DL Fav Jessica Chastain Welcomes a Baby with her Dandy Husband!

Mazel tov to the ginger future Best actress winner! She had a daughter via surrogate just like Beyonce did. Did I sense a trend among celebrity wannabe mothers?

Do we have a troll trying to make "DL fav" Jessica Chastain happen? She isn't remotely the object of unusually large affection on this board, OP.

The day that this boring, no talent whore gets an Oscar is the day I stop watching FOREVER!

It will be interesting to see if surrogacy continues to increase in celebrity circles. They all want to be so politically correct and ahead and there’s a big push in younger feminism as far as surrogacy being horrible, taking advantage of low income women, etc. etc. I expect that to grow and it to get a stink on it most of them won’t want to touch.

I don't understand the hate for her, she seems to be nice in interviews and I've never heard anything bad about her other than she seems a bit...awkward.

Straight women are DLers' natural enemies cuz they can get the hot straight men DLers are craving for

She was very good in Crimson Peak...too bad the same couldn't be said for her preening costar.

R7 crimson peak was spooky and the visuals were absolutely stunning. The twist was so icky ,though Jessica was very good in it. Can you imagine if they cast Angelina Jolie in her role? It would certainly be very on the nose, lol.

Stupid question but here goes. Are children created by surrogacy, generally speaking, related to the woman who carried them or the legal mother?

R9, the kid is probably Chastain's biologically. They likely inserted it into a surrogate and she carried it and birthed it.

However, if Chastain is 'shooting blanks' (so to speak, i.e. if her eggs are dysfunctional and not fertile at all), then perhaps it's the surrogate's or even some 3rd woman's egg and biological kid. That is, Chastain's husband could have fertilised some other woman's egg and they sold or charity-passed the kid to Chastain. However, that's probably unlikely, because that could cause psychological problems for a female like Chastain (e.g. feeling distant and unrelated to the kid) - especially if the kid grows up to be a genetic copy of that other woman (its biological mother), and not even resemble Chastain's husband (its biological father).

If the kid is biologically Chastain's (her egg), then even if the surrogate does not pass on her genes to the kid, the surrogate still influences the 'expression' of the kid's genes:

[quote] “It turns out molecules known as MicroRNAs that are secreted in the mother’s womb act as a communication system between the mother (or surrogate) and the growing fetus… this is really the beginning of every influence that a mother (or surrogate) can have, including the onset of diseases ... The endometrial milk nurtures the embryos, but it is also involved in gene regulation ... Think of the MicroRNAs as little spaceships that shuttle information through the endometrial milk from a mother’s genes to the developing embryo and regulate the expression of its genes."

*oops, meant to write "even though", not "even if"

Lol at the frau saying DL'ers envy this lesbian. The only thing she's getting is fish tacos frau.

R10 Very interesting , surrogacy definitely raises a lot of questions, biologically and legally.

She's gay. Husband, as well.

Chastain like Kidman is a sick, self absorbed bitch. Having a bay that way. Yuk. Exploiting vulnerable women. Hope they were well paid though.

R15 at least she's honest about using a surrogate, unlike Kidman.

Nobody "has" a child if she is hiring a surrogate. The surrogate is the real, actual, in the hospital experiencing the pain of childbirth mother who has pre-sold her baby to another person. "Jessica Chastain Welcomes Her Purchase" would be an accurate headline.

"Surrogate" is one of those weasel words.

At least she didn't fake a baby bump like others

R15 she's not as bad as Nicole Kidman. No one is as bad as Nicole Kidman.

[quote] Straight women are DLers' natural enemies cuz they can get the hot straight men DLers are craving for

Weirdly phrased and patently false, it would be inapplicable in this case regardless. Ms. Chastain is lesbianese.

I don't understand the use of a surrogate if she doesn't have a medical problem carrying her own children.

What is that thing attached to the front of her? How does she see where she is stepping? Have never seen a baby carrier like that.

I wonder if Chastain will ask Mathew Newton to be the child's godfather.

Probably the real mother is her best friend Jess weixler. We thought these 2 were a couple until Jessica became a little bit more famous. After weixler " disappeared " and was replaced by this mysterious Italian dude.

