Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus have been together for several years now. Diane actually started up with Reedus when she was still technically with Joshua Jackson. For a time, Diane tried to keep her thing with Reedus relatively quiet, but in the past year, they became pretty official, even walking the red carpet together in January. Then, at the Cannes Film Festival this year, rumors were buzzing around that Diane was knocked up with a Reedus baby. We got confirmation of her pregnancy in late May. And now she’s a mom! Reedus Girl 2018.
Congratulations to Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus! The couple welcomed their first child together, a baby girl, sources confirm to Page Six.
It’s the first child for Kruger, 42, and the second for Reedus, 49, who has a 19-year-old son with his ex, model Helena Christensen.
The pair began dating in 2016 after meeting on the set of their 2015 movie “Sky.” They made their relationship official in 2017 when they were photographed together on a date.
My general feeling – from the start – was always that Diane was more into Norman than he was with her. Like, she’s pinned a lot of hopes and dreams on Norman Reedus. I kind of think she wants to marry him and do that whole happy-family thing. I don’t know if he’s into that, but who knows. I’m glad she finally got a baby – she’s talked a lot, over the years, about wanting to be a mom. Congrats to them! And I hope the baby has her hair.

First Helena, then Diane… this guy must have magic peen because he’s not much to look at!
But good for her. I always wondered why she and Joshua didn’t have kids, but happy she got her wish. So many women lose their chance waiting around for their guy to make up his mind. Congrats to her.
That’s what I think, he looks so greasy and unkempt. Google him and Helena though, he was attractive when he was young and with her, just didn’t age well.
I saw him in person at a fan convention. He cleans up very well and looks a lot better in person.
Someone down thread posted that his face was messed up in an accident. I guess that’s why it looked so different when he was younger.
He was really hot in Boondock Saints (the original one)!
I’m exactly the opposite – I find him so incredibly attractive. He was a model for a while, and his modeling photos are amazing. I have heard nothing but absolutely encouraging and wonderful things about him as a human being – that he’s very open with his fans and warm, as well as super smart and funny. To me, those last characteristics are so much more attractive than the physical, but that’s me. I’m happy for them and glad that they have kept their relationship for themselves. Seems like the opposite route rarely works out for celebrities. Yay for BG Reedus! Oh – and he never married Helena, so maybe marriage is not his thing – to Celebitchy’s point about pinning a lot of hopes on him. I don’t see that, but hey – I’m not a celebrity blogger, either.
The thing is, you don’t know why she and Joshua never had kids and neither do I. But I’ve witnessed many friends struggling with fertility issues (yes, even in their late 20s/early 30s) and know that it’s very likely that Diane wasn’t just waiting around for Josh to change his mind. They could have tried and have fertility issues; sometime, two technically fertile people are simply incompatible, they could have kids easily with others but not together… It’s usually far more complex than a stereotype
He’s a really good actor but always looks like he’s in need of a good scrubbing and shower…. and somehow lands these supermodel ladies.
I don’t mind his rough looks, but I wish he’d let his hair color go more natural. It looks like he has a cheap bottle of Clairol brunette on constant standby. Doesn’t match his complexion at all.
Supposedly he’s actually a super sweet really great guy and is very well liked by those that deal with him regularly.
Wow, it seems just a few years ago that Diane was talking about how frighteningly adult it felt to buy a candle for a home when moving in with Joshua jackson…
I am very happy for Diane! I have always liked her.
I like her too. Have no clue what they’re like in real life but she and Marion Cotillard never self-promote in a silly way on IG. Congrats to Diane and her partner.
Ugh – every time I see Reedus, I swear I can smell him. And his stench reeks of BO, pot, and assorted poor choices.
And stale hot dogs. I took an instant dislike to him and his character in Charmed (cheating husband) and I can’t get over it. LOL I haven’t watched anything else he’s been in, or at least noticed him in anything since then so he’s stuck as cheating Nate to me.
You dislike him because of a fictional character he played…. ? Wow. Sad.
Apparently you’ve lost your sense of humor. Wow. Sad.
Stale hot dogs! Never crossed my mind until now but yeah!
I met Norman IRL….let me tell you he’s very sweet and he smell’s so good I even asked My Husband if i could buy him the same scent….I actually thought he would smell like cig’s and coffee….but noooooooo!
I don’t think it is that one-sided, I think both of them are pretty into each other and they do make a lot of sense. I follow her on Insta, and on most of her post Reedus comments with heart emojis, even the most mundane of her posts, when she looks really “unglamorous”.
Anyway, congrats.
Congrats. I know she wanted to be mother for several years. She talked in French magazines how she was obsessed by her biological clock
When his hair is shorter he looks a lot like my husband to the point where my husband has been mistaken for him. Because of that I can’t help but have affection for him. And have you seen him in the first Boondocks Saints movie? He looked pretty darn good!
Norman Reedus is a stone cold fox and if your husband looks like that, then lucky you!
So was it Joshua Jackson the one who didn’t want babies? I always Cheered for them.
Now her and Norman, I don’t know how I feel. But hey, she got her wish granted !
I’m not sure Joshua was against having children. I’ve heard him say in interviews that marriage and babies are something he would want but back then Diane was completely against it because of her failed marriage with that French actor. They probably just couldn’t get the timing right.
And maybe Joshua and her have tried for babies, but for whatever reasons, it didn’t work. Even two fertile people can be incompatible when they try to have a kid together
I was randomly sitting behind Diane Kruger & Josh Jackson and another couple (older, seemed like close friends given the convo) at an LA restaurant back in 2014. Jackson was a VERY loud talker, and among other things he said they’d been together 8 years and were finally ready to have kids. I remember because my friend and I were talking all about it after they left. Who knows whether they tried and were unsuccessful, or if that was just BS. And who knows if that was a factor in their split.
