They won’t be a trio for much longer!

Jeff Gordon, wife Ingrid Vandebosch and daughter Ella Sofia, who turns 3 later this month, attend the Fourth Annual Baby Buggy Bedtime Bash on Thursday at Wollman Rink Central Park in New York City.

The NASCAR star and his model wife expect their second child — a son — the first week of August.

“I don’t know how you can have any more love than we already have for [Ella],” Gordon, 38, said recently.

“So I’m excited to see how I react to having a second child as well as having a boy this time.”

Ever since they created the first “jelly”, shoe company Melissa has been on a roll. From sleek flats to pretty heels, their colorful footwear is not only chic, it’s fun. Each shoe is made with the finest (and softest) PVC that smells like bubblegum.

With a little help from Vivienne Westwood, they’ve launched their first mini collection. And it’s beyond cute! Available in six colors, the slip-on sandals ($100) are pint-size versions of the Lady Dragon Bow and Love heels.

Want some for your little princess? They’re currently available in the U.S. at Brooklyn-based boutique, Epaulet. Check them out at EpauletShop.com.

Cat Cora’s Tips and Tricks For Getting Kids to Eat

Amanda Schwab/Startraks

Raising four boys while managing a busy career is a team effort for Cat Cora.

The celebrity chef tells WebMD magazine that she has surrounded herself with good people, both at work and at home.

“If it weren’t for my partner, Jennifer, I would not be able to do all I do,” Cora, 43, reveals. “She does so much.”

The couple — for obvious reasons — approach dinnertime with enthusiasm and to that end Cora says Zoran, 6, Caje, 3, Thatcher Julius, 13 months, and Nash Lemuel, 10 months, have been exposed to a wide variety of tastes and textures from an early age.

“Jennifer and I introduced spices — ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg — when the children started eating rice cereal to help develop their palates by balancing the savory with the sweet,” she explains.

Joey Fatone: I Want to Make My Family Proud

Former ‘NSYNC member Joey Fatone never had a problem impressing girls — until it came to his own daughter, 9-year-old Briahna Joely.

“I want my kids to be excited about what I do,” Fatone, who has signed on for a guest appearance on Disney’s Imagination Movers, tells Time Out New York Kids.

“My daughter doesn’t care about what I did with ‘NSYNC, but once I did Hannah Montana about a year ago, I became God to her.”

And while his eldest girl — Fatone and his wife Kelly welcomed a second daughter Kloey Alexandra in January — may not be interested in her dad’s singing days, Briahna does love visiting his former stomping grounds: New York City.

“There’s a pizza place in Brooklyn she loves called Spumoni Gardens,” he shares.

“She keeps asking if she’s from New York or from Florida. I tell her she’s a Floridian, but she’s kind of a New Yorker because I keep bringing her back to taste all the food and culture.”
