  • Expresso May 2002 about Lucy's plans for a summer vacation in Greece

  • Woman's Day - 20 May 2002 - "Lucy's a Mum Again"

  • NZ Herald - 11 May 2002
    LUCY DELIVERS: It's been a big week for Lucy Lawless - not only has there been the birth of her third child but her first post-Xena movie has lit up the American box office. Well, kind of ... blink and you'll miss her, but Lawless makes a fleeting appearance as "punk rock girl" in director Sam Raimi's recordbusting Spider-Man. Lawless, in full goth makeup and wig, has just one line, gushing about the webbed one's coolness as he sets about busting New York's crims. Her appearance, we presume, has something to do with the friendship between former college buddies Raimi and Lawless' husband, Rob Tapert. Their first collaboration was on the horror classic The Evil Dead in 1983, and they're both partners in Renaissance Pictures, the parent company of Renaissance Pacific, the makers of Xena and Hercules.

    Xena star's new baby
    Lucy Lawless, former star of television blockbuster Xena: Warrior Princess, has given birth to a boy in Auckland. Judah Miro Tapert was born just before midnight on Tuesday in the home of Lawless, 34, and her producer-husband, Rob Tapert. The baby weighed a healthy 3850gm (8lbs 8oz). Lawless and Tapert, married since 1998, have another son, Julius Robert, 2, and Lawless has a daughter, Daisy Lawless, 13, from a previous marriage. Lawless appeared in the new-season premiere of The X-Files, and the comedy Just Shoot Me and makes a cameo appearance in the new Spider-Man movie.

    LOS ANGELES - Former "Xena: Warrior Princess" star Lucy Lawless is a mom again. The 34-year-old actress gave birth to Judah Miro Tapert on Tuesday at her home in New Zealand, according to publicist Leah Krantzler. The baby reportedly was in good health and weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces. He's the second child for Lawless and husband Robert G. Tapert, executive producer of the "Xena" television show, which went off the air last year. They also have a 2-year-old son, and Lawless has a 13-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. Lawless appeared for six seasons as the breastplated, sword-wielding warrior, whose adventures featured a mix of sex appeal, ancient mythology, campy humor and fighting action.