Here's some juicy gossip that won't surprise you --- it's not really gossip because Chastain said it and it came from her own lips --- Jessica Chastain absolutely positively totally HATES AND IS COMPETITIVE with Amy Adams.

Envious, venomous, you name it. She said the most hateful things about poor Amy, who is generally a clueless if not harmless woman. "Amy fucking Adams is overrated, overplayed, overused ..." it's amazing how much can come out of someone after some bubbly at a lesbian party in the Hills.

Chastain's ambition and combative and competitive nature won't allow for raven-haired Adams to succeed or prosper. She wishes her nothing but failures and the like.

She’s a closeted Lez over 40. Over her and this fake baby bullshit.

R25 In Jessica's defense I remember reading a poster here who wrote that Adams was kinda bitchy. I was surprised by that because it was so at odds with her image.

R26 well... the baby is definitely real

R28 Have you seen the baby. No pics of her baby yet.

Jessica is jealous Amy is better and more well liked. It’s easy for Jessica to preach from her closet.

Adams is more well-liked. She's also more interesting to watch as an actor.

Amy is far more interesting than Jessica. As is the batshit Jennifer Lawrence, whom Jessica also hates.

D’you think her friend Jess Weixler, who broke out before Jessica Chastain did as an mumblecore Queen and Sundance regular - is jealous of Chassie’s more mainstream success?

If there is an actress who Chastain can with 100% justification feel superior to, it is Jennifer Lawrence. JLaw can’t act, her vocabulary consists primarily of four letter words, and is an unrepentant hot mess.

Amy Adams bores me.

Chastain seems to play level-headed, plain-vanilla types in most of her movies. Perhaps she's typecast or perhaps she personally goes for very similar roles. What's her artistic range?

Lawrence is a hot mess but at least she tries to experiment more and show / develop range, which makes her more interesting for me personally.

Totally not fuelling those lesbian rumours!

What I found really odd is that she waited 4 months to say they had a baby with a surrogate !

I'm sad to hear Amy Adams is a bitch, I really hope it's not true.

Interesting, R25. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know about personality, but I think Amy Adams is the better actor between the two.

i just wanna add this: her husband is NOT well known in Italy, nor his family is famous or well known. When he started appearing at JC's side was the first time i had ever seen/heard of him. And i'm a celebrity junkie. So it's not like he's an Agnelli/Berlusconi/Marzotto kind of "prince". He's an absolute nobody who probably took the job for money and exposure. She wears the pants in this thing, he's a trophy boy (gay or not, i have no idea)

R39 Intersting. Thanks for the gossip. I think he worked for Armani, right? And all of his previous girlfriends were models.

R36 I think she didn't say a word about her baby or posted any pics. Now People Magazine said that the baby is already 7 months old and the article doesn't mentions the "surrogate" part.

yes, he works/worked for Armani

His family hawks their own Prosecco

My only real problem with Jessica Chastain is her hypocrisy regarding Matthew Newton. Lets be honest - she had to know about his domestic violence record. It's all over his Wikipedia. No film producer in 2018 is that incompetent. And even if she is somehow that incompetent, her company is still paying him for his screenplay.

It's just so bizarre that a supposedly woke feminist would want to have anything to do with someone like him under any circumstances. At least publicly.

She really, really didn't want that dick anywhere near her!

[quote]The actress, 41, and Passi de Preposulo welcomed baby Giulietta Passi Chastain via surrogate, Page Six has learned.

Did they just leave off the de Preposulo part of the baby's name or is its last name Chastain? I hope it's Chastain. I predict Mr. Playboy is gone within a year.

R44 She may have problems though when that film is released and she's out whoring it to the public. Hopefully the media will ask the hard questions. As far as I know she has remained silent about Matthew Newton - he was the one who 'withdrew'. Not a tweet from twitter either - she is a gutless skank. Quick to bag Matt Damon when the whole #MeToo movement got started for something he may not have done (made some call a journalist trying to repress a story). Don't think she publicly apologised to him about that.

Are Amy and Jessica the new M & G?

R47 She defended him. And Matt Damon deserves to be dragged for his behaviour during the MeToo movement defending sexual offenders like Casey Affleck and mansplaining women about sexual harrasment. He's an asshole.

