During an interview with The Talk, in 2010, Jamie revealed that Tony was never a good father nor was he interested in being a part of her life.

According to the Daily Mail, she pointed out, even though they were no close she was not mad at him because he had been very clear from the very beginning and that he probably interested in being a father because children are 'complicated and messy.'

Curtis, one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood and a frequent blogger for the Huffington Post, said that Tony was never a good father and that he had no interest in his children.
