Meet Rocco Rio Reynolds!

As co-anchor of the morning show Good Day LA, Jillian Barberie Reynolds is used to functioning on barely any sleep.

That skill is coming in particularly handy with her second child, newborn son Rocco Rio, 3 weeks.

“I’m up every three hours,” Jillian told Life & Style during an exclusive interview at her LA home on Jan. 27.

“I don’t care. I Twitter while I’m breastfeeding him. I call it breast-tweeting!”

Jillian wasn’t quite as laid-back about Rocco’s Jan. 11 arrival — two weeks early — via cesarean section.

But she, husband Grant Reynolds (a stay-at-home dad) and their daughter, Ruby Raven, 2 ½, are happy just to go with the flow when it comes to their newest family member.

“At my age, I was so lucky to get pregnant without help,” Jillian, 43, says. “We didn’t plan it. It was just natural.”

And in this economy, she also feels fortunate to have a steady mom-friendly job.

“I have the perfect mom gig,” says Jillian, who is eyeing a late March or early April return to TV. “I work three hours a day on Good Day LA, and I’m home by 10:30 a.m.”

Liv Tyler Credits Bouncy Castles for Physique

Although they are famous for careers in acting and fashion design, respectively, Liv Tyler says that she and pal Stella McCartney are just like any other moms when it comes to girl talk.

In the March issue of ELLE UK, Liv, 32, reveals,

“Once our kids are asleep, it’s ‘grab the wine’ and talk turns to boys and husbands.”

Mom to 5-year-old Milo William, Liv says that her son is responsible for her svelte form — indirectly, at least! “Jumping on a bouncy castle has got to be the best exercise,” she notes.

Milo has also proven to be the motivating force behind his full-time city dweller mom’s contemplation of a quieter life in the countryside. Explains Liv,

“Before I die I want to live on a farm with chickens, a vegetable garden and a John Deere tractor.”

Milo is Liv’s only child with ex-husband Royston Langdon.

Roger Federer Says Fatherhood 'Enhances' Grand Slam Win

He’s won the Grand Slam singles title 15 times, but when Roger Federer defeated Andy Murray at the Australian Open on Sunday — bringing his total to 16 — it was the first time he did so as a dad. For the new father, taking home the trophy has been that much sweeter now that he is able to share it with his 6-month-old identical twin daughters, Charlene Riva and Myla Rose.

“Having kids and being a father now and being married enhances everything,” the tennis star, 28, tells ESPN. “I’m such a happy person today to see how well everything is working out for me. It just makes me extremely happy, extremely relaxed and it allows me to play good tennis, and I couldn’t ask for more.”

After celebrating his win with close friends — and champagne! –  at his hotel, Roger called it a night and headed back to his room at sunrise. Before he hit the pillow, however, he spent some quality time with a bright-eyed Myla, much to his delight.

“I quickly was able to see her, even though she’s got obviously no clue what happened,” he says.

“She couldn’t care less, but I still felt it was a special moment to hold her in my hands, in my arm after what happened, and it was nice.”

And while it certainly was a momentous occasion, being greeted by his baby girls isn’t anything new. Since Roger and his wife Mirka welcomed the girls last July, the doting dad has never spent a night away from his daughters.

“I feel like I’ve always had a good distance from the game,” he notes.

Who was the cutest little crooner at Henson Studios in Los Angeles yesterday? Two-year-old Harlow Winter Kate Madden!

The toddler joined dad Joel Madden to record an updated version of “We Are The World” to benefit Haitian earthquake relief.

“Watched Harlow flirt with Kanye, Carey Hart, Busta [Rhymes], Sean Garrett and the Jonas Brothers,” Joel Tweeted. “Just like her mom [Nicole Richie], she plays hard to get.”

Victoria Beckham's Cafeteria Career

Free time is practically nonexistent for Victoria Beckham, who — in addition to running her fashion line and the relaunch of Victoria Beckham Denim — recently tried her hand at judging American Idol auditions (and is back tonight for more!). However, when there’s a moment to spare, the former Spice Girl lives for her brood of boys.

“I travel a fair amount, and when I’m here in L.A., everything revolves around the kids,” she reveals in the March issue of Glamour.

Making true on her promise, Victoria doesn’t let the school day separate her from sons Brooklyn Joseph, 10 ½, Romeo James, 7, and Cruz David, 5 this month — she can often be spotted around the halls — and in the cafeteria — offering a hand where needed!

“If I’m not working, I go to the school and help serve lunches to the children,” she says. “They just love that. It’s like, ‘Oh, there’s Mummy serving me!’”

A mother of three boys, Victoria has made it no secret that she would love to welcome a baby girl to the family. And until the day she can share her impeccable sense of fashion with her daughter, Victoria has settled for her youngest son’s classmates!

“The other day I was there reading to Cruz’s class,” she recalls. “All the little girls were saying, ‘We really like your dress.’ And it was cute because I don’t have a girl.”

Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz are Victoria’s sons with soccer star David Beckham.
