Madison LeCroy on her excitement over becoming a girl mom after giving birth

Madison LeCroy is a (southern) mom of two. The reality star, 34, who welcomed her second child, daughter Teddi, with husband Brett Randle on Sunday, June 29, opened up about becoming a girl mom for the first time. LeCroy also shares son, Hudson, 12, with her ex-husband, Josh Hughes. 8 Madison LeCroy poses with son Hudson and daughter Teddi. Madison LeCroy 'I would say, obviously, I've experienced the boy mom and it's a true thing, so I'm super excited to be a girl mom for the first time,' she exclusively told The Post on Wednesday, just three days after giving birth. 'Everything's pink and girly. I'm already just having such a blast,' LeCroy gushed. 'So I know it's just going to get better each day. I didn't think I was going to get both, to be honest. So I'm very lucky to be able to experience it.' 8 Madison LeCroy with her husband Brett before giving birth. Madison LeCroy Hudson, meanwhile, couldn't be happier to welcome a little sibling into their family. 'Honestly, at first I was a little worried he was going to be jealous,' LeCroy confessed. 'But, of course, he's just taken on the role where he's almost a little bit more protective than me already. So I am happy to see it. And I know he's going to be the best big brother ever. She's very lucky to have him.' Through it all, the 'Southern Charm' star has Randle, whom she tied the knot with in 2022, by her side. 'Not that he ever told me 'no' anyways, but he's definitely not told me 'no' in the past eight or nine months,' she shared. 'Anything I want or we need, he's on top of it. He's been being there for me and doing things without me even having to ask. I know I picked the right one when you end up expecting a child with them and you realize how it's going to be. I definitely feel like I hit the lottery with that.' 8 Brett Randle holds his newborn daughter. Madison LeCroy LeCroy underwent a C-section at 34 weeks, but despite going into labor early, she was ready to enter the hospital at any moment. 'I had full glam, so I made sure to have a blowout and I made sure to have light, fresh face of makeup, just for pictures' sake,' she recalled. 'I definitely think that for me, good hair and good makeup is all I can do for now.' LeCroy also touched on the best piece of motherhood advice she's received, and it came from someone very special to her: her late father Ted LeCroy, who died in 2023. 8 Madison LeCroy poses with her baby bump. Madison Lecroy/Instagram 'Just have grace for yourself,' LeCroy stated. 'Obviously, when it comes to your children, let them be individually who they are going to be and don't try to live through them too much. My dad would always say, 'Don't kill their spirit.' Whether that means they're a little unhinged or not just let them be who they're going to be. I'm definitely going to take that into consideration.' Fans can expect to see the former hairstylist step into her new role as mom-of-two on the next season of 'Southern Charm.' As for who from the cast was supportive throughout LeCroy's pregnancy, the influencer shouted out her close besties. 8 Madison LeCroy shows off her baby bump. Madison Lecroy/Instagram 'The girls have always been there for me,' she expressed. 'So I would say Venita [Aspen] has always been there. Rodrigo [Reyes] and Salley [Carson], of course. So everyone's been pretty, pretty great.' On Thursday, LeCroy opened up about her birth experience while talking to US Weekly. 'I was in labor for 48 hours basically [because] my water broke at home,' she recounted. 8 Madison LeCroy with her husband and son. Instagram LeCroy added that she began going into labor at 2:30 a.m. after being out at a concert for her mom's birthday. At the time, Randle, who is a firefighter, was at work in California. 'I ran upstairs, and I was like, 'Mom, I don't have anything packed,'' LeCroy said. 'It was funny 'cause me and her both were like in my closet trying to pick out what we were gonna wear to the hospital.' 'We kind of prolonged the labor, and Brett got here and then we waited another day and had the C-section, and there she was five minutes later.' 8 Madison LeCroy. Madison Lecroy/Instagram LeCroy had the perfect song for Teddi to make her entrance into the world. 'My doctor, she's amazing. And at this point she was, like, a friend, and we were sitting there talking and we were like, 'What [is[the playlist gonna be for this?'' she detailed. 'And we were joking around, we're like, 'Girl power, let's go Taylor Swift.' So we did, we rocked out to Taylor Swift during the surgery.' LeCroy elaborated, 'So that's what she was born to. Now don't ask me what song, because at that point I don't have no idea. But yeah, girl mode all the way.' 8 Madison LeCroy and Brett Randle. Madison LeCroy/Instagram Teddi — who is named after LeCroy's late father — ended up spending a 'few days' in the NICU due to 'protocol' for babies who are born early. 'She's a little. She's only five pounds, but she's breathing on her own and hasn't needed any oxygen or anything like that. She's kind of a little trooper,' LeCroy revealed. '[Doctors] were shocked with how early she was that she was gonna be this independent. So I was like, 'Oh, I wasn't shocked at all.''

