Baby Watch

Jennifer Lawrence's motherhood journey starts now, 'cause TMZ has learned she recently delivered her first kid.

According to public records ... JLaw gave birth in L.A. County, but we don't yet know the gender of the baby or the exact date of birth.

Jennifer sparked rumors she might be pregnant last summer, when she was photographed in NYC -- and, as you know, those rumors turned out to be true.

We haven't seen much of her since then. One of the last times she was out and about was right before XMAS, and she seemed far along in the pregnancy. We're also told she had a baby shower at the end of January.

This is the first child for both JLaw and her art dealer husband, Cooke Maroney. We've made repeated calls to Jennifer's rep, but she hasn't responded.

Jennifer and Cooke got hitched back in 2019 with a small ceremony in Rhode Island.

Seems like just yesterday that JLaw was coming up as a star in the 'Hunger Games,' and now she's a mom! Time flies.

Sam Hunt's wife had an almost instant change of heart after filing for divorce, because the same day she accused Sam of adultery she withdrew her petition to end the marriage.

Hannah Lee Fowler had filed legal docs Friday to end her marriage to Sam, not only citing infidelity but revealing she was pregnant and wanted primary custody of their child due in May. She had also asked for spousal and child support.

But, then she filed a document the very same day saying the divorce petition was "voluntarily nonsuited without prejudices." Translation ... she's withdrawing the divorce case but is reserving the right to file again in the future.

The couple married almost 5 years ago and were together for years before ... they began their relationship when Sam was a QB at Univ. of Alabama, Birmingham.

A judge had yet to sign off on the filing, but that's just a housekeeping thing.

Odell Beckham Jr.'s special February just got a whole lot more memorable -- the NFL superstar announced his model GF, Lauren Wood, gave birth to their first child last week!!

OBJ said the baby, Zydn, was born on Feb. 17 -- just four days after the L.A. Rams wideout won Super Bowl LVI.

"THE biggest blessing I've ever had in my life arrived here on earth!" Beckham wrote in a lengthy social media post.

"The words, I can't even put together for the overwhelming emotions that ran thru me … a moment I will never forget and cherish forever. Zydn was born n at that moment I knew my life changed for the better."

Beckham, who also praised Wood in the message, attached several adorable pictures of him and Wood cuddling with the baby.

The two -- who have been dating for several years -- announced the pregnancy back in November.

Beckham also announced he underwent successful surgery on Tuesday to repair the ACL he tore during the Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals.

OBJ said the road to recovery has already begun -- and then he promised to return in 2022 "better than ever before."

There might be a whole bunch of mini Simone Biles's tumbling around soon ... 'cause she just revealed her fiancé, NFL player Jonathan Owens, wants "a football team" of kids in the future!!

The Olympic gold medalist had a Q&A with fans on Monday night just days after she got engaged to the Houston Texans safety ... and questions about future kids popped up several times.

One fan eventually asked how many kids the couple is planning on having -- and the 24-year-old gymnast said she wants two ... but Owens wants a whole lot more.

"So, I want two kids," she said. "He always says he wants a football team."

For those who aren't familiar, there are 53 players on an NFL roster -- and 11 starters when on the field!

But, Biles said afterward, "he usually says three. We'll see."

Biles also dropped some more info about the couple's future ... saying the two -- who got engaged on Valentine's Day -- will have their wedding on a beach, and that they're in the process of building a house.

"Wedding planning has been going well so far, it's so exciting for me," Biles said. "I'm obsessed."

"Also I'll definitely hire a planner because between this & building a house, our hands are full."

Michael Buble is having another kid -- his fourth -- with his wife, Luisana Lopilato, who's showing off her baby bump in a sneak peek of his new music video ... surprise!!!

TMZ obtained this clip of Buble's forthcoming video for his song, 'I'll Never Not Love You,' which is expected to be released sometime this week ... and lo and behold, you see Luisana toward the end pulling her hubby out of a dream sequence -- revealing she's preggo.

No word on how far along she is exactly -- we've learned not to guess. We ain't doctors!

BTW, we're told this music video is actually a call-back to the first time Michael and Luisana appeared on camera together for his smash hit, 'Haven't Met You Yet.'

Apparently, this is a continuation of that story, and our sources tell us there will be lots of shots featuring iconic romantic scenes from movies like "Titanic," "The Notebook" and "The Princess Bride."

We've reached out to Buble's team for comment ... so far, no word back.

Van Jefferson's Super Bowl baby finally has a name ... and fittingly, it's "Champ."

After days of deliberating, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver said on "The Adam Schefter Podcast" this week that he and his wife, Samaria, just settled on the name.

"Champ Curtis Jefferson," Van said. "That's the name we got."

Of course, it's an extremely fitting name, considering the baby was born just minutes after Jefferson and the Rams were crowned World Champions -- but it certainly took a while for Van and his wife to land on the name.

