This has to be one of the BEST kept secrets in Hollywood: who is the father of Minnie Driver’s three-year-old son, Henry? Turns out he was a writer on the TV show ‘The Riches,’ but she didn’t disclose his name.

“I don’t need to protect him any more. He can fend for himself. He’s a grown-up. We weren’t together and he wasn’t directly in the business so I chose to protect him and not have a rain of publicity. He’s not famous. There’s no big story.”

Minnie said he’s starting to be more involved in Henry’s life.

“Is he a good dad? Sort of. He’s figuring it out… I mean, he hasn’t been that involved, his choice. But he is now.”

Well, that’s good news, for Henry’s sake! Minnie said she’d like to have more children but doesn’t want to raise two on her own.

“Henry’s dad and I probably wouldn’t have any more together, but I would love to have more. But I couldn’t do another one without a partner; I couldn’t do two as a single mum, I really couldn’t. It would be too much.”

That’s understandable! I wonder if the guy she was out with is a candidate?
