Robert Pattinson is one smitten girl dad.

The “Twilight” alum has spoken out for the first time about becoming a father following the birth of his and fiancée Suki Waterhouse‘s first child, a daughter, earlier this year.

Speaking at the Dior Homme Menswear spring/summer 2025 show in Paris June 21, Pattinson said that having a baby “makes you feel very old and very young,” as seen in a video shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The actor, a spokesmodel for the fashion brand, went on to gush about his and Waterhouse’s baby girl.

“I’m amazed by how quick their personality comes, at just 3 months” Pattinson said, “I can kinda see who she is already. It’s great.”

Waterhouse, who got engaged to Pattinson late last year, shared a photo of the couple’s baby for the first time in April. In the pic, the “Daisy Jones & The Six” actress holds their little girl, without showing her face. The 32-year-old captioned the Instagram post, “Welcome to the world angel.”

Stars & Their Mini-Me Kids

Later that month, Waterhouse confirmed they had welcomed a daughter. “I don’t know if some of you know, but I had some big life changes happen recently, some pretty big events have been going down,” the “Good Looking” singer said while performing at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. “I love amazing ladies and I’ve been very lucky to have my own little amazing lady and meet the love of my life.”

Mandy Moore is about to become a girl mom: She's pregnant with baby No. 3 https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/mandy-moore-about-to-become-girl-mom-pregnant-baby-no-3/5465318/ 5465318 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/05/GettyImages-1933987440.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Actress Mandy Moore just announced that she’s pregnant with her third baby while paying homage to her hit show, “This is Us.”

She posted an image of her sons Gus, 3, and Ozzie, 1, on Instagram wearing T-shirts that say, “Big” and “Middle.” Moore captioned the image with a reference to her hit show “This Is Us,” which ran from 2016 to 2022, “Sometimes life imitates art. The third in our own Big Three coming soon. Can’t wait for these boys to have a baby sister.”

Moore shares her children with husband Taylor Goldsmith, who acts as the parent willing to dress up in crazy costumes while she makes the lunches and doctor’s appointments, she shared during an October 2023 appearance on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna.

Moore and Goldsmith, frontman for the folk-rock band Dawes, have a very musical atmosphere in their house, but she laughed that Gus isn’t always into hearing his parents sing.

Moore also addressed what it’s like to be a mom of two and said that even though its been a “wild” experience for her, she would still like to welcome more kids in the future.

“I’m one of three,” she said, “so I just can’t imagine a world without siblings, and I always knew that if I were lucky enough to have a family, I would love to have more than one. But I didn’t realize when the second came out, I’d be like, ‘I think I can do this again.’ My husband thinks I’m crazy.”

She added, “I have not closed that door.”

She certainly hasn’t.

In honor of Mother’s Day 2024, Moore wrote on an Instagram carousel with her boys and wrote that being a mother is “the greatest club and truly the most exhausting and exhilarating job I’ve ever been lucky enough to get to do.”

Jimmy Kimmel's 7-year-old son Billy undergoes 3rd open heart surgery https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/jimmy-kimmels-7-year-old-son-billy-undergoes-3rd-open-heart-surgery/5452747/ 5452747 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/05/GettyImages-2149321889.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,229 Originally appeared on E! Online

Jimmy Kimmel is giving an update on his son Billy Kimmel.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, the late-night host and wife Molly McNearney‘s 7-year-old underwent his third and hopefully final open heart surgery.

“We went into this experience with a lot of optimism,” Kimmel wrote on Instagram May 27 alongside a photo of Billy in the hospital, “and nearly as much fear and came out with a new valve inside a happy, healthy kid.”

After thanking the staff at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Kimmel—who also shares daughter Jane, 9, with Molly, as well as kids Katie, 32, and Kevin, 30, with ex Gina Kimmel—further reflected on his experience.

“Walking around this hospital,” he continued, “meeting parents at their most vulnerable, children in pain and the miracle workers who do everything in their considerable power to save them is a humbling experience.”

“Thanks to those loving strangers who took time to pray for and send positive energy to our baby,” Kimmel added, “thanks to our family and friends for rallying around us to an almost-ridiculous extent, thank you to my wife Molly for being stronger than is reasonable for any Mom to be and Billy, you are the toughest (and funniest) 7 year-old we know.”

The Best Crystals for Love, Finance, Career and Health

Kimmel, 56, and Molly, 46, first shared their son’s health journey in 2017, when the couple learned Billy had been born with heart defects that required immediate surgery.

Since then, they’ve continued to keep fans in the loop on his progress.

“He’s doing great. He’s a very funny kid,” Kimmel told E! News in October 2022. “He loves Spiderman, jumping on my head and doing all the things we tell him not to do.”

After sharing the news of Billy’s latest surgery, the Kimmel family received a flood of well-wishes from fans and friends, including John Stamos.

“God bless your little Billy,” the Full House alum, who also has a son named Billy, commented on his friend’s post. “He’s lucky he has parents like you and also the care of the good folks at CHLA.”

Actress Uzo Aduba also commented, “One more thing to appreciate and celebrate this weekend. Love to see it,” while Justin Theroux wrote, “Bravo Billy.”

Sofia Richie announces the birth of her 1st child and reveals the name https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/sofia-richie-announces-the-birth-of-her-1st-child-and-reveals-the-name/5446170/ 5446170 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/05/GettyImages-1653673779_03a054.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,210 Sofia Richie Grainge is a mom!

The model and social media star announced May 24 on Instagram that she and her husband, Elliot Grainge, welcomed their first child, a daughter they named Eloise, four days earlier.

“Eloise Samantha Grainge 5•20•24 best day of my life,” she wrote alongside the image of her and Grainge’s hands cradling their baby girl’s feet.

She added a second image in her Instagram story showing the new parents holding their daughter’s hand.

Sister Nicole Richie commented, “I now have a new favorite EG. sorry Elliot.”

Richie Grainge’s famous friends also responded to the happy news in the comments of her post.

Hailey Bieber, who’s expecting her own little one with Justin Bieber, and Kylie Jenner both wrote, “Congratulations.”

“Omg the sweetest name!!” commented former Disney Channel star Ashley Tisdale.

“Adorable,” gushed “The Real Housewives of Orange County” star Heather Dubrow.

News of baby Eloise’s arrival comes a little less than four months after Richie Grainge walked her first red carpet as a mom-to-be at the 2024 Grammys on Feb. 4.

In late January, Richie Grainge announced she was expecting when she appeared in a Vogue magazine photo shoot that showed off her baby bump.

“I found out very, very early,” she told the publication. “I was about four weeks pregnant. I was on a trip to Milan for Fashion Week, and I was going to the Prada show. I was doing a really quick 24-hour turnaround, and I felt terrible but didn’t think much of it. I thought it was jet lag.”

When she returned home to Los Angeles, the model recalled, she was reluctant to join her record executive husband and their friends at an Ed Sheeran concert.

“I kind of knew it was going to be a boozy night, and I was a few days late on my period, and I wanted to be generally safe, so I took a test,” she recalled.

After the test showed the “faintest” of lines indicating a possible pregnancy, a thrilled Grainge dashed out to a drugstore to buy more tests.

“He was so excited,” recalled Richie Grainge. “We spoke the whole way on the phone. And when he came home, he’s such a sweet guy he always wants to protect my emotions and expectations, so he kind of sat me down and said, ‘If these are negative, don’t be upset. Our moment will come.'”

The couple, who had been casually trying to start a family since tying the knot in April 2023, were joyous when all three tests turned out to have positive results.

“He was so excited, and we both cried. It was crazy and overwhelming and so hard not to scream it from the rooftops. But knowing I was so early, I was so protective — even with my friends,” said Richie Grainge.

Richie Grainge revealed that she and her husband were expecting a baby girl in a TikTok video posted Jan. 28.

In the short clip, Richie Grainge, her husband and their dogs stand outside in their yard as Grainge holds a small cannon. After Richie Grainge counts down from three, Grainge pulls the cannon and a bunch of pink confetti flies out.

Richie Grainge screams in joy as she runs around the yard. “I’m so excited,” she tells her husband as the two embrace.

“Sorry to all my neighbors for the horrifying scream,” she captioned the sweet post.

From ‘Bachelor' to father: Colton Underwood is expecting a baby with his husband https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/colton-underwood-bachelor-baby-husband/5437765/ 5437765 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/05/GettyImages-1710711226-e1716403912791.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,223 Former “Bachelor” Colton Underwood has been pursuing “daddyhood” (which also happens to be the name of his podcast) for more than two years, and he and his husband, Jordan C. Brown, announced on Instagram that they will be welcoming a baby boy in the fall.

“Our little boy is coming this fall 💙” the ex-NFL player captioned a photo carousel featuring an ultrasound image. He also posted a video to share his joy about the good news.

Becoming a father “has always been a goal of mine,” Underwood said in a backstage interview when he visited TODAY earlier this year. “It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to accomplish and I never thought it was possible as a gay man.”

His path to parenthood wasn’t an easy one.

Underwood was told early on that his active sperm count was low, so he worked with doctors to determine a “plan of action” that included changes to his lifestyle, diet and workout regimens. Though his husband didn’t have the same issue, Brown made the same lifestyle changes to support Underwood.

Once Underwood’s sperm count “bounced back,” he and Brown began looking for a surrogate. They weren’t looking for any specific physical attributes, he said: They were in search of personality traits.

Underwood told Men’s Health, “We want somebody deep and cool. I believe in nature versus nurture. So give us the basics and we can show this kid love.”

In the couple’s first conversation with an egg donor, they met virtually, and Brown and Underwood didn’t use video or their real names. Fatefully, Underwood shared an elevator with his egg donor: He was heading to a routine physical and she was there for testing prior to her egg retrieval.

“So for me to share an elevator ride, as silly as it sounds, was such a bonding thing and also just such reassurance that we were on the right path,” Underwood told Men’s Health.

Underwood and Brown divided their sperm between the surrogate’s 22 eggs. They ended up fertilizing three embryos and transferred the one doctors deemed the “healthiest.” The couple doesn’t know whose sperm was used, but whoever is not the biological father of this child will go through the process again for their second child.

Their son is expected to arrive this October.

Until then, the couple will likely continue practicing parenting skills on their two dogs, a German Shepherd and an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix.

“I’m more the cool and casual and calm dad,” Underwood told TODAY.com in February 2024. “He very much has to be the disciplinarian. He’s pulled me aside multiple times to let me know that I have to start disciplining the dogs because they will hate him if not.”

‘Meet the Press' moderator Kristen Welker is expecting baby No. 2 with help from a surrogate https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/meet-the-press-moderator-kristen-welker-expecting-baby-no-2-surrogate/5411167/ 5411167 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/05/web-240514-kristen-welker.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker and her husband, John Hughes, are expecting their second child together in the coming weeks with the help of a surrogate.

The baby boy will join big sister Margot, who turns 3 on June 12.

“Margot has told all of her schoolmates that her parents are getting her a baby brother for her birthday!” Welker, 47, tells TODAY.com.

While Welker and Hughes are still working on a name — “We have our top contenders” — Margot has decided that she wants her brother to be called Lolo.

