The video was a joint Instagram post made alongside Charlotte’s Instagram handle. That’s right! The married couple has created an Instagram handle for their baby girl under the username @charlottejaneharmer. It currently has 1,556 followers.
MyKayla Skinner’s pregnancy journey revealed
Skinner and Jonas officially began dating on November 20, 2017, and engaged on October 16, 2019. And on November 14, 2019, they shared the wedding vows infront of friends and family members in Gilbert, Arizona Temple.
After being married for over three years, on March 25, 2023, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child. They made a joint Instagram post to share pictures of them holding a sonogram and made the pregnancy announcement.
They wrote, “Surprise!!! We have been keeping the biggest secret and can’t believe we are going to be parents! We are so excited for this new chapter and couldn’t be more blessed…. Newest member of the family baby Harmer coming September 2023.”

Almost two months later, on May 10, the gymnast and her digital creator husband took to their Instagram handle to reveal that they did a gender reveal, where they found out they were having a baby girl.
On September 2, 2023, Skinner sat down with People Magazine for her maternity photoshoot, where she also opened up about the next chapter of her life. During her exclusive interview, she said, “We are so excited to finally have this little girl as a part of our family.”
“Pregnancy has been super rough, which I was not prepared for! Sometimes, I feel like pregnancy is harder than being an Olympian. I have developed so much respect for all the moms and soon-to-be moms out there,” she added.
“Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a mom. Obviously, that was never an option as a competitive gymnast, so as soon as I retired after the Tokyo Olympics, I wanted to start having babies!”
“My husband Jonas wasn’t quite as ready for kids, so we waited a year after my retirement before we started trying. [The pregnancy journey] was a lot harder and more stressful than anyone had told me,” Skinner stressed.
As Skinner continued, she went into the details of getting pregnant. She revealed that she and her husband spent six months tracking her ovulations and trying to time everything right. And around Christmas of 2022, they came to terms with the fact that it takes longer for some people to get pregnant.
“We realized we might just have to wait a while for our baby to arrive, so I stopped tracking everything so religiously and stressing so much, only for my period to be late at the end of January,” she concluded.
After confirming she was pregnant, she surprised her partner with a shoebox that contained the positive tests. “It’s one of my favorite memories to this day,” she admitted, adding that the early days of pregnancy were challenging as she often felt sick.
In another interview, the Olympic medalist revealed that her due date was September 27, 2023. She also added that being a mother was always a priority to her, and for her, this moment was better than an Olympic medal, although her Olympic medal is pretty cool, too.
Well, now that Skinner has given birth to her baby girl – six days before her due date – she can relish motherhood, which she always wanted.

Danielle Maltby’s New Tattoo Reflects Breakup, Life Changes, and More
“And then she started surviving. And then she found herself.”
Danielle Maltby is getting candid about her new tattoo and its meaning!
The Bachelor in Paradise alum recently got a new tattoo, which reads, “And then she…” in cursive on the outside of her wrist. When her eagle-eyed fans noticed her new ink, they began asking questions about it and wondered about the meaning behind her latest tattoo.
As many had guessed, her new tattoo also reflects her recent breakup with her now-former boyfriend, Michael Allio. Maltby and Allio began dating during Bachelor in Paradise season 8, and their relationship continued until Allio announced their breakup in September 2023.
On Tuesday, April 23, 2024, Maltby took to her Instagram handle to share a few pictures flaunting her new tattoo. Through the caption, she decided to answer the fan’s query regarding the meaning behind her tattoo.
She wrote, “I’ve had a few DM’s and messages about my new tattoo, so here we go. Break ups, big moves, life changes, death, new jobs, new beginnings are just these massive plot twists in our lives.”
“Looking back on all these things that have challenged my story and character arc (go with the analogy here), I just kept leaning into ‘and then what?’ And then what did I do?” Maltby added. She then revealed what she did over the course of the past few months.
She continued in the caption, “And then she… broke. And then she felt everything all at once. And then she found sparks of joy. And then she washed her hair. And then she smiled. And then she made someone else smile. And then she hurt again.”
“And then she thanked god she wasn’t with him. And then she got a new job. And then she moved. And then she started surviving. And then she started thriving. And then she went on vacation alone. And then she found herself.”
“And then she fell in love with everything and herself. And then she shown brighter, and brighter, and brighter. And then she… ??? There’s always an “and then…” to our stories. They’re constantly being written,” Maltby added.

“Love this. And then she lived her best life! Tattoos are my healing and storytelling too, you’ve shown bravery and grace and that should always be celebrated!” another Instagram user commented.
As for Maltby’s other tattoos, she once revealed to ABC that she had a few of them. She mentioned that she had a tattoo on her ribs, which she was getting removed, and one on her lower back, which was almost removed.
Additionally, she stated that she had one tattoo on her left ring finger that spells “strength.” Furthermore, in her tweet of February 2, 2019, she revealed that she has a Deathly Hallows tattoo, referring to the three Deathly Hallows from the Harry Potter film series.

