Olly Murs: X Factor is one of best shows around

OHMYGOSSIP — Olly Murs insists ‘The X Factor’ is still “one of the best” shows around, so he would “hate” to see the programme axed.
The ‘Voice’ coach – who was a runner-up on the sixth series of ‘The X Factor’ in 2009 – feels a special connection to the programme after shooting to fame on the show, and he doesn’t want it to finish because fewer wannabes will be given an opportunity to make it into the big time.
He said: “I’d hate to see a show like ‘The X Factor’ not be on TV anymore, because it’s still one of the best.
“It’s about finding talent and giving [people] a chance to have a career in music and that’s still got to be the goal of what we’re all trying to achieve.
“I came from that show and I’d hate to see that be taken away – because that’s a dream taken away from another young lad, young girl or group out there that won’t be given that opportunity.”
Olly also admitted he and ‘X Factor’ boss Simon Cowell have a strong mutual respect for one another, and he appreciates what the music mogul has done for his career.
He added to the BBC: “We had a good chat over the summer. He’s a great guy and there was a potential maybe that I was going to do ‘X Factor’ this year, but it [didn’t] happen and we’re good friends.
“We’ve got nothing but respect for each other. And I’ve got nothing but respect for what he’s given me in my career.”
Olly’s comments come shortly after he admitted that while he was keen to be an ‘X Factor’ judge, he “always wanted” to coach on ‘The Voice’.
He said: “I made no secret about wanting to do it [‘The X Factor’] again.
“I had loads of offers of different things. But ‘The Voice’ was always the one that I wanted. I love the show very much. It’s fantastic and it’s great to be here.”

BTS’s management issue apology for band’s controversial clothes

OHMYGOSSIP — BTS’s management have issued an apology after the band was slammed for wearing controversial clothing.
The K-pop group came under fire last week when photographs surfaced online of 23-year-old Jimin dressed in a sweatshirt which appeared to celebrate the atomic bombings of Japan and RM, 24, wearing a Nazi Inspired hat.
Now, the band’s management, Big Hit Entertainment have released a statement apologising for any offence caused and stating that neither they nor the band condone any type of political extremism.
In a lengthy Facebook post, Big Hit Entertainment wrote: “In all activities involving BTS and any other artists associated with our company, Big Hit does not support any organizations or groups oriented towards political extremism and totalitarian beliefs including Nazism.
“[We’re] against all such entities and activities, had no intention of causing distress or pain to anyone affected by historical events and incidents by being inadvertently associated with such organizations or groups, and we will continue to adhere to these principles.”
“In all activities involving BTS and any other artists associated with our company, Big Hit does not condone any activities of war or the use of atomic weapons, is adamantly against them, had no intention of causing distress or pain to anyone affected by the dropping of atomic weapons, and we will continue to adhere to these principles.(sic)”
The clothing choices were criticised earlier this week by Jewish human rights organisation The Simon Wiesenthal Center who claimed the group were “mocking the past.”
Rabbi Abraham Cooper said in a statement posted on their website: “Wearing a T-shirt in Japan mocking the victims of the A-bomb, is just the latest incident of this band mocking the past.”

Carey Hart sends out ‘looter’ warning

OHMYGOSSIP — Pink’s husband Carey Hart has warned “looters to think twice before heading to Malibu” following the California wildfire devastation.
The 43-year-old motocross rider – who has children Willow, seven, and 23-month-old Jameson with the ‘So What’ pop star – took to Instagram to share a picture of an armed group of men standing behind a sign that reads “Looters will be shot on site”.
It is unclear if Carey was one of the men in the picture, but he captioned the post: “It’s unfortunate that some people take advantage of others in a crisis.
“While the Malibu fires have been burning, some locals have been fighting off and defending their property against the fires.
“There have been sightings of looters breaking in to homes. Well, if you are a looter, think twice if you are heading back into Malibu. #DefendYourLand #2ndamendment” (sic)
Carey’s post came after Liam Hemsworth evacuated the home he shares with fiancée Miley Cyrus over the weekend as the Woolsey fire tore through the Malibu and Calabasas area, and on Tuesday (13.11.18), he returned to the site where his house once stood, and shared a picture of the rubble, including concrete letters that spelled out “love”.
Posting the snap on Twitter, Liam wrote: “It’s been a heartbreaking few days. This is what’s left of my house. Love. Many people in Malibu and surrounding areas in California have lost their homes also and my heart goes out to everyone who was affected by these fires.
“To help: http://themalibufoundation.org & @happyhippiefdn (sic)”
Robin Thicke and April Love Geary’s house also burned down over the weekend, shortly after they were evacuated from the property.
Meanwhile, stars including Gerard Butler, Cher, Liam Payne, Iggy Azalea, and Kim Kardashian West have all had to evacuate their homes.

