Jonah Hill and girlfriend Olivia Millar welcome their first child after keeping pregnancy secret
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA: Jonah Hill has now become a father as his girlfriend Olivia Millar has reportedly given birth to their child. The 'Superbad' star and his girlfriend had kept their pregnancy a secret, but when they failed to show up for Hill's sister Beanie Feldstein's wedding, it gave rise to suspicions that they were either beyond due or had already given birth.
A representative for the 'Don't Look Up' star revealed that Hill and his fiancee Olivia Millar had their first child, according to People. Hill and Millar had previously made the decision to put off their wedding in order to have their first child. Hill, who has distanced himself from the public spotlight in recent years, addressed in an open letter to his supporters that he has long struggled with anxiety and panic attacks, and why he would not promote his documentary 'Stutz' in the summer of 2022.
What did Jonah Hill state in the open letter?
Hill wrote in August, "The whole purpose of making this film is to give therapy and the tools I've learned in therapy to a wide audience for private use through an entertaining film," according to Rolling Stone.
Hill added, "Through this journey of self-discovery within the film, I have come to the understanding that I have spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public-facing events."
'The privileged few who can afford to take time off'
The '21 Jump Street' star acknowledges that he is among "the privileged few who can afford to take time off" and that he "won't lose my job while working on my anxiety," according to Rolling Stones. He hopes that by being open about his anxiety, he will "make it more normal for people to talk and act on this stuff."
Hill added, "They can take steps towards feeling better and so that the people in their lives might understand their issues more clearly. I hope the work will speak for itself, and I'm grateful to my collaborators, my business partners, and to all reading this for your understanding and support."
