Jeff Gordon: I'm Married to 'An Amazing Wife and Mother' A daredevil on the racetrack, Jeff Gordon credits his wife, Ingrid, for being the rock in his family life. "She's an amazing wife and mother," Gordon, 37, told PEOPLE at Wednesday's Pepsi 500 Running Wide Open party in Hollywood, which he cohosted with Pharrell Williams. "You've got to have a wife that's very understanding. I'm lucky to have that." Gordon's model/actress wife, Ingrid Vandebosch, gave birth to their daughter, Ella Sofia Gordon, in June 2007. Gordon told reporters that the best part of fatherhood is "waking up every morning and seeing her look in your face. The love, there's nothing like it."
Michael Phelps Stays Mum on Romance Michael Phelps definitely isn't complaining about being considered an eligible bachelor. "It feels pretty cool," Phelps, 23, told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview at Walt Disney World's America's Homecoming Parade in Orlando on Friday. "I don't feel any different. I'm just having fun with this."
But when it comes to recent rumors linking him to Nicole Johnson, a former Miss California USA runner up, he's remaining coy. "I never said I have a girlfriend, and I never said I don't have a girlfriend," said Phelps. "My public and private life are separate. I keep my private life to myself." Johnson, who spoke to PEOPLE recently, wouldn't confirm a courtship but says, "we're good friends."
Ryan Cabrera: Ashlee Will Be a 'Great Mom' Ryan Cabrera rarely sees his former flame Ashlee Simpson these days, but he saw enough in their relationship that he doesn't doubt her parenting ability. "She'll be a great mom," the singer told PEOPLE Friday at the opening of Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant in Las Vegas. Cabrera, who dated Simpson in 2004 and was reportedly the subject of her song "Pieces of Me", said, "She's just a good person and she's dedicated to her family." Recently Simpson, 23, said she and husband Pete Wentz, 29, have been busy baby-proofing the house and getting a nursery together. None of this surprises Cabrera about the couple. "It's a good family. It will be a good home."
