Giuliana Rancic is a new mom and she’s very open and honest about the fact that she puts her marriage before her baby. She is also incredibly hardworking, and went back to work as an E! correspondent just two weeks after undergoing a double mastectomy and reconstruction for breast cancer. She’s mentioned that she’d like to cut back on work, and that she’d eventually like to add another baby to her family. Now that Giuliana and Bill’s son Duke is one, she’s thinking about having another child. In a recent interview with In Touch, she mentioned that she’d like a girl she could dress up with. She also compared it to having a doll. I hope she’s joking.
“I’d love a little girl,” gushes Giuliana Rancic, 38, about her gender preference for a sibling for little Duke, whom she and husband Bill, 42, welcomed last August with the help of a surrogate. “As a woman, you dream of having a little girl so you can wear the same outfits,” says [Giuliana]. “It’s like having a doll – but it’s a real person!” In Touch caught up with the reality star about surviving marriage stress, sleep deprivation and her surprising secret talent.
Sounds like you’re really looking forward to having a little mini-me!
Yes! I’ll buy her an American Girl doll and they can wear the same outfit, then I can get an adult version of the outfit so the three of us match. I’d Instagram that all day long!How would Bill feel about that?
He’d probably be freaked out! But sometimes I secretly dress Duke in the exact same outfit as Bill for a barbecue or something. Then it takes Bill an hour to figure it out.So are you guys already trying for baby No. 2?
We know we want to, but we don’t know when. I can’t get pregnant because I’m on medication [related to her 2011 breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy], but we’re open to surrogacy again – and I have embryos ready on ice!Has it been hard juggling your busy career with being Duke’s mom?
In the beginning, I was so stressed. Like, I needed professional advice on how to balance it all. But I’m getting the hang of it now. I make my coffee and clean up the house with Duke on my hip.How do you two split baby duties?
It’s crazy. Last night I had Fashion Police until 11, so Bill put the baby to bed and I had morning duty. Duke gets up at 5am, so yeah, we don’t sleep that much. But it’s ok!You’ve been so open about your fertility issues – did that ever affect you and Bill as a couple?
In the beginning, we faced so many struggles I was nervous we might split up. But we turned to humor. He’d call me “Old Eggs” and I’d call him “Old Sperm.” The laughs help you stick together.What’s the best surprise about parenthood?
There’s nothing sexier than a good father. Our love life’s gotten better since the baby. It’s steamier!Who is the most famous person who has flirted with you?
I’ve interviewed George Clooney a lot and I’d say he flirted with me a bunch of times – but that could just be in my head!
[From In Touch, print edition, August 12, 2013]
Giuliana and Bill consider Chicago their hometown, that’s where Bill is from and Giuliana has said that she’d like to live there permanently. So I think she’s mentioning the American Girl line because it was started in Chicago and she probably really wants an excuse to go there. (I went to the flagship store in Chicago by myself about 10 years ago. It was a different world.) She seems so superficial to me in just about everything she does and says, so it’s not surprising that she lists clothing and accessories as her main motivations for having a girl. Still, she has a job where she talks about clothes all day (ditto, sort of) so she’s probably just trying to give a good quote. And I have to admit that I do this too. I’ll end up in the same color and print shirt as my son all day and think “did I do that on purpose? I must have but I don’t remember.”
These are photos of Giuliana at the airport with baby Duke a couple of weeks ago. He’s adorable!

….and then the doll grows up, and won’t wear cute clothes any more, and turns into a teenager, and learns how to smoke weed and drink wine coolers, and breaks curfew, and “loses” her cell phone at 2AM, and says she hates you… Anybody here have a teenage girl? Giuliana’s bobble head will explode.
Not all teenage girls are like that. I was a good kid, never drank or smoked and I especially didn’t sneak out. Everyone is different.
I rebelled in college which my parents thought was worse because they couldn’t control me. I want all boys because I feel like a lot of karma is coming my way. The way girls fight with their mom most of all is not something I look forward to.
