Family

Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton must really be feeling the baby love right now ... because they just welcomed a second child!

The "Loki" star confirmed the news in a recent interview with GQ and described welcoming a child as the "most beautiful, profound, earth-shattering, life-altering" experience he's ever been through.

Even though he was pretty open about how crazy welcoming a kid is, he didn't reveal his new baby's name or gender ... hey, some things just have to stay private!

FYI ... Tom and Zawe met in 2019 while starring in the same play, and they made their red carpet debut as a couple two years later at the 2021 Tony Awards ceremony. The happy couple's engagement was confirmed the following year, according to People.

Zawe revealed she was planning on starting a family with Tom when she showed off her baby bump in 2022, and she gave birth the same year ... but she kept the kid's arrival private, reports Us Weekly, and neither Zawe nor Tom have shared any info about their first child either.

Zawe confirmed she was pregnant for the second time during an interview with Vogue back in June, and she revealed the baby arrived last month in an Instagram post discussing working through "postpartum recovery."

Exes Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were the model coparents this week ... they came together to take their daughter Daisy Dove to see "Paddington: The Musical" in London.

Check out the pic ... the two appeared amicable, posing with the cast as their 5-year-old beamed. The pop star dressed comfy in a tan sweatsuit and matching cap, while the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star opted for jeans and sneakers.

They were joined by Orlando's 14-year-old son, Flynn, from his previous marriage to ex-wife Miranda Kerr.

Cardi B is urging fans to check themselves as they hound her over her relationship with Stefon Diggs -- telling them to quit being "mean" as she navigates parenthood with him and prepares for her upcoming tour.

Check out her lengthy social media video from Monday night -- she lays it out plain and simple for her haters, noting ... "I can’t change sh*t. I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby."

She hilariously continues ... "Y’all want me to put my baby back in my p***y? Huh? I don't know what y'all want me to do. Y'all want me to leave my man and f*** yours?"

Alabama Barker is definitely all out of Christmas spirit ... 'cause she just torched people giving her grief over gifts she got from her fam ... which included lots of lingerie.

Here's the deal ... Alabama did an Xmas "haul" on TikTok -- showing off all her gifts -- and among the goodies was lingerie ... which she said her father Travis Barker got for her. And of course there were plenty of people who said that's freaking weird.

Obviously, Alabama had to clap back ... explaining that while the lingerie was technically from Dad, it was her stepmom Kourtney who picked it out -- so, haters need to STFU.

Britney Spears doesn't seem to be in the holiday spirits ... it appears she took a shot at her family for their Christmas get together without her.

The pop star posted a scathing message on Instagram Sunday, seemingly directing her angst at her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, Jamie Lynn's husband, Jamie Watson, their daughters Maddie and Ivey, as well as her mother, Lynne Spears, and her oldest son, Sean Preston, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Brit wrote, “Merry late Christmas to my beautiful family who have never disrespected me, harmed me, ever done anything completely unacceptable or caused unbelievable trauma, the kind you can’t fix. To my dear sweet innocent family… so so sorry I was busy this Christmas but I will definitely show up and surprise you soon.”

Earlier in the week, Jamie Lynn and the others posed for a Spears family holiday pic, which she uploaded to her IG account. It was this photo that apparently rubbed Brit the wrong way, prompting her angry response.

Santa seems to have worked a miracle in Kardashian land ... because Kim and Kanye not only hung out together with their kids -- but they also got along!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kim and Kanye made peace for the children and spent time together as a family over the Christmas holidays. Our sources tell us Kim and Kanye were cordial with each other and are now working on co-parenting their kids, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

This is a huge deal ... as everyone knows, there's been a big rift between the two for years. Kanye, in particular, made things uglier with his infamous social media rants. But, all that is in the past, it seems, and the pair have now turned the page.

Not only that ... but our sources say Kanye has been really working on himself ... and has spent a lot of time reflecting on his outlandish behavior earlier this year -- which included praising Hitler and spewing antisemitism.

One of Shawn Porter's kids might be following in his boxing footsteps -- the former champ tells TMZ Sports his two-year-old son is already showing signs he's got the bug!!

Porter opened up on his fam with us ...  claiming out of all his kids, his youngest is the one who puts on the gloves and throws punches.

"The other two, I think they're gonna move on into some other things," Porter said, "But, this baby right here, he might be a scrapper."

