The couple has opened up before about their hopes to start a family since they got married in 2018. After a two-year fertility journey that included IUI and IVF treatments, they finally received the exciting news back in August. Linda is due in May 2022.

Lance Bass and his husband Michael Turchin are going to be dads—to twins!

The *NSYNC alum confirmed the happy news in an interview with PEOPLE . Bass revealed that they’re expecting boy-girl twins in early November.

The couple also shared that they’ve actually spent the past four years trying to build their family, through surrogacy, failed IVF treatments, and a miscarriage.

“We went through nine different egg donors, which is rare,” Turchin revealed to PEOPLE. “We picked a donor for some of them. We got all the way down the path of about to retrieve their eggs. Some just wouldn’t produce enough eggs, some weren’t good genetic matches. If you’re going to be a match, you don’t want to even risk it.”

Last year, their surrogate miscarried while being pregnant with twins.

“Because of what we’ve been through the last four years, we were very cautious to get excited,” Bass explained. “And it kind of sucks because when you find out you’re pregnant, you want to celebrate with your family. You start planning their future in your head already, but we were so scared because we didn’t want to go through the pain again of losing them. We told our friends and family about the ninth week, when we finally felt comfortable. You think you’re going to jinx it or something.”

We understand the mix of emotions that come with the journey to parenthood. We’re so happy for Bass and Turchin!

One year after losing her son, Kara Keough Bosworth is pregnant!

 

 

Last year, Kara Keough Bosworth suffered the unthinkable when her son McCoy died following a complicated birth . The former Real Housewives of Orange County star shared an emotional post revealing that her son had experienced shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord during his delivery.

Now one year later, Keough Bosworth is preparing to welcome her rainbow baby . The mama shared her news on Instagram on Easter Sunday. But first, she paid tribute to her late son.

“For Christians, for Jews, and for me, this time is a reminder of the death of firstborn sons. Sacrifice. Suffering. Mourning. Grief,” Keough Bosworth wrote . “Why is this night different than other nights? Last Easter was the worst night of my life. We held our firstborn son in our arms as he took his final breaths. We spent time in the hell that is watching your child die.”

The mother also shared that this Easter has been much, much better for her family, along with an explanation of how the holiday ties into her happy news as well. “Despite that wretched Easter night, I can’t ignore that this day also represents rebirth. Renewed hope,” she wrote. “It is said that the word ‘Easter’ is derived from the goddess Eostre. Eostre, the goddess of fertility, symbolizes the birth of new life and the dawn of spring.”

Keough Bosworth, who also has a daughter, Decker, included a photo of an Easter basket filled with Easter eggs, baby books, a stuffed animal and a rainbow onesie—surely a nod to the rainbow baby who is on the way.

“We miss you, Mack-a-doodle,” the mama wrote. “Thank you for sending us this sacred gift. You’re a big brother! Tell Grandpa that I said he was right. He’ll know what I mean.”

The last line is a nod to the mama’s father, who died just weeks after his grandson’s death. Last year was truly an unthinkably difficult one for Keough Bosworth and her family, and we hope this rainbow baby brings them some much-needed joy.

Lilliana Vazquez is expecting her first child!

 

 

E! host Lilliana Vazquez is pregnant after a long fertility struggle. The 40-year-old shared the news with fans on Instagram with a gorgeous beach bump photo.

Vazquez said that while she’s feeling overjoyed now, there was a lot of “pain and heartbreak” along the way. “Over the last six years y’all have been a part of my day-to-day story,” Vazquez wrote. “But there’s a part of my story missing. And it’s finally time to share more of that [with] you.”

She shared how battling infertility and undergoing IVF treatment made her feel hopeless at times, and each month that passed without a positive pregnancy test made her question her self-worth. At times, she was ready to give up. “Would I ever experience the joy [of] being a mother?” Vazquez wrote. “Could we be happy if life were just the two of us? Was I enough?”

Thankfully, with “Baby M” on the way, Vazquez and husband Patrick McGrath no longer have to ponder those painful questions.

Vazquez ended her announcement with a heartfelt message for others trying to get pregnant. “To all of you out there fighting for your family, you’re not alone. I see your pain, I feel every disappointment and I know what it’s like to suffer, often in silence, while you pretend that everything is ok,” she wrote. “Please know that I’m here to listen unconditionally and without judgment, whenever you’re ready to share your story.”

