Vanessa Hudgens Preggo with First Child ... Shows Off Baby Bump at Oscars!!!

Vanessa Hudgens is pregnant, and she let the world know in the biggest way possible -- showing up to the Oscars ... with a big ol' baby bump in tow!

The actress is one of the hosts on the red carpet Sunday at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood -- where the ceremony will be going down later today -- and before all the stars arrived to take their own pictures ... Vanessa made sure to steal the spotlight with shots of her own.

She had a very good reason, too ... clearly, Vanessa is expecting a child -- and this is the first time anyone's hearing about it publicly. On its face, it seems she's fairly far along.

Of course, this is major news ... seeing how this would be VH's first child, and ditto for her husband, Cole Tucker. Remember, they just got married a few months ago down in Mexico ... and now, they're having a kid together in record time. No time like the present, right?!

Cole and Vanessa have been together as a couple since 2020 ... after she broke things off with her longtime boyfriend, Austin Butler -- with whom she'd been with for many years.

Vanessa and Cole were two peas in a pod ... she said she knew he was the one right away.

While she's clearly happy with her hubby ... the topic of her relationship with Austin has come up quite a bit lately -- especially with him being launched into superstardom through all these movies he's been in the past couple years, including 'Elvis.'

Vanessa just said last week she's happy her split with Austin led her to Cole -- and Austin, meanwhile, has said he valued his time with Vanessa ... and still respected/cared about her.

Austin himself is not scheduled to be at today's Oscars ceremony -- although, he has been out and about for Oscars-related parties this weekend.

So, he might be around somewhere later tonight as well. Ya gotta wonder how he might feel about this big development.

Anyhoo ... congrats!!!

Deion Sanders Daughter Pregnant With Jacquees' Baby ... Grandpa Prime Time Incoming!!!

Deion Sanders is on his way to being a grandpa ... his eldest daughter, Deiondra, just revealed she's pregnant with R&B singer Jacquees' baby!

The 31-year-old called the pregnancy "a miracle" when she announced the news on Friday morning ... explaining that doctors had told her for years it would be difficult to have a baby due to a myriad of health issues she's undergone throughout her life.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

"I never thought I'd be here but here we are," Deiondra wrote on her Instagram page. "I'm having this baby to give hope to all the other women that may be in my situation. No matter what Doctor’s say, GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY!"

"The miracle growing in me is not just a coincidence but a divine blessing."

Jacquees, too, was thrilled to announce their bundle of joy had been conceived ... writing on his IG page that all of this is "My definition of real LOVE."

Coach Prime weighed in as well ... saying he's excited to be a granddad, even if he believes he's still a bit too young for the title.

"I Love u baby," the Colorado Buffaloes head coach said, "and I'm glad u said u ain't having a baby to keep a man."

"You've always had a MAN in your life that u call DADDY & ain't gon ever ever let u DOWN especially when I'm UP."

Deiondra is Deion's oldest child who he had with his first wife, Carolyn Chambers. The NFL legend has four other kids, two of whom he currently coaches in Boulder.

Chloe Bailey Keeping Halle's Preggo Secret Was Easy!!!

I Feel Great
TMZ.com

Chloe and Halle Bailey have a bond that can't be broken -- which is probably why the older sibling here says it was no issue keeping her little sister's pregnancy a secret.

We caught up with sister duo at Essence mag's pre-Oscar gala on Thursday -- and Halle couldn't help but blush and gush about her newborn baby boy Halo, whom she shares with boyfriend DDG ... who was enjoying fatherhood as we spoke with Mama Bear.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

Just check out the video DDG threw up recently ... showing him goofing around with the kid.

Anyway, back to Halle -- our photog asked if Halle's musical talents have transferred over to the baby just yet ... and based on her reaction, it sounds like it might be too early to tell.

So, instead ... we lobbed her a softball, asking how motherhood was going -- and HB told us it was great. Chloe, however, gave us a little more insight into her sister's pregnancy ... which sorta flew under the radar (although, not really).

