Madison LeCroy on her excitement over becoming a girl mom after giving birth
Madison LeCroy is a (southern) mom of two. The reality star, 34, who welcomed her second child, daughter Teddi, with husband Brett Randle on Sunday, June 29, opened up about becoming a girl mom for the first time. LeCroy also shares son, Hudson, 12, with her ex-husband, Josh Hughes. 8 Madison LeCroy poses with son Hudson and daughter Teddi. Madison LeCroy 'I would say, obviously, I've experienced the boy mom and it's a true thing, so I'm super excited to be a girl mom for the first time,' she exclusively told The Post on Wednesday, just three days after giving birth. 'Everything's pink and girly. I'm already just having such a blast,' LeCroy gushed. 'So I know it's just going to get better each day. I didn't think I was going to get both, to be honest. So I'm very lucky to be able to experience it.' 8 Madison LeCroy with her husband Brett before giving birth. Madison LeCroy Hudson, meanwhile, couldn't be happier to welcome a little sibling into their family. 'Honestly, at first I was a little worried he was going to be jealous,' LeCroy confessed. 'But, of course, he's just taken on the role where he's almost a little bit more protective than me already. So I am happy to see it. And I know he's going to be the best big brother ever. She's very lucky to have him.' Through it all, the 'Southern Charm' star has Randle, whom she tied the knot with in 2022, by her side. 'Not that he ever told me 'no' anyways, but he's definitely not told me 'no' in the past eight or nine months,' she shared. 'Anything I want or we need, he's on top of it. He's been being there for me and doing things without me even having to ask. I know I picked the right one when you end up expecting a child with them and you realize how it's going to be. I definitely feel like I hit the lottery with that.' 8 Brett Randle holds his newborn daughter. Madison LeCroy LeCroy underwent a C-section at 34 weeks, but despite going into labor early, she was ready to enter the hospital at any moment. 'I had full glam, so I made sure to have a blowout and I made sure to have light, fresh face of makeup, just for pictures' sake,' she recalled. 'I definitely think that for me, good hair and good makeup is all I can do for now.' LeCroy also touched on the best piece of motherhood advice she's received, and it came from someone very special to her: her late father Ted LeCroy, who died in 2023. 8 Madison LeCroy poses with her baby bump. Madison Lecroy/Instagram 'Just have grace for yourself,' LeCroy stated. 'Obviously, when it comes to your children, let them be individually who they are going to be and don't try to live through them too much. My dad would always say, 'Don't kill their spirit.' Whether that means they're a little unhinged or not just let them be who they're going to be. I'm definitely going to take that into consideration.' Fans can expect to see the former hairstylist step into her new role as mom-of-two on the next season of 'Southern Charm.' As for who from the cast was supportive throughout LeCroy's pregnancy, the influencer shouted out her close besties. 8 Madison LeCroy shows off her baby bump. Madison Lecroy/Instagram 'The girls have always been there for me,' she expressed. 'So I would say Venita [Aspen] has always been there. Rodrigo [Reyes] and Salley [Carson], of course. So everyone's been pretty, pretty great.' On Thursday, LeCroy opened up about her birth experience while talking to US Weekly. 'I was in labor for 48 hours basically [because] my water broke at home,' she recounted. 8 Madison LeCroy with her husband and son. Instagram LeCroy added that she began going into labor at 2:30 a.m. after being out at a concert for her mom's birthday. At the time, Randle, who is a firefighter, was at work in California. 'I ran upstairs, and I was like, 'Mom, I don't have anything packed,'' LeCroy said. 'It was funny 'cause me and her both were like in my closet trying to pick out what we were gonna wear to the hospital.' 'We kind of prolonged the labor, and Brett got here and then we waited another day and had the C-section, and there she was five minutes later.' 8 Madison LeCroy. Madison Lecroy/Instagram LeCroy had the perfect song for Teddi to make her entrance into the world. 'My doctor, she's amazing. And at this point she was, like, a friend, and we were sitting there talking and we were like, 'What [is[the playlist gonna be for this?'' she detailed. 'And we were joking around, we're like, 'Girl power, let's go Taylor Swift.' So we did, we rocked out to Taylor Swift during the surgery.' LeCroy elaborated, 'So that's what she was born to. Now don't ask me what song, because at that point I don't have no idea. But yeah, girl mode all the way.' 8 Madison LeCroy and Brett Randle. Madison LeCroy/Instagram Teddi — who is named after LeCroy's late father — ended up spending a 'few days' in the NICU due to 'protocol' for babies who are born early. 'She's a little. She's only five pounds, but she's breathing on her own and hasn't needed any oxygen or anything like that. She's kind of a little trooper,' LeCroy revealed. '[Doctors] were shocked with how early she was that she was gonna be this independent. So I was like, 'Oh, I wasn't shocked at all.''

