Olivia Culpo welcomes a baby girl
The 33-year-old star has taken to social media to announce that herself and husband Christian McCaffrey have welcomed their first child into the world.
Alongside a photo of her daughter's tiny hand, Olivia wrote on Instagram: "Colette Annalise McCaffrey [heart emoji] (sic)"
Christian, 29, has also shared the same post on his own social media account.
And Olivia has already hailed the sports star as the "best daddy in the world".
The brunette beauty wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "Colette is so lucky to have the best daddy in the world. A love like no other."
Olivia actually described childbirth as the "scariest and most rewarding of all experiences".
The model - who previously dated Nick Jonas - added: "As soon as [Christian] came into the room, I felt most at peace."
Olivia previously admitted that her pregnancy proved just how much she needs her own mother.
The model - who announced her pregnancy in March - explained that her mom has been hugely supportive of her over recent months.
Olivia - who won the Miss Universe beauty pageant back in 2012 - told People: "I feel like I have a lot of respect for my mom and one thing that I realised through this experience of becoming a mom is actually how much I've needed my mom, which I didn't anticipate.
"She's just been so helpful to me, especially in the beginning of my pregnancy. That was really tough. It's just kind of an interesting thing, and I'm just so grateful to her.
"It's just an ironic thought that you need your mom the most when you're about to become a mom. That's just genuinely how I felt."
The loved-up couple did "a lot of research" ahead of welcoming their baby.
Despite this, Christian acknowledged that "everybody's experience is different".
The San Francisco 49ers star shared: "A lot of research, a lot of questions to parents, but one thing I've realised is everybody's experience is different.
"I think it's one of those things that you just have to go through, do the best you can with the information that you have."

Mutual support is key to a happy marriage, says Rita Ora
Rita Ora thinks mutual support is the key to her marriage to Taika Waititi. The 34-year-old pop star has been married to the Hollywood director since 2022, and she's now explained why their relationship works so well. The chart-topping singer told People: "I think just respect and supporting each other through our own separate careers, ventures, space and just honouring that and being support systems." Rita and Taika, 49, were good friends before their relationship took a romantic turn, and she thinks that's been key to their success, too. The Hot Right Now hitmaker - who previously dated the likes of Calvin Harris and Andrew Watt - said: "Being best friends, I think, is really great." Rita recently revealed that she's like "the fairy godmother" to Taika's children. The director has two kids with his ex-wife Chelsea Winstanley, and Rita admitted that she has a great relationship with his children. During an appearance on the Begin Again with Davina McCall podcast, Rita shared: "It is so fun. I just have the best time with them. "I'm like the fairy godmother [who] gives them all the sugar and all the ice cream, and then sends them back. And their mother, who I love dearly, is like, 'They're bouncing off the walls.'" Rita also revealed that she relished the experience of taking the kids to see Ed Sheeran, her long-time showbiz pal. The singer said: "I think that's the fun part of being a stepmom, like you can do those naughty things. I take them out, and I took them to an Ed Sheeran concert. They met Ed Sheeran, like, I was giving it all to these kids!" Meanwhile, Rita recently confessed that she wants to "celebrate [her] sexuality" through her new music. The singer released her latest single, Heat, last month, and Rita admitted that it's a taste of things to come. She told People: "The whole theme of this record is really about being instant [and] really direct with my messaging and stripping everything back behind me, production wise." Heat was co-written by Troye Sivan, and Rita feels she has "a lot in common" with the music star. Rita said: "I love his sexuality and the celebration he has with that. "I was really inspired for me and my womanhood to really kind of celebrate my sexuality, my sexiness and get back into my body, you know? And this really just embodied that."

