TASTY COUPLE: BROOKE BURKE & DAVID CHARVET
1. Lots of congratulations are in order! You guys have a beautiful 1-year-old girl, Heaven, and you're expecting another baby in a few months ... and Brooke, you have 2 other kids! Are you trying to start your own softball team?! Tell us what it's like to have such a big, glorious brood.
Brooke: I always wanted to have a big family. My older girls are in love with their baby sister and we are anxiously awaiting our fourth.
2. Ok, we'll say it: Brooke, if you weren't so darn NICE, we'd probably hate you. What do you do to look so great after 3 pregnancies and in the middle of a 4th one? David, we know your in "Baywatch" shape yourself, but are you in awe of this woman?
David: Yes I am always amazed how Brooke stays in great shape after all these babies. I’m sure she will share with you her secrets.
Brooke: I have always maintained a healthy lifestyle. I worked out during all of my pregnancies. I am a big believer in keeping your growing, stretching, pregnant body well lubricated with oils. I also used a belly wrap after birth which is an age-old philosophy that totally works. I have recently launched a website called Babooshbaby.com which shares many of my motherly tips that I have discovered along my journey. You can learn more about “TAUTS”, the belly wrap and find my organic belly oil there.
3. David, you were born in France. Do you cook delicious, rich French food? What's your favorite kind of meal to enjoy together? What to you order when you're celebrating?
David: I actually love to cook at home. I was an assistant chef at Bambu restaurant here in Malibu, many years ago! I love to cook Italian and French. Brooke and I enjoy fish, pasta, steaks and great salads.
4. Brooke, you'd probably be the world's greatest travel agent, after hosting E!'s "Wild On" series. How do you cope with so much travel?
I always tried to keep it healthy and of course experiment with many local dishes as well. I love Mediterranean food like fresh fish, veggies, and salad.
5. You're both music lovers. Brooke, you hosted "Rock Star," and David, your debut album is a big hit in your native France! Tell us about your love of music and how you incorporate this into your family life. Is your daughter musical? Do you ever sing to the baby you're expecting?
David: We love music in our family. Rain has been listening to music since she was in her mom's stomach. We actually wrote a song for her and recorded it! It is now her bed time music, and it really works.
6. David, we are so impressed with how you've been a role model to youngsters. You don't use alcohol, drugs or cigarettes and you often speak to youths about the dangers of substance abuse.
David: Thank you!
7. In what ways do you incorporate environmentally-sensitive practices into your family's life? How do you teach your kids about recycling & not being wasteful?
Brooke: We do recycle. My children know to respect our environment and fortunately it is a big topic on school these days. They have recently passed a “no waste” rule and asked all mommies to pack reusable containers for lunch. The less trash, the better. We also try not to order bottled water in restaurants.
8. What keeps each of you up at night (besides the baby, of course)?! Are you worriers?
Brooke: I need all the sleep I can get, and fortunately, Rain sleeps through the night most of the time. I don’t believe in wasting time worrying. Life always has its stressful aspects, I just try to deal with it the best I can.
