CHRIS PRATT AND KATHERINE SCHWARZENEGGER WELCOME BABY GIRL – (08/11/2020)

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have welcomed their first child together, a little girl. The 30-year-old’s brother Patrick confirmed the news to ET, saying that his sister and brother-in-law are “doing great.” The pair shared the first photo of Lyla Maria on Monday, writing: “We are beyond thrilled to announce the birth of our daughter Lyla Maria Schwarzenegger Pratt.” 

Pratt included two Bible verses in his caption:  The first, Psalm 126:3, read, “The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward,” read the second, Psalm 127:3-4. “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”

A source tells People that they spend the weekend at home after welcoming their new bundle: “They knew they were having a girl and were thrilled about it. Kat had a good pregnancy and she is hoping for a quick recovery. So far, so good. She is going through all the first-time mom emotions. She is extremely happy, but a bit tired and overwhelmed. Chris keeps being amazing though. It’s comforting for Kat that he is already a dad and understands how it is to have a newborn.”

Because of the new coronavirus restrictions, their extended family couldn’t meet the baby, including grandparents Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

“As soon as Kat and the baby got home from the hospital, Maria and Arnold visited. They are both proud grandparents of course. They also visited over the weekend. Maria is making sure that Kat has everything she needs,” the insider tells People

Her siblings Christina and Christopher also visited. 

The baby joins big brother Jack, who turns 8 on August 17th. The 41-year-old Pratt shares Jack with his ex-wife Anna Faris

“Jack will be a great big brother. Katherine always says that he is the sweetest, most caring boy. Katherine thinks Chris is an amazing dad. She allowed herself to fall in love with Chris quickly because she early on realized that he is a great family guy,” an insider told People in April. “She loves being an extra mom to Jack.”

CARDI B DEFENDS DECISION TO PUT KYLIE JENNER IN ‘WAP’ VIDEO – (08/11/2020)

Cardi B has defended her decision to include Kylie Jenner in her new video for “WAP.” As previously reported, a Change.org petition was created to remove Kylie from the clip. The petition now has over 65,000 signatures. 

In now deleted tweets, Cardi said that she put Kylie in the video because Kylie “treated my sister and daughter so lovely at her kid bday party.” She continued, “Travis and Set are real close and Kris Jenner have giving me advice on certain things I ask for and her husband real cool with mine.”

Later a fan tweeted, “Normani did ALL this and Kylie walked down the hall and opened a door. If that’s not a perfect visual indication of Black women having to do the most and white women do the bare minimum to get somewhere, I don’t know what is.”

Cardi responded, “Normani is one of the best female artist that dances Like she dances her f*ckin a** off! Why would she open a door? Please tell me how that would make sense? The best part of the song is the beat & hook it what makes you want to shake your a**.”

She continued, “Not everything is about race. Theres issues out here in the world that it is about race that I i preach all the time about. This is not about f*ckin race.”

SIDE NOTE

.“WAP,” which also features Megan Thee Stallion, also includes appearances from  Normani, Rosalía, Mulatto, Sukihana and Rubi Rose. The video has nearly 60 million views in 72 hours.
