Ali Fedotowsky Wants a ‘Big Family’ and Is Considering Adoption for Baby No. 3

Not done yet! After saying two kids were enough for them, Ali Fedotowsky and her husband, Kevin Manno, are thinking about adopting their third.

“One thing we’ve talked about recently, and this is very early stages of discussing, is maybe adopting,” the former Bachelorette star, 34, tells Us Weekly exclusively. “Because that way, also, we’re helping a child that really, really needs [it]. … It’s not like we have to get pregnant now because I’m pregnant for nine months and then we want the kids to be close in age, [so] we could do it later. And I think that’d be really special.”

The blogger adds: “I like the idea of having a big family, but not being pregnant.”

Fedotowsky and the radio host, 35, tied the knot in 2017, one year after the pair started growing their family. Molly was born in 2016, and her little brother, Riley, arrived in May 2018.

Two months after her son was born, the reality star told Us exclusively that she and her husband were all set with their two tots. She said there was “no chance in hell” that they would try for another.

“We’re talking about vasectomies. Like, we are done,” she said at the time. “I’ve done enough, OK? I’ve had children, I’ve been through pregnancy, labor. He can do something this time. Yeah, no. We’re having those conversations. We don’t want more than two. The thing is, a vasectomy is reversible … but, like, we’re like certain we don’t want one, even though I say, never say never.”

Now that her baby boy is 10-months-old, the Massachusetts native is considering other options — even though having two kids at home is no walk in the park.

Celebrities Who Adopted Dogs

“If one kid’s hard, two is 10 times as hard. It really is,” Fedotowsky, who has teamed up with Puffs Tissues to help people face the cold and flu with Puffs Plus Lotion, tells Us. “But we feel like a family now. Not that we didn’t when it was Molly, but I think we always knew we wanted two, so now with the two, everything feels complete.”

It's a ... girl?

The lavish baby shower for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, in New York City this week may have provided a few clues that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's first child, who is expected this spring, could be a royally adorable little girl.

In addition to appearances by Meghan's celebrity pals like Amal Clooney, Gayle King, best friend Jessica Mulroney and former "Suits" co-star Abigail Spencer, the baby shower at The Mark Hotel also included plenty of pink.

Was it a subtle nod that a girl is on the way or just a part of the festivities? Hmm ...

There were pink cookies alongside some adorable stork and baby rattle cookies.

There also was plenty of pink in the beautiful flower arrangements that were posted on Instagram by Lewis Miller, who wrote that he gave the guests a class on how to arrange their bouquets.

The duchess also imbued the event with some charitable giving. She donated all of the flowers to the organization Repeat Roses, which recycles and distributes them to other charitable groups around New York City. The Ronald McDonald House, the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge in New York City and Unique People Services received the fresh arrangements from the baby shower.

"I thought that was a very sweet thing. I mean it just speaks to who she is. She's very kind. She's very generous, and a really, really sweet person," King said Thursday on "CBS This Morning."

The flowers "brought a ray of sunshine on a cold winter day" to pediatric and adult cancer patients, Repeat Roses wrote on Instagram.

There also was more pink in the form of fluffy cotton candy Meghan reportedly served her friends during the celebration. A cotton candy machine was captured by photographers on the curb of the hotel before being taken inside.

So does all this mean that the couple may be having the future BFF of Harry's niece, Princess Charlotte? If that's the case, it remains to be seen if the little girl will carry the title of "princess" or "lady" due to a century-old rule related to royal hierarchy.

We'll find out this spring!

Meghan Markle Didn’t Open Gifts at Her Baby Shower for This Sweet Reason

Meghan Markle recently made her way to New York City — reportedly her first trip back to the US since her May 2018 wedding to Prince Harry — for a baby shower thrown by some of her closest friends. Since the visit wasn’t part of her official royal duties, Kensington Palace is staying mum on the details. But fortunately for us, Gayle King was one of the guests and is happy to share what went down.

The shower, which took place at the Mark Hotel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side on Wednesday, February 20, was put together by Markle’s good friends Serena Williams and Jessica Mulroney, as well as the duchess’ longtime best friend, Genevieve Hillis, according to King. Guests brought gifts, but the former Suits star opted to wait to unwrap them.

“She didn’t open any of the gifts, because she wants to do that when her and Harry are back together,” King revealed to her colleagues on CBS This Morning on Thursday, February 21.

Instead, Markle and her guests spent time making floral arrangements to later be donated to charity. “She’s a very private person … but I hope she won’t mind me sharing this because I’ve never seen anything like this at a baby shower,” King said.

The flower arrangements were distributed by Repeat Roses, an organization that recycles flowers for use in hospitals and other care centers. According to People, the celebrity-made pieces from Markle’s shower were donated to pediatric cancer patients at Ronald McDonald House Charities of New York.

“I thought that was a very sweet thing. I mean, it just speaks to who she is,” King continued. “She’s very kind. She’s very generous, and a really, really sweet person.”

King added that a good time was had by all at the event, which was kept to around just 20 of Markle’s closest friends, including her former Suits costar Abigail Spencer and Amal Clooney. “It was a very, very small, private affair, and just a very special time for her,” King said on CBS This Morning. “Because having a baby is a great thing. Let’s not lose sight of that.”
