Hey, guys. How are you doing? I hope you are well. It’s been a while since I’ve written on my blog. There’s been a lot of stuff going on, so bear with me as I try to catch you up on what’s been happening.
Robert Pattinson And Fiancee Announce Baby Bump
It was announced recently that Robert Pattinson, the incredibly handsome and kind heartthrob from the Twilight franchise, and his fiancee, Emilia, are expecting their first child. The couple got engaged last May and began trying to conceive shortly thereafter. They were finally blessed with a baby boy last October, and they named him Lorenzo. He’s a little monster, weighing in at a whopping 10 pounds 8 ounces. (His birth certificate only lists his weight and length at birth, so he must have grown some more since then.)
Since welcoming their child, Robert and Emilia have been showing off their glowing baby cheeks and enjoying being parents. The proud parents-to-be frequently post photos of their son on social media. We’re definitely excited for this talented, classy couple.
Jennifer Lawrence Is Still Jennifer Lawrence
While we’re on the subject of pregnancy, let’s talk about another megastar who is still going strong 11 months after giving birth. Recently, Jennifer Lawrence announced that her baby daughter, Vivienne, is now 21 months old. The actress is also often seen in public with her little girl, who is absolutely stunning and has inherited her mother’s good looks. (At least, according to our books.)
Vivienne’s father is Indian-American actor and comedian Billy Ray. (He’s best known for his work in The Hotchkiss School series and on The Millers.) Vivienne has two older brothers from her father’s previous marriage. She also has a younger brother from her mother’s previous marriage. So, she’s basically royalty. (We would know – we’re friends with her mother, Kate.)
Since Jennifer’s parents were divorced when she was very young, she grew up primarily with her mother. (She actually got her hair done by the same hairstyle expert who did Princess Diana’s hair at the same salon where Kate and Emily got their hair done. Talk about in-demand hairdressers!) Although they both attended the same university – Harvard – they didn’t meet until after they graduated. (They have since become good friends.)
Since then, Jennifer has mostly kept to herself when it comes to her personal life. She did, however, share a couple of tidbits about her daughter on Instagram. She wrote, “At 21 months, Vivienne is still quite happy in baby slaps and kisses. She’s also quite interested in watching cartoons and asking people questions about Santa Claus. So, she’s pretty cool.”
Emily Blunt’s Film Career Isn’t Going To Bottleneck Her Social Life
Emily Blunt, the British actor who rose to fame in the Harry Potter films, is a renowned beauty. (She plays the beautiful and strong witch Hermione Granger.) However, her film career hasn’t exactly kept pace with her social life. She hasn’t been seen in public with any of her famous suitors, including Daniel Craig and Benedict Cumberbatch. (Maybe she’s saving them for later?)
Recently, Emily announced that she’s “retired” from acting. She made the statement on Instagram, along with a photo of herself in a glamorous black dress. She wrote, “I feel like I’ve been given a second chance, and I’m going to make the most of it. This photo was taken a while ago, and it was for a one-off event that I was asked to do. However, it just felt right. This is a girl who loves a good party, and I’m all for being happy and making the most of what life gives you. But I also need to concentrate on what I’m good at, and that’s acting. I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the best directors in the business, and now I get to share my adventures with you.”
Although she hasn’t been photographed with any of her famous suitors, Emily has been spotted canoodling with her co-star from Downton Abbey, Joanne Catherick. In an Instagram post from August 2017, Emily Blunt shared a photo of herself canoodling with a smiling Joanne. The two have been friends since they worked together on the 2011 movie The Beaver. They also share the same management team, and Catherick often tags Emily in her stories. (Instagram)
Olivia Olson Is Still Olivia Olson
While we’re on the subject of celebrity baby bumps, let’s not forget about Olivia Olson, the very pregnant lady who played Betsy Ross in the 2016 Broadway musical, 1776. Even though she gave birth to a baby girl in April, Olivia still shows off her large baby bump. She’s even doing interviews to promote the Broadway musical, while pregnant. (What else is she going to do? Sit at home and knit?)
What’s funny is that when Olivia wasn’t pregnant, she didn’t exactly exude motherhood. In fact, she frequently shared photos of herself in bikini’s and various beach clothes on social media. One would think that being a mother would change her life, but it hasn’t. Olivia continues to work, and she also continues to enjoy her life. (Instagram)
In the 2017 movie Dumplin’, directed by Anne Fletcher, Olivia Olson plays a character named Violet, a famous fashion designer who is engaged to a musician in his band. Even though she’s set to marry the man of her dreams, she finds herself having an affair with another man. (It’s definitely a story written by George.)
Victoria Beckham’s Style Evolution
It’s been a while since we last heard from Victoria Beckham. The fashion world lost one of its brightest stars when Victoria Beckham announced that she was stepping away from modeling to focus on her children. However, even though she hasn’t been seen in public for a couple of years, her creative director, Mark Beckham, has kept the fashion industry abreast of her latest projects and style evolution. (He frequently posts about his wife on Instagram.)
Since leaving the modeling industry, Victoria has focused on raising her children, designing clothing for them, and traveling the world with her husband. They have two sons together – Romeo and Cruz – and a daughter, Cruz, from Victoria’s previous marriage to football player Andrew “Schmidt” Beckham. (Instagram)
Kate Hudson’s Style Evolution
Kate Hudson has had an eventful 2018. The actress, producer, and designer has been romantically linked to musicians, including Pharrell Williams and Mark Ronson. (Rumor has it that she’s even planning on running for president in 2024.) She’s produced films and landed TV series like Sex and the City and Still Standing. She’s even designed a maternity wear collection for Nordstrom. (Even though she’s had to hide her pregnancy for much of the year, Kate still manages to make it to the red carpet for the premieres of the films in which she’s starred.)
However, it’s not all good news for Kate. She’s struggled with her weight her entire adult life. (She’s even collaborated with the Mayo Clinic to create a healthier lifestyle plan for her.) In 2018, she revealed that she’s undergone bariatric surgery. The weight loss procedure was completed in September, and Kate has since been enjoying her post-surgery life. (Instagram)
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Style Evolution
Gwyneth Paltrow’s style evolution has been somewhat of a hot topic amongst the fashion community. The actress has been open about her evolving style, often dressing in more youthful ensembles. In 2018, she began updating her style, dyeing her hair a rosy blonde and sported a variety of pastel colors. (She’s even been spotted in a white dress.)
What’s interesting about Gwyneth’s style evolution is that she’s been so open about it. (She frequently posts about her fashion choices on her blog. She also does video tutorials about fashion and lifestyle.) Even before she had children, Gwyneth made it clear that motherhood wouldn’t exactly “hijack” her style. In a 2016 interview with The New York Times, she said, “I want to be able to pull off vibrant colors and mix prints…I think children give you confidence. They give you courage to do things that you might not have done before.” (NYT)
