Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Hayden Panettiere</a> opened up about her experience with postpartum depression. 
The “Heroes” alum made the comments during an interview with E! News&#8217; “The Rundown.” 
&#8220;I wish I knew about postpartum depression. I wish I knew to look out for it,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1369252/hayden-panettiere-shares-what-really-hurts-about-postpartum-struggles">told</a> host Erin Lim Rhodes. &#8220;I just thought there was something seriously wrong with me, so I thought, &#8216;Fireball will fix this—duh!&#8217; And it didn&#8217;t. It does for a moment, but then it makes everything worse,” Panettiere said, referring to a brand of whiskey.
&#8220;And then it hurts for you,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;You&#8217;re like, &#8216;I should be able to get over this all by myself.'&#8221;
&#8220;I wish somebody told me that that was a possibility, told me it&#8217;s OK if you birth your <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">child</a> and you&#8217;re not immediately like, &#8216;Oh my God, I love you more than anything in the entire world!'&#8221; Panettiere said. &#8220;It&#8217;s OK and not abnormal if [your baby] comes out and it&#8217;s a blob, and you&#8217;re like, &#8216;Oh my gosh, this is like a crazy little creation that I&#8217;m going to love when I get to know you.'&#8221;
The actress shares daughter Kaya, 8, with her ex Wladimir Klitschko. She previously talked about battling substance abuse.
&#8220;I could relate to a lot of those storylines like the alcoholism and postpartum depression. They hit close to home,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2022/07/06/hayden-panettiere-addiction-postpartum-depression/7818825001/">said</a> in 2022 of her role on the hit drama “Nashville.”
&#8220;People around me were more concerned about my usage of alcohol than they ever were about the postpartum depression,&#8221; she went on.

The “Scream 6” star said this affected her relationship with Klitschko. 
&#8220;He didn&#8217;t want to be around me. I didn&#8217;t want to be around me,&#8221; the actress said. &#8220;But with the opiates and alcohol I was doing anything to make me feel happy for a moment. Then I&#8217;d feel worse than I did before. I was in a cycle of self-destruction.&#8221;
&#8220;Once you&#8217;re the identified patient as the alcoholic and not as a girl, a woman going through postpartum depression then they don&#8217;t believe anything that comes outta your mouth,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It&#8217;s frustrating. It&#8217;s heartbreaking. You wanna break down and cry, which makes you look even worse. But not being believed, I think to anybody not being believed is — when they&#8217;re telling the truth — is painful.&#8221;
&#8220;I never had the feeling that I wanted to harm my child, but I didn&#8217;t want to spend any time with her,” Panettiere said of her initial experience with becoming a mother.

The young mother who was mocked by Katy Perry on American Idol, prompting outrage among fans and a viral video of the exchange, has issued a stinging reply in a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sarabethliebe/video/7208326246369873198">TikTok video</a>.
Sara Beth Liebe, 25, <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/leylamohammed/katy-perry-mom-shaming-american-idol-contestant-sara-beth?d_id=5620666&amp;ref=bftwbuzzfeed&amp;utm_source=dynamic&amp;utm_campaign=bftwbuzzfeed">revealed</a> on the show that she had borne three children by the time she was 25. That prompted Perry to pretend she was going to faint. Liebe commented, “If Katy lays on the table, I think I&#8217;m going to pass out,” to which Perry replied, “Honey, you been laying on the table too much.”

