Meet Coco Mallon!
New mom Terri Seymour introduced her newborn daughter Coco in the latest issue of HELLO!. “The love you feel is beyond anything I’ve ever felt before,” gushed the Extra star, 40. “I’d been told about it, but it really is the most incredible bond and power I’ve ever experienced.”
Terri’s beau, male model Clark Mallon, 28, was at the birth on March 9 at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. And the British-born TV personality was thrilled to give birth naturally.
“I was over the moon there wasn’t a Caesarean, to be honest,” she shared. “At one point they were worried I would need one as I’d been pushing for a long time. But things came together and it went as planned.”
“You just cannot describe the experience of giving birth and they were right,” she added. “It’s very surreal and no matter what people tell you, words can’t really describe it. I’m actually so thankful I got to experience it.”
It sounds like choosing their daughter’s name was a no-brainer.
“We pretty much called her Coco as soon as we found out we were expecting a girl,” Terri shaired. “Clark was calling my bump Coco from the very beginning.”
The new mom can’t wait to meet up with ex-boyfriend Simon Cowell, his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their 14-month-old son Eric.
“We’re really looking forward to meeting up,” she said. “They can’t wait to meet Coco and introduce her to Eric.
“I have to thank Sharon Osbourne, too,” Terri added. “She sent over the most beautiful clothes for Coco – one was a stunning little dress with cherries all over it. She’s always so generous with her gifts and I’m always amazed. She has a great eye. Sharon and [her daughter] Kelly will be coming over to meet her, too.”
Fashion designer Rachel Roy and her ex-husband, former CEO and co-founder of Roc-a-Fella Records Damon Dash, have reached a custody agreement — and it doesn’t look favorable for Jay-Z‘s former business partner.
Dash, 43, has lost sole and physical custody of his two daughters – Ava, 15, and Tallulah, 6 – to his ex-wife, E! News reports.
The fashion designer, 41, also obtained a three-year restraining order against her ex, which includes an order of protection for their daughters.
The court has granted Dash supervised visits with their girls.
Roy filed for divorce from Dash in 2009 after four years of marriage. Since then, Roy was reportedly the cause of the now-infamous 2014 Met Gala elevator brawl between Jay-Z and Solange Knowles.
“At the gala, Rachel was being flirtatious with Jay,” a source revealed. “Once everyone was at the Boom Boom Room for the after-party, her flirtations were elevated.”
The insider added: “Beyoncé approached Rachel to let her know the behavior was disrespectful and she wanted her out of their lives for good. Solange came over to have her sister’s back, and things got heated with her and Rachel. Jay said some disrespectful things to Beyoncé and Solange as the confrontation was going down. That’s why all hell broke loose in the elevator and why Beyoncé just stood back and let Solange hit Jay.”
There’s another Duggar on-the-way.
Congratulations are in order for Jessa Duggar, 22, and Ben Seewald, 19. The 19 Kids and Counting stars – who celebrate their first wedding anniversary this year – are expecting their first child in November, PEOPLE reports.
“We’re expecting!” the mom-to-be tells the mag. “We are so excited. The due date is November first, our wedding anniversary.” Adds Ben: “We are looking forward to being parents.”
Jessa is the third daughter born to Jim Bob, 49 and Michelle Duggar, 48, and her husband is the oldest of seven Seewald children.
“I am feeling pretty good,” Jessa shares. “The morning sickness was different every day. It’s getting better, but I’m still hanging on to the heartburn. And I don’t have any super serious food cravings.”
Jessa recalls taking her pregnancy test before church one Sunday morning.
“I said, ‘Hey Ben, guess what? Yeah, you’re a dad.’ We couldn’t believe it,” she shares. “We are so excited. We have started talking baby names. It is one of those things that is so special, picking a name for a baby.”
As for their hopes to adopt one day, the couple is keeping that option open.
“Our hearts haven’t changed on adoption,” Jessa says. “We are still making plans.”
“We are trying to take it one day at a time,” Ben shares. “We pray every night that God helps us be good parents. We are getting advice from other parents.”
Jessa’s older sister Jill Dugar, 23 and her husband, Derick Dillard, 26, welcomed son Israel David on April 6.
