CLAIRE & HUGH A Fairy-Tale Memory Claire Danes can pinpoint the moment she realized actor Hugh Dancy, 42, was her soul mate. In the early months of their relationship, the couple were in Rhode Island “bicycling by the water and it was sparkly and idyllic,” recalls the pregnant actress, due this summer. “I just had this dumb epiphany, like, I’m really just happy.” That’s been a near constant throughout their nine-year marriage. Adds Danes, 39, “Hugh was just the right partner for me. I got very, very lucky.” JOHN & KELLY An Instant Connection After laying eyes on now-husband John Travolta, Kelly Preston was hit with a case of butterflies. At a screen test for the 1989 thriller The Experts, “I remember this really hot guy coming from across the…

You can’t be a mom and not have a glass of wine,” Morena Baccarin jokes to Us. The 39-year-old star of Gotham — who’s mom to Julius, 4 (with ex Austin Chick, 46), and Frances, 2 (with husband Ben McKenzie, 39) — notes the chaos increases when each of your children is in the toddler phase. “One kid is like, OK, life has changed. All your attention goes to one kid,” she says. “With two, you’re just trying to survive. If you get through the day and no one has died, everything is good.”…

Self-described Anglophile Emily Giffin, 46, carries all things British. “My keychain comes from Buckingham Palace,” says the bestselling author, whose new novel, All We Ever Wanted, is out June 26. “Just like the queen, I do Essie Ballet Slippers on my nails.” The mom of three (with businessman Buddy Blaha) shares more. TAKING A BREATHER “I’m a bit high-strung, especially when a deadline is looming, and I’ve found that the Tata Harper Aromatic Irritability Treatment really calms me.” SWEET NOTES “The most outlandish thing I carry would probably be stationery of my golden retriever Dolly from Calabash Card Co.” SHOPPER ESSENTIAL “I carry a Graphic Image tape measure. It’s sur-prising how much I need it. You know when you’re ordering something and it will say what size it is? It’s…

“It brought up feelings of when I was in such despair and had considered the same demise… often.” On Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain taking their lives “I was withered, curled up in a ball about to die.” On how life and work caused her to lose herself “My grandmother taught me about self-pleasuring because she wanted me to know that that pleasure was from me.” On her first sexual experience at 9 years old “I actually think I went through kind of an addiction, too, with it… And then one day I was like, ‘Enough. You’re having five orgasms a day!’” “The one thing I will say in hindsight, because I did not understand marriage, I didn’t understand divorce. I will say that I probably should’ve fell back.” On…

“any doctors here? am I allowed to get a wax during my epidural? it’s genius and there’s a ton of time to kill anyhow” On her labor plan “I can confirm post-partum life is 90% better when you don’t rip to your butthole.

MOVIES Bryce Dallas Howard was embarking on an adventure 600 million years in the making. Fine, three — but the emotions were just as raw. Pulling up to the oceanside rental in Hawaii where she bunked for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, “I started bawling,” the actress, 37, tells Us. “The first film was such an extraordinary experience, something you don’t think is going to happen again, and then it does.” Those tears were strictly saved for off screen, though. In the sequel, her unapologetic Claire once again teams up with Chris Pratt’s Owen to save the dinos. The mom of Theo, 11, and Beatrice, 6 (with husband Seth Gabel) takes Us on a wild ride. Q: How has Claire changed since we last saw her? She realizes she was on…

Weeks after her wedding, Duchess Meghan, 36, still can’t shake her family drama. During a June 18 appearance on Good Morning Britain, Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle Sr., opened up about missing his daughter’s May 19 nuptials to Prince Harry, 33, due to heart surgery. “They were disappointed,” the retired TV lighting director, 73, recalled, before adding his daughter “cried” when he said he couldn’t make it. Markle also admitted “it was a serious mistake” to stage paparazzi photos of himself prior to the event. DRAMA UNFOLDS The apology is hardly music to Meghan’s ears — since her dad blindsided her with the sit-down. “The proper thing to do would have been to let Meghan and Kensington Palace know he was giving an interview,” a palace source tells Us. “He already…

Khloé Kardashian, 34, and Tristan Thompson have finally returned to L.A. two months after welcoming their daughter, True, in Cleveland. The Kardashian-Jenner clan shared multiple Snapchats of her June 17 welcome-back party, and a source tells Us that’s hardly the whole picture. “They’re so happy to have her home,” the pal says. They’re more cautious, however, of her basketball player beau, 27 — who infamously cheated on her while she was pregnant. Still, adds the source, “they’ll support Khloé in whatever she chooses.”…

Troubling times for Heather Locklear. After a family member called 911 on June 17 claiming Locklear was “acting erratically and threatening to hurt herself,” says a source, the Melrose Place alum, 56, was hospitalized in Thousand Oaks, California. “The patient required transport to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment,” a spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office tells Us. The news comes nearly four months after her domestic violence arrest.…

Sophia Bush felt pressure to wed her One Tree Hill costar Chad Michael Murray. So said the actress during a June 13 interview with Andy Cohen. “Everybody’s been 22 and stupid, you know?” the actress, 35, explained of their 2005 union, which ended in separation after five months. “It was not a thing I actually really wanted to do, but you know, it’s cool.” CLAP BACK Murray’s team was quick to slam her comments. “Chad conducts himself in a completely professional manner and would never marry for any reason but love,” his rep told Us in a statement. “He has completely moved on and doesn’t feel the need to engage in this type of behavior.”…

ELISABETH MOSS A lifelong member, the Handmaid’s Tale star has credited the church with granting stability without “changing who you are.” TOM CRUISE The Oscar-nominated actor says he owes Scientology for his success: “I wouldn’t be where I am.

Life has been twice as nice for Meghan King Edmonds since welcoming twin sons Hart and Hayes June 5. “I tried to prepare myself as best as I could,” the Real Housewives of Orange County alum tells Us. With the help of her loving husband, Jim Edmonds, 48, things have been a walk in the park. “He’s just so hands-on,” she gushes of the retired baseball pro. “He wakes up every morning with all of our babies, and he just does it on his own.” A bonus: their daughter, Aspen, 19 months, has been offering an extra hand. “She loves helping them,” the 33-year-old adds. “She gets the bottle and tries to feed them. And we let her!” And though life with three children may seem chaotic, it’s falling into…

Ever since she announced her divorce from husband Justin Theroux, 46, in February, actress Jennifer Aniston, 49, has been plagued by rumors that she and Pitt — the couple split in 2005 after five years of marriage — are giving their romance another shot. Even crazier, multiple tabloid reports are promoting every fan’s dream by claiming they’re expecting a baby together. But a rep for the Friends alum tells Us that couldn’t be further from the truth: “All of those stories about Brad and Jen are completely fabricated.” Case closed!…

His son isn’t yet 2 months old, but John Legend is already making plans to play baseball with little Miles Theodore. The singer’s only concern? His own potentially subpar fielding skills. As Legend — who welcomed Miles, his second child with wife Chrissy Teigen, on May 16 — joked to Us June 11 before performing at the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Blue Diamond Gala, “Hopefully, I won’t let him down.” It’s hard to believe Legend, 39, or Teigen, 32, could ever be a letdown. The pair — who also share daughter Luna, 2 — are among the most beloved couples in Hollywood. And Teigen, who’s known for her social media wit, isn’t disappointing anyone with the motherhood comments. As she wrote to Miles on Instagram June 7, which was his…
