The Pankey family is about to get much much bigger according to reports that VH1‘s  Love and Hip Hop cast member Amina Buddafly is expecting her second child with husband & show co-star, Peter Gunz.

The German- Senegalese recording artist announced during a taping of the show’s reunion last Thursday, January 27 that she was expecting her second child with Gunz, (real name Peter Pankey), the Icecream Convos blog reports. The couple have a  17-month old  daughter named Cori.

This will be Peter Gunz’s 9th or 10th child, depending on when she gives birth, as Gunz is also expecting with his on-again-off-again love interest of 16 years on the show, Tara Wallace. Those two have a couple of sons together, 3-year old Kaz and 7-year old Jamison.

The boys met Cori on an episode of the show.

 

 She has announced that she is awaiting the birth of her  baby with Gunz. It is unclear how far along Amina is in her pregnancy, but she re-posted this recent photo of a friend.  Amina (in the black and white gingham top) looks to be in her second trimester.

But Gunz is not interested in all those who are judging the fact he is dad to many children. He took to Instagram to send a message to his critics: “Again I’m not on child support not one kid on welfare never asked anyone for help with my kids yet the out cry is so harsh… Go figure..” he captioned a photo collage of himself with all of his children.  “Can’t help trusting and believing a man you love… Blame me not Tara and Amina.. But after you blame me f*ck off.”

He has 8 children according to this VH1.com article

 

Congrats to all the new babies.

Who knew Erykah Badu has been a doula for 5 years now?

Erykah Badu   International Spokesperson   ICTC   Video One on Vimeo

“Erykah Badoula” is what Grammy-award winning neo-soul singer Erykah Badu‘s friends and family call her.

Last December, while promoting her latest project, a mixtape called “But you can’t use my phone“,  the platinum-selling songstress gave a telephone interview to Pitchfork magazine where she talked about he plans to open up her own doula practice.

Apparently, the Window Seat” singer was called to become a doula in 2001 after helping deliver a friend’s baby, according to a 2011 magazine interview she gave PEOPLE magazine’s print edition.

“I’ve always had a mothering nature. But I didn’t plan on becoming a doula. I just wanted to care for my family and friends,” she told the celebrity mag. 

“When I saw the baby, I cried. I knew what I was supposed to do with my life.”

She then read up on the job, and  began offering her services for free to family and friends. She eventually became the spokeswoman for the International Center for Traditional Childbearing and later got certified with the intention to open up a chain of centers in the inner cities, the Toronto Sun reported back in 2011.



“Nothing gives me more pleasure” than assisting in anesthesia-free births she said.

“We are able to communicate with the baby through music, aroma, crystals, tuning forks… we use all kind of tools to help the mother be at peace,” she added in a video announcing her spokespersonship.

The “Call Tyrone” singer told Pitchfork that she is now training to become a mid-wife and could, if she wanted to, move forward with her old plans to open up her own center.

Bravo! Multi-dimensional and  giving. Love it!

Badu has a 18- year-old son, named Seven Sirius Benjamin, with Outkast star Andre 3000, as well as two daughters – 12-year old Puma Sabti Curry and 7-year old  Mars Merkaba Thedford, two – from her relationships with rappers The D.O.C. and Jay Electronica, respectively

Shocker: RHOA’s Kandi Burruss shared a Breastfeeding Pic on Instagram and Did NOT Get Shamed

 

kandi burruss breastfeeding

Yippeee! Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss posted an Instagram photo of herself multitasking and nursing her son and didn’t get any hate! Yes, that’s news.

It is also progress because each time a celebrity woman (like Jessie James Decker, Alyssa Milano, and others) has done that she’s gotten plenty of shame comments from people who think it is too much to share and should stay out of public light, or is the baby being used for attention or vanity.

Not this time! Perhaps it helps to cut off the haters in the caption like Burruss did.

“This #breastfeeding stuff is no joke,” the biz mogul and platinum singer/songwriter wrote. “@sewjodie came over to my house to wash my hair & while she was washing @acewellstucker started going crazy! He doesn’t care that I have a head full of shampoo. He wants to eat now! Lol! This pic might be a bit much to share on the gram but this is my reality right now. Save your negative comments… #KandiKoatedMilk.”

Cute! And how about Ace has his own IG account and isnt’ even a full month old yet? ha!

Burruss and her husband Todd Tucker welcomed their son on January 6. This is the first child together for the couple that married in 2014.

The Bedroom Kandi entrepreneur is mom to 13-year old daughter Riley and Tucker has a 19-year old daughter, Kaela, both from previous relationships.

Kudos Kandi!!

For the record, Tamera Mowry-Housley got lots of love from the time she posted a breastfeeding photo.

