Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis Welcome a Daughter

Ashton Kutcher Mila Kunis Welcome Daughter

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are parents!

The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, on Tuesday, Sept. 30, PEOPLE confirms.

“She’s here and healthy,” a source tells PEOPLE.

Kunis, 31, and Kutcher, 36, have had an eventful year.

In February, their engagement was confirmed, followed by their baby news in March.

Soon after, Kunis told Ellen DeGeneres that she was planning on an epidural-free birth. “The hospital that I’m going to be laboring in does a midwife, you know, doula type of thing,” she said.

“I’m going to do it as all natural as I possibly can unless there’s an emergency or something that should go wrong. I did this to myself, I might as well just do it right. I wanted this!”

The former That ’70s Show costars, who were first rumored to be dating in April 2012, have been happily preparing for their baby girl’s arrival, with Kunis attending prenatal Pilates and yoga throughout her pregnancy and Kutcher doting on her.

“Ashton is super excited,” his Two and a Half Men costar, Jon Cryer, recently told PEOPLE. “Ashton has even been excited every time we had a child actor on set. He loves kids and could not be more stoked to have a child.”

As for Kunis, she told W magazine in July that she was eager to scale back her work commitments after becoming a mom.

“I have never wanted to be the person who only has business on her mind,” she said. “To me, this job has always been a hobby that turned into a great profession, but I don’t eat and breathe acting. I’m sure Meryl Streep has a very different point of view. But I’m excited about being a full-time mom.”

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes Welcome a Daughter

Eva Mendes Pregnant Expecting First Child Ryan Gosling

Hey, it’s a girl!

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes welcomed a daughter on Friday, Sept. 12, PEOPLE confirms. She is the first child for both actors.

Mendes, 40, and Gosling, 33, began dating in 2011, costarring in the 2012 drama The Place Beyond the Pines.

PEOPLE confirmed the pregnancy in July, but the couple kept Mendes’s growing baby bump under wraps for months.

“Their lives completely changed as soon as Eva got pregnant. They used to travel all over the place together and go on hikes with their dogs. [But in the past few months] she barely left the house,”  a source previously told PEOPLE. “Ryan has been taking care of her, picking up food and running errands. He has been very supportive of keeping things a secret.”

Though they hid the happy news, an insider told PEOPLE the stars couldn’t be more thrilled to expand their family.

“This has been a long time coming,” the pal said of the very private parents-to-be. “Ryan and Eva definitely discussed children before. She knows how much he wants to be a dad and he’s going to be an amazing father.”

Prince William & Kate Are Expecting Second Child

Prince William & Kate Are Expecting Second Child

There’s another royal baby on the way!

Princess Kate is expecting her second child.

“Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child,” said the official announcement Monday morning.

“The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.”

The statement continued: “As with her first pregnancy, The Duchess is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Her Royal Highness will no longer accompany The Duke of Cambridge on their planned engagement in Oxford today.

“The Duchess is being treated by doctors at Kensington Palace.”

Kate and Prince William, both 32, welcomed son George in July 2013, and from the moment he was born, the third in line to the throne has captivated royal-watchers around the world.

From his first play date to learning how to walk, the chubby-cheeked toddler – who William calls “a little rascal” – has kept his proud parents on their toes.

As for the arrival of his sibling, Kate is believed to be fewer than three months pregnant.

When she was carrying Prince George, she was admitted to the hospital suffering from the same illness before she was eight weeks along.

Monday’s announcement came, in part, as a result of her having to pull out of that day’s appearance in Oxford with William Monday. The Palace is now reviewing her upcoming engagements, including her two-day visit to Malta scheduled for later this month.

She was also due to join William at brother-in-law Prince Harry’s Invictus Games later this week.

Scarlett Johansson Welcomes Daughter Rose Dorothy

Scarlett Johansson Welcomes Daughter Dorothy-Rose Romain Dauriac

It’s a girl!

