Dancing with the Stars contestant, Aiden Turner became emotional and teared up when telling RadarOnline.com’s Michelle Ward, “I can’t wait to go see - I get choked up - my wife is now a mother and it’s going to be her first. I haven't seen the baby in three weeks so I'm looking forward to it."

“The lesson I learned when I become a stepfather is you have to go to rehab first, because you can’t be screwed up and be a parent. If it weren’t for my first wife and being a stepfather to those kids I wouldn’t be alive today.”

90210's Jessica Lowndes credits her mother for keeping her "level headed and grounded" while Melrose Place beauty, Stephanie Jacobson almost forgot it was Mother’s Day altogether exclaiming, “I’m glad you reminded me!”