Nonetheless, we asked Chloe if was difficult keeping everything under wraps for Halle -- and she told us it was actually a breeze. Halle herself addressed this as well during her remarks at the event ... and said she had no obligation to share her pregnancy with the world.

DDG echoed her sentiments to us recently -- saying he didn't cave to social media pressure nor did he feel the need to. Good on them.

Kodak Black Delivery Room Daddy ... Matches 'Fits With Baby Boy!!!

Kodak Black helped deliver his newborn son last week -- and made sure the little guy was freshly dressed for his world debut!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained the first photo of Kodak's newborn son, who he and his girlfriend Maranda Johnson named Prince Kapri.

Kodak tells us … "I'm happy to be home with my family and my new son. It was very special to help deliver a new soul into the world. I know he's going to be a special person."

Prince was born on February 27 and the newly minted father/son duo captured a stylish photo-op for the birthday -- Kodak was decked out in a baby blue t-shirt and jeans, and Prince was wrapped in a baby blanket and cap with matching colors.

Prince's arrival makes him Kodak's 4th kid -- his 2nd with Maranda, and the "Super Gremlin" rapper is approaching parenthood with flair.

Just take a look at the blinged-out pacifier he had dangling around his neck ... that's gotta be worth a lifetime supply of diapers!!!

Prince's birth capped off a whirlwind past few weeks for Kodak ... as we reported, he was sprung from jail without mandatory supervision, and now only has to worry about running to that baby monitor!!!

Cam Newton GF Jasmin Brown ... Welcome New Baby!

Cam Newton is officially a father of 8 ... his girlfriend, comedian Jasmin Brown, recently had a baby, revealing the amazing news in a funny video on Instagram!!!

It's unclear exactly when Brown -- famously known as 'Watch Jazzy' -- gave birth to their bundle of joy ... but the baby's here now, and mom had a question for her fellow mothers.

"How long we gotta wear these diapers for?" Brown asked. "The s*** is annoying! I wanna wear a thong!"

That's when you see 34-year-old Brown talking to her baby as the child makes noises off-camera.

"You want me to wear a diaper 'cause you have on a diaper?!" Brown said. "Okay, we'll be diaper twins"

"You don't want mommy in a thong, I get it. My baby don't want me to wear no thong!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The video comes just weeks after Newton and Brown's glamorous baby shower ... where they partied with family and friends to celebrate her first pregnancy.

"What excites me the most about motherhood is the fact that I get to go hard for a person that I’ll love with all my life," Brown said.

"I’m excited to pour all this love I have into my child. I think becoming a mom will honestly complete me. I am truly overjoyed."

Newton -- who last played for the Carolina Panthers in 2021 -- has seven other kids, including two stepchildren.

Congratulations are in order for Dak Prescott -- the Dallas Cowboys' star quarterback and his girlfriend just welcomed their first child together ... their daughter, baby MJ!!

The three-time Pro Bowler announced the exciting news with reporters on Monday ... saying mama and the baby are both happy and healthy.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Prescott revealed baby MJ was born on Thursday ... which, of course, means her birthday falls on leap day!!

#4 has already taken on some important responsibilities in fatherhood ... confirming he's taken on diaper duty, but admitted he's hoping to hand off those duties from time to time.

Dak also got real about fatherhood ... saying seeing the baby every morning helped him understand the fact that he wants to do whatever he can to make sure she is taken care of.

Dak and Sarah Jane revealed back in November they were expecting their first child together ... and he explained at the time he was especially excited to have a girl.

The couple hasn't revealed what MJ stands for just yet ... but we're sure that'll come in due time.

TLC's CHILLI A GRANDMA AT 53!! Son Welcomes Baby Girl

Chilli is officially a grandma at 53 'cause her son, Tron Austin, has just welcomed his first child with his wife, Jeong Ah Wang!

Tron -- whom the TLC singer shares with her ex, Dallas Austin -- made the big announcement Saturday ... sharing a sweet IG snap of his newborn daughter and his wife, right from the hospital in Seoul, South Korea.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

He wrote ... "On this day March 2nd, 2024 at 1:59pm 6.173 LBS/2.8kg an angel from heaven was born our beautiful daughter LUA婁娥) we are officially parents!!"