Zoe Kravitz slams Lily Allen

OHMYGOSSIP — Zoe Kravitz claims Lily Allen “attacked” her with a kiss.
The ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ insists she never “wanted” to lock lips with the 33-year-old pop star, who revealed details of their 2014 smooch – which happened while the ‘Smile’ singer was still married to Sam Cooper – in her recent autobiography.
Asked if Lily, 33, had called to warn her that she was going to mention the kiss in ‘My Thoughts Exactly’, Zoe told a caller on ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’: “Who’s Lily Allen?”
Her co-star Eddie Redmayne then interjected to say he “loves” Lily, calling her the “voice of a generation”, only for Zoe to reply: “No, you don’t [love her].”
She then continued: “If by kissing she means attacking, then yes, she kissed me. She attacked me. [It was portrayed in the book] like I wanted it.”
And the ‘Big Little Lies’ actress – who is engaged to Karl Glusman – threw further shade at Lily when she was asked if she’d read the ‘Not Fair’ hitmaker’s memoir.
She quipped: “I don’t think anybody read the book.”
Lily – who has daughters Ethel, six, and Marnie, five, with her now ex-husband Sam – wrote in her book about how she and Zoe “ended up kissing” at a party after a show on her US tour and claimed the 29-year-old star had also “got down” with A$AP Rocky.
She recalled: “For my New York shows, Zoe Kravitz and her band Lolawolf supported me, so I got to know Zoe a bit. We became friends.
“Later in the tour, when we were in Washington, the girls and their nanny, Jess, came out to visit me for a few days, but I had to go back to New York for a day or so for work.
“Zoe and I went out partying and ended up kissing. I heard that later that same night she’d got down with A$AP Rocky. Go girl, I thought.”

Rob Kardashian sold half of Arthur George to his mother

OHMYGOSSIP — Rob Kardashian has sold half his Arthur George sock line to his mother Kris Jenner.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star previously asked to reduce his $20,000 per month child support payments to former partner Blac Chyna for their two-year-old daughter Dream, as he “can no longer afford these orders”, and now new court documents have claimed he was forced to sell half of his sock brand to his mother in order to make ends meet.
According to the documents, which were obtained by The Blast, Rob blames 30-year-old Chyna – whose real name is Angela White – for pushing him to “eliminate” his presence on social media after she had a restraining order put on him when he went on a tirade against her last year, as he claims it has cost him a large part of Arthur George’s success.
He said in the papers: “When the business was struggling, my mother infused it with capital to keep it afloat and from her infusion gained a 50% share in the company.
“Previously, the line’s success was in large part due to my regular posting and general promotion on social media. Angela’s request for a restraining order against me includes various prohibitions on what I could post online. In order to avoid any potential future issues, I nearly eliminated my social media presence.”
Rob, 31, claims the ordeal has been so damaging he’s been forced to drop out of endorsement deals and earnings that stem from posting on social media, and now lives with Kris as he can no longer support himself on his current income.
He continued: “My income now is insufficient to pay for my expenses. As of Jan. 17, 2018, I am short nearly $300,000 which my accountant projects I will need to pay for my 2107 tax liabilities. I no longer own a home. I now live in my mother’s home.”
And according to the documents, Chyna herself has over $1.4 million in cash and checking accounts, as well as $1 million in stocks, bonds and other assets, which Rob stated she could easily sell in order to make his own child support payments less expensive.

Kelly Clarkson’s vampiric lifestyle

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelly Clarkson has turned into “a vampire” since becoming a mother.
The 36-year-old singer is mother to four-year-old daughter River and two-year-old son Remington – whom she has with husband Brandon Blackstock – and has said that since having her own kids, she has realised she is “not a morning person”, and instead would much prefer to be active at night like the mythical bloodsucking creatures.
Kelly – who is also stepmom to Brandon’s daughter Savannah, 17, and son Seth, 13, from a previous marriage – said: “I’m not a morning person. I love the night. I am a vampire.”
And when she does get time alone by herself, the ‘Piece By Piece’ hitmaker loves to take part in quilting – which is the process of sewing two or more layers of fabric together to make a thicker padded material.
When asked by People magazine what her favourite hobby is, she said: “I love putting on vinyl and having wine and quilting. It’s fun. I’m not great at it, but I like it.”
It’s not just waking up early that ‘The Voice’ judge hates, as she recently revealed she loathes exercise, and revealed she much prefers spending her spare time enjoying a glass or two of red wine.
She tweeted: “This just in…. I still hate working out. I’m sweaty, red, and not any thinner [laughing emoji] people say it’s good for your heart…. but people also say red wine is good for your heart. I mean, I’m just stating facts here people. Who am I to ignore science?! #cardioversuswine (sic)”
Kelly’s weight has been a source of interest for years, but the ‘Because of You’ singer is more worried about how her fans react to the negative comments than how it could damage her own self-esteem.
She shared: “I think what hurts my feelings for people is that I’ll have a meet and greet after the show and a girl who’s like bigger than me will be in the meet and greet and be like, ‘Wow, if they think you’re big I must be so fat to them.’
“And it’s like, ‘You’re just who you are.’ We are who we are – whatever size. And it doesn’t mean that we’re gonna be that forever.”

Gabrielle Union: My baby smells heavenly

OHMYGOSSIP — Gabrielle Union’s daughter smells like “heaven”.
The 46-year-old actress and her husband Dwayne Wade revealed they had undergone a secret surrogacy as they announced the arrival of their “miracle baby” daughter on November 7, and the new mother has said she’s on cloud nine as she starts life as a mother of one.
Taking to Instagram to post a picture of herself placing a kiss on her daughter’s head, Gabrielle wrote: “this baby smell though?! Heaven (sic)”
The cute post comes after the ‘Being Mary Jane’ star had previously posted on her Instagram Story – which stays live on the site for 24 hours – that she hasn’t “showered or slept” in days since welcoming her baby girl.
She wrote: “So perhaps I haven’t showered or brushed my teeth or slept.
“But I’m in heaven. I stink but I’m happy. (sic)”
Gabrielle revealed the news of her tot’s birth on Twitter last week in a note that read: “A LOVELY DAY. We are sleepless and delirious but so excited to share that our little miracle baby arrived last night via surrogate and 11/7 will forever be etched in our hearts as the most loveliest of all the lovely days. Welcome to the party sweet girl! (sic)”
Basketball star Dwayne – who already has Zaire, 16, Zion, 11, and Xavier, four, from previous relationships – posted the same message in a tweet on his own account, alongside the same pictures.
The couple’s baby joy came after Gabrielle revealed she suffers from adenomyosis – a form of endometriosis which only occurs in the uterus – which has left her infertile and caused her to experience several miscarriages.
She said: “Towards the end of my fertility journey I finally got some answers. Everyone said ‘You’re a career woman, you’ve prioritised your career, you waited too long and now you’re just too old to have a kid – and that’s on you for wanting a career.’ The reality is I actually have adenomyosis.”
Adenomyosis causes the uterus to become enlarged, and sufferers may also be plagued with heavy and painful periods and chronic pelvic pain.
The only cure for the condition is to undergo a hysterectomy, in which the uterus is removed.

Calvin Harris slams current EDM scene

OHMYGOSSIP — Calvin Harris has slammed the current EDM scene as being full of “sad slow songs”.
The 34-year-old DJ has insisted that he has no plans to return to his Electronic Dance Music (EDM) roots, because he believes the current records in the genre are dreary and nothing like the upbeat music he used to make.
Responding to a fan on Twitter who asked if he would ever go back to the EDM scene, the ‘One Kiss’ hitmaker said: EDM has been sad, slow songs for years now. Doesn’t have anything in common with the music I love to make. 2010-2014 edm was more house influenced to me. Anyway now I’m out the bubble and making big records with amazing singers that sound like house music to me… (sic)”
The ‘Summer’ musician also revealed that he has no plans to release a full-length house music album anytime soon, and isn’t planning to return to the live-band format of his early career.
When one fan asked if he’s would perform live music again, and if he was influenced by LCD Soundsystem, he said: “No way I’m 34 now
“Yes basically was trying to be like LCD and Mylo ended up worse than both but I improved with time (sic)”
And asked if there’s a full-length album on the way, he said: “I’d say it’s unlikely, I have a very short attention span nowadays.”
Meanwhile, the “Blame” hitmaker has been slowing things down in order to focus on his safety, after he was involved in a crash earlier this year.
The DJ and his girlfriend Aarika Wolf were injured after he accidentally hit another car in Beverly Hills on Sunday, May 6.
He tweeted after the incident: “I promised myself I’d never do anything worthy of appearing in TMZ ever again but sadly this was out of my control thankfully everyone is ok.”

