Diaper Dude Dude Pack: The Knapsack On My Back

Diaper Dude paved the way for dads who are cool enough to carry a diaper bag. My husband and I take our two small boys on day trips nearly every weekend, and when we’re walking all over New York City we choose to be hands-free. I carry 15-month-old Egan on my back in my Ergo Baby Carrier and he carries the diaper bag while holding 4-year-old Finn’s hand. My innumerable tote bags just annoy him, but he loves his Diaper Dude Dude Pack ($98). Read More

Boris Becker Expecting Fourth Child

DPA/Landov

Less than two months after their posh wedding in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Wimbledon legend Boris Becker and his second wife, Sharlely ‘Lilly’ Kerssenberg, 33, are expecting a baby.

Boris, who has two sons with ex-wife Barbara Feltus, and a daughter from a brief affair, confirmed the happy news to the German newspaper Bild. “Yes, we’re going to be parents,” he said. “We are really looking forward to our baby.”

On June 12, the tennis star, 42, and his wife tied the knot in the Bergkappelle, or mountain chapel, in St. Moritz, 6,562 feet above sea level. Lilly was walked down the aisle by her 80-year-old grandmother, Esseline Kerssenberg-Bradley. Boris’ best man was his friend Luis Garcia Fanjul, a Mexican businessman.

Liev Schreiber 'Spiritually Younger' Since Becoming a Dad

Beaner/Splash News Online

Since becoming a father, Liev Schreiber may have sprouted a few gray hairs on his head, but the changes go beyond the external. The 41-year-old actor says he has become more youthful as a result of sons Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete, 2, and Samuel Kai, 7 ½ months.

“I feel much older,” Liev told PEOPLE at the New York City premiere of his film Taking Woodstock on Wednesday. “I’m older physically, but spiritually much younger.”

The once intense and guarded star is enjoying family life with longtime fiancée Naomi Watts, 40, and showing off his younger, carefree side as a result. Whether playing in the sand at the beach, swimming in a pool in Italy, or carrying his sons high atop his shoulders on the streets of New York, Liev is clearly relishing fatherhood.

The payoff is becoming clear, as his older son is starting to talk — and is on the verge of saying those three important words that all parents love to hear. “Sasha has learned how to say, ‘I love you,’” Liev shares. “It’s unrecognizable but he does say it. Rhythmically he can kind of sound it out. It kind of sounds like ‘Iwoveu,’ which is very exciting.”

Taking Woodstock opens nationwide in late August.

Rob and Amber Mariano Welcome Daughter Lucia Rose

They survived two seasons apiece on both CBS’s Survivor and The Amazing Race and even their own FOX reality show, Rob and Amber: Against the Odds. Now Rob and Amber Brkich Mariano are taking on their most daunting challenge yet — parenthood.

Amber, 30, gave birth to daughter Lucia Rose Mariano on the Fourth of July at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Fla., Rob, 33, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

With a first name of Italian origin meaning “light of God” and a middle name as a tribute to her paternal grandmother, who died on the Fourth of July, Lucia arrived weighing 6 lbs., 11.5 oz. and measuring 19 ¼ inches long. “Both mom and baby are healthy and doing great,” says Rob.

“Lucia is a great eater and sleeps a lot, however she tends to be a bit of a night owl like her daddy at times,” he adds. “She is a perfect baby and we could not have asked for anything more. We are over the moon with happiness at her arrival!”
