She would show up in low-cut tops and miniskirts, but I thought that was just because girls are so overly sexualised in southern California. When Leo was 1, David recommended we hire Simone, an 18-year-old aspiring actress whom he mentored. As the primary breadwinner, I continued to take on new acting roles - mostly theatre gigs, but also occasional small parts on popular shows including True Blood, New Girl and Masters of Sex. David offered to stay at home with the baby he loved being involved, and he was an amazing father. I was 40, and knew that this was probably my only shot at becoming a mother. Instead, all I got was an “Aww.”īut after six years of dating, I pushed David to have a baby.

I was hoping for a moment straight out of a romantic comedy, where he would call me the love of his life, too. “You know, it just hit me: If we end up staying together, you will go down in history as the great love of my life,” I told him one night after four years of dating.

But the oldest video on David’s computer wasn’t one of Leo splashing in the bathtub. The computer had once belonged to me, and I wanted to make sure I hadn’t left any important videos - such as Leo’s birth - behind. So when David accidentally left his laptop at my place, I didn’t think anything of turning it on.

Three months after my husband, David, and I decided to end our marriage in 2013, I was impressed with how successfully our co-parenting strategy was working.

The 47-year-old Weedman - author of Miss Fortune: Fresh Perspectives on Having It All From Someone Who Is Not Okay (Plume, out now) - told New York Post’s Lindsay Putnam how her marriage fell apart. The actress had been with her husband, David*, for 11 years when she found evidence of his affair with their teenage babysitter. Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Garner are just the latest crop of famous women whose husbands were allegedly involved with their nannies - and it’s a cliche Lauren Weedman knows all too well.