I'd think the competition between Adams and Chastain has to be pretty fierce--they must be considered for the same roles all the time. Adams does some lighter, funnier roles and can sing. Chastain does more heavy leads, but they're both serious gunning-for-Oscar actresses who have a similar look. Of the two, I prefer Adams--she's a little more distinctive and natural onscreen.

R10 Jessica is 41. No way she had any healthy eggs left for surrogacy.

You can still have kids the natural way at 41. There are all kinds of accidents walking around whose mothers were in their 40s. Since it was through surrogacy, they induced extra egg production with hormones and, because she's rich, probably went through and picked out the best of the best using the latest genetic screening technology.

I will always have some degree of respect for her calling out Bryan Singer, even when other actors were being told to pull their heads in (a la the twink from the o'neils). She got a bit of blow back from the x men fan boys for it too, but never backed down. Singer is a peice of shit and I hope one day all his lies unravel completely. He is like teflon, and there must be more powerful people involved in order for him to still be in hollywood that are connected to him and his predatory ways.

R52 because she's rich, her doctors probably suggested an egg donor would be easier than her going through multiple cycles of hormone treatment in hopes of getting enough decent eggs to go through IVF. Sure, some women have healthy babies naturally at 41, but at best, 10% of your eggs are healthy. With IVF, they suggest retrieving 20 eggs for a baby. So after all is said and done, maybe 2 of the eggs are healthy. That doesn't leave a lot of room for error with IVF and implantation.

R54, I just don't picture Hollywood people not having their own genetic children if at all possible. If it wasn't her own egg, I think she just would have adopted.

Remember when this bitch said I appear in too many movies? Such disrespect from someone with only two nominations. By the time I was her age I had nine nominations, two Oscars and had four children which I carried myself. I didn't pay some poor woman to do the work for me.

Still nothing on her instagram over the baby . Fans who had pics of her scrolling around with the baby and send them to her instagram are all removed . Very odd don’nt You think . My stance on is it that the baby isn’t hers but maybe she is the godmother of the baby . The baby only surfaced in oct nov not before . And the baby is Born 4 april . When he comes to New York she parade the baby around . Trust me they are not lovers .

R56 And I did my own housework and looked after my birth children.

I think it took adam driver and jesse eisenberg two years to admit they had kids.It must be a "hollyweird" thing!

Why she won't admit she has a child? Anne Hathaway never posted a pic on her IG about her son but... we all knew she was pregnant, she didn't hide it from the public. I think only weird secretive people do the way Jessica is doing. They probably feel superior then the rest of Hw moms,

R53 "I will always have some degree of respect for her calling out Bryan Singer"

Too bad she didn't call out that women beater Matthew Newton , she even give him a job in her movie.

R2 Still better than Amy Adams

I prefer Chastain to Adams because Jessica wasn't a Harvey girl like Amy

I'm not famous, with the requisite weirdo following, and I don't think I'd put anything out in public about my new baby if I had one. If she was just baby-sitting, I don't think she'd not say as much or go to the trouble of removing pictures.

What is with the insane level of hatred on here for her? There are a lot of people in Hollywood way more worthy of it.

R64 What is with the insane level of hatred on here for her? There are a lot of people in Hollywood way more worthy of it.

I think it's because of her tweet about Brando.

I like her but I just hate that she's in a lavender marriage :( It's just so disappointing

She probably is hyper worried about security. Lot of rich people worry about kidnapping and such, so they prefer it if their kids aren't readily identifiable.

Beats the Angelina Jolie route, IMO.

Isn’t her stage name Chastain, via a relative? She was born Howard.

R66 How do you know she is a lesbian?

R67 "Lot of rich people worry about kidnapping"

Lol. Why some comments on here thinks she is super rich and super famous? She is not even on the top 20 of highest- paid actresses. The level of delusion from her stans are just...

R69 why do you ask a stupid question on here?

One thing we know for sure, he is not the father. Look how he leaves Jess to carry the little devil spawn.

Is Xavier still friends with Jessica?