Michael Madsen tributes: Virginia Madsen says late brother had a 'ferocious heart'

Michael Madsen may have been rough around the edges on the big screen, but he was a pure diamond to those who knew him best. The beloved actor, best known for his tough guy characters in films such as "Reservoir Dogs" and the "Kill Bill" movies, died on July 3 of cardiac arrest, manager Ron Smith confirmed to USA TODAY. He was 67. Madsen's sister, fellow actor Virginia Madsen, paid tribute to her late brother in a heartfelt post on Instagram, which featured a black-and-white throwback photo of the sibling pair alongside their mother Elaine Madsen. "My brother Michael has left the stage," Virginia, 63, wrote. "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother — etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark." In the 1990s, Virginia and Michael appeared together in the films "Blue Tiger" (1994), "The Florentine" (1999) and "Ballad of the Nightingale" (1999). "We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart," Virginia continued, "who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes — gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable — half legend, half lullaby." Virginia added that she will miss the "inside jokes" she shared with her elder sibling, as well as "the boy he was before the legend." "In time, we'll share how we plan to celebrate his life," she concluded. "But for now — we stay close, and let the silence say what words can't." Former costars Vivica A. Fox, Harvey Keitel remember 'poet' Michael Madsen Actress Vivica A. Fox, who costarred with Madsen in the films "Kill Bill Volume 1," "Kill Bill Volume 2" and "Garlic & Gunpowder," reflected on the "pleasure" of collaborating with Madsen in a statement to USA TODAY. "Michael was a talented man with an AMAZING onscreen presence!" Fox said. "My deepest condolences (and) prayers to his family." "Reservoir Dogs" star Harvey Keitel, who played Larry Dimmick opposite Madsen's Vic "Toothpick" Vega, reminisced on working with the actor on the 1992 Quentin Tarantino flick. "We've lost another great American poet," Keitel said in a statement to The New York Post. "I'll never forget one of the best scenes I've ever seen on film — of (Michael) and Chris Penn fighting in 'Reservoir Dogs.' A great love scene." James Woods, Robert Rodriguez pay tribute to 'larger than life' Michael Madsen Actor James Woods, who appeared alongside Madsen in the films "The Getaway" and "Straight Talk," mourned the actor's death in an emotional post on X. "Oh man, this is a hard one," Woods said. "I was always touched by his sweet nature and generosity, the absolute opposite of the 'tough guys' he portrayed so brilliantly. Rest in peace, dear friend." Director Robert Rodriguez fondly recalled his collaboration with Madsen on the 2005 film "Sin City," sharing that he allowed the actor to improvise dialogue on the comic book adaptation because of his writing prowess and comedic flair. "Michael was so larger than life," Rodriguez wrote in an X post. "We just felt he would make a much better partner to Bruce Willis' detective, I mean, what an ultimate cop team! And he was just an absolute joy to work with. I will miss you Michael, you truly are one of the greats." Billy Baldwin, more laud 'dynamite' Michael Madsen William "Billy" Baldwin, who worked with Madsen on films such as "The Broken Key," "2 Graves in the Desert" and "South of Hope Street," paid tribute to his former costar's charisma in an X post. "Fitting that Michael Madsen would pass away on 4th of July weekend," Baldwin reflected. "He was no firecracker… a total stick of dynamite on screen and in life." "Michael Madsen has departed," Titus Welliver wrote on X. "Mike leaves behind a body of work that will never be forgotten. Rest brother, too young." "Michael Madsen was a dream to work with," wrote Rob Schneider on X. Schneider worked with Madsen on an episode of his sitcom "Real Rob." "A truly gifted actor (and) gentleman who made every person on the set comfortable; generous with his stories (and) with his infectious laughter. I only wish we could have done more things together in this crazy business." Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY

Brazilian quarterfinalists Fluminense and Palmeiras benefit from Club World Cup's expanded field

Fresh off a dramatic overtime victory over Manchester City, Al Hilal heads into the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup against Fluminense, which also toppled a European heavyweight. The two teams meet Friday in Orlando, Florida. The tournament's other Brazilian quarterfinalist, Palmeiras, faces Chelsea later in the day in Philadelphia. On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain plays Bayern Munich in Atlanta and Real Madrid faces Borussia Dortmund at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. While Fluminense and Palmeiras aren't the biggest names in the quarterfinals, their presence represents the benefits that come from the tournament's expansion to 32 teams. Both clubs will make more than $13 million for reaching the quarterfinals — on top of what they've already collected so far. Then there's the global brand exposure and the chance to show Brazilian clubs can compete on a world stage where the European clubs typically dominate. Fluminense advanced with a 2-0 round of 16 victory over Inter Milan . Germán Cano scored in the opening minutes and Hercules sealed it with another in stoppage time. Fluminense even trolled their opponents with an Instagram post that featured the goals set to a song sung by rival AC Milan. Fluminense was pushed in its win by a pregame speech by 40-year-old leader Thiago Silva, who told an emotional story about how he wished he had visited his stepfather in the hospital during the 2014 World Cup. 'Don't leave for later what we can do now,' he told his teammates. While Fluminense has the passion, opponent Al Hilal has the determination. The Saudi Arabian club has not dropped a match in the tournament and steadily built toward the marathon 4-3 victory over Manchester City . While City was coming off a trying season, they were widely considered among the favorites in the field. Al Hilal, in contrast, was considered an underdog at this year's tournament despite reaching the finals of the 2022 Club World Cup in Morocco before losing to Real Madrid. Estevao's Swan Song Palmeiras' match against Chelsea could be teenager Estevao Willian's last with the club. Following the tournament, the talented winger is set to head to Europe. His new team? Chelsea. Estevao agreed to a deal with Chelsea last summer that moved him to Stamford Bridge once he turned 18. 'I have to focus here, I have to work, but it's not easy. The closer it gets, the more anxiety sets in. But I'm trying to focus here, to leave here well, knowing I did my best here,' he told reporters following Palmeiras' 1-0 victory over Botafogo to advance. Chelsea downed Benfica 4-1 in extra time in the round of 16. Dembélé dilemma? Paris Saint-Germain's top scorer this past season, Ousmane Dembélé, missed the group stage at the Club World Cup because of a sore quadriceps. He returned as a substitute in the final 28 minutes of PSG's round of 16 victory over Inter Miami. Joao Neves scored two goals in the 4-0 rout , which Miami coach Javier Mascherano called a 'bloodbath.' Dembélé's availability is raising questions about how coach Luis Enrique might approach lineup decisions for the quarterfinal clash against Bayern Munich. Dembélé has scored 33 goals this season across all competitions for the Champions League and Ligue 1 winners and is considered a favorite for the Ballon d'Or. Bayern Munich defeated Flamengo 4-2 to advance , with Harry Kane contributing a pair of goals. A star is born Real Madrid's success in the Club World Cup hasn't really been a surprise. After all, they've won the tournament five times since 2014. But what's been surprising is Gonzalo Garcia. The 21-year-old forward has been one of the breakout stars of the tournament with three goals — including the lone goal in Real Madrid's 1-0 round of 16 victory over Juventus. 'When I'm in the box, I don't care what I shoot with: my head, left foot, right foot, my knees, whatever. I just want to score,' he told reporters following the match. Garcia, an academy product, has helped the team in the absence of star Kylian Mbappé, who missed the group stage because of illness and was a sub in the 68th minute against Juventus. Borussia Dortmund eliminated Monterrey 2-1 in the Round of 16 on Serhou Guirassy's two first-half goals. Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham is suspended from the match because of yellow card accumulation, meaning he won't face brother Jude, who plays for Real Madrid, in the quarterfinal. ___ AP soccer:
