Hugh Grant has become a father for the first time
Hugh Grant took a woman for dinner at a plush restaurant in Germany just hours before confirming he's become a father.
The Notting Hill star issued a statement on Tuesday announcing he has a one-month old daughter following a "fleeting affair" with a woman, who is believed to be former model Tinglan Hong.
The previous evening, Grant was spotted dining at an eaterie in Berlin with a German singer he met recently in London.
German publication Bild reports the woman is Elisa Schmidt, who became friends with the actor when she was working at a recording studio in the U.K. capital.
They were reportedly seen hand-in-hand on a street outside the restaurant after their meal before cosying up in the back of a cab.
Schmidt tells the publication: "We connected and became good friends. But there is nothing more. We are just friends. As he is in Berlin right now, he took me out for dinner, that is all."