[quote] I prefer Chastain to Adams because Jessica wasn't a Harvey girl like Amy

Chastain wasn't a Harvey girl because even he preferred her friend over Chastain:

[quote] "Jessica weighed in last month when she claimed that she herself had a run-in with the disgraced producer after he attempted to get her to 'pimp out' her best FRIEND."

R70, she has a net worth over $20 million. The level of delusion from her haters is just....

[quote] I prefer Chastain to Adams because Jessica wasn't a Harvey girl like Amy

Amy's breakout role was in Junebug, a film that had nothing to do with Harvey. Stop peddling your ignorant bullshit.

Maybe Chastain had her eggs harvested ten years ago. Some women do it if they want to spend their thirties building a career and have kids later.

R73 "Jessica weighed in last month when she claimed that she herself had a run-in with the disgraced producer after he attempted to get her to 'pimp out' her best FRIEND."

that doesn't make her a Harvey girl a Harvey girl she has never worked with Weinstein

R75 Lamy Adams fangirl has arrived

Whatever she has worked in many Weinstein produced projects and she has won or nominated for her work in Weinstein films.

R75 and this for you it seems like Adams was a favorite of Harvey!

2014 - Harvey Weinstein Is Pushing Hard for 'Today' to Apologize to Amy Adams for Abruptly Canceling Her Interview

Was Edgar Ramirez the egg donor?

[quote][R75] Lamy Adams fangirl has arrived

[quote]Whatever she has worked in many Weinstein produced projects and she has won or nominated for her work in Weinstein films.

I am not a fangirl, you dipshit. I'm just saying that Adams won an Oscar nomination with Junebug. She didn't need to blow Harvey to get noticed.

wasn't her last guy Italian, too? is she taking a page from vin disel and "only dating in Europe?"

I'm sick of both Chastain and Adams but Adams doesn't seem perpetually stiff, uptight, like Chastain does.

That's it, R80? And that proves she blew him for parts? Give me a break.

No one cares about Adams even Meryl is better than her and 100 times better than her

R83 I'm just saying that Adams won an Oscar nomination with Junebug.

that's only one film and one nomination many actors are nominated only once

She's not always nominated only based on her performance she has relied too much on strength of her films and heavy campaign by Weinstein that's a fact.

R85 It actually doesn't matter if she blew him or not it just shows that she works with nastiest people just for status and awards and she's not the only one

ALL women are having fake kids, not just celebrities. I prefer surrogates over this IVF crap. Its funny 35 used to be to old for kids now bitches be having kids at 50. Oh well, at least the future in special education and pediatric diseases looks bright.

[quote]she works with nastiest people

You mean Harvey? Who else? Who are these numerous nasty people Adams chose to work with?

Harvey was a major force in the business for two decades. Hundreds of men and women worked with him. If you want to dump on Adams, be fair and dump on all of them.

Harvey, David O' Russel and more and not only on one film

[quote]If you want to dump on Adams, be fair and [bold]dump on all of them.[/bold]

that's fair

[quote] Harvey, David O' Russel and more and not only on one film

That's two people, really, R88/90. DOR is a jackass (I've met him and he is odd, to say the least), but generally an equal opportunity harasser. Still, no actor will say no to him, because he does make good films. In my opinion, it's a bit precious to go after Adams or anyone else over working with problematic directors. It's not as simple as declaring "I won't be working with these people". Besides, a director can cause problems to one actor and not another. And Hollywood doesn't give a shit about taking a stand, as you already know.

I'm not here to defend Adams, but actors are vulnerable even when they have some power. It's a terrible business, ruled by mediocre men in suits.

Let alone morally and emotionally R19.

R89 in both straights' fertility and the LGBTetc fraternity I own to havIng a real problem with propagating an almost casual near acceptance of surrogacy over IVF OR fostering OR adopting OR even 'hey, let's choose not to bring yet more children into the world to primarily serve our base existential dilemma!" ESP in wealthy western societies and supposed "comnunities".

Oh Dear! oops ^^ communitues

[Surrogate and IVF children to adults have unique perspectives on their identity formation much the same however specifically aspected. Cavalier to normalise fertility approaches outside norms without sue process and consideration IMHO]

Oh dear!- I give up! ^^ communities and 'due' process.

Apologies to the thread DL.

Gian Luca always looks so grumpy when he's with her. Now with the new baby, he even looks grumpier Lol!