“So we refer to him as Lolo in our household,” Welker says, with a laugh.

Welker, who is unable to carry a child, welcomed Margot via surrogacy in 2021, after struggling with infertility for two years.

“The gratitude that I feel for her every day and that I felt for her in the moment that Margot was born is indescribable,” Welker told TODAY co-anchor Hoda Kotb that year.

Welker and Hughes are working with a different surrogate this time because Margot’s surrogate just had her second child. 

“She’s still very much a part of our lives and even reached out to our new surrogate Angelica,” Welker says. “We’ve become like this little family. 

Angelica is a “literal angel on earth,” according to Welker. 

Recently, Welker has been talking to Margot about her ”incredibly special journey to this earth.” 

“I’ve explained to Margot that most mommies get to carry their babies in their tummy, but Mama has a boo-boo, so she has a special friend who carried you, and is now carrying your baby brother,” Welker says. 

Welker and Hughes were determined to give Margot a sibling, and started “working on a second baby,” in 2022. 

“We had setbacks — there was more heartbreak — there were days when I asked myself, ‘Why is this so hard for us?’ but we kept pushing forward,” she reveals. “We did lose another embryo in this process, and we had to deal with the loss of that and the setback and wondering again, was this going to work for us?”

“What I’m proud of is that John and I didn’t give up,” Welker says. “He has always been my rock and I credit our love with getting us through those tough times.”

In March, Welker and sportscaster Erin Andrews opened up about their surrogacy journeys on TODAY. During the segment Andrews surprised a couple who’ve been struggling with infertility with a $20,000 grant to help them pursue their dream of having a child. 

“Surrogacy and fertility treatments are out of reach for so many people across this country,” Welker says. “I have really tried to put my energy now into both shining a light on these services and also trying to make them more accessible to people.”

“I want to pay it forward,” she adds.

Pregnant Hailey Bieber shares behind-the-scenes maternity shoot photo https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/pregnant-hailey-bieber-shares-behind-the-scenes-maternity-shoot-photo/5404918/ 5404918 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/05/GettyImages-1340178662-e1715316733448.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,231 Originally appeared on E! Online

Spotted again: Hailey Bieber and her growing baby, baby, baby bump.

The pregnant model has shared a bonus, behind-the-scenes photo from her and Justin Bieber‘s vow renewal and maternity shoot, one day after they first posted pics from the events to announce they are expecting their first child.

The new image shows the mama-to-be in her white lace, off-the-shoulder Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello gown and long veil, posing on what appears to be a wooden balcony overlooking a lush garden and the ocean. Hailey captioned the photo, which she shared on her Instagram Stories late May 10, with heart hands and sparkles emojis.

The Biebers had exchanged vows in Hawaii May 9 in a ceremony performed by their pastor, Judah Smith. They shared pics from the event and an accompanying maternity photo shoot later that day.

This marked the third time the couple has exchange marital vows. Hailey, 27, and Justin, 30, had first tied the knot at a New York City courthouse in 2018 following a whirlwind rekindled summer romance. They had a larger wedding with family and friends in South Carolina the following year.

Hailey Bieber Pregnant: All the Hints She Dropped

The couple’s parents expressed their excitement on social media after Hailey’s pregnancy was announced.

“So I have been waiting for this day,” Justin’s mother Pattie Mallette said in an Instagram video. “And now that they have shared it, I can finally celebrate with y’all. Oh my gosh, I’m gonna be a grandma! Oh my goodness.”\

The 49-year-old added, “Justin and Hailey, you are gonna be the best parents ever, and I am so excited.”

Hailey’s dad, actor Stephen Baldwin, 57, wrote on his own page, “Love you guys…blessed beyond words…praise God…let’s get ready to have some fun y’all.”

Pattie later momentarily sparked confusion and speculation that the couple may be expecting twins when she commented on his post, “WE ARE GONNA HAVE THE CUTEST GRAND-BABIES EVER!” She later clarified, “No not twins lol I wish. I just mean in general. Hopefully they will have more than one eventually. They will make beautiful babies whenever they have them. One is enough for now.”

Justin Bieber's exes Sofia Richie, Caitlin Beadles react to pregnancy https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/justin-biebers-exes-sofia-richie-caitlin-beadles-react-to-pregnancy/5400799/ 5400799 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/05/GettyImages-1340178662-e1715316733448.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,231 Originally appeared on E!

Never say never to Justin Bieber getting support from his ex-girlfriends.

After the singer and wife Hailey Bieber revealed they’re expecting their first baby, the couple was showered with well-wishes from friends and family—including more than one of Justin’s former flames.

Underneath Hailey’s May 9 Instagram post showing photos of their maternity photo shoot and vow renewal in Hawaii, his ex Sofia Richie wrote, “Ahh!! Congratulations.”

And over on Justin’s post announcing his fatherhood news, his ex Caitlin Beadles commented, “congrats, happy for y’all!”

Caitlin—who now describes herself as a “Mental health & Wellness advocate”—was actually Justin’s first girlfriend way back in 2008. They met after the then 14-year-old musician moved to Atlanta to make music with Usher, but their romance fizzled out after a year when she reportedly ended things.

But clearly, the influencer has remained on good terms with the Biebs, with her even attending his 2018 wedding to Hailey. Caitlin also gave her stamp of approval on the setup of what appeared to be the pair’s rehearsal dinner in South Carolina, writing on her Instagram Story at the time, “When there’s gluten free cornbread you best believe I’m taking some to go,” according to a screenshot published by People.

Hailey Bieber Pregnant: All the Hints She Dropped

As for Sofia, the model dated Justin briefly in the summer of 2016, when they were photographed holding hands in Tokyo and Los Angeles.

“We have a special relationship,” she told Billboard that September. “Justin is very easy to talk to, and that’s hard to find with people in Los Angeles.”

Of course, Sofia has moved on as well and is currently nine months pregnant with her and husband Elliot Grainge‘s first baby.

“I’ve learned more in the past six months than I have in my entire life,” she told Vogue while sharing the news in January. “And also just like what the female body is capable of. Every week brings new things, whether it’s hormonal shifts or expansion—there’s just so much our bodies go through, and it’s so interesting to experience it all.”

It’s an experience Hailey now knows firsthand, too.

Hailey Bieber is pregnant, expecting first baby with Justin Bieber https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/hailey-bieber-pregnant-first-baby-justin-bieber/5399329/ 5399329 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2022/03/Hailey_and_Justin_Bieber_1920x1080_2014004803596.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 This article originally appeared on E! Online.

Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber will soon have another somebody to love.

The Rhode Skin founder and the Grammy winner are expecting their first baby together, they shared on Instagram May 9.

The couple posted a video showing Hailey in a lacy dress that showed off her baby bump, while Justin gave her a kiss as they posed for maternity photos on a grassy hillside.

Hailey’s pregnancy comes nearly six years after the couple tied the knot at a New York City courthouse in September 2018, just two months after getting engaged.

As a way to celebrate their union, the pair said “I do” for a second time a year later at a lavish wedding ceremony in South Carolina.

Since then, both Justin, 30, and Hailey, 27, have been open about their plans to start a family together.

In October 2019, the “Love Yourself” singer hinted at his desires to have kids of his own one day by posting a video of a father playing with his baby, writing on Instagram at the time, “This is something I look forward to.”

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber’s Road to Marriage

Justin later said during a February 2020 interview with Zane Lowe that he and Hailey will start a family “in due time,” explaining how he wanted to “enjoy being married for a little bit, go on tour, be married, enjoy traveling with just us, build more of our relationship” before taking the next steps.

When Ellen DeGeneres jokingly asked about the “hold up” on the couple’s baby plans during Justin’s appearance on her talk show that December, he replied, “I think the issue — there’s not really an issue — I think Hailey still has things she wants to accomplish as a woman and I think she just wants to — I just think she’s not ready yet and that’s OK.”

Justin also noted that he didn’t have a set number of kids he wanted in mind: “I am going to have as many as Hailey is wishing to push out.”

He added, “I’d love to have myself a little tribe, but yeah, it’s her body and whatever she wants to do.”

The pair went on to give fans a glimpse of their family discussions in the Amazon Prime documentary, “Justin Bieber: Our World.” During a candid conversation, Justin told Hailey, “My intention for 2021 is to continue to set goals and have fun while doing them. Make sure I put my family first. And, hopefully, we squish out a little nugget.”

“In 2021?!” a surprised Hailey asked, to which Justin responded, “The … end … of 2021? We start trying?”

For her part, Hailey has always wanted to become a mom. On a November 2021 episode of the “In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith” podcast, the model revealed that she and Justin, who first sparked romance rumors way back in 2014, started talking about having kids early on in their relationship.

“We were having pillow talk conversations, with him telling me my biggest goal in life is to have a healthy family. In my head, I’m just like, ‘I just don’t think that that is BS because he doesn’t have to say that,'” she recalled. “We always had so many conversations about our goals, where we wanted to end up at a certain age. We always wanted to be married young and have a young family and have kids young.”

In a video on her YouTube channel in December 2021, Hailey opened up to fellow model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley about her personal plans to start a family.

“I clearly know zero about being a mom,” she noted, adding, “but I do want kids one day.”

Well, it seems like Justin and Hailey dreams are coming true!

Hilary Duff welcomes baby No. 4: ‘Pure moments of magic' https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/hilary-duff-welcomes-baby-no-4-pure-moments-of-magic/5392885/ 5392885 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/05/GettyImages-1397793030.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Hilary Duff’s fourth child has finally joined the Duff-Bair-Comrie Crew!

Townes Meadow Bair joined the family via water birth on May 3, according to Duff’s Instagram post.

Along with photos of the birth, Duff wrote, “I have been dreaming of holding you in my arms for months, and the past five days of getting to know you, stare at you and smell you have been pure moments of magic. We all love you like you’ve been here all along, beauty.”

She also noted, “Now we know why she made us wait so long … she was perfecting those cheeks!”

Duff announced her pregnancy in an adorably hilarious Christmas card in December. “So much for silent nights,” it read. The back of the card were sweet photos of the kids along with a note: “Buckle up Buttercups, we’re adding one more to this crazy bunch!”

Along with her husband, Matthew Koma (who was born as Matthew Bair), Duff is raising two girls: Banks, 5, and Mae, 3. She has an older son, Luca, 12, from her previous marriage to Mike Comrie.

Though Duff has that pregnancy glow, she has seemed anxious for it to be over.

She titled a carousel of pregnancy images on Instagram as “The wait …” And on April 17, she posted photos of a “slow week,” saying that she’s “gently trying to give baby the eviction notice.”

Even though Duff had to play “hot nurse” during Koma’s recent vasectomy, he appears to have been a wonderful support during this pregnancy.

In a recent Instagram post caption, Duff wrote: “4 kids is a truly wild choice. And while you rage the farmers market with the kids after 4 nights of shows and late nights so I can get some sleep and not hear, ‘Mom Mom Mama Mommy Mooooom,’ just know this only works because of you ♥️.”

Months after welcoming a baby, Paris Hilton shares first photos of daughter London https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/paris-hilton-daughter-london/5338254/ 5338254 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/04/GettyImages-2148092525-e1713584712862.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,193 Paris Hilton shared a first photo of her daughter London, months after she announced she welcomed a daughter to her family.

