suspect. Not that that has any relevance to sperm integrity or presence of a father-figure.
The names remind me of the radio alphabet or whatever you call it. You know: alpha, beta, charlie…foxtrot…
^ha, this^
I am so hot for Jeff Goldblum. I can’t even help it.
You and me both. My husband knows that if we ever saw Jeff Goldblum in person, I would make a complete and total fool of myself trying to get into JG’s pants. My husband might think I am joking. I am not.
I’m with you on that one! hahaha
If I didn’t know better I would assume he was the proud grandfather.
lol, yeah and I don’t understand why people were making a fuss about billy joel doing the exact same thing, but they seem fine with goldblum.
Because now they have age gap outrage fatigue.
+1
you’re probably right, there have been quite a few age gap relationships posts for a while now, the outrage squad must have run out of batteries.
lol, here’s another 32 year old who is really probably in her 40s.
congratulations and all, although i think this couple is ridiculous. their posing for the cameras is super cheesy, once they were passionately kissing on the red carpet for the photographers, and I couldn’t stop laughing.
It must be the Sugar Daddy Curse. You land the much, much older rich dude, but in exchange you end up looking 10 years older than you should. Billy Joel’s new wife is another example.
i watched the big chill last night. he has BARELY aged.
am i the only one thinking he’s not hot anymore and has aged quite a bit? my mum used to really fancy him, so I’m familiar with how he used to look. he looks nothing like when he was younger 😛
I love Jeff Goldblum but it’s wrong to have a baby at his age. Even if they dodged the bullet on birth defects from old sperm, he’s too old for a baby and he likely won’t be around for the college years. Lots of kids don’t have dads at all, so I’d give them a pass if they adopted, but this, no. Also he’s clearly had massive work. That’s not what he looked like on Law & Order.
Congrats! And Jeff is still so freakin HOT!!!
Is it just me or is that HUGE newborn baby?
Thought so as well. Especially because Emilie seems pretty tiny.
Congrats!
I’ve loved Goldblum since The Fly when he was married to Geena Davis. The guy is super hot (check out Earth Girls Are Easy), but yeah, not a great decision to become a dad at 62. I’m 48 and childless, but friends have been bugging me to adopt. I’m like, “Are you kidding me? I’d be 65 and collecting social security when the kid graduated high school!” Sometimes you just have accept that kids aren’t in your wheelhouse for whatever reason.
I wish Jeff and his family luck and good health.
That first photo looks like Jeff is posing with his daughter and grandchild, not his wife and child!
I’m sorry, but I think it’s incredibly irresponsible of him (and Billy Joel) to father children this late in life. Aside from the strong likelihood that he won’t even live long enough to see his kid reach adulthood, the genetic quality of sperm deteriorates as men get older, leading to a raft of health problems.
Oh Jeff, why so perfect?
He has always creeped me out. I will give him one thing. He seems madly in love with his wife.
I was genuinely startled when I first saw this picture of the baby. Yikes. Newborns are super funky.
Super funky. heh. 🙂
