Heigl’s husband gushes about adopted daughter
September 21st, 2009 - 12:55 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Sep 21 (IANS) Actress Katherine Heigl’s musician husband Josh Kelley thinks their adopted baby is “awesome” and gushed about her during a concert in Ohio.
Contactmusic.com reports that Nancy Leigh is a 10-month-old Korean girl with special needs and Kelley and Heigl adopted her earlier this month.
“We adopted a baby from Korea, me and my girl, and she’s awesome, dude! This girl is the bomb,” an emotional Kelley said during the Friday concert.
Earlier in the week, Kelley sung a song he wrote about the baby - nicknamed ‘Naleigh’ - at a performance at Miami University. It included the lines, “Just to see you in mommy’s arms is all I need.”
Heigl, 30, was “thrilled” to welcome Nancy into her home and revealed that she has wanted to adopt a Korean baby since she was a child.
“It’s been a big part of my life and my family. My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 1970s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do.
“I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen. Not everybody is down with that, not everybody thinks that,” she said.
