The rumor mill has been spinning again and this time it’s talking babies. James Marsden and January Jones’ brief involvement in 2011led to a speculation that the hunky star was the father of her son Xander, reports E! Online.
The private actors quietly denied the rumors thus far, but recently Marsden has spoken out about the accusation openly. In the December issue of Playboy Marsden refuted the question of his fatherhood, stating “There’s so much stupid talk out there. I think that came from somebody thinking we were both in X-Men so it must be true.”
The X-Men star seemed light hearted about the situation when he continued with, “Every time I see January, she’s like, ‘Hey, father of my baby.’”
Both of the actors have a thick skin when it comes to rumors about their personal lives. According to E! the Mad Men actress refuses to reveal the father of her son. When asked by the New York Times the star stayed strong stating “That’s my son’s business, it’s not the public’s business.”
Jones has put up with the constant badgering about her single-parenthood but she claimed in an interview with The Edit that this was her plan all along. In the interview the star stated "It was something I went in to knowingly, I was prepared mentally—and I was excited about it.” Pried to answer once more about the father Jones stuck to her guns asserting “It’s just not something the public needs to know” reports E!
So there you have it, the stars have spoken and there will be no family ties between January Jones and James Marsden. Though we can’t say it wouldn’t be a beautiful union (Jones and Marsden might have been the real life Prince Charming and Cinderella). One thing’s for sure Xander has got himself one independent mom.