Spencer Pratt explains why he missed Brody Jenner's wedding
Spencer Pratt missed Brody Jenner's wedding due to a diary clash. The two stars have been friends since they were 13 years old but Spencer and his wife Heidi Montag were notably not in attendance when his pal tied the knot with Tia Blanco in Malibu on Saturday (12.07.25). Spencer was asked on TikTok why he hadn't been at Brody's celebration and explained he and his spouse were at the wedding of Heidi's sister, Holly Montag. He shared a photo of himself and sons Gunner, seven, and two-year-old Ryker in formal attire and replied: 'At Heidi's sister's wedding. Holly had her wedding same time.' The Hills star also shared some aerial paparazzi photos of Brody and Tia's wedding to his Instagram Story. He joked in the caption: '@brodyjenner I didn't call the helicopter.(sic)" Brody reposted the comment with a number of cry-laughing emojis. Brody, 41, shared some footage of his and Tia's wedding - which took place at his mother Linda Thompson's home - on his Instagram Story. He wrote: 'Last night was truly something special. We had the best time celebrating our love with all of you. 'Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such an unforgettable night. We felt so much love and couldn't be more grateful.' Among the clips was a video of himself and Tia feeding their 23-month-old daughter Honey some wedding cake. He shared several videos from the special day, including himself and Blanco feeding pieces of their wedding cake to little Honey. The group also jammed out to an electronic playlist presided over by a DJ. Tia - who is a professional surfer - wore an off-the-shoulder lace gown for the wedding ceremony, while Brody donned a traditional tuxedo for the special occasion. Tia also had a "bridal blessing" with friends and family prior to the ceremony. She wrote on Instagram at the time: "A truly special day I will never forget. I have the very best friends in the world. Thank you for blessing our marriage tomorrow and making me feel so loved and special. My gratitude runs deep for my sisterhood tribe [heart emoji] thank you to my maid of honor, @ajablanco for putting on this incredible bridal blessing. I couldn't have dreamed of a better bridal celebration with these group of girls. I love you all so much. (sic)" The happy couple announced they were expecting their first baby in January 2023, and they confirmed their engagement to the world via a social media post later that year. In a video taken at their baby shower, Brody told their guests: "I just want to thank you all for coming here. Really appreciate it. Love you all. Wait, one more thing, one more thing..." The reality TV star then dropped to one knee and asked Tia to marry him.

Justin Baldoni's legal team hit back at 'foot-stomping' Blake Lively
Justin Baldoni's legal team have blasted Blake Lively's "foot-stomping and use of her celebrity status". The former Gossip Girl star is suing her It Ends With Us co-star and director for sexual harassment and retaliation and after she filed a motion requesting her deposition takes place in her own lawyer's office to prevent potential paparazzi attention if she went to Justin's attorney's office, his side have hit back in their response to the request. According to TMZ, Justin and his team argued Blake had provided no evidence to back her point and insisted it couldn't be an issue of cost as the two offices are only around a mile apart. The lawyers also claimed moving the deposition away from their own offices would put them at a disadvantage because they will need to consult with hundreds of pages of notes and may need a separate conference room for private discussions during the meeting. The response ended: "Although Lively's foot-stomping and use of her celebrity status may have enabled her to seize control of the film, which is the crux of this dispute, her counsel's tantrum has no place in this Court. Lively is bound by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure like every litigant..." Blake's request came after a lawyer for Justin - whose counterclaims against Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds for extortion and defamation were dismissed last month - previously said he wanted the deposition to be taken in public for people to see. Attorney Bryan Freedman told People magazine in May: 'Hold the deposition at MSG, sell tickets or stream it, and donate every dollar to organizations helping victims of domestic abuse." Following the court filing, Blake's representatives hit out at the 41-year-old actor's team. They told People magazine: 'Ms. Lively is looking forward to her deposition next week, and it should follow the same rules as every other witness in this case. 'Justin Baldoni's lawyer has tried to make this matter a public spectacle at every turn, even proposing to sell tickets to a televised deposition at Madison Square Garden,. "This is a serious matter of sexual harassment and retaliation and it deserves to be treated as such.' The new filing revealed Blake, 37, asked the judge to block Justin and his team from selecting where the deposition takes place. Her lawyers wrote: "[Baldoni's team have] not denied that their intent is to manufacture a harassing publicity stunt by requiring Ms. Lively to parade through paparazzi, or by inviting unknown attendees to the deposition, including members of the media or social media influencers, or any other number of abusive tactics. 'Since virtually the inception of this litigation, Defendants have used even the prospect of Ms. Lively's deposition to generate press interest. 'The high-profile nature of this litigation, and the nature of Ms. Lively's retaliation claims, demonstrates a substantial risk of the deposition turning into a publicity event and potentially attracting interested individuals who could pose security risks." The Another Simple Favor star's lawyers insisted the filing was a "reasonable request to prevent the risk of annoyance, harassment, and verbal or physical threats," and alleged Justin's team 'appear to seek another public relations moment, or to create conditions for intimidation or harassment.' A trial is set to take place in March 2026.
