The 53-year-old actor has gone from being childless to a father of three in the space of just 15 months. His third love-child was revealed yesterday – a son born to Swedish television producer Anna Eberstein.
She would have been pregnant at the same time as Grant’s other lover Tinglan Hong, who gave birth to his son Felix Chang three months afterwards. Miss Hong is also the mother of Grant’s first child.
When the baby was first registered, the father’s name was left blank. Yet Grant, who found fame with the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, and his Swedish girlfriend appear to have been an item for at least two years.
About a month before their son was born, Miss Eberstein moved into a £2.69million mansion apartment bought for cash, and she is the sole owner.
Two baby mothers and no wedding: TV producer Anna and Tinglan Hong were both pregnant with Hugh's child at the same time
And so it fell to Miss Eberstein’s proud mother Susanne in Sweden to focus attention on the grandson she has been sworn to keep secret for more than a year. He was, she said simply, a ‘wonderful little cute boy’.
The pin-up actor has dated a string of beautiful women during a glittering Hollywood career. But he turned 50 in 2010 still unmarried and childless.
That quickly changed. Grant’s first child, daughter Tabitha, was born to Miss Hong in September 2011. Within four months of the birth, Miss Eberstein was pregnant by him.
Three months after that he got Miss Hong pregnant again. And for around five months in 2012, the two women’s pregnancies overlapped.
During this time, in April 2012, the actor told a US chat show: ‘Everyone was right all these years, saying, “Hugh, why don’t you have some children? It changes your life.” Now that I have a child, it is life-changing. I recommend it. Get some.
Five months later, in September 2012, his son by Miss Eberstein was born. His son by Miss Hong, Felix Chang, followed about 12 weeks later in December.
Both mothers and their children live within walking distance of Grant’s townhouse in Fulham, West London.
So charming: Anna seen enjoying Hugh's company, the TV producer lives in a £2.69million home, thought to be far in excess of her earnings as a television producer
Miss Hong lives in a £1.2million terrace house bought by the actor.
Miss Eberstein’s £2.69million home is beyond her earnings as a television producer, thought to have been between £20,000 and £40,000 a year.
According to her online profile, she worked at ESPN, the American TV channel as a promotions producer’ before leaving in September to become a freelance producer.
When her son was born in 2012, his birth certificate was left blank in the section for the father, but last month the birth was mysteriously re-registered.
Grant visited the register office in person with his girlfriend to remedy the omission.
This time, the little boy – who the Mail is not naming – was given Grant’s surname and his father was listed as Hugh John Mungo Grant, occupation ‘actor’.

She is the daughter of Susanne Eberstein, a judge and prominent left-wing politician.
She and her husband Hans – also a judge – earn an estimated £320,000 a year between them and own a number of properties including a beach house.
As members of Sweden’s ‘great and good’, they have dined with the royal family at Stockholm’s castle several times.
Their daughter met Grant in London, possibly through their mutual love of tennis.
Miss Hong, who was born in eastern China and moved to Britain in 2003, is understood to have met Grant in a Chelsea wine bar in 2008.

Hugh Grant graduated from Oxford University with a 2:1 in English Literature
Hugh Grant was born at Charing Cross Hospital in Hammersmith, London. He was educated at Hogarth Primary School in Chiswick but then moved to St Peter's Primary School. From 1969 to 1978, he attended the independent Latymer Upper School on a scholarship and played 1st XV rugby, cricket and football for the school. He also represented Latymer on the popular quiz show, Top of the Form, an academic competition between two teams of four secondary school students.
In 1979, Hugh won the Galsworthy scholarship to New College, Oxford. Here he made his acting debut as he starred in his first film Privileged, produced by the Oxford University Film Foundation. He also studied English literature and graduated with 2:1 honours.
After attending Oxford University, Grant rejected the opportunity to do postgraduate studies at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London to pursue a PhD in the history of art, so that he was able to focus solely on his acting career.
Much of Hugh's early films went unnoticed except for the performance as a sexually conflicted Edwardian in Ismail Merchant and James Ivory's Maurice, which won him a Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival. The release of hit comedy Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994 was the pivotal moment that transformed the handsome actor into an internationally renowned star. His charming performance as a fool in love earned Hugh a Best Actor Golden Globe.
The heartthrob continued to impress as he appeared in the Ang Lee-helmed Sense and Sensibility in 1995, alongside actress Emma Thompson, and in another period piece, Restoration. He firmly reinstated his reputation of being one of Hollywood's most charming leading men, when he returned to romantic comedy with 1999's Notting Hill opposite Julia Roberts.
He has also had leading roles in 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary with Renee Zellweger, 2002's About a Boy based on the book by Nick Hornby, and 2003's Love Actually which also played to his comedic strengths. Hugh has won 13 prestigious awards including a BAFTA.
Although Grant never married, he dated model Elizabeth Hurley from 1986 to 2000 and journalist Jemima Khan from 2004 to 2007.
The 54-year-old bachelor is a father to three children. He has a son and daughter born to actress Tinglan Hong and another son born to Swedish television producer Anna Eberstein.
