"When Mom got into the car without him and starting to pound the horn, Dad finally ran out, forgetting half the hospital supplies."

"At the hospital, Mom doubled over and told the first person she saw that she wanted an epidural. (They may or may not have been an employee.) Dad put a hand on her back and tried to remind her that she hadn't wanted the epidural yesterday.

"Mom brushed his hand away. She pointed out that she wasn't in labor yesterday. Dad tried again and was shushed by a wise nurse who said, 'We want you to go home in one piece'," they said.

"Leave it to Page Six to scoop my own announcement," she joked on camera before announcing her first child with Dokoupil - their son Theodore, born in 2019 - and two step-children will become older siblings.

Her announcement came after she touted her company's maternal leave policy, arguing that every American should have access to similarly comprehensive programs.
