Making true on her promise to fully incorporate her first-born Xen in the process of welcoming a second son into the family, Tisha Campbell-Martin reveals he had the honor of choosing baby boy’s name!

Initially worried as the 8-year-old was strictly inspired by cartoon characters, Tisha couldn’t be happier with his final choice: Ezekiel Czar. “He said, ‘Zeke’ without hesitating,” she tells Us Weekly.

And since choosing his baby brother’s name, the sibling love has been nothing but strong between the pair. “He loves being a big brother,” the proud mama raves of her “considerate” son.

“He’ll say, ‘Mom, after you’re done handling the baby, can we all snuggle together?’”

Having truly looked forward to a second turn at motherhood, Tisha is rejoicing in each milestone with her 3-month-0ld. “Every little thing is a miracle,” she admits. “He just started smiling.”

While she may be busy with her responsibilities as a mother of two boys, the Rita Rocks actress is making her body after baby a priority. “I work out every day. I like boxing and spinning,” she says. Her goal?

“I just want to get back down to 130. Breastfeeding helps!”

Xen and Zeke are Tisha’s children with husband Duane Martin.

Jennifer Lopez: Children Have Changed Me 'To a Certain Extent'

Songwriters often write about what they know best, but for Jennifer Lopez — who is happily married to Marc Anthony and the proud mother of twins Maximilian David and Emme Maribel, 21 months — her new album Love? may take fans by surprise.

Appearing on Allure‘s January issue, the singer and actress clarifies that people won’t find songs raving “how great your life is and how it changed and how beautiful,” but can instead expect the harsh reality of love. “It questions…why you do the things you do, and why other people do certain things that they do,” she explains.

However, Jennifer insists, her latest work is still inspired by her personal life.

“To a certain extent, having children did change me, but it made me want to look at the places that I wasn’t great and learn to love myself and take care of myself more.”

Although she admits she has thought about love since she was a little girl, Jennifer now counts on Marc for it all — even when it comes to needing his support to walk the red carpet. During the 2009 Golden Globe Awards — one year after delivering the twins — Jennifer showed off her curvy figure in a revealing gold gown.

“I hadn’t worn a dress like that since I’d had the babies. I still wasn’t back to my normal self,” she says. “But I knew Marc would be the most honest with me and he said, ‘You want to wear that, you should — you look beautiful.’”

In addition to his devotion to her, Marc has also helped her keep the paparazzi at bay. “It’s cool for a while. You’re happy because it’s part of knowing you’re successful…and then finally it becomes destructive,” she notes.

That said, the paparazzi have been on hand to capture her fair share of momentous occasions over the years!

Trying to hide her pregnancy despite persistent speculation in 2007, Jennifer took to the runway in a seafoam mini dress to present her JustSweet clothing line alongside designer Sophie Na. In retrospect, Jennifer can’t help but laugh at her not-so-inconspicuous belly!

“I was pregnant and it was getting harder to hide,” she admits. “I wanted to wear something in the line, but the whole outfit is wrong. I should have swapped with Sophie Na.”