Scarlett Johansson and fiancé Romain Dauriac have welcomed their first child, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

Daughter Rose Dorothy was born in New York City. The baby’s middle name is an homage to Johansson’s grandmother, whom she called “the first Francophone in my family” while accepting her honorary César in Paris last February.

“Mother and daughter are doing well,” publicist Marcel Pariseau tells the Associated Press in a statement.

Further information is not being released at this time.

The actress has had plenty to celebrate in her personal life lately, including an engagement that came six months before PEOPLE confirmed in March that the couple were expecting a baby.

“I’m very happy. Being engaged is an exciting time to enjoy and really savor,” Johansson, 29, has said of Dauriac, a French journalist.

While never addressing the pregnancy, the mom-to-be let her baby belly do the talking, debuting her bump days after the news broke and, more recently, while stepping out for ice cream with Dauriac in mid-August.

Joan Rivers Dies at 81

Joan Rivers Dead

Joan Rivers, a raucous and often-ubiquitous comedic presence on TV and nightclubs since the 1960s, has died. She was 81.

“It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother, Joan Rivers,” daughter Melissa said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

“She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided for my mother. Cooper and I have found ourselves humbled by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers we have received from around the world. They have been heard and appreciated.

“My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon.”

Rivers stopped breathing during a surgical procedure on her vocal cords last week and had to be rushed from the clinic to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Her daughter, Melissa immediately flew from Los Angeles to the Manhattan medical facility, where Joan reportedly had been placed in a medically induced coma.

In a statement over the weekend, Melissa Rivers said, “We are keeping our fingers crossed,” and thanked those who expressed their support as her mother fought for her life.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Are Married!

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Married

 

Just call them Mr. and Mrs. Pitt!

After nine years and six children together, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have married in France, PEOPLE has confirmed with multiple sources. The news was first reported by the Associated Press.

The wedding was held Saturday at Château Miraval in the village of Correns, where the couple first settled in 2008 and have since performed extensive renovations. The wine-growing estate has a 35-room main house, an ancient chapel and a working vineyard spread over 1,100 acres.

The ceremony came two years after the couple’s 2012 engagement, when Jolie, 39, first showed off the custom sparkler that Pitt, 50, designed for her.

Naturally, the pair’s children were on hand to celebrate: Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and 6-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

In May, Jolie spoke to PEOPLE about the couple’s low-key, kid-centric marriage plans.

“We’re just waiting for it to be the right time with the kids, with work, when it feels right,” she said. “We talk about it occasionally, and the kids talk about it with us.

“Which is verging on hysterical, how kids envision a wedding. They will in a way be the wedding planners. It’s going to be Disney or paintball – one or the other! We’ve got a lot of different personalities in the house. They’ve got some strong opinions. It will be fun. That’s the important thing. When we do it, it will feel like a great day for our family.”

Jolie also spoke about how supportive Pitt had been through her 2013 double mastectomy and ensuing recovery.

“We’ve been through so much,” she said. “We’ve gotten a lot closer, which I think naturally happens with raising a family together.”

It has turned out to be an exceptionally big year for the couple, with Pitt filming his upcoming WWII drama Fury and Jolie directing her upcoming WWII drama Unbroken.

Although their diverging schedules often kept them on opposite sides of the world while shooting, Jolie recently revealed that the pair wrote each other love letters to stay connected.

“We decided to be of that time, when we could imagine he was in the European theater and I was in the Pacific theater,” she said, “and we wrote handwritten letters to each other that were very connecting for us, thinking of the people that were separated for months, if not years, at a time back then.”

And a little thing like a wedding isn’t slowing down the perennially globe-trotting family: They’re set to begin shooting an intimate, character-driven drama, By the Sea, in Malta – their first on-screen reunion since 2005’s scorching Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

“I wrote something a few years ago for Brad and me,” Jolie told PEOPLE of her script for By the Sea. “Just for fun. Just an independent little art piece. Because we don’t get to do those as much as we’d like. But it’s something really small and experimental.”
