Giuliana and Bill Rancic welcomed a son, Duke, by gestational carrier just about a year ago. The two chronicled their journey with infertility, and Giuliana’s subsequent breast cancer diagnosis, on their reality show on The Style Network. The Rancics have been open about the fact that they want another child, and they’ve been open about the place that child will have in their family. Giuliana has said that she puts her marriage before her baby, claiming that it sets an example. She also recently said that she wants a second child, a girl, because “As a woman, you dream of having a little girl so you can wear the same outfits. It’s like having a doll – but it’s a real person!” Maybe Giuliana was just joking around, but it sounded like a very superficial explanation for wanting another child. Whatever their motivation, a second baby could be happening for the Rancics. Bill recently told Life & Style that the woman who gave birth to their son, Duke, is on board to have another baby for them. They’re using a ‘gestational carrier,’ which means that the child is biologically Giuliana and Bills and that another woman is carrying it for them.
After celebrating Duke’s birthday on Aug. 29, Bill and Giuliana Rancic are ready for their second baby. “We’ve got everything in place,” Bill, 42, confirms in the new issue of Life & Style.
But what’s even more exciting: “We’ve got our [gestational] carrier, who carried Duke — she’s on board! Having a brother or sister in the house is definitely in the future for Duke,” the couple gush to the mag.
Bill confides that they’re also willing to try on their own, once Giuliana, 39, is off of her cancer-fighting medications in five years.
“Of course, we’d try for a baby on our own,” he adds. “That’s something Giuliana would love.”
The proud father of Duke went on to say, “It doesn’t matter how you get your little baby. When you’re holding the baby in your arms and you see their smile, it doesn’t matter.”
Check out the couple on Giuliana & Bill, airing Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Style.

I hope it happens again for them. Giuliana and Bill adore Duke and recently had an over the top first birthday party for him, complete with a petting zoo, a mechanical bull and horses. Giuliana explained “We wanted to make sure he would look back on this in awe.” When people have a reality show, it’s hard for me not to be skeptical of their motivations. Did they have a huge birthday party for Duke as some kind of plot for their show, or did they do it because they thought it would be fun? Maybe they don’t even know. That’s the problem with reality shows.

Oh yay, G, a new bag just in time for summer beach photo ops!
Bag, baby, whatever.
Exactly! There’s something wrong with this stick insect. Every time she opens her mouth, something vapid comes out. She’s SO superficial.
+1
Exactly! I guess the first prop is becoming too old or the ratings weren’t high enough on the first birthday party episode. All we can hope for is that both children have a loving nanny to care for them when the cameras are gone for the day.
I feel bad for the heatlth problems she had, but something about this woman just gets under my skin. She seems so superficial and selfish to me.
+1 she just irritates me. I think part of it is her face.
+ 2.. I’ve tried to like her but something’s off.
She needs to eat
I feel the same way. I think it is because she is bland, boring and has the personality of a cardboard cut-out and I still can’t figure out why or how she ended up on TV. Additionally, I always read her last name as “Rancid”.
+3 She just…bugs me. Although I think she looks so much better now that she has shorter hair.
+4 I just cannot abide this woman! She gets on my damn last nerves!!
+1 Ditto! Feels like it’s all about the image, not the true desire.
YUP! x1000
She is awful. Not so good on the E channel. Why does she and Terrance have those positions? Jason Kennedy and Catt Sadler are so much better!!
Bill seems decent but she has become a real famewhore.
Well, this is really good news for… Bill.
Poor kid w/2 famewhore parents.
I have probably written this before but this woman has the weirdest shaped head. and of course the ‘carrier’ is on board…it’s a payday for her
I don’t want to sound insensitive, but is she anorexic or has some eating disorder? I’ve seen her on E! a few times and her face looks weird, like it’s only eyes and mouth.
I’m not sure she has an eating disorder, but a while back she released her eating/workout regimen and it was absurd. For instance, “cheating” for her is a bite of pasta. A BITE. Something is definitely wrong with her eating habits.
I know she’s had health issues but she looks scary skinny to me. In a recent episode she was hosting the Miss America pageant and had on a blue strapless gown. When she runs to do a dress change you can see her back bones protruding. She would look so much better and healthier if she would put on some weight.
She claims that she has to be that tiny for her career on E! but I’ve long thought that she is justifying an ED
Did you see the blind item about her eating cotton balls soaked in juice? Definitely anorexic! Her health issues are a result of her being unwilling to eat. Major problems inside that bobble head.
He’s either a fool or a liar saying she would “love to have a baby.” That bag of bones is never going to get pregnant when she can get a kid this way!
Yea she released her a sample of her diet and it shouted extreme to me. And her refusal to gain 10 lbs to try to conceive (she gained 5) is another sign. You want a baby so bad but you won’t gain another 5 lbs to see if that will help?
She wants another child to put on a list behind her ‘marriage’? My guess is Bill wants more kids. She too concerned about herself. She’s so superficial, I can’t watch anything she’s on anymore.
She’s got major issues with food. Adam Carolla once complimented her on gaining a few pounds because he thought she’d been too skinny before, and that she looked better this way… and she said that she took it as a wakeup call that she needed to lose weight. And she was visibly upset about having to gain weight to even try to conceive. She doesn’t have anything that phyaically keeps her from gaining weight other than her extreme lack of food. Her weight issues are what kept her from carrying a pregnancy to term.
Also, they’ll try again in 5 years? When she’s 44? Sure.
Wow she’s very skinny isn’t she? The short hair makes her look even more like a bobble-head in my opinion..
