Nicky Hilton Rothschild Welcomes Baby #2! Find Out Her Meaningful Name

Dec 22, 2017

Talk about an early Christmas gift! Nicky Hilton Rothschild and husband James Rothschild welcomed their second baby this week, a daughter they decided to name after a dear family member.

Teddy Marilyn Rothschild was born on Wednesday, December 20 in New York City, the new mom’s rep confirmed to People. Teddy’s middle name is a tribute to Hilton Rothschild’s late paternal grandmother, Marilyn June Hawley, wife of the family’s namesake, grandfather Barron Hilton.

“Feeling very blessed this holiday season,” Hilton Rothschild tweeted of the news.

Teddy joins big sister Lily-Grace Victoria, who was born in July 2016. The new parents are reportedly “so thrilled to give Lily-Grace a baby sister.” There are no pictures yet of little Teddy on social media, but Hilton Rothschild’s family reportedly flew in from California for the birth, and her sister Paris posted several throwback photos of herself and an infant Nicky along with their mother — a sweet gesture from the sentimental new aunt!

The Rothschilds revealed the news of their second pregnancy back in July, saying that they were thrilled to be welcoming a new addition to the family.

In November, Nicky’s mom,, Kathy Hilton threw her a lavish baby shower at her Bel Air mansion. Because the expectant parents were waiting until the baby’s birth to find out the sex, there were plenty of pink and blue cakes on hand — perfect for little Teddy either way. Congrats to the growing family!

Hoda Kotb Reveals She Adopted Baby #2! Find Out Her Sweet Name

Hoda Kotb is officially a mom of two! The Today co-host surprised her colleagues on Tuesday, April 16, by calling in to reveal that she and partner Joel Schiffman adopted their second daughter.

“It’s a girl! It’s a girl!” Kotb said over the phone as her Today co-workers excitedly applauded the news. “And her name is Hope.”

Kotb went on to tearfully describe the overwhelming feeling of bringing home her second daughter. “Oh my god, you guys. First of all, she’s laying on the boppy pillow right now, I’m feeding her, and I can’t believe it,” she said. “In your life, you think that maybe you’ve gotten what you deserve, but man, I’m so happy.”

Back in February 2017, Kotb revealed that she and Schiffman were the proud new parents of a newborn baby girl named Haley Joy. Now 2, Haley is enjoying being a big sister to her newborn sibling. “She was trying to feed her her raspberries and I was like, ‘Not yet, babe,'” Kotb joked, adding that the toddler was marching around and proudly calling herself a big sister.

The Today co-anchor previously dropped what we now know was a hint about the little one’s arrival, posting an image to Instagram that said simply, “Choose Hope,” on Monday, April 15.

Hope’s middle name is significant, too. “We named her middle name Catherine after my best friend Karen[‘s] daughter,” Kotb said through more tears. “Her husband passed a little while ago and Catherine is so super strong and it just so happens she was here this weekend with Karen and I was like, ‘You know what? There are no accidents in life. Everything is supposed to happen in this moment the way it’s happened.’ So anyway, Hope Catherine Kotb.”

Congrats to the growing family!

Elle Fanning "Uncontrollably Sobbed" During One Of Dakota's Movies As A Kid

As much as I love celebrity couples, I love celebrity sibling relationships even more. And Elle and Dakota Fanning are two sisters I've grown up watching since I first saw Dreamer in 2005. Considering Elle Fanning is only five months older than me, and I have a sister of my own, this is one relationship that feels particularly familiar. And while Elle has also watched Dakota Fanning act since we were kids, Dakota just revealed seeing Elle onscreen is just as special for her.

Here's why Dakota & Elle Fanning get emotional seeing each other onscreen.

Elle remembers "sobbing" during one particularly emotional Dakota Fanning movie.

“When Elle’s in anything, it makes me feel it deeper,” Dakota Fanning said at TheWrap’s Power Women Summit on December 3. “She never can fully disappear into a character totally for me as her sister. She obviously does an amazing job, but I’m always gonna see my little sister a little bit.”

And Elle is just as touched by Dakota's roles, and remembers "uncontrollably sobbing" after seeing Now Is Good, a movie where Dakota's character was dying of cancer. “Because it was my sister, I had a real traumatic reaction after that premiere and the screening,” Elle says. “Obviously the acting, but it was something felt on a deeper level.”

“I’m doing this job, I’m an actor because my sister started before me and I watched her,” Elle continues. “I wanted to do exactly what my big sister wanted to do.”

And their movies have also made an impact on everyone who watches them.

When Brit + Co caught up with Dakota Fanning at the world premiere of The Watchers, I had to ask about one of her most iconic movies: Uptown Girls. "I love it," she says of TikTok memes and edits giving the movie new life. "It's nostalgic for people who are kind of around my age, who grew up watching that movie, I think it's like a comfort movie for people. And so I love that people are still revisiting it and loving it. And maybe now that everyone's older [they're] understanding different things about it."

Dakota starred opposite Brittany Murphy, who also had roles in movies like Clueless, 8 Mile, and Girl, Interrupted. Brittany passed away in 2009 when Dakota was 15. "I loved Brittany so much and I still miss her," she says. "So anytime that she has, you know, a moment where people think about her is also nice."

You can see Elle Fanning in A Complete Unknown, in theaters December 25, and you can also stream Dakota Fanning's new show The Perfect Couple on Netflix now.
