January Jones has never revealed who the father of her son, Xander, 20 months, is. Although there’s been speculation it could be her ex, Jason Sudeikis, she has never spilled the beans and likely won’t for some time.

In a May 19 interview with the New York Times, the 35 year old Mad Men actress was once again asked who her son’s father is.

“That's my son's business," she said. "It's not the public's business."

Jones went on to share some advice she got from veteran actor Jack Nicholson, who is notoriously private as well. "Jack Nicholson once told me: 'You should never give your personal life away, otherwise people will pick you apart,” she explained, Us Magazine notes. “They'll never believe in your character.”

She went on to say that she likes keeping the identity of Xander’s father a mystery, noting "Women should have lots of secrets. It's our right to have secrets. Otherwise, what would we write in our memoirs?"

Besides Sudeikis, who is now engaged to Olivia Wilde, Jones has dated Ashton Kutcher and Josh Groban.
