Reading about someone called David Grhol fathering a 'love child' it made me wonder which famous person I'd like to be the love child of

Hitler

I tend to feel sorry for the child of a famous father or mother, because I would imagine it could put all sorts of unwanted pressure on the child.
Comparisons are almost inevitable, whether the parent is intellectually outstanding, where school in particular could be hell, or in the fields of the arts, where acting, songwriting, musicianship etc, is on public display.

Reminds me of something I read about the nephew saying his uncle is superman and no one believed him, they had a surprise when he took him to school 👍

I must admit, I hate the term "love child".

If you actually love somebody enough to deliberately produce a child with them, then you stay with them and bring the child up together.

Fathering a bastard outside your marriage or long term partnership, while intending staying with your long term partner is not IMO a "love child".

Yes, but think of it in the perspective of the innocent child brought into this world. I reckon that's preferable to being called a "bastard" or a "one night stand" or "toilet" child.

Really?

"Oh, my dad loved my mum enough to impregnate her, but not enough to leave his wife and other children. That makes me a 'love child'."

Even thoiug in this particular case, Grohl said he intends being a supporting and loving parent to the child.

People are a lot less black and white about it tbh. This happened with my uncle and fathered more of a "secret" child that nobody know about in the family until he died and he showed up at the funeral. He saw him as his dad and not some media made up label.

Maybe you're right: maybe "bastard" is kinder on the child.

I'd never heard of him

He was the drummer for Nirvana, one of the biggest bands of the 90s. He then went on to front Foo Fighters, one of the biggest bands in the late 90s and noughties. From what I've seen of him, he's an all round decent guy

Nah that's Dave Grohl. David Grhol is someone else altogether. A serial philanderer and fatherer of babes.

Yes, I understand that. I just don't like the term "love child", as if a child born in a normal loving ling term relationships is not a "love child".

I was always happy to be the love child of my happily married parents, I’d not have wanted it any other way.

None. Life can be hard enough without being the acknowledged or unacknowledged offspring of someone famous (or even some nonentity celebrity reality TV person) without the media attention that goes with it.
