Baby Watch

Jamie Lynn Spears says she went through hell when pregnant at 16, and her parents and team were a driving force behind her misery ... pushing adoption, abortion and going to great lengths to hide her from the public.

We've obtained several snippets from Spears' upcoming book "Things I Should Have Said" where she lays out the events that followed her telling her parents and management she was pregnant in 2007.

In one passage, Spears says people from her inner circle, "... came to my room trying to convince me that having a baby at this point in my life was a terrible idea … 'It will kill your career. You are just too young. You don’t know what you’re doing. There are pills you can take. We can help you take care of this problem … I know a doctor,'" adding, "everyone around me just wanted to make this 'issue' disappear."

Jamie Lynn says flatly, "...everyone was certain that termination would be the best course of action."

Spears says her phone was taken away to stop her from communicating with people outside her immediate circle ... the goal being to keep everything on the down-low.

Jamie Lynn claims she wasn't even allowed to tell Britney she was pregnant, saying, "I needed her more than ever and she wasn’t able to help me in my most vulnerable time … To this day, the hurt of not being able to tell my sister myself still lingers.”

At one point, Jamie Lynn says she and her dad Jamie got into a fight over the unborn baby, "slinging words and tossing insults" when he pushed adoption.

Spears says eventually her team made an exclusive agreement with OK! Magazine to break the pregnancy story, and give them the first images of Jamie Lynn's baby.

Jamie Lynn says she and her mom went to some cabin in where she thought was Connecticut to hide until the article came out. The two spent Thanksgiving there together, where "Momma wore her disappointment like her favorite jacket."

Jamie Lynn has come under a lot of heat lately from Britney fans who feel she's taking advantage of Britney's current situation to make a buck off the book, but if the snippets we've obtained are any indication ... she's also got a lot to say about how she was raised and her parent's tactics.

The book comes out January 18, 2022.

We talked about it on the latest episode of the TMZ podcast.

Lil Yachty's celebrating a major life milestone -- and likely losing sleep -- because he's on daddy duty now!!!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the "Yacht Club" rapper is father to a baby girl who was born in the last couple weeks in New York City.

We're told Lil Yachty is in the Big Apple right now, where he's spending some time with the child.

It's unclear who the mom is ... to us, anyway. Obviously, Yachty knows, but he has had a few different girlfriends recently. Stay tuned.

We reached out to his reps, but so far ... no word back.

Ronda Rousey is now officially Momma Rousey ... the former WWE superstar just announced her baby daughter is finally here!!!

Rousey revealed the birth on her Instagram page late Monday evening ... saying in the caption, "La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō Browne❤️."

The two pics Rousey shared to bring the good news to her fans were adorable, with one featuring the baby's hand over Ronda's heart and the other showing the baby's hand on the chest of her hubby, Travis Browne.

The child is Browne and Rousey's first ... and it's clearly safe to assume they're pumped over the birth -- given how excited they've been throughout the whole babymaking process.

You'll recall, 34-year-old Rousey left the WWE in 2019 to try to start a family with Browne ... and back in April, she and Travis shared the good news of their pregnancy.

Just a few months later, the couple also revealed the gender of the baby with a funny Pokemon-themed vid.

No word yet if the birth means Rousey is one step closer to making a WWE comeback -- but we're betting she'll be pretty content being Mom for now.

Anderson Cooper is one helluva story teller, but no one could expect this "bat s**t" crazy story -- his famous, and clearly eccentric, mom desperately wanted to be the surrogate who birthed his child ... AKA her grandchild!!!

The CNN anchor was talking about his late mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, Thursday night on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" when he revealed that in 2009 -- when she was 85 years old -- she claimed a gynecologist told her she could still carry a child.

Anderson says he was initially concerned Gloria wanted to have a child on her own, but Gloria put him at ease (not at all, really) when she explained ..."I'm not talking about having a child of my own. I mean, that's crazy. I was thinking, you get an egg and fertilize it with a sperm, and I"ll carry your child."

Oedipus say what?!?! 😲

Goes without saying ... Anderson said he was beyond stunned at Gloria's offer, and he made some jokes about the whole ordeal -- but adds, his mom didn't give up on the outlandish idea. He says 2 years later she made one last-ditch effort, and even brought him a newspaper article to support her theory.

Gloria, the famous jeans designer and member of the affluent Vanderbilt family, died in 2019. She was 95.

Here's some news that might be a punch in the gut to fans of Justin and Hailey Bieber hoping they were expecting their first child -- they're not.

As you may have heard ... the Biebs sparked major pregnancy rumors this week when he placed his hand on Hailey's tummy -- albeit just for a second -- as the couple was posing for pics at the Met Gala.