“Introducing London Marilyn Hilton-Reum,” Hilton, 43, captioned Instagram photos featuring herself, husband Carter Reum and their children: son Phoenix, 1, and baby daughter London, who she publicly introduced in November 2023. “I’ve dreamed of having a daughter named London for as long as I can remember.”

She added: “I’m so grateful she is here. I truly cherish every moment I spend with her. Together with Phoenix, my angel babies have shown me a love that I never even knew could run so deep before I became their mother.”

Hilton said her children, born through surrogacy, inspired her “new, deeply personal song” with singer-songwriter Sia titled “Fame Won’t Love You.”

“The song serves as a reminder that the special bond I feel with my children, my husband & my family is more valuable than anything else in the world,” wrote Hilton. “It’s an anthem that will empower you to hold your most sacred relationships even closer to your heart — whether with family, friends, or yourself.”

Hilton first posted about her daughter London’s birth in November 2023. “Thankful for my baby girl,” she wrote on Instagram pics of a pink baby outfit with “London” on the shirt.

Hilton had pocketed the name “London” for years.

“I’ve been planning my children’s names for years and years,” she said in a February episode of her podcast. “I knew when I was a little girl that I always wanted to have a daughter one day named London because London is one of my favorite cities in the world.”

Fans have noted London’s absence from Hilton’s social media. This month, Hilton told E! News why she hasn’t talked much about London.

“I feel like my life has just been so public with everything,” she said. “So I just wanted to keep my little girl to me. But I’m gonna show her to the world soon ‘cause everyone keeps asking.”

Suki Waterhouse shares first photo with her baby: ‘Welcome to the world angel' https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/suki-waterhouse-shares-first-photo-with-her-baby-welcome-to-the-world-angel/5293458/ 5293458 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/04/GettyImages-1936060514.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Suki Waterhouse has shared the first photo of her baby online.

On April 4, Waterhouse took to Instagram to post a Polaroid photo of her holding her child in her arms.

She captioned the snap, “Welcome to the world angel ❤️.”

Waterhouse has been together with Robert Pattinson for several years, and the couple made their red carpet debut in December 2022. They’ve been spotted together since 2018.

The baby’s sex has yet to be announced.

In November 2023, Waterhouse first hinted at her pregnancy when at a Corona Capital music festival in Mexico City.

“I decided to wear something particularly sparkly today because I thought it might distract you from something else that’s going on,” she said on stage while wearing a sparkly pink mini-dress.

As fans cheered for her, Waterhouse then turned to the side and said, “I’m not sure if it’s working.”

The “Daisy Jones & the Six” star then showed off her baby bump when she attended the Emmys in January.

While speaking with Laverne Cox, who hosted the E! News red carpet that night, Waterhouse said she had to make some alterations to her dress so it could fit her properly.

“I had to hold it for fitting — it was just me, like, holding it to my body,” she laughed. “So they had to take it apart and … redesign this dress to make it make it fit the bump. But it does and I’m really happy that it was so stunning.”

Gal Gadot gives birth, welcomes baby No. 4 with husband Jaron Varsano https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/gal-gadot-gives-birth-welcomes-baby-no-4-with-husband-jaron-varsano/5201378/ 5201378 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/03/GettyImages-1482525807.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Originally appeared on E! Online

Gal Gadot has some wonderful news.

The “Wonder Woman” star gave birth to her fourth child — a baby girl named Ori — with husband Jaron Varsano, she announced on March 6.

“My sweet girl, welcome,” she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of herself holding her newborn daughter in a hospital bed. “You have brought so much light into our lives, living up to your name, Ori, which means ‘my light’ in Hebrew.”

Though Gadot’ss pregnancy was admittedly “not easy,” the 38-year-old feels blessed that she and her little one “made it through.”

“Our hearts are full of gratitude,” added Gadot, who also shares daughters Alma, 12, Maya, 6, and Daniella, 2, with Jaron. “Welcome to the house of girls.. daddy is pretty cool too.”

The “Red Notice” actress largely kept her pregnancy with Ori out of the spotlight. Her last red carpet appearance was in July at the “Barbie” premiere, where she walked the red carpet in a brown-and-white striped dress that featured a large bow covering her stomach.

2024 Celebrity Babies

But Gadot is no stranger to camouflaging her growing bump. After all, she had to use a green screen around her baby belly when she did reshoots for “Wonder Woman” while pregnant with Maya.

“We cut open the costume and had this green screen on my stomach,” she recounted to Rolling Stone in 2017. “It was funny as hell—’Wonder Woman’ with a bump.”

But even when she’s performing superhero duties, Gadot admittedly feels a bit of mom guilt.

“If you’re at work, you want to be home,” she told Flaunt last year. “Then, when you’re at home with the kids, you worry you’re not working enough. It can be a vicious cycle—but you have to mute those feelings.”

However, the former pageant queen has a mantra that helps her find balance. As she noted, “I told myself that I can only do my best and that I’m being the best mother I can be.”

‘Vanderpump Rules' star Lala Kent is pregnant with baby No. 2 https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/vanderpump-rules-star-lala-kent-is-pregnant-with-baby-no-2/5190702/ 5190702 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/03/GettyImages-1998836812.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Originally appeared on E!

Surprise! Lala Kent is going to be a mom of two.

The “Vanderpump Rules” star has revealed that she is pregnant with her second baby. The 33-year-old shared a photo of herself baring her baby bump while standing with her daughter Ocean Kent Emmett, who will turn 3 next week and who she shares with ex Randall Emmett.

“I’m expanding my pod,” Kent captioned her March 3 Instagram post, adding, alongside a photo of herself and her little girl appearing with vitamin bottles on a counter, “A @maryruthorganics cheers to a new addition to my little family.”

The Bravo star also said in an Instagram Stories video, “Do you guys know how happy I am that I finally have shared the news that I am expecting my second child? Me! The open book, really, really had to fight hard to keep this a secret from you guys.”

Kent also wrote that she planned to talk more about her pregnancy on her “Give Me Lala” podcast, starting with a special bonus episode to be released March 4.

Vanderpump Rules: Everything That’s Happened Since Season 10

The reality star had said in December on her podcast that explaining that she hoped to conceive a second child using a sperm donor. A month later, she revealed she had begun the process of doing so via intrauterine insemination (IUI), as a single woman, and by using donor sperm from a cyrobank.

“When I had my life go in a very different direction, I knew I wanted more kids,” she told Cosmopolitan in an interview published Jan. 30. “It was such a strange thing that was happening because everyone would tell me, ‘You’re going to find somebody.’ And I got to thinking, why does my wanting more children need to involve another person? I think if there’s a will, there’s a way.”

She added, “It’s a road that I never thought I would be going down. I really saw myself in the cookie-cutter relationship and creating a family, but now that the universe has other plans for me, I’m so grateful this was an option.”

Following her pregnancy announcement, Kent received a slew of congratulatory messages from fans and friends, including colleagues, past and present.

“I’m so happy for you!!!!!!!” commented “Vanderpump Rules” alum Brittany Cartwright. “Love you guys so much can’t wait to meet this little angel!”

Cartright is also a mom: “The Valley” star shares son Cruz, 2, with costar Jax Taylor, from whom she recently separated.

Current “Vanderpump Rules” cast member Scheana Shay, who shares daughter Summer Moon Honey Davies, 2, with husband Brock Davies, also commented on Lala’s pregnancy announcement. “ITS ALL HAPPENING!!!!” she wrote. “Couldn’t be any happier for you. I love you and your family sooooo much!!!”

(E! and Bravo are part of the NBCUniversal family.)

“Vanderpump Rules” season 11 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo. It premiered Jan. 30.

Jessie James Decker and Eric Decker welcome baby No. 4 https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/jessie-james-decker-and-eric-decker-welcome-baby-no-4/5152680/ 5152680 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/02/GettyImages-1706865620.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,170 This story originally appeared on E! Online

Jessie James Decker and Eric Decker have baby on the brain.

After all, the couple welcomed their fourth child, a son named Denver Calloway Decker, on Feb. 9. As she shared on Instagram a week later, “Our beautiful boy is here.”

Back in August, Jessie — who tied the knot with the retired NFL star in 2013 — announced she was expecting with a cheeky video showcasing her baby bump. At the time, she was taking in the view from a balcony in California before turning to the camera to debut her growing belly.

Jessie simply captioned the Instagram post, “Good Morning,” but fittingly had Mariah Carey’s song “Always Be My Baby” playing in the background.

The pregnancy certainly came as a surprise to Jessie and Eric, who are also parents to Vivianne, 9, Eric Jr., 7, and Forrest, 5.

“We’re excited,” the country artist gushed to E! News in September. “We toyed with it and then we were like, ‘No, we’re good with three.’ And then God made other plans and we’re all for it.”

Jessie James Decker’s Nursery for Baby No. 4

For Eric, becoming a pack of six is nothing short of a touchdown in his book. He added, “We were absolutely shocked at first, but obviously it’s a blessing. Add another one to the family — let’s go!”

And even the timing of their newest addition gave Jessie a chuckle. Two months prior to her pregnancy reveal, the singer teamed up with Ryan Reynolds to troll her husband.

“It’s Father’s Day and that means it’s time for another vasectomy — something my husband has refused to get,” Jessie teased in a June commercial for Ryan’s Aviation American Gin brand. “So, today I’m taking matters into my own hands.”

Making a drink for him, she joked, “That’s probably more ice than you need to soothe your tender areas after what I’m told is a pretty quick and painless procedure. I mean, it’s not like giving birth.”

Now, their family is complete. “We’re done,” Jessie told E! News in October. “We’re definitely not going for a fifth.”

While admitting deep down she “always knew” they would have a fourth baby, she noted, “I don’t see five in the cards at all. I always felt a fourth, so it makes sense.”

Rooney Mara is pregnant and expecting second baby with Joaquin Phoenix https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/rooney-mara-pregnant-second-baby-joaquin-phoenix/5150658/ 5150658 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/02/GettyImages-1205149401-e1708367301156.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,209 Originally appeared on E! Online

It’s no joke: Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara‘s family is getting bigger.

The “Joker” star and the “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” actress are expecting their second baby three years after welcoming son River, multiple outlets reported Feb. 18.

Mara debuted her pregnancy at the premiere of “La Cocina” at the Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin Feb. 16. Clad in a strapless black ballgown, the 38-year-old cradled her growing baby bump as she walked down the red carpet.

E! News has reached out to reps for Mara and Phoenix for comment and has not heard back.

"La Cocina" Premiere - 74th Berlinale International Film Festival
Rooney Mara attends the “La Cocina” premiere during the 74th Berlinale International Film Festival Berlin at Berlinale Palast on February 16, 2024 in Berlin, Germany.

Since they were first romantically linked in 2017 — four years after costarring in “Her” — Mara and Phoenix have been tight-lipped about details about their relationship. However, in 2019, Phoenix offered rare insight into their love story.

“She’s the only girl I ever looked up on the internet,” the 49-year-old admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair, explaining how he initially thought Mara hated him until he learned that she was just too shy to ask him out. “We were just friends, email friends. I’d never done that. Never looked up a girl online.”

