Black Celebrity Men

Congratulations to Jaleel White. He's somebody's baby daddy! The 33-year-old actor has a 7-month-old daughter with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Hardy. And even though they're not together anymore, the parents collectively decided to raise their baby girl in Washington state (where Bridget resides) instead of under the bright lights of Hollywood, California. I guess Jaleel, who is understandably protective of his little girl, wants to give her the normal, stress-free childhood he didn't have while growing up. Last month, he posted on his Twitter account:

"I am a proud father of a 7 mo. old baby girl. In the interest of child development, she lives a fame-free life."

Jaleel and Bridget were together for three years before breaking up shortly after the baby was born). Bridget wanted to get married, but Jaleel wasn't ready. He's trying to focus on rebooting his career. Yeah, well, good luck with that, Steve/Stephan Urkel/Urkelle. Although Jaleel still lives in Hollywood, he visits Bridget and their baby regularly. According to one source, his little girl is the most important thing going on in his life --and he's absolutely crazy about her.