This of course led to Internet sleuthing and speculation Hailey's expecting and this was JB's way of announcing it, but sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... she's not pregnant, and it was just an innocent pose.

We're told the couple's appearance at the star-studded event was a first for them, and it served a dual purpose -- they were also there celebrating their wedding anniversary.

TMZ broke the story, Justin and Hailey wed at a courthouse in 2018, and had a blowout wedding in South Carolina in 2019, and while they're going strong ... our sources say there's no baby Bieber on the way just yet.

Kendall Jenner says she found out about Kylie's pregnancy the old school way ... with a phone call.

The model/entrepreneur told Jimmy Fallon on the 'Tonight Show' Kylie simply called her and showed her a picture of her sonogram. Kendall said she wasn't really all that shocked at the news but definitely was excited for her.

As you know by now ... Kylie confirmed baby No. 2 is on the way with a video documenting the first stages of her pregnancy. She posted the video on social media and it showed her going to the doctor with Stormi to get an ultrasound.

The video also showed the moment she delivered the news to her mom, Kris Jenner. Ever since the announcement ... Kylie, who was cooped up pretty much the entire time before making the big announcement, has not stopped showing off her baby bump.

Kendall, who also talked a bit about her tequila brand, shared some scoop on her NBA star BF Devin Booker's relationship with the fam. Kendall says he and Stormi have a special bond that actually makes her kinda jealous.

Kylie Jenner certainly isn't trying to hide her pregnancy the second time around. And, there's not much else she's hiding!

Kylie, who made the trip to NYC for Fashion Week, hit the town Thursday wearing a black sheer bodysuit with a lace design. It's the second time in as many days we've seen the 24-year-old showing off the growing evidence of baby #2.

If Kylie's outfit looks familiar, it's because Kim Kardashian wore something similar in 2015 at the LACMA Film + Art Gala in L.A. ... when she was pregnant with Saint.

Kylie announced earlier this week she and Travis Scott were expecting. She posted of video of her showing Travis her pregnancy test. You also see Kyle and Travis make a trip to the obstetrician. And, you see Stormi surprising Kris Jenner with ultrasound pics.

Kylie Jenner's still in the early stages of her second pregnancy, but it already seems like she'll be a lot less private this time around ... because she's out flaunting her bun in the oven.

Kylie publicly debuted her new baby bump Wednesday night as she stepped out in NYC in a short, form-fitting white dress and a duster ... a fitting look to attend New York Fashion Week.

Of course, she also posted several photos of herself getting ready to go out ... prompting all sorts of "hot mama"-type comments.

As we reported ... Kylie officially announced she's expecting her second child with Travis Scott the other day with a short video documenting the first stages of her pregnancy.

The vid included a trip to the doctor with their daughter, Stormi, to get an ultrasound, as well as the moment she delivered the news to her mom, Kris Jenner.

Jennifer Lawrence is about to become a mom for the first time ... she's expecting a baby with husband Cooke Maroney.

A rep for the actress tells TMZ the actress is pregnant, though it's currently unclear when she's due or if she's going to have a boy or girl. The 31-year-old and her art dealer husband Cooke Maroney have been spotted around NYC in recent weeks sparking pregnancy rumors.

Jennifer and Cooke got hitched in October 2019 in Rhode Island in a fairly small ceremony ... celeb guests reportedly included Kris Jenner, Emma Stone, Adele and Amy Schumer.

Lawrence is set to star in the highly-anticipated "Don't Look Up" with Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep and Timothee Chalamet, expected to be released later this year. TMZ broke the story, Jennifer suffered an injury to her eye when it was cut by glass on set of the film earlier this year ... but made a full recovery.

Baby Maroney will be the first child for both Jennifer and 37-year-old Maroney.

Nick Cannon isn't pumping the brakes on expanding his fam, in fact, he's open to having more kids -- but adds the final decision is really up to a higher power.

We got Nick and Jim Jones Tuesday in Harlem and our photog asked Nick if he's going to stop having kids now that he's had 7, including his son Zen and twins Zion and Zillion earlier this year.

Nick says he's got no problem welcoming more kids into the world, as long as it's part of God's plan. Basically, if it's God's will ... he'll keep fathering as many children as possible.

We also asked Nick the secret to being prodigious, seeing as he's an expert in that area, and his answer is pretty short and sweet. Nick's definitely got some swimmers -- and he also jokes about opening his own "Cannon Sperm Bank."

John Mulaney said it himself ... he's had one helluva year, with an impending addition of baby, courtesy of GF Olivia Munn.

The comedian dropped the news Tuesday night during an appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" ... telling his close buddy/host what a crazy a year he's had. But, before dropping the big news about baby No. 1 ... John peeled back some serious layers.

