Pregnancy Announcement by Robin Thicke’s Girlfriend Comes Months After He Approaches Settlement In Custody Dispute with Paula Patton

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

A new bundle of joy is entering the Robin Thicke household months after the singer lost his actor father.

Thicke’s 22-year-old model girlfriend, April Geary, announced the exciting news on Instagram Thursday, Aug. 17. Adding to the special moment is the March 1 due date for the baby, which would have been the 70th birthday of Thicke’s late dad, Alan Thicke, who starred as Jason Sever on “Growing Pains.”

The new addition, which TMZ reported is a girl, will join 7-year-old big brother Julian Fuego, whom 40-year-old Thicke shares with his ex-wife, Paula Patton.

In March, TMZ reported the former couple agreed to sign a custody deal within a week that would allow Thicke to spend more time with their son. At the time, the Los Angeles County Dept. of Children and Family Services had an open case against Thicke. Julian complained to teachers that his dad had been using excessive corporal punishment, making him fearful of his dad, which he reportedly denied. However, Julian had been spending more time with his dad while his mom was away at work, becoming more “comfortable” with the “Give It 2 U” performer.

Thicke and Patton divorced in 2015, but the singer began dating Geary in 2014 just months after his separation from Patton was announced.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
