Culpo shared that her husband is "so excited," she added. "I think he's gonna really enjoy it and be just the best," reported People.

Beautiful couple! But honestly, why do we Indians get so excited about foreign celebrities' babies when we have so many inspiring parents in our own country? Just saying...

Her comment about needing her mom when becoming a mom hit me hard! Exactly how I felt when I had my first baby last year. Motherhood connects women across cultures 🌸

Nice to see celebrity couples valuing family. In India, we'd have had 10 aunties giving gyan about baby names and astrology charts by now! 😂

Interesting to see how Western celebrities share such personal moments publicly. In India, we'd probably wait for the naamkaran ceremony before announcing anything!