“Recently I auditioned on American Idol, actually you may or may not have seen, and while I was on the show there was a joke that was made that’s gotten some attention and I’ve gotten a lot of people reaching out to me asking how I’m feeling,” Liebe began. “So, I figured this was probably the easiest way to address it.”
“I got scouted to go and audition on American Idol and sing in front of Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry, and at the start of my audition, before I sang, I mentioned that I had three children and was a young mother and Katy Perry made a joke that wasn’t super kind and that’s what this is all, I guess, about,” she added.
“I don’t really have too much to say on my feelings about it because I feel like it’s probably pretty self-explanatory,” she continued. “I mean, it was embarrassing to have that on TV and it was hurtful and you know, that’s that. But I did want to take this opportunity to just say that I think that women supporting and uplifting other women is so cool and I think that mom-shaming is super lame and I think that it’s hard enough to be a mom and it’s hard enough to be a woman. And I also wanted to take this opportunity to say that I see all of the young moms and just moms in general who have commented on all of the videos and posts and everything and I just wanted to say that I see you and I hear you and I am grateful for you and you’re worthy and keep loving your babies.”
“Nobody deserves to feel crappy about that,” she declared. “Like I mean, bottom line, I don’t think there’s anything really more to it. And I think if you’re a good mama and you love your babies that that’s all that really matters and other comments just don’t feel necessary and that’s all I have to say on the matter.”
“So thanks for the love guys. I’m putting out music now, I guess, and you want to listen. Bye,” she concluded.
Perry also said to Liebe when she was finished singing, “I feel like a comic book strip character just came to life. &#8230; Look, if it&#8217;s not your dream, you&#8217;re not gonna go far.”

Ireland Baldwin, daughter of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alec-baldwin">Alec Baldwin</a>, caused an uproar on Tuesday after posting photos of her stripper-themed baby shower to Instagram.
The event took place in California at Jumbo’s Clown Room, an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood">East Hollywood</a> adult entertainment club. The 27-year-old model and actress boasted about the event by sharing a carousel of photos that highlighted the raunchy entertainment.
“Way too many of these to post but it’ll have to come in parts,” Baldwin wrote in the caption. “My friends and family threw us a very traditional baby shower as you can see. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I was showered… in booty.”

She went on to thank the strip club for “making dreams come true&#8221; and being “so kind.” In a follow-up, the soon-to-be first-time mom wrote, “baby’s first strip club extravaganza.”
Photos included shots of Baldwin wearing revealing black lingerie and sporting a pink wig reminiscent of Natalie Portman’s stripper character in the movie “Closer.” The celeb can be seen hugging her mom, Kim Basinger, while covered in dollar bills. 
Other images show stripper performers performing lap dances for the guests and dancing around poles while wearing fake pregnant bellies. There’s also a photo of a pink-frosted cake that says, “Baby’s first strip club” and personalized napkins featuring the baby’s sonogram.
Baldwin’s followers weren’t all on board for the explicit display.

