When the Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host, 53, asked, “Who is your favorite baby mama?” on The Nick Cannon Show, the audience chanted for the former Nickelodeon star, 41, to “plead the fifth.”

The Masked Singer host replied, “I got this. I ain’t scared of you, Andy. My favorite baby mama is the next one.”

The Bravo personality looked shocked, saying, “I don’t think that was a good answer.”

Cannon became a father of seven in June, welcoming twin sons Zion and Zillion and son Zen, all now 4 months, with Abby De La Rosa and Alyssa Scott, respectively.

The infants arrived six months after the Wild ’N Out host’s daughter with Brittany Bell, Powerful, arrived, now 11 months. He and the former pageant queen, 32, also share son Golden, 4, while Cannon and Mariah Carey are the parents of twins Moroccan and Monroe, 10.

The America’s Got Talent host has been open about being celibate since September. “My therapist says I should be celibate,” the All That alum told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “OK, give me a break bus. I’m [gonna] take a break from having kids.”

Two months later, the actor told Extra: “I’m trying to be responsible. I’m trying to lead by example because I am a father of many. I gotta show self-preservation, self-control, discipline. It’s those aspects. I’ve done it before. I think the longest I’ve ever gone is probably a year and a half. I was in church every day!”

While raising his children, the California native has spoken candidly about his coparenting relationship with his ex-wife, 52. (He and the “All I Want for Christmas Is You” singer were married from 2008 to 2014.)

“We got our egos and this selfish behavior [but] when you put your children first, you understand that it’s all unconditional love. All that other stuff just falls apart,” Cannon exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2019. “I always want what’s best for my children.”

Carey gave an update in September of the following year, writing in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey: “We will always be family and we make it work. We still have fun, reminisce, and joke. And we are both certain that Roc and Roe are indeed our light. Every day they give us new life.”

“My sweet babies decided to come early,” the YouTuber, 34, captioned her Wednesday, November 10, Instagram reveal. “Go see the magical chaos that happened this weekend.”

The California native shared her birth story via YouTube, beginning by telling son Flynn, 2, that her water had broken in bed. After straightening her hair and driving to the hospital with Stocklin, 39, Ballinger found out that she had an umbilical cord complication and needed an emergency C-section.

“I guess I had babies today,” Ballinger said after the infants, a son and a daughter, arrived four minutes apart. “That was crazy. … We couldn’t film it. It was too fast, too hectic, too scary. It was really insane. I’m OK. They are OK, but they’re going to be in the NICU for a little.”

The little ones arrived six months after the Haters Back Off alum’s pregnancy announcement.

“I can’t believe I’m pregnant with TWINS,” Ballinger told her Instagram followers in May. “A lot of people have asked how Flynn reacted to the news. He is very excited and loves giving the babies kisses … but now he thinks everyone has babies in their tummy. Including himself. Lol he’s gonna be an incredible brother and I’m so grateful for all his cuddles and kisses when I’m feeling nauseous.”

Her partner shared the news with a post of his own, writing, “Party of five.” She and the actor went on to share the sex of their upcoming arrivals in July.

“I have a little son and a little daughter in me,” the singer said in a YouTube video at the time. “I’m so excited. Oh, my God, I can’t believe it! This is, like, the best day ever. This was such a magical experience for me. I thought I wasn’t gonna know the genders of the babies for at least another month.”

The actress showed her baby bump progress throughout her pregnancy, writing via Instagram in September that it had been a “painful, draining [and] awful” experience.

“This pregnancy has been … not fun. No ‘pregnancy glow’ for me,” she captioned a photo of her bare belly. “Somehow, I’m surviving and I’m really excited to meet my new lil’ boy and girl this winter. I just wish I could sleep through the last three to four months of pregnancy and wake up to those cute little muffins in my arms. I get to have double the cuddles!! Double the kisses!! Double the newborn cuteness! I’m so excited!”

The vlogger and Stocklin tied the knot in 2018 in California, welcoming Flynn in December of that same year.

Airing his hesitations. Matthew McConaughey has three children and is reluctant for them to get a COVID-19 vaccine — despite getting the shot himself.

“Right now, I’m not vaccinating mine,” the actor, 52, said during the DealBook Online Summit on Tuesday, November 9, of Levi, 13, Vida, 11, and Livingston, 8. “I’ll tell you that.”

The Dallas Buyers Club star and his wife, Camila Alves, are fully vaccinated, McConaughey clarified.

“I didn’t do it because someone told me I had to — [I] chose to do it,” the Oscar winner explained. “Do I think that there’s any kind of scam or conspiracy theory? Hell no. We all got to get off that narrative. There’s not a conspiracy theory on the vaccines.”

That being said, the Texas native said that he would not support mandate vaccines for children, adding, “I couldn’t mandate having to vaccinate the younger kids. I still want to find out more information.”

Earlier this month, the CDC recommended the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11 after studying the effects on over 2,000 children. The most common side effect was a sore arm.

The True Detective alum’s comments came one year after he addressed rumors that he was considering running for Texas governor.

“I don’t know. I mean, that wouldn’t be up to me. It would be up to the people more than it would me,” McConaughey told political commentator Hugh Hewitt in November 2020. “Look, politics seems to be a broken business to me right now. And when politics redefines its purpose, I could be a hell of a lot more interested.”

