Victoria’s Secret angel Adriana Lima is pregnant with her first child. The stunning Brazilian’s representatives have confirmed to US website People.com that she and husband Marko Jaric are about to become proud parents of a baby.

She is due to give birth this winter, reports The Sun. The rep told People: “Adriana and Marko are overjoyed that they are expecting their first child together and are excited to share the happy news and start their family together.”

The couple eloped on Valentine’s Day this year, tying the knot in a small, private civil ceremony in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Lima and Jaric, who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies, met in 2006 and got engaged two years later on Lima’s 27th birthday.

All Blacks great Jonah Lomu last night described the birth of his first child as being “so good”.

But contrary to earlier media reports, Sunday News understands Jonah’s girlfriend Nadene Quirk gave birth to a 5.4kg boy last weekend in Wellington.The couple reportedly named the baby Braylee, a name typically given to girls. But a source told Sunday News Jonah has told several people his precious baby is a boy.

A Wellington Hospital spokeswoman confirmed Nadene, a property manager and company director, spent a day in hospital.Jonah, 33, was yesterday reluctant to speak about Braylee but as he walked from central Wellington’s Subway he sported a huge smile and said of his new joy: “It is all so good at the moment, bro.”

Asked about her baby, Nadene last night said she “was busy doing something at the moment and will need to call you back.”Earlier while Nadene was at home caring for her week-old child, Jonah was out but avoiding journalists.A Sunday News photographer snapped Jonah dashing off in his 2003 Audi A3, avoiding the media.

Jonah and Nadene could score a fortune for exclusive pics of baby Braylee. Experts say the first pictures of the sporting hero’s baby may spark a bidding war that will rake in megabucks.”I would have thought it’d be six figures,” celebrity agent Karen Kay told Sunday News last year.

“Jonah Lomu is a huge star in the UK for example, so the media over there would probably pay quite a bit.” But the proud parents must keep out of the limelight before the exclusive images are published or the deal could be compromised.Media interest in the couple and the baby has been high since the relationship was revealed last February.

The giant wing and then wife and manager Fiona had just admitted they were working through “issues in their relationship”, while Nadene was just 10 months into her marriage with then Blues rugby player Jarek Goebel when it became public.

The new couple immediately looked for a Wellington home while smitten Jonah lavished Nadene with gifts, including a Porsche Cayenne.Nadene is his fourth major partner.He married Tanya Rutter in 1996, got engaged to Teina Stace in 1998 and married Fiona Taylor in 2003.

As the world slowly re-steadies itself in the wake of the birth of the new Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt twins, the question on everyone’s mind seems to be the same- where did they come up with those baby names?

33 year-old stunning actress Angelina Jolie finally gave birth on Saturday night at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, to a boy and a girl. The boy was named Knox Leon and the girl was named Vivienne Marcheline.

Us magazine spoke to baby name expert Pamela Redmond Satran, who tried to shed some light on the unusual and original name choices. Said Satran to the mag, “Vivienne is the French version of the ancient Latin name that means ‘alive.” For anyone who is an Angelina Jolie fan (and those of us over at Actress Archives definitely fall into that category), it is commonly known that Marcheline was the name of Angelina Jolie’s late mother, who died earlier in the year. Angelina Jolie and her mother were extremely close, so it is in no way surprising that Angelina and Brad chose to honor her in this way- and in our humble opinion, it doesn’t hurt that it’s a beautiful name.

Knox’s name is also straight out of the Jolie/Pitt family history books. Knox was Brad Pitt’s grandfather’s middle name, and, while this may only be a coincidence, ends in an “X,” as do the names of both his older brothers, Maddox and Pax. Middle name Leon is Angelina Jolie’s great-great grandfather’s name.

And there you have it, the baby names explained. We’re definitely intrigued by the whole “names ending in X” theory. Perhaps eventually, this may serve as the only deterrent for Angelina and Brad to finally stop having more children- or at least sons. We’re hard pressed to think of all that many more names that end in X…

Halle Berry and her model partner Gabriel Aubry have become the proud parents of a baby girl.