“Hollywood is a strange place,” one person observed.
“What has become of this generation?? God help them please!!” another commenter wrote.
“Its crazy we have to say stop sexualizing children and now we even have to say stop sexualizing the preborn,” another account shared.
“There is something so wrong and messed up with us. What world do we live in?” another chimed in.
Along with many negative comments, some followers applauded the surprising baby shower theme. “Wow, normally baby showers are such a bore, this one, and the other hand looks like the best baby shower ever,” one account said.
Baldwin announced she was pregnant on December 31, 2022, by sharing a sonogram photo on Instagram. The child&#8217;s father is her musician boyfriend, André Allen Anjos, known professionally as RAC.
In January, the model acknowledged that pregnancy was more challenging than expected. &#8220;I am grateful but I am struggling,&#8221; Baldwin <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkTlfWv6xU/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=d6b729ba-ec31-455b-920b-2fb5a8523aa2">said</a> at the time. &#8220;Pregnancy is hard. It takes so much out of you. I wasn&#8217;t ready for that.&#8221; 
&#8220;It&#8217;s hard moving somewhere with no family. It&#8217;s hard not being really close to family to begin with because they live far or are idiots that I want nothing to do with,&#8221; she continued. “I know everyone has an entirely different experience and mine is easy compared to most, but f*** it&#8217;s a struggle.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">Country music</a> star Kelsea Ballerini said one of the reasons she and Morgan Evans divorced was because he wanted to have children immediately, but she preferred to delay <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">motherhood</a> and freeze her eggs instead.
The 29-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">singer</a> discussed what happened during Wednesday&#8217;s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. Ballerini said her five-year marriage ended when she and Evans discovered they had differing opinions on how and when to start their family.
&#8220;That was something that we had talked about early on, and that was something that I was changing on,&#8221; she said during the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7bnjJ7Va1nM07Um4Od55dW">interview</a>. &#8221;Cause he was ready. He was like, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to be an old dad,&#8217; is what he kept saying. And I was like, &#8216;I&#8217;m not there yet, and I can&#8217;t do that to save this and give you something that I&#8217;m not ready for.'&#8221;
Ballerini said she “wasn’t ready for kids” and decided to visit a doctor to discuss egg freezing, which she planned to do before turning 30. She didn’t discuss the appointment with Evans until later.
&#8220;It was not a good day,&#8221; Ballerini said of telling her husband about her plan. &#8220;And I think that was when I was like, there&#8217;s a fundamental difference here that has happened, that has shifted. And it&#8217;s no longer like, I don&#8217;t see this person, I miss this person, I&#8217;m alone, I&#8217;m lonely. It&#8217;s like, he wants something out of life … [and] I&#8217;m not there.&#8221;
&#8220;And whether I&#8217;ll get there or not, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s with this person if it is,” she continued. “And I think internally in hindsight, that&#8217;s where I went like, &#8216;I think maybe we need to rethink this, Kels.'&#8221;
The “Half of My Hometown” singer said she filed for divorce not long after that conversation in August 2022. Their split was finalized in November of the same year.
Evans responded to the podcast episode with an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Co8SLNWs5va/?hl=en">post</a>.

&#8220;It&#8217;s really sad for me to see this person, who I spent so much of my life with, and loved with all my heart, saying things that aren&#8217;t reality and that leave out what really happened,&#8221; he wrote.
Evans continued: &#8220;She knows I&#8217;m not the type of guy to speak on those things publicly. If this is what she needs to heal, I hope it helps. All I ask is that if you&#8217;re on my pages, please don&#8217;t be mean. Don&#8217;t be mean to Kelsea, don&#8217;t be mean to each other. Life&#8217;s too short.&#8221;

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jane-fonda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jane Fonda</a> admitted that one of the biggest regrets she&#8217;s had in her life is not being &#8220;the kind of mother&#8221; she wished she&#8217;d been to her three kids, and said she just honestly &#8220;didn&#8217;t know how to do it.&#8221;
During the 85-year-old actress&#8217; recent appearance with Chris Wallace on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9bPOP4PnlY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, Fonda said she&#8217;s not afraid of dying, but does have a few regrets, one of which is the kind of parent she was to daughters Vanessa Vadim, Mary Williams, and son Troy Garity.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not scared of dying,&#8221; the &#8220;Book Club&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jane-fonda-reveals-shes-been-diagnosed-with-cancer-starts-chemo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">star</a> explained. &#8220;It&#8217;s an adventure. You know, I don&#8217;t want to go. I still have a lot to do. But &#8230; what I&#8217;m really scared of is getting to the end of life with a lot of regrets when there&#8217;s no time to do anything about it.&#8221;

