I always forget that Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen got together about a decade ago, and I always forgot that they were still together and they had a baby too. They really flew undercover, especially in the past five years or so. Part of their ?undercover? status was that they both truly shunned the spotlight, and part of it was that the spotlight wasn?t really looking for them. Anyway, Us Weekly now says that they?re done and they?ve been done for several months. What of Briar Rose Christensen?!
Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen have split after nearly ten years together, a source exclusively confirms to Us Weekly. ?She?s full-time back in L.A. He?s in Toronto,? says the insider. “They?ve been on the outs for a couple of months.? The source adds: “They are completely, officially done.?
The actors first met on set of their 2008 film Jumper and got engaged that December. They quietly called off their engagement in August 2010, only to reconcile three months later. Bilson gave birth to their daughter, Briar Rose, in October 2014. “Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson welcome their daughter Briar Rose Christensen born on October 29, 2014,” her rep told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “Both mother and baby are healthy and doing well.?
Their little girl?s moniker is a nod to the duo’s mutual love of Disney. “There?s a Disney reference there I suppose,” Christensen said during an appearance on Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family in August 2015. “The original Sleeping Beauty is called Briar Rose. Rachel ? we both love Disney ? but Rachel especially was very keen on the name.”
Bilson, 36, and Christensen, 36, have kept their relationship private throughout their years, however the Hart of Dixie alum gushed about her life with the Shattered Glass actor in a May 2013 interview with Cosmopolitan. “I’m a really good girlfriend ? I always put all that first in my life. I’m definitely the person who would make him his favorite dinner to come home to,” Bilson said at the time. “I love to cook, so we make dinner at home a lot and watch movies.”

I forgot that they did the breakup-and-makeup cycle in 2010 too! Damn. And I guess they never did get married? I can?t find anything about a wedding or a wedding announcement, so I guess they broke off their engagement years ago and then just never got re-engaged when they did get back together. That makes me sad – I get the feeling that Rachel adored him and I get the feeling he was a major pill. I hope Rachel and little Briar Rose are able to move on and find happiness elsewhere.

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen, both 33, have welcomed their first child together. It seems like Rachel has been pregnant forever, but that’s probably because she was getting papped constantly during her pregnancy. Plus she had her baby shower in late August, which is just about right as she would have been 32 weeks along but it still seems like a long time ago. Rachel had a baby girl, whom they named Briar Rose. That’s the original title of The Grimm Brothers fairy tale which became Sleeping Beauty. Here’s more, thanks to US Weekly, which seems to be Rachel’s go-to outlet:
Summer Roberts is a mom! Rachel Bilson and boyfriend Hayden Christensen have welcomed their first child together, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm via multiple sources.
The couple gave their baby girl a Disney princess-themed name — Briar Rose! The adorable moniker is a nod to the 1959 classic Sleeping Beauty; sheltering Princess Aurora from Maleficent’s curse, the three fairies call the little girl Briar Rose. It’s also the name that was used in the original Grimm Brothers fairy tale in 1812.
Us broke the news back in May that Bilson, 33, and the Star Wars actor, also 33, were expecting a baby. “They’ve both talked about this for awhile and are so excited,” an insider told Us. “Everyone is beyond thrilled for them.”

Rose is a beautiful name, but Briar? I guess they could call her “Bri,” but that sounds short for Brian. It’s a bizarre name to me, but there are definitely worse baby names. Plus at least they’re sharing their baby’s name with the press. They even explained where the name came from. I appreciate when celebrities do that. Congratulations to Rachel and Hayden!

It?s been a week full of baby announcement and Rachel Bilson didn?t want to be left out of the bunch! On Thursday (November 5), the ?Hart of Dixie? beauty gave birth to her first child.
The 33-year-old actress welcomed her bundle of joy with boyfriend Hayden Christensen in Los Angeles.
According to reports, the couple named their daughter after Princess Aurora?s nickname in Disney?s ?Sleeping Beauty.? Their girl?s name is Briar Rose. How sweet!
We first reported that Rachel and Hayden were expecting a baby in May. A source told Us Weekly that the couple is full of joy, saying, ?They've both talked about this for a while and are so excited. Everyone is beyond thrilled for them."

