  • Controversial Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean Is Having a Baby Boy,Carrie Prejean Weds Raiders Quarterback
    Controversial Beauty Queen Carrie Prejean is Having a Baby Boy After their July wedding, Carrie Prejean and Kyle Boller are proud to announce that they’re not only pregnant but are expecting a baby boy on May 9, 2011. Us Weekly reports that Prejean, the controversial Miss California USA 2009 who was stripped of her crown for alleged breaches in contract, is happy about having a boy and becoming a mother. But is the beauty queen concerned about the baby weight? Prejean’s husband, Oakland Raider’s quarterback Kyle Boller, made it clear that he has “the most beautiful pregnant wife ever.” What can you do to make your pregnant partner feel beautiful? Cupid’s Advice: As the months go by and the baby weight piles on, pregnancy can make a woman feel anything, but beautiful. Prove her wrong by borrowing a few of these ideas: 1. Book the spa: If your partner is feeling a little down, surprise her by mentioning that you booked her a prenatal massage at the spa. It’ll show her that she’s still on your mind. Plus, a little rest is always appreciated. 2. Romance her: Bring back date night, and make sure she dresses to the nines. A romantic dinner will help remind her just how much you love being in her company. 3. Spice it up: Being pregnant can make some women feel the farthest thing from sexy. Buy some maternity lingerie, and rekindle the romance. Show her that you still find her beautiful. Carrie Prejean Weds Raiders Quarterback Former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, married Oakland Raiders quarterback, Kyle Boller, last weekend, reported E! Online.
