It’s a boy for Renee Oteri Maynard!

The Bachelor alum, 35, and her husband Bracy Maynard welcomed their second child together, son Alex Jay Maynard, on Wednesday, Aug. 10, she confirms to PEOPLE.

“I was four days overdue with this guy!” she tells PEOPLE of her 7 lbs., 9 oz. “squishy, wrinkly love,” whom the couple will call AJ.

“He’s a happy and healthy little dude, looks just like his daddy,” Oteri Maynard tells Entertainment Tonight.

“The name was decided after birth, which is something we have never done before. Let’s just say there was a minivan on the line. Serious terms,” she jokes.

Although they delayed the final decision until meeting their baby boy, Oteri Maynard reveals she had long ago made a deal with herself — and her husband: An unusual name for the mom of three meant a minivan for Maynard.

“We all make promises to ourselves. I made one a very long time ago that I would never drive a minivan (no offense to all the minivan fans). Bracy and I have been on the hunt for a new SUV that can fit all the kids, the dog, the jogger, etc,” she explains. “In my mind, I’m thinking my manly macho hubby is wanting an Escalade or a Tahoe. But no. I’ll never forget the day he turned to me and said, ‘Babe, let’s get a minivan!’ So that was the trade-off.”

She adds, “So anyway, after meeting this little love and seeing his face, he’s definitely an AJ and the vehicle search still continues.”

The new addition joins big brothers Jax Bracy, 18 months, and 11-year-old Ben, Oteri Maynard’s son from a previous relationship.

Oteri Maynard and her husband tied the knot in March 2014, less than a month after their engagement — their romance was anything but whirlwind, as the couple have known each other for most of their lives.

“He was my first crush, my first kiss, my first boyfriend,” Oteri Maynard told PEOPLE following her nuptials. “When I was 12 years old, I wrote in my diary that I was going to marry Bracy Maynard. It’s insane!”

In March, the couple revealed they were expecting another baby with a simple yet beautiful snap Oteri Maynard posted to her Instagram account.

“Bumpin’ Here we go AGAIN!” she wrote to accompany the shot, with the hashtags “#SuperPsyched,” “#BabyNumber3,” “#Sleep,” “#WhoNeedsItAnyway,” “#ItsWayOverrated,” “#InstaPreggs,” “#SummerBaby,” “#Silhouette” and “#SoLucky.”

In honor of her 35th birthday in late July, Oteri Maynard revealed the sex of her third child on Instagram.

“My birthday baby bump! Maybe HE will come today!?!?” she captioned the shot. “#ItsABoy #ComingSoon #BoyMom #Outnumbered #MomOfBoys #BoyMomsRock #GenderReveal”

And baby makes five kids for Terrence Howard!

The Empire actor and his wife Mira Pak have welcomed their second child together, son Hero, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

Further details are unavailable at this time.

Howard announced the new addition’s arrival Friday on Twitter.

“Hero being held by Qirin,” Howard, 47, tweeted next to a heart emoji and a photo of his new baby being held and kissed by the couple’s older son, who is 15 months.

Howard and Pak have been married since 2013. In May, they stepped out at an event for Howard’s highly acclaimed FOX drama, with Pak’s baby bump clearly confirming she was expecting another baby.

While Hero is the second child for the couple, Howard has three children from a previous marriage: daughters Heaven and Aubrey, and son Hunter.

While the couple seem like they’ll definitely have some help in new big brother Qirin, it sounds like the Hustle & Flow star will likely be pulling his fair share of baby duty too.

“She has to be up with him all throughout the day. I wasn’t born with boobs, I’ve started growing some recently,” the actor joked in 2015 shortly after Qirin’s birth. “She has the boobage and nurses him during the day.

“So, I pull night duty, so that she can sleep and I keep him with me and will take some of the pre-pumped ‘breast cheese,’ whatever you call it.”

“I can’t remember a time where my heart has been SO full,” read Harris’ caption on a photo of the twosome and their dog Nacho, with the Love It Or List It, Too host baring her belly bump.

“Words can’t express how lucky and blessed we feel to introduce a new life into ours and that our wish has finally come true,” Pasutto captioned a snapshot of Harris and Nacho silhouetted in a doorway.

“@nachocilantro on the other hand, isn’t quite sure what that means for him but he’s excited too,” the new dad added.

The couple, who are eight years apart in age, have been together for four years — since Harris was 32 and Pasutto was 24. They wanted to wait a bit, as Harris wrote in her pregnancy announcement blog post, “for Justin to ‘catch up’ in age” to her, and decided late last year was prime to start trying.

“In late 2015, right before my 36 birthday, we ‘practiced for baby’ … and got lucky, we found out 12 days BEFORE my 36th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!” she wrote in the post.