I know like 5 people are going to care about this story but my brain needs a break from some of the horrible things that are going on lately. I want to pretend I’m at Rachel Bilson’s baby shower giving her advice.
Bilson, 33, is due to have her first baby, with boyfriend Hayden Christensen, also 33, sometime this fall. Bilson announced her pregnancy in late May, and assuming she was around three months along at that time she’d be about seven months pregnant now. I could be wrong, she could be due sooner than that.
Anyway US Weekly has details of Rachel’s baby shower over the weekend. It was attended by her Hart of Dixie costar, Jaime King, along with Natalie Portman and some of Rachel’s family and childhood friends. Instead of gifts, guests gave Bilson a bead that will go on a special necklace she’ll wear while giving birth. With the bead, each guest gave her a piece of advice. I like that tradition! How have I never heard of that before? Here’s more, including the detail that Rachel is having a girl:
The Hart of Dixie actress, 33, was feted on Sunday, Aug. 31, at a private home in L.A. According to the source, guests included Bilson’s high school girlfriends, family, and a handful of celebrities including fellow moms Natalie Portman and CW co-star Jaime King.
Bilson’s shower gifts, however, veered away from the traditional. “Instead of gifts, everyone brought a birth bead,” the insider tells Us. “Each person gave her a piece of advice and a blessing along with the bead.”
The beads were to then be stranded together into a necklace for Bilson. “She will use the beads for strength during labor,” the source explains.
In return, guests went home with party favors including tea and mints that came in boxes affixed with a tag reading “Rachel & Baby, Mint to Be.”
As for the woman of the hour herself? “She’s so excited to be having a baby girl,” the insider says. (Us Weekly exclusively revealed in May that The OC alum is expecting her first child with boyfriend Hayden Christensen. The two went glamping most recently to celebrate Bilson’s 33rd birthday on Monday, Aug. 25.)
“She’s wanted it for a long time and is going to be an amazing mom,” the source adds of Bilson’s pregnancy. “Everyone is ecstatic for her.”
[From US Weekly]
That’s lovely and a great idea. I googled “Birth Beads” and I guess this is a baby shower thing that people are doing. Here’s part of the explanation from WhatToExpect with more at the source. Birth beads are “an African tribal tradition. Those close to the mother make a wish for the baby and another wish for the labor. Each wish is represented by a bead. The mommy-to-be will find comfort in wearing the necklace or bracelet during labor. It reminds her that she is not alone and there are many people projecting good thoughts at this time.”
I really like that, especially for celebrities who are probably gifted countless items from baby companies and who are so wealthy they can buy exactly what they want. Why bother getting them gifts they will barely use? It sounds like it takes a lot of the pressure off too. I wonder if you could use this concept with music, for example. Like each guest could pick a song that’s relevant to her and add the song to a shared spotify playlist for the mom-to-be. Advice, ideas or music are a great gifting idea for so many other occasions too, like weddings or anniversaries. It’s much more meaningful than a typical gift, especially for established people who don’t need money or things. Graduates would probably still appreciate some cash, but for other occasions this would work.
Congratulations to Rachel and Hayden! I bet she’ll be a great mom.

They?re about to add a lot of Pink into their household because Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen are reportedly expecting a baby girl.
According to People, sources shared that the couple is getting ready to welcome a little princess into the world.
A rep for Bilson denies the report and calls the source?s claim ?speculation and gossip.?
This isn?t surprising since the ?Hart of Dixie? star and her ?Star Wars? beau have remained very quiet on the pending parenthood. Neither of the actors or their reps have confirmed the news at this time.

Here is Rachel Bilson baring her bod on the beaches of Barbados with Hayden Christensen.
With her Pink snorkel and mask in-hand, Rachel strode into the water for some natural relaxation.
We love how many bikinis she?s been showing off lately! Actually, we think someone should definitely give her a maternity swimwear campaign, because looking this good, we’re sure she’d sell a ton!

Above is the most recent photo we have of Rachel Bilson, at the CW upfronts on May 15. She was also photographed in a bikini just last month. She doesn’t look pregnant to me, but she is! US Weekly has announced that Bilson, 32, is pregnant with her first baby, with boyfriend Hayden Christensen, 33. Hayden and Rachel have been together for seven years. The last we heard from Rachel, in her interview with Health Magazine, she said that she wanted to be a mom “any year in the next few years.” Just last year, she said she had “family on the brain.” It’s happening for her now, according to US Weekly.
Rachel Bilson is going to be a mom!
The Hart of Dixie actress, 32, is expecting her first child with longtime boyfriend Hayden Christensen, multiple sources confirm exclusively to Us Weekly.
“They’ve both talked about this for awhile and are so excited,” a Bilson insider tells Us. “Everyone is beyond thrilled for them…”
Star Wars actor Christensen, 33, and Bilson met in 2007 on the set of Jumper. The typically private, low-key couple got engaged in December 2008 and then called it off in August 2010, only to reconcile 3 months later.