2024 Celebrity Babies

That same year, Mara sparked engagement rumors when she was photographed wearing a diamond ring. However, neither publicly addressed the bling at the time.

In fact, the notoriously private couple largely kept details of Mara’s pregnancy with River — who was named after Phoenix’s late brother River Phoenix — under wraps. Instead, news of his birth was shared by Phoenix’s “Gunda” collaborator, director Victor Kossakovsky, who let slip in September 2020 that the Oscar winner had become a dad.

“Good baby by the way,” the filmmaker shared at the Zurich Film Festival, adding that the pair have “a beautiful son.”

While Phoenix and Mara have continued to keep their baby boy away from the spotlight, their world perspective has altered since becoming parents.

As Mara shared in a May 2021 letter, “Raising our baby, River, has opened my heart to a whole new life filled with hope and more determination than ever to create a kinder and more sustainable world.”

“I feel so fortunate to be able to nurture my son in all of the ways that nature intended,” she added, “and I wish all mothers in the animal kingdom could experience that sacred maternal bond with their young.”

Watch pregnant Sofia Richie's reaction to finding out sex of her baby https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/watch-pregnant-sofia-richies-reaction-to-finding-out-sex-of-her-baby/5083195/ 5083195 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/01/GettyImages-1788647455-e1706489352995.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,300 Originally appeared on E! Online

Sofia Richie could not have been more ecstatic upon learning she is going to be a girl mom.

On Jan. 28, the model shared a TikTok video of her and Elliot Grainge’s backyard sex reveal for their first child Jan. 28, days after she announced she was pregnant and expecting a daughter.

After her husband fired a cannon that releases pink confetti, Richie screamed with joy, clapped enthusiastically, ran off while waving her arms, briefly lay down on the grass and then ran back, exclaiming, “Oh my god, I’m so excited!” as her husband and their two dogs looked on.

She and Grainge, who had covered his mouth in astonishment upon seeing the confetti but emitted no sound, then shared a hug.

The mother-to-be captioned the TikTok, “Sorry to all my neighbors for the horrifying scream.”

Lionel Richie’s daughter, 25, had announced her pregnancy and the sex of her and Grainge’s baby in a Vogue interview published Jan. 25, nine months after she married the 30-year-old in a star-studded ceremony in the South of France.

Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge’s Wedding Album

In the interview, she also revealed how she broke the news of her pregnancy to her dad and mom, the Grammy winner’s ex Diane Alexander, and to Grainge’s father Lucian Grainge and his stepmom Caroline Grainge.

“I think I had a box—I want to say it was a Hermès box or some sort of box—and I told everyone that I had bought them a gift from Milan Fashion Week,” she said. “Everyone was like ‘Ooooh Hermes!’ But then they opened it and it had all three of the pregnancy tests [in it]. That’s how we told all of our parents.”

Lionel Richie later shared a photo from Sofia Richie’s Vogue photo shoot to his Instagram Stories, writing, “My little girl is having a baby.”

Her sister Nicole Richie, who shares two children with husband Joel Madden, also shared an image from the shoot to her Instagram Stories, captioning it with a heart and a crying face emoji, while her husband commented on Sofia Richie’s Instagram post with three red hearts.

While Sofia Richie and Grainge have not shared their child’s due date, she told Vogue they’re having a Gemini baby, signaling she is due to give birth in May or June.

“She’s growing pretty fast,” Sofia told the magazine, “so [the due date] is a bit up in the air.”

Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge are thinking pink.

The couple announced they’re expecting their first baby together, sharing that they’re having a little girl.

“She’s growing pretty fast,” Richie told Vogue in an interview published Jan. 25, “so [the due date] is a bit up in the air.”

As for how the 25-year-old’s pregnancy journey has been so far?

“I’ve learned more in the past six months than I have in my entire life,” Richie explained. “And also just like what the female body is capable of. Every week brings new things, whether it’s hormonal shifts or expansion — there’s just so much our bodies go through, and it’s so interesting to experience it all.”

The news comes less than a year after she and the music executive, 30, tied the knot in April 2023 during a stunning and star-filled ceremony in the South of France. In fact, she admitted she’s been eager to start a family since their nuptials, noting that her husband “didn’t really flinch when I said I was checking” as she’d occasionally taken pregnancy tests over the last few months.

And now, the couple—who were friends since childhood before they began dating in 2021— are embarking on a new journey together.

“Pregnancy is really scary and you want to protect that space,” she noted. “I didn’t realize there are so many milestones you have to hit and so many tests you have to take. For me, it was really important to protect our mental health and our space as a couple.”

Richie — whose dad is Lionel Richie and mom is Diane Alexander — further reacted to her news on social media, sharing a pair of maternity photos.

“Our hearts are filled with so much love!,” the model wrote in a Jan. 25 Instagram post. “So thankful for all of your support! Can’t wait for this next chapter of life.”

Michael Phelps is swimming with joy over his newest family member.

The Olympic gold medalist and his wife, Nicole Johnson, welcomed their fourth child, Nico Michael Phelps, on Jan. 16.

“@mrs.nicolephelps and I wanna welcome Nico Michael Phelps to the world. Born on 1/16,” the decorated athlete shared on Instagram Jan. 22. “We’re so blessed to be given a 4th child. We’re now a family of 6!”

The exciting announcement was accompanied by a photo of the couple with Nico, who was swaddled in a blanket while Phelps held him adoringly.

Nico is the fourth kid — and fourth son — to join the Phelps family, which already includes Boomer, 7, Beckett, 5, and Maverick, 4. Phelps and Johnson, who got married in 2016, first confirmed they were expecting a sixth addition to the fam in an anniversary post from October.

“Happy Anniversary to my best friend, hubby and partner thru life,” Johnson captioned the sweet tribute. “I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!”

Every Time Michael Phelps Has Won an Olympic Gold Medal

She then added, “For those that are wondering… yes! we’re expecting our 4th Phelps in 2024.”

Fortunately, the former Miss USA contestant has no problem being the only girl at home — according to her husband.

“I think Nicole said something along the lines of, like, ‘I’m so lucky to have a house full of boys and no girls,'” Phelps told People in 2019, “And Boomer looked at her and said, ‘Mommy, you’re the girl in our house.'”

The 38-year-old continued, “She’s the queen of the household and she’s the only lady in there, so she likes it, I think. She said she enjoys it.”

Jenna Dewan is pregnant with baby no. 3, her 2nd with fiancé Steve Kazee https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/jenna-dewan-is-pregnant-with-baby-no-3-her-2nd-with-fiance-steve-kazee/5051478/ 5051478 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/01/GettyImages-1794233801.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,232 This story originally appeared on E!

Jenna Dewan is stepping up for another chapter of motherhood.

The dancer and her fiancé Steve Kazee are expecting their second baby together, she announced Jan. 17.

Their little one will join big brother Callum, 3, as well as big sister Everly, 10, who Dewan shares with ex-husband Channing Tatum.

“I’ve just entered the second trimester,” Dewan told Romper, “and I feel alive again.”

And grateful—especially to have her fiancé by her side.

“He’s so naturally domestic and nurturing, and he’s so loving, and he’s funny, and he’s really just incredible,” the Step Up star said of the singer, who she began dating in 2018. “It’s one of those things where people just have a natural ability for parenting. I’m so excited to see him with a little baby again.”

Especially after having given birth last time in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“It was wild to be postpartum at the same time as all those changes in the world,” the 43-year-old explained. “Then also having all that downtime to really nest, but then also being afraid.”

2024 Celebrity Babies

Today, she feels a bit different, albeit exhausted as she works on the drama series “The Rookie” through her pregnancy.

“It helps balance my mind,” she continued. “And ‘The Rookie’ is truly the most dreamy, incredible job. Everyone is so lovely. It’s really fun, and it’s easy, and it flows, and so I think that’s a big part of why it’s easy for me to work pregnant.”

As she noted, “I’ve been on other sets that are obviously a lot more difficult. So, I love it. You’re tired, but when is a mom not tired?”

However, she believes this pregnancy will be her last. And for that, they don’t plan to find out the sex before their baby’s arrival.

“You don’t race to the end because this is the last time,” she shared. “So, there’s a bit of joy and a little sadness. I’m really trying to enjoy it all and not try to just get through the days. I really love being a mom. That’s something I knew my whole life, but I really know it now.”

Halle Bailey gives birth, welcomes first baby with boyfriend DDG https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/halle-bailey-gives-birth-welcomes-first-baby-with-boyfriend-ddg/5013793/ 5013793 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2024/01/GettyImages-1741199598.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,206 Motherhood is officially a part of Halle Bailey‘s world. 

“The Little Mermaid” actress welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Halo with boyfriend DDG, she shared in an Instagram post Jan. 6.

“Even though we’re a few days into the new year,” she captioned a photo of the pair holding their son’s hand sporting a bracelet, “the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo. the world is desperate to know you.”

Bailey, 23, and DDG, 25, first sparked romance rumors in January 2022 while attending Usher‘s Las Vegas residency. The pair soon went public with their love story, going Instagram official in honor of her 22nd birthday in March 2022.

At the time, DDG—real name Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.—reportedly called her “the beautifulest, the flyest, the sweetest” person in a since-deleted post, with her responding, “u will make me cry again.” 

As for how their fairytale began? The “Chloe x Halle” singer noted she’s been “a fan” of the “I’m Geekin” rapper for years.

“I grew up being on YouTube and would always see the young Black creators and was constantly inspired by them,” she told Essence in August 2022. “He was one of them.”

While Bailey admitted she “forgot about him” as she got older, she continued, “But then I saw that he was dropping music, and I really gravitated toward this one song. Coincidentally he messaged me—and the rest is history.”

For his part, DDG has said Bailey’s drive is what drew him to the Disney star. As he shared on “The Breakfast Club” radio show last November, “I’ve never been with nobody that’s, like, really motivated me like she do.” (It seems the couple also enjoys pranks together, as DDG celebrated April Fool’s Day this year by posting a sonogram and writing, “can’t wait to be your dad.”)

Ultimately, Bailey feels the singer-songwriter has been the real life Prince Charming to her Ariel

“I think the best thing about young love is that you’re able to continue to find yourself through this journey of loving somebody else,” she told People in May. “And you’re discovering new parts of yourself and maybe things that you didn’t notice before about your heart.”

It’s not the only transformation in her life since meeting the rapper.

“I feel like things change when love gets more involved in your life,” she noted. “I have definitely discovered more within myself as a woman. It’s a really cool thing to go through, but a transformative experience.”

However, the couple appeared to go through a difficult period in July, when he dropped a song called “Famous” that seemingly revealed tension and insecurities in the relationship. 

“Filmin’ a movie now you kissing dudes / You know I love you a lot / I don’t give a f–k if that s–t for promo / I don’t wanna see this s–t no more,” he sings. “Why is y’all holdin’ hands in the photo? / You know I’m insecure, that’s a no-no.”

Fans connected the dots to her press tour with “Little Mermaid” costar Jonah Hauer-King, who she held hands with at a May red carpet event. 

These days, it appears DDG and Bailey are as strong as ever, with him tweeting in September, “life can change in a few months… stop losing the mental battle” and later, “can’t nobody stop me from my blessings.”