&#8220;I have very few regrets,&#8221; Fonda told the host. &#8220;I was not the kind of mother that I wish that I had been to my children. But I have great, great children, talented, smart. And I just didn&#8217;t know how to do it.&#8221;
The &#8220;80 For Brady&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jane-fonda-says-thered-be-no-climate-crisis-if-not-for-racism-and-twitter-has-thoughts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">star</a> said that over the years, she&#8217;s made it a point to try and &#8220;show up&#8221; for her children after learning later in life what parenting is &#8220;supposed&#8221; to be, &#8220;<a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/family/story/jane-fonda-regrets-type-mom-3-kids-im-97354612" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Good Morning America</a>&#8221; noted.
&#8220;You know, I have an organization in Georgia [Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention] that deals with adolescents,&#8221; Fonda shared. &#8220;And I&#8217;ve studied parenting. I know what it&#8217;s supposed to be now. I didn&#8217;t know then. So I&#8217;m trying to show up now.&#8221;
Fonda’s comments were similar to ones she made in 2017 when <a href="https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/porter/article-c0afa78a389fe2a2/cover-stories/cover-stories/jane-fonda-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speaking</a> with actress Brie Larson, as she explained &#8220;it&#8217;s never too late&#8221; to make up for not being a better parent.
&#8220;I am trying to make up for what I didn&#8217;t know before,&#8221; Fonda shared at the time. &#8220;When I die, I want my family to be around me. I want them to love me and I have to earn that. I&#8217;m still working at it.&#8221;
Fonda was previously married to late French filmmaker Roger Vadim, with whom she shared Vanessa Vadim. In 1973, she and ex-husband Tom Hayden, a late anti-war activist, welcomed son Troy Garity. In the 1980s, Fonda adopted her third child, Mary Williams.

Jane Fonda Says She Regrets Not Being ‘The Kind Of Mother’ She Wished She’d Been To Her Three Kids

Jane Fonda

Singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pink">Pink</a> said she was nervous about becoming a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">mom</a>. 
The 43-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">star</a> discussed her fears during a recent <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/pink-terrified-id-terrible-mother-130000253.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with People. &#8220;I did not know I was going to have a family. I didn&#8217;t picture that for myself because I was terrified I would be a terrible mother,&#8221; Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore Hart, told the publication. 
&#8220;But, oh my God, being a mom is the most incredible thing I&#8217;ve ever done. It&#8217;s shocking how responsible I&#8217;ve become.&#8221;
The “Just Give Me A Reason” singer went on to describe some of the average parenting responsibilities she has. &#8220;I was in charge of snacks for last week&#8217;s basketball game; I&#8217;m chaperoning [11-year-old daughter] Willow&#8217;s dance next Friday. &#8230; Who am I?&#8221; she continued. &#8220;But I love it.&#8221;
The mom of two said her busy touring schedule has led to having some tough conversations with Willow. 
&#8220;We finally had to have this really teary conversation about what I do and that it&#8217;s hard as a mom, and that&#8217;s why not a lot of moms do it,&#8221; Pink told People. 
&#8220;I told her, &#8216;It&#8217;s going to suck, and I won&#8217;t go longer than 10 days without you &#8230; or I&#8217;ll quit. I&#8217;ll walk away tomorrow. What do you want?&#8217; And she was like, &#8216;Don&#8217;t quit, Mama. I will just miss you sometimes. And I love what you do.&#8217; And I was like, &#8216;I love what I do too. I worked my ass off for it, and I&#8217;m not going to apologize for that. Also, it affords you a very nice life!'&#8221;
During a recent Today show appearance, Pink <a href="https://www.insider.com/pink-daughter-tour-job-minimum-wage-2023-2">said</a> she decided to give Willow a “minimum wage” job as part of her tour crew.
&#8220;Willow has a job on tour,&#8221; the singer said. &#8220;We just had to go over minimum wage and it&#8217;s different state to state.&#8221;
Pink also recalled teaching her daughter how to negotiate her salary. 
&#8220;I said it&#8217;s about $22.50 a show depending how long I go, if I run over. She goes, &#8216;I&#8217;ll take $20. it&#8217;s easier to do the math.&#8217; I&#8217;m like &#8216;That&#8217;s not how you negotiate for yourself.&#8217; I&#8217;m like, &#8216;You&#8217;ll take $25 so it&#8217;s easier math,&#8221; the singer said.
Previously, Pink had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pink-was-told-having-kids-would-ruin-her-career-explains-why-she-had-them-anyway">talked about</a> how she was encouraged not to have kids early in her career because they would ruin her shot at fame. “Everyone told me, ‘If you have children right now, your career’s over,&#8217;” she said.
“Obviously, we’re all much more complex than any of that, but when I had a child, I think it softened me to the world, the part that didn’t understand me,” Pink continued. “And I think that’s when my career began, really. I mean, I did a lot of stuff before that, but really, truly, I think it’s when I started to really understand myself and understand the world and my place in it.”