Tron also shared that Jeong had to undergo an emergency C-section a few days earlier than her expected due date, sending their anxiety levels through the roof. But he gushed that despite the challenges ... his wife courageously powered through to bring their healthy and beautiful baby girl into the world.

Tron and Jeong shared their pregnancy news back in September, revealing they'd been on quite the fertility journey to get to this point ... and now, you can tell they're proud parents.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Jeong went through a laundry list of procedures -- two HSG procedures, a hysteroscopy, having both her tubes and scar tissue removed from hernia and appendicitis surgeries, one egg retrieval and a heartbreaking miscarriage. The hardships were clearly worth it in the end!

As of right now, Tron's mama Chilli hasn't said anything publicly about her granddaughter just yet, but she's probably soaking up every moment with her newest family member.

Congrats!

CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup Baby Sips From Hard Seltzer Can ... Red, White and Booze!!!

A youngster at the USA vs. Colombia CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup matchup apparently needed something stronger than milk ... 'cause the baby was spotted adorably trying to drink a Truly hard seltzer!!

The hilarious moment was caught on the CBS Sports broadcast on Sunday ... showing a dad and his kid soaking in the 3-0 win for the Red, White and Blue in the 73rd minute of the contest.

All eyes were on what was in the little one's hands ... which appeared to be a wild berry Truly (which contains 5% alcohol).

But judging by the fact the kiddo was able to pull the can up to its lips, we're assuming the thing was empty ... so no need to destroy the kid's future with an underage.

Even though the baby was probably teething, some folks thought it was a bad look to let it even hold the can in the first place ... while others felt it was the perfect visual representation of 'Merica.

As for the game, the USWNT won the quarterfinal matchup at BMO Stadium in L.A. with ease ... punching a ticket to the semis against Canada.

Here's hoping if the kid makes it to San Diego for that game, it sticks to the non-alcoholic bevvies.

Move over, Gerber Baby ... it's all about Truly Baby now.

BHAD BHABIE ES VISTA DISCUTIENDO CON SU NOVIO... Antes de la pelea en West Hollywood

a los gritos
TMZ.com

Danielle Bregoli estaba discutiendo con su novio antes de que una pelea estallara en un restaurante de Los Ángeles este fin de semana y parece que estaba bastante enojada, al menos basándonos de este nuevo video.

TMZ ha obtenido más imágenes que muestran a Danielle -aka, Bhad Bhabie- gritándole a su pareja: "pronto vas a ser papá de un bebé, Le Vaughn". Todo esto ocurrió el sábado por la noche en West Hollywood, no mucho antes de que sus amigos comenzaron a tener problemas con una mesa vecina, lo cual también fue capturado por la cámara.

"alcansenme adentro"
TMZ.com

En este nuevo ángulo, se puede ver a Bhad perdiendo la calma con su hombre, aunque es difícil decir exactamente lo que estaban discutiendo. Fuera lo que fuera, que tenía a Danielle bastante enfurecida.

Recordemos que el representante de Danielle nos dijo que ella y su grupo simplemente reaccionaron a ser provocados por "mujeres borrachas" que supuestamente los estaban acosando, pero esto parece sugerir que algo más estaba pasando, aunque no está claro qué.

En cualquier caso, las cosas se pusieron feas. Algunas de las amigas de Danielle se enfrentaron con otras damas en el restaurante... hasta que las separaron.

Danielle no parece estar directamente involucrada en actos violentos, y mientras testigos afirmaron que ella y Le Vaughn se pusieron agresivos, no hay evidencia que lo respalde, aparte de este clip que los muestra teniendo una acalorada discusión.

Como se puede ver, Danielle está a punto de estallar con el niño de Le Vaughn en su vientre, y no hace mucho tiempo lucían como una pareja feliz durante una reciente fiesta de bebé.

Teniendo en cuenta que están a punto de darle la bienvenida a un bebé al mundo juntos, esperamos lque puedan resolver sus problemas -sea cual sea- y llegar a una solución pacífica.