That same month, the Interstellar star told James Corden that he had “no plans to do that right now.”

The Golden Globe winner explained at the time: “As I move forward in life, yes, I am gonna consider leadership roles where I can be most useful. I’d love to. I’m doing that regardless.”

While the producer has not made his political affiliation public, he made headlines in October 2020 for saying America should come together regardless of whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden won the election.

“Whoever is going to be commander in chief and president of the United States of America, that’s not something, hopefully, that we’re going to deny or be able to argue,” the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star said during a Fox & Friends appearance at the time. “It’s time to get constructive and not deny the fact of whatever’s happened and embrace the situation.”

Brave boy! Prince William and Duchess Kate’s 8-year-old son, Prince George, ate a live ant when he met Bear Grylls in August 2019.

“As we were chatting, a stream of ants went across his feet,” the Man vs. Wild star, 47, said during a Tuesday, November 9, Good Morning Britain appearance. “Him and me looked at them. He looked at me with those amazed wide eyes, and I said, ‘Come on, we’ve got to eat one.’ And he said, ‘Oh really?’ And we ate.”

The adventurer joked that it was a “privilege to give the future king his first ant” at the King’s Cup Regatta.

“His eyes lit up as they do with anyone when they’re out in the wild and they face a few fears and they overcome them, so good for him,” the England native added. “What a little hero.”

The Running Wild With Bear Grylls star referenced the moment when he won the Regatta and made a speech at the awards ceremony. “Prince George, your first ant you ate today … that is a great moment,” Grylls said at the time. “Well done, you.”

The Never Give Up author elaborated on the major moment in his book, which was published in October.

“I will never tire of that wonderful grimace on people’s faces as they eat something from the survivor menu for the first time. Whoever they are, it’s always priceless,” the Island With Bear Grylls star wrote last month. “But I don’t think I will ever see wider eyes than Prince George’s, nor a broader grin. It was a fun moment that I hope, when he is king one day and I am an old man, he might still remember. After all, who can ever forget eating their first ant?”

After meeting Grylls in 2019, George met natural historian David Attenborough in October of the following year. He asked which animal the A Life on Our Planet author, 95, thinks will “become extinct next,” and the question marked the first time the future monarch spoke on camera. His younger siblings joined in as well.

“Hello David Attenborough, I like spiders. Do you like spiders too?” Princess Charlotte, 6, asked in 2020. Prince Louis, 3, added, “What animal do you like?”

George received a shark tooth from the broadcaster during the visit. Malta’s culture minister asked for the artifact back, later agreeing to let the little one keep the gift.

“When Ty and I chose a semi-open adoption at 16, I never realized how joyful and painful it would be,” Lowell, 29, said in a confessional. “After Carly turned 4, the cameras weren’t allowed at our visits out of respect to her adoptive parents, but now I focus on the girls having a relationship as sisters.”

The MTV personalities are also the parents of daughters Novalee, 6, Vaeda, 2, and Rya, 2 months. The reality stars brought their little ones to a park to hang out with their big sister before having a group dinner. The 16 and Pregnant alums cried after saying goodbye to the preteen.

“I tried to hold it in as long as I could,” Baltierra, 29, tweeted alongside a video of himself wiping away tears. “Saying goodbye is honestly devastating. Especially when we don’t know what the future holds or how long it will be until the next visit.”

While subsequently peaking to their adoption counselor, Dawn, about his departure, Baltierra said, “It doesn’t get easier.”

Dawn replied, “You wouldn’t be human if it did. … She adores you guys so much. You’re going to be the only thing she thinks about and talks about for the next weeks. She’s just going to be thinking about all these special times together. It’s so meaningful.”

Baltierra and Lowell’s relationship with Carly’s parents, Brandon and Teresa, has been “growing,” Lowell exclusively told Us Weekly in October.

“They are her parents,” she explained last month. “They get to make all the decisions for her and rightfully so. Relationships are hard any which way. So it’s just all about … learning and maneuvering.”

At the time, Carly had yet to meet her youngest sister. “We have sent her mom and dad pictures and stuff like that,” Lowell said. “She’s seen her, but not in person yet.”

Novalee was “great” with the infant, she added, explaining, “With her being just a little bit older [than when Vaeda was born], she was, like, 10 times more excited. She’s so caring and really helpful. … Vaeda is very loving and talk[s] to the baby when she cries. She’s … always giving [Rya] kisses and hugs.”

Taking it slow. Sadie Robertson and Christian Huff are pressing pause before giving their 6-month-old daughter, Honey, a sibling.

When the Duck Dynasty alum, 24, did an Instagram Story Q&A on Tuesday, November 9, one of her followers asked whether she plans on “having more kids.” The former reality star replied, “Yes! But not anytime soon.”

The Louisiana native’s comment came one month after she opened up to E! News about her future family plans with her husband, 23.

“One day we’ll say four kids, one day we’ll say three,” the Live on Purpose author told the outlet in October, noting that she is also open to adoption because she has “seen the beauty” of her own “blended family.” (The actress’ mom and dad, Korie Robertson and Willie Robertson, adopted daughter Rebecca and sons Will and Rowdy.)

The “Whoa! That’s Good” podcast cohost announced in October 2020 that she and the Auburn University grad had a little one on the way, nearly one year after their Louisiana wedding.

