You think a fetus can derail UFC fighter Nina Ansaroff's MMA training!?!?!

Well, it can ... but Nina tells TMZ Sports she ain't exactly putting her career on hold when she gets pregnant with Amanda Nunes' baby.

Of course, Amanda ain't the only world-class fighter in the relationship -- 34-year-old Nina is the #5 ranked strawweight contender in the UFC. She's a killer.

But, with the two decided to expand their family in 2020 -- and Nina being the designated baby carrier -- we asked the two how it will affect her career in the Octagon.

"I’m taking a year off," Ansaroff says ... but when she returns, Nina says she plans on moving up a weight class and competing in the 125-lb flyweight division.

"I’m gonna be training throughout my pregnancy. I’m gonna stay in shape. I’m not gonna, ya know, just like not do anything and jump in."

Hope Solo Pregnant with Twins 'Mini Soccer Team On the Way'

Great news for Hope Solo ... the soccer superstar announced she's pregnant with twins --more than a year after she almost died during a tragic miscarriage.

"Miniature soccer team on the way," Solo announced while cohosting "BeIN Sports USA" with George D. Metellus ... "One boy and one girl."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Solo is married to ex-NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens.

Earlier this year, Solo revealed her struggled with fertility to Elle Magazine -- explaining how she had become pregnant in early 2018 ... but things did not go as planned.

A week after learning she had miscarried twins, Solo felt sick and in pain -- and was told one was ectopic (which means the pregnancy happens outside the uterus).

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Solo says she needed surgery to remove her fallopian tube and was told she was "hours from dying."

38-year-old Hope told Elle she began IVF treatment soon after -- and now she's preggo again!

No word on when the babies are due -- but Solo joked that when they're born, they could be the next big U.S. soccer stars.

Solo is the greatest female goalkeeper in Team USA soccer history -- and famously won the Golden Glove (given to the best goalkeeper) for the 2011 and 2015 World Cup.

Stevens was 1st round pick in the 2002 NFL Draft and played in the league for 9 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Bucs.

Kandi Burruss
WORKIN' TOGETHER
TMZ.com

Kandi Burruss is singing the praises of the woman who helped bring her new baby girl into the world -- and now she's opening up about her firsthand experience with surrogacy.

We got the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star out in Atlanta and asked what advice she'd give anyone thinking about using a surrogate. Of course, Kandi's second child ... a little girl named Blaze Tucker was born on November 22, and she couldn't say enough great things about their surrogate.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Check it out ... Kandi says counseling's a great start. And, not just because it was required, either. When she finally met her surrogate, Shadina Blunt, they built a solid relationship and bonded so much, they went to counseling together.

Kandi says she knows some parents opt to keep it strictly professional with surrogates -- but she explained why she and her husband, Todd Tucker, took a different approach with Shadina.

Watch the vid, she says it helped them in several ways. Besides the obvious one.

Chris Brown More Baby Pics Shows Off Aeko's Mug

Chris Brown thinks his newborn son is a chip off the old block ... and he can't help but share a bunch of new baby pics to prove it.

Breezy and his baby mama, Ammika Harris, posted some new shots of little Aeko Saturday -- just days after they revealed his tiny feet to the world following his November birth.

The most recent photos show off Aeko's face clear as day, and yes ... he's freakin' adorable. CB also posted a since-deleted side-by-side comparison of his own baby picture and his son ... which Chris believes are pretty dang close. He says Aeko "just stole my whole face."

Chris and Ammika also threw up photos of the two of them in the delivery room with baby Aeko, and they're touching. You see Chris and Ammika holding each other, as well as the kid. CB was clearly present for the birth, and seemed to have his ex's back the whole time.

It's their first child together -- Chris' second overall. He's got a daughter with Nia Guzman.

Aeko Catori Brown was born on November 20, 2019, with each parent writing cryptic messages on social media to confirm he'd come into the world healthy. While Chris and Ammika aren't together anymore, we've heard they've been getting along well.

Nothing brings two people closer together than a chubby bundle of joy, especially when they're as cute as this boy is here. If we hadn't said it already, congrats!!!