Whitney Cummings gives birth to her first baby https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/whitney-cummings-gives-birth-to-her-first-baby/4960055/ 4960055 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/06/GettyImages-1397594441.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Originally appeared on E! Online

The next time Whitney Cummings takes the stage, she will do it as a mom.

The comedian has given birth to her first baby, a boy. The 41-year-old announced the news on Instagram Dec. 17, alongside a photo of herself holding her son, whose face is not shown.

“3-D printed a human,” she joked. “Enjoy me never having brushed hair again.”

The “Whitney” star had incorporated pregnancy jokes into her standup sets over the past few months and also included them in her new OnlyFans TV comedy “Whitney Cummings: Mouthy.” She also documented her pregnancy on Instagram, which is where she first announced her pregnancy in June. She shared the news alongside a sonogram and images of her playing catch with her dog, which showed her sporting a baby bump.

“In these pix I am with child,” Cummings captioned her post. “And there’s a baby in me too. Human pup coming December.”

A week later, she revealed the sex of her baby in another Instagram post, although she later edited it to remove the reference.

Celeb Baby Bumps

In recent days, Cummings shared several baby bump pics, as she counted down the days until she became a mom.

“Okay hopefully this is the last time you’ll see me prego. Tips for labor?” she asked on Instagram, adding jokingly, “Besides that I should stream it on OnlyFans?

And just one day before announcing her son’s birth, the “Whitney” star shared a video of herself standing next to her horse, who nudges her baby bump. She joked, “My horse wants this baby out as much as yall do.”

There’s a new baby Driver.

Adam Driver and wife Joanne Tucker have privately welcomed their second child, a baby girl, multiple outlets have confirmed.

Tucker, 41, was first seen hugging a baby bump back in February, while running errands with the “Girls” alum. People shared she was expecting the couple’s second baby later that month.

Driver and Tucker — who tied the knot in 2013 after meeting during the actor’s first year studying at Juilliard — are also parents to a son, who they welcomed in 2016. However, the “Marriage Story” actor has long preferred to keep his family life out of the spotlight — even telling the New Yorker in 2019 that maintaining his son’s privacy felt like a “military operation.”

Still Driver has given a glimpse into his life as a dad.

“Some facts about me: I’m a husband and a father,” the 40-year-old said during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue in 2020. “It’s in that order, though, I’ve been very clear with my son about that—he’s second in everything.”

The father of two has also included his son in parts of his job — and even took on a role in “65″ because of his son’s interest in dinosaurs.

“I basically made this thing for him to watch,” Driver told Seth Meyers on an episode of “Late Night” in March. “He has no interest in watching.”

And while his son wouldn’t see the action film because it was too scary, he ultimately just isn’t interested in his dad’s profession, the “Star Wars” actor added, “I tell him, ‘Oh I do movies sometimes’ and he goes, ‘Oh that’s cool, I hate movies.'”

Hilary Duff is pregnant with baby No. 4! See her holiday card announcement https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/hilary-duff-is-pregnant-with-baby-no-4-see-her-holiday-card-announcement/4945340/ 4945340 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/12/GettyImages-1834411778.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,219 Hilary Duff is officially winning the holiday card game.

Last year, her card featured her 10-year-old son, Luca Comrie (with ex Mike Comrie), wrapping up her and husband Matthew Koma in Christmas lights while Duff’s younger kids sat around and ate cupcakes. The image was fittingly labeled: “All is not calm.”

This year, Duff’s card contains a major surprise.

On the front, Koma and Duff’s daughters, Banks and Mae, are causing chaos while Luca and Koma appear unperturbed as they sit in cozy robes.

But the biggest shock of all is that 36-year-old Duff looks surprised and has her hand on her belly.

The text surrounding the photo reads: “So much for silent nights. Love the Duff, Bair, Comrie Crew.” (Koma was born as Matthew Bair.) Think the hand might be a fluke? Think again.

On the back of the card are sweet photos of the kids along with a note: “Buckle up Buttercups, we’re adding one more to this crazy bunch!”

Celebs are starting to chime in with their reactions to the happy news.

On Duff’s post, Elle Fanning wrote, “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ woohoooo” and Lucy Hale added, “Ahh Congrats you guys!❤️”

On Koma’s similar Instagram post, Demi Lovato wrote, “Omg!!! Congratulations!!!!”

Fans are absolutely thrilled for the adorable family. Some commented:

  • “YES YES YES YES!!❤️❤️❤️”
  • “I had a feeling- you’ve been glowing extra lately ❤️ Merry Christmas and God bless your sweet family!”
  • “Yay ! I hope its a boy this time congratulations!”
  • “WHEN ARE WE DUE???”

Other details, like due dates and gender, are absent from the card, but we’re sure this soon-to-be family of six will share more in the months to come.

Congratulations to the Duff, Bair and Comrie crew.

Ciara gives birth, welcomes baby with husband Russell Wilson https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/ciara-gives-birth-welcomes-baby-with-husband-russell-wilson/4941893/ 4941893 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2022/03/GettyImages-1377056123-e1646427526414.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,202 Originally appeared on E! Online

Ciara‘s family just leveled up.

The “Goodies” singer and her husband Russell Wilson welcomed a baby girl named Amora Princess Wilson, they announced on Dec. 11.

Alongside a photo of themselves holding the hands of their new daughter, who was adorably clad in a black onesie and knitted cap bearing her name, the couple wrote on Instagram, “We Love You so much!”

She joins 9-year-old brother Future Zahir — who Ciara shares with ex Future — as well as siblings Sienna Princess, 6, and Win Harrison, 3.

The baby news comes five days after Ciara proved that she was ready to pop, baring her baby bump at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Color Purple.” Clad in an all-white ensemble from Georges Hobeika, the “Level Up” artist unbuttoned her top to show off her belly, which she decorated with flecks of metallic gold.

At the time, Ciara admitted that she wasn’t 100% ready for her little one’s big arrival.

“The thing is, when you bring a new life, it’s such a big responsibility,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I already have three babies right now and they’re turnt. It’s like the three stooges, you never know what you’re going to get. Adding a fourth member in is like, ‘What’s that going to be like?'”

But her husband has been waiting to expand their family for quite some time. Last year, Wilson asked Ciara during her appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Can we have more babies?”

Laughing, Ciara told the Denver Broncos quarterback, who she wed in 2016, “We definitely can!”

“I’m down to do it again with you,” Ciara told Wilson at the time.

Uzo Aduba gives birth, welcomes first baby with husband Robert Sweeting https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/uzo-aduba-gives-birth-welcomes-first-baby-with-husband-robert-sweeting/4912731/ 4912731 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/12/GettyImages-1258626395.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Originally appeared on E! Online

Uzo Aduba has officially taken on a new role: mom.

The “Orange is the New Black” star announced she and husband Robert Sweeting welcomed their baby girl, Adaiba Lee Nonyem, in a heartfelt message on social media.

“I’ve never been in love so quickly, so deeply in my entire life,” Aduba wrote on Instagram Nov. 30, alongside a pair of photos with her newborn. “I really don’t know what to say, guys. My heart is full. Thank you, God. I have joy like a fountain.”

She also shared a sweet note to her little one. “We love you so much,” the Emmy winner continued. “Daughter of the people, treasurer of the mother’s names who came before you.”

In fact, the 42-year-old couldn’t help but marvel as she enters her new chapter. “I’m a Mommy you guys,” she added. “I’ve joined the club. I hear the dues are high, but the membership is completely worth it.”

Uzo Aduba’s Best Looks

Aduba’s “Orange Is the New Black” family was quick to share the love in the comments, with Danielle Brooks gushing, “My God. This is so beautiful, congratulations on the expansion of your beautiful family Uzo.”

Laverne Cox also chimed in, “Congratulations darling!! What a blessing!”

Back in June, the “Lightyear” actress confirmed she was pregnant with her and Sweeting’s first baby, debuting her growing baby bump on the red carpet at the Tony Awards. That same day, she reflected on the journey she and the filmmaker, whom she wed in 2021, were about to embark on.

“What a blessing,” she wrote in a June Instagram video of her holding a onesie. “My husband Robert and I are so happy to enter this next chapter together as parents. I am beyond excited.”

Not only has the couple’s latest chapter brought a sense of excitement, but for the “In Treatment” actress, it’s also served as motivation.

“The idea of growing a life inside of me, while still pursuing my passions,” she told NewBeauty in October. “Getting up and going to work, and handling my day-to-day made me realize how strong I truly am and how much I can do mentally and physically. I just felt really powerful.”

And that feeling of power continues.

“I grew up in a home where I got to see my mother, be a mother and work,” she explained. “That is something that partly inspired my motherhood as well.”

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace welcomes baby at 51 https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/msnbc-anchor-nicolle-wallace-welcomes-baby-at-51/4886862/ 4886862 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/11/NICOLLE-WALLACE.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 Baby news! MSNBC’s very own Nicolle Wallace has welcomed a girl.

On Nov. 21, the “Deadline: White House” anchor tuned in to her show from home to share that she and her husband, Michael S. Schmidt, welcomed their first child together.

The couple recently welcomed a girl, Isabella Sloane Schmidt, via surrogate.

Wallace became a mother for the first time in 2012 to son Liam with her former husband, Mark Wallace. 

Alicia Menendez has been filling in for the anchor during her absence. 

“Viewers of the program have probably noticed that Nicolle has been missing from this chair the past week,” Menendez said at the top of the segment before welcoming Wallace back for a brief return. 

Wallace acknowledged that some fans had debunked the possibility that she was absent because she was having a baby.

 “I understand why the truth was ruled out by so many people that Mike and I had a baby, “I have not looked at my phone in a week and am amazed at the theories out there,” Wallace, who is 51, said.

“Mike and Liam and I are smitten with her,” Wallace continued. “Our dogs are still rendering judgment. But we were able to keep it secret, obviously, because I wasn’t pregnant, but I never meant to keep it secret from our beloved viewers. I am so happy to share our happy news today.”

When prompted by Menendez to share what it is like to be a second-time mom, Wallace shared that “there are pros and cons to being a mom again 51.”

“You are tired. I was up all night last night, and I was, like, ‘wow, yeah, this is what 3:45 a.m. looks like,’” she said. “I don’t see it a lot anymore. But it’s a blessing to be, you know, focused again on what has always grounded me, and that’s my beautiful family.”

“My son Liam is 11 and was in the hospital and scooped her up in his arms and was calmer than we were at the beginning,” Wallace said.

Despite being a preteen, Wallace shared that Liam has a “knack” for taking care of his little sister.

“He just has a knack for the sway and the ‘shh,’ you know, all the things that you do no matter where you are when you have a baby,” she explained. 

It’s uncertain when Wallace will return to her show, but for now, it seems she missed her viewers, whom she says she considers family.

“You know, this show is my other family, and I would never leave,” Wallace said. “I certainly would never leave in a moment this dire. I have watched your whole program today. You (Menendez) were exquisite in that chair. I am so lucky and so grateful that you are there helming these hours while I take a couple of months to hang out with Izzy.”