Ditto…I was close to my Mom. I stil am. I am also close to my 13 year old daughter..we rarely fight. But I will say..she was my first daughter and I thought she would be a mini me and we would wear cute outfits, etc. WRONG! She is way more conservative and tomboyish and is not girlie at all. My second one is…but my point is not to have set expectations…and to respect who your child chooses to be. I embrace my daughter for her amazing heart and sense of self and tell her this all the time.
I also know of teenage boys who do the same thing…
I had to laugh at your comments, Belle. You sound like me! And I don’t have daughters, but yah, GR has no idea. Mind you, she’ll have staff to deal with that. That being said, I do like her, and watch their show sometimes. He is sexy – and a saint 🙂
More like her daughter raised in this superficial environment will start cut herself at 12, develop eating disorder before 15, and go to Betty Ford at 20. I can’t imagine her as a mother.
Oh God, that sounds like me between 13 and 16. Not necessarily the drinking etc. but there was yelling. I remember the yelling. There was nothing adorable about that time. *shudders*
HA, preach. I love my daughter, and she’s an awesome kid–smart, funny, independent.
But she’s definitely given me tons of gray hair through her teen years (and her dad, too). Even the “good” kids mess up and do stupid things from time to time.
Boys are probably tough in their own ways, but any woman who thinks a daughter will just be a little doll and never thinks past that to the sometimes very tumultuous teen years is a delusionoid.
They still make wine coolers?
I was going to say “put vodka in her water bottle” but I toned it down!
Hahahahahahaha so true
I don’t know, I’d say that I was and still am a fairly typical teenager. I go to school, I come home, do my homework, do my chores, and that’s about it. If anything my mom is always mad at me for being alone all the time. I think probably the worst thing I’ve ever done to my parents since becoming a teenager is rolling my eyes. I can’t remember the last time I got grounded.
Eh, but I don’t think Guliana would be ready for a girl. I can’t remember who said it on here, but it was a post from maybe earlier this year. This person said that all they saw her reality show, and she ate a tiny bowl of cereal with half skim milk and half water-and was constantly worrying about her weight. Not someone I would want to inflict a girl on.
I think I tried beer once in high school. Was overall a pretty good kid– maybe pulled a few stunts but did get caught for them.
He is so cute that Duke! So cute. I like Guiliana on her shows but was wondering if her unique look would translate to a beautiful baby. Look forward to seeing more pictures of him. Hope she defrosts those eggs soon!
I like her too. She is quite funny on Fashion Police. The baby is adorable.
And I can’t help but giggle when I hear how she pronounces Rancic.
No. It’s like having a person. Uch. I can’t stand this vapid waste of space.
Totally agree. She is so vapid and a total fame ho.
“It” would be like a doll to someone like her, that only has to deal with the baby at her convenience. I really hate when anyone treats a child like an accessory.
Vapid waste of space is so fitting for her. All she cares about are her looks and being skinny… I don’t even want to think about her poisoning her future daughter with all her f*cked up ideas about food and eating.
Can’t agree more. Who wants to have a daughter so you, the kid, and a doll can all dress alike? The “doll” comment also makes me wonder how much time she spends with her baby (rumored on other sites to be not much) . My baby (now toddler) girl is sweet and smart and wonderful, but has always been too willful and feisty to make a doll comparison at all appropriate.
Yes. I had to laugh when she claimed she was cleaning up with the baby on her hip. As if. Maybe she’s picked up a few coasters from a coffee table while holding the kid.
I agree completely. I can’t believe she’s a 38 year old woman. She sounds like she’s 12. I find her extremely annoying.
She looks like a bobble head doll.
With Octomoms eyes
that blue dress pic is seriously scary!!!
A praying mantis. Bitch needs to eat a burger or the whole cow. She’s gross skinny.
Ugh, I have no love for this woman, but lighten up, Shannon, you’re the one who sounds like a “gross bitch” with this comment.
Hahahahahaha this site is called celebitchy for a reason. Relax.
And we’re all commenting on the celebrity. Not the posters so calling me a “gross bitch” is outta line, boo. Take it easy.