Danielle Lloyd: Gender selection doesn’t make me ungrateful

OHMYGOSSIP — Danielle Lloyd insists she isn’t being “ungrateful” by undergoing gender selection to increase the changes of having a daughter.
The 34-year-old model – who has sons Archie, eight, Harry, seven, and George, five, with ex-husband Jamie O’Hara and 13-month-old Ronnie, with fiancé Michael O’Neill – is planning to spend a month in Dubai next summer for medical treatment to ensure she will have a baby girl, and although she’s received a lot of backlash for her decision, she has defended the plan by claiming she can live her life however she wants.
She said: “For me, I don’t see the ethical reasons [against it]. I’ve got four boys, so the whole reason for me to do it is for family balance, rather in some countries they do it because a boy is seen as more valuable.
“I can understand why people get upset and I get women messaging me saying, ‘I can’t even have one child, you’re so ungrateful.’
“I’m not ungrateful, I love my boys; they want a girl as much as me. They’ll say, ‘Is our sister in your belly yet?’
“It’s my life and you only get one. Everyone is entitled to live theirs how they want to, and if that is me getting gender selection because I want a little girl I don’t think anyone should begrudge me [of that].”
The procedure isn’t guaranteed to give Danielle the daughter she’s hoping for, but insists she won’t love her fifth tot any less if it does end up being another boy.
She added: “The embryo might not implant so there is that risk there, but I have conceived naturally before, so it should hopefully work. And I think there are women who can’t carry a certain sex. It might be the case that I can’t carry a girl.
“If I can’t conceive with a little girl and it doesn’t happen then I truly believe what God wanted for me and that’s the way it’s meant to be. So I will live with it.”
Not all the comments the brunette beauty gets are negative, and she says she’d like for more people to be supportive of her choice, because women shouldn’t feel “nervous” to do things they want.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk as part of Fertility Month, she said: “I’ve had so many women message me saying they’ve either had it done or they want to have it done. There is a lot of positivity out there; it’s not all one-sided so it’s been nice to speak to people about it. Women are made to feel they should be nervous about talking about things or what they want.
“I feel like women who are in the public eye should be able to talk about these things and empower others in our society.”

Kerry Katona’s proud of her scars

OHMYGOSSIP — Kerry Katona is proud of her scars.
The 38-year-old singer – who has Molly, 17, and Lilly, 16, with former husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 11, and Max, 10, with ex-husband Mark Croft, and DJ, four, with third husband George Kay – has several scars over her body from various surgeries, including a £15,000 boob job fix and several rounds of liposuction.
But the star doesn’t let her body insecurities get her down, as she’s proud to wear her scars, and says anyone she meets in the future will “have to accept” her body as it is.
She said: “Your body gets scarred, it gets wounded.
“I’m looking at my scars as a journey, as an era of my life. Each one tells a story.
“Anyone I fall in love with in the future will have to accept my scars because they are part of me.”
The former Atomic Kitten member underwent her first surgery in 2004 when she had breast implants in order to “fill out” her chest, after discovering that her breasts had dropped due to excess weight loss following her divorce from Brian McFadden that same year.
After the birth of Heidi and Max, Kerry’s breasts dropped again but her implants stayed in place creating a “double bubble” effect, and so in 2008 she then went under the knife again to have her boobs lifted.
In 2010, she underwent a tummy tuck, and in 2016, she had liposuction to take four and half litres of fat out of her body.
Several of her scars also come from having to rectify tattoo mistakes, many of which are in reference to her former spouses.
But despite her scars, Kerry says she “feels good mentally”, and thinks that’s all that matters.
Speaking to Fabulous Digital, she said: “You do battle with your own head and that is the biggest challenge for anybody who wants to lose weight and get into shape. I have really got myself into shape in the last two years.
“I’ve never been one to rush into getting my figure back after having a baby. It’s really important to enjoy your time with your newborn and not worry about hitting the gym.
“I hate the word diet and I think it’s all a mindset. As long as I feel good mentally, I feel good everywhere else.
“I could be a size 14 and still be happy. It’s what’s going on in your head that matters and having a good figure is just a bonus and not the be all and end all.”