Gordon Ramsay and wife Tana welcome baby No. 6 https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/gordon-ramsay-and-wife-tana-welcome-baby-no-6/4853476/ 4853476 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/11/GettyImages-1528562814.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Originally appeared on E! Online

Over the past few months, Gordon Ramsay and Tana Ramsay were cooking up a surprise.

The “MasterChef” star, 57, and his wife, 49, announced Nov. 11 that they have welcomed their sixth child, a baby boy. They had not previously revealed publicly that they were planning on expanding their family.

“What an amazing birthday present,” Gordon Ramsay, who turned 57 Nov. 8, wrote on Instagram. “Please welcome Jesse James Ramsay, 7lbs 10oz whopper!! One more bundle of love to the Ramsay brigade!! 3 boys, 3 girls…. Done.”

The “Hell’s Kitchen” star and his wife’s new arrival joins their older kids Megan Ramsay, 26, twins Holly Ramsay and Jack Ramsay, 23, Tilly Ramsay, 22, and Oscar Ramsay, 4.

The couple shared on Instagram photos of Tana Ramsay holding baby Jesse giving him skin-to-skin contact on a hospital bed, with the celebrity chef kissing their son’s head. His wife also posted a pic of Oscar Ramsay meeting his baby brother.

“It’s been a nerve wracking 9 months but we’ve made it and we have been blessed with this little bundle,” Tana wrote. “Ramsay family definitely complete. Jesse James Ramsay we love you so much.”

Travis Barker reveals name of his and Kourtney Kardashian's baby boy https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/travis-barker-reveals-name-of-his-and-kourtney-kardashians-baby-boy/4818184/ 4818184 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/10/GettyImages-1395058216.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Originally appeared on E! Online

All the small things have led to this moment.

As Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker prepare to welcome their baby boy, the Blink-182 drummer revealed what they plan to name their son: Rocky!

Barker confirmed the news on the latest episode of the “One Life One Chance” podcast, even sharing the baby’s due date has arrived.

“It’s either Halloween,” he told host Toby Morse, “or like the first week of November.”

But while Kardashian and Barker are only just sharing their son’s name with the world, they previously hinted back in June that it was already picked out. In fact, when the then-pregnant Poosh founder posted photos from a maternity shoot on Instagram, the Blink 182 drummer commented with a winky face and teased, “I already know his name.”

However, Barker later admitted that he was still brainstorming while sharing his top name ideas with daughter Alabama Barker.

“I like Rocky Thirteen,” the 47-year-old explained on the July 19 episode of Complex’s “Goat Talk” series. “That’s this name that’s been going through my head lately.” His reasoning? Well, Rocky comes from Suicidal Tendencies guitar player Rocky George and thirteen “is just the greatest number of all time.”

Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker’s Blended Family Photos

But despite her dad’s excitement over the name, Alabama was quick to share her opinions “Even he knows it’s bad,” she noted of Rocky Thirteen, instead she offered up her own suggestions. “Audemars, Milan, f–kin’ Patek. I also like Cloud—like, something weird.”

Still, that Barker has had rock and roll on the brain when it comes to naming his and the Kardashians star’s newborn should come as no surprise. Kardashian and Barker have channeled his musical background for both their pregnancy announcement—which recreated Blink-182’s “All The Small Things” music video—and their sex reveal.

In a video posted on June 24, Kardashian sat in the rocker’s lap on a concert-worthy stage set up in the couple’s backyard. Barker performed a drum roll before cannons shot out blue confetti, confirming they were adding a baby boy to their blended family.

Kardashian is also mom to Mason Disick, 13, Penelope Disick, 10, and Reign Disick, 8, with ex-partner Scott Disick. Meanwhile, Barker also shares Landon Barker, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

Prior to sharing their sweet baby news, Kardashian—who wed Barker in May 2022—had gotten candid on multiple occasions about her struggles with fertility. One month before announcing she was pregnant, the reality star shared the couple had decided to stop IVF after it yielded no viable embryos and expressed her outlook on expanding her family.

“We would love a baby more than anything, but I just really believe in what God has in store for us,” she said in a confessional on The Kardashians in May. “If that’s a baby, then I believe that it will happen. Being happy is most important, and being a good parent to my kids.”

Kailyn Lowry is pregnant with twins months after welcoming baby no. 5 https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/kailyn-lowry-is-pregnant-with-twins-months-after-welcoming-baby-no-5/4807268/ 4807268 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/10/GettyImages-1490441297.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,220 This article originally appeared on E! Online.

Kailyn Lowry is feeling twice the joy.

Three months after confirming she privately welcomed her fifth baby (her first with boyfriend Elijah Scott), the “Teen Mom” alum shared they’re now expecting twins.

For the 31-year-old, a recent trip to Thailand without her boyfriend — with whom shares baby boy Rio — served as the first hint.

“I must have got pregnant right before I left,” Lowry told TikToker Allison Kuch — who is also currently expecting — during the Oct. 27 episode of her “Barely Famous” podcast, “and I had no idea.”

As Lowry explained to the social media star, who also coincidentally visited the same destination around the same time, “When I got there, I was eating everything. My face was flushed, but I didn’t think anything of it because I was like, there’s no way. There’s no way I am.”

The MTV alum went on to note that she would welcome two new additions in the near future, opening up about previously using ovulation tools.

2023 Celebrity Babies

“I mean, this is my sixth pregnancy, six and seven for me,” the reality star — who also shares son Isaac, 13, with ex Jo Rivera, son Lincoln, 9, with ex Javi Marroquin and sons Lux, 6, and Creed, 3, with ex Chris Lopez — explained. “And I’ve gotten pregnant when I’m not actually — like I’ve tracked my ovulation and I’ve gotten pregnant on days that were not my ovulation window.”

Lowry’s announcement comes exactly two weeks after she opened up about her latest chapter of motherhood, reflecting on keeping details about welcoming baby Rio away from the public eye.

“I wanted to be able to tell my own story on my own terms,” she told “People” Oct. 13, “and kind of share what information I wanted to share.”

That said, those closest to the couple “all obviously knew,” which meant that the pair were able to enjoy an “incredible” low-key baby shower to celebrate their son.

Maluma reveals he's expecting first baby with girlfriend Susana Gomez https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/maluma-reveals-hes-expecting-first-baby-with-girlfriend-susana-gomez/4787434/ 4787434 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/10/GettyImages-1499073454-1.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Originally appeared on E! Online

Maluma is celebrating a new chapter in his life.

The Grammy winner revealed he and his girlfriend Susana Gomez are expecting their first baby together with footage included in his new music video for his single, “Procura.” Maluma, 29, debuted the heartwarming video for his song during his Oct. 19 concert in Washington, D.C.

The four-minute video features an inside look at the couple’s romance, including various clips of them together over time, which culminate with glimpses at their pregnancy journey. Maluma and Gomez are also seen celebrating their little one’s upcoming arrival at a sex reveal party, where they both wear matching necklaces that spell out the name “Paris.”

At the end, hues of smoke reveal that the pair are expecting a baby girl.

Ahead of his new chapter as a soon-to-be dad, the singer previously opened up about his desire to start a family someday. In fact, his outlook served as the inspiration for his 2020 ballad, “ADMV,” an abbreviation for “Amor De Mi Vida.”

2023 Celebrity Babies

“I decided to write this beautiful song because I also dream about having a family,” he exclusively told E! News in April 2020, “getting old and having this partner in my life.”

And while he remains enamored with his professional success, he also gave insight into where he saw his personal life going in the future.

“Of course, my career is very important, but I also dream about having a family,” he shared. “But I feel like I was spending so much energy in becoming this big artist and big star that I wanted to be. I also felt like I was forgetting my essence.”

‘Teletubbies' Sun Baby Jess Smith is pregnant with her first child https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/teletubbies-sun-baby-jess-smith-is-pregnant-with-her-first-child/4764536/ 4764536 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/10/GettyImages-1393850147.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,214 Originally appeared on E!

From over the hills and far away comes news you might want to sit down for.

The actress who played the Sun Baby on the “Teletubbies” —who you will remember was, in fact, a baby at the time—is pregnant. That’s right, Jess Smith is expecting her first child with partner Ricky Latham.

Now in her late 20s, Smith shared the news on her social media, captioning the Oct. 11 post featuring her ultrasound image, “When two becomes three.”

And naturally, her comments were filled with congratulatory messages from fans feeling the nostalgia. “The Teletubbies sun baby is having her own sun baby,” wrote one user, while summed up everyone’s feeling with, “Sun baby having a baby…damn I’m old af….congratulations mate.”

Though Smith kept her identity as an infant TV star private for much of her life, she eventually shared the news in her late teens after years of seeing others claiming to be the beloved Sun Baby. In a 2014 Facebook message thanking her university friends for encouraging her to come forward, the then-19-year-old revealed how she landed the role as an infant.

“When I was about 9 months old, my mum took me for a routine checkup at the local hospital,” Smith wrote per a screenshot she shared on Instagram in Nov. 2021, in which she reflected coming forward 7 years prior. “The midwife there has been contacted by a local production company who were looking for a smiley baby, and the midwife asked if my name could be submitted.”

She continued, “From the I had to go through auditions and short lists until they finally picked one person, ME!”

In the same post Smith, who is from the English county of Kent, revealed how they were able to capture the now-iconic shots of her laughing and looking in certain directions used in the show.

“While recording my dad held a teddy bear behind the camera to get me to laugh,” she explained. “And rolled a toy racing car to get me to look down at the camera, it obviously worked.”

The model revealed she welcomed her first baby, a daughter named Capri Summer Godchaux, with fiancé Davon Godchaux on Sept. 19.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky debut baby son Riot Rose in first official family photo https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/rihanna-and-aap-rocky-debut-baby-son-riot-rose-in-first-official-family-photo/4694761/ 4694761 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/09/GettyImages-1487186346.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,194 Originally appeared on E!

Where have these photos been all of our lives?

A little more than one month after Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Riot Rose Mayers, the couple debuted their newborn in a stunning family photoshoot. Also front and center shining bright like a diamond? Their son RZA Athelston Mayers, 16 months.

In the series of adorable photos, the family of four are seen posing together, as both Rihanna and Rocky take turns cradling their sons. For the shoot, Rihanna pulled her loose curls into an updo, and wore a denim jacket and navy ensemble. Meanwhile, the “Fashion Killa” rapper—born Rakim Mayers—sported a green plaid shirt and a white tank top paired with jeans.

And in four, five seconds RZA stole hearts with his color block shirt, denim pants and cutest face. As for baby Riot, he had our heart in an all pink ensemble, which included a matching hat and light brown boots.

Growing their family was always the hope for the duo, who have been together for nearly three years. “Listen, I’m down for whatever,” she told British Vogue in an interview published in February, just days after she revealed her pregnancy during her Super Bowl Halftime performance. “My wish would be I would like to have more kids but whatever God wants for me, I’m here.”

After all, for Rihanna, 35, and Rocky, 34, welcoming RZA changed their lives in the best way possible.

“We’re best friends with a baby,” she told the outlet. “We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”

As for RZA’s bond with his dad? Well, nothing compares. “Their connection is undeniable,” the Grammy winner added. “The second Rocky makes eye contact with him he is on fire. The whole thing they say about sons and moms, it’s a myth. Sons and fathers is crazy. I realized that the validation that you really need as a boy is from your father.”

