Thomas’ Girl Gang Triple threat! Thomas Rhett’s wife, Lauren Akins, is pregnant with their third daughter, and the country crooner tells Us that their little girls, Willa Gray, 3, and Ada James, 2, are just as “excited” as their parents to welcome their future sibling. In the meantime, Rhett and his childhood sweetheart, both 29, are “making sure there aren’t going to be any hurt feelings when Ada isn’t the baby anymore.” Rhett sings the praises of his all-female fam to Us. Q: How are you preparing for baby No. 3? We’re not doing a whole lot different right now. We’re just trying to survive. Q: Did the gender reveal shock you? I thought for sure it was a boy. [So did] 90 percent of our family. When I saw…

Jenelle Evans is calling it quits on her tumultuous two-year marriage to David Eason. “Nobody gets into a marriage expecting it to end, but I know that’s what is best for me, and my kids,” the Teen Mom 2 alum, 27, said on Oct. 31. “Today I’ve filed papers to start the process… Me and the kids are doing great.” WHAT WENT WRONG? The split has been “a long time coming,” a source tells Us, especially after Eason, 31, shot and killed the family dog for snapping at the couple’s daughter, Ensley, 2, in May. (That event caused Evans to lose her job on the MTV show and, temporarily, custody of her other kids, Kaiser, 5, with ex Nathan Griffith, and Jace, 10, with ex Andrew Lewis.) Evans told Us…

1. I’m not much of a cook. I’m more like a prep cook. I like to wash and chop and measure for the cook and clean as they go. I’m better at the eating part of meals. 2. My favorite book of all time is Lolita. 3. I can salsa dance on stilts. 4. My mother is the most influential person in my life. Her name is Mary, but her friends call her Pat, and my [late] dad called her Jess. 5. I’ve had two dogs, both pugs — Rose Kennedy and Mac. I loved Mac the best. 6. I’m excellent at sewing. I used to sew with my mom. She’d sew outfits for me and I’d sew little versions for my dolls. 7. The best splurge I ever made…

Sunny Hostin doesn’t mix business with pleasure. The View cohost has two phones, one of which has a case with a doodle of herself by artist Brooke Hagel on it. “Joy Behar and I [kept] picking up each other’s phones,” says the host of ID’s Truth About Murder With Sunny Hostin (Tuesdays, 10 P.M.). “Now I know which one belongs to me.” Hostin, 51, reveals the rest for Us.

In the span of just a year, Prince Harry became a duke, a husband and a father. So much change in so little time might over-whelm a mere mortal, but for Prince Harry, the flood of excitement and joy has done nothing but energize him. “A lot of responsibility comes with having a child,” a royal insider tells Us, “and Harry’s really matured since having Archie.” As the littlest royal turns 6 months old, Harry’s a contented family man and public figure. “He still enjoys having a few beers with friends, but his party days are well and truly behind him,” adds the insider. “Harry’s always been a sensitive soul, but now he’s even more in touch with his emotions.” That’s not to say every moment is pure delight, as…

It’s a sad day in movieville when a Yuletide-themed romantic comedy starring two of our favorites yields so little joy. In London, a cynical, perpetually lovelorn gal (Emilia Clarke) falls for a guy (Henry Golding) who comes into the Christmas shop where she works. Their meetcute involves bird poop. He soon teaches her how to open her heart to new experiences — which sounds sweet. But consider that the plot also crams in the plight of homelessness, failed singing ambitions, a closeted lesbian sister, cardiology issues and immigrant shame in the age of Brexit. And that’s not including the eye roll of a twist or the misuse of George Michael songs! None of it works. That’s both a shame and a surprise, as writer and actress Emma Thompson and director…

Jim Edmonds made a bad call: Turns out he doesn’t want to end his marriage to Meghan King Edmonds. After his wife accused him of having an affair with their kids’ nanny (which he denies), the baseball pro, 49, filed for divorce. Just days later, Jim exclusively told Us in a statement that he wants to put this unfortunate episode behind them. “It saddens me tremendously that my wife is hurt… I realize that something that occurred in a split second spiraled out of control with no way to stop it,” he says. “I have way too much love for my wife and kids [Aspen, 2, and twins Hayes and Hart, 16 months] for this to happen, and it’s time for us to get back to the private life we…

Kaitlynn Carter’s whirlwind romance with Miley Cyrus was more than just a summer fling. Before they got together in August — following Carter’s split from Brody Jenner and Cyrus’ from Liam Hemsworth — “it had never crossed my mind that I was even capable of loving a woman the way I loved her,” the Hills: New Beginnings star, 31, wrote in an essay for Elle. While the couple called it quits in September, Carter’s thankful for their time together. “I’ll remain eternally grateful to my most recent relationship for opening my eyes to this unexplored part of myself,” she notes. NEW LOVER Meanwhile, Cyrus, 26, has moved on with Cody Simpson. “We have a ball,” the Aussie singer, 22, tells Us. As for whether she’s The One? “It’s too early…

Jennifer Aniston could write the book on breaking up gracefully. A source tells Us that she and ex Justin Theroux, from whom she split in 2017 after two years of marriage, “have stayed friends and leaned on each other when necessary.” Because the actress, 50, is busy promoting her new Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show — and posting content to her nearly 20 million new Instagram followers! — it’s usually the actor, 48, who reaches out, and they typically text. “Justin makes it a priority to stay in touch,” says the source. As for her first hubby, Brad Pitt? “There are no romantic feelings between Jen and Brad at this point,” the source notes about the exes, who were married from 2000 to 2005 — but Brad did famously…

When Gwen Stefani was asked last year why she and boyfriend Blake Shelton — whom she’s been dating since 2015 — had yet to walk down the aisle, she said they simply weren’t in a rush to tie the knot. “When you go through hard times and find somebody who’s your best friend, that you know you can depend on and trust… I think we’re just trying to be in the moment as best we can,” she explained. “There’s zero pressure,” she added about getting hitched to the man she calls her “favorite human.” AT AN IMPASSE “Hard times” was an understatement. Shelton had gone through a brutal split from fellow country crooner Miranda Lambert, and Stefani had endured her own bitter divorce from rocker Gavin Rossdale, the father of…

William and Harry have always been polar opposites. “But even with different personalities, they were inseparable,” says the insider. “William’s the sensible older brother, and Harry’s carefree.” Lately, though, their differences are causing a rift — one that may be beyond repair. “There’s always been a part of Harry that felt like he was living in his brother’s shadow,” adds the source. “He doesn’t envy the responsibility that comes with being the future king of England, but William’s the ‘golden boy’ and Harry feels like he has a lot to live up to.”…

Heeeeeere’s the sequel to The Shining! Stephen King’s bestselling follow-up novel was intriguing on paper, but its adaptation flails on the big screen. Ewan McGregor is unconvincing as a grown-up Danny, a grim alcoholic still traumatized by the events of his childhood. He reluctantly teams up with a teen (Kyliegh Curran) who shares his extrasensory “shine” quirk to battle a child-murdering, immortality-seeking cult (led by Rebecca Ferguson). The story is even more ghastly than it sounds, and the 151-minute run time does it no favors. Only the callbacks to the original kill. MR…
