Tom Ford welcomes a son

Fashion designer Tom Ford and his long-term partner Richard Buckley are the proud parents of a baby boy named Alexander John Buckley Ford, who was born in Los Angeles on September 23. Alexander John is the first child for the couple, who have been together for 25 years. Tom's representative confirmed the news, but little is known about the baby, who is believed to have been born via a surrogate mother. The former creative director of Gucci has previously stayed coy about his intention to have children, but insisted he would never use any child as a press tool and would keep them out of the spotlight.