Her girls: Anna Chlumsky now has two daughters!

A rep for the 35-year-old Emmy-nominated Veep star confirms exclusively to PEOPLE that she and husband Shaun So welcomed daughter Clara Elizabeth So on Thursday, July 28.

PEOPLE learned exclusively that Chlumsky was expecting baby number two in April. She and So, a business executive who previously served in the military, were married in 2008.

In May, the actress dished on her pregnancy cravings on Last Call with Carson Daly.

“With this pregnancy, I want Japanese food all the time,” she said, comparing it to her penchant for sweets with her first pregnancy. “I want sushi!”

“This whole thing has taught me that motherhood has a wealth of definitions and identities,” Chlumsky told PEOPLE in 2015. “There’s no one way to be a mom or one way to be a ‘good’ mom.

“I spend every morning thinking about this person in my family,” she said at the time. “Does it feel like what I saw on TV growing up? Not really, but that’s what’s cool about it.”

I had an OB and doula assisted birth at Cedars-Sinai, and the #love and #support of my wonderful #hubby This photo is the perfect representation of everything I’ve ever wanted.”

Ruah’s pregnancy comes after heartbreak: she experienced a miscarriage last October at nine weeks along.

“Something like that hits you physically, emotionally and psychologically, but my doctor said, ‘Even if you sat on my table the whole time, this still would’ve happened. You have to try again,’ ” Ruah told Fit Pregnancy and Baby for the magazine’s September cover story.

That “second try,” was when the pair conceived their little girl.

She said, “Nature is a beautiful thing — it does what it needs to do when it needs to do it.”

“And then my soul saw you and it kind of went, ‘Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking for you,'” Chabert wrote of her new arrival.

The Mean Girls alum has been busy prepping for Julia’s arrival. In June, she shared stunning photos of her little girl’s feminine and whimsical nursery, featuring pink, cream and gray hues complete with faux fur, crystal and florals.

In July, Good Carma Studio hosted a baby shower for Chabert at Ocean Prime Beverly Hills. The bash, like Julia’s nursery, was outfitted with lots of pink and cream colors, complete with a dessert spread from Polkatots and stations where guests could write wishes and create scrapbook pages for her daughter.

“These past nine months have flown by and yet they’ve also felt like an eternity,” Chabert wrote in a PEOPLE blog post on Aug. 10. “It’s surreal and beyond exciting that my due date is finally approaching! In some moments I feel completely ready and in others, I panic that we have forgotten to take care of something before her arrival.”

The actress has also been busy staying on schedule to film projects — including Hallmark’s upcoming holiday film A Wish for Christmas, in which she plays the protagonist Sara.

“Being able to do what I love for a living is a luxury for which I’m very thankful. That being said, being in nearly every shot of a movie, while growing a tiny human, was challenging,” Chabert wrote of the experience of hiding her bump on set in a June blog post for PEOPLE.

Willa Ford has something new to sing about: motherhood!

The “I Wanna Be Bad” singer and her husband, former NFL linebacker Ryan Nece, welcomed a son on Wednesday, Sept. 7, at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, her rep confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

Born at 10:28 p.m., the couple’s first child weighed in at 7 lbs., 12 oz. and measured 20 inches at birth.

“Willa is absolutely glowing,” a rep for Ford tells PEOPLE exclusively, noting that both mommy and baby are doing well. “She and her husband are going to be the most amazing parents ever.”

“There is no greater love then what I feel for our little boy and my husband Ryan,” Ford wrote on Twitter Tuesday morning. “Watching them together makes my ❤️ explode. #myboys”

Want all the latest pregnancy and birth announcements, plus celebrity mom blogs? Click here to get those and more in the PEOPLE Babies newsletter.

In March, PEOPLE confirmed the news that the couple, who were married in October 2015, was expecting. Since then, Ford has shared snaps of her growing belly — including one of her attending her friend Lacey Chabert‘s baby shower in July.

“So grateful to be going through this crazy journey with you @IamLaceyChabert,” the new mom, who had her own baby shower in June, captioned a sweet photo of the two moms-to-be admiring each other’s baby bumps.

Ford — who competed on Dancing with the Stars in the show’s third season and is now an interior designer, and whose husband formed the Ryan Nece Foundation in 2006 — has also had no problem being candid about the realities of pregnancy on social media.

“How much of a cliche am I at 9 months pregnant eating alone at doghaus shoveling a chili cheese dog down? #dontjudge,” she tweeted on Aug. 3.

The new mom also shared a glimpse into her newborn’s nursery exclusively with PEOPLE in August. The gender-neutral, nature-inspired space was one she designed herself.

While Ford and Nece, 37, waited to find out the sex of their first child until his birth, his mama had a very different inkling of what would be coming.