There should be someone in the background directing them: "At least TRY to appear like a real couple."

Given how many couples are composed of ill-matched, unhappy people, they look like "a real couple" to me!

He looks like a homeless guy who is about to slap her in R97's link.

Jessica Chastain is weird and hypocritical, but I wouldn't say she has an uptight and stiff personality. As for Amy Adams, she's likeable, but kind of bland.

With the surrogacy "vogue" it's very hard to distinguish a couple with fertility problems and a "fake" couple (a gay man married with a straight woman or a lesbian) ! Does anyone can enlighten us : how can we make the difference, however when these people post fotos on social medias with their children as if they were the "dream family"???!!!

a gay man married to a woman can still have children with her, even if they don't want to have sex she can be implanted.

Since most women want to experience child birth I'd say anyone who uses a surrogate does so because she can't carry the child herself. (but the husband could still be gay.)

Oh, look at her Negro maid @ r97!

R97 Goodness, he looks like his about to backhand her!

[quote]Since most women want to experience child birth...

Uh, no. Many women want children so have to go through the experience if they aren't rich enough to hire it out but it's a rare woman who wants to experience child birth.

I've read on another thread that "Surrogacy = Gay Couple"(a man and a woman married, of course). Is it, almost always, true ?

Were there any rumors of miscarriage? That could be the reason why they went the surrogate route.

Gianluca looks mad. Or is that just an Italian thing?

Men often get mad once a baby comes along because they are not the center of their wife's world anymore. Big babies, themselves. They literally pout. It's disgusting to see a grown man pout because he's jealous of a baby but it happens all the time.

R107 Is it, almost always, true ?

In Hollywood the answer is yes

many closeted celebs fake their pregnancy Jolie, Kidman, Katie Holmes, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Diane Kruger and many more

Bey, JLo Katie Homes are closeted?? No, those faked the pregnancy because the didn't want to ruin their bodies (IF they faked it)

(R110) You're right, but I was told it wasn't only in Hollywood......

R113 I think you're right because i don't think zuckerberg's kids are his.They look 100% asian not part caucasian!

R113 and some Royals and politicians too

I do think zuckerberg isn't straight

You know who is gay? Everyone!!!

don't let that multiple marriages and kids fool you

Boy, what a bunch of nutty speculation here. Lots of couples try for years to have a baby by natural means and then turn to other means. Doesn't mean the couple have a bearding arrangement. Same way, there are a lot of gay men married to women who have naturally conceived kids.

Female fertility starts to decline significantly around the age of 35, but it really falls off a cliff at the age of 42 or so. At which point, it can be a lot easier to use a surrogate than go through the hormonal hoops of IVF and then carrying a pregnancy--particularly for actresses trying to avoid big weight fluctuations.

Chastain is tiny--she may well have not had enough body fat to easily carry a pregnancy. She also might have had a miscarriage earlier and decided not to risk another one.

Her using a surrogacy doesn't say one thing or another about her sexuality. She could have gotten pregnant with a turkey baster if she'd wanted to avoid the peen.

R118 She also might have had a miscarriage earlier

Yeah like Whitney Houston and her fake miscarriages? I wonder why it has to be always closeted lesbians (of Hollywood) who have miscarriage!

R114 Most hapas look asian you idiot. It doesn't prove anything,

Chastain isn't tiny. She's short but thick. She's not some waif.

By normal American standards, she's tiny. The camera adds weight and height.

R119, Since one in four pregnancies end up in miscarriages, yes, Hollywood lesbians have some of them.

She's like 5'3/5'4 and 130lb. She's completely average, not tiny. She looks like she could squat her dandy husband's weight.

R118, she’s quite stout and hippy. A couple of years ago she gained quite a bit of weight, was probably trying IVF.

As it is at this point she likely starves herself to stay the weight she is.

Chastain before breast implant

Is Reese Witherspoon tiny? What about Kristen Stewart?

She looks good in an MTF way.

R46 They’re not even trying to hide it

R127 She looks tittied upped enough to feed 12 suckers.

Maybe she's going to divorce him but milk the whole 'happy co-parents' angle. That seems to be what other aging actresses resort to when they start to lose relevancy (Goop, Faris, Garner).

