The "Duke" has Landed!
It's Giuliana, Bill and Baby now! On Aug. 29, the couple welcomed their son Edward Duke Rancic, Bill tweeted the good news adding, "G & I feel blessed beyond words...We did it!" We cannot wait to get a look at the little guy!
Baby on the Way
After years of trying to conceive, the ecstatic couple announced exclusively to E! News that they have a baby on the way via gestational surrogate, due in late summer. Congrats, you two!
Going Under the Knife
On Dec. 5, the couple were guests on the Wendy Williams Show to discuss Giuliana's cancer battle. The 37-year-old star announced that she decided to undergo a double mastectomy and immediate reconstructive surgery. "I'll be able to say that I survived something major and it's made me stronger," she told E! News. "I will be a better woman for it."
The C-Word
The couple, seen here in a tender moment, found out that Giuliana was in the early stages of breast cancer during a mammogram while undergoing in vitro fertilization for the third time. She announced the news on the Today show on Oct. 17 this year, but had a very positive outlook. "I still want this baby...because this baby has saved my life," she said. "I truly feel God was looking out after me—if I had gotten pregnant later down the line, I could have been a lot sicker." Three days later, her hubby said, "She's a trouper, she pulled through it," after she underwent a double lumpectomy.
Oscar Ready
All glammed up for the Academy Awards telecast on Feb. 27, 2011 in Los Angeles, Giuliana looked fabulous in a Christian Siriano-designed strapless gown and elegant updo.
Happy New Year
Where to spend New Year's Eve? At Times Square in New York City, natch! The Rancics bundled up to cohost the Nivea Kiss Platform on Dec. 31, 2010.
Posh Rancic
For the Fashion Police Halloween special in 2010, the cohost dressed up as the spitting image of celeb stylist Rachel Zoe. We die!
Book 'Em
The couple that writes together, stays together? Bill and Giuliana cowrote the tome I Do, Now What?: Secrets, Stories, and Advice from a Madly-in-Love Couple, and signed copies with their dog, Paulie, at a Barnes & Noble in Los Angeles in Oct. 2010.
Family Matters
The couple reveal their struggles to conceive on their reality show. In March 2010, Giuliana became pregnant through in vitro fertilization, but tragically miscarried eight weeks later. A subsequent attempt at IVF in November 2010 was unsuccessful. Despite their turmoil, they weren't letting themselves get too down, turning up for the opening of a Sprinkles cupcake store in Chicago in July 2010.
Birthday Babe
Giuliana got her 35th birthday festivities started a few days early on Aug. 14, 2009 (her B-day is Aug. 17) at the MGM Grand with her hubby by her side. Mazel tov!
Reality Stars
Their new reality show, Giuliana & Bill—chronicling their married life in Los Angeles and Chicago—premiered on the Style Network in Oct. 2009. The couple promoted their series by hitting up Rocco DeSpirito's Bertolli bash at the Malibu Beach House.
Better Late Than Never
Five months after tying the knot, the newlyweds finally escaped to a very active Caribbean honeymoon, where they stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. Instead of lounging and relaxing, they went rock climbing, lifted weights and went on runs during their trip. "Strange, right?," Giuliana told OK! magazine. "We came home healthier and in better shape than when we arrived."
Husband and Wife
The E! News anchor dished to MyStyle, "Bill and I enjoy our first half hour of married life overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Those rocks behind us are one of the most famous landmarks in Capri." The couple had to postpone their honeymoon, however, because of work commitments.
"I Do"
Bill's childhood priest from his days growing up in Chicago made a special trip to Italy to marry the pair at the Santa Sophia Church.
Ciao, Italia
On Sept. 1, 2007, Bill and Italian-born Giuliana swapped vows in a traditional Catholic ceremony on the Italian island of Capri as 190 guests looked on. The bride wore a strapless beaded Monique Lhuillier gown while the groom donned a black tuxedo and white bow tie custom-tailored by Giuliana's dad, who's a tailor in Maryland.
They're Betrothed!
The couple became engaged in December 2006, when Bill popped the question during a romantic helicopter ride over Chicago. A limo had taken Giuliana from the airport straight to a helipad, where her man was waiting with her favorite pizza and a bottle of bubbly. Awww, how romantic!
How It All Began
Bill and Giuliana met when she interviewed the Celebrity Apprentice star for her show E! News. But he didn't have the nerve to ask her out until the final interview in 2006: "I was too chicken to ask her out on date so I asked her to go running sometime. She said, 'Yeah we can go running or we can have dinner and drinks.' I was instantly in love," he told Forbes.com.
