Nick Cannon Announced He’s Expecting His 12th Child

Image
We’ve never seen anyone experience baby fever like Nick Cannon. Just last week, he and Alyssa Scott announced the imminent arrival of their second child together, and last night, Abby De La Rosa revealed she’s currently expecting her third child with Cannon, making The Masked Singer host a soon-to-be dad of 12. The timelines are clearly overlapping, so in an attempt to make the Nick Cannon-to-baby pipeline a little clearer, we’re breaking down the full timeline of the media personality’s romantic relationships that resulted in his 12 bundles of joy. We’re throwing it back to 2011 when Cannon was married to Mariah Carey and his first two babies, twins Monroe and Moroccan, 11, made their way into the world on April 30. He and the music icon married in 2008 and divorced in 2016. On February 21, 2017, former Miss USA Brittany Bell gave birth to Cannon’s third child, Golden Saigon, 5. Three years later on December 23, 2020, the pair welcomed their fi...

Reddit Is Baffled When a Mom Won’t Let Her Husband Eat with the Family

Image
Dinner is served. Wash your hands, pass the rolls — and, BTW, don’t talk to anyone! This is a time for eating after all, so no socializing is allowed … at least, according to this mom on Reddit. She complained that her husband had the audacity to want to (*gasp!*) make conversation with their 10- and 13-year-old kids over mealtime, so she did the only logical thing: banish him from family dinners. Uh, what? In the always-entertaining “Am I The A—hole?” subreddit, a mom went online to complain about her husband, and ended up being roasted like a Thanksgiving turkey. First, a little backstory. “My husband (37) suffers from a medical condition which got more and more severe the past 4 months,” she wrote. “He is now following a diet and has a strict eating schedule as part of his health management.” OK, that makes things a little more difficult. He has to have certain foods that the rest of the family doesn’t. But does this mean he shouldn’t be allowed to ...

Priyanka Chopra has been doing a lot of traveling lately. She recently was in India with Unicef , where she has learned about various initiatives to help women and kids. Prior to that , she was in Africa , she traveled to Dallas, Texas , for a wedding, and she visited Washington, DC, to moderate a conversation with Vice President Kamala Harris at the Women’s Leadership Forum.

The Citadel star shared a sweet new family photo to Instagram today where she is reunited with her 10-month-old daughter Malti Marie. “Home ❤️🙏🏽💫🧿,” she wrote in the caption. In the picture, Chopra is lying on the floor and gazing into Malti’s eyes. The little girl is dressed in a white sleeper outfit and reaching out to hug her mom.

Studies Find Science Could Rate How Beautiful a Baby’s Name Is

Image
Having trouble choosing the perfect name to carry your child through every season of life? Naming your baby is a major decision, no doubt, and if you need help with landing on the perfect moniker, perhaps science can steer you in the right direction. My 1st Years partnered with University of Birmingham Associate Professor of Cognitive Linguistics,  Dr. Bodo Winter, to perform a study on scientific principles that could potentially indicate how beautiful-sounding a name is. Although their research only focused on the most popular names in the United States and the United Kingdom, they found that certain principles of linguistics and psychological phenomenons do seem to make certain names sound more appealing to our ears. The publication and the linguistics expert teamed up to rank this year’s most popular baby names in the US and UK according to the linguistic theory of iconicity, or sound symbolism, to ultimately determine the top 50 boy and girl names tha...

Kids Can Learn So Many Life Lessons From Sesame Street

Image
My mom loved watching Sesame Street with me when I was a little girl, and I thought she was weird because of it. Now that I’m a mom, though, I get it. The Sesame Street Muppets are goofy and adorable, but they’re also spot-on about life even in the midst of their chaos. Here are the 12 life lessons I’ve learned by watching Sesame Street this second time around. 1. Adventure awaits Image: Giphy Whether Grover is flying to another planet or Abby Cadabby is exploring her classroom, these Muppets have taught us that adventure awaits those who choose to participate in the drama of life. There’s no reason to wait for more money or more time when adventure is just outside our doors. Related story Sesame Street Makes Its TikTok Debut With the Cutest Video 2.

