Lauren Conrad L auren “LC” Conrad was born on February 1, 1986 and raised in Laguna Beach, . In 2004, the high schooler was approached by MTV to be cast in the reality TV series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. The show documented the lives of the blonde and her friends, including every make-up, break- up, and girl fight that happens in high school. The show aired for three seasons and focused on this close-knit group of friends, including Conrad, Lo Bosworth, , Stephen Colletti, and Talan Torriero. Laguna Beach garnered thousands of viewers and led to many spin-offs. In fact, the ending of the show was what sparked creator Adam Divello and executive producer Liz Gately to create the hit seriesThe Hills.

The Hills focused on the reality TV star’s personal and professional life while she attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. During the show, she also held positions at Teen Vogue and Kelly Cutrone’s PR firm People’s Revolution with friend Whitney Port. Thanks to the infamous fights with her former roommate Heidi Montag and Montag’s boyfriend Spencer Pratt and the whole world wishing that Conrad and longtime friend Brody Jenner would become a celebrity couple, became a phenomenon that no one wanted to end. Bosworth, Cavallari, and newcomer Audrina Patridge were also staples on the show, which lasted for six seasons (although Conrad only appeared in the first four seasons).

As fans know, the now-author had an on-and-off relationship and love with Colletti during her high school years. She later dated bad boy Jason Wahler, even choosing a summer with him over an internship with Teen Vogue in Paris. In 2008, she stepped out with actor Kyle Howard, although their celebrity relationship was never filmed for The Hills. After three years together, the couple ended their relationship in 2011. In February 2012, the Paper Crown designer began dating William Tell, a law student and former guitarist for Something Corporate. The pair moved in together a year later and announced their celebrity engagement in September 2013. They got hitched on September 13, 2014 in a vintage-inspired ceremony in California.

Kirk Knight of Bravo’s ‘Newlyweds’ Details His Hawaiin Honeymoon and Reveals Possible Baby Plans B y Kirk Knight

After spending an entire year planning a wedding, Laura and I were ready for some serious R&R on our honeymoon to Hawaii, our favorite tropical paradise! Our journey across the Pacific took us to Maui, Kauai, and the “big island.” Each island has its own distinct character, and we immersed ourselves in the Aloha culture as soon as we stepped foot off the plane. We are adventure-seekers and spent our days swimming with sea turtles, whale watching, surfing, hiking through bamboo forests, and touring the islands via helicopter. It was truly a fantasy vacation, and now, a little piece of our hearts will forever be in Hawaii.

Kirk and Laura Knight’s Romantic Honeymoon Airs on Bravo

Coming back to the states from such a beautiful honeymoon is a little shocking to the system, but we quickly rejoined our daily life. The holidays were upon us, and we had much to do. Laura had sent me out to run some errands for a party we were hosting, and wouldn’t you know, that’s when I get the call from my favorite fish store that a new order of tropical fish arrived. Trying to be as sneaky as possible, I stopped by to pick up a couple of fish before the party. Unfortunately, my wife knows me a little too well and busted me as soon as it happened. The party turned out great, though, so in the end, all was well in Bethesda, Maryland!

For the most part, Laura and I share the responsibilities we have in the relationship with the exception of house work; that’s where Laura picks up (literally) everything. We do have a maid, so she doesn’t do it all by herself, but I really don’t do much. Okay, I do no housework! I guess we’re still trying to figure out the balance of chores.

Famous Couple Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff Stay Strong Amid Celebrity Gossip B y Emma L. Wells

Like many Bachelor and Bachelorette couples that have come before them, famous couple Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff are facing a spinning rumor mill following the announcement of their celebrity engagement. But this pretty pair is determined not to let the celebrity gossip ruin their happiness! Both reality TV stars have posted recent photos to Instagram to prove that their relationship and love is as strong as ever. According to Wetpaint.com, this weekend, Soules shared a heartwarming photo from filming with the message, “She brings me happiness.”

Bischoff also took to Instagram, posting a snap of the famous couple cuddling on the couch together. When recently asked about the celebrity break-up rumors and tabloid drama, she responded, “You can’t read it. You really just can’t. There’s so much outside noise out there.”

This famous couple clearly isn’t letting celebrity gossip damage their relationship and love. What are some ways to stay strong despite rumors?

