DAD S
Ups and Downs Sean Lowe admits that his parenting style has changed since welcoming baby No. 3. “I find myself acting more like a grumpy dad,” jokes the former Bachelor, 37. “I’m a pretty laidback person, but when three kids are constantly screaming and crying, I find myself losing my patience more often than I probably should.” Here, Lowe — who shares Samuel, 4, Isaiah, 2, and Mia, 16 months, with wife Catherine — tells Us about his family of five.
Q: Do you ever play favorites? Mia is by far the best child. She’s just got me wrapped around her little finger. If anyone wants two boys… Q: Have you and Catherine thought about more kids? We’re talking about it. I’ve come to terms with the fact that we might [only] have three. [They’re] a handful. Q: Do you miss the newborn stage? It becomes more fun when they start to develop their little personalities around eight months. Q: How do they all get along? They love each other, but there’s always crying. Someone stole someone’s toys, someone’s eating someone else’s food, someone hits somebody. 24

Fredrik Eklund has two boss babies on his hands! “They’re getting a sense of identity,” the Million Dollar Listing New York star, 44, tells Us of twins Freddy and Milla with hubby Derek Kaplan. Not only do the 3-year-olds want to dress themselves, but they don’t like being told what to do. “They think they know everything,” he explains. “It’s hysterical.”
“I’m always open to it if it happens,” Lopez says of having more kids.
KEEPING HIS DAY JOB Homeschooling has taught Mario Lopez an important lesson — he’s not cut out to be an educator! “I’m just an awful teacher,” the actor, 47, tells Us. “The biggest challenge has been thinking I could handle third grade math. I couldn’t! They went ahead and changed math on me.” The former Saved by the Bell star — who shares Gia, 10, Dominic, 7, and Santino, 22 months, with wife Courtney Mazza, 38 — jokes that his eldest two children didn’t learn anything while quarantined. “I never By Riley Cardoza / With reporting by Christina Garibaldi & Stephanie Webber
used Google so much in my life,” admits Lopez. “It was harder on us than the kids.” Thankfully, Lopez has been able to help his children elsewhere. His daughter, Gia, recently landed a part alongside her dad in the upcoming Lifetime flick Holiday in Santa Fe. “She did a really good job,” says Lopez, noting that he’s still waiting to see if Gia will follow in his acting footsteps. “I’m not encouraging it, but I’m not necessarily discouraging it either,” he adds. “[If] she wants to do [it], I’ll support her.”
Though he and wife Heidi Montag, 34, are currently trying for baby No. 2, Spencer Pratt, 37, tells Us that he pushed back their plans during the pandemic out of fear of missing his baby’s birth. “It was so magical the first time,” says the Hills: New Beginnings star, who welcomed son Gunner in 2017. “You hear stories about dads having to wait outside of the building, and then coming in just for like two minutes [to see their baby] through glass. I didn’t want to do that.” USM AG A ZIN E.COM

Royal Bad Blood he big blows just keep on coming. Two months after Prince Harry’s bombshell tell-all with Meghan Markle, he’s made even more shocking accusations against the royal family — this time, criticizing them for the way he was raised. During his chat with Dax Shepard — in which he also compared his former life as “a mix between The Truman Show and being in a zoo” — Harry, 36, blamed his father, Prince Charles, for perpetuating a “cycle” The queen is “appalled” that of “genetic pain and suffering.” The Ha rry “continues Duke of Sussex went on to say that it to savage them,” was likely a result of the way his dad says a source. was brought up by his own parents, Queen Elizabeth II and the late Prince Philip. FINAL INSULT The recent comments have left The Firm “shocked to the core,” a source tells Us, especially the queen, 95, who’s maintained a good relationship with her grandson. “All the senior members of the monarchy, Her Majesty included, believe enough is enough,” continues the source, noting that “there’s mounting talk that the Sussexes need to give up their royal titles.” However, it’s unlikely the queen would act on it. Adds a second source: “She’s very hurt, but still has a soft spot for Harry.”

During a recent interview, Big Brother alum Courtney Stodden opened up about being previously cyberbullied by the cookbook author, 35. “She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap,’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself,” alleged the TV personality, 26, who first rose to fame at age 16 in 2011 after marrying a then-50year-old Doug Hutchinson.

COVER STORY star and Gone Girl actor, 48. “They’re making plans to see one another as often they can. It’s clear that they are crazy about each other.” Lopez’s former publicist Rob Shuter tells Us the Hustlers actress never fully got over Affleck, even after moving on with ex-husband Marc Anthony (they share 13-yearold twins Max and Emme) and later Rodriguez. “As far as I know, she still has the engagement ring,” says Shuter.

ROUGH ROAD Jolie’s reputation has taken a beating over the years. (See box for more on her changing public persona.) She was raked over the coals when she and Pitt hooked up shortly after his split from America’s Sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston. “She spent years turning a blind eye to people’s negative judgments and perception of her as some ruthless villain,” says the insider. “But as much as she remained cool and calm on the surface, there were times it stung and infuriated her.” Her ongoing divorce battle with Pitt has been painful, but Jolie With reporting by James Robertson
recently revealed she’s finally starting to see the light. “The past few years have been pretty hard,” she told British Vogue in March. Her happiness, she said, “[is] slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body.”
BRIGHTER DAYS The insider says Jolie’s resiliency has given her a newfound feeling of confidence. And she may even be ready for romance soon! “Angelina has said from the get-go how she wants the custody case with Brad settled before she moves on to someone else,” reveals the insider. “Neither of them want the judge to see them gallivanting around with another partner before they settle their case.” While she occasionally misses the excitement that comes with meeting someone new, the insider says she doesn’t want to date just for the sake of it. “Angelina’s in no rush,” adds the insider. “She plans on taking her time to find someone who’s really special.”

I HAD TO DO SOMETHING I found out my mother experienced the same problems when she was younger. But since so much of my “personality is in my hair”, I didn’t want to have the same issues. I read about the importance of hair nutrients and immediately went looking for a good supplement.
MY HAIR NOW FEELS FULLER The pharmacist pointed out a dietary supplement from Sweden called Hair VolumeTM, which customers were raving about. It contained a patented apple extract and biotin. I’ve now used this supplement for two months and I am really satisfied. My hair feels full and healthy and even my nails feel so much stronger.
