Two of the most talked about names in pop culture are definitely giving us something else to talk about. Kim Kardashian and Kate Middleton have a babies on their brains. According to UsMagazine.com, the ladies are planning for a baby number two in the near future. Both Kardashian and Middleton were due last July for their first bundles of joy, and from the looks of it, they may be pregnant again around the same time. The 33-year-old reality star gave birth to daughter North West on June 15th of last year, whilst the 32-year-old Duchess followed shortly after, giving birth to Prince George on July 22nd. Now the mommies are ready to add another to their families. “Kanye wants a boy!” says source of the Kardashian clan. Although Kardashian is no stranger to the limelight, she intends on keeping the next pregnancy under wraps for as long as possible (thanks to the criticism and backlash received in the past). “Kim won’t tell anyone until she’s five months along,” the source says. “She doesn’t want people scrutinizing her body.” The royal on the other hand, has her fingers crossed on being pregnant “by Christmas,” the Royals’ source told Us. “Will and Kate have siblings similar in age, and they want the same for George. They’re ready!”

How do you decide how many children to have?

Cupid’s Advice:

Building a family is definitely one of the most common, as well as important, conversations to have with your partner. Whether to have a small or big family, and in some cases no family at all. You may want 3 children, and your partner may only want one. So, how do you exactly decide on the number? Cupid has a few tips:

1. Agree on a good number: As mentioned earlier, if you and your partner are stuck on the size of a family to have, find a good number that you both can agree on. If you want three and they want one, maybe agree on two, instead. A little bit of compromise can go a long way.

2. Think of your finances: Are you both ready to take on your first child or possibly even more? Will you be able to provide, and maybe even go beyond that? Ask each other these questions. Your family size should be based on what you all can afford. If one baby is putting a dent in your pockets, consider waiting until the timing is absolutely right and you are financially ready.

3. Consider each other’s wants: If your partner truly only wants a certain number of kids, take this into deep consideration. Just brushing it off can cause a lot of damage in the relationship. Your partner may even begin to resent you or you may notice an attitude change over time. Talk it out and come to a common ground. If more children are going to be added, set up a timeline. If not, keep it in the back of your mind as a possibility.

Some argue that men and women CAN be ‘just friends’ and steer clear of a romantic relationship. However, sometimes friendships with members of the opposite sex can turn into something more. Below, Cupid has five celebrity couples who began their romantic journey in the friend zone.

1. Jordin Sparks and Jason DeRulo: At first, Jordin had a boyfriend and Jason was single. Then, Jason had a girlfriend and Jordin was single. The pair maintained a friendship while they both had different significant others, but once both of their status update’s read ‘single’, they turned their relationship into something more!

2. Kate Middleton and Prince William: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met back in 2001 at St. Andrew’s University in Fife while studying Art History. At first, they were just friends, but their friendship turned into romance when the pair shared a flat together with two other students during their second and third years.

3. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: It seems as though their relationship moved quickly, but these stars were friends long before their walk down the aisle. Kim and Kanye first met back in 2004 while Kim was married to Damon Thomas. After Kim’s divorce to Kris Humphries in 2011, Kanye was there to pick up the pieces, and the rest is history!

4. Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher: They may have been Jackie and Kelso for years on ‘That 70’s Show,’ but according to a source, the pair did not get along while playing each other’s love interest. It wasn’t until Ashton split from Demi Moore that these stars became friends! Now, Mila is pregnant with Ashton’s baby and plans to take a trip down the aisle with him soon.

5. Beyonce and Jay-Z: These A-listers were friends and talked regularly over the phone for 18 months before they went on their first date in 2000. In 2003, the couple finally admitted to the public that they were dating. Five years later, Beyonce became Mrs. Carter.

There is nothing more exciting than welcoming little bundles of joy into the world. In the realm of celebrities, baby news is always the best news. Over the years, our beloved starlets have enticed us with their unique maternity wear, adorable pregnancy announcements, and awe-inspiring sentiments about expecting. We’ve pulled together the best of the best, with some of the most publicized pregnancies over the past few years.

1. Catharine ‘Kate’ Middleton: Undoubtedly, Kate had one of the most followed pregnancies of all time. With the whole world watching with avid anticipation of the birth of royal baby, the duchess served as a maternity style-icon throughout the duration of her pregnancy. Kate kept her style classy, utilizing simple silhouettes, classic dresses, and comfortable coats as her staple pieces.  She and husband Prince William, welcomed a baby boy, George Alexander Louis, on July 22, 2013. We weren’t even surprised when her baby-weight seemed to melt away mere weeks after bringing George into the world. Bow down to the Duchess of Cambridge.

