But is this an actual phenomenon, a wildly convenient excuse, or have parents simply stopped pretending they know how babies are made by round three? Let’s unpack the third-child theory. And while we’re here, we reminisce about the good, the beautiful and the mostly very difficult reality of our newborn life. Happy Tuesday, DLs!

Hollywood actress Hayden Panettiere has tragically died at just 36 years old from a suspected overdose. She was found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday, August 16. A true millennial icon, Hayden began acting as a child and broke through in Remember the Titans at just 10 years old, before going on to star in Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise. Bella is joined by Gem to unpack the devastating news in real time, reflecting on Hayden’s extraordinary career, the darker side of growing up in the Hollywood machine, and the complicated intersection of child stardom, exploitation and addiction that she spoke so openly about throughout her life.
