Actress Minnie Driver appeared on The View, talking about her son Henry and being a single mum.

During a recent appearance on The View, actress Minnie Driver recalled her long birth story to her now 10-month old son Henry. The actress joked saying, “He had such a big head. It started, and then it stopped…he would begin to arrive, and then it would stop; It was completely insane.” She added that the end result was definitely worth it. “Yes, I would do it again,” she said. “It’s the greatest love affair of my life, with this baby.”

Minnie revealed that Henry was a “beautiful, unplanned” surprise. Although she is no longer involved with Henry’s father, she says, “I’m a single mom, [but] his dad is amazing and in his life. I don’t feel alone. Babies attract love…They attract people who love them.”

Minnie did not offer many details on who Henry’s father is. She said, “My celebrity is not his celebrity and I don’t think you should have the attention dumped on an unwilling bystander. It’s not his [career] to have the paparazzi and [other] people in his business; I chose to do this, not him.”

The actress added that everyone seems to be attracted to her son Henry. Even while filming her new film Betty Anne Waters in Detroit, she said that she had teamster and workers that just “loved Henry.”

“I’m still breastfeeding him, and it would be time to nurse and you’d hear them over the walkie-talkies [in male voice]: ‘Yo, we got Minnie here, and the baby’s gotta breastfeed.’ You’d hear it crackling over the set. It was really funny.”

Minnie’s movie will hit theaters later this year.