Cupid’s Advice:

Just because you’re not a celebrity couple doesn’t mean you don’t have to deal with rumors and gossip. Thanks to social media, news travels fast and people talk. But you can’t let other people’s opinions cause problems in your private relationship. Cupid has some tips on how to rise above the gossip:

1. Turn the other cheek: Ignoring what other people are saying about you is easier said then done. Sometimes, it can be downright impossible, and you’ll start to wonder if there’s any truth to what’s being said. If you’re feeling insecure, you need to approach your partner with your concerns in an honest and non-accusatory way.

2. There’s power in numbers: There are only two opinions in your relationship that matter. It’ll be easier for you and your significant other to fend off rumors when you stick together and remember that the only voices you should listen to are each other’s.

3. Sticks and stones…: If your mother ever told you that words can’t hurt, she lied. Words, especially negative ones, can carry weight and cause damage, and pretending that gossip doesn’t bother you won’t make things any easier. Once you recognize this truth, you need to remember that, while words can be painful, you can definitely be stronger than the people who run the rumor mill.

Famous Couple Brandon and Leah Jenner Announce Celebrity Pregnancy with Cute Instagram Photo B y Jenna Bagcal

One of the most exciting pieces of celebrity news to hear is that your favorite famous couple is pregnant with their first celebrity baby. In Hollywood, news of a celebrity baby spreads quickly, especially when stars take to social media to share their excitement. According to UsMagazine.com, Brandon and Leah Jenner announced via Instagram that they are expecting their first child.

A celebrity pregnancy goes viral very quickly when you’re a famous couple. What are three reasons social media should not be used to make big announcements?

Cupid’s Advice:

Big news such as pregnancies and engagements are something that you may feel tempted to share with your family and friends, but social media may not be the best way to break the news. Here are some of Cupid’s tips for why social media should not be used for big announcements:

1. Social media makes things feel impersonal: When sharing big announcements with your loved ones, the more personal the method of sharing, the better. If possible, tell your family and friends the news about your pregnancy or engagement in person, or schedule to call them on Skype or FaceTime. The moment will feel even more special if you take that extra step.

2. The news you share will be available to all people on your friend lists: While your aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends may be on social media, there are people who you’re not close to that you may not want to share your big news with. Ensure that you know everyone who you’re sharing your big announcements with, and that your frenemy from work won’t find out!

3. Sometimes, unexpected disaster can strike: You may be so excited that you and your sweetheart are finally going to tie the knot, and you may post daily pictures of your road to the altar on your Facebook feed. But sometimes the unexpected can happen and the engagement is over as quickly as it began. Save yourself the embarrassment of having to explain to hundreds of people why Jeremy dumped you (or vice versa) and keep word of the big news limited to your inner circle.

What are some reasons to keep big news off of social media? Leave a comment! Dating Advice: Three Ways Your Relationships and Love Could Be Killing You

B y Amy Cook for Hope After Divorce

When is it okay to end a relationship and love? People differ in their reasons for staying or leaving, but most agree that partnerships should be over when they damage your physical and/or emotional well-being. While we don’t know the reasons behind the surprising celebrity divorces of Patrick Dempsey, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore, we do know that there were longstanding issues that required these famous couples to make a change. If your relationship is giving you stress, depression, or a weakened immune system, it might be time to evaluate whether your love is toxic and needs a change too.

How to Know When to End a Relationship and Love

Stress: Trying to maintain a relationship in a “fight or flight” state of being will surely break down your body’s ability to function normally. Anxiety, high blood pressure, and added stress to your heart compromise your health.

Related Link: Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams File for Celebrity Divorce After Six Years of Marriage

In a June 2013 article titled “How Relationships Can Make You Sick” and published on Healthgram.com, the author references a study conducted at Ohio State University where researchers discovered married men and women who struggled with ongoing concerns about the stability of their relationships and love had higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol. The study also found lower levels of T-cells, which help fight infections.

The research concludes, “Those who were the most anxious about their marriages had 11 percent more cortisol and 11 to 22 percent lower T-cell levels than those who were less anxious. The lead researcher said the results are most likely linked since increased cortisol can reduce T-cell production.” Partnerships plagued with poor communication, jealousy, deceit, fear, anxiety, and conflicting goals all run the risk of creating a chronically stressful environment.

Depression: He may be “killing you softly with his song,” but he is doing some pretty serious damage with his words and actions too. A relationship clouded with mistrust or emotional abuse takes a toll on the partner’s emotional and physical well-being. When negativity leaves cracks in a person’s spirit, depression fills those empty spaces.

In her article “5 Ways a Bad Relationship Can Make You Sick,” relationship expert Marcelina Hardy writes, “When you are arguing with your boyfriend and feeling sick, you don’t love your life. Your love should be something that enriches you. It should make you smile in the morning and feel grateful at night. It should be what lowers stress rather than create it. For these reasons, take steps to improve your relationship, so it doesn’t make you sick. If you’ve tried to solve the problems and it’s just not working, it may be time to consider how much you really need this person in your life.”

If you are sustaining a relationship and love with a partner who is overly critical, constantly suspicious, possessive, or physically violent, it could be making you sick. An unhealthy relationship invites feelings of hopelessness, a fear of abandonment, and a feeling of loss for unfulfilled goals or any hope for happiness.

Dating Advice: It’s Time to Break Up

Weakened immune system: One of the advantages of being in a healthy relationship is a euphoric energy that fuels your day. When depression invades your enthusiasm for life, it affects your lifestyle choices. Exercise becomes a burden, and healthy eating becomes a distraction. Before you know it, you are facing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight gain, and a compromised immune system that is unable to ward off infections and disease.

“Unhealthy relationships can be like that,” writes licensed professional counselor and registered nurse Suzanne Jones in her article “Is Your Relationship Making You Sick.” She elaborates on this dating advice: “Sometimes, in an effort to be supportive and helpful, we find ourselves drowning in unrealistic and endless demands. We can’t bear the thought of hurting this person or letting him down, so we try and try to make adjustments to salvage the relationship. We go to extraordinary lengths to keep this person happy. We sacrifice our peace and happiness for theirs.”

Related Link: How to Be Mindful When It Comes to Relationships and Love

“In an effort to be patient and helpful, we may be putting ourselves in harm’s way,” she adds. “Like the rescue of a drowning person, we are at risk when we get too close and tangled up in an unhealthy person’s problems and issues. These relationships can turn us into a physical and emotional mess.”

Throughout the years, love has been blamed for a number of things. Sometimes, it stinks, hurts, and even bites. At times, people have been accused of giving it a bad name. However, a healthy, strong, solid, and positive relationship isn’t like that. It enhances your life and improves health. If the love you have in your life contributes to stress, depression, or a weakened immune system, it’s time to reevaluate and consider whether you need to make a change.

Cupid’s Advice:

Competition in any area can make you work harder, but it also makes the situation tougher. It all depends on how you play the game! Cupid has some dating advice about how to make competition work for you when it comes to a relationship and love:

1. Stand out from the crowd: Normally, it’s not very healthy to compare yourself to others. But in this case, you can make it work to your advantage. The key is to embrace and promote the qualities that make you unique. By standing out from the crowd, you’ll draw his eyes away from your so-called opponents.

3. Embrace your uncompetitive side: Believe it or not, even if you’re the type who isn’t interested in opposition, competition in dating can still help you, thanks to the process of elimination.

Love Advice: 10 Ways to Meet Someone on St. Patrick’s Day B y Krissy Dolor and Molly Jacob

You don’t have to be Irish to be lucky in love on St. Patrick’s Day. This day is traditionally about beer and the color green, but this year, it can be about relationships and love!

Cupid’s Pulse has love advice for ways you can meet someone special this St. Patty’s Day:

1. Dust off your”Kiss Me I’m Irish” button from college: You’re guaranteed to get a peck or two if you keep it on all day. But, be careful who you wear this around: this love advice could go sour if you get a kiss from someone you’d rather not get one from!

2. Head to the parade: Take the day off and indulge in the festivities. New York City’s parade, which passes in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, is world famous and always filled with people of all backgrounds celebrating Irish history. Put yourself in a new situation to meet someone new!

3. Forget to wear green: By accident, of course. Pinching those who aren’t wearing green is a holiday tradition that started in Boston. People thought that by wearing green you would be invisible to the leprechauns, who would pinch anyone they saw. Pinching others is a reminder that the leprechauns can see you! Hint to a cutie standing nearby that you need a pinch.

