Up until now, Minnie Driver has not revealed who the father of her three-year-old son is. The 42-year-old actress now says she “doesn’t need to protect him anymore” and announces the father of her son, Henry, was a writer on her former TV show “The Riches”.

She told The Observer Magazine, “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.

It had been rumored that Minnie was dating the TV writer when she found out she was pregnant. As soon as she found out she was with-child, he ended their relationship.

She still didn’t name the man by name, but she’s talking about him. “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.”

She would love to have more children, but she’s not wanting to do it on her own. “Henry’s dad and I probably wouldn’t have any more together, but I would love to have more. 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.”

Minnie admits she was the product of an affair herself. She was one of two children who were the product of an affair between their millionaire father Ron Driver, and Minnie’s mother. Ron was married – and had another daughter – and they had no idea he was leading a double life.

How did Minnie cope being single during her pregnancy? ? “I had good friends around me, so it was sort of hilarious.”
