TAKE That pals Gary Barlow and Mark Owen enjoy a stroll with their pregnant partners Dawn Andrews and Emma Ferguson.
And on a trip to the shops in LA, the guys proved they were gentlemen - by carrying the bags.
Beefed-up Gary's wife Dawn, wearing a blue dress and cardigan and sporting a white crop, is pregnant with their third child.
The new arrival is due to join Daniel, seven, and Emily, six, in the New Year.
But Mark and fiancee Emma Ferguson - looking relaxed in a white hippy dress - are due to beat them to the drop with their baby due in December.
They have a one-year-old son, Elwood.
Gary met up with Mark after he went looking for a new car and checked out a Porsche.
The mums-to-be looked in full bloom and relaxed as the foursome strolled along. But the guys had to really show a little Patience as the women dragged them around the designer shops.
Their bandmate Howard Donald has two daughters, Grace, nine, and three-year-old Lola.
That leaves only Jason Orange from the reunited line-up who hasn't yet settled into fatherhood.
With hits such as Pray and Back For Good, the singers have been top of the pops repeatedly down the years.
Nice to see Gary and Mark are top of the "pops" too.
Looks like they are looking forward to a nappy new year.

TAKE THAT are entering the final stages of work on the follow-up to 2006 album Beautiful World.
The lads have jetted to Los Angeles to master the disc — and it has turned into a real family outing.
GARY BARLOW and MARK OWEN have taken their very pregnant partners with them.
While Mrs Barlow Dawn Andrews and Mark’s fiancee Emma Ferguson took their bumps on a tour of Santa Monica boutiques, the lads enjoyed their break from the studio by popping into the local Porsche dealership.
They must have high hopes for that album.
