Ashley Jensen, who played Betty’s friend and confidante Christina on Ugly Betty, has given birth to a son.
(The Ugly Betty related baby boom continues.)
People Magazine reports Jensen and actor husband Terence Beesley welcomed son Francis Jonathan Beesley.  The boy already has a nickname:  "Frankie Jack".  That would really roll off Jensen’s Scottish tongue – what a great name!
Jensen and Beesley did not know the gender of the baby, and it wasn’t accidentally, it was on purpose. 
"We thought there are so few surprises left in the world," Jensen, 40, explained. "We wanted to be …read more

The baby pipeline that seems to run through the dressing rooms at Ugly Betty won’t be slowing down very soon, that is if Ana Ortiz has her way.  She tells OK magazine that she’s ready to have baby number two, just two months after having baby Paloma.
“The sooner the better,” she says.  “We’re definitely looking forward to having a playmate for her.”
She was recently at an event at NYC’s Double Tree Metropolitan Hotel, wheeling little Paloma around.  “I brought her out because I couldn’t get a babysitter,” she says.
Welcome to parenthood, Ana.    I can really relate to …read more

A representative for the actress tells People Magazine that she and her husband Terence Beesley are expecting their first child in the fall.
Speculation about Jensen’s pregnancy has been bouncing around the internet for a few weeks now (including some baby-bumpy photos).  We now have official confirmation!
As many have noted, this is a little bit of life imitating art, since Jensen’s Ugly Betty …read more

Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz tells hometown paper the Philadelphia Inquirer about her first week as a mama:
“This has been an amazing first week. She is so beautiful it is staggering”, she said, speaking of newborn daughter Paloma Louise Lebenzon.  (Hopefully we’ll have a picture soon!)
Ortiz tells a wonderful story about the generosity of co-star America Ferrera, her on-screen sister.  On Paloma’s birthday, once Ana, her husband Noah Lebenzon, and baby Paloma were alone, after all the friend and family had left she got a delivery to her room of three dozen freshly baked cookies and ice cold milk from …read more

A spokesperson for Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz says she and her husband Noah Lebenzon welcomed their baby girl on Saturday.

Ana recently told OK magazine that the first thing she’ll have to do with Paloma is introduce her to the family pets.  "I have to get the dog and the baby to know one another so that will be interesting," …read more

Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz is primed and ready for when she goes into labor.  Her baby, a girl, is due tomorrow.
Ortiz tells OK Magazine, “The bag is packed – mostly.  I need to get some toothbrushes.”
If she’s down to toothbrushes, I’d say Ana is just about ready.  Ortiz also talks about why she’s looking so buff, even at 9 months pregnant:
“Because they didn’t write [my pregnancy] into the show, it was kind of important to me to try to stay as much in shape as possible. It’s the first time I ever worked with a trainer because I didn’t …read more

Someone call Alison Dubois.  Apparently Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz has gotten “the gift” during her pregnancy.
"Before I found out I was having a girl I dreamt that I was having a girl," Ortiz, 38, told PEOPLE at the Point Honors gala in New York City. "I even dreamt what her name was, so I guess that name should be her real name."
If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s this: never, never ignore female intuition.  If I were Ana’s husband, Noah Lebenzon, I’d go with the flow and be glad that a name for his daughter came from the …read more

  Time absolutely flies, doesn’t it?  Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz will be having her baby in July, and that’s just around the corner!
So, it must be about time for the baby shower.  And guess who’s hosting it?  Not America Ferrera.  Not new mom Rebecca Romijn.  Not Meade Mom Judith Light.  Oh, no doubt they’ll be there.  But this shindig is going to be hosted by Ugly Betty costume designer Patricia Field.
“She told me, ‘I’m going to throw you a baby shower,’ and I started crying,” the 38-year-old recently told OK Magazine.
“That’s how the whole show is — very much a …read more

Here are a couple of pics of Ugly Betty’s Ana Ortiz at the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.  As you can tell, Ana is fully awash with that parental glow:

I just love this photo and Ana’s playfulness.  She’s absolutely gorgeous in white.  I honestly don’t know how comfortable she is in those shoes (I’ll guarantee you she won’t wear anything like that from the 7th month on).
I guess the timing just isn’t going to be right to include her pregnancy into the story line with Archie.  Ralph Macchio seems to have carved himself a place in the hearts of …read more

This should make for an interesting spring. Ana Ortiz recently spoke with Latina Magazine confirming her pregnancy. (Congratulations again, Ana!) She was asked if the pregnancy would be incorporated into the plot of Ugly Betty.
Ortiz says, “They aren’t going to be writing it into the show, so I guess Hilda will be carrying a lot of boxes and standing behind her salon chair.”
This surprises me somewhat, but I guess it shouldn’t. The story lines for the end of Ugly Betty season 3 are either already written or on storyboards, I would imagine. A Hilda …read more
