With Open Hearts and Open Minds: Baby Tile Congras

 


Baby Tile Congras has been written about here in several posts, with her discovery revealed in this post on June 7, 2016, entitled "Belated Congras - It's a Girl!  For Toothy Tile and Grey Goose" and the details of the discovery, along with reasons why we believe, made in the Comments section.  Baby Tile Congras is also Day 27 in the Masterpost: 30 Days of Toothy Tile, Grey Goose and the Baby Tiles.  

The belief that Jake Gyllenhaal and his real-life husband Austin Nichols had a daughter born from surrogacy in 2015 stems from this Facebook comment made six years ago to this day, January 3, back in 2016.   

 


 

Margie Nicholson  made her congratulatory comment on January 3, but Narnia finds it interesting that Austin posted on Facebook on December 26, eight days before, wearing a New York City 3/4-length sleeve tee, which (particularly at that time) could be looked at as a shout-out to Jake, because it was Jake who was widely touted as having "moved" to the Big Apple.  Not Austin.  Austin has always been affiliated with either Austin, TX or southern California.  

Would Austin and Jake schedule a delivery for December 26?  That'd be kind of a tough birth date to bestow upon a kid for the rest of their life, wouldn't it?  (Remember with planned Caesarean, the actual surgery date can possibly be a bit flexible)

Fast forward to 2021.  On December 21, Austin posted this on his Instagram:

 


 

A holiday card from his family to ours. 😍😍  That's nice, isn't it!   Austin has posted before in front of this sign, so we are familiar with it.  Now, notice one other thing.  Look a little closer.

 


lol.  Is it clear what direction we wish you to look at?   😁  

Isn't that interesting, though?  1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11.   Eleven hearts.  

"from my family"  to yours. 

Can't really list signatures, so what about the number of hearts to represent each member of his family?  Now, Austin isn't like Jake, who likes to use high profile interviews to make it clear who exactly his family is. [You know the routine. Maggie, Peter and his two nieces.]   And there are 1-2-3-4-5 members in Ashley's (Austin's sister) family. Let's see, that would be 5 + 1 = 6.   With eleven hearts, it's obvious that Austin is referring to a much larger family on his holiday card.  So the assumption that the family would be his sister's would be... wrong-o.

 


 

 

So, is it more likely that Austin signed a heart for every member of the Gyllynichols family?  Perhaps including Otis, the fam dog?  [We know it's not Leo, the paper dog. 😁]  

Is Baby Tile Congras one of those hearts?  If the number of hearts reflects the number of real family members in Austin's family, where does BT Congras fall in that date timeline of hearts?  Last heart?  Next to the last?

Not only that, but is December 21, the date of Austin's Instagram post, the actual birthday of Baby Tile Congras?  Perhaps a way to sneak in a public acknowledgement to their daughter?

This would not be the first time that Austin would manage to sneak in a shout-out to either Jake or one of the kids through his social media.  These are a few of the times he's done so with the mini-shock-wave moments having been mentioned or posted about on Narnia Dispatches in the past.

We're losing all of our big true movie stars, aren't we? The stars that the silver screen is so reflective of.

What we have now are mostly celebrities. There's a difference, in my eyes. Now it's all about Instagram, scripted melodrama and photoshopped pictures.

Rest in peace, Sidney Poitier.