Chris Brown Here's My Son, Aeko Catori Brown!!!

Chris Brown just introduced the world to his new baby son ... Aeko Catori Brown.

CB posted the first pic of his and Ammika Harris' new son Wednesday on Instagram. He simply captioned it with his son's name. Ammika posted the same picture on her Instagram Story and captioned it, "Forever won't be enough with you."

As we reported back in November ... Chris welcomed his second child with his ex. At the time, both of them posted cryptic messages on social media alluding to the birth of their child.

Chris had posted a pic of himself smiling and looking down at something off-camera with the caption of the date ... 11-20-19. We now know he was proudly looking down at Aeko. Ammika had also alluded to the child's birth on her Instagram Story, writing ... "I was in love, when I first saw you."

This is CB and Ammika's first child together. It's Ammika's first child and CB's second child. He has a 5-year-old daughter named Royalty with Nia Guzman.

Ray J I'm Wearing My Wedding Ring Again ... But Wife's Still Mad At Me

STILL MAD ...
TMZ.com

Ray J is back to wearing his wedding band after briefly ditching it, but he still doesn't know if there's a chance of working things out with his wife after their fight and divorce threats.

We got Ray J leaving Chelsea Studios in New York City Wednesday, and asked how he's holding up now that Princess Love says she no longer wants to be married to him.

Ray says only God knows if there's a real shot at reconciliation with his pregnant wife. Remember, Princess claims he left her and their daughter "stranded" in Vegas after a heated argument.

The slight bit of good news is Ray is once again rocking his wedding ring.

As we first told you ... Ray J ditched his wedding ring before catching a flight Monday outta LAX. However, the fact he's wearing it again doesn't necessarily mean the couple's headed for a reconciliation.

Watch the clip ... he says Princess is still fuming, and his body language doesn't exactly exude confidence.

Jenna Dewan Holiday Shopping for Three ... With Everly & Baby Bump!!!

Jenna Dewan isn't letting her ever-growing baby bump -- or a bitter custody feud with Channing Tatum -- slow down her holiday shopping ... crowds be damned!

Jenna, just like most weekend shoppers, looked totally over it Saturday in L.A. ... of course, she was doing it with extra passengers. Not only is she expecting, but she had 6-year-old daughter Everly with her too.

Mother and daughter walked out of a clothing store with several bags full of gear, or gifts ... 'tis the season.

Everly took cover from the cold and rainy day under Jenna's coat ... as they made their way to their SUV.

The shopping trip had to be a welcome break for Jenna from what's become a nasty custody battle with Channing. As we first reported, the exes are going at it over their daughter's custody. Channing filed docs asking a judge to lay out a detailed schedule for who gets Everly, and for how long, over holidays, birthdays and work trips.

He also wants a schedule for FaceTime calls -- but sources tied to Jenna tell us she feels Channing is publicly grandstanding because she's already agreed to a schedule. Our Channing sources say it was necessary for the court to intervene because he and Jenna didn't agree on everything.

TFW mall crowds are actually an escape.

Ray J Denies Stranding Wife and Kid ... Expresses Frustration

Ray J is opening up about the recent drama with his pregnant wife -- he denies her claim he left her and their daughter "stranded," and expresses disappointment that she aired her grievances on social media ... of course, he's saying all this on social media.

As you know ... Princess Love recently blasted Ray J online, claiming he left her high and dry in Vegas and blocked her from calling. He also apparently blocked her on Instagram.

Ray J
FAMILY MATTERS

But, in a video posted to IG, Ray says he's confused about how he could have "stranded' her and their girl, Melody, if they never left the pad they were staying at in the first place.

He goes on to direct comments at Princess Love about it not being cool to take their argument to social media ... and says they need to embrace and love each other during the tough times, especially with another child arriving soon.

As for what sparked the debacle ... sources close to Ray J tell us he traveled to Vegas on a business trip and his wife and daughter came too, but while they were there some issues that had been building up exploded.

We're told they got into an argument over how much he's working with her being 8 1/2 months pregnant -- and he didn't want to deal with the fight so he left and got his own hotel room.

