Well, now her wikipedia entry says.

Blalock legally changed her name to Jolene Ava King Rapino before the birth of her son. Blalock and Rapino gave birth to a baby boy, Ryder James Rapino on May 25 2010.

But no source is given. And the fishy thing is that her imdb.com bio is written by someone calling himself "Ryder James".

I'm not sure the date May 25th is plausible. She appeared on a number of promo interviews for her guest spot on Legend of the Seeker in January (including this one on the 22nd). Does she look pregnant there? I met my pregnant sister (who otherwise lives in Germany) around that time and it showed. My sis gave birth on May 29th.

So I guess we're still in the realm of maybe/maybe not.

But, I did look at that clip...her face looks a little fuller to me, she seems to be "glowing", and the gathers in her dress could easily hide a little weight gain, which may not be much as she'd only be in about her fourth month going on fifth here.

Aquarious the clip you mentioned is it from the interviews she did for Legend of the seeker?

Yeah, it's linked up in the quote by KTR. Click on the blue words "this one".

Looking at the dates... I think it's plausible. It might also explain why she didn't reprise her role as Sister Nicci later in the season. She could have been showing later.

I know it's hard to believe that she could have snuck a pregnancy and birth in there without fans knowing... but having a wealthy husband, it's possible that she chose to stay completely out of the limelight too. And she's not a ginormous celebrity, so TMZ and others wouldn't care about running into a knocked up Jolene in a sweat suit on her way to the doctor's. LOL

I lean more toward believing this is real. Especially since Mr. Billingsley meantioned it so casually in that interview.

Yeah. John Billingsley seemed kind of excited about it, too, the way you would if you were talking about a good friend/acquaintance having a baby.

I see my "news" has travelled fast!

Hey, man--I had to go forth and spread the joy!

What Misplaced mentioned makes alot of sense.KTR thanks for the news update.