Serious underbite and no jaw. Seriously homely this one.
I hate when women see their daughters as dress up dolls. Live dolls to “play with”.. I’m so grateful my mother never did that to me.
It made me more diverse and self assured.
(something nice)…I like her new haircut..
I also kind of don’t like that she said all of us women wanted the same thing.
Right. I NEVER wanted a daughter. I just knew I was put here to raise boys. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t trade my daughter for the world, but I surely wasn’t asking for one!
Ha! Samigirl you remind me of my aunt. She just had a girl, her fourth kid. She has been saying for years that she never, ever wanted a girl, because girls were sassy-because the kid would end up like her. She had three boys and now this new little girl. I giggle every time I come and see her.
If it was up to me, I’d only have girls. But that’s because boys drive me crazy.
Yes- I get the same feeling when people claim all little girls want to be princesses. No, they don’t.
Same here. As a kid, I insisted on wearing all my brother’s old hand-me-downs. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up so I think this suited my mother just fine. She did say that on the rare occasion (like Easter, Xmas) when she would try to get me into a dress I was a total horror though.
When I got older, my momz made a lot of my clothes. It was a lot of terrible matchy-matchy shit but I loved it. The ’80s ya know? 😉
Yes, she really is that vapid. I can’t stand her.
I’m a bit frightened for a thought of a daughter growing up in that house. G press so much pressure on herself to look and dress prefect, she’s withering away. A daughter would grow up under that pressure (even just watching her moms habits). Idk. People change. Hollywood kids seem to be messed up anyhow by late teens so I guess I shouldn’t be more concerned than the next kid.
Her son is adorable but yeah, she does seem superficial. You would think after her health issues that might have changed, but I guess some people just are who they are.
I am thinking her daughter will be a tomboy.
She is a flipping moron. Maybe she and Leanne Rimes play house with their dollies and talk about how great it would be…ugh. Can’t stand her.
Shes a tool
I when I had my daughter, I thought I’d be dressing her up all the time, but for six months she wore pjs almost all the time lol. It all comes down to what the baby is comfortable in
SHE LOOKS LIKE A PRAYING MANTIS I’M SORRY
Oh, for…. no wonder she’s friends with Rimes. Not one word about her son’s personality or that she relates well to little girls; it’s all about fashion and dressing her up. She made sure to put in how she dresses her son like her husband, too. This idiot doesn’t want to be a parent; she wants babies.
God, we all make funny comments that if put in print would look stupid. Bill is the father, so the kid (kids) will be okay. I think Guilliana was a tomboy when she was young, if remember right. Nothing wrong with loving to play dress-up with your daughter and enjoy the girly things with them as long as it isn’t an obssession. Most kids are just in play clothes running around anyway.
Serious question. How did this woman break out of the woodwork to get this high profile career; who is she related to in Hollywood? Her personality and interviewing skills are bland and she’s not a typical sexpot or classic beauty. I find it all perplexing. She may be a nice person for all I know, I just don’t understand how she climbed the ladder so rapidly. What did she do before all of this?
I don’t get it either.
I have two little girls and putting them in matching dresses is something that has fulfilled my life in the most ridiculous way.
Sisters in matching dresses/outfits are adorable!
I always thought it was dumb or too cutesy when people dressed their kids up in matching outfits, but now I sometimes do the same thing with my girls.
It’s not because I want to match them, I just love certain outfits so much and feel like I would be playing favorites if I bought a great outfit for only one of my girls! When I do this, I’ll usually either buy the same exact dress in 2 different colors or 2 different outfits in the same colors. On days when they’re wearing the same color scheme, it makes it easier to find them on the playground. And my kids love it when they’re dressed similarly.
Yep, same here. Matching for the boys and the girls and if I can find coordinating boy/girl outfits, it’s like the best rush in the world! lol Sad but true.