It’s time to have babies and chill,'” she said in a 2017 interview with Marie Claire U.K . “I wasn’t one of those ‘I need a baby!’ people until my goddaughter was born. I love her so much.

“We’re pregnant. I don’t have many words for this video. Life isn’t perfect. Sometimes it’s beat up and broken but it’s NEVER hopeless. God promises that.

Goulding revealed she’s 30 weeks along in a new interview with Vogue .

She says she found out she was pregnant shortly after the couple’s one-year wedding anniversary. It was a happy surprise for the pair.

“The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality. Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human.”

“I want a better word than ‘womanly,’ [but] I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it,” Goulding added.

In the interview, the singer also described the challenges she’s faced in her pregnancy so far.

“The sickness and tiredness was nothing I’d ever experienced before,” she said.

“I feel like it’s a taboo to talk about pregnancy as being challenging. It’s not always serene and like you’re not always glowing. I’m not saying that every second of this pregnancy has been miserable,” she clarified.

“It’s not always going to be easy. [But] I have a newfound respect for any woman who has children.”

We love how honest she is—and she’s so right! Pregnancy is hard and we don’t give women enough credit for all that they endure.

Congratulations to the parents-to-be!

“Then, after having my second child, I didn’t even have the energy to consider some of my former practices around the house!”

Aydin commented on the post, “Heart so full, I love you, sweetness.” Halsey replied, “I love you!!!!! And I love this mini human already!”

Halsey’s rainbow top and emojis may be a reference to her previous pregnancy loss.

In a 2018 interview on The Doctors , the singer revealed that shortly after finding out she was pregnant, she suffered a miscarriage during a performance.

“And before I could really figure out what that meant to me and what that meant for my future, for my career, for my life, for my relationship, the next thing I knew I was on stage miscarrying in the middle of my concert,” she said.

The singer also revealed that she had surgery to treat her endometriosis, a condition that she had struggled with for years.

The age gap between McPhee’s baby and their half-siblings is larger than most, but as Foster’s daughter Erin (age 38) previously told People, the age-gap in the McPhee-Foster marriage has been good for Foster’s grown kids.

“Interestingly, the age difference has played a role in a positive way,” Erin Foster previously told People . “Our dad comes from a generation where women are more passive. He is also passive about his feelings. Kat has really pushed him to open up. We could get into a fight, and then Kat’s like, ‘No, you have to pick up the phone, call your daughter back.’ She’s a facilitator, which is really important. She pushes him to be more emotional and more vulnerable.”

Ashley Tisdale is going to be a mama! ?

 

 

Ashley Tisdale dropped some huge news on Instagram—she’s pregnant!

The 35-year-old High School Musical actress and her husband Christopher French both posted a series of pregnancy photos to their accounts. Tisdale didn’t add a caption and just let her bump speak for itself.

Her former co-star Vanessa Hudgens was quick to comment, writing “Just the freaking cutest.”

Tisdale and French have been married since 2014 and have talked about wanting kids in the past but Tisdale says the constant questions about whether or when they would start a family were overwhelming.

“[After] I got engaged EVERYONE (and I mean everyone!) asked when I was getting married,” she wrote on her blog, Frenshe. “Then, once I was married, everyone was asking when I was having kids. To be honest, it just felt invasive. I wasn’t ready for that step yet and I wanted to be selfish and have Chris all to myself for a while.”

She continues: “[G]oing through my mental health journey, it wouldn’t have been the right timing for such a huge life change. I’m not naive about how a baby changes everything as I have a niece and plenty of friends with kids. I’m glad I worked on myself before we decided to make this decision. After six years of marriage, we built a strong foundation, and the timing just felt right.”

Tisdale says her first trimester hasn’t been easy but she’s looking forward to the rest of this journey and to sharing her family’s story on her own timeline.

Tisdale reminds the world that if, when or how a person chooses to start a family are personal questions and we never know someone else’s story.

It is important that I continue to take accountability for what I have said and done, while pushing myself to do better,” Schroeder wrote on Instagram. “I have grown significantly from the person I was then, and I am still filled with remorse and regret for the hurt I caused. I am grateful for the people in my life that continue to check me and push me to evolve into a more educated person.”
