Bennett Armistead Schauer – Laura Linney’s Son At The Age Of 49

The actress Laura Linney and husband Marc Schauer welcomed their first child on January 8, 2014. The couple was very happy to finally welcome their child, but it was a big concern for many people as Laura was 49 at the time of pregnancy. Laura decided to give her child the middle name ‘Armistead’ in honor of Armistead Maupin, the author of Tales of the City. Linney describes Maupin as ‘the fiercely intelligent, amazing Maupin.’

As of now, Bennett Armistead Schauer is 7 years old and is living a happy life with his celebrity mother and father, who is a real estate agent.

Laura Linney did not intentionally hide her pregnancy. But yes, she did not publicly announce the good news because she feared miscarriage. She wanted the baby to arrive before she announced her pregnancy.
Laura, herself, never considered her pregnancy as a secret. She attended events even during her eighth month of pregnancy. Howbeit, she was there in bump-concealing outfits.

Furthermore, Laura is also pretty concerned with her child’s privacy. She is yet to reveal her kid’s face. We can see that she rarely posts about her son on her social media too.