Good news!

Basketball Wives: LA star Draya Michele has confirmed that she and her fiance are back on.  The swimsuit designer and original and longest appearing cast member of the VH 1 reality TV show has been seen out and about with her long time on-again-off-again beau Dallas Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scnadrick are back together.





“We’re just your typical soap opera black couple,” Michele told Hip Hop Hollywood about her notorious social media beefs she and Scandrick usually have. “You know we break-up, and then we make-up right away. You know we can’t really go too long without being without each other.”

The 6-months preggers star said she had no plans to rush down the aisle before baby comes.

“We’re not rushing for a wedding date. I’m not rushing to get down the aisle,” she added.  “I’m just trying to get my baby out and relax for a little bit, maybe travel some, take my family some places we’ve never been before and then get married.”

And can we say she also looked fabulous in a black jumpsuit at the LA premiere of “50 Shades of Black”  as seen in the photos above.  And her skin is glowing. Beautiful, ma!

 

Glam-on-a-trillion …. Thanks @taniamariamua for always getting my face right! French braid by: me

Tyra Banks Welcomed Son, York, via Gestational Carrier

Tyra Banks and Eric Asla

Could this be the other reason supermodel Tyra Banks walked away from her TV talk panel show FABLife?

Congrats to model, producer & TV host Tyra Banks who welcomed her first child, a son, York Banks Asla, via gestational surrogate.

“We are so excited for our new baby boy bundle of joy,” The America’s Next Top Model franchise creator told PEOPLE.  “The journey to now has not been an easy process, as I’ve shared before. But there was a beautiful bright light at the end of the tunnel for me and his father.

Norwegian photographer Erik Asla is the father.

“As I gaze into the beautiful eyes of my son, I think about all the people who struggle with fertility or carrying a child and continue to pray for them every day,” the beauty entrepreneur said in the statement. “My hopes and dreams are filled with well wishes that they get to feel what my little treasure, York Banks Asla, feels like in my arms.”

Banks announced the news to her fans and followers on Instagram.



“The best present we worked and prayed so hard for is finally here,” she captioned a photo of a newborn hospital hat. “He’s got my fingers and big eyes and his daddy Erik’s mouth and chin.”

The recent host of FABLife struggled to conceive and announced this fact during a segment on her show last year. Currently preggers Chrissy Teigen also opened about her and hubby John Legend‘s challenges with infertility.

So it comes as no surprise she again thought of those struggling with infertility in the caption.

“As we thank the angel of a woman that carried our miracle baby boy for us, we pray for everyone who struggles to reach this joyous milestone. York Banks Asla, welcome to the world,” she added.

Banks previously opened up about her infertility struggles, revealing that she had undergone IVF procedures in hopes of conceiving.

“When I turned 40, the one thing I was not happy about is that I did not have kids,” Banks told PEOPLE last September 2015 after opening up about having undergone IVF treatments. “When you’re like, ‘Okay, I’m just going to do it,’ then it’s not so easy as you get older.”

We are so happy for her! Yay!!!

Did Kim Kardashian-West really Say Breastfeeding was Inconvenient?

kim k north and saint breastfeeding

We heard on the news that Kim Kardashian said in a recent post on her app that breastfeeding was inconvenient. We ladies in the Bellyitch offices gave a collective eye roll.

gif kera ritter rolling her eyes

Then we read the actual report which revealed that the business mogul was really discussing breastfeeding, generally, and shared her views on public breastfeeding, as E! reported. Phew!

“I know some people find breastfeeding such a private, personal experience, while other people are very open and even breastfeed in public,” she wrote. “Now that I’m a mom, I say whatever makes you comfortable goes.”

It’s not for her unless it’s just in front of friends, Kardashian-West says.

“I still personally wouldn’t breastfeed at a restaurant with a bunch of people I didn’t know staring at me,” she added. “I’ve seen this before and remember tweeting how shocked I was. Now that I’m a mom, I’m not that shocked, especially if you have a few kids and can’t leave to breastfeed one kid in the bathroom while leaving the others at the table. But I still personally wouldn’t do it, unless it was an emergency situation and I was fully covered.”

And, the reality TV star redeemed herself by sharing how North is jealous of her baby brother and sits in Kim’s lap to interfere with his feeding.

“North hates when I feed the baby, and she lays on my lap so Saint can’t be right in front of me to eat, LOL!” Kim wrote on the paid service. “I’ve started to include her: Sometimes I will pump and have her feed him the bottle. That totally worked! She loved helping me, as opposed to my attention being off of her, and now she is my little helper.”

So cute. Check out the app to read Kim’s perspectives on public breastfeeding. You get 7 days free access! (wink)

Okay. That’s all we got for now. Carry on.