4. Do some pinching of your own: This mini-PDA gesture goes both ways, so nip an arm or a cheek – it’s up to you to pick which one would be most appropriate! Dating advice: sometimes you need to make the first move if you’re interested in that hottie at your office, so here’s a perfect way to do so.

Related Link: Date Idea: Bar Crawl Party!

5. Brush up on your history: Everyone knows about the pinching tradition, but did you know that St. Patrick – whose real name was Maewyn Succat – wasn’t even born in Ireland? Share interesting tidbits of your own and you’re bound to get noticed.

6. Test your Irish accent: See how natural your fake accent sounds by asking the closest hottie if you could pass for a Celtic woman. Maybe he can give you a few pointers!

5 Celebrity Weddings We Wish We Were Invited To B y Katie Gray

When it comes to celebrity weddings, the world goes crazy to see their favorite stars tying knots in celebrity weddings. We feel like we know them since they are in the public eye. Often times, we see their relationships and love grow from the start of dating, to the celebrity engagement, to the nuptials. Typically this excitement derives from discovering the intimate wedding and reception details of those we admire, especially when it comes to learning about all of the glamour on the big day. That being said, celebrities are just like us in some respects, and they have the same framework for their weddings as we do: love and commitment. Some stars choose to go all out for their big day, andothers choose a simplistic style. Whatever the case, the celebrity weddings always turn out fabulous and true to the personality of the person in question.

Cupid has compiled a list of the five celebrity weddings we wish we could have attended.

1. and : These country superstars stayed true to their country roots! Their country-themed celebrity wedding fit their personalities and songs perfectly. Miranda and Blake both donned cute cowboy and cowgirl boots, there was a red pickup truck and tire swing, plus plenty of deer cutlets to eat. All of the traditional aspects were present too, including gorgeous flowers and décor that fit the theme, such as their chair wraps with vintage belt buckles. Yeehaw!

2. Prince William and Princess Kate: We had the honor of watching the royal couple say “I do” on live television, but it would have been amazing to attend it live, too! This royal wedding had 36.7 million viewers, and it even has its own Wikipedia page. The beautiful Prince and Princess tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in London, England. Following their vows, they made the traditional appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. She wore a gown by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, and a Cartier tiara and shoes that featured a Swarovski buckle. Such a fairytale!

3. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: This widely publicized celebrity wedding had as much glitz and glam as you would expect. The reality star and rapper prepared for their big day with family and friends in Paris and then flew to Florence, Italy for the ceremony at the Forte di Belvedere. Lana Del Rey performed at the rehearsal dinner and VOGUE did a spread on the luxurious wedding; as it clearly was the most fashion forward wedding of the decade. Keeping Up With The Wedding would have been fabulous! 4. George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin: America’s favorite bachelor and A-List movie star, George Clooney, tied the knot with lawyer and activist Amal Alamuddin. They went for a classic look, and it was pure elegance. The duo celebrated with their 90 guests at the seven-star Aman Canal Grande Hotel in September. Amal’s dresses were by Oscar de la Renta and were breathtaking. She opted for natural pearl earrings with square diamonds, and included her platinum band and engagement ring for accessories. This was the old Hollywood elegant wedding, and a classic affair to remember indeed!

5. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: Brangelina! Brad and Angelina celebrated their big day at their French Chateau with lots of sentiment, including their children involved in every aspect of the wedding. How sweet! Her gorgeous dress was by Versace and it was custom of course, including drawings of the couple’s six children on the gown itself. Talk about a beautiful family affair!

One of the first steps of being able to love someone else is to learn how to love yourself. Yoga instructor, motivational speaker, and Yoga Girl author, Rachel Brathen, illustrates the importance of this love advice through her yoga programs.

Exclusive Celebrity Interview: ‘Bachelorette’ Couple Ashley and J.P. Rosenbaum Are Divided on Who Will Win Chris Soules’s Heart! I nterviewed by Lori Bizzoco. Written by Meranda Yslas.

The relationship between J.P. and Ashley Rosenbaum is a celebrity love story come true. This famous couple met on The Bachelorette season 7, and since then, they’ve gotten married and welcomed a new addition to their family, son Fordham (Ford) Rhys. The adorable pair, who recently moved to Miami, are getting the hang of being first-time parents and opened up about their experiences as a family of three in our exclusive celebrity interview. Plus, we found out they’re a house divided when it comes to this season ofThe Bachelor!