2. Kim Kardashian: She and now fiancé, Kanye West, welcomed a baby girl, North West, on June 15, 2013. Kim’s pregnancy is most famous for three reasons: A. Her crazy maternity wear. B. Her famous hubby-to-be (#Kimye5eva) and C. ‘North West’ is the name of her baby. In terms of wardrobe Kim made some daring choices. The reality star has served as a style icon for years, and during her pregnancy she still didn’t disappoint. She never shied away from leather pants or killer six-inch heels. Also, with Kanye at her side, the two are obviously a power-couple. But most importantly, the adorable North West is both wide-eyed and beautiful like her mother, and already has a dominant personality like her father.

3. Mila Kunis: Currently, the actress and Ashton Kutcher are expecting their first child. Mila’s pregnancy has graced Google’s top search list since the news broke. The engaged couple began dating in 2012, four years after they costarred together on That ’70s Show.  Mila is also a Wonder Woman mommy-to-be, keeping up with yoga, publicly rocking skinny jeans, and emphasizing her pregnancy glow by canoodling with Ashton. With her and Ashton’s killer looks and crazy personalities, the baby is bound to be a legend.

4. Gisele Bündchen: Mother of two, both of the Brazilian beauty’s pregnancies were for the books. From controversial pregnancy and motherhood comments to bikini baby-belly photos, the former Victoria’s Secret supermodel never failed to impress us. An advocate of breast-feeding, healthy eating, and natural birth Gisele has set the standards for women. Benjamin, now four resembles his daddy’s spitting image. Vivian is now 14-months-old, and has been seen rocking UGG baby booties and designer jeans to match her glowing mama. Of course with a hubby like Tom Brady, we really aren’t shocked that both kiddos adorn the tabloids with their cuteness.

5. Scarlett Johansson: This woman can actually do it all. The renowned actress is expecting her first baby with fiance, Romain Dauriac and is still currently filming forThe Avengers: Age of Ultron. As a mother-to-be and a -bride-to-be, Scarlett seems determined to balance work, love, and family while retaining her own individuality. Not only will she give birth to a stunning child, but will undoubtedly have a glorious wedding as well.

Although Hollywood is still the number one stomping ground for the rich and famous, many celebrities are choosing to live abroad in an effort to protect their privacy and keep their personal lives from the public eye. Sure, there are European paparazzi, but even so, life is much more manageable. For celebrities with children, it’s particularly important to give their families some sense of normalcy. Despite their distance from Los Angeles or New York City, American fans still love them. With this thought in mind, we developed a list of our five favorite celebrity couples that live across the pond:

1. Victoria and David Beckham: The fashion designer and her soccer star husband have recently returned to England after living in Los Angeles while David played “football” for the LA Galaxy. Now that his contract has ended stateside, the family of six is returning to their roots and looking for a new home in West London, close to the children’s school. Still, they aren’t giving up the California sunshine for good: It’s thought that the Beckham’s will spend the holidays in Los Angeles.

2. Kate Middleton and Prince William: The future queen and king of England expanded their family this summer, welcoming Prince George, who’s now third in line for the throne. This new generation has stolen hearts all over the world with their laidback approach to royalty. Not only are the new parents handling most of the baby duties themselves (Prince William even changed the first nappy), but they also released an informal first family photo, taken by Middleton’s father at her family’s Bucklebury estate.

3. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin: The GOOP founder and Coldplay frontman have lived in London for over a decade; Paltrow feels so comfortable there that she calls it her “adopted home.” Plus, their children, daughter Apple and son Moses, even have British accents. While they recently relocated to Los Angeles full-time for their kids’ schooling and to be closer to Paltrow’s mother and brother, the family will eventually return to the United Kingdom because the movie star believes that the education system is better in England.

4. Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem: This famously-private couple lives in Madrid, Spain, with their children, son Leonardo and daughter Luna. The Spanish-born actors began dating in 2007 and were married in July 2010 in the Bahamas.

5. Kate Hudson and Matthew Bellamy: This California girl bought a house in London in February 2011 and now lives half of the year across the pond with her fiancé, Muse musician Matthew Bellamy. The couple were engaged in April 2011 and welcomed their son, Bingham, in July 2011. The family is often seen out-and-about in the rainy city with Hudson’s parents, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, as well as her nine-year-old son, Ryder.

Royal parents Prince William and Kate Middleton ventured out this Sunday to attend their local church for a service at Crathie Kirk, Balmoral. Prince Charles, Camilla, Prince Phillip and The Queen accompanied the first time parents, but their son Prince George stayed at home with his Nanny, Jessie Webb. This is the couple’s second time leaving baby behind during an outing. The first time came when they attended The Tusk Conservation Awards at The Royal Society in London on September 12^th. According to UsMagazine.com, an eyewitness said that the pair, “Looked very relaxed together,” during the event.

