Kevin Costner becomes a father for fifth time

Kevin Costner's fifth child, a baby boy, was born on Thursday night in Los Angeles, Us Magazine reports. Costner's fifth child, his second with wife Christine, weighed 8 lbs., 15 oz., and will be named Hayes Logan. "Both mother and son are doing well," the actor's representative confirmed.

The couple's first child was born in May 2007. Prior to that, Costner had been afraid to have more children with his second wife. "Christine wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn't be an effective father," he told Parade Magazine last August, but changed his mind when he realized he had found real love.

Costner is not the only celebrity father who had doubts. Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and others have their own comments about fatherhood.

"I'd love to have kids, but I don't want to repeat the cycle of abuse my parents started. I never knew my father and I'd hate to repeat that kind of cycle with my own children, because I'd also want to be there for them no matter what. My early life was a complete nightmare. My father left home and my mother then married a guy who never liked my brother Joe and me." Mickey Rourke comes clean. (Source: celebrity-babies.com)

"Being a father in a big loving family like I have is the high point of my life. It's a very comforting feeling. There's nothing better than being a father. It can be tiring sometimes, but I'm lucky that Angie is so incredibly organised and has so much energy. She's amazing. The twins take a lot of her time and it's very demanding looking after them, but she always makes sure that our other children get a lot of love and attention," Brad Pitt said and backing up the idea that there's a strong mother behind every successful father.(Source: Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph)

"I thought of a horror film about parenting, incorporating the male fear of fatherhood," Said director John McKay and apparently uses everything as a movie idea. (Source: www.celebrityparents.com)

"I used to go through the world, thinking I was seeing things clearly, but I was really kind of stumbling and viewing events through a haze, like a gauze or something," he said. "Then the instant my baby was born, I looked at her and immediately - instantly - everything came into a sharp focus. (…) I looked at her, this pure little angel, that I was just meeting for the first time, and I realized I had known her for 10,000 years. There will never be anyone that will know me better, that will understand me just by a look. I know I will never be closer to another human being." Johnny Depp poetically said.

"The other day, when my 4-year-old saw a flowering tree and said, 'Daddy, it's raining petals,' that was poetry that just melted my heart into a mushy, yummy Fudgsicle," Brendan Fraser said. He knows his metaphors. (Source: www.raisingkids.co.uk)
