Photos of Christian Bale in LA with Wife Sibi and Daughter Emmeline

Sibi and Emmeline Help Put the Smile Back on Christian's Face

February 9, 2009

After a long week, Christian Bale relaxed on Saturday with his daughter Emmeline and wife Sibi in LA. The fallout from his famous rant must have made for a roller coaster few days but after he finally offered a heartfelt apology Christian is on his way back into his fans good graces. Bale's sister Sharon took the chance to talk about her brother saying, "he might need help," but for now everything looks happy with the two most important women in his life.

its not a photo op, just leave them alone. he made a mistake like everyone does, its just scrutinized because he's famous. let him and his family work this out and forget it!!!!

It does kind of seem like a photo op...but I think he's still a good dad. Even McG (the director of Terminator) said that Christian is a good family man and loves his wife & daughter. I think he's just really intense when it comes to his work... Emmeline is a cutie.

Yes, OF COURSE it's a photo op. *rolls eyes* It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that because he was recently embroiled in a scandal the paparazzi are more likely to stake him out, just as they did last year after the reports of the verbal altercation with his mum and sis broke out. NO... that can't be it! I suppose, the latter argument is just too logical to be entertained.

His kid looks skeptical about kissing him...wondering if he is doing this for the cameras or if he might go off on her if she doesn't act cute enough... :P

I don't think it's a photo-op at all. And even if it was, seriously, what would you do if you were in his position right now? You can't judge him for wanting to get over it.

Who the heck said he doesn't love his wife and kid? A photo op is a photo op. Like Hollywood doesn't manipulate the media for their benefit, specially after an embarrassing period.

To me this looks just like any other pics the paparazzis have taken of them. I don't think people's opinion about him will change just because they see him with his daughter as they have seen him before. And he doesn't strike me to be one of those celebs who would alert the paparazzis about they whereabouts to get publicity, but who knows.

Erm, you don't hug people you love every day? Especially if it's your child. That's weird. And I can't say that if it were me I'd be going out my way NOT to hug my family just because someone on a blog thinks I'm hamming it up for the camera. Sometimes I'm not surprised celebs go nuts, people seem to think they stop being human or something just because there are lots of pictures of them everywhere.

Woop, only you to make me laugh at this guy now -- you and the dude who made that remix, obviously. Oh, and Stephen Colbert :LOVE:

Okay, not a big fan of his, but I really think he's getting a bad rap over this. Everyone loses their head now and then, and his apology was very succinct. I can't even use the incident with his Mom as "well he's done it before" fodder, because the story they told about it doesn't add up. I think he's a good guy with a temper, but I think he keeps that temper in check. That particular day, he didn't do the best job of it. Okay, he screwed the pooch on the temper control, but that doesn't mean he's a total a-hole

No, naked_americ. He must love his wife and daughter...the situation is a photo op, because it is too much of a coincidence that he's seen hugging his wife and daughter right after he has issued an apology.

Oh yeah, I guess he's "pretending" to love his wife and daughter because the paps are around... puhleeze...

futonfighter 4 years 15 weeks

Photo op? He's always looked like this with his wife and daughter, just look up old posts. If anything this is just how it's always been: paps following him around and taking pictures.

everyone goes thorough it a bit from time to time, so i think that things will all pass and he'll be fine. i can't imagine that this would really make people think any different about him, given that he's been in the business for so long, and he's always done great work.
