Why is Daniel Giersch upset about his wife Kelly Rutherford having a baby?”
The ill will from a divorce and custody battle between Kelly Rutherford and her husband has now apparently reached into the hospital delivery room. The Gossip Girl star welcomed her second child, daughter Helena, on Monday, but the actress’s estranged husband, German entrepreneur Daniel Giersch, tells PEOPLE he was never notified of the birth, and instead read about it in online reports, some unfavorable toward him. “Media reports claiming that I neglected to attend my daughter’s birth are total lies and fabrication,” Giersch says in a statement. “I was never informed by Kelly about the birth of our daughter, nor was I invited to attend. In fact, I found out about it through Internet reports like everyone else. Although this sickens me, I am of course overjoyed that our baby was born healthy. I would’ve wanted nothing more than to hold our newborn daughter for a few moments, and I only seek to coparent both our children responsibly and with love.” Giersch says he had a verbal agreement
Actress Kelly Rutherford has given birth to her second child following months of bitter court wranglings with the baby’s father, Daniel Giersch. The “Gossip Girl” star welcomed a baby girl on Monday night at a Los Angeles hospital, according to RadarOnline.com. It is not known if Giersch was present for the birth. The pair filed for divorce last year and have since been embroiled in a custody battled over their 2-year-old son Hermes. In May, Rutherford accused her businessman ex of putting Hermes in danger by not covering the swimming pool at his home, after admitting hiring a private investigator to secretly film at the property.