A Look At Chrissy Teigen’s 2nd Trimester Maternity Style

 

teigens' style

And now for the portion of our coverage when we dissect Chrissy Teigen’s second trimester looks.

Teigen announced  in October that she was expecting her first child with her husband John Legend and we have been loving her maternity style!

Teigen hilariously told InStyle Australia and she and Legend come from a family of bigger people and said they have to watch what they eat and exercise otherwise they’ll blow up.

Well, you wouldn’t be able to tell by the way she remained pretty svelte and still able to get away with some edgy fashion for her second trimester of her pregnancy.  She stuck with A-line dresses but didn’t shy away from mixing and matching pieces too.

  1. I love the color of this Malene Birgir vertical striped silk dress. Hey, when you’ve got the legs, right?! Teigen went with Givenchy Clark Shark Lock Suede Sandals in a neutral color to match her camel colored coat. Fab!
  2. I did a Splurge/Steal post on this very cute outfit Teigen wore shortly after announcing her pregancy. There was tremendous buzz over the outfit because it was sheer as well.

  3. I like the plaid A-Line  shirt dress Teigen while out and about. It’s freeing yet still stylish.  This Peak-lapel wool-blend coat by Mugler worn overtop is fierce and as it should be when paired with a sharp black Hermes Birkin bag. And I want those Chloe platform boots but am bummed they’re sold out at Neiman’s. Shucks! Teigen capped off the look with a pair of aviator shades by Victoria Beckham.

  4. Teigen loves her friend Beckham who outfitted her in this cute white mini dress. It is simple and chic and the bun makes it even cuter. And I was surprised to find out thse gold Kurt Geiger KG Hero Platforms are reasonably priced at just $64. Nice!

5. This Lace Trimmed Pencil Skirt dress by Self Portrait actually sold out, I believe after it was part of a trending topic on Social Media. Teigen wore look at an event also during the same week after she announced her pregnancy. It too was much buzzed about!

That was an A+ maternity look for the Second Trimester! Let’s see what Teigen and her stylist team bring us for this last trimester she is heading into. (if not already in)

 

Inside JoJo Simmons’ Brookyn Baby Shower (PHOTOS)

jojo simmons shower

JoJo Simmons always came across as the non-committal unsettled brother on Run’s House, the long running MTV reality TV show he starred in with his dad, Rev. Run of the 80s rap group Run DMC.

But it looks like JoJo is all grown up and will soon be a dad. He and his girlfriend Tanice Amira had a baby shower on Sunday, January 17  at the Milk River Restaurant and Lounge in Brooklyn, NY, to celebrate the impending arrival of the new addition to the family. His sister Angela Simmons was there as was his R&B crooning brother Diggy and the baby Russell (who isn’t the baby anymore)

It looks like the theme was royal and gold was a central color of the theme. There was a cake shaped like a little throne.  The couple are expecting a daughter and they have already given her a name, Mia.

Very pretty. Take a look of the rest of the pics by event photographer Tristate photos, Bloom Cakes and Malista Batista photo as shared on IG.

Inside Chrissy Teigen’s InStyle Australia Fashion Shoot (PHOTOS/VIDEO)

instyle magazine

Chrissy Teigen looked radiant on the February cover of InStyle Australia and in the inside cover shots. The TV host and model is expecting her first child, a daughter, with her husband John Legend.

The photos give out an aura of outdoor, romantic yet natural. It’s awesome that the magazine found such unique pieces that flatter with such style and sophistication. It is also great that they went with national designers from Australia. So many shoots feature the usual suspects from Paris, France and Milan, Italy.

The FABLife co-host revealed in the cover story that her good friend Kim Karadashian gave her maternity wear advice.

“She told me to go stretchy,” Tegein shared with the magazine. We agree! Great advice. Stretchy is quite forgiving yet accentuates the curves.

teigen instyle

How simply elegant is this white Bally‘s shirt dress?! Owww. It is accessorized with XIV bangles and very exotic Christian Louboutin straw booties. They give me that “Outback” vibe. They fit in perfectly with the rustic shoot. SwoonTegien also confessed that she and Legend haven’t settled on a baby name yet. “We change the name every day, basically,” the LipSync Battle host said while adding that they haven’t done much work on the nursery either.

We are also loving this gorgeous flowy black and white cotton and silk maxi dress by Australian designer Maticevski. I love the four bold white Dinosaur Designs white resin bangles which is perfect accompaniment to the up swept bun and bare feet. Perfect!

And she gets to be flirty in this black cotton dress that looks like intertwined chains made by Romance Was Born, another Australian designer. And are those asps we see on that Giuseppe Zanotti sandals? Could be. They are hawt!
