Nearly a year after saying “I do,” Chris and Katherine Schwarzen-egger Pratt are expanding their family. Multiple sources confirm the couple are expecting their first child together in the fall. “After they got married, they couldn’t wait to grow their family. Katherine was hoping it would happen quickly,” says an insider. “They are thrilled!” The pair—who fell in love two years ago after they were introduced by her mom, Maria Shriver—are excited to give Jack, Chris’s 7-year-old son with his ex-wife Anna Faris, a sibling. “Katherine loves being an extra mom to Jack,” says the insider. “She always says he is the sweetest, most caring boy. Jack will be a great big brother.” Indeed, Jack—who often joined the couple on movie, ice-cream and dinner dates throughout their courtship—has been…

When Dylan Dreyer gave birth to her baby boy Oliver back in January, she never envisioned she’d be spending the final month of her maternity leave quarantining in her New York City apartment. “It’s crazy,” says the Today show’s third-hour coanchor. “The year started off with President Donald Trump’s impeachment, and then we went right into a pandemic. We’re going to look back and think, ‘Wow, I can’t believe we all got through it.’” The past few months have been tough ones for Dreyer, 38, who thought she had coronavirus in late March but later discovered it was actually mastitis, an inflammation of breast tissue. “I woke up one night with a 102° fever, chills, the works,” she says. “I felt absolutely awful. But then I went on antibiotics, and…

Heather Locklear is proud to be celebrating a big milestone: On April 21 the actress, 58, announced she has been sober for one year. To commemorate the occasion, she posted an uplifting quote from Maya Angelou on Instagram that read: “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life goes on, and it will be better tomorrow.” In the comments section Locklear added, “Hugs will come later. 1 year sober today!” Adds a friend: “She is doing great and looks great. What’s most important is today and the next day and the future.” It’s been a long road to recovery for the Dynasty and Melrose Place actress, who was arrested in 2018 for allegedly attacking a police officer and an EMT who responded to a…

Jane Krakowski recently learned she had some tough competition back in 1984 when she landed the role of a teen runaway in the soap opera Search for Tomorrow. “Jennifer Aniston also tried out,” says Krakowski. A decade later Krakowski auditioned for the part of Rachel on Friends. “I may have gotten the job for Jennifer’s first audition, but I think it’s turned out pretty well for her,” she says with a laugh. Things also turned out pretty well for Krakowski, 51. The TV star and Tony-winning theater actress credits her parents, Barbara, a theater teacher, and Ed, a chemical engineer, for her can-do spirit. “Giving your kid confidence they could do something, whether they’re qualified or not, is an amazing gift,” says the New Jersey native. After her breakout role…

They just returned from what appeared to be a picture-perfect family vacation to the Bahamas in April, but behind the scenes Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler had already decided to end their marriage, says an insider. The Very Cavallari reality star, 33, and her former Chicago Bears quarterback husband, 37, took to Instagram on April 26 to announce their plans for divorce. Together for 10 years and married for almost seven, “they had been having problems for a long time,” says the insider. “They hadn’t spent much time together in recent months.” The couple, who briefly split in 2011 a year after they’d begun dating, share sons Camden, 7, and Jaxon, 6, and daughter Saylor, 4. But ultimately they “are a lot different,” says the insider. “She has so…

My older brother Lawrence was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at age 39. For our family, it was a punch in the gut. He didn’t drink, didn’t smoke and lived a clean life. He’s been battling the cancer for three years, and there comes a point where it starts to take a toll on your body. After his diagnosis I got involved with the Colon Cancer Foundation. Every year I host its annual fundraiser, the Blue Hope Bash. I also highlight folks who are surviving colon cancer on the Today show to raise awareness. It’s difficult to do because it’s not the kind of cancer that people talk about. No one wants to talk about their colon or their rectum—and that’s why people are dying. People need to…

When Erin Napier wakes up in the morning, her husband, Ben, always leaves the same two items for her on the nightstand: a cold can of soda and a handwritten love note. “Every day he’s up before me, and he writes me a letter,” says Erin. “It’s a short one, but it’s a letter. And since I don’t do coffee, I drink Coke, he’s got one waiting.” For Ben, going the extra mile for his wife of 11 years and business partner has always felt natural. “Erin is my dream girl,” he says. “Why would I not continue to court her and win her over every day? That’s always my goal.” Before the former church minister, 36, and his graphic-designer wife, 34, shot to success on their hit HGTV series…

