Oh, baby! Leighton Meester‘s pregnancy is bumping right along. 

The Gossip Girl alum and hubby Adam Brody are currently expecting baby No. 2, and fans got their first glimpse at Leighton’s growing baby bump during a recent outing in Los Angeles. 

The actress, 33, dressed casually for the afternoon stroll in a pair of black overalls and a gray T-shirt. A source tells E! News that Leighton, Adam and their daughter Arlo have lately been enjoying daily walks throughout their new neighborhood. 

Just a few months ago, the longtime coupled splashed out a cool $6.5 million for a coastal home in the L.A. area. Our insider says Leighton and Adam are “friendly with the neighbors and fit right in [walking around] with their daughter in a stroller.” 

“They’ve been stopping to say hi to people from a distance and are always smiling and friendly,” the source describes of their outings.

Leighton and Adam have yet to officially announce the pregnancy, which is not so surprising given their penchant for privacy. In fact, the real-life Blair Waldorf and Seth Cohen rarely ever attend red carpet events or open their personal lives up to the world. 

“We’re homebodies,” Adam told GQ. “We don’t go to a lot of things that perhaps we could, and don’t seek out promotion in that way. I’m not s–tting on anyone who monetizes that aspect of their life because I get it. But we’ve found this great balance so far that really works for us. We’re also not very active on social media.”

Hey, we’ll take any Leighton and Adam moment we can get! 

Cody Simpson knows the way to girlfriend Miley Cyrus‘ heart.

The Australian crooner had Miley’s heart aflutter—and everyone else watching for that matter—when he read a poem from his book of poems Prince Neptune, which is available for purchase Tuesday, April 7.

Prior to Cody reading his poem, Miley had Lili Reinhart read some of her work from her book Swimming Lessons, something that made her uncomfortable. “I got all weird because I’m not good with mush,” the singer explains. 

Nonetheless, she wanted her hunky beau to share the poem he wrote about her. So without further ado he read, “In the ancient night, she flies once more back to her home in the stars. I try to chase her there but fall short because I cannot breathe up that high in the radiant heavens where she lingers. I can only admire her from below, humble, starry-eyed poet with the desire for that which is most beautiful. And she is most beautiful. All other—”

Cyrus interrupts to yell, “Babe!”

He continues, “—sleep in winter forests, but she is the one who swims in the sun and doesn’t burn up.”

As his reading session comes to an end, the “Malibu” singer reveals she’s “freaked” by the fact that he calls her “the most beautiful.” 

They then start discussing how Miley cut Cody’s hair because she was “mad” about her own haircut. “I love you, you look so cute,” she gleefully tells him. 

After exchanging more than a few ‘love you’s’ they say goodbye, but Cody ends their talk first. She jokes, “He’s the only one who’s hung up on me first. This is why I’m into this guy. You know? That’s what I need.”

In addition to Cody’s riveting poem, they sang a cover of “True Love Will Find You In The End” by Beck.

And unfortunately, tomorrow will be Miley’s season finale for her makeshift talk show Bright Minded. For the finale, she’s going out with a bang and interviewing Selena Gomez, Elton John, Jimmy Fallonand Kerry Washington. So make sure to tune-in when she goes live on Instagram at 11:30 a.m. PST!

Colton Underwood didn’t watch Peter Weber‘s season of The Bachelor.

The former football player explained why on Thursday’s episode of The Jenny McCarthy Show.

“Honestly, I did not [watch]. I had a little PTSD,” the season 23 star said, noting he did follow along on social media.

When asked to elaborate, Underwood said it was “just the frustration.”

“I’m not really under contract anymore, which is great,” he told the SiriusXM host. “But at the time I was. So, I couldn’t really speak out, or if I got frustrated, I couldn’t tweet anything. I think for me it was to avoid any temptation of pissing production off in a way. So, I just sort of took a couple steps back.” 

Still, Underwood said he “watched what happened” and “heard what happened.”

“I obviously have social media,” he continued, “and I was just frustrated for him. ‘Cause there were moments, like you said, where you can tell that was set up. I’m like, ‘You guys have to help him out. He’s struggling somewhere. So, just set him up a little bit more for success.’ So, I was more frustrated for Pete, I think.”

The reality TV star admitted there are moments on the show when The Bachelor is struggling and could use some “alone time.”

“There are producers; there’s camera guys; there’s everybody around you and you’re just like, ‘Can I just sit and be alone in this moment and just sort of, like, decompress and figure out what I want and what’s going on?'” Underwood continued.

Underwood, who recently released his book The First Time: Finding Myself and Looking for Love on Reality TV, also explained being on the show can be a “hard thing to navigate.”

“We understand what we sign up for to a certain degree,” he said at one point. “Of course, there’s things that you’re going to have to stand up for yourself and fight for. I think the hardest part is you have to realize it’s show business, but it’s also personal because we’re real human beings playing ourselves on this show. So, you have to find that value and sort of put your foot in the ground and draw that line in the sand and make sure that you’re not willing to compromise on certain things. I mean, I even admitted it in the book, I did certain things because I went along and I was playing it to the TV show and there were certain things I wasn’t willing to budge on.”

Still, he said there’s a “fine balance.”

“It’s so hard, even for me,” he continued. “It’s like, I’m not here to rip the franchise apart. I think they’re really, really good at their jobs. I think they have a really good product and they put out a really good TV show. But at the same time, I have a life that I really want to hold true to my values and who I am for after the show. They move on to the next Bachelorette and the next Bachelor and I have to live with the decisions that I make on that show.” 

However, he acknowledged the show “does work.” For instance, he’s still with Cassie Randolph, who actually left the show and led him to jump over a fence.

For fans who are like Underwood and didn’t want Weber’s season, here’s what happened: Weber proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss; however, they ended up breaking up after Weber admitted he couldn’t give her his whole heart. The model from Tennessee claimed Weber “downplayed” his feelings for fellow finalist Madison Prewett, who had left the show after she found out Weber had been intimate with another contestant, and that he still wanted to find “closure” with former Bachelorette Hannah Brown. Prewett and Weber then reunited on After the Final Rose, where she had an awkward exchange with his mother. However, they announced their decision to go their separate ways just days later. Weber has recently been spotted hanging out with another lady from his season: Kelley Flanagan.

Clare Crawley will be the next one to hand out the roses on the 16th season of The Bachelorette. Although, filming for her season has been postponed due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