How do you know how often to leave your child with a babysitter?

Cupid’s Advice:

New parents are always hesitant about leaving their little bundle of joy for the first time. Let Cupid help you decide how often to leave your child with a babysitter:

1. For date nights: It’s important to have kid-free date nights at least once or twice a month for the sake of your relationship with your partner. They will help strengthen your bond and improve your family as a whole.

2. When necessary: Sometimes life happens and you’re forced to leave your child with a baby sitter even when you may not want to. This doesn’t make you a bad parent. Just roll with the punches and find a sitter that you trust.

3. During special events: Not many people are fond of having a newborn attend their wedding. For special events like this it’s okay to leave you child at home with a baby sitter.

For those of us who love to follow celebrity news, it’s always fun to follow what the stars wear on their wedding days. Some celebrities choose styles that establish the future trends for other brides, and others choose dresses that more closely mirror their persona, unique sense of style. Given we are in the midst of summer wedding season, here is a look at some of Cupid’s favorite celebrity wedding dresses:

Kate Middleton

As soon as Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their long-anticipated engagement, the world began speculating about what Kate would wear on her wedding day. April 29, 2011, as two billion people around the world watched, the royal wedding dress was revealed. Kate chose a dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The dress was described by The Telegraph (UK) as “a model of sumptuous simplicity, perfectly suited to the sweet and serene style of the woman who is now Duchess of Cambridge and is destined to be the future Queen of England.”

Katie Holmes

Let’s forget for a moment that Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are now divorced, and remember that back in 2006, the couple had a whirlwind romance and welcomed daughter Suri before they celebrated their wedding in Italy. To exchange wedding vows with her movie star husband November 18, 2006, Katie chose a romantic off-the-shoulder gown designed by Giorgio Armani. The designer remarked when Katie first appeared, “It was, by far, the most charged moment of the evening.” Seven-month-old Suri wore an ivory silk dress designed to match her mom’s iconic gown.

Jessica Simpson

When pop star Jessica Simpson married fellow singer Nick Lachey October 26, 2002, she chose a Vera Wang custom strapless dress with a 11-carat Harry Winston pave diamond headband attached to her veil. While the dress was fit for a princess and the wedding seemed like a fairy tale, the marriage between Jessica and Nick did not last. As Jessica looks toward the future and has plans to marry her current beau, Eric Johnson, she speculates when it’s time to pick her next dress, she will choose something low-cut and said, “I want it to be different from what I’ve had before.”

Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani has her own rock star style that is often colorful, bold and daring. When she married fellow musician Gavin Rossdale September 14, 2002, she choose a custom-made dress that was girlie and punk — a perfect mix for her fashion taste. Her dress was John Galliano by Dior and was pink ombre. Gwen liked her dress so much she had a second wedding ceremony, just so she could wear the dress again!

Lisa Ling

Journalist Lisa Ling exchanged wedding vows with Paul Song, a physician, May 26, 2007. The invitation to the wedding provided a sneak peek of what guests could expect from Lisa’s wedding dress, reading “If you’re cool, you’ll dress Asian chic.”  Lisa walked down the aisle wearing a red dress  with a metallic print, designed by Vivienne Tam. The breathtaking dress, while seemingly an unconventional choice, was true to the couple’s Asian-roots and their Asian-inspired wedding ceremony.

According to People, Prince William and Kate Middleton have asked for some assistance in the baby department. The new parents have revealed that former-nanny-to-William, Jessie Webb, has recently been helping out at the couple’s house in north Wales and is likely to be coming along with them when they take a trip to Scotland for a visit with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Author of the upcoming book A Century of Royal Children, Ingrid Seward, says that Webb will assist as a big help who knows how life in the royal family can work. “She knows the ropes and knows what happens… That’s preferred rather than someone new to it all, someone who’d be terrified of it all.”

How do you know who to trust with your children?

Cupid’s Advice:

Finding someone that you can really trust will keep your child safe is a difficult decision to make. You worry what will happen if the wrong situation comes along and how a nanny will really react when it does. Cupid has some advice:

1. Take recommendations: If someone you know uses this great babysitter and goes out all the time on stress-free dates with her husband, ask for the sitter’s number! As long as you trust the opinion of your friend, you’re likely to end up with a helper that you’ll be satisfied with.