“SCREAMING WITH EXCITEMENT TO SHARE THIS NEWS!” Sadie wrote via Instagram at the time. “Baby we already adore you. What I’ve learned from you already: God has still been creating. God is still believing in us. God is still bringing forth LIFE. Hope is still to come. How we choose to live will affect your generation to come, so I want to live my life to the fullest and be loud for you.”

The couple’s baby girl arrived in May. Two months later, the new mom shared her “scary” birth story on her podcast.

“I thought they cut me open because of how painful it was when they pressed on my stomach,” the Live Original author told her listeners in July. “Now I know they were pressing my pelvis bone to get her out because what happened was Honey got stuck. Her shoulder got stuck. In that moment, every second counts and they couldn’t get her out for two minutes and 10 seconds. This really was very scary and really dangerous.”

After the infant’s knee subsequently got stuck, she did emerge and had a “crazy” recovery.

Sadie explained at the time: “The nurses said she really should not have been breathing on her own. They were about to take her to the NICU. Her shoulder wasn’t even broken, and they tried to break it to get her out. It was supposed to be, but it wasn’t. The nurses came and they were like, ‘It has to be dislocated.’ It wasn’t even dislocated. They had three doctors check her shoulder because they were in disbelief.”

The newborn “never had to have any other care because she was so strong,” the I’m Not Ashamed star gushed.

Another one! Audrey Roloff gave birth to her and Jeremy Roloff’s third baby on Monday, November 8.

“Welcome to the world Radley Knight Roloff,” Audrey, 30, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, November 9. “We are so grateful to God for answering so many specific prayers in regards to this labor and delivery.”

The TV personality noted that the couple’s new baby boy was born at 6:32 a.m. and weighed 9.1 lbs. “A word that I had been praying over this birth was ‘harmony,'” Audrey continued. “And it truly was one of the most harmonious experiences.”

A post shared by Jeremy James Roloff (@jeremyroloff)

Jeremy also announced the arrival of their son via social media, praising his wife for her “immense strength” during the birth.

“The Roloff household is healthy and full of joy, thank you all for the prayers and well wishes,” he captioned the post.

Audrey first showed her baby bump, as well as an ultrasound photo, in her July pregnancy announcement.

“We’re about to be a family of 5!” the Oregon native captioned a video with her husband, 31, and their kids — daughter Ember, 4, and son Bode, 22 months. “Our little tie-breaker is coming this November!”

When Jeremy added in a post of his own that he was closer to convincing Audrey “to get a minivan,” she replied, “Nice try but no you cannot [have one].”

The Little People, Big World alums’ reveal came six months after they exclusively told Us Weekly about their plans to expand their family.

“We’ve always said we wanted to have a big family, and I do feel like my body [is] totally recovered now,” Audrey said in January. “I’m a year out. Bode — he just had his 1st birthday. So we want to have more kids sometime soon in the near future.”

She and Jeremy became parents in September 2017 when Ember arrived, and the toddler was a “sweet” big sister to her baby brother following his January 2020 birth.

“Jer and I can’t stop smiling and laughing at the things she says about him and to him,” Audrey wrote via Instagram at the time. “She’s so eager to take care of him and give him lots of lovies.”

The siblings got along “pretty good … in the beginning,” Audrey told Us the following year. “[Bode learning to] crawl and take her toys was a different adjustment, but she’s always been super into babies and super nurturing, so she was excited.”

Audrey and Jeremy wed in September 2014 in Oregon, four months after the groom got down on one knee.

The former TLC personalities celebrate every anniversary “like a national holiday,” Audrey told her Instagram followers in September 2020.

“To us, it’s super important,” she captioned a slideshow of PDA pics at the time. “In my opinion, the celebration of your marriage once a year should merit more planning, rearranging work schedules, building suspense, creativity and tradition than most of the American holidays. Every other year Jeremy and I trade off who plans our anniversary — we both like surprises.”

The comedian, 38, called the infant an obviously “adorable baby” since it’s “Colin and Scarlett’s baby together” during a Monday, November 8, Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon appearance.

That being said, the New York native only likes to hang out with newborns “for, like, a second,” telling Jimmy Fallon: “You know they don’t do much after you’ve looked at them and they’re just staring at you trying to keep their head on straight. It’s like ‘get this wiggly thing away from me.’”

The former Daily Show With Jon Stewart correspondent added that he doesn’t like babysitting but it’s “great” — as long as parents appreciate his particular style.

“I’ve been babysitting my whole life,” Che said. “I have nieces and nephews that are like three years younger than me. I’ve been babysitting them since they were babies. Since I was a baby, actually. I just let you cry until you’re sleepy.”

Jost, 39, announced his baby boy’s arrival in August, referencing Che in the social media upload at the time.

“OK OK we had a baby,” the A Very Punchable Face author wrote via Instagram at the time. “His name is Cosmo. We love him very much. Privacy would be greatly appreciated. For all inquiries, please contact our publicist [Michael Che]. #wegotawaywithitforalongtime #nokidspolicy #we’regoingtodisneyland.”

The reveal came three days after Jost said in an August 15 comedy show that Johansson, 36, was pregnant with their first child together. (The actress is also the mother of daughter Rose, 7, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.)

Deadline reported at the time that the Ghost in the Shell star was “in the hospital in labor” shortly after Black Widow’s July 9 release.