Between playing Mario Kart on Nintendo and learning Japanese as he rolls into month two of stay-at-home orders in Los Angeles, Darren Criss is having an existential moment. “I am so overcaffeinated. I was up until 4 a.m. last night thinking and writing and meditating wildly and unnecessarily about life,” he says in a breathless rat-a-tat-tat burst. “I’m wondering about what could have happened, that alternate universe if I hadn’t moved to that city, if I hadn’t dated that person, if I hadn’t gotten that job. I think this is called growing up.” At 33, the Glee alum is reaching his stride, onscreen and off: He’s been married just over a year to longtime love Mia, a TV producer, and he has an Emmy, a SAG and a Golden Globe…

Hilarie Burton chuckles as she’s interrupted by the rowdy pair of ducks currently at home in her living room. “It’s too cold to go outside,” explains the actress, “and whenever they see me, they scream at me.” Ducks, cows and donkeys—they’re part of the fabric of life for Burton and her husband, The Walking Dead actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The couple, who have been together since 2009 and wedded last year, broke the Hollywood mold when they left L.A. behind in favor of an idyllic existence on a farm in New York’s Hudson Valley. “Moving here was letting go,” says Burton, who decamped with Morgan and their then newborn Gus, now 10, in 2010. “I feel more like myself than I ever have.” The radical shift was also an opportunity…

Last Fashion Disaster I wore some Alexander McQueen sneaker-boots to a Boston Celtics game. We sat courtside, so we were on TV a lot. During the game my son Elijah poked me and said, “Your shoes are getting killed on social media, Dad.” Last Time I Was Starstruck I was in my friend DJ D-Nice’s “House Party at Club Quarantine” Instagram Live dance party with Quincy Jones, J.Lo, Oprah. I felt like a little kid who got invited to the coolest party. Last Time I Stayed up Too Late My wife, Jenny [McCarthy], and I get up really early to make breakfast for everyone and homeschool our son Evan. We made a pact to get to sleep by midnight every night. But of course at 1 a.m. the other…

The Scandal alum—and father of two with wife Jane Musky, 66—will host Americares’ COVID Is No Joke comedy benefit on May 1, airing at covidisnojoke.org at 8 p.m. ET. Have you mastered video call technology yet? The first one I did, I was very disoriented, frankly. But I think I am getting the hang of it! Who do you most look forward to working with on the comedy show? The idea that I’ll be threading the needle with Will Ferrell, Jack Black and Elizabeth Banks—it’s such a fun thing. For not being a comedian, that’s really thrilling. What else keeps you busy these days? Routine has become key, because otherwise my hair is never combed and I never wear pants. But I’ve been doing a lot of cooking, and I’m getting…

A Therapy Dog Delivers Self-care Goodies—and a Dose of Comfort—to Health Care Workers BALTIMORE The “dogtor” is in! Loki, a 2-year-old therapy dog, and her owner Caroline Benzel, a medical student, are delivering “hero healing kits” to nurses on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic at the University of Maryland Medical Center. After social-distancing rules halted in-person therapy visits, Benzel and her rottweiler started FaceTiming with nurses instead. During the video chats Benzel noticed the physical discomfort the hospital workers endured while wearing personal protective equipment around the clock. “It can be really rough on the skin,” says Benzel, 30. The kits—which Loki helps drop off at the hospital—contain moisturizer, lip balm and other self-care items. The duo’s efforts have inspired others to do the same for their health…

JoJo, like most Americans right now, is still adjusting to life in quarantine since the coronavirus pandemic hit in March. “I’m trying to find some type of routine,” the singer says over a FaceTime call as she absentmindedly paints her fingernails red. She’s at home in the Hollywood Hills, where she’s social distancing with her mom. The concept of free time at her disposal is new to her, she says: “I’ve always had my schedule pretty much laid out for me since I was a teenager.” For a long time after she rose to fame at age 13 with her No. 1 hit “Leave (Get Out)” in 2004, JoJo rarely felt in control. Publicly she was enjoying pop stardom and all that came with it. Behind the scenes, though, she…