2. Set the standard: Want someone that knows CPR? Ask them. Need them to know how to actually cook for your kids instead of getting takeout every day? Request it. Make sure your needs are met. You want your children in a comfortable, safe, healthy environment. Don’t feel like you need to lower your standards just to get a nanny.

3. Do your research: It’s not a crime to ask for references or to do a quick Google search. You’re leaving your loved ones in the hands of someone you want to know you can trust. Sometimes you need to do the extra research and this is one of those times that are worth your time and attention.

For today’s expert post, I want to look at the energy of three celebrity couples who are celebrating exciting times in their relationships: Katy Perry and John Mayer, who are back together and recently released their first duet; Kate Middleton and Prince William, who welcomed their son, Prince George, in July; and Fergie and Josh Duhamel, who are expecting their first child very soon.

Katy Perry and John Mayer: This musically-talented duo is on again — at least for now. It’s becoming difficult to define their love since it tends to change so quickly. Mayer has actually managed to keep his mouth shut about this relationship, unlike his behavior in the past. (Did we really need to know that sex with Jessica Simpson was like a drug?)

When looking at the energy around the couple, it seems like they’re having fun. While they do enjoy each other’s company, what keeps them getting back together is their ability to relate to one another. It’s a level of comfort that they both need at this time.

There’s been buzz about their new duet — and for good reason! Mayer sings that he can see himself growing old with her. How adorable is that?  The only thing is that gushy love eventually ends. The soulful singer has a habit of quickly becoming attached to the woman he’s dating, so only time will tell if they survive past the honeymoon stage.

In their duet, he also wrote that he couldn’t run anymore. He’s finally starting to show signs of getting serious about his love life. During his relationship with Perry, she will help him grow up a bit. Even so, Mayer will become bored and soon move on to the next lady.

Kate Middleton and Prince William: Ever since Kate Middleton and Prince William announced their engagement, the world has been enchanted with the lovely couple. When Kate announced she was pregnant with a royal bundle of joy, we couldn’t wait for the baby to arrive!

We can all finally relax: Prince George is here and has been presented to the world. The Duke and Duchess’s marriage appears to be going strong; in fact, they’ve never been better. Surrounding their relationship is the energy of Princess Diana, as if she watches over them and guides her son. Without a doubt, these two are best friends. They want to keep a low profile and simply enjoy their lives together.

There is another baby energy circling Kate. They want to wait a bit before their next child, but they may not have a choice. Don’t be surprised if she’s soon pregnant with baby number two, which will bring them a daughter.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel: Fergie and Josh Duhamel cannot wait until the arrival of their son. The energy in their relationship has shifted for the better since Fergie got pregnant. Rumors had been circling about Josh’s activities with other women, but now, he’s a bit more centered and focused on family.

Fergie has just legally changed her name from Stacy Ann Ferguson to Fergie Duhamel. It is said that, when you change your name, you change your destiny, so the newly-annointed Mrs. Duhamel has shifted her energy on many levels.

Josh is going to be really close to his son — it’ll be hard to find him in a photo without him. It will cause him to want to work less, while Fergie will be inspired with material for a new album dedicated to the two men in her life and the love she has for them. It’s a very happy time in the Duhamel household. All the best to them!

Now that the Prince George has arrived the speculations about whom William and Kate will choose as godparents has begun. Members of the royal family traditionally have six godparents, three being women and three being men. Many are placing bets that William’s bother, Prince Harry and Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton will be among the chosen, but no one can be sure. Both Harry and Pippa are already closely related to Prince George so William and Kate may fill the six godparent roles with those who they wish to forge ties with. Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine dished to People, “Godparents don’t have to be your best friend. Quite often it is quite the opposite, it can be somebody quite random. Prince George’s christening is set to take place in the fall so speculations will likely continue until then.

How do you select role models for your new arrival?

Cupid’s Advice:

With a new baby come new responsibilities, such as choosing what kind of people to share your bundle of joy with. Cupid has some advice about how to go about selecting roles models for your new arrival:

1. Keep them positive: Growing children are extremely impressionable, so try not to keep any ‘Negative Nancys’ too close. If your child grows up hearing “I can’t,” or, “I’m not good enough to do that,” then the thought will likely rub off on them.

2. Be a role model: As a parent you’ve the one who your children will look up to most. Be your best you and your kids will strive to reach the bar you set.

3. Let them have a say: Each child is different; therefore the role models that each child needs will be different. You and your partner should consider your child’s likes and personality when trying to pick out roles models for them.

According to UsMagazine.com, a day after Kate Middleton gave birth to a healthy boy, both parents decided to show him off to the world. The happy couple emerged outside the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital. In a statement released Tuesday, July 23, the first-time parents said, “We would like to thank the staff at the Lindo Wing and the whole hospital for the tremendous care the three of us have received.”