In any case, good for her that she has baby if that’s what she really wanted. Am sure the kid will be gorgeous!
Not a huge Reedus fan, but between his TWD obligations and the accident that messed up his face, yeah he kind of looks like a mess. At least he’s maintained his privacy and he’s supposedly a great dad.
It’s sad to see people judging a man they don’t know by his looks and how they perceive he may stink. He almost lost his life in a car accident and has a titanium eye socket. I follow him and think he’s great. I’m glad Diane does too! At least Norman is having sex….poor Daryl on TWD is pretty much celibate. Happy for them ❤
ITA I get frustrated by saying someone looks smelly. Like firstly it doesn’t matter if someone smells. Secondly, someone can smell good but have limp hair because of poor hair styling ie too much hair gel. Thirdly, as you’ve pointed out you can never tell a persons story from just looking at them.
Maybe it’s also because I was bullied for being ‘smelly’ and a lesbian at my all girls private high school. Calling someone smelly tends to be an insult used by people who can’t think of something witty to say in my experience.
I’m sorry you were bullied. Somewhere along the line, those who hurt others generally fall into their own abyss. Norman stays in character for his show, and I think he’s very sexy. On this site, not too many agree with me, but he is one of, if not, the most popular character on TWD. Telling someone they smell is so juvenile and weak. I wouldn’t carry that nonsense with me through life. Those high school princesses a lot of times peak out at 19. Enjoy your life, leave the past where it belongs…..behind you!! You smell wonderful darling!!!
@Nancy thank you! I don’t let it worry me now. I just took it as a teaching moment. So now I won’t comment on someone’s scent unless I have something to nice.
A very kind tutor read an email I was sent by two of my bullies. She told me that some people will genuinely care about me and some people just want power over me; so it’s important to recognise other people’s motivations. It’s one of the best pieces of advice I was given as a teenager.💖
I don’t get the hate for Norman Reedus. Also, I think he and Diana make sense together. I wish them and their baby well.
What’s it with the butt-ugly guys and supermodel women??? She has her own miney, so it can’t be that. Plus that hair has GOT to be a wig, right?
I’m pretty sure, although not much there, her hair is real. It’s not a wig. 👱♀️
Bad phrasing on my part. I meant his hair. It looks fake to me. At the very least it’s dyed.
Definitely a wig, and a very poor one at that. I actually don’t think he is a bad-looking male, but why doesn’t he get a better wig? He’s worth how much money, surely he could afford one that doesn’t look like it was bought at a Halloween store?
Yeah. Reedus seems like a cool dude and him and Kruger seem to make more sense than Kruger-Jackson; I always that was an odd pairing. Wish both Diane and Norman the best with their new baby. Also, if you haven’t already please watch The Fade with Diane. I loved it and chewed on it for days.
She’s impossibly beautiful. I can see his appeal but he personally does nothing for me. Happy for both of them! I love his personal relationship with Andrew Lincoln – they both sound like good people.
Im just so glad to hear more and more often women in their early 40s are having kids. I read somewhere its becoming more common without surrogates, etc. which is great so women have a larger window of time if they choose to be a parent
Yes about the women over 40 having children. Gives us who haven’t found our significant other hope for a while at least.
Agree with both of you but also career wise. What if you want to spend more time with your kids but don’t want to slow down even just a bit in your career in the critical early years yet? Having kids in your early 40s when you’re more established could make it easier for you to go back when kids are older.
“I hope the baby has her hair.”
I don’t know why, but this made me laugh out loud and delighted me to no end. This wins quote of the day for the interwebz. Perfection.
Her. Yuck.
I met him and he looked and smelled fine. Very, very friendly. I think his hair looks greasy because he plays a character that is supposed look grungy. His character is living through a zombie apocalypse so he probably doesn’t wash his hair unless he has to in his real life. In one of the photos above on the red carpet his hair looks very clean and possible straightened or blown out. His face isn’t symmetrical because he was in an awful accident and sustained major injuries to his face.
The fact that I can’t ever see his hairline leads me to believe that he is wearing a full on wig.
Congrats to both! Even if he’s not remotely my type he certainly makes beautiful children. His first son, Mingus is a very handsome young man.
Norman Reedus is HOT
I’ve been tracking Reedus for years…always heard good things about him…on and off screen…absolutely LOVE his acting…every time he’s on the screen…it’s a compelling time…and he’s always been low-key with his private life….that’s a lucky Baby!
Well, bathing babies is tricky, so maybe Diane will develop a skill and will manage tl get him to wash his damn hair. It’s awful. Other than that, happy for them.
Kaiser, has Reedus or Diane ever come out and said it’s his baby? I feel like many assumptions have been made. Yes, Diane has a baby, yes she’s dating Reedus. However, I am not convinced it’s his baby. Something has felt different about this for me. I have a feeling a sperm bank was involved. I think there was a blind about this too. Of course I could be wrong, I’ve just had a funny feeling from the start about this.
There’s some gossip about them and let me tell you, there’s way more to these two than what is reported. Back in February these two had a pretty nasty fight on instagram, unfollowed each other and everything, and judging by the timing of when the baby was born supposedly, I don’t think Reedus was so happy about the news he was going to be a father again. I agree she seems way more into him than the opposite, and there are some pretty solid rumors that he cheated on her at least once (some random fans caught him all over a woman at a bar).
I hope their relationship becomes somewhat stable though now that the kid is born.
There´s rumors that Diane wasn´t pregnant at all, that she was just wearing a fake bump and that´s why there´s no details and no pictures of Diane´s baby, because this baby doesn´t exist.