After Cosmo’s arrival, the Oscar nominee’s mother-in-law, Kerry Kelly, made it clear she didn’t like the name that Johansson and Jost chose, the new dad told Seth Meyers in September.

“I don’t know if she thought it was kind of like a hippie thing,” Jost explained at the time. “She would call us after three or four days, she’d be like, ‘Cosmo. … And now, is it final? Like, did you submit the birth certificate?’ And we’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, we did that at the hospital.’ She was like ‘OK, interesting.’”

Jost and Johansson tied the knot in October 2020 in New York, one year after their engagement.

Nearing an empty nest! Three months after Brooke Shields’ eldest daughter, Rowan, started college, the actress exclusively told Us Weekly how she feels about the transition.

“I miss her every day,” the model, 56, gushed at Glamour’s Women of the Year in New York City on Monday, November 8.

The New York native, who is also the mother of daughter Grier, 15, with husband Chris Henchy, documented Rowan’s college drop-off in August.

“My unique and extraordinary baby girl spreading her wings,” the There Was a Little Girl author wrote via Instagram at the time. “I love you so. We are so proud of you. This was the saddest drive away from anywhere I’ve ever had to make. But my baby is BEGINNING one of the most important adventures of her life to date … NOW!”

Two months prior, the Blue Lagoon star told her Instagram followers that she wore waterproof mascara when Rowan left high school. “My baby girl’s graduation and she performed at the celebration,” Shields captioned June photos and videos from the milestone moment.

As “a graduation gift and memory,” the mother-daughter pair got matching ladybug tattoos. “I’m so proud of you, I love you more than words can say,” the Pretty Baby star captioned Instagram photos of their new ink.

That same month, the then-senior wore one of her mom’s gowns to prom. Shields explained via Instagram: “I thought it was a special night when I was nominated for a Golden Globe and wore this dress in 1998, but nothing could have prepared me to see my daughter wearing it to her prom. Proud mama!”

The About My Mother author and Henchy, 57, enjoyed their “first family weekend” with Rowan at Wake Forest University last month, and the teenager came home for a visit on Sunday, November 7.

While raising her girls, Shields was intentional about making them work summer jobs, she exclusively told Us in September 2020, noting that Rowan and Grier were proud to “get a paycheck every week.”

The Endless Love star added at the time: “This was their hard-earned money. And they realized how hard it was to get that check, that piece of paper. … At first, they just handed [the checks] to me and said, ‘Well, can you put this somewhere?’ And then it became, ‘OK, let’s show you how this works.’ There are baby steps.”

“My daughter, [Jolie, 5], saw the trailer where I kissed Ryan [McPartlin], and she looked at me, like, ‘Mommy!’” the One Tree Hill alum, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly of The Holiday Fix Up on Monday, November 8. “I was like, ‘It’s acting.’”

The Michigan native noted that the little one recently came home and told Kramer that she had a boyfriend. “I’m like, ‘You’re not even 6 yet. Calm down,’” the singer recalled.

As for Jolie’s 2-year-old brother, Jace, the actress said, “He’s cute. I don’t think he understands the TV thing yet, but every time we get into my car, he goes, ‘Play Mommy song.’ He loves my song ‘Voices.’ It’s been cute. He gets that aspect.”

Jace and his sister joined their mom on set in July in Connecticut, which she called an “incredible” experience.

“They were there for a lot of it, and it was great,” Kramer told Us. “I had my girlfriend there that helps watch the kids with me, and I was able to have them for a good two and a half weeks.”

The Dancing With the Stars alum added that the crew was kind to her children — even when Jace “threw a snowball at one of the writer’s computers.”

Kramer gushed, “It was fun. The greatest thing about Lifetime movies is that they’re family friendly.”

The songwriter shares Jolie and Jace with Caussin, 34. She filed for divorce from the former professional football player in April, citing “inappropriate marital conduct, irreconcilable differences and adultery.” Their split was finalized three months later.

Last month, the “I Got the Boy” singer exclusively told Us that coparenting with Caussin was “very hard.”

She explained, “I have no problem saying, like, the other day, I didn’t do it perfectly. I was upset and I was like, ‘I didn’t want this. I didn’t ask for this.’ My kids [were] crying for him. And I called, and let them obviously FaceTime, but I also was just like, ‘This is just so not fair,’ you know? Then I have to own it and be like, ‘I’m sorry, this is a hard situation.’”

Despite the breakup, Kramer has been keeping busy with her acting and music careers. While filming The Holiday Fix Up, which premieres on Lifetime Saturday, December 11, she maintained a “great working relationship” with McPartlin, 46.

“When we were looking at the [script] notes, it’d be like, ‘OK. That’s not real life,'” she told Us on Monday. “If Ryan said this to me, this is what I would say back to him. And if I said this to him, this is what Ryan would say back. We were really able to make it as organic as we can but still using the formula that everyone loves for those Lifetime movies.”

“OVER THE MOON EXCITED TO SHARE THE NEWS!” the Bachelor alum, 30, captioned an Instagram photo of herself and husband Adam Gottschalk smiling with ultrasound shots at the time. “Our Honeymoon baby will be here in January! I’ve loved you before you were in my womb!”

