Here’s to the newlyweds! Singer-songwriter James Blunt and Sofia Wellesley celebrated their wedding in Majorca in front of close family and friends on Friday, Sept. 19, Daily Mail reports. The couple previously married in a private ceremony at a London registry office on Sept. 5.

Blunt, 40, and the British socialite quietly exchanged vows earlier this month one day after attending Elton John’s annual End of Summer party in Windsor. “Sofia joked to friends that she was almost too hungover to get married,” an insider said.

After their bigger affair yesterday, the bride and groom whisked away in a bronze VW Beetle. The “You’re Beautiful” singer wore a black suit while his bride wore a long-sleeve lace dress and kept her blonde locks away from her face in a low bun.

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.”

Liv Tyler Pregnant Expecting Second Child

There’s a baby on the way for Liv Tyler!

The Leftovers actress is expecting a child, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Tyler, 37, is already mom to Milo, 9, her son with ex-husband Royston Langdon.

She is dating Dave Gardner, a British football agent and friend of David Beckham, who appeared with the soccer star in his documentary, David Beckham into the Unknown. The couple has been photographed out and about together over the past four months.

In 2008, the star spoke to Self about loving pregnancy the first time around. “Experiencing a child growing in your body just gives you such a newfound respect for the human body,” she said.
“It’s just fascinating. It gives you this sense and this feeling of timelessness, this sort of evolution of man and what a miracle it is that you get pregnant at all. It’s not like you take a special pill and this pill makes the baby grow. The baby just grows, without your even doing anything but breathing and sleeping and eating. That is an amazing feeling. You feel so proud of your body.”

Tyler’s rep has not commented. E! Online was first to report the news.

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.

“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.
