Well, well, it seems we were all wrong about the stroller-shopping picture. Katherine Heigl isn’t pregnant, no, but the possibility that the stroller was a gift for Ellen Pompeo seems far less likely now. During a live taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show (airing tomorrow), Katherine Heigl reveals that she and husband Josh Kelley are adopting a little girl from Korea.
The baby girl – named Naleigh, after Heigl’s mother (Nancy) and sister (Leigh) – will be ten months old at the end of September. As she told Ellen, “She was actually born the day before me in November, which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign. I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life.”
The news, while seemingly out of the deep blue, has been a long time in the making. Two years ago, Heigl told USA Today that she was “done with the whole idea of having [her] own children.” Adoption was a natural next step for the couple.
Adoption is a beautiful thing, and I’m sure I’m not alone in saying a big “congratulations!” to the parents-to-be.
Look for the interview on Ellen tomorrow.