‘Bachelorette’ Celebrity Couple Talks About Life as New Parents

Raising a baby — whether it’s for the first time or the fifth time — is by no means easy, but for the celebrity couple, Ford has been a blessing. “He’s a model angel baby,” the proud dad shares. So far, there haven’t been any big moments that the duo couldn’t handle, but like any first-time parents, J.P. admits that they “just roll with the punches!” Related Link: ‘Bachelorette’ Celebrity Couple Ashley and J.P. Rosenbaum Talk About Life with Newborn Son Fordham

At just five months old, Ford is already making huge progress in his development. “He rolls over and sits up. Of course, we have to put pillows around him, but he can sit up for a pretty extended period of time,” Ashley gushes. “He’s grabbing at things; he’s eating semi-solid foods right now; and he’s taking the packaging, putting it into his mouth, and trying to feed himself. It’s a pretty exciting time right now!”

The celebrity mom has a prediction for an upcoming milestone in her son’s life too: She thinks Ford’s first word will be “Boo.” She elaborates, “That’s our dog’s name, and he’s always hearing us say ‘Boo,’ so we’re pretty sure that’s what he’s going to say first.”

Like most dads, J.P. is excited for his son to follow in his footsteps and play sports someday. “I grew up playing basketball, soccer, lacrosse, and baseball, so we’re going to let him try out everything,” the former Bachelorette contestant shares. Noticing that Ford has been using his left hand more frequently, he adds, “We think he may be a lefty, so he may have an advantage as a pitcher. We’re definitely going to get a baseball in his hand pretty early.”

Now that Ford is a little bit older, the celebrity couple is feeling more comfortable with other people watching him so that they can have some alone time. “Ashley is going back to work soon, and we just hired a nanny about two weeks ago. We’re easing into the ‘leaving him with somebody else’ phase so that we can go on date nights,” J.P. reveals. “We’re almost there!”

A few months before their son was born, the reality TV stars packed their bags and headed south. Fortunately, the move to Florida was a great choice for them. “I don’t see us going back to New York. We’ve only been down here for about eight months, but we love it,” J.P. shares.

Lucky for them, the winter in Miami hasn’t been too severe, but just in case it gets blustery, the famous couple partnered with Puffs to make sure they’re prepared. “We thought it was a cool partnership. We’re just promoting staying healthy and putting your best face forward throughout the winter, Ashley explains in our exclusive celebrity interview. “What we love about Puffs is that it’s a campaign to promote taking care of yourself and providing comfort to you during cold and flu season, especially with such a harsh one this year,”

Being that The Bachelorette season 7 stars have some experience under their belts, talk of another baby has come up. “I had so much fun. I had a great pregnancy. I really, really enjoyed just having a baby and him being born,” the new mom says. “So who knows! Maybe we’ll go for a third, but right now, we’re really thinking two.”

Given their celebrity love story, it’s no surprise that they enjoy watching The Bachelor together. With the finale of Chris Soules’s journey tonight, we had to ask their thoughts on the remaining two ladies. The former Bachelorette is Team Becca. “I love both Whitney and Becca, but personally, I think Becca would be better for Chris,” she reveals. “I feel like she is more genuine. She hasn’t had a lot of love in her life, and she moves a little bit slowly, but I feel like there can potentially be a more real relationship between then.” J.P. disagrees. “I’m on the other side. I think his relationship with Whitney has progressed so much more than his relationship with Becca. I think he would be leaning more towards Whitney,” he shares.

When it comes to the next season ofThe Bachelorette, the famous couple agree that ousted contestant Kaitlyn Bristowe is the best pick. “We like Kaitlyn a lot,” Ashley says. “She seems like a cool chick. She’s got a little edge to her, so we like that.”

J.P. adds, “She’s funny too. I think she’d make a good Bachelorette.”

You can keep up with the cute couple on @ashhebert and @JP_Rosenbaum. Be sure to tune in for The Bachelor season 19 finale tonight on ABC at 8/7c!