G has gotten so skinny…
She sounds like an idiot. But I will admit, I just LOVE getting outfits and pretty things for my little girl! My son is all about trucks and Legos and Star Wars, which I enjoy to an extent. But having a little princess around lets me express my inner girly girl. Of course my daughter isn’t a doll, she is smart, confident, bold and imaginative. I imagine her having a career and being an independent woman, like her mother and grandmother. But she can also wear the hell out of a fairy-princess-ballerina get up!
how did olive oyl become famous? it fascinates me
I wonder the same thing myself. Not sure how she got the big break into hosting. I know her sister is married to a producer. Not sure if her sister went to Hwood first and hooked her up or vice versa. Sorry but she is not likable and her looks are average at best. And she says imporDant instead of imporTant.
Ug.
As the mother of an 18 year old daughter, all I can do is shake my head at her. I hope she was being tongue in cheek, but I doubt it.
My daughter was a person, not a doll. She had her own ideas and opinions about things, and I think G will be shocked at how soon those opinions start, boys OR girls (Duke is right around the corner from strongly expressing his!).
something nice: I like her son’s name.
But SERIOUSLY, she is an idiot.
Well, you said something nice, lol.
You like her son’s name????
The Edward part or the Duke part??
I know that his first name is Edward, and I do like that name.
But they call him by his middle name of Duke and I just can’t get the association of Duke as a name for a dog out of my head.
Roll that beautiful bean footage.
I have a Boxer named Duke, so the name association is pretty strong for me as well!
When I hear Duke, the first thing I think is John Wayne.
Babies aren’t living dolls. Surely she realizes there’s more to being a mother?
Luckily little girls are more than dolls. They’re strong, opinionated, sassy, and have minds of their own. My daughter can be down and dirty on the soccer field and then get dressed up and fancy. That’s what makes girls awesome.
Children are not accessories.
This times a million! We use the same IVF clinic they started at and I can’t even begin to tell you the toll it takes and the strength women of all different personal backgrounds go to have a kid. It’s tedious and an expensive process and while I appreciate the subject is more public now that the rancics are open about it, it’s a painful and expensive process. Babies are blessings no matter how they come to be and to some an experience we may not have naturally. To make the point that you prefer one sex over another is disgusting. Dressing a kid up? That’s the exciting part? Really? You think she would have more sensitivity considering.
Agreed. She shouldn’t be boiling it down to something so superficial. I know she probably means no harm and sure, dressing up a little girl might be more fun than a little boy BUT children are not dolls and most will let you know pretty early on that they aren’t into being a prop.
Yeah, my little “doll” would prefer to wear shorts, t shirts and her light up tennis shoes all day. Sometimes I put those over the top hair bows on her to fancy it up, but kids have their own personalities. The idea of a little girl and her doll having matching outfits is cute (I’m sure American Girl is raking in the cash, their stuff is so expensive. Someone gave my daughter a doll on her FIRST birthday and it is collecting dust in her closet waiting until she hits Kindergarten age). The idea of a mom, daughter, and doll having matching outfits creeps me out a little.
I would do the matching thing if it pleased my little girl. Coming from the mother it is a little creepy.
Her son is so cute!!! I don’t think she was being superficial at all (though I do think she has superficial tendencies). I think a lot of women have that thought when it comes to having a little girl. Idk that saying she wanted a little girl so she could teach her to be smart, confident and an upstanding citizen of the world would of sounded as exciting to hear imo.
Bobblehead idiot.
I think anyone who was/is pregnant with a girl and had/has one always had the strange obsession with dressing them up until they were old enough to say no. I’m having a girl in literally 40 days and the amount of adorable outfits I bought for her are ridiculous.
I hear you. Shopping for a little girl brings on a high.
I think she living doll comment was just her being… Her. I cringe in a big way when young women say that, but she’s been through a lot. Considering that she’s in the midst of toddler-hood, she knows the loving work that goes into being a parent. I kinda wish she’d adopt before using a surrogate again, but I also don’t know what it’s like to long for my own children when I can’t have them myself. I stood with her putting her marriage first, if they aren’t happy the family isn’t happy. I know she’s a little vapid, she’s worked her butt off to get where she is and I find her harmless and largely inoffensive.