The California native, 31, added in a post of his own: “Beyond excited to announce our little baby into this world. Your Mom has already started to like Daddy’s food groups and I think that’s a great start. Cheers to fatherhood. Coming soon. January 2022.”

Three months later, the couple shared the sex of their baby-to-be with a Halloween-themed photo shoot. “OH BOY!!! Can’t wait to meet our little pumpkin. #24weeks,” the Shop Grey Suede boutique owner told her Instagram followers in October.

Gottschalk commented, “Boy dad mode activated.”

The couple tied the knot in May in Texas, two years after their engagement. The wedding ceremony was “replanned three times” due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We have options to elope, we have options to get married and cut down our guest list by, like, 150 people,” the Arkansas native exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2020. “I’m not doing that; I’m not uninviting people. So I told Adam by December of this year, if there is no end in sight, we’re just going to elope and get married by ourselves. In our house. And if there is a light at the end of the tunnel by December, then we’ll schedule this wedding for the fourth time.”

The pair met on season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2017, and Gates gushed about how “obsessed” she was with the Bachelorette alum in July 2018.

“I’m just really happy to be with him,” she said during a “The Morning Toast” appearance after moving in with him in Texas. “I really do feel, like, butterflies talking about him. He at first was, like, so obsessed with me, and now I’m so obsessed with him. I’m calling him from work, like, ‘When are you coming home? Are you home yet? Can you come home early?’”

Major milestone! Jerry Seinfeld and Jessica Seinfeld helped their daughter, Sascha, ring in her 21st birthday on Sunday, November 7.

“Our [angel] Sascha Seinfeld turns 21 today,” the Food Swings author, 50, captioned an Instagram slideshow at the time. “We had the best weekend celebrating this phenomenal human being, along with her friends, who love her almost as much as we do. She works hard, she plays hard and in between, makes life better for everyone in her orbit. I love you, Little Magic Girl. I am so proud to be your mom.”

The birthday girl commented on the social media upload: “Omg this caption. Falling out. Love you so much. Best night ever.”

Sascha went on to post more photos on her own account, writing, “Perfectly leguale [sic].”

Her parents’ celeb friends left her sweet comments, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Michelle Trachtenberg. “Happy birthday dear,” the Goop creator, 49, wrote, while the Gossip Girl alum, 36, added, “Oh hello gorgeous queen of the world, Mazel!” Julianne Moore wrote, “Happy birthday, Sascha!”

Jessica and Jerry, 67, are also the parents of sons Julian, 18, and Shepherd, 16. In June 2019, the Seinfeld alum exclusively told Us Weekly that their little ones are “decent human beings.”

The actor explained, “We’re not trying to beat them over the head that they have to give back. … The only way to really do it, we believe, is by doing it yourself and modeling it and hopefully they follow.”

The couple, who wed in 1999, “don’t over-parent,” Jessica told Us in October 2018.

“I think we’re pretty relaxed. They have to figure it out on their own,” Jerry chimed in at the time. “They have their little nastiness, and you know, they close themselves in their rooms and stuff. But you can just barge in and go, ‘OK. Out of the room, off the screen.’ You can push them around still.”

When Sascha began dating that same month, Jessica told Us she “love[d her daughter’s boyfriend] so much,” with her husband joking, “Yeah. It’s a shame he’s gonna have to go.”

In August of the following year, the pair sent Sascha to Duke University for her freshman year of college. “So many warm wishes and goodbyes sent our way from friends and family this morning before we left,” the Good+ Foundation creator told her Instagram followers in 2019. “Thank you! We feel tremendous gratitude for each and all.”

A long time coming! Seven years after adopting her daughter, Rosario Dawson clarified that the teenager’s name is Isabella and not Lola.

“When I adopted her, I didn’t put her name out. It wasn’t like I did a press release or anything, and I don’t know where it came from, but somebody decided that her name was Lola and then everyone just kept running with it,” the actress, 42, said on Parents magazine’s “We Are Family” podcast on Tuesday, November 9. “I was like, ‘I’m not correcting it because I don’t need everybody to know my kid’s name.’”

The New York native, who is dating and recently moved in with Cory Booker, explained that she decided to set the record straight because her daughter was growing frustrated with the mix-up.

“As she got older, she was like, ‘Mom, we go out places and people are like, “Lola, Lola,” and I don’t like this.’ So I had to finally tell everyone,” the Mandalorian star recalled. “So her name is Isabella. It’s not that far off. She’s named after my grandmother. My grandmother was Isabel. My mom’s Isabel Celeste. I’m Rosario Isabel.”

The producer adopted the then-preteen in 2014, exclusively telling Us Weekly four years later that she had always wanted to “adopt [an] older” child.

“I talked to a lot of social workers and stuff,” Dawson explained of the experience. “They say one of the most difficult things about adopting an older child is that you missed out on those younger years. For any parent that I speak to, they say it goes by [fast], but if you get your child at 11, it really does go like [that]. So it’s alarming. It’s like, ‘You’re eye-level with me. This is a lot.’”

On Tuesday, the Sin City star told the podcast hosts that Isabella’s birth mother had spoken to Isabella a “couple times early on” but had “disappeared again.”

Dawson added, “[Isabella] feels like an only child, but technically, she’s really not. … She’s got several siblings and [is] just really tak[ing] this time to really work on herself and her own trauma and her challenges because at some point, those other family members are going to be there. And it’s really important to be able to be open to that experience when it comes.”