10 Ways to Make Your Kids Less Materialistic During the Holidays

Image
Photo : EvgeniiAnd ( Shutterstock ) The season is upon us: Mailboxes are filling up with letters from children to a jolly bearded toymaker/reindeer breeder while we frantically shop for the things our children think will make them happy. But are these items really going to spark joy for them in the months—or even weeks—ahead. If we get them everything they want, will it cease to make things special or rob them of their creativity? Plus, they’ve got too many toys already. Explaining to our kids the benefits of embracing a more minimalist lifestyle can seem challenging, but it actually doesn’t have to be in practice . Christine Koh, the co-author of Minimalist Parenting: Enjoy Modern Family Life More By Doing Less , explained to NPR   that   it’s about “tuning into what your kids are interested in and what they want to do to kind of go the path of least resistance.” If you’re trying to steer your kids toward a more minimalist lifestyle even as the holidays approach, here are several...

Santa works hard, but even he gets to take Christmas Day off. Moms, on the other hand, don’t get to rest until the presents are opened, and the gift wrap is cleaned up, and the decorations are put away, and …wait, now it’s time to get ready for New Year’s Eve. Sigh. It’s never-ending, and inevitably, things get missed sometimes — but Jana Kramer is learning to be OK with that. The country singer and mom of Jolie Rae, 6, and Jace Joseph, 3, with ex-husband Mike Caussin opened up to Tausi Insider about the challenges of the holiday season as a single mom, and the way she’s planning to cope with everything this year. “Look, it’s exhausting, especially being a single mama,” Kramer tells Tausi Insider about balancing a career and kids and a social life. Add the pressures of the holiday season in, and it can feel like you’re dro...

Reddit Dad Pays for One Daughter’s Vacation but Not the Other

Image
Family dynamics can be complicated, and this Reddit dad’s conundrum is proving that things aren’t always so black and white. Taking to the platform’s “Am I The A—hole” forum, the man explains some vacation-related drama going on between him and his daughters, and we — and Reddit — are scratching our heads a bit about who’s the true a—hole in the scenario. The father of two starts by sharing that his eldest daughter, Kate, is 23 years old and lives with him rent- and bill-free after being kicked out of her mother’s home, explaining she “was absolutely terrible in her teenage years. She was rude, disrespectful, and would steal, smoke, skip class, etc.” He shares that Kate “barely finished high school” and didn’t want to go to college, and she’s now working at a fast food restaurant to save for her own apartment, noting that overall she’s “doing a lot better.” He goes on to share that his youngest daughter, Alexa, is 16 and “is the opposite [of Kate]; she’s am...

Jennifer Aniston’s Heartbreaking Infertility Reveal Sends a Message

Image
Jennifer Aniston is tired. She’s tired of people spreading rumors about her, she’s tired of the endless questions about why she doesn’t have kids, but most of all, she’s just plain tired. The Friends star decided to share her heartbreaking infertility story in the December cover story of Allure , because people just won’t leave her alone. It’s a good reminder of exactly why reproductive choices are nobody’s business, ever. In Aniston’s words, she went through “really hard sh*t” in her “late 30s, 40s.” Later, she clarified that at the time, she was actually trying to conceive — and having a very difficult time. “I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,” she told Allure . “All the years and years and years of speculation … It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yoursel...

Katy Perry Reflects on Life as a Mom

Image
Katy Perry is reflecting on her approach to parenting now that she’s fully settled into the groove of motherhood. The singer, 38, who shares daughter Daisy Dove, 2, with her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom, 45, recently gushed to ET Canada about her journey as a mom, exclaiming, “No one tells you about the first six weeks of having your first child — What? This is crazy! You’re feeding in the same corner of the same room for six weeks straight thinking, ‘Will I ever leave this house? And if I do, will they be OK?'” Once the craziness subsided, though, Perry was able to find bliss in “The most mundane, beautiful things. You get this surge of joy back and it just makes everything come to life,” she explained. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom sweetly hint that they're ready to grow their family again. The couple already share an adorable daughter, Daisy Bloom. https://t.co/PEjB6l1Mvr — Tausi Insider (@Tausi Insider) August 2, 2022 The blissfulness she...
