Ansel Elgort has been spotted out in New York City with a newborn baby strapped to his chest.
Ansel Elgort has quietly become a father.
The 31-year-old star, best known for his roles in The Fault in Our Stars and The Goldfinch, is reportedly a new father, with a source confirming the news to People. The confirmation came after the actor was spotted out in public holding a newborn during a low-key outing in New York City.
Details surrounding the baby remain unknown at this time, with no information yet revealed about the child’s name or gender. Elgort himself has not commented publicly on becoming a parent.
The actor was photographed on January 13 running errands in New York with the baby strapped to his chest in a carrier. Despite the life-changing milestone, Elgort appeared relaxed and casual for the winter stroll, wearing black leather trousers, matching boots tucked beneath them, and a blue-and-white knit sweater.
He was accompanied by a mystery woman, who kept a similarly understated profile in denim jeans, a black top and a white cropped puffer jacket. The pair were later seen taking the subway together, where they reportedly met up with two older individuals believed to be the woman’s parents.
Elgort has long been known for keeping his personal life relatively private, particularly in recent years. He was previously in a high-profile relationship with ballerina Violetta Komyshan, whom he dated for nearly a decade. The former couple first met as teenagers while attending LaGuardia High School in New York City and were often seen supporting one another at public events and premieres.
Rumours of their split began circulating in August 2022 after Elgort was photographed kissing a mystery woman. The breakup was later confirmed, with reports stating that Elgort and Komyshan officially ended their relationship in November of that year.