I feel sorry for any daughter she has. She will have that kid on a restricted diet as soon as it starts solid food
I seriously don’t know how her husband can stand touching that scary skinny body or kissing her fugly face!!! Not to mention how obnoxious she is!!! They need to just go away!
He’s not touching her.. ever 😉
I agree. Why don’t people accuse her husband of being gay? I get strong gay vibes off him, way more than other stars people accuse of being gay.
Sounds really immature.
Duke is so cute, and I’m sure she’s just kidding.
Look, it *is* more fun to dress a little girl than a boy. I just had a baby girl last year and several of my friends either had (or are about to have) little boys and they are all disappointed in some small way that they won’t have the fun of dressing a little girl. (Not that they don’t love their little boys, obviously). I think that’s what she’s getting at here. I love dressing my baby in stuff I personally would never wear. Gotta do it now before she rejects everything I do or say!
It is more fun. Dressing my daughter was great, there were so many beautiful outfits for her to wear. My son, it’s just not as fun. Love them both, but with her there were ribbons, floral prints, tutu’s, headbands etc. Even when I shop for a friend’s child, if it’s a girl I can’t make up my mind because of all the pretty outfits I find. If it’s a boy it goes much faster.
As for G, I think she means well but just tends to talk a bit too much, and I don’t think she realizes how she sounds sometimes. Duke is adorable, and they seem like really happy parents. Hope she gets the girl she wants. 🙂
Nice post. I agree.
(I went to the flagship store in Chicago by myself about 10 years ago. It was a different world.)
UH you should see it now, it moved out of its old location and into the water tower….its ridiculous, but I still love it all!
Really?!! I need to go back to chicago! My brother even had *some* fun when we went to the Flagship store.
What planet is she from? I followed their quest to have kids & I was thrilled when they did. Something happened to her during all that, she’s not the same. She needs to eat, her baby weighs more than her!
ITA!
love them.
I don’t find it offensive. My aunt had long wanted to have a baby girl (she has two sons), because she thought baby girls are cute and like dolls, and she loved to buy clothes for baby girls. She eventually adopted one — and guess what? She treats her as a person. This cousin of mine has been practically spoilt by her entire family since she came to their lives. Oh, and she just graduated from college with honor.
As a woman, you dream of having a little girl so you can wear the same outfits
What. No. That is incredibly stupid.
She is one weird lady.
I’ve seen her on Joan River’s show, and she seems fairly innocuous. (Maybe it’s in contrast to Joan’s insanity) But every time I hear a quote from her she sounds vapid and insane. Does her humor just not translate in print?
I think if the child is ok with it, then it’s harmless. As babies, I doubt they have much input into what they wear anyway.
But I think once the child is old enough to decide, it’s better to let the child wear what he/she wants (within reason obviously).
Thinking about Jolie and her little Shiloh–I think that’s the right move IMO. Let them be themselves, you know.
It’s so sad that this is not the first time I hear this kind stupidity. What is it with women? Wanting kids just so that they have alive doll? That’s just fckd up.
That woman does not need to have a girl. I can’t imagine all sorts of food and body issues she will instill in her little girl. I always thought Bill downgraded when he married her. He should have married that bachelorette, Jenn (Andrew Firestone’s ex).
hopefully she doesnt look like her..they will call her Princess,barf.
I bet her next goal is to become a journalist- you know, it’s like working for E news, but it’s a real job!
I hope her ‘doll’ turns out to be a butch lesbian. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it would just be awesome to see this hideous freak’s reaction someday.
Just sayin 🙂
Well, she’ll be in for a surprise.
I think she’s harmless. Ditzy but harmless.
American Girl was founded near Madison, Wisconsin, part of Pleasant Company. Their first big flagship store was in Chicago. Many tea times there with our niece.
As for the rest of this….I hope she was trying to be perky and not serious.
I’ve always been impressed with this woman’s “maturity.” Good luck with your baby doll.
Awful. Someone call CPS proactively.
I think she looks like a character from the movie Ants. And that hairline…whoa!
It is like a doll! That will eventually go through puberty!