Oh na na, what’s the name of Rihanna‘s newborn baby?

The “Umbrella” singer and partner A$AP Rocky welcomed their second son together — Riot Rose Mayers, according to a birth certificate obtained by The Blast.

Baby Riot arrived on Aug. 1, joining the couple’s 15-month-old son RZA Athelston Mayers in the family.

Rihanna cheekily announced her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime performance in February, wearing a red jumpsuit that showed off her baby bump. Despite her initial nerves about the headlining gig, Rihanna—born Robyn Rihanna Fenty—said becoming a mom encouraged her to perform.

“As scary as that was, because I haven’t been on stage in seven years, there’s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all and it’s important for me to do this this year,” she said at the Apple Music Halftime Show press conference days before the big concert, It’s important for representation. It’s important for my son to see that.”

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky: Romance Rewind

As for what else has changed in Rihanna’s life since starting a family? A much closer bond with Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers.

“We’re best friends with a baby,” she said in a February profile with British Vogue. “We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship. Everything changes when you have a baby, but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer.”

Rihanna and Rocky had been longtime friends and collaborators before sparking romance rumors in late 2020. After being spotted on numerous dates in early 2021, Rocky confirmed their relationship in May, calling Rihanna “the love of my life” and “my lady” in an interview with GQ.

“She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones,” Rocky said. “I think when you know, you know. She’s the one.”

In September 2021, the pair stepped out in matching outfits at the Met Gala—a style move which would become a staple of their romance. A few months later, Rihanna announced she was pregnant with a sweet photoshoot in taken in New York City.

However, keeping her pregnancy news under wraps posed a big challenge for the singer.

“It was harder for me to keep it from my posse, because they’re around me, they know my habits,” she told E! News in February 2022. “They’re like, ‘You don’t want something to drink? You’re not smoking?’ And I’m eating all the things I’m not used to eating. They know I hate sweets and I’m all of a sudden asking for cookies and donuts. But finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well.”

And upon becoming a dad for the first time, Rocky felt a big shift in how he approached his artistic endeavors, crediting his son for opening up a whole new point of view.

“Being outside and working and being creative, it drives more energy for you to think and soak things up like a sponge now that I’m a dad, because I have a whole other perspective,” he said in a January interview with Apple Music 1. “But it honestly helps you get home to your family and get home to your baby. And I can’t even explain it, man. You come home to heaven every day.”

Kourtney Kardashian reveals she underwent ‘urgent fetal surgery' to save her baby's life https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/kourtney-kardashian-reveals-she-underwent-urgent-fetal-surgery-to-save-her-babys-life/4657419/ 4657419 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2022/04/GettyImages-1389439574.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Kourtney Kardashian is sharing details of her family’s emergency.

After Blink-182 announced last week that Travis Barker would be leaving the band’s European tour early to deal with an “urgent family matter,” the pregnant reality star detailed her hospitalization and fetal surgery that saved their baby boy.

“I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” Kardashian wrote on Instagram Sept. 6. “I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock.”

She also acknowledged mom Kris Jenner, saying, “And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.”

“As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery,” Kardashian continued. “I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”

Kourtney Kardashian’s Pregnancy With Her and Travis Barker’s Baby

The 44-year-old, who tied the knot with Barker last year, concluded her message, “Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.”

Blink-182 first announced Barker’s departure with a statement to their Instagram stories, “Due to an urgent family matter, Travis has had to return home to the States,” the rock band, who was in Scotland at the time for a Sept. 2 show, wrote. “The Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin shows are being postponed. More information in regards to his return to Europe and rescheduled dates will be provided as soon as available.”

Barker also shared several images from the Glasgow prayer room to his Instagram Story.

It was on this world tour, during which Barker and Mark Hoppus reunited with Tom DeLonge for the first time in nearly a decade, that he and Kardashian first announced they were expecting.

Back in June, the happy couple — who had been open about their journey to have a baby together — told the world their sweet news at a Blink-182 concert in Los Angeles. During the show, the Poosh founder held up a sign that read, “Travis I’m pregnant,” paying homage to the group’s 1999 “All The Small Things” video. She later kissed the drummer in celebration.

Kardashian and Barker’s blended family also includes the Lemme founder’s three children from her prior relationship with Scott DisickMason, 13; Penelope, 10; and Reign, 8 — as well as Travis’ children Landon, 19, and Alabama, 17, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. He’s also stepdad to the former beauty queen’s daughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24.

Then weeks after announcing Kardashian’s pregnancy, the couple revealed they were expecting a baby boy.

She and the drummer have been very candid about their pregnancy journey on “The Kardashians,” as well as on social media, with Kardashian also frequently taking to Instagram to show off her baby bump.

Back in August, amid a carousel of images of Kardashian posing in a red bikini, the expecting mom penned a sweet message to her baby boy. “growing you inside of me, my son,” she captioned the August 8 post, “is the greatest blessing, honor and joy.”

Karlie Kloss gives birth, welcomes baby no. 2 with husband Joshua Kushner https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/karlie-kloss-gives-birth-welcomes-baby-no-2-with-husband-joshua-kushner/4505435/ 4505435 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/07/GettyImages-1491338286.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Karlie Kloss is looking motherhood right in the eye.

The supermodel welcomed her second child with husband Joshua Kushner on July 11, he shared on Instagram.

Accompanied by a photo of their baby, Kushner wrote on July 13, “Welcome to the world.”

Kloss—who also shares son Levi, 2, with Kushner—fashionably announced her second pregnancy during the Met Gala 2023, where she showed off her baby bump in a figure-hugging black gown with strands of pearls by Loewe.

While putting her hands on her baby bump, Kloss reflected on the stylish pregnancy reveal during an interview with E! News, saying, “Baby’s first Met Gala. I mean, it’s hard to top this. I will be telling them about this for many years.”

The 30-year-old also posed for photos with Kushner, as the couple was photographed with his hand wrapped around her waist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

In the days following up to her newborn’s birth, Kloss had shared adorable baby bump updates to her Instagram. In a June 27 post, she shared an adorable snapshot of her and Levi in a nursery, writing, “life lately.”

Karlie Kloss & Joshua Kushner’s Cutest Pics

Kloss and Kushner—whose brother Jared Kushner is married to Ivanka Trump—tied the knot in upstate New York in 2018 and welcomed Levi in 2021. A year later, Kloss gave a glimpse into her motherhood journey, recalling how she fell in love with her son “the moment he was placed in my arms.”

“I just had this moment of like, ‘Wow, every woman who has a child, every parent goes through this,'” she told Today in April 2022. “It’s just the most profound experience that I had no idea until having a kid.”

Calling parenting “the greatest joy I never knew,” Kloss reflected on how becoming a mom has impacted her life.

“Priorities change. Everything changes. I think the last few years have changed us as well,” she acknowledged before joking, “I have become, first of all, so much more efficient with my time. I’m actually on time everywhere now.”

And becoming parents only made Kloss and Kushner’s love story that much sweeter. After all, the “Project Runway” host had previously gushed about standing hand-in-hand with Kushner through all of life’s ups and downs.

“I absolutely met, married and am madly in love with my soulmate,” Kloss said on the “InCharge with DVF” podcast in 2020. “He is truly my partner. He is my partner in life. He is my best friend. He is my other half. I didn’t know that I could love someone in this kind of way and I feel like I’ve almost grown up with him. I met him when I was 19 and I think there’s a lot of growing into myself that I still was doing when I first met him and still am to this day.”

Erin Andrews and Husband Jarret Stoll welcome first baby after years-long infertility struggle https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/erin-andrews-and-husband-jarret-stoll-welcome-first-baby-via-surrogate/4495623/ 4495623 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/07/GettyImages-642479054.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll‘s team just got a little bigger.

The sportscaster, 45, and the former NHL player, 41, recently welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, via surrogate, E! News can confirm.

The newborn’s arrival comes after Andrews previously shared her journey to motherhood, including her experience with IVF.

“For those familiar, you know it’s a time-consuming and emotionally draining process,” she wrote in a 2021 essay for Facebook Bulletin. “This is my 7th one, and I’ve been going through these treatments since I was 35 years old. I’m now 43, so my body is kind of stacked against me. I have been trying to do IVF treatment for a while now, but sometimes it doesn’t go the way you want it. Your body just doesn’t allow it.”

In the piece, the former “Dancing With the Stars” host described how “the entire treatment takes such a mental and emotional toll on your body.”

Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll’s Cutest Moments

“You feel like s—,” she continued. “You feel bloated and hormonal for a week and a half. You could go through this whole experience and get absolutely nothing out of it — that’s the crazy part. It’s a ton of money, it’s a ton of time, it’s a ton of mental and physical anguish.”

However, Andrews noted she wanted to share her story to make anyone else going through the process feel less alone.

“I think that’s why a lot of people choose to be quiet about it,” she added. “Because maybe we feel as if this is something we have to do, and we don’t want to jinx it. On the other hand, we can also feel like we’re a failure as females or to our partners. But we are all warriors for going through this! The fertility clinic can sometimes be so full, it’s heartbreaking, but we really aren’t alone here. You never know who else is going through this; it could be another co-worker or the person making your coffee every day. There are more people than you think.”

Andrews and Stoll’s new chapter as parents comes six years after they tied the knot in a 2017 ceremony. The year prior, she had been diagnosed with cervical cancer. Shortly after her diagnosis, the sports journalist underwent surgery and was declared cancer-free.

Andrews revealed in an interview with Health magazine in 2016 that she’d frozen her eggs a few years prior.

“I had actually frozen my eggs before all this a couple of years back, just because it was all the rage,” she told the publication at the time, per Extra. “But it definitely took a serious turn for us.”

Page Six was first to report the news of Andrews and Stoll welcoming their first child.

Al Roker is a grandpa! TODAY co-host's daughter welcomes first child https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/al-roker-is-a-grandpa-today-co-hosts-daughter-welcomes-first-child/4476977/ 4476977 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2022/11/ALROKER.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 The TODAY family has officially grown by one, and no one is more thrilled than new grandpa Al Roker!

The TODAY hosts announced Al’s daughter Courtney Roker Laga gave birth on Monday to a healthy baby girl. Courtney and her husband, Wes, named the little one Sky Clara Laga.

Al passed along word Tuesday that everyone was doing well and the family “couldn’t be happier.”

Little Sky is Al’s first grandchild, and it’s safe to say the TODAY co-host is thrilled to officially add his grandpa name “Pop-Pop” to his list of titles.

“That’s really cute that his first grandchild’s name is Sky,” TODAY co-host Sheinelle Jones said. “How cute is that?”

Courtney Roker Laga announced the couple was expecting a child in March, posting a video to her Instagram set to a remix of Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby.”

The caption on the post read: “A new adventure is about to begin ❤️🍼.”

“We are extremely excited to welcome a new member into our family and start this next chapter in our lives,” Courney told TODAY.com in a text message confirming the happy news.

“We feel truly blessed and excited for our little miracle.”

During a 3rd Hour of TODAY segment on March 15, Al told his fellow TODAY co-hosts that the news he was going to be a grandfather “still hasn’t quite sunken in.”

