"We're Making People"

Christopher Rich and Wife Eva Ready Their Lives for Twins

By Laurie L. Dove

Pages:  1  2  3  4  5  

The soft colors of two oil paintings – a lily and a daisy – lend their impressionistic style to a quiet Los Angeles home. While this may not seem unusual, for Eva Halina and husband Christopher Rich, these are the most beautiful canvases in the world – until the real inspiration arrives, of course.

In just a few weeks the couple's twin girls, Lily and Daisy, will make their debut. Eva, a model/actress, and Chris, co-star of the WB's hit comedy Reba, admit this means making lots of final preparations before a whirlwind of events.

Still, Eva says, it has been important to spend time with an oil-and-canvas muse, one which inspired her to create a painting for each of her long-awaited babies.

Baby Times Two
While Eva and Chris were excited to begin their family, they weren't expecting to hit the jackpot.

"When the ultrasound showed twins, we nearly had a heart attack," says Polish-born Eva, through her telltale accent. "We got more than we bargained for!"

At 29 weeks, Eva is both ready to see her babies and determined to carry them as close to term as possible, but it's not an easy balance to strike. "I'm uncomfortable as we speak," she says. "I know they need more time before they are born, but I'm ready for them."

So is Chris. In fact, the couple planned the babies' arrivals to coincide with his yearly hiatus from the set of Reba, where he plays Brock Hart opposite Reba McIntyre.

Sitcom Dad
The hit show tackles matters of everyday life, including issues of divorce, teen pregnancy and single parenting. Chris' character is a dentist and father of three who fell for his assistant, left his soccer mom wife and helped send a once tight-knit family unit into disarray.

Chris, who grew up in Dallas, Texas, describes his character as a "typical Texan guy who loves football, flirting and the occasional beer." Although Hart loves his kids and has always provided for his family, he tends to exhibit "arrested adolescent development," Chris says.
