I always forget that Edward Norton has had a girlfriend for years. For some reason, in my mind, he’s perpetually forlorn and single after he and Salma Hayek broke up, but no, he moved on to Shauna Robertson, who is Canadian and “film producer”. I’m including some photos of Shauna with Edward in Cannes last year – is she giving anyone else Vera Farmiga vibes? It took me forever to figure that out – she could be Vera Farmiga’s sister. Anyway, Edward and Shauna have been together for a while but everyone always forgets because Edward is crazy-private and he’s also not around that much anymore – his career has definitely faltered since he got the reputation as a know-it-all jackass who demands constant re-writes, etc. He’s known as a “handful”. And it’s about to get worse – Edward is about to become a dad!
Edward Norton is about to take on the role of a lifetime: dad! The Moonrise Kingdom actor, 43, is set to welcome his first child with longtime love Shauna Robertson “any day now,” a source tells Us Weekly.
“Ed is really excited for fatherhood. He helped pick out a stroller for the baby!” the insider tells Us of the famously private star.
Norton and Robertson, a Canadian film producer who has worked frequently with Judd Apatow on movies including The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, reportedly got engaged in 2011 after six years of dating. Together, they co-founded the fundraising site CrowdRise, which uses crowd-sourcing and incentives to get people to raise money for various charitable causes.
Prior to meeting Robertson, Norton romanced Courtney Love and Salma Hayek. A rep for the actor had no comment regarding Roberton’s pregnancy.
What’s with all of the undercover paternity lately? Jeremy Renner’s situation was like this too –Renner knocked up an ex-girlfriend, moved her into his guest house and no one knew anything until his ex was like eight months along. And now it seems like Edward is on the verge of becoming a dad too – any day now! Well, congrats to him. I hope fatherhood chills him out a little bit. Maybe he’ll learn how to not be so controlling.
