Daniel & Hermes Giersch: Strollin' In LA

Daniel Giersch was seen strolling around Los Angeles on Tuesday with his 2 ½-year-old son Hermes with a smile on his face despite the nasty divorce and custody battle he is facing with Gossip Girl ex-wife Kelly Rutherford. Rutherford and Giersch have a son and a baby girl on the way.

In January, a Los Angeles court sided with Rutherford, allowing the actress to take their son to New York City where her show is filmed, until the end of March. Giersch had strongly objected to this arrangement, stating that his home in LA would offer a more stable environment. The judge allowed the travel temporarily, and Giersch's lawyer says that a permanent custody deal will likely be agreed upon soon.

When asked how she remains upbeat despite the struggles in her personal life, the pregnant actress replied, "I'm doing so well because I know I'm making the right decision. I love my son so much and he's loved by both us – his father and I – greatly. My greatest joy in life right now is being a mom."