Pink Said She Was 'Terrified' She'd Be A 'Terrible' Mother

Media personality <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/meghan-mccain">Meghan McCain</a> said she’s being pressured to lose the baby weight just one month after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">giving birth</a>.
The 38-year-old mom of two discussed the situation in an <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11772269/MEGHAN-MCCAIN-just-baby-Im-urged-miracle-shot-Ozempic-refuse.html">op-ed</a> in The Daily Mail. McCain said she’d been encouraged to use the prescription drug Ozempic, which has become a hot topic of conversation as celebrities have been using it for weight loss. 
The former co-host of “The View” just welcomed her second daughter, Clover Jade, on January 19. She and husband Ben Domenech also have a 2-year-old daughter named Liberty Sage.
&#8220;I just gave birth and I&#8217;m being urged to take a &#8216;miracle shot&#8217; of Ozempic as a quick fix &#8230; It&#8217;s horrifying, unfair and disturbing — and I refuse,&#8221; the op-ed title proclaims.
The article says McCain has been asked about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/obesity">weight loss</a> even now, just four weeks postpartum, and that those people have been suggesting Ozempic specifically. 
&#8220;In case you&#8217;re unaware, there is a craze sweeping the nation: a new &#8216;miracle&#8217; drug. One injection, once a week, for a cool $1,000 a pop, and you can just melt the pounds away,&#8221; she wrote.
&#8220;Elon Musk says he uses it. Kyle Richards, of ‘Real Housewives’ fame, who recently flaunted newly emerged abs, has denied taking it. But fellow reality TV star Jackie Goldschneider claimed &#8216;a lot&#8217; of her fellow cast members are on it,&#8221; the columnist continued.
McCain wrote that there are &#8220;people who legitimately struggle with obesity and need Ozempic. But I am not one of those people.&#8221; That’s why she was surprised when &#8220;casual friends&#8221; and &#8220;industry acquaintances&#8221; inquired if she planned to take it.
&#8220;I&#8217;m told &#8216;everyone is doing it,&#8217; as if that was ever a compelling case,&#8221; she went on. &#8220;I hear, &#8216;Just take the shot,&#8217; as it has become known in shorthand. I was even offered a black market freebie by someone with &#8216;extra shots at home.'&#8221;
&#8220;Well, let me make one thing very clear. I&#8217;m not taking it. I refuse,” McCain concluded. “There&#8217;s a clear moral issue here. It&#8217;s hard to take a drug because swimsuit season is around the corner, while others need it to stay alive. And how can this be healthy?&#8221;
Ozempic is an anti-diabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and is also used to treat obesity. There have been shortages of the drug as it gains popularity in the Hollywood community and beyond as a so-called miracle weight loss drug that helps suppress appetite and slow down gastric emptying, which makes users feel fuller for longer.
It’s administered via a weekly injection. Recently, comedian Chelsea Handler admitted she was on Ozempic without realizing it.

Singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pink">Pink</a> recalled being told early in her career that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">having children</a> would destroy her shot at fame, but she found the opposite to be true.
The 43-year-old star, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore Hart, shares two children with husband Carey Hart. During an appearance on The Zane Lowe Show, she talked about the reaction in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music-industry">music industry</a> when she mentioned having kids, per <a href="https://people.com/parents/pink-recalls-being-told-having-kids-would-end-career/">People</a>.
&#8220;Everyone told me, &#8216;If you have children right now, your career&#8217;s over,'&#8221; Pink recalled. But instead of struggling, Pink said becoming a mom only expanded her creative horizons and helped her singing career.
&#8220;Obviously, we&#8217;re all much more complex than any of that, but when I had a child, I think it softened me to the world, the part that didn&#8217;t understand me,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And I think that&#8217;s when my career began, really. I mean, I did a lot of stuff before that, but really, truly, I think it&#8217;s when I started to really understand myself and understand the world and my place in it.&#8221;
The “So What” singer went on to discuss how her own complicated upbringing helped spur her desire to create a stable home life.
&#8220;Having a family was really important to me because my family life was screwed as a kid, and I&#8217;m super affectionate and cuddly and goofy. Just doing music wasn&#8217;t enough for me,&#8221; Pink said during the interview. &#8220;I was lonely. I was so lonely. It&#8217;s a very lonely business.&#8221;
&#8220;I love writing songs. I love singing songs. I love performing. Sitting with a guitar is one of my favorite things I&#8217;ll ever do, but cuddling with my babies and taking them camping and being dirty for three days is also one of the coolest things I&#8217;ll ever do, and making wine also happens to be pretty cool,&#8221; Pink said.
Pink is known for being pro-abortion. In June 2022, she set off fans by tweeting a message to conservatives in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned.
“Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay person&#8217;s business or marriage, or that racism is okay — THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F***ING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN. AND ALSO F*** RIGHT OFF. We good?” she <a href="https://twitter.com/Pink/status/1540816633039466496">tweeted</a> at the time.

Pink Was Told Having Kids Would Ruin Her Career, Explains Why She Had Them Anyway