What Michael Madsen was working on in the ‘next chapter' of his life before tragic death at 67
Veteran actor Michael Madsen was looking forward to his future before his sudden death at 67. The late star reportedly died from cardiac arrest in LA on Thursday, his manager, Ron Smith, confirmed. A prolific actor with over 300 movies and TV shows under his belt, Madsen was best known for his roles in the 'Kill Bill' movies, 'Reservoir Dogs,' 'The Hateful Eight' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.' Advertisement 'In the last two years Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film including upcoming feature films 'Resurrection Road,' 'Concessions' and 'Cookbook for Southern Housewives,' and was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life,' his managers Susan Ferris and Smith, and publicist Liz Rodriguez told The Post in a statement. 7 Michael Madsen placing his handprint and bootprint in cement to be displayed with other celebrity cement impressions in the rooms at the Roosevelt Hotel in 2003.

Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many.' In addition to a slew of Tarantino movies, he appeared in 'Thelma & Louise,' 'Free Willy,' 'Donnie Brasco' and 'Die Another Day.' 'Fame is a two-edged sword,' he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. 'There are a lot of blessings but also a lot of heavy things that come with it. I think it has a lot to do with the characters I've played. I think I've been more believable than I should have been. I think people really fear me. They see me and go: 'Holy sh–t, there's that guy!''

Getty Images for Tribeca Film Festival Madsen added, 'But I'm not that guy. I'm just an actor. I'm a father, I've got seven children. I'm married, I've been married 20 years. When I'm not making a movie, I'm home, in pajamas, watching The 'Rifleman' on TV, hopefully with my 12-year-old making me a cheeseburger.' In 2024, Madsen filed for divorce from his wife, DeAnna Madsen, after 28 years together. He cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, per court documents obtained by The Post, and claimed that they officially separated shortly after their 26-year-old son Hudson died by suicide on Jan. 25, 2022.

Courtesy Everett Collection Harvey Keitel, 86, who was in 'Reservoir Dogs' with Michael, told The Post in a statement, 'We've lost another great American poet. Farewell, my dear friend. I'll never forget one of the best scenes I've ever seen on film, of you and Chris Penn fighting in 'Reservoir Dogs.' A great love scene. Give Chris a hug for me.' His 'Kill Bill' co-star Vivica A. Fox, for her part, told The Post: 'Had the pleasure of working with Michael Madsen on 'Kill Bill' and several other films! Michael was a talented man with an AMAZING onscreen presence. My deepest condolences and prayers to his family.' 7 Michael Madsen, his wife DeAnna and their daughter arrive for the signing of Michael Madsen's book 'American Badass' at Matteo's Restaurant on October 30, 2009 in Westwood, California.

'I sure as hell had my rabble-rousing days, but sooner or later you have to get over that and move on.I guess it's part of the whole bad-boy package. But I'd rather have a movie like 'Reservoir Dogs' than not have it,' the late star told THR in 2018. 'There are a lot of actors that are a lot more recognized or famous that me, who get paid a lot more than me who haven't done even one film that you'd remember. So I feel blessed and lucky that, that whatever I've done, I've done a couple of films that will be around for a long time and are respected.'
