“I had Ashton when I was 32 years old and now I am pregnant at 43. I definitely feel the fatigue and backaches more.”
To help with this, Stella has been watching her health by eating nutritiously and exercising by going for walks and swims regularly.
“I want to have sufficient energy to keep up with my boys. They’re going to be 12 years apart! Both ‘dragon’ boys! How adorable and cool!” she told us enthusiastically.
2024 will be the year of the dragon.
In preparation for the baby, Stella has been praying for his healthy development, talking to him in her belly and listening to “happy music”.
The family has also fussed over her with every chance they could and they will set up the baby’s room in their sun room.
“We want to give him all the positive energy in the world,” shared Stella.
Ashton excited to meet new sibling
Ashton is “over the moon” about his new sibling.
“He’s been a single child for 11 years and there’s nothing happier than having a little brother to play with,” said Stella.
“He wants to be as hands-on as he can and he’s looking forward to helping feed the baby, lullaby-singing and diaper-changing duties.”

On April 15, she announced in an Instagram post that Ashton has moved to Tokyo to live with his father for the next few years and would be attending an international school there.
She wrote: “As much as it rips my heart to be away from him, I am happy that he gets to spend time with his dad. For 10 years, I have had the most precious gift of time with him.
“I hope I have raised him with integrity, honesty and most of all, to be a kind, gracious person. Ashton, wherever you are, you will always have my unconditional love and support, near or far, I will always be here for you.”