Ella ha recorrido un largo camino desde sus días de Dr. Phil hasta ahora, y en estos momentos previos a ser madre, te imaginas que quiere alejarse de todo el caos.

Bhad Bhabie Seen Arguing with Boyfriend ... Before W. Hollywood Fight

SCREAMING MATCH
TMZ.com

Danielle Bregoli was arguing with her boyfriend before a brawl erupted in an L.A. restaurant this weekend -- and it looks like she was pretty pissed ... at least based on this new video.

TMZ has obtained more footage that shows Danielle -- aka, Bhad Bhabie -- screaming at her partner/soon-to-be baby daddy, Le Vaughn, Saturday night in WeHo ... not long before her friends started scrapping with a neighboring table ... which was also caught on camera.

CATCH ME INSIDE!!!
TMZ.com

In this new angle, you can see BB losing her cool with her man -- although, it's hard to say exactly what they were bickering about. Whatever it was ... it clearly had Danielle fuming.

Remember, Danielle's rep told us she and her group simply reacted to being provoked by "drunk women" who were allegedly harassing them -- but this seems to suggest something else was going on besides these outside parties recording them all. Again, unclear what.

In any case ... it all came to head with blows from each side -- namely, some of Danielle's friends duking it out with other ladies in the restaurant ... that is, until they were broken up.

Danielle didn't appear to be directly involved in the violence herself here -- and while eyewitnesses claimed she and Le Vaughn had gotten physical amongst themselves ... there's no direct evidence to back that up, aside from this clip of them in a heated exchange.

As you can see, Danielle is just about to ready to pop with her and Le Vaughn's child -- and not that long ago ... they were looking like a happy couple during a recent baby shower.

030424_tmz_live_bhad_bhabie_kal
RESTAURANT RUCKUS

Considering they're about to welcome a baby into the world together, here's hoping they can work out their issues -- whatever those might be -- and come to a peaceful resolution.

She's come a long way since her Dr. Phil days ... and now that she's going to be a mom -- you figure she wants to pivot away from all the chaos that had followed her early on.

Steph Curry's Wife, Ayesha I'm Pregnant!!! ... Couple Expecting 4th Kid

Steph and Ayesha Curry are adding to the family roster ... the NBA superstar's wife is pregnant with their fourth child!!!

Ayesha just revealed the amazing news in her newest Sweet July magazine issue ... explaining that she and the Golden State Warriors guard initially thought they were done having kids after their third child was born in 2018 -- but had a change of heart.

"Last year, we looked at each other and agreed we wanted to do this again," the 34-year-old said.

Ayesha -- a TV personality and cookbook author -- added this pregnancy hits differently ... especially when it comes to her cravings like watermelon, Japanese peaches and McDonald's McGriddles.

She explained she's happy and grateful for the support system helping her through her pregnancy ... but admitted it can be difficult at times.

"I was really stubborn in my earlier pregnancies," Ayesha said. "And that hurt me in the end. It made things really hard on me. I had to learn to put my pride aside and realize it was okay to take help, to have people around me help and to not shy away from it."

"I know I can’t do this alone -- it truly takes a village."

Steph and Ayesha's relationship is like something out of a movie -- they met at a church youth group in Charlotte, N.C. when they were teenagers ... and got engaged in 2010.

They tied the knot a year later ... and since then, Steph has become a four-time NBA champion, while Ayesha hosts her cooking show on the Food Network and runs her lifestyle publication that launched in 2020.

Steph and Ayesha have three other kids -- Riley, who was born in 2012, Ryan in 2015, and Canon, who arrived in 2018.

KELLY OSBOURNE ENORME PELEA CON SU NOVIO... Por el apellido de su hijo

022824_osbournes_podcast_kal
la mayor pelea
The Osbournes Podcast

Kelly Osbourne dice que una de las mayores peleas que tuvo con su novio tuvo que ver con el apellido de su hijo.

