Clunie announced her pregancy in October, saying that she was not serving as a surrogate for her bisexual former boyfriend and that the pair – who have been friends for over 25 years – would be raising the child together.
“‘We dated. We broke up. He came out to me,” the 45-year-old explained. “We still loved each other and so made a pact we would start a family together some day. We are … very excited about co-parenting and starting our little 21st century, progressive, American family.”
49-year-old Singer was recently the target of a lawsuit by Michael Egan, who accused that the Superman Returns filmmaker of teenage sexual abuse, before dropping the charges last August.
