We just joked about it.” O’Neal, 68, assured Walters this time the plans are for real. “I promise you, we will,” he said. “Absolutely.” Ah, that is actually really cute.

Mercy, who has been variously reported as 3 or 4 years old, is then expected to travel to Italy, Germany, Sweden, Hungary and Israel where her mother is performing, the newspaper said. “Madonna is so happy to have all her children around her and for Mercy to be finally with them,” a source close to the recording artist told The Mirror. “It’s been a long, difficult process to go through and she’s faced quite a bit of negativity along the way for her decisions. But she said, ‘My family is finally complete, we’re all together at last.’ It was a beautiful moment. She is over the moon that Mercy is with her.” Nothing like celebrities buying babies.
