Terry Jones Welcomes Daughter Siri

Monty Python star Terry Jones, 67, and his girlfriend Anna Söderström, 26, welcomed a daughter Siri in early September, Telegraph reports.

Addressing concerns that he left his wife of more than 30 years to be with Anna who is 41 years his junior, the Welsh comedian said the comments leave him unaffected:

It doesn't worry me what anyone says, except when publicity hurts others. I've yet to discover how I like having another child as she's only just born. Anna and I talked about it, obviously, before we decided." He added, "I don't think people who have children are acting selfishly or unselfishly. Having a child who'll be loved, to parents who love each other, is the important thing. I've a reasonable chance of living another 20 years, and hope I do, so Siri will be in her 20s."

Jones already has a 35-year-old daughter, Sally, and a 32-year-old son, Bill, from his previous marriage to Alison Telfer.
