“Kingston, Gwen and Gavin Rossdale welcomed the newest member of their family,” they say in a statement. “Mother, baby and family are all happy and healthy.”

“I’m in a race to have another,” she told InStyle magazine last year before announcing her pregnancy.

Not only is Lisa Marie Presley expecting twins, but Elvis Presley’s daughter is now baring her baby bump in a new photo spread of “Marie Claire,” reports People magazine.

The singer decided to expose herself in this spread in order to fire back against people who, early in her pregnancy, posted unflattering photos of her and just accused the star of having a large, unhealthy appetite.

“They want me to be him,” she tells the magazine, referring to her father. “It’s like they can’t wait.”

Presley claims “the tabloids were going so far as to alter photos. I could never figure out why they went to all that trouble to make me look fat.

“There are at least six other famous women pregnant right now who aren’t getting picked on,” she says in the interview. “But they’re all over me. It’s like there is a campaign to demean me.”

Back in May, Garner’s husband Ben Affleck reportedly told the UK’s ‘Times’ newspaper that he and his wife were expecting baby No. 2.

“We’re going to have another baby soon,” he added, “now that we’ve figured out how to do it. We want lots of kids.”