Music Industry

A satirical video of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chelsea-handler">Chelsea Handler</a> sharing a day in the life of a single woman with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood">no kids</a> recently went viral, prompting a slew of different reactions on social media.
The 47-year-old comedian made the video as a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/feminism">spoof</a> of other “day in the life” videos that are popular on TikTok. &#8220;Day In the Life of A Childless Woman&#8221; begins with Handler explaining, &#8220;I wake up at 6 AM. I remember that I have no kids to take to school, so I take an edible, masturbate, and go back to sleep.&#8221;
Each segment of the video gets more outlandish, with the comedian saying she gets up at 12:30 PM to &#8220;get ready for a busy day of doing whatever the f*** I feel like.&#8221; 
&#8220;I put on my most impractical and stylish shoes since I won’t be chasing a child around the grocery store,&#8221; Handler continues, describing how she heads to her &#8220;fave spot in Paris to grab a croissant&#8221; and enjoys a peaceful time on the plane because she has “no screaming kids.&#8221;
Handler’s pretend day ends with her texting a random man, “Wanna f*** tonight?” and then traveling in a time machine to kill Adolf Hitler.
While the video, which was created for “The Daily Show,” is meant to be a joke, many viewers were quick to point out the elements of truth it contained. 
&#8220;This is extremely sad,&#8221; pro-life advocate Lila Rose responded to the clip.
“This is one of the saddest videos I’ve ever seen,” Libs of TikTok agreed.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Single feminists like Chelsea Handler attempt to make fun of women who are happy in their marriages with beautiful children to try make themselves feel better,” pro-life advocate Abby Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/AbbyJohnson/status/1625579060712595472">replied</a>. “Enjoy your wine nights and your hookups with men you’ll never see again. I’m more than happy with my husband and kids.”
“Yes, you’re really living your best life, aren’t you,” another reaction says. “Just to be clear, because it apparently needs to be said by parents, I wouldn’t trade 10,000 of your supposedly carefree childless days in Paris and sleeping in until noon for one smile from my baby girl.”
Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1625478962674561026">wrote</a>, &#8220;The best thing about this video is that it features her explaining that she can do whatever she wants as a person with no kids &#8212; and so she names a bunch of stuff she didn&#8217;t do, because her actual life consists of drinking a s***load of wine and being really, really sad.&#8221;
Other commenters argued that by 47, Handler or any mother could have grown children and be traveling and wearing heels again. 
“Chelsea Handler acts like she wouldn’t be able to do all the traveling and relaxing she does if she had kids. Said she gets to wear heels because she’s not ‘chasing a kid around a grocery store.’ Girl, you are 47. Your kids could be graduated from college and married by now,” conservative podcast host Allie Beth Stuckey <a href="https://twitter.com/conservmillen/status/1625588394091765762">observed</a>. 
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh pointed out that, technically, Handler is a mother.
“One thing to keep in mind about Chelsea Handler is that she has actually had three children,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1625850093256712193">tweeted</a>, referencing the television host’s abortions. “But she murdered all of them. That&#8217;s why she so desperately justifies her childlessness. Her ‘freedom’ was purchased with the blood of her own children.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rihanna">Rihanna</a> confirmed that her unborn baby was in fact the “surprise guest” she had hinted at during a pre-game interview before her halftime performance at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl LVII</a>.
A rep for the singer <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/rihannas-halftime-show-with-her-special-guest-was-perfect">verified</a> the news Sunday night after Rihanna’s tight-fitting outfit set the internet into a frenzy of speculation. The 34-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">star</a> could be seen rubbing her stomach during her performance of “Diamonds,” which led fans to assume she was referring to the child while singing.
Rihanna and rapper A$AP Rocky just welcomed their first baby last May. 
Just before the performance on Sunday, she had opened up about how motherhood changed the trajectory of her career. 
“Becoming a mother has only added to the inspiration in my life,” she told Elle in an <a href="https://www.elle.com/beauty/makeup-skin-care/a42688761/rihanna-personal-interview-2023/">interview</a>. 
The Barbados-born singer admitted she’s turned down projects since the birth of her first child but that she hasn&#8217;t stopped working completely. 
“Getting back to anything right now has to feel worth it because once you have a child, nothing seems worth it,” she <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-the-process-with-nate-bur-108099078/episode/rihanna-on-conquering-her-biggest-stage-108748240/">said</a> during an appearance on the podcast “The Process with Nate Burleson.”
“Nothing is, like, worthy of your time away from your kid, so I was very careful in the things that I said yes to,” Rihanna continued. “Super Bowl was one of them. ‘Wakanda Forever’ was the first thing that got me out of the house.”
The &#8220;Umbrella&#8221; singer also told People that her work-life balance was “almost impossible” now that she&#8217;s become a parent.
“No matter how you look at it, work is always something that’s going to rob you of time with your child. That’s the currency now, that’s where it goes. The magnitude of how much it weighs,&#8221; Rihanna said during a press conference with Apple Music, per <a href="https://people.com/parents/rihanna-work-life-balance-almost-impossible-new-mom/">People</a>.
“When you make decisions of what you’re going to say yes to, it has to be worth it,” she continued, noting how she dubbed her Super Bowl performance as a meaningful contribution.
“It’s important for me to do this this year. It’s important for representation. It’s important for my son to see that,” Rihanna explained.

Abortion activist singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rihanna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> spoke on Thursday about the wonders of motherhood during a press event for Super Bowl LVII&#8217;s coverage ahead of her headlining the halftime show in Arizona.
During <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-YccGwUbA8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Music&#8217;s</a> Nadeska Alexis event, the 34-year-old singer explained that she was initially hesitant about taking on the Super Bowl halftime show only a few months after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abortion-activist-rihanna-and-boyfriend-rapper-welcome-first-child-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">having a child</a> with rapper A$AP Rocky in May 2022, but decided it was important to do it.
&#8220;When you become a mom there&#8217;s something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world, you can do anything,&#8221; Rihanna explained.

