Arthur is the actress’ son with her fashion designer ex Jason Bleick – he’s clearly close with his mum, and rocked Brooks Brothers at the pop-up event

Selma Blair may be best known as a 1990s and noughties icon thanks to her role in films like Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde, or as an advocate for disability rights – she revealed her MS (multiple sclerosis) diagnosis in 2018, and has since entered remission. But these days, she’s mostly a proud mum.

Blair was recently accompanied by her stylish 14-year-old son at Elle World, a pop-up that marked the 25th anniversary of Legally Blonde and the launch of its prequel series, Elle, in New York City.

Arthur Saint Bleick, whom Blair shares with her fashion designer ex Jason Bleick, rocked a white linen Brooks Brothers suit at the event. Blair posed alongside him and the Legally Blonde cast wearing a chic black-and-pink Tom Ford dress paired with a pair of Manolo Blahniks.

Blair thanked Reese Witherspoon in her Instagram post from the pink carpet: “Thank you, Reese, for bringing us all back together, and for creating something that still holds true and dear even 25 years later.” Blair played Vivian, the fiancé of Elle Woods’ ex Warner.

But what else do we know about Selma Blair’s only son, Arthur Saint Bleick – who the actress once described as having given her hope?

The Legally Blonde actress, now 54, shares Arthur with her ex Jason Bleick, a fashion designer. The pair dated between 2010 and 2012, according to People magazine. Although they are no longer together, they seem to have an amicable relationship and work together to co-parent their son. Blair has described her ex as a “super dad” in one of her Instagram posts.

“Jason is a huge part of Arthur’s life. He’s shown up in a big way,” Blair said, speaking to People about their parenting situation. “I’m really proud of us.”

He was born weeks after his due date

On Arthur’s eighth birthday, Blair shared in a now deleted Instagram post that her son was “weeks late” when he was born, and that she’d had to endure a painful induced labour.
