Westfeldt likes her life as a working actor and director, she's passionate about her artistic projects, and she has no particular desire to have children. I think people sometimes get this wrong because she made a movie with Adam Scott (Friends with Kids) where she played a woman who wants kids enough that she has a baby with her best friend. But it was fiction, and a role. She doesn't want kids.

So Hamm saying he wants kids with his younger girlfriend now is in keeping with what he said his priorities were when he and Westfeldt split. You'll notice Westfeldt is still happily childless even though she could have adopted or done IVF with a sperm donor since their split. She didn't. She doesn't want kids.

I do hope Hamm deals with his drinking problem and any other issues before he has children with anyone. I have a soft spot for him because I think his drinking issues are largely driven by the way he went from virtual unknown actor nearing middle age to super hot leading man, while starring on an AMC television show. It's an unusual path and his work and income has never quite matched up with his public perception as a Clooney-esque figure. I think he's struggle to adjust to fame and there is a part of him who wishes he still had Westfeldt's semi-obscurity -- she gets to just make little movies and do theater or television projects while living a largely normal life (albeit a great one). Hamm left that behind and is now too recognizable and high profile to have that. Plus their breakup meant he also lost the most stabilizing influence in his life. I'm glad he's found someone new and seems to be happy with her.

Hamm/Westfeldt have long been one of my favorite actor couples and I wish them both nothing but the best.

How can they be one of your favorite actor couples if they haven’t been a couple in almost 10 years?

I think they are both great actors (and she’s a good director/writer) and I like that they stayed together for 18 years even once he got famous. I also think they both seem like pretty down to earth people even if he is quite troubled. I know a lot of people troubled on the same way he is.

I prefer celeb couples like this to the fantasy couples who present these very crafted brands and public personas. Life is not actually like that. These two seem real and it makes me root for them even if they aren’t together.

I only discovered Jon Hamm during the pandemic in Mad Men. Love him! His progressive commercials make me laugh every time. For all the hens trashing him, his parents died when he was young. He had a lot of challenges as a result.

He is no longer sober. He said exactly that.

He needs to stop wearing those glasses. They look ridiculous.

Well that changes the narrative quite a bit. He wants kids, she didn’t, he stayed with her for 18 years despite this and his rising stardom. If he always hopes to have kids and can now achieve that good for him

His drinking stems from the fact that his single mom died when he was 10. Then Hamm was sent to live with his estranged emotionally unavailable father who had no idea how to talk to him.

Hamm is pretty much Don Draper IRL. That's a big reason why Weiner selected him for the role.

Listen to the Howard Stern interview; it's really good.

And who also promptly died when he was 20.
This exactly. Old childhood traumas.

My sense is that when he was younger, earlier in their relationship, he was less interested in kids. That changed as he got older. I think they actually stayed together for quite a while after that shift happened for him because they'd been together for so long and he didn't want to leave her. He's talked in interviews about how she was his family and as someone who didn't have much family at all growing up, it wasn't something he could take lightly. I think for a time he tried to convince himself that he could be happy just the two of them.

I don't get the hate for him in this thread. He had a sad, neglectful childhood, he was a devoted boyfriend for 18 years (I don't remember any rumors of cheating on either side?), he has struggled with alcohol abuse which is not surprising given his history, and now he's in what appears to be a solid relationship with someone who seems to share his desire for children.

He seems like a good guy who struggles with inner demons. I think people have a hard time separating him from Don Draper and while they do have some things in common, they are very much not the same person. Hamm seems like someone who is very straightforward (not living some deceptive double life) and honest about what he wants and needs. That doesn't mean he's a perfect person with no weaknesses, but he's not a liar and a cheat like Draper was.

He seems to have a type of look he is attracted to! I wish him the best. I adore Jennifer Westfeldt and Kissing Jessica Stein remains a favorite movie of mine.

You're thinking he's attracted to himself or was that a typo?

PP means Jennifer W and new gf are similar physical types, tall thin long strawberry blonde hair.

He has a dark side, never thought well of him after reading about his role in a horrifying hazing incident:

He's probably gay like Leo and just wants people to think he's normal.

Aren’t gay people “normal” too?
