Another day, another future Hollywood A-lister is born! Comedian Wanda Sykes is now the proud parent of twins! Her wife Alex gave birth to daughter Olivia Lou and son Lucas Claude on April 27th. The twins are the first children for Wanda and Alex, who were married last October.
Per People:
“All are happy and healthy and at home,” says Sykes’s rep Danica Smith.
Olivia Lou weighed in at 6 lbs., 7 oz., and was 19-inches long, while Lucas Claude tipped the scales at 7 lbs., 9 oz., and was 20-inches long. Wanda hosted the the White House Correspondents Dinner over the weekend, but managed to not slip up and say she now has two babies at home! How Wanda kept this secret for over two weeks is a mystery.
In other baby news, WNBA star Candace Parker has given birth to a baby girl. The Los Angeles Sparks player and husband Shelden Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves do not wish to release their daughter’s name at this time, are hoping to share that tidbit with both sides of the family and close friends first. The baby girl weighed in at 7 lbs., 6 oz and 20″ long and is the first child for the couple, who were married in November.
Per The Associated Press:
“Shelden and I are thrilled,” Parker said in a release. “This is such a life changing moment for us, we feel blessed to have a healthy and beautiful baby girl.”
Candace says she plans to rejoin the Los Angeles Sparks once she receives clearance from her physician. The new season starts up June 6th. A new baby AND playing ball – thats going to be one tired mama! But then again, thats what celebrities get nannies for!
Also in the baby-headline news is is that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden will soon be the parents of a baby boy, who is expected to make his appearance in August. Joel announced the impending bundle of joy a few months ago on his bands personal website.
Via In Touch:
“Joel bought water-based paint for the nursery and — surprise, surprise — it’s blue,” reveals a pal of the couple, who adds that Nicole refers to the baby as “he.” “Plus, she recently ordered some plush animals and infant toys from FAO Schwarz, and everything just happens to be blue.”
The happy couple are already proud parents to a beautiful 16 month old daughter named Harlow. Whether the baby is a boy or a girl, judging from Harlow’s smile in all the paparazzi photographs floating around, Nicole and Joel are already pros at passing down their senses of humor.
Congratulations to all the happy families!