US also had the news back in 2010 that Rachel and Hayden had called off their engagement after a year, so this seems to be official. The two of course got back together, but didn’t get engaged again from what we know. This begs the question: are they going to get engaged again and/or married now that Rachel is pregnant? I don’t think they have to or should, I’m not a traditionalist that way, I just am honestly wondering. Plus I think Rachel wants to get married, given all that she’s said about it. Congratulations to Rachel and Hayden!

Rachel Bilson covers the June issue of Health Magazine, out later this week. They Photoshopped her face so much that she looks like a different person, like a very attractive girl who vaguely reminds you of Rachel Bilson. I wish that magazines would stop wrecking photos of already beautiful women, but it’s not going to happen. As a former web designer, I imagine the Photoshop artist is somewhat blameless and that she has a harpy of an editor standing beside her, or an entire management team, saying things like “make her chin sharper, smooth the forehead, now make the eyes wider, even wider.”
Health has released excerpts from Bilson’s interview and you can read the whole piece on their website. I got a somewhat bad impression from just the pull quotes, but in the full article Bilson comes across much better. I have the feeling that she’s a private person is trying to give interesting quotes while remaining guarded. She said that she wants a family with her partner of seven years, Hayden Christensen, which she said last year. So that makes me wonder somewhat why they’re waiting. Rachel is 32 and Hayden is 33. She also gave TMI about her unhealthiest habit, eating Flamin Hot Cheetos. Here’s some of what she said:
On when she feels her all-time unhealthiest?
?My unhealthiest is when I binge on Flamin? Hot Cheetos, because it happens. I binge. I can admit it. I?ve actually gotten better this year. It got to a point where I was eating them so much that, like, you poop red every day! You?re like, ?OK, I don?t know what?s going through my body, but I probably should stop. There are problems.??
On her relationship with actor, Hayden Christensen?
?He?s so incredibly supportive and considerate. It?s so basic?that should be there. Because these things are so much more important when you?re older. I?ve been in my relationship for seven years, so we?ve grown up together in a way. This is my partner, my support, just there for me no matter what. And vice versa.?
On starting a family?
??To start a family would be good, any year in the next few years. I?ve always wanted to be a mom. I have always wanted kids. I can just see this little toddler waddling around the house.?
On looking young?
?I?ve always looked young because I?m so short, and especially if I?m dressed down. When I have a baby, everybody?s going to be like, ?Awww, poor teen mom. Poor girl.? And Teen Mom is my favorite show. That?s what I download and watch on the plane. Like, don?t talk to me, I?m watching Teen Mom. I know, pathetic. But it?s true.?
On how she avoided ending up a party kid?
?I grew up in L.A. and did all that when I was younger. I went to the clubs and did all the drugs and alcohol. I got it out of my system, so by the time I was on The O.C., I was like, ?Wow, I can just enjoy this.? Then I started dating a co-star [Adam Brody], so it was more of a domesticated thing; you?re just home or with friends?and not out to party.?
On why she can?t wait to be 80 years old?
?I secretly wish I was 80? It would be amazing? You can do whatever you want, and no one is going to mess with you. You can go to sleep at 9 p.m. and not get reamed for it. Because I do that ? I watch my shows in bed with my friends and go to bed at 9?I?m not afraid of the early bird special. I will eat dinner at 5, no problem.?
On embracing her body in her 30s?
?You?re so much more comfortable and don?t give a crap about the stupid things that you cared about when you were in your 20s. I would never want to do my 20s again. I hate that our society is so focused on that body-image stuff. Girls growing up now are aware of their bodies instead of what?s important. Live your life and be a kid and don?t think, I wish I was skinnier. I wish my butt wasn?t so fat.?
On being sexy?
??I?m pretty modest. It?s just what I?m drawn to. It?s OK to be sexy everyone once in a while, but you don?t have to show everything to be sexy?It?s all about subtleties. Keep ?em guessing!?
[From Health]
The stuff about wanting to be 80 made me roll my eyes, but in the context of the interview it sounded like a natural progression. The journalist asked Bilson what she had “too much of in your closet” and she said “granny nightgowns…. Like, full-on long-sleeve, long nightgowns. They’re super comfortable.” Then she talked about how she has old lady habits like eating early and going to bed at 9. I do that. I seriously eat around 5, sometimes earlier, with the exception if I’m eating with friends. I go to bed at 9 every night and get up at 5 am. In no way do I want to be 80 though. I want to live longer than that, but I bet that I’ll have aches and pains and health problems that will make me want to feel younger.
