January Jones’s baby daddy blind item: Ashton Kutcher? Seriously?

Here are some new photos of January Jones and her baby Xander, who is being carried by a nanny. Because apparently January doesn’t want to be photographed holding her own baby. That’s like something Goop would think up, honestly. Or maybe January doesn’t want to be photographed with Xander because she knows that it will only spur more speculation as to the baby daddy?

Last week, I wrote about the latest rumors concerning paternity of January Jones’s little baby boy, Xander. Too many of you had emailed and commented that little Xander was a ginger (he’s not really) and that because of this faux “ginger” status, Michael Fassbender MUST be the father. Like January wasn’t wandering around with Bobby Flay last year, right? Anyway, I completely dismiss the idea that Fassie would get anywhere near January’s cold, vanilla bitchery, and I continue to believe that the baby daddy is a married man who worked with January on X-Men: First Class. If you do the math, you can easily figure out that January was in London, working on X-Men while she conceived. I have my theory of who the baby-daddy is, but no one is saying and no one wants to get sued, so all of it has just remained in “hypothesis” status.

Then last week, Blind Gossip had a blind item that everyone suspected was about January and her mystery paternity. The blind item:

This married actor had a one-night stand with one of his exes, who is an actress in an acclaimed television show. She wound up pregnant.

The actor’s wife found out about the baby, and, to no one’s surprise, went completely ballistic. Both the actor and his wife tried every tactic (money, lawyers, threats to ruin her career) to convince the ex to terminate the pregnancy.

Despite enormous pressure from all sides, the ex decided to keep the baby. The actor’s marriage is now on the rocks. We’re not sure how long everyone can remain tight-lipped about this one. It will be difficult to keep such a bombshell out of divorce proceedings, which will likely occur before the New Year.

Michael K theorized it was January, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, and ever since then, everybody has been citing this blind item like it’s a sure thing. Media outlets are even calling Ashton and January’s reps to get confirmations or denials (the reps aren’t talking).

Now, Ashton and January did date – from 1998 to 2001. Which is when he broke up with her for Brittany Murphy, right? And then he went on to Demi. But in interviews, January has said that Ashton was unsupportive of her career, and that he was kind of a d-bag to her. So why would she go back for a one night stand with her douchey ex? It doesn’t make any sense, especially when you think that Ashton probably would have had to fly to London to impregnate her. Bad blind item!
