Anneliese van der Pol from That's so Raven is having a baby girl with her husband Johnno Wilson, says 'she will be a feminist'
van der Pol from That's So Raven is expecting a baby with her husband, Johnno Wilson. The couple, who've starred alongside each other on the Disney Channel sitcom, confirmed their transition into parenthood when speaking to People Magazine.
The couple have had this child relatively late in their lives, with both
Anneliese
and Johnno being 40 years old as of the announcement.
Their baby is due this October and is a girl.
Speaking of her pregnancy,
Anneliese
had this to say:
"Of course, you just want a healthy child, and a boy would've been exciting too, but there's something about a girl in this time that I'm just so proud of. I don't want her to be a performer or care if she's a doctor...but she WILL be a feminist."
Anneliese
and Johnno weren't always sure about starting a family
Anneliese
van der Pol and Johnno Wilson have been frank about the fact that they weren't always sure about whether or not to start a family of their own. Earlier in their marriage, they considered themselves a couple that would go childfree.
As Johnno put it, back when they first met at 34, their main priorities were career and travel. However, the passage of time ended up reorienting their priorities, and now the couple seem fully prepared to step into parenthood.
The two planned to consult with their family doctor and conceive the baby through in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, when
Anneliese
checked for her period, everything changed. As she put it:
"Literally the day before we were meant to meet our IVF [in vitro fertilization] doctor, I realized I was late. So I took a test, saw two lines, and canceled our appointment. I put the pregnancy stick on Johnno's pillow and watched him figure it out when he came in to bring me my morning coffee.'
Anneliese
says her pregnancy has gone well so far
Anneliese
and Johno have stated that her pregnancy so far has been peaceful and trouble-free. Johno revealed that a lot of the couple's friends and loved ones have already had kids, so they were 'prepared for anything', but things have overall been 'wonderful'.
That doesn't mean there haven't been any changes to her life, as
Anneliese
fondly recalled the cravings she developed, or the 'quickening' she felt when the baby within her began moving around 17 to 20 weeks in.
The couple have credited Babylist for being an incredibly useful website for consolidating all the information they needed for managing the pregnancy and raising the baby after birth.

Josh Peck and Wife Paige O'Brien Welcome 3rd Child, Here's Exploring Drake & Josh Alum's Relationship Timeline

Taking to his Instagram, the actor announced the happy news while also revealing the name of their baby boy. The Amanda Show star shared a couple of pictures of his newborn, swaddled in a blanket, on his social media. The mother of three also shared pictures of her youngest child and wrote in the caption, "Meyer Lane, we love you, we love you." Peck then reposted the photo on his Instagram story. Peck and O'Brien are also parents to Shai Miller and Max Milo. Meanwhile, the couple first announced on Instagram that they were expecting their third child. O'Brien stood sideways and flaunted her baby bump, while the actor placed his hand on her stomach and smiled. In the caption, he wrote, "I finally get a minivan." Josh Peck and Paige O'Brien's relationship timeline Josh and O'Brien first met on the sets of Drake & Josh, where the latter worked as a cinematographer. The duo began dating in 2011, and although they kept their relationship private in the initial years, the actor announced his engagement to Paige in 2016. On his Instagram, the cinematographer shared a selfie of her and Peck as she flaunted her diamond ring in front of the Eiffel Tower. In 2017, the couple went on to tie the knot in Malibu, with their close friends, family, and a few celebrity guests in attendance. A year later, the duo welcomed their first son, Max, and four years later, announced the birth of their second child, Shai. Speaking about parenting, Paige opened up to People Magazine about the challenges she faced. She said, "I really had every intention of breastfeeding when we had Max, and then I quickly realized that I never produced enough milk. I kind of drove myself crazy for a few weeks, trying to really force it, and then we went to formula and had to try out a bunch of different ones until we found the right fit." She further added, "With Shai, it was the same, and so we gave him Enfamil right from day one in the hospital. That's what our doctors gave us, our pediatrician, and he's been on it ever since." The couple has now entered a new phase as a family of five.

Not Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, this Bollywood actor was 'World's most handsome man', ranked 7th globally, his name is...
While fan debates about Bollywood's most handsome actor often swing between Hrithik Roshan's sculpted looks, Shah Rukh Khan's charm, and even vintage heroes like Dev Anand, history holds a different verdict altogether. A recently resurfaced Reddit post has reignited this age-old conversation, pointing out that only two Bollywood stars have been declared the 'Most Handsome Man in the World' in a more formal context. According to a now-viral Reddit thread referencing a tweet from History TV , veteran actor Dharmendra was awarded the title of 'World's Most Handsome Man' in the mid-1970s. At the peak of his career, with rugged good looks and a towering screen presence, Dharmendra was not just a desi heartthrob, but a global one. Back in the '70s, when magazine covers and online polls defined celebrity appeal, Dharmendra's masculine grace and good looks were considered unmatched, and that made him earn the tag of this, long before the internet existed. Then came this actor in the 2000s Fast-forward a few decades, and Salman Khan, known for his brawny physique and blockbuster charm, reportedly earned the same tag in the early 2000s. Those who know and follow Salman Khan would know that, in 2004, People Magazine ranked him 7th in their global list of the world's most handsome men. Though unofficial, the recognition reflected Salman's surging global popularity and immense fan base. Further making his mark stronger better and massive, Salman's wax statue were also made at Madame Tussauds in London (2008) and New York (2012), placing him among a select few Indian actors honoured on an international stage. People are still going gaga over Salman Khan Even at the age of 59, Bollywood's Bhaijaan remains one of the industry's most bankable and beloved stars. Whether it's his enduring appeal in cinema or his philanthropic work, his stature as a superstar isn't just skin-deep. And while titles like 'Most Handsome Man in the World' may not carry official weight, they certainly carry legacy.
