“X-Men” director Bryan Singer and “Queer as Folk” alum Michelle Clunie are having a baby together

MODERN FAMILY: Saw this on my Facebook feed when I got home from Pippin last night: The lovely actress Michelle Clunie is having a child with X-Men director Bryan Singer who is her ex-boyfriend.

Michelle, who played Melanie for five seasons on Showtime’s Queer as Folk is 7.5 months pregnant and wrote on Facebook last night: “We dated. We broke up. He came out to me. We still loved each other and so made a pact we would start a family together some day. We are now 7 1/2 months pregnant and very excited about co-parenting and starting our little 21st century, progressive, American family. I have never been happier. All your warm wishes, support and congrats really carried me through this day of almost every article getting it wrong. Hey, as long as the story is the only thing that breaks today, I’m fine Thank you my sweet, gorgeous friends.You are all so beautiful. I love you xoMichelle”

Singer had a rough time earlier this year when a lawsuit, later dropped, was filed against him by a man alleging sexual abuse by singer. One of Singer’s staunchest defenders throughout the ordeal was Clunie.

Singer’s rep Simon Halls tells E! Online: “I can confirm that Michelle Clunie and Bryan Singer are happily expecting a baby together in early 2015. Best friends for 25 years, mother and father are both very excited about the upcoming birth and look forward to co-parenting the child together. The pair have been planning this baby for years and have been trying for the last two.”