The actress’ representative confirmed the birth, and announced that the Oscar winner was ‘doing great.’

This is the first baby for both Berry and Aubry.The couple met in November 2005 during a Versace photo shoot, and went public with their relationship three months later. In September last year, Berry confirmed rumours that she was pregnant.

She had said that she was sure she was expecting a girl because Stevie Wonder’s Isn’t She Lovely kept playing on her iPod. ’For some reason, that song keeps coming up on my iPod. We’re like, ‘It’s a girl! It’s a girl!” she had said.

The couple has not revealed their daughter’s name as yet, reports E!Online. But Berry insists that the baby will have her father, Gabriel Aubry’s surname. ’We know the last name will be Aubry.’ she said.

Britney Spears is the latest celeb to join the likes of Madonna and Angelina Jolie - as she will be adopting Chinese twins.

The troubled star has told her pals that she’s in the final stages of talks with an adoption agency and plans to go ahead with the move very soon.

The pals of the 25-year-old feel that the ‘ Toxic ’ singer has decided to adopt the two six-year-old tots from China in a frantic bid to fill the void left by losing her sons to hubby Kevin Federline.

A source revealed that the singer was splashing 25,000 pounds on her funeral.

“It doesn’t seem that Britney has thought this through completely. Adoption and a funeral? The two don’t exactly go hand-in-hand,” News of the World quoted a source, as saying.

Earlier, this month Federine was given the full custody of his and Britney’s children Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.

Angelina Jolie and Myleene Klass have been voted the world’s ‘yummiest mummies.’

New mum Myleene and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, who has three adopted and one biological kid, both got 20 per cent of the votes in an online survey carried out by British newspaper The Sun .

Actress Katie Holmes, who has a one-year-old daughter, Suri, with actor Tom Cruise bagged the third slot.

The fourth yummiest mummy was Spice Girl Emma Bunton, who gave birth to a baby boy named Beau Lee Bunton in August this year.

Troubled pop star Britney Sprears got the fifth place with 10 per cent of the votes, while Posh Spice Victoria Beckham came sixth.

Rounding up the list were Demi Moore and Jordan, with four per cent of the votes; former Baywatch star Pamela Andersonwith three per cent, and Geri Halliwell with two per cent of the votes.

Christina Aguilera has apparently decided not to wait until her water breaks to reveal that no, she hasn’t been shoving a series of ever-larger beach balls under her shirt, and yes, she is in fact knocked up.

When asked by Glamour UK about her New Year’s resolutions, she spilled, “That’ll be about the time I enter into mommyhood, so I’m hoping to have started a beautiful family with my husband!”

The peroxide-coiffed pop queen, whose bulging, frequently on-display belly is all the proof anyone really needed, adds that she’s already making plans to bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan.

“I want to get it right, to balance [motherhood] well with my career,” says Xtina, who will soon celebrate her second anniversary with her stork-happy hubby Jordan Bratman.

“Oh, he’s thrilled! He’s just great,” she enthuses of her joined-at-the-hip music exec spouse. “He’s so supportive and amazing through everything. He came with me on the last leg of the tour and he was my support system … I gush. I’m a lucky girl.”

After several weeks of wearing comfy couture, Cate Blanchett has matter-of-factly confirmed she’s expecting her third child with her writer-director hubby, Andrew Upton.

A reporter at Saturday’s Sydney premiere of her film “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” came right out and asked about the pregnancy rumors, earning a big grin from the luminous Oscar winner, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

“Yes, I am,” responded the up-front Blanchett, who gives us yet another entry to add to the long list of reasons why we love her.

The Aussie actress, 38, who is already mom to Dashiell, 5, and Roman, 3, pleaded ignorance to rumblings she’s awaiting another boy.

“You know more than me,” she laughed. “It’s early days yet. It’s due in April.”

Cate has made no secret of her desire to expand her brood, revealing in the October issue of W, “We’re not going to wait forever. God, I’d love it to be now. I’d love it to be next week.”
