Patrick McEnroe and Melissa Errico Welcome Twins Diana and Juliette

In better late than never news, tennis star Patrick McEnroe and his wife, singer and actress Melissa Errico, welcomed twin girls last fall! In her first update to her fans since the birth of the baby girls, Melissa shares that daughters Diana and Juliette were born on Wednesday, November 19th at 38 weeks. While the songstress considers herself “lucky” to have carried the twins full-term, she admits that the couple still hadn’t chosen names for their new babies! After spending the first few days referring to the girls as “A and B because I couldn’t decide for sure on names,” the 38-year-old realized she had to make a decision.

“I loved the name Diana because it means ‘goddess of the hunt’ and ‘goddess of childbirth’ and I wanted to find a nice name for the smaller baby (B) and couldn’t decide between Caroline and Juliette. I love Juliette and that name won out after I spent a few days calling her Caroline and finding myself confused how to pronounce it (Carolin? or caroLINE?).”

Nervous for the couple’s older daughter Victoria Penny, 2 ½, to meet her new little sisters, Melissa admits she found the meeting between the girls — when the twins were three days old — left her a bit sentimental! “That was emotional for me — I really wanted her to not be afraid, to be excited, to accept all these changes as much as possible.” However, while seeing her mama in the hospital was “a little unnerving” for Victoria, Melissa shares that “the day turned out beautifully.”

Charlie Sheen: Brooke, Twins Are Doing Great

Sara Jaye Weiss/Startraks

She’s in the homestretch! In her last trimester — she’s due April 26th — Brooke Mueller is more than looking forward to the arrival of her twin boys with her husband, actor Charlie Sheen.

According to Charlie, the pregnant mama is “doing really good,” as he boasts that she has focused her attention on herself and the boys in an effort to stay healthy. “She’s changed her diet. She’s gotten very strict and disciplined,” says Charlie, adding that Brooke is “measuring ten months and seven months.”

However, while 31-year-old Brooke agrees the twins are “measuring great — big and healthy,” she admits she is feeling the strains of pregnancy. “I’m not feeling so great,” she explains.

Despite her difficult pregnancy — Brooke suffered from severe morning sickness — the couple are not ruling out the possibility of more kids in the future. “Yeah, I think we would. Give us a few years,” says Charlie.

For now, all that’s on Brooke and Charlie’s minds are making the final decisions on their baby names! Luckily, laughs Charlie, they’ve “got it narrowed down to like eight.”

While the twins will be Brooke’s first children, Charlie has daughters Cassandra Jade, 24, with ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt, as well as Sam, 4 ½, and Lola Rose, 3 ½, with ex-wife Denise Richards.

Naomi Watts On Her Life With Liev

It wasn’t long ago that Naomi Watts believed her aspirations of becoming a successful actress were a bit “far-fetched,” but now that the Australian native has more than surpassed her wildest dreams, she is perfectly content with the way her life has unfolded. One area of her life where she is not fantasizing however, is that of her relationship with actor Liev Schreiber.

According to Naomi, the couple couldn’t be happier with where their lives have taken them. “It’s not like I’ve grown up having this dream of a fairy-tale wedding. My mother married twice and had two divorces. And Liev comes from the same background,” she explains. Leaving their options open, Naomi reveals that despite their continued engagement – he gifted her with a “beautiful ring” – marriage isn’t completely out of the question.

“Maybe one day we’ll just wake up and go, ‘Hey, let’s do this.’ And maybe not. He and I have a family. We’re very much together. We just don’t have that certificate and that’s okay with both of us.”

Instead, the couple have turned all their attention on their two boys, 18-month-old Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete and 7-week-old Samuel ‘Sammy’ Kai. Admitting that “the level of exhaustion is pretty extreme,” the proud mama jokes that, these days, breastfeeding has consumed her life — and mind! “I’ve got a lactose lobotomy,” laughs Naomi.
