Shaw; the actress Reese Witherspoon; attorney Tina Tchen and more, pledging support to working-class women in an open letter signed by hundreds of women in show business, many of them A-listers.

Redskins Quarterback Kirk Cousins and Wife Welcome Son, Cooper

Posted on October 1, 2017

I’m not following professional football this season but as a life long Redskins fan, I was on Bumpwatch over Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins and his wife, Julie!

The newlyweds welcomed their first child Friday night son, Cooper. I love that name!!

The newest arrivals was overdue– joining the world 11 days after mom Julia’s due date.

He weighed a healthy 9 pounds, 11 ounces.

“It’s a special experience,” Cousins said reading. “I texted the coaches afterwards and said, ‘That was a top experience of my life so far.’ That says it all.”

Cousins missed practice on Friday when Julie went into labor!

Congrats!

Kristen Bell and bump featured in Samsung commercial w/husband Dax Shepard

Posted on December 13, 2014

Veronica Mars’ Kristen Bell and her husband Parenthood‘s Dax Shepard are super adorable in the new Samsung commercial about the Holidays. The long spot features Bell’s baby bump prominently as the couple are expecting their second child shortly. They welcomed daughter Lincoln last March 2013.

In the commercial, Shepard makes runs to get foods to satisfy Bell’s cravings, and seemingly seems unhelpful in helping her pick the choice of cute maternity looks. Bell summed it up in her tweet presenting the commercial calling it what life is like in the Bell/Shepard household, the Daily Mail noted. Funny!

Check out a few stills and the commercial below!
