Cupid’s Advice: 

Want to share if your baby is a boy or a girl with your family, friends, or heck, the Internet? Take a cue from Kardashian’s reveal of her celebrity baby news and get creative! Cupid has some ideas on how to have a fun gender reveal:

1. Keep it sweet and simple: Make copies of a recent ultrasound and put it in a colored frame (blue or pink) for a subtle but lasting reveal. The color association keeps the traditional value of the reveal — with a new twist of adding your child’s first photograph.

Reality TV couple Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried are planning a celebrity wedding in January, and we may hear about a celebrity pregnancy soon after! According to Wetpaint.com, after the famous couple marries, they’re  going to focus on having celebrity kids. In a Q&A on Hartsock’s blog, The Bachelorette star answered questions from fans about their plans for the future, including how many baby Siegsocks they want to have. “We will see but maybe 3?” the reality TV star revealed. It looks like we won’t have to wait long because she sees them in five years as “married, kids, dogs, traveling, and doing what we love.”

The latest celebrity news is that this soon-to-be-married reality TV couple is already talking about celebrity kids. How do you know when it’s time to have children with your partner?

Cupid’s Advice:

Are you and your love beginning to think about starting a family like this famous couple but aren’t sure you’re completely ready for what’s in store? Cupid knows it can be tough, so here are three ways to know when you and your partner should have kids:

1. You both have pure motives: As much as we hate to say it, sometimes, people want children for the wrong reasons. Having kids isn’t a bandage that will fix a relationship in distress. For these reality stars, decison-making can be a little tough since they’ve only known each other for a short period of time. Make sure you and your partner know what’s ahead and the journey you will go through together.

2. The timing works: Have you accomplished what you want to thus far in your life? Are you done with school, confident about finances, settled with your job, and happy with where you live? Check all of these important boxes before having kids.

3. You are healthy and happy: Being healthy and happy is another important aspect to consider when you’re having children. A mother’s actions and attitude rub off on a child, so it is crucial to be in a good mindset while pregnant and as a new mom.

Cupid’s Advice: 

In a relationship, it is important to support your partner, and that includes respecting their past. For Perry, that means being comfortable with her man’s celebrity ex, the mother to his children. No partnership is perfect, but you can do your best to navigate rough waters by being honest, kind, and patient when it comes to your partner’s obligations:

1. Understand if there’s distance: Depending on how long you have been together or where you stand in the relationship, your partner might not be ready to introduce you to their kid. Remember that this is okay and everyone moves at their own speed.

2. Respect the ex: Be careful about passing judgement or getting directly involved in their relationship. Yes, you are the partner and are a priority, but they are parents together, so their children are high on their list of priorities as well.

According to UsMagazine.com, the British actor’s reps stated, “I can confirm that Jude Law and Catherine Harding are expecting a child together in the spring. Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child.” The Sherlock Holmes star is the father to sons Rafferty, 17 and Rudy, 11 and daughter Iris, 13, whom he shares with ex Sadie Frost. He also has a daughter Sophia, 4, with celebrity ex Samantha Burke. 

These celebrity exes are still happy to co-parent Law’s fifth celebrity kid. Here are some ways to determine how many children to have!

Cupid’s Advice:

It can be difficult to decide how many children to bring into the world. Although Law and Harding just went through a celebrity break-up, the actor still wants to be involved in his fifth celebrity kid’s life. It all comes down to the two people in the relationship and what they want for their life in the long run. Cupid has some ideas below to help you determine how many children to have:

1. Talk to your partner: Blood will always be thicker than water. Determine with your partner if you want to raise a huge family, just have one child, or not have any at all. The key here is to come to a mutual agreement. It’s crucial to be on the same page as your spouse. Discuss how you can make it work if you don’t plan for it and get pregnant anyways. It’s also great to talk with your own family about the family you want to create!

2. Discuss your finances, health, and happiness: It’s smart to map out all of your options and the factors that take a toll on the choices you make. Your financial stability and the state of your health and happiness play a huge role in determining how many children you want to have. Make sure that you can afford to have more children and that you have the room for them in your house and car. If you don’t have the room, devise a plan to make it work if that’s the outcome you want. You also want to welcome children into a healthy and happy environment.

This also includes figuring out how to successfully give each child the individual attention that they need and deserve. It’s all about finding a nice balance.
