"I'll raise my children alone" Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford

New mom Kelly Rutherford went on the record with Life and Style Weekly about her ex-husband Daniel Giersch.  The Gossip Girl star told the mag “I found out I was pregnant, and I thought, Oh, maybe things will be nice, maybe it will be calm… But it wasn’t. Things only got more intense.”

Rutherford and Giersch have 2 children, 2 1/2 year old Hermés, and baby Helena, born June 26.  If it was up to her, the children would not have their father in their lives.  “[Alone], I can raise them to be much more peaceful.”

Friends of the new mom have said her ex-husband was “cold, controlling and paranoid.”  At 3 months pregnant, in December 2008, Rutherford made the difficult decision to file for divorce after 3 years of marriage.

Despite her failing marriage the 40-year-old actress said she was overjoyed about having a new baby.  “The most important thing is that the children have love and stability in their lives, whether that comes from a mother or a father,” said Kelly.