Ray J's adamant he didn't abandon his family or put Melody in harm's way ... and seems to suggest this is just a regular couples' fight that got overblown. We're told Ray wanted to give Princess some space and it got misconstrued.

In his video, he does manage to slip in an apology near the end ... and says the devil is trying to mess things up, but he's committed to not letting that happen.

To make it all even more confusing, though, he added in the caption ... "Love lost this time" with a broken heart emoji.

Halsey Not Preggo!!! ... Just Pancakes

UPDATE

6:17 AM PT -- 11/19 -- Halsey clarified the belly rub, letting everyone know it was just a stomach full of pancakes -- not a bun in the oven. She wrote, "Is it a boy? Is it a girl? It's pancakes."

UPDATE

Halsey's stirring the pregnancy pot with a hand gesture that could mean there's a bun in the oven ... or a bad meal just wasn't sitting right.

The singer was out Sunday with her boyfriend, Evan Peters, in Santa Monica -- where they both went in for a drawn-out rub of Halsey's belly, and they both seemed pretty happy about it. Toss in the fact she was wearing a baggy jumpsuit ... and ya get the rumor mill in full swing.

The couple went on to hit the beach, going into full-blown make-out sessions a few different times. They certainly look smitten after just a month or so of dating -- Halsey and Evan went public just this past October.

Prior to hooking up, Halsey was reportedly dating singer Yungblud as recently as this summer -- and before that, she was linked to Machine Gun Kelly and, of course, G-Eazy.

Evan was engaged to actress Emma Roberts for 3 years until breaking things off just a few months ago. He's mostly known as a regular on "American Horror Story," but he's been in a ton of stuff over the years ... including roles in the most recent 'X-Men' movies.

As for these suspicious belly rubs, we've reached out to Halsey's rep. So far, no word back.

Alex Morgan Gunning For 2020 Olympics Months After Having Baby!!!

Alex Morgan truly is a superhero ... the USA soccer superstar says she's still planning to play in the 2020 Olympics -- just months after she has her baby!!!

The 30-year-old striker announced last month she's having a baby girl with her husband, LA Galaxy stud Servando Carrasco ... and the due date is April 2020.

Of course, next year's summer Olympics are scheduled to kick off in Tokyo just weeks after that ... with opening ceremonies slated for July 24.

For all you non-math whizzes out there ... that's just about 3 months!!!

But, in an interview with USA TODAY Sports earlier this week ... Morgan says she's gunning to get back on the pitch with her American teammates despite that tiny time frame.

"After having a healthy baby, I want to get back with the national team and look forward to playing in Tokyo," Morgan said.

It's not exactly unprecedented ... her fellow Team USA squadmate, Sydney Leroux, returned to the field in September for her NWSL team just 3 months after she had her baby earlier this year.

In other sports, it's been done too ... remember, Mackenzie Dern straight-up fought in the UFC just 4 months after she gave birth!!

So, good luck repeating that feat, Alex ... the whole country's pullin' for ya!!!

UFC's Mackenzie Dern Set to Fight Saturday ... 4 Months After Giving Birth!!!

Mackenzie Dern
MAMA MAKES WEIGHT

Undefeated UFC star Mackenzie Dern just made weight and is set to fight on Saturday ... just 4 months after she gave birth to her first child!!!

We did the math (hey, numbers are hard) ... and it's only been 124 days since 26-year-old Mackenzie became a mom. She gave birth to her daughter, Moa, on June 9.

Think about that ... not only did Mack have to recover from the toll that pregnancy and delivery takes on your body, but then she began to train for a FISTFIGHT with a world class opponent almost immediately.

Dern -- who's 7-0 as a pro MMA fighter -- just hit the scales for the official weigh in for UFC Fight Night 161 in Tampa, Florida ... and came in at 115 lbs, a perfect number for her weight class.

Mackenzie -- who's known as one of the top female Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners -- is set to face Amanda Ribas, who did NOT give birth 4 months ago!

And, get this, according to Vegas odds ... Dern is still the slight betting favorite ... you have to put down $145 to win $100.

