Baby Talk With Liza Huber
Forget Santa! This past Christmas, Liza Huber’s (Gwen, PASSIONS) best gift came from the stork. Weekly caught up with the beaming new mom just weeks after the Dec. 23 birth of her first child, Royce.
Soap Opera Weekly: How are you, hubby Liza Huber: We’re actually doing wonderfully. He’s such a good baby. He’s been very happy and sleeping. We’re very lucky so far. I go back [to work] April 2. To have over three months with Royce is a gift.
Weekly: Has Alex been able to take time off?
Huber: He usually travels a lot, but he’s been home for a month and won’t travel till the end of [January]. He’s such a wonderful father. Neither one of us has been around babies since our brothers were babies 26 years ago, and it’s nice that that innate instinct kicked in.
Weekly: Like your mom, Susan Lucci, who shares his birthday, Royce is a Christmas baby. That can be rough, gift-wise.
Huber: My mom always loved having her birthday at Christmas, because everything is so festive. He will never be given one gift for both. He’ll always have his birthday. It’s his day, the day he was meant to come. We’ll always make it special for him.
Weekly: Was your Big Apple family able to be in Los Angeles for the birth?
Huber: My parents, my grandmother and my brother were. It was so wonderful for my grandmother to be there. This is her great-grandson! That was very special. They’re still here spending time with him, which is nice, because it’s going to be hard being so far away.
Weekly: With all the new parents at PASSIONS, you’ve been well prepped. Is there any room for surprises?
Huber: There’s always room for surprises. No story is the same, but I have to say Lisa Martsolf, Eric‘s wife, has been the most wonderful, supportive friend. She has her hands full and then some with those two wonderful boys (twins Chase and Mason, born last April), but she’s always calling to check in and has such wonderful advice. She and Eric (Ethan) came to see us on Christmas Eve in the hospital. So did Lindsay and Justin [Hartley, Theresa and ex-Fox]. It was so much fun. It was such a wonderful Christmas!