Exclusive Celebrity Interview: Soon-to-Be Mom Terri Seymour Jokes About ’s Son Dating Her Daughter! B y Rebecca White

Terri Seymour is famously known for dating Simon Cowell for six years before their celebrity break-up in 2008. However, the Extra correspondent has moved on since then: She announced her celebrity pregnancy with boyfriend Clark Mallon in September and is excited to welcome their daughter into the world later this week. In our exclusive celebrity interview, the TV host opens up about her relationship with her ex and her celebrity baby news.

Terri Seymour Talks About Celebrity Ex Simon Cowell

As fate would have it, Seymour is due around the same time that Cowell celebrates his son Eric’s first birthday. The celebrity exes have remained close friends since their split, and the actress is even Eric’s godmother. Of course, the possibility of these two celebrity kids falling in love has been discussed among their closest friends. “Simon’s joked about that. He’s told me they will date, so we’ll see what happens,” she says with a laugh. “Eric is the most adorable, well-behaved little baby, so I’m sure he’ll grow up to be a lovely young man.”

It’s no surprise that she often wonders how Cowell ended up with such a sweet baby. “I’ve said to Simon before, ‘I can’t believe he’s your child!’ because he’s been so good since he was born,” the star gushes. For her daughter’s sake, she adds that they’ll “just have to make sure he doesn’t get on the naughty side!”

Clearly, the celebrity exes have maintained a close friendship, despite their relationship and love life not working out so many years ago. “I think sometimes, when you’re in a relationship with somebody and you become such good friends, if you don’t have a terrible break-up, it makes it easier to remain friends,” Seymour shares in our celebrity interview. “If you have a terrible split, then that’s probably not going to happen.”

Cowell has even said that he will be the godfather of Seymour’s baby girl, although the TV host has yet to confirm.

TV Host Reveals Difficulties During Her Celebrity Pregnancy

A pregnancy can be hard on anyone, even more so if you have systemic lupus like Seymour does. “I had a lot of sickness in the first seven months — I felt sick the whole time basically,” she divulges. “Now, I’m just feeling very tired and getting ready for the big day.”

While her lupus had nothing to do with the sickness she felt, her doctors are still monitoring her and the baby closely. “They won’t let me go past my due date because of it,” the actress says. “They’re talking about maybe inducing me a little bit early.”

While preparing for a baby is a great bonding experience for a couple, it can also test their partnership. “Pregnancy is really hard on a relationship and love. I think it can be very stressful,” Seymour explains. “It can be hard for the guy, I think, when his wife, partner, girlfriend, whoever, is going crazy with all these hormone changes. We can be quite testy on them, like I’ve been for the last couple months! Towards the end, though, it just brings you even closer together.”

Now that they’re in the homestretch, the famous couple is focusing on getting their daughter’s bedroom ready. “The nursery is really cute with a little bit of pink,” the celebrity mom-to-be says. “It’s got this very light-colored and fluffy cloud-like rug. We’re just doing the accessories now, like pillows, baskets, and toys. We’re trying to make it all cozy.”

It’s easy to see that the Extra correspondent and her celebrity love can’t wait to become parents. “I’m definitely most excited about meeting our daughter for the first time,” she reveals. “By the time you come to the end of your pregnancy, it feels like it’s been going on forever, so you just want to meet your healthy, beautiful, new baby. I’m excited about becoming a mom. It’s going to be life-changing.”

Still, the host isn’t going to let parenthood slow her down. In fact, she’s already got a new project in the works: “I’m designing a diaper bag because I’ve had terrible trouble finding a beautiful, cool bag,” she explains. “I’m really excited about that. I’m hoping it’s going to be ready when I have the baby because I still don’t have one!” You can keep up with Terri on Twitter @terriseymour and www.instagram.com/officialterriseymour/.

B y Katie Gray

She has been vocal about how she tried to fight wearing maternity clothes but finally had to succumb at this stage in her pregnancy. According to UsMagazine.com, she said, “I was fighting the good fight on buying maternity clothes, but now, I just have this massive belly and I can’t deny that I’m pregnant any longer!” Congrats to Duff and her fiancé Matt Rosenberg!

Celebrity pregnancy or not, adapting to a growing belly can be an emotional experience. What are three ways to come to terms with it?

Cupid’s Advice:

If you’re having a baby, it’s always best to keep stress and emotional turmoil to a minimum. Cupid has some tips:

1. Research: When you’re pregnant, it’s a good idea to conduct some research. Learn about the changes that will be happening in your body so that you know what to expect. After you read about it and/or take a course about it, you will feel better about being pregnant. Speak with other women in your life who have given birth and experienced the whole pregnancy process as well.