I am sorry, but imo, there is something very fake about this couple. I am not a fan and maybe that makes me a bad person, but they give me a very creepy, insincere vibe.
She looks like that Bengal cheerleader Sarah Jones & Farrah Abraham! Bobblehead became so annoying with such an odd looking head and veneers that are too huge for her mouth. Skeletor needs a cheeseburger pronto. Sorry celebitches for being mean I haven’t had my caffeine fix yet rawr!
I like Giulianna. I thought her doll comment was a joke, that’s her sense of humour.
Duke’s such a happy little boy. When I see happy children I think it speaks volumes about the parents.
This. It’s sort of disappointing to read so many comments from people who don’t like her because of her face, body etc. So many other valid reasons not to like her.
But she does seem like a devoted mom and I think half of the bat-shit stuff she does on her show (like aforementioned 1st birthday party) is because they need something for the cameras.
I can’t imagine she wants another kid simply on the off-chance she has a girl and can dress her up in cute clothes. (Although that is one of the advantages of having a little girl — at least until she pukes on said cute outfits.)
I don’t know…every picture I’ve seen of her with the baby she seems so stiff and awkward, like she is showing off for the cameras by looking like the doting little mother who actually doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing.
Word.
On point about the humour! Hope it turns out great for them.
Well, I can’t help but still like her even if she does look like a muppet.
She barely does anything with the baby she has now. Bill does everything, when she is near her baby or tries to hold him – it looks odd and she is obviously uncomfortable with doing anything for the kid.
I heard they were changing their last name to Kardashian, since they seem to be doing everything in their power to be the next K family. Freebies, fame and money galore.
Gee lets bring another baby into that mix!
And yes she has an eating disorder, it’s obvious and if you ever read her blog/articles or heard her talk about what she eats, how she eats etc it’s much much more than eating healthy. And Bill should be ashamed for not stepping in and trying to help.
I agree with you. She holds the baby like someone who never handles them. And the only reason I think they use a surrogate is she refuses to gain enough weight to conceive.
Whenever I see her I always think of ET. She is very weird looking somehow … maybe it is to do with very bad eating habits. I’ve read that she pretty well doesn’t eat at all and that when the cameras aren’t on she has little interest in her child. That comment about a girl child handbag seem to fit with that. Who knows what is really true though.
There is something about this woman that just reeks of artifice for me. I’m happy she is healthy and got through her illness and hope that everything works out the way they want in terms of the new baby, but everything about this couple, especially her, seems fake and based on what will be a good storyline on their “reality” show.
It must be nice to be able to afford to buy anything you want, including babies. I will just say it — I think she is ugly and has no talent.
This is a non-story. Make a statement when your baby carrier is a few months along. This people need to be in the news constantly. I like her old “look” better. I don’t care for the harsh brown makeup, angled bob and chiffon button downs. Just not flattering on her.
Don’t care about her much one way or the other…but that pony! With the bandana and hat…cute!!!
I believe her physician told her to gain 10-15 pounds and she probably can get pregnant. The invitro worked i believe once but she miscarried. However, she refused due to her need to fit sample sized clothing. She is severely underweight for her height. When she started working for E Network she was a great size and was prettier then. Therefore, she chose the easy way to have a child instead of gaining weight that would barely show up on her.
Yeah, for this and many other reasons– I’m not a fan of hers. I think there’s nothing more to her than superficiality. It’s not cute.
The family was at RPM Saturday night in Chicao according to my friend who was having dinner there. I would love to see them in person but the wait for reservations is insane. Well, I just want to see Duke, he’s my sons age.
I think it is wonderful when folks want their children so badly that they plan and do whatever they can to have them . . . I remember their reality show in the beginning, before she got sick, when they were just trying for baby, and it really seemed to me that she truly wanted a baby with her husband, and was heartbroken when it didn’t work for them. I don’t know. I think you can be famewhore-ish AND want your children.
It is a dream I had, being super rich AND having kids, wow!
The picture with the horse/pony is weird. She’s looking at the camera while Bill looks like a dad. The picture could have been really cute if she was actually paying attention to the kid. I agree with people who say she looks awkward when she handles her son. Most celebrities know how to produce a public picture that depicts them as a loving parent.
Her hair loss is frightening. It’s a sign of malnutrition from starving/purging. If that’s what it does to her hair, can you imagine what it’s doing to her bones and organs?
I don’t understand how her so-called “loved ones” don’t insist getting her help. Sure, it’s hard to MAKE an adult do something they don’t want to, but for Christ’s sake, can’t they even TRY?! Don’t they care AT ALL?
Maybe they have tried, but without success?
I do think that she has an eating disorder, but I think that her hairline is genetic. Possibly exacerbated by her ED. Her family members, especially her brother(s?) have similar features and hairlines.
I kind of feel sorry for her, actually. She seems awkward in general, which is going to make her an awkward mother. Perhaps having your life revolve around Hollywood and its lies/fake imagery has made it so that she doesn’t even know what she wants or how she really feels. The only thing she can control in her life is how much food she puts in her mouth, until she’s on death’s door and she gets it shoved in her stomach via her nose.
Also–I loathe the word “carrier”.
She is kinda scary looking. Way too thin.
I. can’t. stand. her. She’s so desperate to be a celebrity. Bill is gay.
Carrier?
How dehumanizing.
She has always reminded me of the character Princess Bala from Antz – the Pixar film. Maybe it is her ‘thinspiration.’
I think she is alarmingly thin. I wondered if it’s the cancer medicine she is on. [along with not eating properly] I have noticed that Bill seems to be the more involved parent, too. Who knows with these shows. Reality isn’t exactly part of their world, is it.