La famosa hija de Ozzy y Sharon Osbourne se abrió sobre la enorme discusión con su hombre, Sid Wilson, en "The Osbournes Podcast", diciéndole a sus padres que su pareja no quería que su hijo Sidney tuviera sus dos apellidos cuando nació en 2022.

Kelly dice que ella y Sid -con quien ha estado desde principios de 2022- no podían llegar a un acuerdo respecto a darle a su hijo los dos apellidos, y al final, parece que Kelly lo convenció, porque que Sidney es un Osbourne.

Dijo que ella y Sid siguien adelante, pero puede que nunca sea capaz de perdonar a Wilson por haber sido tan cerrado. Así que sí, el asunto dejó sus cicatrices.

Pero hay luz al final del túnel... Osbourne dijo que ella y Wilson han estado hablando mucho y asisten a terapia de pareja, y afirma que él está entendiendo su punto de vista.

Kelly añadió que la pareja planea cambiar el nombre de su hijo para incluir los apellidos de ambos, una decisión inteligente de acuerdo con sus padres, quienes señalaron lo beneficioso que será el apellido Osbourne para el futuro del niño.

Después de todo, un montón de gente en Hollywood utiliza sus conexiones familiares para reservar puestos de trabajo -incluyendo a Kelly, quien recientemente dijo que estaba orgullosa de su apellido".

Kelly le dijo a Rolling Stone en enero que estaba orgullosa de los logros de sus padres, y que no tenía ningún problema en ser asociada con ellos, aunque añadió que no cree que las oportunidades deban caer en su regazo debido a sus lazos familiares.

En pocas palabras, parece que Kelly está convencida de que la familia es algo importante, especialmente cuando se trata de la familia Osbourne.

Kelly Osbourne Huge Blow-Up Fight w/ Boyfriend ... Hyphenate Son's Name!!!

022824_osbournes_podcast_kal
The Biggest Fight
The Osbournes Podcast

Kelly Osbourne says one of the biggest fights she had with her baby daddy all had to do with their kid's surname ... and it sounds like it's a fight she eventually backed down from.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's famous daughter opened up about the huge argument with her man, Sid Wilson, on "The Osbournes Podcast" ... telling her parents her partner didn't want their son Sidney to have both their last names when he was born in 2022.

Kelly says she and Sid -- who she's been with since early 2022 -- couldn't see eye to eye about giving their son two last names, and ultimately it appears Kelly capitulated ... 'cause she says Sidney isn't an Osbourne in name.

Osbourne said she and Sid are moving on ... but that she also may never truly be able to forgive Wilson for seemingly forcing this decision upon her. So yeah, harsh feelings linger.

There is light at the end of the name tunnel though ... Osbourne said she and Wilson have been talking a lot -- and attending couples therapy -- and she says he's seeing her side of things.

Kelly added that the couple plans on changing their son's name to include both of their last names ... a smart move according to her parents who pointed out how beneficial the Osbourne name will be for the kid's future.

After all ... lots of people in Hollywood use their famous family connections to book jobs -- including Kelly, who recently said she was proud to wear the "nepo baby" moniker.

Kelly told Rolling Stone back in January she was proud of her parents' accomplishments, and she had no issue being associated with them -- though she added she doesn't think opportunities should fall in her lap because of her family ties.

Bottom line ... seems like Kelly's answering the age-old question "What's in a name?" -- and she's convinced it's pretty freakin' significant, especially when you come from the Osbourne family.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Su esposo Ryan aviva los rumores de embarazo

Gypsy Rose Blanchard podría estar embarazada, o al menos eso es lo que su marido podría estar diciéndonos.

Scott Anderson publicó una foto en Instagram el martes, que muestra su brazo sobre lo que parece ser el vientre de Gypsy mientras están acostados en la cama. Su pie de foto es aún más revelador y dice: "Yo y mi pequeña familia acurrucados juntos ❤️ @gypsyrose_a_blanchard".

Aunque Gypsy no ha contestado explícitamente ni ha respondido al post de Ryan, sí le puso me gusta, lo que es interesante, por supuesto, pues parece estar aprobando su mensaje.