He said, "I packed a lot into this (year) ... is it September now? Since last September, I went to rehab in September, okay, I got out in October, I move out of my home from my ex-wife [Anna Marie Tendler]. I host 'Saturday Night Live' on Halloween. I relapse on drugs."

John also revealed how Seth and some other closed friends staged an intervention ... leading to him going back to rehab for 2 more months. He got out in February.

John, who said he initially met Olivia at Seth's wedding in 2013, said his relationship with Olivia's really beautiful and that she's "dealt with the non-coked up Bambi version of me."

He added, "And that's been very incredible, and she's kind of held my hand through that hell, and we’re having a baby together."

As we reported ... John filed for divorce from Anna Marie back in July. He started dating Olivia in May. This is John and Olivia's first child.

Kylie Jenner just officially announced she's expecting her second child with Travis Scott ... with a video documenting the first stages of her pregnancy.

Kylie posted the super sweet video Tuesday on social media, and it shows her going to the doctor with her daughter, Stormi, to get an ultrasound, as well as the moment she delivers the news to Kris Jenner, with KJ sayings it's one of the happiest days of her life.

There's a ton of other wholesome family moments in Kylie's footage ... including an intimate candlelit birthday dinner with friends and fam, plus a sonogram where Kylie and Stormi see the baby's heartbeat.

Kylie famously spent her first pregnancy in hiding, staying cooped up inside her home, and she's already being much more open the second time around.

She posted a similar video documenting her pregnancy with Stormi, but that was released only after Stormi was born.

Cardi B's baby No. 2 is finally here!!!

Cardi gave birth to her baby Saturday at a hospital in the New York area. She posted a photo of the special moment with Offset in the hospital. She also added the blue heart emoji so ... baby boy?!?

As we reported ... the "I Like It" rapper made the surprise announcement in June during a performance at the BET Awards. Cardi performed alongside Offset and the rest of Migos ... showing off a revealing outfit 'cause you could definitely see her massive baby bump.

Cardi later confirmed the news on Twitter with an elegant photo shoot that showed off her baby bump. Up until that point ... Cardi B had been laying low ... and the surprise announcement was the reason why.

This, of course, is Cardi and Offset's second baby. Cardi gave birth to Kulture ... who is 3 years old. After the huge announcement at the BET Awards ... we got Cardi and Offset at the after-party and asked them a ton of questions about baby No. 2.

Cardi and Offset kept their lips sealed on just about everything ... but they did reveal Kulture's absolutely ECSTATIC about being a big sis.

CONGRATS!!!

Cardi B's not the only one with major baby news today ... Kodak Black's having another kid as well!!!

The Florida rapper's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, tells TMZ ... Kodak's girlfriend, real estate agent Maranda Johnson, is pregnant with their first child together ... and it's a girl!!!

We're told KB's known Maranda for about 4 years and they've been dating, and decided they wanted to have a child. Cohen says the couple conceived around April, so the baby girl's expected either late 2021 or early 2022.

Kodak has a 6-year-old son, King, from a prior relationship, and we're told he's ecstatic his second kid's a girl and can't wait to spoil his daughter.

Pete Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten, are brand new parents ... with a couple bundles of joy they just introduced to the world this weekend.

President Biden's Transportation Secretary made the announcement Saturday, writing ... "Chasten and I are beyond thankful for all the kind wishes since first sharing the news that we’re becoming parents. We are delighted to welcome Penelope Rose and Joseph August Buttigieg to our family." He attached a photo of him and Chasten holding their kids.

The siblings are wrapped in blankets, while Chasten and Pete look at each other in a hospital bed. Presumably, these newborns are adopted -- it's no secret the couple have been trying to undertake the process for a good while ... and now, they're at the finish line.

Looks like their children might be twins ... but it's not entirely clear if they adopted from one birth parent or two. The babies are also about a month old now -- Pete first broke the news of their arrival back in mid-August, and this is the first time he's shared a pic.

He wrote at the time, "For some time, Chasten and I have wanted to grow our family. We're overjoyed to share that we've become parents! The process isn't done yet and we're thankful for the love, support, and respect for our privacy that has been offered to us."

Some quick thinking by U.S. military pilots may have saved the life of an Afghan woman and her newborn after the woman went into labor mid-flight during an evacuation mission.

The C-17 was headed to a U.S. base in Ramstein, Germany -- where many evacuees have been taken -- when the woman went into labor and began having complications.

The pilots made a decision to descend to a lower altitude, which in turn, increased the plane's cabin pressure and helped stabilize the woman, and according to U.S. Air Mobility Command, saved her life.

Once the plane landed, Airmen from the 86th MDG boarded and helped the woman deliver a baby girl in the cargo bay of the C-17.

Photos taken on the runway show the new mother on a stretcher surrounded by troops.
