As it happens, though, there were many special moments before that magical day and of course, many afterward. Perhaps most notably is the pair welcoming their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, 2019. Since then, Megan and Harry have blossomed into the loving and nurturing parents adoring fans knew they would be. 

“When Harry goes off to do his own thing, Archie will squeal with excitement when he sees him again. He’s a real daddy’s boy, but you can tell he also loves his mom,” an insider previously told Life & Style. “Harry’s a real joker and spends hours on end making Archie giggle away. He says seeing his son smile is the best feeling in the world.”

Despite officially stepping down from their royal duties in March 2020, Meghan and Harry continue to find solace in their little family, especially on special occasions. “Christmas is Meghan’s favorite holiday and she cannot wait to get into the festive spirit. She and Harry will buy a ginormous Christmas tree for the new house and will decorate it as a family,” a separate source told Closer Weekly of the pair’s 2020 holiday plans. “They’re excited about getting Archie involved this year and will let him pick out a couple of ornaments to put on the tree.” 

While Meghan, Harry and Archie no doubt live a charmed life, that doesn’t mean they haven’t faced hardship. In November 2020, the Suits alum revealed she suffered a miscarriage in July of that year. “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” Meghan penned in a New York Times op-ed.

On Valentine’s Day 2021, though, the duo announced they were pregnant again. “Baby news! ‘We can confirm that Archie is going to be a big brother,’ says a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan,” author Omid Scobie confirmed. “‘The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to be expecting their second child.'”

The happy couple welcomed their second baby, a daughter named Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, on June 4. Scroll through the gallery below to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship timeline.

Vanderpump Rules alum Stassi Schroeder welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Hartford Charlie Rose Clark, with husband Beau Clark at 6:57 p.m. on January 7.

Baby Hartford — whose middle names, Charlie and Rose, were chosen in honor of Beau’s father and Stassi’s grandmother, respectively — came into the world weighing 7 lbs., 3 oz. and measuring 19 inches long.

“We truly cannot begin to describe the happiness and joy we are feeling at this moment,” the couple said in a statement to People. “It’s something that you hear from all new parents right after birth, but something magical happens … We are feeling so blessed and grateful to have a beautiful and most importantly, healthy baby girl.”

But they’re not the only A-listers to become parents so far this year. Dancing with the Stars pro Witney Carson announced the birth of her first child, a baby boy, with husband Carson McAllister on Instagram. She said the birth came “after a really hard 24-hour labor and an unexpected c-section.”

“We are all healthy and well. We are so grateful, and we’ve been soaking up every moment with our perfect angel boy. Thank you for all the prayers!” she added, alongside a black-and-white close-up of her hand holding the newborn’s.

She later revealed that their son, Kevin McCallister, is “named after his grandpa who sent him down to us,” adding that her little one was born on January 3 and weighed in at 7 lbs., 2 oz. and measured 21″ long.

Some fans, however, pointed out the tot’s moniker is the same as Macaulay Culkin‘s fictional character in the popular Christmas movie Home Alone. “Love the name! Don’t leave him home alone,” one fan mused via social media, while another added, “So cute! Please don’t forget to take him with you when you go on vacation!” and a third chimed in, “Whatever you do, don’t ever leave him home alone.”

As for who we can expect to give birth later this year? Well, Mike Sorrentino‘s wife, Lauren Pesce, Arie Luyendyk Jr.‘s wife, Lauren Burnham, and more are all currently pregnant!

These Photos of Prince Harry as a Baby Prove He's Son Archie's Twin

“Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet,” a statement from the press secretary for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed on Sunday, June 6. “Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.”

Needless to say, the royal couple, who wed in May 2018, are over the moon about their new addition. They also share 2-year-old son Archie Harrison. Prince Harry, 36, gushed over feeling so “grateful” and “amazing” to have a second child after they revealed they were having a girl during their tell-all CBS interview in March. 

“Like to have any child, any one or any two would have been amazing. But to have a boy and then a girl, what more could you ask for?” he said at the time. “We got our family — the four of us and our two dogs, it’s great.”

An insider told Life & Style Archie couldn’t “wait to meet his baby sister” during Meghan’s pregnancy. “[He] loves putting his hand on his mummy’s tummy and feeling the baby move … He’s such a caring, bright, loving little boy and is super advanced for his age,” divulged the insider about the toddler in April.

The newly minted family of four had a lot of changes happen within the past year. In January 2020, the philanthropist and former Suits actress announced they were stepping back as senior royals. The two promptly left their U.K. home at Frogmore Cottage and relocated to Canada. They eventually made a permanent move to their current home in Montecito, California. 

