Celebrity Babies out of Wedlock

Well, recent news about the New England Patriot's quarterback, Tom Brady having a child with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, has disappointed me.

But you know, it's not just Brady. It's celebrities in general that are having babies outside of marriage. Here's the thing - even though I am opposed to sex outside of marriage based on religious beliefs, that's not what gets me about this issue.

As a father myself, I would feel awful about cheating my son out of a traditional home with a mother and father. As much as I would like to give my son a charmed lifestyle like Brady's child will probably have, I believe having a traditional home to grow up in is far more valuable. Growing up with your real father and real mom is important. Granted, some circumstances don't allow for that to happen, but please, don't plan on having a child that way.

Now, let me add this. What's done is done and the child deserves the best. I'm not judging Brady by any means. Mistakes happen, but often I hear too many celebrities (and non celebrities even) discussing the idea of having a child and not being married. I don't think that is the case with Brady, but when public figures have children like this it doesn't help matters.

I know this isn't a new rant for most people, but it's MY rant for today.
