Willow gave a glimpse of her growing baby bump with a mirror selfie the following month, writing, “Me and baby dude just trekking along.”

Don’t try to destroy the other party. Encourage your children to be friends with them. (At end of the day, it is better for your kids if more people show up to cheer them on at a soccer tournament. Remind yourself that every day).”