In February 2021, the palace released a statement confirming the Duke and Duchess Sussex’s royal exit was permanent. Harry noted stepping down was a “desperate” move after having gone to “the institution” for help and not receiving any during their CBS interview.

“We never left the family,” Meghan added, explaining they only stepped back from their professional roles. “We were saying, ‘OK, if this isn’t working for everyone, we’re in a lot of pain, you can’t provide us with the help that we need, we can just take a step back. We can do it in a commonwealth country.’ We suggested New Zealand, South Africa.”

Harry also pointed out they “never blindsided” his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. “It was like, ‘I need to do this for my family.’ This is not a surprise to anybody,” he acknowledged. “It’s really sad that it’s gotten to this point, but I’ve got to do something for my own mental health, my wife’s, and for Archie’s, as well, because I could see where this was headed.” 

It looks like Harry and Meghan are happier than ever with their adorable children!

“It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world,” a statement from the press secretary for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed on Sunday, June 6. ”Both mother and child are healthy and well, and settling in at home.” The little girl was delivered “in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California.”

Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39, are clearly in baby bliss since welcoming their new addition. Luckily, 2-year-old Archie was also excited to become a big brother before the arrival of his sibling.

“Archie can’t wait to meet his baby sister and loves putting his hand on his mummy’s tummy and feeling the baby move,” a source gushed to Life & Style in early April. “He’s such a caring, bright, loving little boy and is super advanced for his age.” 

The adorable toddler got lots of bonding time with his parents as they anxiously awaited baby No. 2. “To wind down and switch off they go for family walks on the beach and spend time in their beautiful garden,” the source added. “Archie’s a real water baby and loves being in the pool. Harry can’t wait to teach him to swim this summer.”

The former Suits actress and philanthropist, who wed in May 2018, announced Meghan’s pregnancy in February. The following month, the pair revealed they were having a girl during their tell-all CBS interview.

Harry said he felt “amazing” and was “grateful” to have another baby on the way. “Like to have any child, any one or any two would have been amazing. But to have a boy and then a girl, what more could you ask for?” he continued. “We got our family — the four of us and our two dogs, it’s great.”

Their joyous news came months after Meghan opened up about suffering a devastating miscarriage in July 2020. She recalled feeling a “sharp cramp” while changing Archie’s diaper in an op-ed for the New York Times, which was published in November 2020.

A Complete Timeline of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's Relationship

“I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right,” she wrote. “I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second.”

Luckily, the couple safely welcomed their rainbow baby. Congrats!

It all started when Rich Royal, who the former Miss USA follows on Instagram, shared a screenshot of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 40, crying from the Thursday, June 3, episode of the series when she recounted her struggles in her marriage to Kanye West.

“I f—king hate her,” the friend captioned the photo, to which Shanna, 46, replied in the comments, “You’re not alone.” Her pal responded with a crying-laughing emoji.

On May 15, the Wedding Singer actress accused the Blink-182 rocker, 45, of cheating on her with the Skims founder during their marriage in an alleged direct message shared by the former couple’s daughter, Alabama Barker. Three days later, she doubled down on her statements in an interview with Us Weekly. “I saw them — I caught [Travis and Kim] having an affair,” she told the outlet on May 18.

However, a source close to the situation told In Touch at the time that the claims were  “absolutely not true.”

Travis, who was married to Shanna from 2004 to 2008, previously addressed his flirtations with Kim in his 2015 memoir, Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums. “I wanted to be nothing but a gentleman to her,” he revealed after noting that he had been “secretly checking her out” when they met in the early 2000s. At the time, Kim was working as Paris Hilton‘s assistant and Travis was romantically linked to the heiress. While the “Adam’s Song” drummer spent more time with Kim after his relationship with Paris, 40, fizzled out, he asserted that “Kim and I never touched each other. It just wasn’t meant to be.“ “Kim and I never touched each other. It just wasn’t meant to be.“

The KKW Beauty founder also slammed the rumors on May 26. “NO! False narrative!” she said of the speculation via her Instagram Stories at the time. “We’ve been friends for years and I’m so happy for him and Kourt.” The former Aquabats member is currently dating Kim’s older sister, Kourtney Kardashian.

Shanna opened up to In Touch during an exclusive interview and revealed that she wishes the couple well — but doesn’t make them a focus in her life. “I don’t have any feelings towards either one of them,” she previously told the outlet before noting she wouldn’t mind if her the new couple end up engaged in the future. “I don’t care about them. I’m in a relationship with [Matthew Rondeau] and, you know, we’re doing our own thing … If they want to run off into the sunset, like by all means.”

While Mama June, 41, is facing two years behind bars for drug-related charges, she seems to be in denial of whether she would actually be found guilty and sentenced to prison time. Her boyfriend, Geno Doak, wanted to show her the reality of her situation so he arranged for a local sheriff to arrange for a night locked up so she could see what may be in store for her.

Geno, 45, tricked June by telling her he had arranged a romantic vacation for just the two of them. The Georgia native believed her man, so much that she even had him stop at a gas station so she could pick up some sexy goodies for their getaway — including incense.

After driving for a bit longer, June realized they were in Atlanta — which is when she started to get suspicious. Their true destination was revealed when Geno parked their car at the police station.

Once they arrived, the sheriff and several officers greeted them and they pretended to arrest June. They even booked her and had her change into an orange jumpsuit before they threw her in the jail.

Even though it was a big, elaborate hoax, June did not think the joke was funny. While the episode was airing, she took to Twitter to reveal how she felt about her man’s idea of a prank.

“I mean, Geno could had at least me we was going to Alabama not making me think we was going for a romantic weekend,” she wrote. “Omg ending up in the same county I got locked up in over two years ago by the same officers in the same vehicle. This is f–ked up. F–k off, Geno.”

June added, “The worst part of it all is the guys hollering all, ‘fresh [meat], come over here, let me look at you.’ And they probably were doing [inappropriate] things and that’s the most crazy [thing] to me.”

As for her case, Mama June was able to avoid jail time for her charges of felony drug possession and misdemeanor unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia charges, local paper Trussville Tribune reported. At her hearing, which was held in Macon County, Alabama, in April, she entered a plea deal where she would plead guilty and may have the charges dismissed if she completes a trial diversion program that included court supervision and community service.

The exclusive release and shopping experience, managed and operated by Eric The Jeweler, will be held exclusively at the Fontainebleau Hotel (located at 4441 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, Florida) from Friday, June 4, to Monday, June 7, during the #MayweatherPaul fight weekend.

Mayweather’s $18 Million Dollar watch from his private collection, along with more of the best jewelry pieces in Miami, will be available for sale at the pop-up shopping experience. The 2020 International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee’s championship belt will also be on display along with the largest privately-owned Richard Mille watch collection in North America by Jas Mathur of Limitless.

A private meet and greet will also take place on Saturday, June 5th from 7:30-10:00 p.m. with Mayweather, along with VIP clientele and his celebrity friends. Buyers who purchase over $50,000 in goods will receive an authenticated, signed glove by Floyd Mayweather.

In addition to the pop-up shop, Mayweather has also launched “TMT Ring Girls”, a campaign that gave fans the opportunity to enter into a once-in-a-lifetime competition for an all-expense-paid trip to be a ring girl during the 8-round exhibition with YouTube sensation Logan Paul.

“I know during COVID, we couldn’t really gather in large groups and that has affected a lot of people and since this boxing exhibition is unconventional, I wanted to do something different to engage my fans and give them a unique experience. This is the first time that I have held a fight on a Sunday, just like all other major sporting events like the Super Bowl and the All-Star Game, and this is the first time I have been able to pick ring models from all backgrounds to be a part of this fight,” the undefeated, five-division boxing champion said.

The winner, London Borom, was announced on Mayweather’s Instagram Live on Thursday, June 3 by President of The Money Team, James McNair, and Mayweather’s eldest son, Koran Mayweather.

London will have the red carpet rolled out for her and a guest who will receive a custom TMT chain, floor seats to the fight, and a glam experience courtesy of The Money Team.

The high-profile week of events will culminate with the star-studded Official Fight After-Party at LIV Nightclub on Sunday, June 6th immediately following the fight. Tickets to the fight can be purchased at www.mayweatherpaultickets.com.

J. Lo, 51, was seen stepping out of the passenger’s side of the Gone Girl actor’s black Mercedes which was parked on his property, according to photos obtained by Page Six on Friday, June 4. The “On the Floor” singer looked comfy and casual in a cropped white off-the-shoulder sweatshirt with matching sweatpants. She paired the look with teal and yellow New Balance sneakers and a teal sports bra. She accessorized with gold hoop earrings, gold rings, a pair of oversized sunglasses and completed her look with her hair in a slicked-back ponytail.

