Chris O’Donnell: Couple Time Is Crucial

Father-of-five Chris O’Donnell and his wife Caroline love being out with their brood — but that doesn’t mean the kids have to go everywhere.

The NCIS: Los Angeles star recently returned from a desert getaway for two. “It wasn’t a family trip — it was an adult trip — but ultimately it was a couple days with just the two of us,” he shares. “I think that’s really important.”

Fortunately, with lights out at 8 p.m. for Lily Anne, 10 ½, Christopher ‘Chip’ Eugene, 9, Charles McHugh, 6 ½, Finley, 4 this month, and Maeve Frances, 2, the couple need not travel far from home to unwind with a bit of one-on-one time each evening.

“They’re asleep … so that’s kind of our time,” O’Donnell explains, adding that the same rings true for the weekends. “It’s not the worst thing to stay home on a Saturday night and hang out.”

Spotted: Matthew McConaughey & Levi Stop For a Snack!

Snack break! Matthew McConaughey and son Levi, 20 months, took a breather and ate some yogurt while visiting the Central Park Zoo on Wednesday in New York City.

The pair enjoyed a father-son day out while mom Camila Alves, little sister Vida and Grandma made the press rounds to promote Shear Genius.

We saw the entire family at the park the day prior, where Levi had just as much energy!

Naomi Watts Gives Us a Sneak-Peek at Target’s New Liberty of London Line!

She may have two boys — Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete, 2 ½, and Samuel Kai, 14 months — of her own, but Naomi Watts hit the girls’ racks at the Liberty of London for Target pop-up store launch on Wednesday in New York to shop for her 10-month-old niece.

“I’ve bought all sorts of dresses for her,” the actress told PEOPLE’s Celebrity Baby Blog. “Pretty dresses and a bikini — it makes me really want to have another baby, a girl, so I can dress her up a bit!”

At the event, Watts — and a select group of shoppers — browsed everything from cute mini sundresses and rainboots to elegant teapots and canisters in the signature floral prints British-based Liberty of London is known for.

“[As a kid growing up in London], I would go along Regent Street and look at the windows and dream about their fabrics,” Naomi recalled. “The patterns are so feminine and pretty.”

Kimora Lee Simmons: We Practice For Another Baby 'All the Time'


Fame

Fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons‘ newest vision has nothing to do with sketches and fabrics for her line: the reality star is busy envisioning herself as a mother-of-four!

“We practice all the time and it’s a lot of fun,” she tells OK! of her plans to expand her family with Djimon Hounsou. “I can definitely see having more.”

So can her actor husband, who is looking forward to more kids — despite his first-time father jitters! “He’s totally amazing. It’s really changed his life,” Kimora, 34, notes. “Seeing him change a diaper and get up in the middle of the night … he’s very nervous.”

Already mom to two “very girly girls” with ex-husband Russell Simmons, Kimora is hoping to give her son Kenzo, 9 months, a baby brother. “I would love to have another boy,” she reveals. And if her wishes come true, Ming, 10, and Aoki, 7 ½, may find themselves placing their toys a few shelves higher.

“[Kenzo] wants to crash things and bash things. Boys are definitely rougher and more aggressive.”

Having shed “about 40 to 50 pounds” since giving birth, Kimora — who is “still working on her body” — insists she doesn’t get caught up in the numbers. Instead, she lets her clothes do the talking!

“I really go by how things fit,” she explains, adding that bouncing back after baby isn’t all about the weight loss. “It’s about peace of mind, healthiness and happy living,” Kimora says.

The season premiere of Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane airs Mar. 21st.
