Josh Kelley Gushes Over Adopted Baby
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Celebrity Babies,
Katherine Heigl‘s husband thinks that their adopted baby is “awesome.” At least now we can rest assured that they don’t plan on returning her.
Musician Josh Kelley gushed about Nancy Leigh, a 10-month-old Korean girl with special needs he and Katherine adopted earlier this month, during a concert on Ohio on Friday night.
On the verge of tears, Josh shouted, “We adopted a baby from Korea, me and my girl, and she’s awesome, dude! This girl is the bomb!”
Earlier in the week, Josh sung a song he wrote about the baby—nicknamed ‘Naleigh’—at a performance at Miami University. It included the lines, “Just to see you in mommy’s arms is all I need.”
Katherine, 30, was “thrilled” to welcome Nancy into her home, revealing that she has wanted to adopt a Korean baby since she was a child: “It’s been a big part of my life and my family. My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 1970s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do. I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen. Not everybody is down with that, not everybody thinks that.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Celebrity Babies,
Just a week after revealing their adoption plans, Katherine Heigl and husband Josh Kelley are showing off their new baby.
The 10-month-old girl, who came from Korea, has been named Nancy Leigh after the actress’ mother (Nancy) and adopted sister (Margaret Leigh). Naleigh (their daughter’s nickname) comes approximately a year after the couple began the adoption process.
The family photos were posted on the Jason Heigl Foundation’s website. The organization, created in honor of Katherine’s deceased brother, raises awareness of inhumane animal treatment in addition to providing medical and placement needs.

Matthew McConaughey’s Bandit Boy
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies,
Matthew McConaughey calls his son “the fruit bandit.”
The 39-year-old actor and his partner Camila Alves, who is pregnant with their second child, came up with the unusual nickname for 14-month-old Levi because he can’t stop eating healthy foods.
Referring to 100m sprint world record holder Usain Bolt, Matthew said, “Levi is doing terrific waiting for his little bro or sis… we had to super child proof the new house because he’s motoring around like Usain Bolt—Camila and I can barely keep up. We call him the fruit bandit ‘cause if there’s fruit out, he’s on it, taking it and eating it. He’s getting bigger, more fun, smarter and craftier by the day.”
Matthew added that the whole family is excited about the new arrival, which is due at the end of the year and have started trying to guess the sex: “Above and beyond all other news, the most exciting thing is my lady Camila and I got another baby on the way… not sure if it’s a boy or girl but we have our instincts… what are you thinking?”

Ashlee Simpson Credits Bonding With Son to Yoga
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies,
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz says that yoga helped her bond with her son.
The 24-year-old star, who has a nine-month-old baby, Bronx Mowgli, with husband Pete Wentz, loved doing the low-impact stretching exercises when she was pregnant as it made her feel closer to her baby.
“Your body is changing, and it’s such an amazing time to feel that connection. I did prenatal yoga, which was a nice way to mellow down and focus on me and Bronx. Being pregnant was the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. Except for the cupcakes!”
Ashlee enjoyed being pregnant, adding that it gave her valuable time to adjust to the way her life was changing: “I’ve grown up so much. The great thing about being pregnant is that you have nine months and it really does prepare you. Being a mom’s so empowering and incredible. I’m one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that’s where the best moments come from.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal Admires Kate Winslet
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies,
Maggie Gyllenhaal looks to Kate Winslet for parenting skills.
The 31-year-old actress, who has two-year-old daughter Ramona with husband Peter Sarsgaard, is in awe of the way the Revolutionary Road actress raises her two children.
“I try to protect my personal life, and most of all my daughter. But I also recall things people I admire have said in print that have helped me. I’ve thought, ‘Oh, wow, Kate Winslet thinks that way about parenting,’ or, ‘Meryl Streep thinks that about acting.’ So I do also believe that it’s good to let a little bit out.”
Despite wanting to reveal some aspects of her private life to her fans, Maggie is not interested in hearing what people think about her. Referring to internet search engine Google, she explained, “You can’t go and Google yourself. You just can’t. It doesn’t feel good. Just step away from Google, absolutely. How can you ever choose things in your life that will please everyone? The same goes for reviews. I can do work I’m proud of, but then people don’t like it and it just ties you up in knots.”