FYI, Mackenzie's baby daddy is Brazilian pro surfer Wesley Santos ... so that kid is gonna be freakishly athletic!!!

Good luck!!!

Too Short I Didn't Have Kid Before 53 'Cause Playa Life Was Too Good!!!

A CHANGED MAN
TMZ.com

Too Short's got an easy explanation for why he held off on becoming a father until now ... he was too busy pouring his time and energy into hooking up with ladies ... lots of 'em.

The legendary rapper was on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and wasn't the least bit shy about why he waited until the ripe age of 53 to become a father. Too Short point-blank says he was enjoying his celebrityhood and all the trappings that came with it.

Translation: He was too busy being daddy to be someone's dad.

Jenna Dewan & BF Steve Kazee Make Room for Bun in Oven ... We're House Hunting!!!

Jenna Dewan and her BF are in the market for new digs with their baby on the way.

Jenna and Steve Kazee were out Monday house hunting in the San Fernando Valley ... with Jenna's daughter -- with Channing Tatum -- Everly, also tagging along.

Jenna wore a rather loose jumpsuit ... so no sign of a baby bump. It's unclear how far along the actress is in her pregnancy.

Too Short I'm A First-Time Father ... At Age 53!!!

Too Short is leaving the player life behind ... and moving forward with fatherhood!!!

Sources close to the "I'm a Player" rapper tell TMZ ... Too Short is a proud father, welcoming his first child into the world at the tender age of 53, and he's been keeping the news under wraps until now.

Our sources say Too Short's girlfriend, Sue, gave birth to their daughter back in December ... and they named their baby girl Yani Shaw.

Too Short is wasting no time introducing his daughter to the spotlight from an early age ... we're told he's already been shooting a documentary with Ray J and his manager, David Weintraub, and the film's all about raising their little girls in Hollywood.

Tana Mongeau Kylie Gave Me Great Preggo Advice ... I'll Store It Away for Later

Tana Mongeau
I'M DRUNK, NOT PREGNANT
TMZ.com

Tana Mongeau says Kylie Jenner imparted some useful words of wisdom on the journey of pregnancy -- which, apparently, won't be put to good use anytime soon.

The YouTuber was leaving Poppy Monday night in WeHo, where our camera guy asked if KJ was able to offer some knowledge on managing the preggo life. As it turns out ... she did!!! But, unfortunately, it's not gonna benefit Tana for the time being -- especially considering the state we caught her in here ... drunk as a skunk.

Her words, not ours.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Some quick backstory ... Tana posted a photo of her and Kylie last week, saying the KarJenner gave her pregnancy advice -- which was the latest troll move between her and her "husband," Jake Paul. There's a big dispute over whether Tana's pregnant or not.

You'll recall ... Tana pulled a big preggo-scare prank on Jake about a month ago, which she documented on her YouTube channel. Based on his reaction to her baby news, it sure seemed like he bought it at the time. Looks like he's trying to get her back for that.

Speaking of her relationship with Jake -- AKA, their not-legal marriage -- we picked Tana's brain about that too. Specifically ... how the not-living together was going.

Check it out ... she says it's going swimmingly. And, not for the reason you might think either.

Dennis Rodman Madonna Offered Me $20 Million ... To Knock Her Up

Dennis Rodman says his relationship with Madonna could have been a lot richer for him ... if he could have only gotten her pregnant, 'cause the "Material Girl" offered him $20 million for a baby.

The Worm sat down on "The Breakfast Club" with Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee when the talk turned to his mid-90's relationship with Madonna.

That's when Dennis dropped the bombshell, saying that Madonna was so hard up to have his baby at the time, that she was willing to shell out BIG CASH for progeny.

"She asked me that if I got her pregnant she'd pay me $20 million."

Rodman says there was only one catch, and that was that the baby had to be born for him to collect the loot. Here's the thing though, it doesn't seem like Dennis is kidding around here.

It didn't stop there, Rodman says he doesn't think he's the only guy Madonna made the offer to, claiming that her pregnancy -- and child -- with Miami trainer Carlos Leon might've been a similar arrangement.

Hey, if you got the money ...
