Nick and Vanessa Lachey Welcome Daughter Brooklyn Elisabeth

Nick Lachey Vanessa Lachey Welcome Daughter

The soundtrack of Nick Lachey‘s life just got even sweeter.

The singer welcomed his second child with wife Vanessa on Monday, Jan. 5, the new mama announced on her website.

Daughter Brooklyn Elisabeth Lachey — who was born at 5:17 p.m., weighing 7 lbs., 15 oz. and measuring 21 inches long — joins big brother Camden John, 2.

“I have been dreaming of this moment for as long as I can remember, the day I was going to meet my little girl. A friend recently told me how magical today was going to be because it’s the day I would meet my best friend,” Vanessa writes.

“I can’t even begin to tell you how it felt to hold her in my arms for the very first time. Mommy, Daddy and big brother Cam love you so much already, Brooklyn!”

It’s been a busy time for the growing family since their July announcement that they were expecting a baby girl.

Despite trying to keep up with an active toddler throughout her pregnancy, Vanessa, who showed off her bump on a beach in September, still managed to make it all look “effortless,” according to Nick, 41.

However, the mom-to-be told American Baby in November that her approach to parenthood was simple. “Worrying is a waste of time … Every mother out there knows what she’s doing whether she believes it yet or not,” said Vanessa, 34.

But it was The Sing-Off host who wondered how his future as a father-of-two would work out. “I can’t imagine loving a child more than I love my son, so I guess it’s just gonna be a different kind of love,” Nick, who was on hand for Vanessa’s baby shower, told PEOPLE.

Days before Brooklyn’s arrival, the Lacheys celebrated the holidays with a sweet snapshot of mother and son sharing a smooch while dad Nick embraced his wife’s baby belly.

A New Year — and a new baby!

Actors Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively welcomed their first child in December, the New York Post‘s Page Six reports.

Shortly after Lively, 27, announced her pregnancy on her lifestyle website, Preserve, she kicked off a series of stylish ensembles that showed off her growing belly.

“Have you seen me!?” she joked to PEOPLE in October. “I’m gonna amp up my style by wearing things that are stretchier — because that’s all that fits!”

As for Reynolds, 37, he pitched in by throwing out a few ideas on a possible name.

“On the plane over here I was trying to think of baby names. I don’t want a name that’s anything pretentious or, like, Hollywood-y,” he joked in October. “So I’m going with Excalibur Anaconda Reynolds … that’s if it’s a girl.”

But all kidding aside, Reynolds couldn’t contain his excitement over becoming a father.

“I’m just excited about having a buddy,” he told PEOPLE. “For a lot of new dads, you tend to dwell on the mistakes you don’t want to make. I’m at that stage still where I’m focused primarily on being open and understanding and leaving a lot of room for error.”

Cameron Diaz Marries Benji Madden

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden sure are off to a sweet start in 2015. The couple wed at their home in Beverly Hills on Monday, a source tell PEOPLE.

The pair, who have been dating since May, got engaged just before Christmas.

“Getting married is the next step when you are totally in love and comfortable with someone,” a source tells PEOPLE. “Cameron has found true happiness.”

Over the weekend, the couple hosted an intimate rehearsal dinner at their Beverly Hills pad for family and friends, including Drew Barrymore, Joel Madden and Nicole Richie, a source tells PEOPLE.

The pair were also spotted at Il Cielo Saturday night, where “they were with a small group and had a really romantic table setting with rose petals and candles,” says a restaurant onlooker. “It looked like they were celebrating.”

Diaz, 42, also celebrated her impending nuptials with a bachelorette party over the weekend, says the source. Diaz spent Sunday night at a Los Angeles-area hotel with her girlfriends.

Party rental trucks and bunches of white flowers began arriving Monday morning to the gated community where Diaz and Madden live. And celebrity wedding planner Yifat Oren (she planned the couple’s rehearsal dinner and has planned weddings for Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman and Diaz’s close friend Barrymore) was also spotted arriving at their home Monday.