How many DLers have had her husband? Spill, boys!

(R132) Because all the closeted actors, mentioned on DL, have had sex with DLers???!!!

With Derek Blasberg and Courtney Love

Why is she dressed like that? White high tops? Sweatpants? Did she time travel to us from 1986?

With her Dandy Husband having fun in Brazil:

Gian Luca looks a lot happier and relaxed when he is with his friends in Italy;

Gian Luca looks a lot happier and relaxed when he is with his friends in Italy:

In the pictures of them walking with her carrying the baby, her husband looks like a bastard piece of shit. Just sayin'

Wooaoaooaoaoaoaoaooaoaoa whaaaaaaaaat? Amy Adams is one of the actresses who potentially or allegedly slept with Harvey? She literally never once crossed my mind with the 25 or so that have been linked with him. Looking back she does have about 89 oscar nominations it seems lol.

Well thats one thing nobody can say about Jessica Chastain. She may be an enable (see Mathew Newtown) but she never slept with Harvey.

R142 I think Harvey harrassed Jessica's best friend, Jess Weixler but that's it.

That woman with her in R134's link looks more like lesbian partner dealing with new mommy stress than the playboy hubby pouting and looking angry.

He looks so different when he is clean shaved, also way less attractive. No wonder he has been sporting the beard ever since he and Jessica hooked up.

The best Chastain will ever get is Supporting, and when people look back on her career, if they bother to do so, it will be in wonder at how she ever worked with so many prestigious directors and writers while never amounting to anything.

She was with Ned Benson on the set of THE HELP. It seems that at her first major fashion show she matched onto Gian Luca who gave her connections to fashion and a wealthier world. What a social climber.

She's a good actress, I think. A hard worker. But charismatic? A stunner? Draws the audience into the story? Her rise will always be a mystery to me.

they always look miserable when they are together so i think they are a real couple.

R145 He used to be so cheerful in those days. When he started dating Jessica he forgot how to smile. I found that really odd. If you are not happy with someone just... walk away.

R150 has never been in a relationship longer than two weeks.

R151 Gian Luca is that you?

Chastain is an enabler. Just ask Mathew Newton's numerous victims.

I've never watched any of her films they just didn't interest me!Is she any good?

They don't have any chemistry between them, at least in photos. And they look miserable together, but she speaks highly of him.

Can we say she “had a daughter” if she paid someone else to do it?

I like her but she didn’t become a mother, she basically adopted a child.

R154 Aside from Joelene & The Help, the answer is No - she isn't any good.

she wrote this on twitter:

" know that I haven’t been as present on insta this past year. Thank you all for respecting my privacy while I was blessed with the gift of becoming a mother. I must say that 2018 has been the best year of my life. So much love and joy to all of you. Happy New Year ❤️"

Agree with R1 and R2 - this post sounds like a sad, stay at home mom, sitting in yoga pants, listening to Tay Tay, trying to infiltrate the lounge. Possibly due to being banned from Celebitchy for not praising St Ange vehemently enough.

I can't wait for Molly's Game to debut soon on Showtime. I will be watching and drooling at those succulent breasts of hers.

Fucking hate her. So self-righteous.

Remember, I had Blue Ivy completely naturally, OP. I even went out in public visibly pregnant.

[quote]competitive nature won't allow for raven-haired Adams to succeed or prosper.

Amy Adams is a redhead like Chastain. Ravens are black, and someone who is raven-haired has black hair.

And it’s a ridiculous comment anyway, considering the huge career success Adams has had and continues to have.

What a lovely heterosexual couple:

Tobia now has a girlfriend? I've never seen him with a woman before. And his IG seems pretty gay:

DL thought he was dating Rdgar Ramirez, and Jessica was the matchmaker.Lol

"New Mom Jessica Chastain Shares First Glimpse at Her Baby Girl Ahead of Golden Globes 2019":

"You’ve got good taste, kid"

R165 He has gayface in the pic you posted, but his instgram just looks like a run of the mill straight euro-trash with money. Nothing really gay about it.

When she presented at the Golden Globes with AnnE I thought DL's head would explode.

R174 I totally ship them.