Mariah Carey celebrated the Christmas holiday by sharing a rare family photo with her twins -- who happened to be rocking some of her holiday merch!

Check out the snap the Queen of Christmas shared on Instagram Friday -- she's smiling in a form-fitting red dress with her 14-year-old kids Monroe and Moroccan standing on either side of her. They're clearly proud of the pop star, 'cause they're each wearing an "All I Want for Christmas is You" sweater emblazoned with her face! Extra points go to Monroe for the 'MC' beanie she also threw on.

Monroe and Moroccan were certainly in the Christmas spirit this year, because they also posed alongside their mom and Santa for a Christmas Eve post. And again, Monroe wore a sweater with her mom's face on it, that time, paired with a Santa hat.

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola were a no-show for the Beckham family Christmas festivities this year, instead celebrating with Nicola's parents Nelson Peltz and Claudia Heffner Peltz.

Check out the pics -- Brooklyn and the "Bates Motel" actress were all smiles as they posed in their matching Christmas pajamas ... also making sure to get a snap with Nelson and Claudia. They captioned their holiday photo dump ... "We wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year filled with so much love, peace and happiness ❤️🎄⭐️."

As you know, there's not much peace between Brooklyn and his parents right now. TMZ reported in May there had been issues boiling ever since Brooklyn and Nicola's wedding in 2022, where we were told Nicola was left in tears after Victoria hijacked their first dance. Then, there were tensions when Brooklyn's little bro Romeo Beckham started seeing Kim Turnbull, who Brooklyn had a past with.

Britney Spears must be feeling "Lucky" ... 'cause she got to spend Christmas with her younger son, Jayden James!

Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Jayden spent the holiday with the "Toxic" hitmaker, which was all around "great" for the pair. Meanwhile, her older son, Sean Preston, stayed back in Louisiana due to work obligations ... so he celebrated with his aunt, Jamie Lynn Spears, and her family.

The "Zoey 101" alum posted a family pic that showed Sean grinning with his arms around her eldest daughter, Maddie, and his grandmother, Lynne Spears. Also posing in the family snap were Jamie Lynn's husband, Jamie Watson, and their 7-year-old daughter, Ivey.

Diddy received a Christmas treat as he spent his second holiday behind bars -- a visit from his son, Justin!

Diddy’s rep, Juda Engelmayer, tells TMZ … Justin Combs visited Diddy at Fort Dix Prison in New Jersey on Christmas Day, and they spoke a bunch, catching up on life and each other. Specifically, we're told they talked about how to manage life in this time, to pray, appreciate loved ones and reflect on the past with a resolution to do better going forward. But ... there were no physical gifts passed around, as that is not allowed.

Diddy continued his introspection on Christmas day with a few inmates when they had their own private reflective mass, Engelmayer adds.

Richard Taite, an addiction-recovery expert, says Nick Reiner's relationship to his famous father and grandfather may have led to problems of self-worth as he grew up ... and he says Nick's struggles and extensive history in rehab may have been a result.

As you know, Nick Reiner is charged with murdering his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner ... and Nick had earlier been in and out of rehab for substance abuse, and was diagnosed with schizophrenia before the tragedy.

Taite -- the founder and executive chairman of Carrara Treatment -- points out mental illness is almost always attached to drug addiction and alcoholism saying ... "they're one and the same."

Bam Margera has agreed to pay $2,500 per month in child support to his estranged wife Nikki Boyd ... TMZ has learned.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, payments are due to start on the first of January for Bam and Nikki's 8-year-old son, Phoenix.

The papers state Nikki has agreed to provide and maintain Phoenix's healthcare coverage.

This comes after Nikki initially requested Bam pay her $15,000 per month, claiming Bam's net worth was around $55 million. But now it looks like they came to an agreement for a much lower monthly amount.

Steven Spielberg is no fan of Ben Affleck and even refused to work with the actor after an incident involving the legendary director's child, according to Mike Binder.

Binder -- who's also a Hollywood filmmaker -- made the shocking claim about Spielberg and Affleck on a recent episode of Stephen Baldwin's podcast, "One Bad Movie."

Binder says the bad blood began when Spielberg approached him years ago about collabing on a movie called "Man About Town," which Spielberg was interested in directing himself. Binder says the two struck a deal with a handshake ... but things took a wrong turn when Affleck signed on as the star.
