Re-posting from the German news thread:

I just read that Peter Liebers' son was born on Friday. His name is Emil. Congratulations to the proud parents!

Here's a link to a short article in German. It just states when the baby was born, and that Liebers has to leave Monday to attend a four week long training camp.

Google translation:

Mannheim (dpa) - The Berlin figure skater Peter Liebers has become a father. His son Emil was born last Friday [May 1, 2015] in Mannheim, the proud father said on Sunday. The five-time German champion and eighth the Olympics 2014 is married to the former figure skater Denise Zimmermann. Plenty of time for the young at first did not Liebers. On Monday the 27-year-old sports soldier for four weeks must indent the course in the army barracks.

Pair skater Hao ZHANG is a father - his son was born earlier today (May 9): https://twitter.com/ifsmagazine/status/597202705648623616

This one is still a rumor and was not confirmed by Totmianina and Yagudin that they are expecting second child together

I don't believe there was a public announcement, but reportedly Rena Inoue and John Baldwin became proud parents of a baby girl in early November of 2011.

The flower girl [at Tiffany Vise and Don Baldwin's 8/23/15 wedding] was Inoue and John Baldwin's 4-year-old daughter, Lilliana.
...
Vise mentioned that Inoue and Baldwin, who married quietly after a very public on-ice proposal at the 2008 U.S. Championships, are expecting their second child, another girl."

Yes, and the baby will be Scorpio like her big sister.
Cute photos and video about the photo session in Hello magazine.Speaking about the glow of the expecting moms,Tania Totminaina definitely has it.

Her son looks just like her.

I couldn't help but look at the picture of the couple on the side of that article with the woman with the most enormous .......

Robin Szolkowy and his wife welcomed a baby boy named Henry

 

[Stephanatic]

Congratulations to Robin and his wife. I'm sure little Henry will bring them much joy, which Robin certainly deserves after all he endured during and after the last Olympic cycle. Would love to see a picture of the proud father with his baby son if anyone has access to one. I don't think Robin is doing much on social media these days?

You can see a picture of Henry and Robin's fingers on Robin's FB wall

Any word as to Alexie & Tatiana have had their second yet? I thought she was due in November but some reports are that she was born early in October?

 

[Stefanie]

Does anyone know if Oksana Baiul had a baby? I just started following her on Instagram (i.e., yesterday) and I was browsing her photos and it looks like she was holding her stomach in some of the pictures and people were commenting "Congratulations," etc. And those pictures were from awhile ago so I would think the baby would have been born by now...but there's no mention of it.

She was born at the end of October.The happy parents named her Michele

[PetraP]

Michele was born on October 2.

What a pretty name. Happy wishes to Tatiana & Alexie on the new member of their family.

I am friends with her on Facebook and she never confirmed or denied anything as far as I could see. If she did have a baby, she's keeping him/her in her private life like Adele did after her son was born. No announcement. No photos.

http://www.woman.ru/kids/newborns/article/155116/?startLeaflet=2#1

That's an unusual name for a Russian baby. I wonder if they named her after Michelle Kwan?

 

[MsZem]

Nathalie Pechalat and Jean Dujardin are reportedly the parents of a baby girl, born last night.

Thanks! Another article is posted in the French news thread in GSD:
