Lea Michele is going to be a mom … again! The 37-year-old Broadway star, who is married to businessman Zandy Reich, revealed that she’s pregnant with her second baby in a sweet Instagram post Wednesday (March 27), sharing photos of her bump.
In the pictures, Michele — who is already Mom to 3-year-old son Ever Leo — poses with a silky white shawl draped over her shoulders, cradling her baby bump as it peeks through the fabric.

“Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed,” she captioned the post.

Trending on Billboard

Some of the Glee alum’s famous friends chimed in with supportive messages in the comments, with Zooey Deschanel writing, “Congratulations!!!”

Ashley Tisdale, who also recently announced that she’s pregnant with her second child, added, “So excited for this beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️.”

Michele and Reich tied the knot in 2019. The couple became first-time parents the next year, welcoming Ever in August 2020.

Their news of baby No. 2 comes about seven months after the actress wrapped up her tenure as Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl, in which she starred alongside Ramin Karimloo. She and her castmates took the stage at the summer 2023 Tony Awards — where she wasn’t eligible for a nomination, having replaced the run’s original leading lady Beanie Feldstein — for a showstopping performance of “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”

And while the Barbra Streisand-originated role was a dream come true for Michele, mom life always comes first. In March, she took some unexpected time away from Funny Girl to care for her son after he was hospitalized due to an undisclosed “scary health issue.”

Two days later, she was back in business at the August Wilson Theatre in New York City. “Thank you all for your well wishes this past week,” she wrote via Instagram Stories at the time. “We are taking our boy home from the hospital soon. Thank you to all the amazing doctors and hospital staff.”

The shoe retails for $160 for adults and $130 for kids.

“When I think about keeping an Air Max model fresh, color is actually the first thing I think of,” Juliana Sagat Lead Footwear Designer for Nike Lifestyle said in a press release. “You usually think about the visible Air unit carrying the emotion, but we see color as a holistic tool to bring more emotion to a silhouette. The Dn was designed so that color works precisely and in unison with the Dynamic Air platform, the upper, and the general profile of the shoe. When you can do that, your form of self-expression is limitless.”

Nike Air Max: A Brief History

The Air Max has been around for nearly 40 years. Nike debuted the innovative sneaker, designed by Tinker Hatfield, on March 26, 1987.

Paris’ the Centre Pompidou inspired the design for the original Air Max. As the story goes, Nike sent Hatfield to Paris for inspiration, which he found in the Centre Pompidou’s deconstructed design – the building is essentially flipped “inside out” with all of its mechanics featured on the outside. Hatfield channeled that concept into the Air Max’s exposed air bubble.

The Air Max also features groundbreaking, cushioning technology for a more comfortable step. The shoe remains one of Nike’s bestsellers along with the Nike Dunk, and retro favorites such as the Air Jordan 3 and Air Force 1.

Nike has been celebrating Air Max Day since 2014, which it usually commemorates with the release of a new design. In addition to the Air Max Dn, Nike also unveiled the Air Max 1 ’86 Premium in a new colorways.

The Nike Air Max Dn is available at nike.com, although some colorways are already sold out in select sizes. You can also find the Nike Air Max Dn in stores and on the SNKRS app.

Rihanna opened up about motherhood, individuality and chasing her dreams for her Vogue China cover story.  
Speaking with Editor-in-Chief Margaret Zhang, the 36-year-old Fenty mogul shared what she thinks is “the most beautiful thing” about raising her two sons with A$AP Rocky, 22-month-old RZA and 7-month old Riot Rose. “[Children] come into the world with their own individuality and sincerity, without any logic or conformity, which usually makes you feel that you must fit into a certain group,” she said, as shared in an Instagram post Tuesday (March 26). “It’s really beautiful to see and I want to continue to help them navigate that and make sure that they know they can be whoever they want to be.”  

“They should embrace it completely, because it’s beautiful, and it’s unique,” Ri added. “I love them just that way.” 

The “Rude Boy” singer also spoke about chasing her dreams as an artist and businesswoman, two endeavors that have led her to 14 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, nine Grammy awards and an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion, to name just a few of her accomplishments. “We always want our parents to be proud … I [certainly] wanted to make my mom and my dad proud,” she told the publication. “But the reality is, I did it by standing up for what I believed in and pursuing my own path and dreams.” 

Trending on Billboard

“I’m living my dream,” she continued. “My parents were very proud of that because they just wanted me to be happy and successful. So, I think the key thing is to find some kind of balance. Yes, balance is important. Do this and you get the best of both worlds. You can write your own life the way you want, and it will be beautiful. Sometimes, you just need to let go of everyone’s expectations and start living your own story.” 

During her Vogue China photo shoot — for which Ri personally provided creative direction — the superstar rocked her hair long and straight as well as in beautiful braided patterns. Since then, she’s chopped her hair into a blonde pixie cut, which she debuted while stepping out in Santa Monica, Calif., last week.

DJ Khaled isn’t just working on a new album, the music producer also announced a campaign with DJEEP lighters, which officially debuted on Thursday (March 21).

DJEEP decided to tap DJ Khaled as the face of the campaign since he’s not only a fan of the lighters, but fearlessly shares his passions with the world.

Trending on Billboard

“I’ve been blessed for things that I love and that comes organic to me,” Khaled says while wearing his favorite Nike Air Jordan 3 “Green Glow” sneakers in an interview with Billboard. “When I got this opportunity, I always had a lighter in my hand because I love making great music. When I’m in the studio, when I hear something hot that we’re making, I always [light up a lighter]. But when I was growing up, DJ in the clubs and all that, any time a hot song would come on, we would [light a lighter].”

DJEEP Pocket Lighters

The brand’s lighters boast high quality performance with the ability to hold up to 3,500 lights per lighter. There are four collections that will help show off your style and personality including metallic hues, marble prints and a simple wood texture. Amazon offers a four-pack of lighters with a variety of shades from each collection to stock up on.

Some of his favorite things he likes to light up with his DJEEP lighters? Cigars and a Diptyque candle in the scent Baies, which he also makes sure is lit when he hosts artists in the studio.

Diptyque Candle: Baies

Diptyque’s Baies candle comes with up to 60 hours of burn time and emits a berry-inspired scent that’ll help create a comfy ambiance. You’ll want to make sure you trim your wick after each use for the best care, according to the brand.

The “I’m The One” artist also makes sure his studio is stocked with DJEEP lighters, water and snacks like gummy bears. And, for some inspiration, he keeps a giant framed picture hung that he changes twice a year.

“Right now, it’s a picture of me and Drake, and I’m holding a sign saying ‘I got two Drakes,’ he says. “I love that. It’s going to be on my new album.”

And in terms of artists on his collaboration wishlist, DJ Khaled actually hopes to work with an artist he’s already collaborated with.

“I want to work again with Rihanna,” he says. “I’ve worked with her and we made a big hit record called ‘Wild Thoughts’ — I want to make another record with her. That’s my wishlist.”

Sneaker collectors or fans of the artist can also buy a pair of his favorite Air Jordans online, which are still in stock.

Air Jordan 3 Retro “Green Glow”

The Air Jordan 3 Retro sneakers are one of the artist’s favorite pairs to sport now. They feature a black and gray textured print with glowing vibrant green accents. To keep his sneaker collection pristine, DJ Khaled prefers to stock up on his most-loved styles.“I would buy five pairs of each one because I don’t like when they get creased up, I need a fresh pair all the time,” he tells.

We were very, very involved in it from the get go to the end.