2. Fitness: Experts say it’s important to stay fit when you are pregnant! Don’t let yourself go just because you have someone growing inside of you. Exercise is excellent for you and the baby. You’ll have a smoother delivery and lose the weight quicker after giving birth. Plus, it will make you feel good during this life-changing experience.

Carmen Milian Talks Reality TV Show and Dating Advice in Exclusive Celebrity Interview: “Love Can Conquer All” B y Sarah Batcheller

The encouraging, protective, all-powerful role of momager is becoming ever more prominent in the most glamorous celebrity families, and Carmen Milian is no exception to the population of fabulous moms taking over the entertainment industry. Mother to singer and actress Christina, hairstylist Danielle (who just announced that her third celebrity baby is on the way!), and chef Lizzy, the family matriarch has a lot of fame on her plate, as seen on the hit reality TV show Christina Milian Turned Up. Milian is not only a successful businesswomen; she happily raised her three equally-successful daughters following her divorce. In this exclusive celebrity interview, the celebrity mom describes life and love under her roof.

Exclusive Celebrity Interview with Reality TV Star Carmen Milian

Milian reveals that filming their reality TV show was a good experience for her family. “It actually brought us closer,” she explains. “We worked out some underlying issues throughout filming that we were able to resolve, and I think we came out better in the end by finally dealing with them.”

The mother of three also had a lot of favorite moments, but unfortunately, many of them won’t be seen by audiences. “There were a lot of beautiful scenes that we shot that they didn’t use. The footage showed us joking around and being silly or even a lot more lovable. I wish people could have seen that,” she says. “We also filmed an episode for Viva Diva Wines, which Christina and I own along with our partner Robyn Santiago. It was a charity event that we supported, and our wines were such a great hit!”

In regard to her high-profile business venture with her daughter, Milian makes it sound like a match made in heaven. “I love being Christina’s partner!” she gushes. “I feel like we understand and respect each other’s roles now better then ever. We work better side-by-side than when I work for her.” She then adds, “Our relationship has remained pretty much the same. The partnership is based on the same work ethic and trust that we’ve always had.”

The entrepreneur likes to add a familial aspect to everything she does. Even while working, her children and grandchildren are at the forefront of her mind. Making it sound easy, she divulges her secret to balancing it all: “My grandkids are team players. They know that sometimes they have to be quiet while I’m on a business call, but they don’t mind because those calls usually come while I’m in Toys “R” Us, at the park, or at Chuck E. Cheese. I spoil them plenty, so they are fine with me working while we play. I try not to text or email during my time with them though because I don’t want them to feel ignored. “ Celebrity Mom Shares Dating and Relationship Advice

Milian is looking forward to this year, as she intends to make it a noteworthy one in terms of her relationship and love life. She believes that this is her time, saying, “The truth is that I used to date back in the day after my divorce, but it’s been a while. Dating is the one thing I wish I would’ve taken more time for in the past, but it’s never too late, and that is my intention in 2015.”

She also has some dating and relationship advice for other single mothers looking for someone special. “Be open to it,” she insists in our exclusive celebrity interview. “Date as many frogs as you like, but only introduce your kids to a few princes. Hopefully, one of them will turn out to be your king!”

When it comes to the season finale of Christina Milian Turned Up, which airs this Sunday, Mar. 1, viewers have a lot to look forward to. “They are definitely going to see our worst sides at the beginning of the episode. They’ll see that my family is in no way perfect,” she candidly shares. “But at the end, everyone will see how we work through our issues and that love can conquer all.”

2. Prepare the nursery: Make sure that you are ready to bring your new baby into your home. Have the crib, changing table, and glider set-up before your little one arrives. Buy some clothes too — but not too many since you never know how big or small your bundle of joy will be! Once they’re born, you probably won’t have time to do these things.

3. Pick a doctor: The best time to start looking for a pediatrician is when you’re still pregnant. You want to give yourself plenty of time to find someone who fits with your family and also accepts your insurance. Make sure they have a similar stance on vaccinations and medications too. Ask for suggestions from your OB/GYN or your nearby friends and family. This way, you’ll be ready when that first cough comes up!