Celebrities React to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Reunion

Ben, 48, was in the driver’s seat and he remained in his vehicle until the gate to his property was fully closed so he was not visible.

Their spotting comes just days after the Argo star was photographed looking happy and refreshed as he was leaving the Hustlers actress’ house in the morning of Wednesday, June 2. He smiled at the cameras as he got into his car and drove away.

The couple has been spending a lot of time together recently. On Monday, May 31, they were seen with their arms wrapped around each other as they entered Wolfgang Puck’s new restaurant at the Pendry hotel in West Hollywood for a romantic dinner date.

The old flames rekindled their relationship in April following the Bronx native’s split from ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez. Since their breakup, the new couple has been spending time together in Montana, Miami, and Los Angeles.

Ben and Jen, who were famously nicknamed “Bennifer,” were previously linked from 2002 to 2004, after they split and called off their engagement. On May 26, an insider confirmed to In Touch that the couple were officially back together and “moving fast” with their second chance romance.

Another source revealed to In Touch that Ben made the first move by “reaching out to check up on her as a friend” following her breakup from Rodriguez, 45, but he “exactly what he was doing” since they were both “single.”

While the Good Will Hunting alum “wasn’t sure” how his ex-fiancée  “would react,” “Jen went for it” by “texting funny and flirty replies,” the insider continued. “Ben may have initiated it, but Jen sealed the deal. She wanted him back just as bad as he wanted her.”

In the portraits she shared in late May, Kim, 40, used all KKW Beauty products and modeled a series of different edgy ensembles for her brand, even accessorizing with a septum diamond nose ring. The final three shots were the images sparking backlash as they showed Kim in “om” earrings, leading some fans and other public figures to speak out in criticism.

Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, issued a statement revealing the shoot “upset Hindus” and they now “seek [an] apology from Kim Kardashian.” The religious leader said the om is a “mystical syllable” containing the universe used to “introduce and conclude religious work.” Rajan said it’s “not meant to be used as a fashion statement or become a tool for sexy fashion.” 

In addition to a public apology, Rajan told the law student it’s understandable if people wear the symbol to illustrate their “devotion” to their faith. On the other hand, he said wearing it as a fashion accessory in “a one-time photo shoot” can be seen as “disrespectful” even if that wasn’t her intention. 

Kim’s other brand SKIMS is now worth a whopping $1.6 billion, the New York Times reported in April, but in order to make it a global success, she previously changed the Kimono name to SKIMS after being accused of cultural appropriation.

“I made the decision to name my company Kimono, not to disassociate the word from its Japanese roots but as a nod to the beauty and detail that goes into a garment,” Kim previously explained about how she came up with the original name. “I understand and have deep respect for the significance of the kimono in Japanese culture.”

After seeing the angry responses, Kim issued a statement revealing she would be changing the name in August 2019, noting she never meant to offend anyone and was just trying to pay her respects. “I am always listening, learning and growing — I so appreciate the passion and varied perspectives that people bring to me,” the reality star wrote. “When I announced the name of my shapewear line, I did so with the best intentions in mind.”

Kim, who is now going through a divorce from husband Kanye West, has since announced the latest launch of her brand Skims: the neon collection.

After first announcing their pregnancy in August 2019, the new parents quickly revealed that Abbie was suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. “It hit her hard, and she was down for probably seven weeks with severe morning sickness,” John David told Us Weekly. “She got diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, and she was hospitalized a couple of times. We made multiple visits to the ER for dehydration. … She couldn’t eat, pretty much, or drink or anything. So she was actually on IVs and had IVs at home. So that was a pretty scary time.”

When the time came for the mom to give birth in January, that also got off to a rough start. TLC’s birth special revealed that “Abbie’s labor had stalled” after she first went to the hospital. The couple headed home, but after 24 hours of labor, they decided to go back for medical help. When she hit the 30-hour mark and there was still no baby, doctors decided to accelerate the process by administering Pitocin. The star also opted for an epidural.

The Duggars Welcomed an Army of Babies — and More Are on the Way!

Soon enough, though, little Grace finally arrived. “Our lives have changed forever with the arrival of our baby girl,” the parents told Us Weekly. “She is a beautiful gift from God. We are so blessed the Lord has given her to us. It’s still surreal to know that we are really parents, but it’s a great new adventure that we are excited to take on together.” On Instagram, they added, “We are quite smitten by our new bundle of joy and are soaking in all of her little newborn snuggles!” And after a few days at home with their daughter, they shared another update: “I think our hearts have grown 10 sizes!”
