Reality Check

When I was in elementary school I told my friends that the Hanson brothers were my cousins. The foolish children believed me. If they were smart they would have realized that our last names are spelled differently. Anyway...I saw this headline on my People.com box on my google homepage (that's right I have a people.com box and an E!.com box) and it made me reflect on those days when lying came so naturally to me. Now I can't tell a lie to save my life. Why? I miss those days.

Here's my question: Would we call him a rocker? (see second sentence)

Zac Hanson, Wife Expecting Baby No. 2

There’s another Hanson baby on the way!

Zac Hanson and his wife Kate are expecting their second child, and the rocker couldn’t be more thrilled, he tells PEOPLE.

“I am so excited about the new addition to our growing family and for the stories and inspiration this person will bring to the world,” says the drummer, 24 — one-third of the trio Hanson — who just released their latest album, Shout It Out.

“Life is so short,” he adds, “And there is nothing better than getting to share life with our children.”

The new arrival will join older brother John Ira Shepherd, 2, plus a clan of cousins: Zac’s brother Taylor has four kids with his wife Natalie — Ezra, 7½, Penelope, 5, River, 3½, and Viggo, 18 months — and brother Isaac and his wife Nikki have two sons — Everett, 3, and Monroe, 2.

In addition to a built-in playgroup, the new baby is also likely to have an early shot at stardom — two of the younger Hansons, Ezra and Penelope, appeared in the band’s new hit video for their single “Thinking ‘Bout Something.”
