Celebrity Update: Who’s Expecting
According to recent reports, Elizabeth Hasselbeck of The View is now expecting her third child with husband Tim Hasselbeck. She made the announcement on her show and said she was a bit shocked at her new pregnancy.
Apparently she had spent a lot of time covering the recent Presidential race and thought she was just worn out from all the work. She was quoted as saying “I’m pregnant again! I’m due in August… We were thoroughly happy with the surprise of it. I didn’t even know for two months. I was walking around – I thought I had – I kept saying, ‘Electionitis, electionitis.” She added, “I was tired, I was nauseous, I thought I was worn out from the whole procedure. No. I was knocked up and didn’t realize it.”
The couple’s first child, Grace Elizabeth was born on April 6, 2005 and weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces. Their son, Taylor Thomas was born on November 9, 2007 and weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces. Hasselbeck and her husband were college sweethearts. She became a co-host of The View in November 2003. The show got big ratings thanks to some heated discussions she had with former co-host Rosie O’Donnell.
A personal quote from Hasselbeck found on imdb.com states “Pregnancy and motherhood are the most beautiful and significantly life- altering events that I have ever experienced.” I think that is a beautiful quote and probably sums it up for many women. Congratulations to the couple on this pregnancy, and we certainly wish them all the best.
Another expectant celeb is Chad Lowe. His girlfriend of two years, Kim Painter is expecting their first child. The baby, Lowe’s first is due this summer. He is the brother of actor Rob Lowe; Chad Lowe is probably best know as the ex-husband of Oscar winning, actress Hilary Swank. They finalized their divorce in 2007.
A spokesperson for the couple was quoted as saying “The couple is overjoyed and could not be happier.” Lowe has been a fixture on TV for years appearing in shows such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Without a Trace and 24. In 1989 he won an Emmy for playing the character, Jesse McKenna, an AIDS victim in the show Life Goes On.
Congratulations to Chad Lowe on what will no doubt be his biggest role. We look forward to the good news of the bay’s arrival in the summer.