Caity Lotz Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby with Husband Kyle Schmid
Congrats to the married couple!
Congratulations are in order for Caity Lotz and her husband, Kyle Schmid, as they are expecting their first baby together.
Rumors of Lotz’s pregnancy were first initiated after her Instagram post on April 11, 2024. She posted a few pictures of herself with her friend, in which she was donning a red bikini at a beach and seemingly hiding her baby bump.
The pregnancy rumors were eventually met with a positive response. On Saturday, April 20, Lotz and Schmid took to their respective Instagram handles to reveal that they were pregnant with their first child. The married couple had shared four identical pictures.
In one picture, Schmid can be seen holding his wife’s growing baby bump as she sits on his lap. In another, the married duo is holding each other’s stomachs. Similarly, they posted a sonogram photo as the fourth picture of their respective Instagram posts.
Lotz captioned her pregnancy announcement, writing, “Gaining weight for the role of a lifetime.” On the other hand, Schmid wrote a bit lengthy caption, starting with, “Never would have thought the woman of my dreams could have become anymore beautiful.”
“Your glow, your shine, you’re going to be the best mom in the world. I can’t wait to be a proud poppa. What a whirlwind of a year!” he concluded his heartfelt caption along with four hashtags: “mommabear,” “poppabear,” “bigpoppa,” and “highfive.”
Following their pregnancy announcement, Lotz’s Arrowverse co-stars – including Candice Patton, Katherine McNamara, Javicia Leslie, Danielle Panabaker, and more – along with many fans filled the comment section with congratulatory messages.
For instance, actress Olivia Swann wrote, “AHHHHHHH congratulations Caity!! Sending huge love to you and Kyle, incredible news,” with actress Jes Macallan commenting, “So beautiful! Can’t wait to love on this baby. Can our littles go to summer camp together when they get older?!”
A couple of days later, on Wednesday, April 24, Lotz took to her Instagram handle to share another picture of herself flaunting her ever-growing baby bump. Along with the photo, she wrote, “Now that I’m (hopefully) past all the nausea and extreme fatigue, I’m loving being pregnant!”

As mentioned earlier, this is Lotz and Schmid’s first baby. The now-married couple first met each other through a mutual friend. Their first date was a “quick coffee double date,” which they had with their mutual friend and her husband on February 21, 2021.
Lotz and Schmid eventually began dating, and their bond grew stronger as time passed. A little over a year after they started dating, Schmid decided to take his relationship with his then-girlfriend to the next level and proposed to her in May 2022.
On May 7, 2022, Schmid shared some moments from their engagement via Instagram, expressing his love for his then-fiancee. “The sun rises and sets with you. The moon and the stars have never shone so brightly. You are the love of my life,” he captioned.
Likewise, days before the then-engaged duo celebrated their second dating anniversary, they walked down the aisle and shared their wedding vows. Lotz and Schmid married in an intimate ceremony on February 11, 2023.
Speaking a little about their wedding, it was a destination wedding in Cartagena, Colombia, where only close friends and family members were in attendance. The Flash alum later informed her fans about their marriage on Valentine’s Day of 2023.

Lauren Luyendyk Wants 1 More Baby with Arie Luyendyk, Told Husband to Reverse Vasectomy
“Just wait a little.”
Lauren Burnham Luyendyk, also known as Lauren Luyendyk, has spoken her mind on whether she wants to have more children with her husband, Arie Luyendyk Jr., aka Arie Luyendyk.
The answer is that she wants to have one more baby with her partner. Besides, she even told her husband to get her vasectomy reversed. These revelations came during Lauren’s recent Q&A session, which she held over her Instagram handle.
On Monday, April 22, 2024, Lauren hosted an Instagram Q&A session where one of her followers asked her if she felt her family was complete. The Bachelor alum and her husband are currently the proud and blessed parents of three children.
In reply to the fan’s question, Lauren stressed that the question was a hard one as she recently even told her husband to reverse his vasectomy. However, the parents of three sometimes have a hard time with their kids.
She wrote, “This is such a hard question for me… I told Arie to get a vasectomy reversal the other day, but then we have super hard days sometimes with the kids, and then I sort of question it. I don’t know. I think I might want one more, but just wait a little.”
Lauren’s answer left many of her followers to believe that the reality TV star and her longtime husband might welcome one more baby in the near future. However, it is currently unknown when the married couple will welcome the new addition to their family.
Moreover, Lauren’s husband, Arie, also has to reverse his vasectomy before they plan on having more kids. In this regard, Arie had a few things to say during his recent Q&A session on Instagram in late March 2024.
Firstly, when one Instagram user asked The Bachelor alum if his life at the moment was how he envisioned his future when he started his journey as the Bachelor, Arie replied that he never thought he would be this lucky.

His reply read, “I never thought in a million years I would be this lucky. Honestly, this is better than the future I had carved out in my mind. Lauren is everything and has also given me so much more to love with our three kids. I am forever grateful.”
Right after answering that fan question, he answered another fan question regarding his vasectomy and if he would ever consider reversing the procedure. He tagged his wife’s Instagram handle and wrote, “Whatcha think Lauren?!”
Coming over to Lauren and Arie’s relationship, she has been married to her husband since January 12, 2019. They met on The Bachelor season 22 and engaged on the show itself. Shortly after their wedding, on May 29, 2019, they welcomed their first child, daughter Alessi.
In 2020, Lauren suffered a miscarriage; however, later, in December 2020, the married duo announced they were expecting their second child. Later, it was revealed that they were expecting twins. On June 12, 2021, they welcomed daughter Senna and son Lux.
Some months after the arrival of their twin children, Luyendyk and his wife jointly decided that Luyendyk would have a vasectomy. On February 1, 2022, the reality TV star uploaded a YouTube video revealing he got a vasectomy.
