Steph Claire Smith has revealed the harsh reality of having a three-week-old baby. The KIC co-founder, 31, who welcomed her second child at the end of May, took to Instagram to share what it's really like getting through the night with a newborn. 'A realistic time-stamped night with a three-week-old and four-year-old,' she captioned the first slide, which showed her holding baby Billie while dressed in her pyjamas. The second slide then revealed just how difficult juggling two children under five can really be. Written on her Notes app, Steph detailed a time-stamped night with her kids, which included getting up at multiple intervals to feed her little one, while also soothing her son, Harvey. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Written on her Notes app, Steph detailed a time-stamped night with her kids, which included getting up at multiple intervals to feed her little one, while also soothing her son, Harvey\ The mum-of-two fed her newborn five times between 8:30pm and 8:30am, while waking up at 5:20am when her four-year-old wanted a cuddle. In the caption, Steph said she was inspired by other mums who had documented their nights with their babies and that she took her hat off to them for being able to film their multiple wake-ups. 'I wanted to share what an average night looks like for us at the moment but absolutely did not have the capacity or motivation to film haha so I took notes instead,' she admitted. Steph then went on to reveal that her friend and KIC co-founder Laura Henshaw, who announced her first pregnancy in June, praised her for the raw post, while also pointing out that it was 'terrifying'. 'Laurs messaged me yesterday and sent me one video, saying it was super insightful but also semi terrifying (as she's expecting) and I get why it would be! 'Some nights are rougher than others. Some people have more support than others. Some people are bottle feeding or expressing on top of feeds and others don't. So it's important not to compare and question,' she said of the experience. The social media star then revealed that finding her feet with a newborn was way trickier the first time around and that she had found the process easier with her second. 'The transition from 0-1 baby is without a doubt, more than 1-2.. at least it has been in our experience! 'You may look at nights like these as someone without kids and think how the F am I going to cope.. and let me assure you, you just do.' She added: 'The more support you can have from your partner if you have one, or family throughout the day to give you rest in the day, the better.' Steph and her husband Josh Miller welcomed their second child in May, announcing the exciting news on Instagram. 'She's here,' wrote Steph. 'Billie Claire Miller joined us on Wednesday & we're so in love. So excited to take her home to her big brother.' Alongside the sweet caption, the KICPOD co-host posted a gallery of black and white photos to commemorate the important occasion. One image saw Steph cuddling the bub as she breastfed. In another, she and Josh doted on their bundle of joy, who they dressed in an adorable onesie and white beanie. The final picture in the reel saw Steph cradling her daughter to her chest as she smiled up at the camera.

Melrose Place icon is a grandmother! Star announces surprise arrival of newborn Grayson
Melrose Place alum Laura Leighton announced the arrival of the newest and littlest member of her family, newborn grandson Grayson, on Tuesday. The 56-year-old Golden Globe nominee - 148K Instagram followers - captioned her sweet snap: 'Wearing my Nana hat again, this time for my perfect grandson! Sweet baby Grayson. Sweet smooshiness.' Indeed, Laura (born Laurie Miller) became a grandmother for the first time in 2023 when her stepdaughter Madeleine Savant Dault welcomed her now 22-month-old daughter Josephine. 'I'm a Nana!' Leighton gushed at the time. 'Madly in love with this bundle of perfection named Josephine. Yep. #grandparenting.' The Still the Place podcaster famously met her husband of 27 years, Doug Savant, on the set of Darren Star's hit Fox soap opera while portraying the flame-haired vixen Sydney and the openly gay doctor Matt. The 60-year-old Desperate Housewives alum reportedly left Melrose Place in 1998 after six seasons because the network refused to allow the writers to explore his character's love life. 'We've raised four children together and we're pretty proud of that,' Laura told the Still Here Hollywood podcast last January. 'And still going. It truly was the best thing to come out of the show.' Leighton and Savant are parents of 24-year-old son Jack and 20-year-old daughter Lucy, and he welcomed daughters - Adrianna, 33; and Madeleine, 31 - during his 14-year marriage to Dawn Marie Dunkin, which ended in 1997 (the same year they got engaged). On September 14, the Iowa-born beauty reunited with her former castmates Josie Bissett, Daphne Zuniga, Brooke Langton, Grant Show, and Heather Locklear at 90s Con 2024 in Daytona Beach, FL. Laura and Zuniga gave an update on CBS Studios developing a Melrose Place reboot executive produced by them and starring them as well as Locklear. Leighton explained that there were a lot of 'moving parts and pieces' involved and 'the stars need to align, but we want it as much as the fans want it.' 'Everyone has agreed to do it. Laura and I worked on this for a little bit now,' 62-year-old Daphne - who played Jo Reynolds - added. 'It is in talks. Business affairs and lawyers and all those types are talking about it, and they do want to do it.' Laura said the continuation, set 30 years later, will catch up with what happens to all of the original characters. 'There's all these fan stories, all these great conspiracies and those are just wonderfully creative ideas, an example of everybody's interest in where they would be,' Leighton told the crowd. The Iowa-born beauty and Zuniga gave an update on CBS Studios developing a Melrose Place reboot executive produced by them and starring them as well as Locklear: 'We want it as much as the fans want it' 'We were such an easy group of people. We loved each other then. We can't think of anything better than to come back together and tell a new story soon.' Laura's character, whose the younger sister of Jane (Bissett), appeared in the first five seasons before being hit by a car and 'killed' in 1997 only to be resurrected for The CW's 2009 reboot and murdered yet again. Leighton hasn't acted since guest-starring in an episode of Dynasty and an episode of Fantasy Island in 2021. Laura is also well known for her role as Ashley Marin in I. Marlene King's mystery teen drama Pretty Little Liars, which aired for seven seasons on Freeform spanning 2010–2017.

"I don't know why I let these trolls get to me and try and ruin my relationship. "Chet an I are working hard to get back on track for the sake of us as a couple and out family, and this is the last time I will speak on this matter."

Sharing an adorable video of the baby boy, Blackson comedically captioned the post, 'Happiest day of my life and no DNA needed lol. Meet lil Mikey.' See below. The couple first shared they were expecting earlier this year, when Rada posted a playful update revealing her growing bump. 'My stomach kept growing, I thought it was weight gain…..No, I've confirmed 7 times that it's not a food baby that I'm carrying,' she joked in February. 'We both are ecstatic….we can't wait to meet our little miracle.' By May, they had thrown an elegant baby shower surrounded by close friends and family, with Rada expressing heartfelt gratitude for the love and support. 'There are no words to describe the thankfulness I feel from the bottom of my heart,' she wrote at the time. 'It's great to know that baby Blackson will come into this world surrounded by love.'

'You want to be really, really set with everything before you make that step.' Two years later, the Next Friday star took their long-standing relationship to another level, popping the question to Darling live on air during an interview with The Breakfast Club.

Charlamagne tha God wasted no time stirring the pot, telling her, 'He said he gonna marry you… he said he wanna get married, Rada!' Rada, caught off guard but quick on her feet, turned to Blackson and said, 'You told me that the other day! You going back on it now?' Without missing a beat, Blackson reached into his bag, pulled out a ring, and dropped to one knee right then and there. 'Rada, I love you. Will you marry me?' he asked. Overwhelmed with emotion, Rada tearfully said yes and sealed the moment with a laugh and a cheeky response: 'Yes! Bye side bi**hes, yes!' Congratulations to Michael Blackson and Rada Darling!