How do you introduce your newborn child to friends and family?

Cupid’s Advice:

The arrival of a newborn can be challenging, especially if it’s your first child. It comes to no surprise that your friends and family will want to see the baby as soon as he/she is allowed to go home with you, but it’s best to introduce your baby to a small amount of people little by little. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself or the baby will loads of people hovering around you. Cupid has some tips:

1. Start with family: Introduce your new baby to your family first. Start with your parents and your partner’s parents. Don’t allow all family members to come and see the newborn all at once. Doing this could cause your child to become irritated and the stress of so many people surrounding your baby might cause you to become frustrated as well.

2. Let close friends visit: It isn’t healthy to have your newborn outdoors for long periods of time. Since your baby is so young, he/she can catch an illness quicker. If you’re really anxious for your friends to see the baby, let a few of them come to you. Invite one or two friends over to your house when your baby has been fed and is ready for a little interaction.

3. Social media and video chat: Some of your friends and family might not live in the same state as you. In this case, take a few pictures of your newborn and post them to Instagram, Facebook or whatever social networks you use. Also, it would be a good idea to video chat with some of your distant relatives. It’s not as personal as a live visit, but it’s much better than just looking at pictures.

According to People an official statement released Monday morning from Kensington Palace read, “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted this morning to St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London in the early stages of labour.” Prince William was by her side when she was admitted to the hospital just before 6 a.m. The baby’s birth went as planned and the new mother and father gave the media a first glance at their bundle of joy Tuesday afternoon as they left the hospital.

Cupid’s Advice:

Giving birth is one of the hardest things a woman can experience. Cupid has some advice about how you can support your partner while they’re in labor:

1. Music: Labor is a super stressful time for any woman, so playing some music is a great way to keep her as calm as can be. Soothing, mellow tunes will ensure that your significant other is in a good place mentally when the baby finally arrives.

2. Speak Up: Your partner already has enough to worry about so make sure that you act as an advocate for any wants or needs she has. It’s your job to keep comfortable until it’s time for the big push.

3. Be Prepared: Doing your research beforehand will help you know how the birthing process will go. Preparing yourself by watching birthing videos and reading up on what is to come when the baby is on its way out.

How do you soothe your partner’s nerves pre-baby?

Cupid’s Advice: 

Most partners deal with anxiety over a pregnancy because they don’t know what to expect when the baby comes. If it’s the birth of their first child, they don’t know if they’ll be good parents, they worry over the health of their little one and they’re nervous about seeing you in so much pain. Cupid has some advice:

1. Learn about the birth: To help ease your mind and your boo’s, it’s best to learn all about the birthing process before it actually happens. Many couples make the mistake of waiting until the actual delivery date to figure out what to expect – this is the wrong move to make. In order for your significant other to be more engaged and for you to feel more calm when the chaos sets in, you need to do your research. Participate in a birthing class, read pregnancy books and watch some interactive videos. The more prepared you are, the better.

2. Talk to your partner: Take the time to discuss the details of the pregnancy with your loved one, especially if this is going to be your first child together. Talk about what your expectations are and vice versa. You may even want to take this time to come up with a schedule for when the baby comes. Your life and daily activities will change, but your significant other may not be aware of this fact yet.

3. Pack early: Most of the pre-baby stress comes from couples delaying to get certain things done before the baby arrives – like packing for your trip to the hospital. Get your clothing and your baby’s first outfit ready, buy a spare toothbrush, keep extra shampoo and conditioner stocked, etc. Whatever you think you’ll need for your stay at the hospital needs to be already packed and ready to go.

How do you compromise with your partner when it comes to night-time parent duty?

Cupid’s Advice:

Having a baby is a magical experience….until one of you has to get up multiple times during the night. How can the two of you handle the night-time shift of parenthood fairly so you both get a chance to sleep? Don’t worry, Cupid has some suggestions:

1. Alternate days: The two of you can alternate on who ever gets the night shift of parenthood. One night you do it, the other night your partner does it. This way the responsibility is equally split up between the two of you.

2. Weekend/ Weekday: If one of you works while the other stays home, you can split the night shift up by week and weekdays. If you are the one that stays home, then let your partner sleep throughout the night during weekdays while you get up. Then on weekends your partner can get up while you sleep.

3. Divide the night: If you don’t think you can make it through a whole night getting up constantly, then you and your partner should split the night in half. You can stay up late and then your partner can get up early. This way you both will be able to get some sleep every night and your bundle of joy will still be well taken care of.
