Tom Ford….a father?
Turns out making overpriced clothes does not make the uber designer happy — he now wants to make a baby!
In the spring issue of Fantastic Man (The Gentleman’s Style Journal) on newsstands this week, the openly gay designer says that he has everything. Except one.
Says Tom:
“I’m going to have a kid in 2008. Richard (Buckley, Ford’s longtime partner) knows I’ve wanted this for a long time. He’s just resisted it. He would be a spectacular father. It’s going to give his life new meaning.“It will be biologically mine. I mean, I’m a lot younger. If things follow their natural order, [Richard will] probably leave the planet ahead of me, and I can’t not have had something I’ve wanted forever.
“I’ve always wanted kids. I don’t want to get to be 75-years-old and just have made a lot of dresses, done some houses.”
No word on whose oven the bun will be baked in.
And just start praying now that a Tom Ford children’s clothing is not around the corner!

I am available at 8 p.m. tonight.
Let’s go TOM!!!
I’d have his baby is a heartbeat.
Good for him, I think he would make a lovely father. I am sure he won’t have a hard time finding a surrogate. You go Tm
that’s great, good for him. And yes, he is gorgeous!
He’s awesome. They will be great parents and give the kid so many advantages. I hope they have several. Good luck to them!
He is absolutely beautiful. I’d have his baby.
How unfortunate for the trophy kid.
If he’s serious about having the kid in 2008, he’d better stop talking and start fertilizing.
BTW, whether it’s a gay or straight relationship: forcing a child on an unwilling partner is a recipe for disaster.
It seems, by the way that he’s speaking, that Richard needed a bit of persuasion on the idea. The way he says things make him sound a bit spoilt somehow? Maybe its just the way I’m reading it. A baby is a huge change in somebody’s life so I hope he’s making the right decision. He leads such a busy life that it might be hard for him to find the time to raise a baby. He seems pretty adamant on it though, so good luck to him. I hope he makes it work!
haha wow… “If things follow their natural order, [Richard will] probably leave the planet ahead of me” -
that’s very blunt
Hey Tom, self involved much?
