Arielle Kaplan

As we have previously noted, the royal baby arrived on May 6. While there was nothing Jewish about the big news, we at Kveller are thrilled for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Greta Gerwig, the 35-year-old magical, long-limbed fairy of an actress and the brilliant filmmaker behind Lady Bird, just had a baby with her boyfriend, 49-year-old… filmmaker Noah Baumbach. We came to know about this surprise when paparazzi caught a picture of the couple walking through New York with a stroller covered by a muslin blanket. This caused some observers to deduce that there was a baby in said stroller, and the baby was probably the progeny of the talented couple, and not, say,… >> Read More