Jessie J told she can’t have kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessie J was told four years ago that she can’t have children.
The 30-year-old singer revealed to fans at her show at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday (14.11.18) that she is infertile and cannot have children of her own, but said she remains determined to be a mother some day.
Before performing her track ‘Four Letter Word’, Jessie told the crowd: “So four years ago, I was told that I couldn’t have children, and it’s OK, I’m going to have children, trust me. When the doctor told me, my reaction was, ‘Oh hell no!’
“And I don’t tell you guys for sympathy, I’m one of millions of women, and of men, that have gone through this and will go through this, and it can’t become something that defines us. But, I wanted to write this song for myself in my moment of pain and of sadness. But, also to give myself joy and give other people something that they can listen to in that moment when it gets really hard.”
Jessie then told the audience – which included her boyfriend Channing Tatum – that they’re “not alone” in their pain, before performing the powerful track, which was featured on her May 2018 album ‘R.O.S.E’.
She added: “So, if you’ve ever experienced anything with this or have seen somebody else go through it, or have lost a child, then please know you are not alone in your pain.”
After the show, 38-year-old Channing – who already has five-year-old daughter Everly with ex-wife Jenna Dewan – took to social media to heap praise on Jessie’s “special” show.
Alongside a picture of the stage taken from his seat at the iconic venue, he wrote: “This woman just poured her heart out on stage at the Royal Albert Hall. Whoever was there got to witness something special. Wow. (sic)”

Sandra Bullock donates $400k to Red Cross for wildfire relief

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandra Bullock has donated $400,000 to the American Red Cross to help fund the relief efforts in the wake of the Californian wildfires.
The 54-year-old actress recently handed $100,000 to the Humane Society of Ventura County (HSVC) in order to help them rescue and care for the hundreds of pets that have been displaced as a result of the fires that continue to tear through the state, and on Wednesday (14.11.18), it was also announced that she had donated the whopping sum of $400,000 to the Red Cross.
Sandra gave a statement to the organisation – which provides disaster relief – in which she emphasised the need to help amid the devastation, and also referenced the recent shooting which claimed 12 lives at a bar in California just days before the fires caused mass evacuations.
She said in the statement: “The untold destruction from these fires is heartbreaking, especially following the tragedy at Borderline in Thousand Oaks. I’m glad to be able to help. We’re all family in this, whether it be human, furry or feathered.”
The ‘Ocean’s 8’ star’s generous donation follows the one given to the HSVC, which will help the charity care for animals including horses, bulls, donkeys, pigs, chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats, all of whom have been forced to flee from the raging fire.
In a statement posted to HSVC’s Facebook page, they said: “The Humane Society of Ventura County was deeply humbled today by a $100,000 donation from Sandra Bullock and family. Our efforts for rescuing and caring for evacuated animals from the Hill and Woolsey fires had caught her attention and her team reached out to the shelter to show their support.
“Sandra Bullock and her family have reached out to other nonprofit organisations both during this incident and in the past. However, this time she wanted to contribute to those on the frontline rescuing animals in peril and hope others will choose to do the same.”

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton to have child via surrogate?