&#8220;The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages of the world,&#8221; she added. &#8220;So, as scary as that was — because I haven&#8217;t been on stage in seven years — there&#8217;s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all.&#8221;
&#8220;And it&#8217;s important for me to do this year,&#8221; the Barbados-born singer continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s important for representation. For my son to see that.&#8221;
In January 2022, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. Later, Rihanna made numerous headlines with what she called her &#8220;rebellious” maternity style, and admitted she&#8217;d basically &#8220;challenged&#8221; herself to &#8220;push it further&#8221; than anyone had ever done with her belly-baring looks.
Months later, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abortion-activist-rihanna-says-shes-gonna-be-learning-more-from-her-kid-than-she-could-ever-teach-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> was featured on the cover of the May <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv9c9kSTrjk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue</a> issue in such an outfit, as the singer shared that her child is going to be teaching her more than she ever could &#8220;teach them.&#8221;
&#8220;So, I&#8217;m looking forward to it,&#8221; said the singer. &#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to being a teacher. But mostly being a student, cause I think I&#8217;m gonna be learning more from my kid than I could ever teach them.&#8221;
Despite Rihanna&#8217;s comments about motherhood, the singer has yet to publicly address being pro-abortion and a mom. She publicly <a href="https://twitter.com/rihanna/status/1129042058914742273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1129042058914742273%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fpregnant-rihanna-abortion-activist-says-body-creating-a-life-god-really-does-not-make-a-mistake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bashed</a> Republicans in Alabama in 2019 for passing pro-life legislation, the Human Life Protection Act, which outlaws most abortions, with an exception for a mother&#8217;s life being at risk, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pregnant-rihanna-abortion-activist-says-body-creating-a-life-god-really-does-not-make-a-mistake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

Abortion Activist Rihanna Talks About The Wonders Of Motherhood

Pregnancy

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heidi Klum</a> said Thursday that she’s thinking about having <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more children</a> at the age of 49.
The Victoria’s Secret model talked about her future family plans during an appearance on the “Jennifer Hudson Show,” Us Weekly <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/heidi-klum-has-considered-having-a-baby-with-husband-tom-kaulitz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Klum mentioned that she’s been thinking about adding to her brood with current husband, German musician Tom Kaulitz, after four years of marriage.
“It depends what day it is, sometimes I’m here [for it], sometimes here [where I am not], you know?” Klum said on the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a>. 
“I mean it’s a lot. I’ve done it four times. I breastfed eight months each time [with my four kids] and then I was pregnant again. Three times in a row. Again [my children are] 18, 17, 16, and then 13. Now I waited a long time, so maybe [yes].”
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Heidi Klum Entertains the Idea of Having Another Baby After Waiting ‘a Long Time’" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kAzeVpaAVag?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The “Project Runway” star became a mother when she and then-partner Flavio Briatore had daughter Leni in 2004. The pair broke up shortly after the baby’s birth.
Klum went on to marry performing artist Seal in 2005 and had three kids with him: Henry, 17, Johan, 16, and Lou, 13. They divorced in 2014. The supermodel then tied the knot in a private ceremony with Kaulitz in 2019.
Klum previously raved about her new husband’s adaptability to joining a blended family. “[Tom’s] amazing,” she told Us Weekly in January 2022. 
“I’m sure it’s not easy to step into an immediate family, having all of a sudden four kids and teenagers. They were easier when they were younger, for sure. Every age comes with its challenges. … It’s beautiful. It’s fun. I mean, so far, so good.”
During her most recent talk show appearance, Klum discussed what it’s like now that her eldest child is in college and the others are teenagers. 
“Because with four kids — well, now my oldest daughter moved to New York. She&#8217;s going to college in New York, which is so crazy. So, one room is already empty and dark — not empty she still has her things in there, but the light is off in that room,&#8221; she <a href="https://www.etonline.com/heidi-klum-talks-the-possibility-of-having-another-baby-i-waited-a-long-time-198456" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, per ET Online. 
&#8220;So, my other three, when they have friends over, it&#8217;s like a lot of kids,” she continued. “They run all over the house, and I don&#8217;t know where to go any more myself.&#8221;