The teen’s responsibility is “healing herself,” the Dopesick star went on to say. “These past couple of years, she’s taught me so much about transforming and developing the benefits of therapy and being really conscious and intentional about self-care and boundaries.”

Family of five! Shaunyl Benson gave birth to her and Criss Angel’s third child, a baby girl, via an emergency C-section on Friday, November 5, and the infant is recovering “well.”

“God gave us warrior children,” the actress, 30, told her Instagram followers on Monday, November 8. “Illusia Angelina is doing very well today. Her strength is mighty. I am so grateful and thankful to God almighty that she is here and she is alive. Thank you all for your love prayers and support.”

The social media upload came two days after Illusia made herInstagram debut. The little one arrived at 35 weeks and had “a long road ahead,” her mom wrote on Saturday, November 6, adding, “She is currently in the NICU and we are asking for all your prayers. … We have faith in God and we are feeling so positive and know she’s in great hands. Mommy is recovering well in hospital.”

Baby No. 3 was “unexpected” for the couple, Benson told her Instagram followers in July, sharing a video of herself telling her husband, 53, the news.

“I found out that I’m pregnant. Again,” the singer said in the footage. “I’ve taken three pregnancy tests and every single one is positive. It’s probably really early. Probably only, like, five weeks. … I’m pretty nervous to tell Christopher because another kid was not in the cards. … I’m so nervous I could, like, vomit.”

The escape artist thought that she was joking, asking, “You’re not pregnant. Seriously?”

The illusionist and Benson revealed their pregnancy news one month prior. “Plus one equals five,” the New York native captioned his June social media upload. “May every day be as special as today.”

He and the Aussie are also the parents of sons Johnny, 7, and Xristos, 2, who arrived in 2014 and 2019, respectively. When Benson told Johnny that he had another younger sibling on the way, he gasped and hugged her. “Oh, my God,” her eldest son whispered. “A sister, is it a sister? Let me feel.”

Johnny was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2015. While he went on to recover, he relapsed four years later.

“He got diagnosed with pediatric cancer before he was 2 years old, he’s been in treatment for over three years, he’s been in remission, but unfortunately he had a relapse and he’s going back into the hospital on Monday,” the former Angeldust frontman told TMZ in December 2019. “We’re partly out here in California because we [want to] take Johnny to Disney. I’m taking him to Universal [Studios] tomorrow.”

Angel and his wife have continued to document the little one’s treatment via social media throughout his cancer battle.

“This boy of ours is a superhero,” Benson gushed in a January Instagram post. “Over five years of treatment, thousands of pills, thousands of pokes and jabs, hundreds of procedures and not once in his entire life has he ever complained. He’s often said, ‘Ugh, not this again,’ but never ever has this boy ever said, ‘Why me!?’ When you’re a kid and you’ve stared death in its ugly face, fearlessness comes naturally.”

Jessica Graf is experiencing “emotional whiplash” after getting a false positive on a pregnancy test.

“Excited? So were we,” the Big Brother alum, 30, captioned a Monday, November 8, Instagram slideshow. “I woke up the morning after Halloween and realized I was a day late for my period and even though it was still so early I decided to take a pregnancy test and then went to change Carter. In the middle of me changing Carter’s poopy diaper, the Clear Blue digital read ‘Pregnant.’ I started laughing and crying all at the same time. Cody [Nickson] was on his way home and I was so excited to tell him that after six months of trying, we made a Disney baby!! For four days we were on cloud nine. We were going to welcome our third baby in July and we were blissfully making plans and even calling the baby by the names we had on the ready for the next little addition. Then day five happened.”

The Florida native went on to write that she found “blood in the toilet” and “broke down,” thinking that she had suffered a miscarriage.

“I took a Clear Blue Rapid Test and it showed a negative sign meaning ‘Not Pregnant’ and then called my doctor and told them everything that happened,” Graf told her followers. “They told me that chances are I experienced a false positive pregnancy test the first time because if I had miscarried my hormones would still be telling the test that I was pregnant, that it wouldn’t change that quickly. So we went from celebrating being pregnant to believing we lost the baby to finding out there never was a baby!”

While the Amazing Race alum felt “absolutely” glad that she hadn’t suffered a pregnancy loss, she was still “angry” with the conflicting test results.

“[It] feels like a cruel joke,” Graf explained. “I just haven’t felt like myself the last few days but now I just want to distract myself as much as possible to try to get back to normal but I do ask that you be kind in the comments.”

The former reality star, who shares daughters Maverick, 2, and Carter, 12 months, with Nickson, 36, concluded her slideshow with a photo of herself cradling her stomach with a smile while wearing black leggings and a pink top.

Bachelor’s Liz Sandoz shared her support on the social media upload, writing, “I’m so sorry Jessica! It’s so disheartening to get your hopes up and find out, it isn’t real. Thank you for sharing.”

Ryan Lochte’s wife, Kayla Rae Reid, added, “So so sorry. Just know in your heart Gods timing is always perfect so I hope that is comforting. I feel you mama. I just went through the same thing — told my whole family I was pregnant.”

Graf and Nickson wed in October 2018 in California, welcoming Maverick five months later. Carter was born in October 2020.

Bring it on, mom-shamers! Hilary Duff prepared for backlash after piercing her daughter Mae’s ears on Sunday, November 7.