Lo que ambos parecen estar diciéndole al público es que ella podría estar embarazada, lo que queda aún más demostrado con su visita al hospital la semana pasada.

Hay fotos de Gypsy y Ryan en un centro médico en Lake Charles, Louisiana, las que han estado circulando en las redes sociales con muchos afirmando que se trata de un asunto de bebé. De ser cierto, eso daría credibilidad a lo que Ryan parece estar anunciando ahora.

Como todos sabemos, Gypsy corrió directamente a los brazos de Ryan después de ser liberada. Ambos contrajeron matrimonio mientras ella estaba tras las rejas.

Gypsy habló efusivamente sobre su relación en el programa de Lifetime "The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard". Ella le dijo a Ryan que estaba enamorada de él por teléfono, a lo que él respondió que ya se había enamorado de ella también.

Ryan le propuso matrimonio solo cuatro meses después de conocerse. Desde su liberación, han sido inseparables y han aparecido por todas partes juntos.

Por su parte, Gypsy ha estado defendiendo ferozmente a su hombre de todos los haters y casualmente dejó a entrever lo impresionada que estaba con sus habilidades en el dormitorio.

Si la noticia del posible embarazo es cierta, parece que han decidido ampliar la familia.

GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD HUSBAND RYAN FUELS PREGNANCY RUMORS ... 'Me & My Little Family'

Gypsy Rose Blanchard may be pregnant -- at least that's what her husband seems to be telegraphing anyway.

Ryan Scott Anderson posted a photo on Instagram Tuesday, which showed his arm wrapped around what appears to be Gypsy's belly as they lie in bed. His caption is even more telling -- it reads, "Me and my little family cuddling together ❤️ @gypsyrose_a_blanchard."

While Gypsy hasn't explicitly replied or responded to Ryan's post ... she did like it, so that's interesting too of course. On its face, she seems to be cosigning the message he's sending.

What they both appear to be telling the public ... she might have a bun in the oven -- which looks to be further proven by the fact they paid a visit to the hospital last week.

Photos of Gypsy and Ryan at a medical facility together in Lake Charles, LA have been circulating online, with many on social media claiming they were there for baby stuff. If true, that would lend credence to what Ryan's seemingly announcing now.

As we all know ... Gypsy ran straight into the arms of Ryan after her prison release, this after marrying him while she was imprisoned.

Gypsy gushed about how their relationship kick-started on Lifetime's "The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard" ... saying she told Ryan over the phone she was smitten -- and he said he'd had already fallen in love with her as well.

Ryan then popped the question just four months after they met face-to-face. Ever since her release -- they've been inseparable ... popping up all over the place side by side.

For her part, Gypsy's been fiercely defending her man from all the haters, while casually letting everyone know she's impressed with his skills in the bedroom.

If this would-be pregnancy news holds any truth ... it sounds like they're expanding their family.

Rudy Gobert, GF Julia Bonilla We Got A Bun In The Oven!!! ... Expecting First Child

Rudy Gobert might've had the best All-Star break in the entire NBA ... 'cause the Minnesota Timberwolves big man's girlfriend just announced they're having a baby!!

The couple shared the exciting news with a number of romantic pregnancy photoshoot pics ... showing him embracing Julia Bonilla's bump during a sunset on the beach.

Rudy also posted a picture palming Julia's growing tummy with his hand ... with his fingers covering the majority of her midriff.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Gobert had a one-word statement on the reveal ... saying, "Legacy," while Julia added, "The better half of us."

The couple's friends expressed their excitement -- from Jordyn Woods to Joakim Noah, Austin Rivers, Trey Lyles and more.

It's unclear how long Gobert and Bonilla have been official -- he's a pretty private guy -- but the two spent the Christmas holidays together with family in Minnesota ... so we take it they've been serious for a while now.

The baby could grow up to be pretty gifted on the court if it takes after pops, considering he's 7'1", a three-time All-Star and a three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

Gobert didn't get selected to play for the Western Conference this year ... but given the bun in the oven, we take it he's over the moon heading into the second half of the season.