Jefferson had told us at the Super Bowl parade last week that the couple was actually considering "Wynn" or "Miles" ... but he explained he just ultimately couldn't pass on "Champ."

"We just looked it up and 'Champ' is like a warrior," Van said, "and my wife is a warrior."

Van ain't lying ... you'll recall, Samaria was actually stretchered out of SoFi Stadium during the Rams' win over the Bengals on Sunday so she could have the child.

Van said he had to watch the birth of the baby boy on FaceTime because of horrific traffic after the game -- but he said he was so grateful for his wife and her efforts on the big day, he bought her a Range Rover.

Sam Hunt's wife has filed to end their 5-year marriage, citing infidelity as the reason.

Hannah Lee Fowler claims in her legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Sam is "guilty of inappropriate marital conduct," and she goes on ... "guilty of adultery."

The boilerplate code section Hannah cites reads, "The husband is guilty of such cruel and inhuman treatment or conduct toward the spouse as renders cohabitation unsafe or improper."

Sam and Hannah had not announced she was pregnant, but in the docs, she says she's due in May.

The docs were filed in Tennessee, which isn't a no-fault divorce state. She's asking for alimony. She also wants primary custody of their soon-to-be-born child. And, she wants child support as well.

It's unclear if they have a prenup, but indications are that they do because she asks "the parties be awarded their respective separate property."

As for alimony, Hannah wants, "transitional alimony, rehabilitative alimony, and alimony in future."

What's interesting ... the docs say they separated at the time she filed with the court, which was last Friday.

Prince Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt knows he isn't getting any younger, and wants some grandkids from his adopted son ... fast!

We got the Prince -- widower of Zsa Zsa Gabor -- leaving Wally's in Bev Hills ... out with his newly-adopted son, 27-year-old Kevin Feucht.

We asked if there was a deadline for Kevin to tie the knot, and Prinz responded quickly --  "tomorrow!" Seems pretty serious ... especially when time isn't on his side.

As you'll recall, the Prince recently adopted Kevin to preserve his royal lineage and inherit his estate when he dies. Anhalt had no children, so this was the next best option.

In early February, we got Prinz in Bev Hills and he told us the adoption isn't a done deal ... if Kevin doesn't prove to be much help, he could be dropkicked stat! "If he is bad, I get another one ... I can adopt as much as I want!"

Shia LaBeouf seems to be getting ready for dad duty ... with a little help from the Swedes!

The actor and his very-pregnant girlfriend, Mia Goth, hit up IKEA Saturday in Burbank, where they were spotted in the checkout line with a cart full of items that appeared to be packed to the brim.

Unclear what exactly they bought, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it was baby-related. The big box furniture store has great deals on cribs within their walls ... and that kid is a-comin'!

As you can see, Mia looks just about ready to pop ... something that wasn’t lost on Papa Bear. Eyewitnesses tell us Shia was rubbing his BM’s tummy early and often as they waited ... in between their semi-masked convos, that is.

Yes, SLB’s face covering is hanging below his mouth in a lot of these shots -- but the IKEA staff didn’t seem to be sweating it too much. Mask mandates have been lifted throughout much of California, but not in L.A. County.

Per usual, he was looking very much like an average Joe from the Valley ... rocking a Rams T-shirt, jogger pants and literal Caterpillar work boots. If you didn’t know any better, you might not even recognize the guy at all ... that’s how un-Hollywood he is in his regular life.

Anyway, this will be Shia and Mia’s first child together -- this after being on and off romantically for years.

It looks like Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are in the process of having another baby, but this time via surrogate.

Chrissy posted a pic of needles and capsules and it appears the backdrop is some sort of medical office. It has the makings of an egg-retrieval procedure.

Her caption was even more revealing ... "Here we go again."

As you know, in September 2020, Chrissy and John lost Jack, who did not survive after being born 20 weeks into her pregnancy because of complications.

Chrissy told her fans last year she and John couldn't have another baby through natural childbirth.

L.A. Rams receiver Van Jefferson says he's still brainstorming with his wife over what they'll name their Super Bowl baby ... telling TMZ Sports it could either be Wynn or Miles!!!

Remember, Van's beautiful wife, Samaria, was stretchered out of SoFi Stadium DURING Super Bowl LVI ... and gave birth to their baby boy shortly after.

Fresh off the win over the Bengals, Jefferson was able to dash to the medical facility to get introduced to his new son.

Given the incredibly unique circumstances, VJ and Samaria had victory on their minds when considering names ... but there's one other that might come out on top.

We asked Jefferson's teammate, Robert Woods, if he had any suggestions -- but he was tight-lipped. BTW -- shoutout to RW's new daughter, Shi, who made her TMZ debut at the Rams' Super Bowl parade and rally on Wednesday!!

Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson's wife wasn't quite able to catch her hubby's thrilling Super Bowl win on Sunday ... 'cause she had to leave the game early on a stretcher to have the couple's baby!

Samaria Jefferson was rushed out of SoFi Stadium just minutes before L.A. beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20, to win Super Bowl LVI ... according to multiple reporters on the scene.

Thankfully, though, Samaria was able to make it to a medical facility without any issue -- and after Van and the Rams pulled off their comeback, he joined her to welcome their new baby.

Van posted a pic with the newborn just minutes after winning his ring, smiling with glee and writing, "X2!!!!!"

Samaria had spoken about the possibility of the situation just days before the Big Game, telling The Athletic that she was "praying" her water didn't break during the middle of the contest.

In fact, in the hours leading up to the game, she posted on her Instagram page that she was "still praying."

Cameras actually caught Van sprinting out of the stadium following the win ... showing him leaving in a hurry.

The baby is the couple's second child -- they had their first daughter together five years ago.

Van Jones is taking progressive to a new level -- the activist and CNN commentator is a proud new dad, and he and the baby's mother just might inspire a new movement in parenting.

Van tells TMZ, "After the COVID lockdown, I got clear that I wanted another kid. I discovered that my friend Noemi also wanted a baby. So, we decided to join forces and become conscious co-parents. It’s a concept that I hope more people will explore and consider."

He continues, "This month we welcomed to Earth a baby girl, whom we will raise as co-parenting partners. This is a special time for our families. I feel grateful, joyful and blessed."

Now, sources connected to Van tell us the mother's full name is Noemi Zamacona, and they've been friends -- through a shared interest in criminal justice advocacy -- for several years. In fact, we're told their decision to have a child together was literally made over a friendly meal. Ya know what they say about friends in need!

One source described Noemi and Van's current relationship this way -- "It's a very modern arrangement. They're not a couple, but they are a team that wants to raise a kid together."

Van has 2 children from his previous marriage, and we're told this is Noemi's first.

In his statement, Van adds ... "As we create a safe and loving environment for this blessed young soul, I respectfully ask for privacy. Thank you for all the love and support.”

No word on the baby girl's name yet, but we're really wondering if either Van or Noemi plan to trademark "conscious co-parenting."

LisaRaye McCoy is laying down some surprising facts about Da Brat's pregnancy ... saying she didn't even get a call her sister's expecting!

The actress was on the new podcast "It's Tricky with Raquel Harper" when she opened up about her rough relationship with her sister. It all spilled out when Raq asked how she felt about Brat having a baby.

You gotta see this ... LR took a moment, and then dropped a one-word response, "Wonderful." The tension was obvious as she explained she found out about the baby news on social media.

LisaRaye was visibly upset, and said the whole ordeal "takes me back" ... a clear reference to the last time the sisters got together publicly -- on LisaRaye's Fox Soul show, "Cocktails with Queens."

McCoy was celebrating her 53rd birthday, and Da Brat made a surprise appearance. What started as a sweet tribute to the Chicago natives' childhood ended with LR getting irate with Brat.

LisaRaye was crying and speaking directly to her sister about not talking for months ... when co-host Vivica A. Fox attempted to get LisaRaye to enjoy her birthday wishes, but she angrily said to her co-hosts, “I don’t give a **** what y’all saying at all.”

It was far from a warm fuzzy ending, and probably explains why she learned about Brat's pregnancy online.

Adele has made a vow to fans hoping to see her in Vegas -- exclaiming the show will go on -- and needs to happen by the end of this year, because she's got a baby on the brain.

Adele sat down with BBC's Graham Norton Friday, saying that while she was gutted she couldn't start the residency ... it absolutely is still happening, and she'll be on stage in 2022.

The pop star was reluctant to announce any exact dates, but says it needs to happen this year because she wants to have a baby in 2023.

Of course, she's been dating sports biz big shot Rich Paul -- so it would appear things are getting very serious between the two.

During the interview, Adele wore a nice rock on her ring finger ... even Graham had to ask the question that we've all been wondering ... is she engaged?

Adele laughed off the question, and would not confirm ... but she also didn't say no. Perhaps both a new baby and last name are in her very near future.

NHL star Evander Kane and his model GF Mara Teigen are expecting ... and they announced the new arrival by sharing smokin' hot pics of the model's baby bump in a bikini photoshoot.

The two lovebirds posted the exciting news on social media ... with Teigen saying, "23 weeks growing with you 🤍 We love you little one 🤍."

Check out the pics ... you can see Evander and Mara with their hands on the baby bump -- as they soak in some sun on the beach.

Of course, Kane and Teigen aren't shy about their affection -- as we previously reported, EK posted a love note on an L.A. billboard for Mara ... after the two had split over friction in the relationship.

Now, the couple is stronger than ever ... and super excited for their new addition to the family.
