A single mother is a phenomenon in our life, toUnfortunately, everyday. But lonely fathers are found much less often. In the Soviet era, famous men like such circumstances of their lives preferred not to advertise much. Legally, such a term - a single father - and in modern Russia does not exist, which is understandable: a man can not give birth to a child. There is no term, but the phenomenon is. Some of the male stars had to face the tragedy and cope with the upbringing of children in the role of a widower, someone just had circumstances for a while, well, and someone quite deliberately went to " single swimming ", using the services of a surrogate mother. However, they all share one thing: love for their children.

And, having received a serious craniocerebral injury, she died. It happened on March 18, 2009, the sons were 14 and 13 years old, and Liam never married again, trying, he said, "to be as good a father as possible". Cope with grief he was helped by several close friends, among whom was fellow countryman Liam Bono, the vocalist of the U2 group. As Liam later recalled, Bono once told his sons that he also lost his mother when he was a child, and, as he could, reassured them, saying that everything would be all right in the end. "I just wanted to kiss him for such support," Neeson confessed in an interview.

He had uneasy relations with the ex-spouse Kimberly - they then got married, divorced, got married again and got divorced again. As a result, they registered joint custody of their daughter Haley, and Eminem went even further - he adopted Whitney, Kimberly's child from previous relationships, and also Alainu - the daughter of her own sister Kim. But that's not all: the rapper also became the guardian of his half-brother Nathan.

Nicolas Cage

To Nicholas's credit, he, born Coppola, even changed his last name so as not to benefit from even a hint of support from his famous uncle (Francis Ford Coppola, director of The Godfather, is the brother of Nicholas's father), trying to conquer Hollywood on his own. He succeeded, but not right away - just at the beginning of the 90s there was a period of acute poverty, and Christina could not stand it, left, leaving her son in the care of Nicholas. Cage later lamented that, trying to achieve success, he devoted little time to his son - Weston grew up and became the vocalist of the metal band Eyes Of Noctum, performing on stage in rather frightening makeup. However, over the years he softened and even made Cage a grandfather - on July 1, 2014, Weston and his wife Danielle had a son, Lucian.