He also revealed that it was his son-in-law’s brother who accidentally spilled the pregnancy beans.

“Wes’ goofy brother accidentally dropped (the news) on a text,” Al said at the time. “Thanks Cory.”

Al’s TODAY co-hosts were quick to celebrate the family’s newest arrival and Al’s foray into grandfatherhood.

“Sky’s first forecast, she’ll be doing it on Monday,” co-host Peter Alexander joked on Tuesday’s show.

Courtney and Wes got married back in 2021.

Al shares Courtney with his ex-wife, Alice Bell. He also shares two kids — daughter Leila and son Nick — with his wife, Deborah Roberts.

A publicist for Harington confirmed Monday that the couple, who famously met on the set of “Game of Thrones” and are now both 36, have added a daughter to their family. Further details weren’t immediately available.

In early 2021, the pair confirmed the birth of a son.

Harington and Leslie’s relationship began in 2011 on the set of the HBO megahit series, on which they played star-crossed lovers Jon Snow — a brother of the Night’s Watch with kingdom-shattering secrets — and Ygritte, a rebel wildling. They married in 2018 at Leslie’s ancestral castle in Scotland.

Since leaving “Game of Thrones” in 2014, Leslie has starred in the legal drama “The Good Fight,” sci-fi romance series “The Time Traveler’s Wife” and the Kenneth Branagh-directed Agatha Christie remake “Death on the Nile.” Since “Game of Thrones” concluded in 2019, Harington has had roles in the anthology shows “Modern Love” and “Extrapolations” and in Marvel’s “Eternals.”

All of you will love all of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's family photos https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/all-of-you-will-love-all-of-chrissy-teigen-and-john-legends-family-photos/4461903/ 4461903 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2019/09/John-Legend_Chrissy-Tiegen.png?fit=300,165&quality=85&strip=all Chrissy Teigen kept a little secret from fans over the past year: She and husband John Legend were preparing to welcome two babies.

On June 28, five months after the Chrissy’s Court star gave birth to daughter Esti Maxine Stephens, the model shared that the couple had also welcomed a son named Wren Alexander Stephens via surrogate. He joins big sister Luna, 7, and Miles, 5.

“We want to say thank you for this incredible gift you have given us, Alexandra,” Chrissy wrote to her surrogate, sharing a pic of herself kissing Alexandra’s baby bump. “And we are so happy to tell the world he is here, with a name forever connected to you, Wren Alexander Stephens.”

And now, their family is complete.

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted four children,” the 37-year-old wrote. “As a little girl, 2 glow worms and 2 cabbage patch dolls were perpetually in my arms, helping me stir in my kitchen, watching Alf with me. We’d sleep together nightly, each getting the same amount of kisses as to note make the others jealous.”

Wren’s arrival also comes amid a years-long fertility struggle—Luna, Miles, Esti and Wren were created via IVF—and major heartache. In 2020, Chrissy suffered a pregnancy loss with son Jack.

“Our hearts, and our home, are officially full,” she wrote in her latest post. “And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you.”

‘iCarly's' Nathan Kress welcomes baby No. 3 with wife London https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/icarlys-nathan-kress-welcomes-baby-no-3-with-wife-london/4459504/ 4459504 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/06/GettyImages-1390550310.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Nathan Kress is an iDad of three.

The “iCarly” alum welcomed his third baby—a son named Lincoln William Kress — with wife London Kress, he announced on Instagram June 27 alongside photos of him holding his newborn.

“Rapid-fire life update! 1. We’re having a baby! 2. It’s a boy! 3. He’s here!” Kress captioned his adorable Instagram carousel. “Lincoln William Kress popped by last week but it’s been too much fun around here to have time to talk about it.”

And Lincoln is already fitting right in with his family, which also includes big sisters Evie Elise, 2, and Rosie Carolyn, 5, as well as furry friend Penny.

“Little Link is AWESOME,” the Nickelodeon star, who plays Freddie Benson on “iCarly,” continued, “my wife is an absolute champ as always, our girls are the Big Sis dynamic duo, and Penny is veeeeeery interested in the mesmerizing smells that emanate from this weird blob we brought home. Onward to life as a family of [five].”

2023 Celebrity Babies

London gave another glimpse into their growing family with an Instagram post of her own, featuring snapshots of Kress cutting Lincoln’s umbilical cord and her daughters snuggling with the baby boy.

“Welcome, my sweet son. Lincoln William Kress,” London, who married Kress in 2015, captioned her post. “Our First Day of Summer baby, following his sisters’ First Day of Winter & Spring birthdays. Enjoying this latest new season of our lives to the fullest!”

Unlike her previous pregnancies, the stunt performer opted to keep her baby news under wraps this time around. However, she seemingly hinted in January that her lack of social media activity was due to a packed schedule.

“It’s been about 10 months or so since I’ve posted anything, so here to notify you that we’re indeed still alive!” London wrote. “We’ve been staying a little busy (the good kinda busy), & are enjoying life with each other & our kids!

Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant, expecting first baby with husband Travis Barker https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/kourtney-kardashian-is-pregnant-expecting-first-baby-with-husband-travis-barker/4431273/ 4431273 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/06/GettyImages-1471345150.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant.

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum is expecting a baby with husband Travis Barker, she announced at the Blink-182 concert in Los Angeles on June 16. Kourtney held up a sign reading, “Travis I’m Pregnant” and later kissed the drummer.

Kourtney’s pregnancy comes one year after the Poosh founder tied the knot with the rocker in front of friends and family in Italy.

The May 22 wedding was actually the third time the couple exchanged vows, having first said “I do” during a Las Vegas ceremony in April. At the time, however, they did not have a marriage license. Weeks later, the pair made their union legal at a courthouse in Santa Barbara, Calif., with Kourtney’s grandma Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell and his dad Randy Barker serving as witnesses.

Now, the newlyweds are entering a new chapter together as they prepare to welcome a baby. As fans have seen on their Hulu show “The Kardashians,” Kourt and Travis have been trying to have a baby together for some time now.

The newborn will join Kourtney’s three children from a prior relationship with Scott Disick: Mason Disick, 13; Penelope Disick, 10; and Reign Disick, 8. Meanwhile, Travis co-parents Landon Barker, 19, and Alabama Barker, 17, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. He’s also stepdad to Atiana De La Hoya, 24.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker: Romance Rewind

Kourtney and Travis had turned to IVF to try to have a baby together, but she gave an update during the May 25 episode of “The Kardashians.”

“We are officially done with IVF,” Kourtney said in a confessional. “We would love a baby more than anything, but I just really believe in what God has in store for us. If that’s a baby, then I believe that it will happen.”

After living in the same Calabasas neighborhood for some time, the transition from neighbors to lovers simply made sense to Kourtney and Travis. As a source close to Kourtney previously told E! News, Travis’ kids “love Kourt and are so happy seeing their dad in love.”

The insider added, “It’s been a great fit for everyone.”

The mom-to-be has grown especially close to Alabama, who E!’s insider said “knows she can always go to Kourtney for advice or support with anything going on.”

Since making their relationship official in Feb. 2021, Kourtney and Travis have enjoyed getaways to the California desert, Utah and Disneyland, among many date nights at Nobu in Malibu.

On top of all those PDA Instagram photos that tell fans all they need to know about their romance, the couple has been open about declaring their love on “The Kardashians” and during other TV appearances.

“Up until now,” Travis explained during a 2021 appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “I would, you know, date girls that didn’t have kids, and I find it kind of hard. I think they would have trouble understanding, ‘Well, why don’t you want to go to dinner every night with me?’ or ‘Why don’t you want to see me every night?'”

He continued, “And now, I’m spending time with a woman who’s a great mom; who’s, like, a great friend. And I just, you don’t have to worry about any of those things. It just comes natural. It’s like a maturity thing.”

Al Pacino, 83, is a father for the fourth time, welcoming son Roman with Noor Alfallah https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/al-pacino-83-is-a-father-for-the-fourth-time-welcoming-son-roman-with-noor-alfallah/4426746/ 4426746 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/06/AL-PACINO.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 Al Pacino is a father for the fourth time.

Pacino’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that the actor, 83, and 29-year-old Noor Alfallah welcomed a son named Roman.

No other details, including when or where the baby was born, were released. The news was first reported by TMZ.

He is Pacino’s fourth child and first with Alfallah. Pacino has a 33-year-old daughter, Julie Marie, with acting coach Jan Tarrant and 22-year-old twins Anton and Olivia with actor Beverly D’Angelo.

Pacino and Alfallah reportedly began dating last year. She describes herself as a “raconteur” on her Instagram page and her IMDB page notes that she’s a producer on two movies currently in post-production, including “Billy Knight,” starring Pacino.

Pacino’s baby news follows close on the heels of that of longtime friend and fellow actor Robert De Niro. A representative for the 79-year-old actor confirmed last month that De Niro had become a father for the seventh time.

Al Pacino, 83, Is Expecting a Baby With Girlfriend Noor Alfallah https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/al-pacino-82-is-expecting-a-baby-with-girlfriend-noor-alfallah/4380834/ 4380834 post https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2023/05/GettyImages-1483411368.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Al Pacino has a baby on the way.

The 83-year-old actor and his girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, are expecting their first child together, Pacino’s rep confirms to NBC News after TMZ broke the news.

Alfallah, 29, is currently eight months pregnant with the “Scarface” star’s fourth child. The pair have been romantically linked since April 2022 after being photographed leaving Felix Restaurant in Venice, California.

In April of this year, Alfallah shared a photo of her with Pacino on her Instagram. The pair were at the Gagosian art gallery in New York City seeing her friend’s exhibition.

Alfallah previously dated Mick Jagger from 2017 to 2018, per E! Online.

Pacino is also father to daughter Julie Marie, 33, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Jan Tarrant. He also shares 22-year-old twins Anton and Olivia with ex Beverly D’Angelo.

In an interview with The New Yorker in 2014, Pacino opened up about not wanting to be like his father, who left his family when he was 2.

“Having children has helped a lot. I consciously knew that I didn’t want to be like my dad. I wanted to be there. I have three children. I’m responsible to them. I’m a part of their life,” he said, adding that when he’s not around them it’s “upsetting to me and to them.”

“So that’s part of the gestalt And I get a lot from it. It takes you out of yourself,” he added.

Pacino’s baby news comes the same month that his longtime friend and former co-star Robert De Niro also welcomed another child. (The internet was also divided on whether a young Pacino or De Niro was more alluring.)

The 79-year-old actor subtly revealed that he was now a father of seven while chatting with Entertainment Tonight Canada.

“I just had a baby,” the “Taxi Driver” star said, without revealing more information. A rep for De Niro later confirmed the details to TODAY.com on May 9.

That same day, De Niro spoke with “Access Hollywood” where he shared fatherhood tips.

“Sometimes I don’t think people really know what being a good father is,” he said, quickly adding, “Well, they do. You know you have your responsibility.”

“But look, it’s a mystery. It’s a lot of excitement, but scary. And you do your best,” he said. 

CORRECTION (May 31 at 11:09 a.m. ET): A previous version of this story said Al Pacino is 82 years old. He is 83.
