In the December Issue of American Baby magazine, we asked readers which celebrity had a Christmas baby: Phil Collins, Emeril Lagasse, Rebecca Lobo, or Billy Baldwin.
One of the WNBA's original stars, Rebecca Lobo, gave birth on Christmas Day in 2004 to daughter Siobhan (pronounced "shiv-awn") Rose. In her NBA blog, Lobo wrote of her pre-announced pregnancy: "As my husband [Sports Illustrated writer Steve Rushin] pointed out, when people see my inflated middle these days, they'll either assume that I'm pregnant or that a Jujubee retirement diet has gotten the best of me."
Phil Collins became a fifth-time dad on December 1, 2004, when son Matthew Thomas Clemence was born. Emeril Lagasse welcomed second baby Meril on December 10, 2004. And Billy Baldwin became a three-time dad on December 6, 2004 when daughter Brooke Michelle was born.