OHMYGOSSIP — Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are reportedly looking to have a child together via a surrogate mother.
The 49-year-old singer already has three children of her own – Kingston, 12, Zuma, 10, and Apollo, four, all with former husband Gavin Rossdale – but she is reportedly determined to have a fourth child with her partner and country singer Blake, which they are said to be planning to have via surrogate.
A source said: “[They are] determined to have a child together. They are in the final stages of choosing the woman who will carry their baby. It’s extremely important to Gwen that she give Blake a biological child, and Blake is so excited. He wants his own child too.”
The couple are known for heaping the praise on one another, and their loved-up ways are said to have convinced Gwen that having a child with Blake is the right decision.
The insider added to Us Weekly magazine: “Gwen just is so in awe of the love Blake has, not only for her but for the boys.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Rich Girl’ hitmaker recently credited Blake, 42, for “inspiring” her to “change”, and praised him for being an “amazing all-round human”.
She said: “He’s my homeboy. He’s my homey. He’s just really an amazing all-around human so I feel so grateful for that. I celebrate him in the show! He’s inspired me so much. He’s changed my life.”
Gwen previously confessed that she has been “unlucky in love” in the past but is lucky to now have Blake.
She said: “When I was a little girl, I had this plan that I was going to be a mom and have a bunch of kids and be a wife and have that perfect family. That’s something I dreamed of for a long time. But my own love life experience wasn’t what I thought it would be. I feel I had so much love to give inside me, but I was unlucky in love, which has been a blessing, because I’ve been able to write about that and share that and have this friendly, blessed musical career. But there was a point in my life where I felt like I was losing everything. I mean, there’s unlucky in love, but then there’s unlucky in love and I lost my ability to have any confidence – not just about songwriting, but about everything. My hopes and my dreams. I was actually losing myself.”

Billie Lourd: American Horror Story saved my life

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Lourd says ‘American Horror Story’ helped “save her life” when she was dealing with the loss of her mother Carrie Fisher.
The 26-year-old actress landed the part of Winter Anderson in the 2017 season of the anthology horror show – which was subtitled ‘Cult’ – just a few months after the tragic death of her mother and ‘Star Wars’ icon Carrie in December 2016, and has now praised executive producer Ryan Murphy for helping to pull her out of a dark place.
Billie – who is currently on screens as Mallory in the new ‘Apocalypse’ season – said: “When Ryan offered me ‘Cult’, it was just a few months after my mom passed, and it honestly helped me process all of my emotions through these characters.
“Being able to cry for Winter helped me cry for myself. And it’s been really healing and cathartic in an amazing way, and getting to be around all the incredible people on set, they’ve become like a family to me, and I cannot thank Ryan enough. Honestly, it kind of saved my life.”
The season finale of ‘Apocalypse’ airs in FX on Wednesday (14.11.18), and Billie – who also lost her grandmother Debbie Reynolds just one day after Carrie’s passing – says the predominantly female cast coming together to defeat the Antichrist is a “great message” to send to young women.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she said: “It means so much more because of the #MeToo movement, [the unity of women around the world has made it] even more powerful than it would have been. Getting to watch all of us be more powerful than even the Antichrist, it was so inspirational, I think, and such a great message for young girls and women out there.”
‘American Horror Story: Apocalypse’ also stars Sarah Paulson as Wilhelmina, Cordelia, and Billie Dean, Emma Roberts as Madison, Kathy Bates as Miriam, Taissa Farmiga as Zoe and Violet, Cody Fern as Michael, and Evan Peters as Tate.

Rachel Weisz: My daughter looks just like her dad

OHMYGOSSIP — Rachel Weisz says her daughter looks “very like” her father Daniel Craig.
The 48-year-old actress and the James Bond star welcomed a baby girl in September this year, and although they couple are remaining largely private about the tot, Rachel has admitted she bears a striking resemblance to Daniel.
She said: “She does look very like him. She really does.”
Although the ‘Constantine’ actress – who already has 12-year-old son Henry with her former partner Darren Aronofsky – splits her time between America and her native UK, she says she isn’t worried about whether her child will be American or British, because she’s just focusing on raising her as “human”.
When asked by talk show host Stephen Colbert on his eponymously titled show if she would be raising her child to be American or British, she said: “Just human. I’m really into humans, just from planet earth.”
Rachel and Daniel – who has 25-year-old Ella from his first marriage to Fiona Loudon – waited until their daughter was born to find out the sex of their child, and previously admitted they had to be “unisex” clothes during Rachel’s pregnancy.
The ‘Favourite’ actress said: “We’re having to buy all the gear again, although friends have lent us some great unisex baby-gros – we don’t know what the sex is.”
And Rachel admitted her second pregnancy felt different to her first.
Asked if it felt different, the ‘Disobedience’ star said: “Yeah, I suppose it does. You know, your first baby is just so unknown isn’t it? You just don’t know what it’s going to feel like being in labor or what it will be like. So, of course, it’s different, but special. In a different way.”
The couple – who married in 2011 – previously said they are delighted to be parents again.
Rachel said: “We’re just very excited. Very, very excited. Because it is a miracle. It’s pretty extraordinary, the stuff that happens to your body, and then watching that child grow.”
