Miranda Kerr Welcomes Second Son, Myles



Congrats to Aussie model Miranda Kerr on the birth of her second son, Myles.

The Victoria Secret cover girl shared the news of the arrival on her Instagram.

“We are overjoyed at the arrival of Myles and so appreciate everyone’s kind words and wishes during this special time,” she captioned a photo of the new arrival’s name spelled out in the stitching of a personalized blanket.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome our beautiful son into our family✨”.

Baby boy joins big brother 8-year old Flynn whose dad is Kerr’s ex ex-husband Orlando Bloom, and Hart, who Miranda welcomed with Evan in May last year.

Though she’s kept her pregnancy pretty secret, in August, she showed off her bump in some cute pics and looked radiant in maternity dress while promoting her skin care line this Summer.

Miranda Kerr’s Floral Maternity Looks are So On Brand

Australian model Miranda Kerr has been doing an excellent job repping her organic skincare brand Kora Cosmetics in her maternity style.

I was flipping through the Bellyitch Instagram followers and noticed the former Victoria Secret model wearing a lemon floral dress with white low heels and a white box handbag out and about. A few days later, she was in a short off the shoulder ruffle floral dress in the happiest of places: a sunflower patch!

Kerr and her husband, Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel are expecting their second child together, just 10 months after welcoming their first, son, Hart.

Kerr has a 8 1/2-year old son named Flynn with her ex husband, actor, Orlando Bloom. She infamously croons to the music of Bloom’s current flame, singer Katy Perry!

Mom-to-Be Miranda Kerr Launches Skin Care Line

Victoria Secret model Miranda Kerr launched a new skin care line called KORA Organics last week on June 21 in Malibu, California.

She sported a super cute hot pink mini dress while posing in front of a floral wall at the event held at a private beach front home.

She spoke to members of the media about her pregnancy, giving them an update.

“I suffered quite a lot of morning sickness and I was on bedrest for a little while, then I pinched a nerve in my neck,” she told Us Weekly during the event. “Every woman is different. For some reason … with each three of my pregnancies, I’ve been super nauseous and a little more sensitive.”

She added about giving birth: “It’s just such a miracle and the best thing that I’ve ever done. Having children is such a blessing.”

Kerr also famously posed with singer Katy Perry during the event. The “Never Really Over” singer is the current fiancee of Kerr’s ex husband Orlando Bloom, who Kerr shares a son, 8-year old Flynn.

“Thanks for shining bright with me @katyperry & Angela ??? @koraorganics #NoniBright” Kerr captioned the photo.

Kerr and hubby Snap Inc. CEO Evan Spiegel have a one-year-old son named Hart together and are expecting their second child together.

Congrats to the hard working pregnant mama!

This Australian News Mag Article About Motherhood Ruining Miranda Kerr’s Figure Got Me Heated

Opinion; by Jay Jay Ghatt

I was online and an article from an Australian news mag, news.com.au,  scrolled through my feed with an article discussing Australian super model Miranda Kerr, and specifically her comments in a recent Marie Claire article that are supposed to be about body positivity.

Kerr gave birth to her second son, Hart, six months ago, with husband, Snapchat founder, Evan Spiegel.

However, to me, the news.com.au article and especially its headline and Kerr’s statements in her Marie Claire interview do nothing to affirm the confidence of women who are mothers. Absolutely nothing in my opinion!

I am not sure the intent but they both missed the mark.

Let’s go through it, shall we?

At first blush, the headline reads that Kerr is “Ok that motherhood ruined her figure.” Oh really?

First of all, motherhood did not ruin her figure.  That is a very off-the-mark suggestion.

I am pretty sure motherhood enhanced her life and I’m also certain it gave her new curves. In  many cultures and countries around the world, curves are very much appreciated by many women and men worldwide.  Some women I know personally work hard to acquire curves.  Also, look at the Kim Kardashian phenomenon, for example. Note all these Instagram models that are getting butt enhancements, injections and wearing padded pants or photoshopping curves into there photos!

In that sense, then, motherhood made her figure better! It did not “ruin” her body, at all, necessarily!

Second, the headline casts a negative light on pregnancy and relays why a lot of women experience pregorexia and deprive themselves and their babies of much needed nutrients while pregnant over fear of gaining weight. This headline feeds into that very harmful notion of pregnancy being something that will mess up one’s body and figure.

I cannot stand it!

Inside the Marie Claire piece, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel who has a 7-year old son named Flynn with ex Orlando Bloom says “It’s OK, I’ve got a mum-bod and it’s fine!”

There is a very negative connotation behind the term “mum-bod” in that quote. This sentence relays that she is content with having a body associated with mothers. Ugh.

Society continue to tell women who are mothers that there bodies are unacceptable, not attractive and should be something we work hard on changing, altering, or improving.

The News.Au site feeds into this horrible notion when it states of Kerr, “even when she was heavily pregnant, Kerr showed off her curves for photographers.”

“Even when? “ “Even When?”

Hear me now: Women with or without having a baby bump have curves and take photos and have photos taken of them. Having curves is not a reason to not be worthy of being photographed!

I really hate this article! It’s so mean!

Then Kerr doesn’t add much to the convo by being quoted saying in that Marie Claire article, “I don’t mind. It’s all part of it. I took nine months – well, 10 months – to grow a beautiful child and it might take 10 months to feel good in a swimsuit again.”

You shouldn’t need a size 0 figure or body to feel good in a swim suit. It’s not a body positive article at all.

That’s all I have to say about this topic but there is no wonder women are not supported in so many aspects of their lives, before, during and after they join motherhood.

