Every morning — before she records a new episode of her “With Whit” podcast and works on new styles for her Cozeco loungewear brand — Port enjoys spending time with her 3-year-old, Sonny, who she shares with husband Tim Rosenman.

“If I am really on my mom game, Sonny and I will play some educational games,” the Hills: New Beginnings star exclusively says in the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now). “Pretty sure he’s extremely advanced.”

The two also “try to work out” together, the City alum adds, noting that she loves doing yoga with him.

As Port has previously mentioned, she has been wanting to expand her family for a very long time.

Just one month before revealing in January that she tragically suffered her second miscarriage, the TV personality exclusively told Us she wanted Sonny to have a younger sibling to interact with.

“It just feels like there’s someone missing,” she admitted. “He’s definitely in the phase where he wants a buddy. He wants to play. He wants to help. He wants to be involved. So, it would be a good age gap.”

While the first part of her day is jam-packed with mother-son activities, the second half is dedicated to business and focusing on herself.

According to Port, there’s nothing better than ending the day with a glass of wine. “As soon as the sun starts to set, I get in my sexiest PJs and start drinking,” she says.

“Exercise and movement is something that I depend on,” Alves, 39, exclusively tells Us Weekly, noting that she enjoys doing Pilates with her husband Matthew McConaughey’s 89-year-old mother, Kay, who lives with them. “[It] sets [me] into gear for the week.”

While managing her diet, the Women of Today blogger also likes to set a good example for her children: Levi, 12, Vida, 11, and Livingston, 8.

“One of my favorite things to do [is] cook,” says Alves, so she can “learn and share how to make better choices with small sustainable changes.”

So usually in the morning, “the kids ether make their own or help make breakfast,” she reveals. “It’s [crucial] that my family starts off the day right with a healthy and balanced [meal].”

For dinner, Alves always ensures she cooks with a veggie from her homegrown garden.

“I am a daughter of a farmer,” she explains, “so having my kids exposed to that relationship with Mother Nature and food is super important for me! They get to see the whole cycle from a seed to the table.”

When it comes to her daily self-care routine, Alves likes to take a few minutes out of her day to “focus on my beauty routine from the inside out.”

“I add Natural Vitality Calm to my tea, which relaxes me from the day and sets my mind for a good night’s sleep,” says the lifestyle guru. “I [also] take NeoCell’s Super Collagen Peptides to get my daily dose of collagen to boost my hair, skin and nails.”

In the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, the former Bachelor, 29, details how he’s been spending his time on the East Coast — and judging by the photos (see below), he looks like he’s having a blast!

According to the pilot, his days involve everything from taking walks in the park with his beloved dog, Tripp, and spending time with family and friends to working out and eating right.

Weber has also been keeping busy recording “Bachelors in the City,” a new podcast about dating in the Big Apple that he and his fellow Bachelorette costar Dustin Kendrick have been recording.

“When Dustin moved in with me here in the city a couple months ago … we thought, you know, it’d be kind of cool to share our experiences with our following and just talk about why we love the city so much,” the TV personality exclusively told Us on Friday, April 2, announcing the news. “This is a really fun city … there’s a good sense of optimism that you’re going to meet someone. And, you know, me personally, I’m not seriously dating at all, but just meeting people and having a good time and building my community. That’s what I’m doing right now.”

As Us previously reported, Weber initially planned to move to Manhattan with ex-girlfriend Kelley Flanagan before their December split. But since Kendrick also relocated, he’s been loving having him as a roommate.

“Honestly it was a blessing. I got super lucky,” he added. “Sometimes in life it’s just like, things happen for a reason. You don’t really see it in the moment, but obviously it was a tough time for me … I remember the first couple of weeks I was here, I was a little lonely in the apartment and didn’t know anyone, and it was completely unfurnished. I was like, ‘What am I going to do now?’ It was a tough moment, but I got through it and Dustin’s an amazing friend.”

Speaking to Us Weekly, the former athlete, 33, revealed that a typical day in her life involves doing everything from building her business brand to making time for herself.

Since officially retiring in February 2020, Sharapova — who had played tennis professionally for nearly 30 years — has been putting most of her focus on her candy company, Sugarpova, which she launched in 2012.

But when she’s not on Zoom calls or coming up with new flavors for the next line, the entrepreneur likes to practice all forms of self-care.

No matter what, Sharapova enjoys staying active. “My favorite way to start the day [is with] a quick stretch and a few core moves,” she says, noting that later on, she does a full workout too.

Taking care of her mental health is an important part of her daily routine as well. “Reading has been my meditation lately,” says the Russia native. “[It] is my go-to when working creatively.”

And while her first year of retirement was spent mostly indoors due to the coronavirus pandemic, Sharapova — who got engaged to longtime love, British businessman Alexander Gilkes, in December — was able to pursue other interests, such as art and architecture, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“There’s nothing I will know better [than tennis],” she said in an episode of Bethenny Frankel‘s “Just B” podcast in January. “But I’m also happy to put it aside, and say that this was an incredibly beautiful chapter of my life, and there are other things to come.”

Recently, the two were fortunate to team up together to record their new duet, “Window in the Wall.” To be able to work together “was special,” the Grease alum, 72, recently told Us Weekly. “This song was different because Chloe was singing in my genre and the last time we recorded together [in 2019] … I sang in her kind of younger genre and now she had to sing in a more different way. So we had a lot of fun doing it.”

Lattanzi, 35, however, found the process a bit more nerve-wracking than her beloved mom. “When we went into the studio for the first take, I was so nervous that I kind of broke down, and I said, ‘Mom, I’m so sorry, but I need you to leave’ … because I was so nervous to sing in front of her,” she chimed in, but at the end, “it was all smooth … the nerves went away.

And, like every parent-child relationship, there were times of bickering. “We disagree all the time on things,” Lattanzi chimed in. “I think … we’re very different artists, but … where we do really well is, when we sing together. I think that we push each other to do things that we wouldn’t normally do. And then thank each other afterward.”