“Yes! I pierced her ears today,” the Younger alum, 34, captioned an Instagram Story photo of the 7-month-old rocking tiny diamond studs. “Can’t wait for the internet to call me a child abuser … again. Lesss go.”

The former Disney Channel star had her eldest daughter Banks’ ears pierced in July 2019 when she was the same age. (The little one is now 3, celebrating her birthday last month.)

“She has enough hair for a pony. Oh and yes we pierced her ears,” the actress wrote via Instagram at the time.

The Texas native’s social media followers had mixed responses to the upload. “I can’t fathom why you would you think it’s OK to have your daughter’s ears pierced. Causing her a tremendous amount of pain and discomfort,” one troll wrote, while another user added, “Parents have been doing this for YEARS! It’s not painful and not a big deal so back off! Do what you will with your own child.”

The Lizzie McGuire alum shares her daughters with her husband, Matthew Koma. The “Metamorphosis” singer is also the mom of son Luca, 9, with her ex-husband, Mike Comrie.

The former couple split in 2014, and Hilary’s sister, Haylie Duff, exclusively told Us Weekly five years later that the former professional hockey player, 41, is “still very close” with their family.

“Mike is great,” the 7th Heaven alum, 36, said in April 2019. “I think it makes it easy for everybody to coparent or cofamily. Because at the end of the day, it’s about Luca and what’s best for him and we love Mike.”

The Napoleon Dynamite star has two children of her own — Ryan, 6, and Lulu, 3 — with Matt Rosenberg, and her little ones have a close bond with their cousins.

“We always wanted was to have our kids grow up together so when she had Luca, and I was nowhere near ready to have kids, we sort of were like, ‘Maybe we’re not going to have that happen?’” Haylie recalled at the time. “And then now this second time around, it’s been nice because they’re all really little still together.”

Hilary met Koma, 34, in 2015 while collaborating on Breathe In. Breathe Out. The pair dated on and off before getting engaged in May 2019, tying the knot in their Los Angeles home seven months later.

“We want a family,” the former Bachelor, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, November 5, while promoting his partnership with Rudi’s Rocky Mountain Bakery. “We’ll have kids some way, either biological or not biological. We will have a family. Just because she’s 26, I’m 32. If I had, like, an ideal timeline where I got to pick, it would be two years when we’d start thinking about it.”

The Bachelorette alum noted that he’ll be an “older father,” while his 26-year-old fiancée will “still be in her prime [and] super spry.”

The Indiana native “wants some years” with the University of Mississippi grad, he added. “We’ve obviously abstained from sex for three years, so we are off to a fast start on trying to start a family. I’m just excited to start to get to know her more, to connect with her more. At some point, it would be great, but I’m fairly selfish.”

As for how many, the former reality star told Us that “two to three [kids] would be awesome” since Clarke grew up with two brothers and he was an only child.

“Both of us have communicated the desire to consider adoption,” the “Almost Famous” podcast cohost said. “How many that would add to the equation, I don’t know yet, but it would be something we’ll probably start talking about even before biological kids because it’s a long process and you’ve got to put some work into it.”

The Bachelor Nation member previously told Us about the couple’s adoption plans in June 2020, saying, “That would be such gift to our family. I definitely am excited about the idea of adopting, so if that means that we have two adopted kids, if that means we have three adopted kids, if that means we have kids that are biologically ours, I don’t know yet, but we definitely want a family.”

He and the esthetician started dating in 2018, getting engaged two years later. The pair are set to wed on Saturday, November 13, in Tennessee.

The couple love connecting over meals and recipes, which Higgins is celebrating with his Rudi’s Rocky Mountain Bakery partnership. The Alone in Plain Sight author often makes a California Club with their bread, growing his own tomatoes and basil to have it fresh at home.

“I got into [gardening] probably about seven years ago,” the former ABC personality told Us on Friday. “My fiancée and I just got a new house, and I brought the garden with me.”

Mixed feelings! Reese Witherspoon is a big fan of people mistaking her for daughter Ava Philippe, but the 22-year-old is on the fence.

“She really rolls with it,” the actress, 45, told Gayle King in InStyle‘s December issue, published on Monday, November 8. “I’m sure it’s not easy looking exactly like your mother. We talk to Zoë Kravitz a lot. Because she and her mother, [Lisa Bonet], look exactly alike, so whenever Ava is frustrated, I go, ‘Call Zoë, text Zoë, she knows what to talk about.’ I mean, that’s another mother-daughter combo that’s like identical twins.”

The Morning Show star added, “I love being mistaken for her because it makes me feel so young. I’m so proud of her.”

The Big Little Lies alum went on to call Ava “so down-to-earth,” saying, “She wants to do great things in the world. She’s studying and learning and trying to find herself. It’s a big thing in life to try different things and figure out what is really your path.”

The Louisiana native welcomed Ava in 1999 with her then-husband, Ryan Phillippe, followed by son Deacon, now 18, four years later. She married Jim Toth three years after splitting from her Cruel Intentions costar, 47, and they share son Tennessee, 9.

The Oscar winner called her kids’ childhood “odd,” saying, “I didn’t grow up famous. [Ava’s] living an experience that I did not have, and so are my sons. We are lucky enough to have friends who grew up in Hollywood and can help give them advice on how to navigate.”

