Zooey Deschanel Expecting First Child

Congrats! Love her!

YAY! This kid is going to be one cute dresser. And how fun for the sisters to be pregnant at the same time. Zooey is a style icon for me and I cannot wait to see her pregnancy style!

Well, when you are older……not saying 34 is old, but when you are older things move along a lot faster than they would if you are say 22. So, the fact that they haven’t been dating for years isn’t really a big red flag that it’s just too soon. Congratulations and prayers for a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Awwww that’s wonderful! Congrats to her!

Too soon and it seems like a trend in Hollywood that so many women hardly use birth control. I am happy for them both nor is it my place to tell anybody how to live or what to do with her body.

LOLA – She is old…in childbearing years and she is running out of time to give birth herself. She is just getting in under the wire of 35 years old when it becomes increasingly difficult to have a trouble free pregnancy and/or to get pregnant at all. It’s obvious she wants to be a mom and is jumping in before its too late. Congratulations to her and Jacob, wishing them all the best for a happy pregnancy.

You don’t need to be in a stable relationship to bring a child into the world. Especially when you’re 34 and have a ton of family support.

Please Universe, make her character Jess be pregnant from Nick on New Girl. PLEASE!

Interesting because she just said recently that she has no interest in being a mother. Maybe she changed her mind or it’s a whoops. Nonetheless, congratulations.

He is sooo cute!

Wow, they’ve been together not even a year and she’s having a baby……does anyone wait any more? I mean we all know how her first marriage ended…..divorce. It’s OK to be together a while before having children. Hey Zooey – ever heard of birth control?

Why do we celebrate when kids are being born to unwed parents. Its not the child’s fault and of course you cherish them when they are here but the parents certainly should not be patted on the back for starting the kid off wrong footed.

You gotta remember girls, when your on antibiotics it makes your pills USELESS. Use back up protection when on antibiotics!

So when is the wedding?

Arabrabbra, there is no way you saw a pic of them from 2010, as she was still in a relationship with her now-ex-husband Ben Gibbard !

Ally, what a st*pid comment of yours! I’m not all for the traditional “you have to get married first, then have children”, even more when you consider that she had already been married (and divorced), but stating you don’t have to be in a stable relationship to bring a child into this world is incredibly ignorant! You must really be unstable yourself to say such a thing !

Anyway, I think 6 months of dating is not enough to add a baby to the mix. But to each is own, I don’t judge them, so best of luck to them !

i think you mean “surprise” on zooey!

Can we drop that trite “Over the Moon” expression?

I love Zooey Deschanel, but this is definitely an oops baby.

She got divorced in January, told magazines she didn’t want kids in April, starts dating this new guy in the middle of the year, and now she’s pregnant. And probably a few months pregnant at that considering many women in general, and definitely in Hollywood wait until after the first trimester to announce.

I hope she’s keeping it because she wants to and not because she is being forced to.

Wow, some are you are judgemental and downright rude. None of you personally know Zooey, and absolutely none of you are perfect. You do not know her decisions in her personal life just as she does not know yours. It is really none of your business, and making snobby holier than thou assumptions about others, even celebrities, just shows how much you do not know. Seriously, how can some of you be so harsh towards a person you do not even know?! I would hate to know how you treat your family and friends!

look at everyone yammering about being married as if that means anything any more, if at all you’re stable!! People are free to do what they want, so mind your business.

So very happy for you Ms Deschanel and a BIG CONGRADULATIONS . It is so awesome that you & your sister Ms Deschanel/Hornsby are pregnant together-from seeing pictures of you both, looks like you are really tight and more than likely have a loving and tight family supporting you. Wishing you the best happiness & know your little bundle of joy will have lots of love. I tell my friends that have babies give them lots of hugs & kisses and this will make them grow faster.😄😃

She’s 34 and financially responsible/stable. Why shouldn’t she have a baby? And PS, accidents can still happen even with birth control. So don’t judge. Women don’t have to get married first anymore.

Elsewhere in the news, neighbors found the body of musician Ben Gibbard ….

I wish anybody bringing a child into the world the best of wishes. However, we as a society need to be honest with ourselves. Study after study shows that children who are not raised by married parents are at a significant disadvantage on so many fronts! I know that with modern society it is ‘the norm’ or a women’s ‘choice’ to not get married before having babies, but if we care about our children more than ourselves, it isn’t right! See this article, as it is one in many, that breaks down the disadvantages children face when they grow up in a household where their parents are not married, or there s only one parent around.

I just hope the new guy does this ‘new girl’ right and makes an honest woman out of her BEFORE the baby arrives. You make the choice to be married, you make the choice to have children, and you make the choice to raise those babies in an atmosphere that gives them the best chance to be happy, safe, and successful. We need to stop kidding ourselves when we say ‘It’s alright’ to have children without being married. Is is acceptable in today’s society? Yes! Is it ideal for our future children? No….no it isn’t.

Trying to cover the guilt we feel when we have children out of wedlock is liken to pretending that we meant to rear end that car in front of us at the stop light. It is one thing to make mistakes. It is another thing entirely different to pretend that recreating those mistakes over and over as a society should be the ‘new norm’.

….also, only men can reproduce life long, women cannot.

BUT I”M SO HAPPY FOR ZOOEY! She seriously will be the cutest mommy in town

Also meant to say that perhaps she was told her chances of having children were slim, and that’s why she made the comments she did about not wanting them. I’ve noticed that only a small percentage of celebs who say that actually mean it (and they’re typically the ones that never do have kids!). Most end up revealing later on (whether directly or indirectly!) that they either had trouble conceiving or had been told that they couldn’t (or that the odds were very slim) and then had a miracle baby.

Obviously the latter is more likely in Zooey’s case, since she’s only been with this guy for six months (and thus they likely weren’t trying to have kids for very long, if they were even actively trying at all!).

I know of a lot of people who have been together for years and years before having a baby and then split up. Life is not always what you expect it to be. As long as the child has loving parents who can work together and a stable environment to thrive in then everything is going to turn out great.

@Anonymous…glad you know why celebs say the things they say. There’s really not many celebs who go around saying they don’t want kids. While it is possible Zooey couldnt have kids, she’s been very vocal about not having an interest in motherhood. Maybe the pregnancy was unplanned since she has been married and in relationships before. It doesn’t mean that she will not be a great mom but sometimes we have to call it what it is.