Media and major influential figure internalize and spout out so much toxic positions.

Ok. Off my high horse for the day! Have a great week all!

Let’s continue the conversation. I can be found everywhere in social media  @Bellyitch on Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook!

 

Miranda Kerr Announces She is Expecting with Her Snapchat Founder Husband

We need to start asking if all these Victoria Secret top models have a pregnancy pact.

Right after Bar Refaeli welcomed her second child and as Behati Prinsloo awaits the birth of her and Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine‘s second child, in comes Miranda Kerr to announce that she is expecting.

The gorgeous brunette shared that she and Snapchat founder Evan Speigel will welcome their first child together six months after they tied the knot. The couple famously abstained from sex  until marriage.

This will be her second child. She has son Flynn with first husband actor Orlando Bloom.

Back to Speigel, can we also give it  up for Tech geeks landing the hottest eligible bachelorettes? Tennis Champ Serena Williams is engaged and has a daughter with Reddit Co-founder Alexis Ohanian.  Here is a long list of More!

Congrats!

Shot in Head: Would be Robber to Malibu Home of Model Miranda Kerr

kerr

What is the deal with major high stakes security breaches these days?

Last Friday morning around 11 am on October 14, an intruder cut a hole in a fence to model Miranda Kerr’s Malibu, California home but was stopped by a security guard. The would-be robber stabbed the guard in the eye during their encounter.

During the scuffle, the guard manged to shoot the intruder several times including once in his head.

Both are receiving treatment in a Los Angeles hospital.  The Los Angeles County Sheriff‘s Department airlifted the security guard from the scene.

There could be something to say about letting the world into your home via media, perhaps as Kim Kardashian West , while in Paris for Paris Fashion Week, of jewelry once featured on her E! television show and flashed in social media.

Earlier this year, Kerr gave an inside look to Harper’s Bazaar into the 1960s style ranch she purchased in 2014 following her split with ex husband Orlando Bloom.

Kerr may not have been in the house at the time as her fiance Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel recently purchased a sprawling Brentwood mansion for the family.

Here are the Strollers Celeb and Posh Moms Use

celebrity stroller

It has been 10 years since I last posted the annual Bellyitch Most Expensive Strollers post. It was a yearly blog post staple and used to get tons of traffic because, honestly, I think people, generally, are obsessed with knowing what baby items are used and coveted by the super wealthy and celebrities.

Since the last post, a few stroller companies have gone out of business. RIP to Orbit, Maclaren and newer brands 4Moms and iCandy, which were once considered “it” strollers in their day but no longer manufacture luxury strollers.

In 2013, I published the list as part of the Bellyitch 100, a book of the top crib makers, maternity wear designers, stroller makers and baby clothes brands.

You can get your Free Copy of The Bellyitch 100 here!

Anyway, so I used to publish the Most Expensive Strollers list at a time when I was raising a young family and brands would boast that they were on the list.

My social circle at the time included professional working women, stay-at-home moms, and mom bloggers, several who were affluent and looked at the stroller as a status symbol.

Here is another secret about what happens among moms at the park, at the school pick up lot, in the mall and other social places where mommies congregate. They check out what strollers they’re pushing a baby or child in and make judgments.

Yes, there is a definite hierarchy in quality of strollers and believe me when I tell you that certainly check out what stroller another mom’s child is being pushed in and make judgments.

When I was raising my children as a young lawyer, I went through 6 strollers, which is a low number considering many of my friends at the tiem had way more.

Our first stroller was a Peg Perego  which converts from a baby carriage or pram to a push stroller. At the time, it was among the best. Then, when my first born turned into a toddler, we ordered the Inglesina Swift umbrella stroller from the Italian stroller manufacturer. It had a great run!

To pair with the Inglesina, a sturdy Italian brand, we got a lower cost Combi umbrella stroller for travel, a stroller we could beat up which was so much less that so that we wouldn’t mind if it got lost by the airline or damaged during travel.

Then, when I was expecting baby #2, I got as an amazing shower gift from my co-workers at my old job: a Peg Prerego Aria double stroller!

By the time baby number 3 rolled around, the Inglesina had hit the dirt, we left the Combi on some island we visited for vacation once and we had loaned out the Peg Perego Buggy to relatives who didn’t take good care of it.

The wheels on the double gave out and we opted to give to Goodwill rather than try to fix it or get the company to repair it.

B.O.B.

We opted for a lesss expensive Graco Snug Ride for Baby #3 and a B.OB. jogging stroller (the air-filled jogger stroller with hand activated rear wheel brakes that can ride smooth on any terrain) when I was ready to get back in shape.

Now, while we didn’t get any of them to make a statement, I have had many moms and dads comment on the pricier high end ones while walking in the parks, malls etc. People are always looking for a status symbol and there is a preconception that most expensive means the best!

It’s no wonder, you can see celebrities strolling their children in many of those on this list. The celebrities know that too. That is why Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony sued Silver Cross from publishing on their website an unauthorized endorsement which featured a People magazine photo of them pushing their twins in two Silver Cross prams.

People flock to buy whatever celebrities purchase and that stroller companies know that endorsement mean lots for their bottom line.

Anyhoo, on to the list. Of course, as a disclaimer, this list is not exhaustive. As usual, this list is based on my own personal research and I urge readers to point out other vehicles that should grace this list. Certainly, I would amend the post to reflect corrections.

In the meantime, check out this year’s list of “it” strollers pushed by the most Poshest of moms and celebs out there (I’m updating this list with a few more after the initial post so come back and ping me on Twitter if you don’t see one you think should be on this list)