Despite the strong resemblance between the Whiskey in a Teacup author and her daughter, she told Fox 5 New York in September that she doesn’t want Ava to play her in a biopic.

“She’s not an actress,” the Golden Globe winner explained at the time. “She’s so happy with her life and I am just so enormously proud of her and the incredible, compassionate young woman she’s become. It’s very cool having adult children. You just can’t believe that they’re grown up. I could cry talking about her, I love her so much.”

The Legally Blonde star’s comments came three months after she described her evolving relationship with her eldest two children to Interview magazine.

“That makes me want to cry, the idea of having a long relationship with adult children,” the Hello Sunshine creator said in June. “I never expected the kind of relationship that I have with them, but it’s so rewarding to be able to have kids that you can process life with a little bit, and they help me understand the complexities of what it means to be a human now. So I’m really, really grateful that these little humans are in my life. Adult humans. I have two adult children now. It’s crazy.”

He volunteers as tribute! Nick Cannon responded to Saweetie’s Saturday, November 6, tweet about wanting children with some telling emojis.

When the “Icy Grl” rapper, 28, wrote, “I want some babies,” the Masked Singer host, 41, replied with four emojis, including a thinking face, a ninja, a laughing-crying face and a man raising his hand.

The California native’s fans subsequently trolled the father of seven. “We have this conversation every month. Please give it a rest,” one wrote, while another added, “Boy you got too many already.”

The Wild ‘N Out host shares twins Moroccan and Monroe, 10, with his ex-wife, Mariah Carey, as well as son Golden, 4, and daughter Powerful, 11 months, with Brittany Bell. In June, the actor welcomed twins Zion and Zillion, 4 months, with Abby De La Rosa and son Zen, also 4 months, with Alyssa Scott.

In August 2021, the former Nickelodeon star joked to Kevin Hart that he doesn’t know how many kids he has, saying, “I’m a dad to a whole bunch of motherf–kers. I don’t know that [number]. You’re gonna put me on the spot? It’s like Spades, I got eight and a possible nine. I like children, damn it!”

That same month, Cannon told Charlamagne Tha God that it wasn’t his “decision” to have such a big family. “Those women, all women, are the ones that open themselves up and say ‘I would like to allow this man in my world. And I will birth this child,’” the All That alum explained at the time. “I’m following suit.”

As for having more kids, Cannon later told TMZ that he wants to expand, “God willing.” Cannon added, “If God sees it that way, then that’s what I’m gonna keep doing.”

The comedian’s conversation with Saweetie comes two months after he told Entertainment Tonight that his therapist wanted him to be celibate. “I’m [gonna] take a break from having kids,” he explained in September.

In October, Cannon revealed during a “Drinks Champs” episode that he was officially celibate. “I’m going to see if I could make it to 2022,” he said, later adding on his own show that his “celibacy clock is ticking.​”

Abstaining from sex has allowed the Drumline star to be “a father first and foremost,” he told Dr. Laura Berman during the Nick Cannon Show episode. “I’m there, and I’m focused.”

Surprise! Willow Palin revealed on Sunday, November 7, that she is pregnant with her and husband Ricky Bailey‘s third child.

“Been keeping this guy a little bit of a secret,” the Alaska native, 27, captioned an Instagram video of her baby bump in a green dress. “One more week and we’ll be half way with our BOY.”

Her older sister, Bristol Palin, reposted the social media upload to her Instagram Story, gushing, “Can’t wait for my sis’ baby BOY.”

Bristol’s fellow MTV personality Kailyn Lowry sweetly congratulated Willow, telling the expectant star that “boys are so fun.” (The Teen Mom 2 star, 29, is the mother of four sons — Isaac, 11, Lincoln, 7, Lux, 4, and Creed, 15 months.)

Willow announced her first pregnancy in May 2019 with ultrasound photos. “[Bailey] and I are so excited to welcome TWO little babies into this world!” the then-mom-to-be told her Instagram followers. “Baby Bailey’s arriving December 2019.”

Her mom, Sarah Palin, commented at the time: “ECSTATIC AND BLESSED X2!” The Going Rogue author’s daughter Piper Palin wrote, “So excited for my sister and brother-in-law! TWO babies!!”

Piper, 20, threw Willow “the best” baby shower four months later. “Thank you to everyone else who showered these babies with love! #twinpregnancy #twingirls,” the pregnant star wrote via Instagram in September 2019.

Willow gave birth in November 2019, naming her infant daughters Banks and Blaise. “We are so in love with you girls,” she captioned the newborns’ Instagram debut. “11.17.19. Blaise Indi Mae 5.1 lbs. Banks Bianca Ann 5.0 lbs. Healthy, Beautiful girls!”

Motherhood is Willow’s “favorite thing,” she told her followers while celebrating Mother’s Day with the little ones in May, adding, “Happy Mother’s Day to all the hustling moms out there!”

She and Bailey got engaged in December 2017. The couple tied the knot in September of the following year in Alaska.

“Happy One Year to us @rickyb901!,” the cosmetologist captioned an Instagram tribute on their first anniversary in 2019. “This first year of marriage has been so amazing (and so dang busy), I can’t wait to add our beautiful baby girls into this life of ours. Thank you for always being my rock, my biggest supporter and my best friend. I love you more than words.”