“I think I’m having a girl! I have felt like that since three and a half months into pregnancy. My husband also thinks it’s a girl, but my mom thought I was a boy,” Ford told PEOPLE in August.

“In some weird psyche way, I’m prepared for a girl, so if it’s a boy, it’s going to be really funny. I’m excited either way, but it’ll be entertaining.”

And though the couple had a shortlist of names, they were waiting to meet their baby boy before making a final decision.

“I need to look in this baby’s eyes before I can name it,” she added in August. “We have favorites, but I’ve gotta meet this baby first. I hope in that moment we know, because there are people who leave the hospital and still don’t know!”

“When I first held my baby, the world melted away and I knew he was the most important thing I’d ever do,” Breckenridge tells PEOPLE.

After “a lot of research,” the first-time mom chose a natural water birth at a local hospital, where she was supported by a team of midwives and a doula.

“I had the benefit of being surrounded by experienced, loving women, while being overseen by medical staff, just in case,” she says. “Luckily, everything went beautifully and no interventions were needed. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I’m definitely an advocate for water birth if you choose to go natural.”

And although the actress and Hooper, a guitarist for Katy Perry, had previously picked out their baby’s name, Breckenridge, 34, admits she had a change of heart.

“We had another name for him picked out before he was conceived, but while I was jet-lagged in London, maybe three months pregnant, I had a weird feeling his name was Jack,” she recalls. “I have no idea where it came from, but I just knew. The same way I knew that he was a boy. Call it mother’s intuition?!”

Breckenridge celebrated the pending arrival of her son during a quilt-themed baby shower in June, where she was joined by Walking Dead costar Alanna Masterson and her daughter Marlowe.

“It was so incredible to have all my favorite women come together to help make this adorable quilt for our son,” the mom-to-be told PEOPLE after the party.

Elissa Slater was a fan favorite on Big Brother 15, but now the reality star is focused on being mom to a set of brothers at home.

“Our new lives have been so blessed,” the yoga studio owner and fitness and nutrition specialist tells PEOPLE of welcoming son Forester Bruce Elijah, who was born on Sunday, Sept. 11, weighing 6 lbs., 11 oz. He measured 20.5 inches long.

“My delivery was so calm and wonderful. It was a dream,” says Slater, 30, who followed in her sister Rachel Reilly‘s footsteps to compete on the CBS reality competition show in 2013.

“My mom, Rachel and my husband [Brent, 42,] were all in the delivery room to watch Forester’s birth. I went into labor about an hour after picking Rachel and [her 5-month-old daughter] Adora up from the airport, so Forester waited for his aunt before making his appearance!”

Forester’s middle name was chosen to honor Brent’s brother, who passed away from pancreatic cancer eight years ago, says Slater.

Now home with big brother Reily, 11, Forester is already beginning to show his own personality.

“Forester is the best little baby and we are praying his calm nature sticks,” says Slater. “He’s loved to eat since he came out, but luckily he also loves to sleep! He is letting me get some rest in between two-and-a-half-hour nursing. He’s been so good to us and we are absolutely in love.”

Emily Maynard Johnson has welcomed her third child!

The lifestyle blogger, author and former Bachelorette welcomed her second son with husband Tyler Johnson.

Maynard Johnson first announced the news on Instagram with a sweet family photo.

“Oh heavenly day… God is good! {Ricki and I are officially outnumbered!},” she wrote.

PEOPLE can exclusively confirm that the New York Times bestselling author weighed in at 8 lbs., 9 oz. and was 21 inches long.

The Johnsons are also parents to 14-month-old son Jennings Tyler, as well as Maynard Johnson’s 11-year-old daughter Ricki from a previous relationship.

Maynard Johnson announced her pregnancy in a PEOPLE blog in March, jokingly calling herself “a glutton for punishment” considering she was expecting again shortly after welcoming Jennings.

“I guess I should’ve read that part in the baby handbook that says you’re super fertile after giving birth, huh?” she wrote.

While Ricki was “just so excited because now she gets to move into the playroom, which happens to be the biggest room in the house,” Maynard Johnson admitted she felt a little bad in regards to Jennings.

“I’m sure he’ll have no clue what’s going on, [but] I feel a little guilty just because he didn’t get to be the baby for very long!” she confessed.

The new mom of three kept the sex of her third child a surprise.

“I don’t really care what it is now that we have one of each,” she told PEOPLE in March. “Part of me wants to not find out. How many times in your adult life are you truly surprised by something? It’s so much fun.”

Now that she has a full house, Maynard Johnson — who has opened up in the past about her struggles with postpartum depression — is looking forward to the “chaos.”

“I really have no concept of what it will be like,” she told PEOPLE in August. “There will be good days and bad days, but I know it will work out. And I’m just looking forward to watching them all grow up together.”