A huge tent was put up on Diaz’s property for the ceremony and reception – the latter dimly lit with lots of candles and mostly white flowers. Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow were among several celebrity guest in attendance. Benji’s twin brother, Joel Madden, was also spotted arriving at their home in the early afternoon.

“There is a lot of security and they are trying to keep the wedding hush-hush by telling neighbors that Cameron is having a pre-Golden Globes party tonight,” another source tells PEOPLE. “It will start past dark tonight. They are setting things up in the lush backyard.”

Zoë Saldana Welcomes Twin Sons Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio

Zoe Saldana Welcomes Twin Sons

Zoë Saldana‘s baby bliss is out of this world.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star has welcomed twin sons with her husband, artist Marco Perego, PEOPLE confirms.

“Cy Aridio and Bowie Ezio Perego-Saldana were born Thursday, Nov. 27 in Los Angeles,” Saldana’s rep tells PEOPLE. “Mother and sons are happy and healthy.”

“Our boys Cy and Bowie are finally here. Marco and I wanted to thank you for your beautiful wishes and for your patience,” the actress Tweeted Friday. “Happy #2015! Starting our New Year with a full house.”

Despite rumors that she was expecting, Saldana, 36, stayed mum throughout the beginning of her pregnancy — until she was photographed bumping bellies with costar Chris Pratt during their July press tour.

But showing off her burgeoning belly in a white dress while posing next to Pratt was only the start to her stunning series of bump-friendly frocks.

“Whatever it is you’re feeling internally, doesn’t mean that you have to look it,” Saldana, who refused to let pregnancy symptoms put a damper on her style, told PEOPLE. “Make an effort and look beautiful because it’s a beautiful time.”

In October, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Saldana and Perego — who wed in summer 2013 — would be welcoming twin boys.

“She is beside herself happy over it all,” the source said.

Jeremy Renner’s Wife Sonni Pacheco Files for Divorce

Jeremy Renner and Wife Sonni Pacheco Split

Less than a year after quietly tying the knot, Oscar-nominated actor Jeremy Renner and wife Sonni Pacheco are ending their marriage.

The actress and model filed papers to end her 10-month union with Renner, 43, PEOPLE has confirmed.

It appears the split is contentious: court papers that Pacheco filed earlier this month demand The Hurt Locker actor return her passport, which she claims was stolen, as well as her birth certificate and social security card.

She cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, and says their prenuptial agreement should be voided because it’s based on “fraud.”

Pacheco is also asking for physical custody of their daughter, Ava Berlin, 21 months, as well as spousal support, use of their Range Rover and for Renner to pay for her moving expenses and rent.

The duo have been notably quiet about their relationship, with Renner only confirming the union in September – months after they exchanged vows.

“I have tried to protect my family’s privacy, my wife’s privacy. I don’t need her to get hammered with my life,” he told Capitol File magazine while confirming his marriage. “Privacy issues are important because I want her to go about her day without being bothered.”

Renner’s rep has not commented on the split.

Sofia Vergara Engaged to Joe Manganiello

Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara engaged

Taking the next step! Sofia Vergara is engaged to her boyfriend of six months, Joe Manganiello, a source confirms to Us Weekly. According to the insider, the Magic Mike star popped the question on Christmas. “He wanted to do it in front of her family,” the source tells Us.

The Modern Family star, 42, showed off her massive new engagement ring while celebrating the holiday and Manganiello’s 38th birthday in Hawaii on Monday, Dec. 29.

Us Weekly exclusively confirmed the Colombian beauty was dating the True Blood hunk this past July. The news came just two months after Vergara called off her engagement to Nick Loeb, whom she had dated on and off since 2010.

“Sofia is Joe’s dream girl!” an insider told Us at the time. “He’s been smitten with her for years.”

The feeling has clearly become mutual. Ever since they stepped out together over the summer in New Orleans, the couple have been inseparable, even spending Thanksgiving with Vergara’s family.

On Sunday, Dec. 28, Vergara gave her now-fiance a birthday shout-out, captioning a photo of them in a loving embrace looking happier than ever: “Happy happy bday to my love and best friend. to the one that makes me laugh like crazy! have a wonderful year babe!!!” See more hot pics of Joe and Sofia.
