Purported Media Love Child Born

Ryan Tate — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 07:36:01 EDT

Media gossips wondered whether Casey Greenfield, daughter of CBS News political reporter Jeff Greenfield, was pregnant with the child of CNN's Jeffrey Toobin, an otherwise married man. The baby, a boy named Rory, is now born, but Toobin told Page Six he still has "nothing to say" about the child.

Which makes sense; when the legal-analyst-turned-social-networking-fiend decides to speak, it will presumably be through Facebook.

Did Married CNN Analyst Get Competitor's Daughter Pregnant?

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin reportedly "crossed the line" with Casey Greenfield, daughter of a CBS reporter. Columnists Rush & Molloy don't give details, but one can speculate from what they omit: Greenfield is pregnant.

Toobin, 13 years Greenfield's senior, is still married (with children) to Amy McIntosh.

Toobin declined to talk to the Daily News about his relationship with Greenfield, as did Greenfield herself. Their refusal to speak is sure to arch eyebrows.

Given Greenfield's advanced pregnancy, which she tracks on her Facebook profile, Rush & Molloy surely knew what their item was implying: Toobin is the father of Greenfield's child.

Greenfield, incidentally, is the daughter of CBS political correspondent Jeff Greenfield. The "brilliant and beautiful" Yale-trained lawyer has seen her 2004 marriage to an LA screenwriter dissolve, Rush & Molloy wrote.

At least now we have a clue as to why Toobin might have been working Facebook when he was supposed to be covering a a presidential debate. Double lives can be time-consuming.

(If you know more, we'd love to hear from you.)
