Maksim looked typically handsome in a crisp black shirt paired with stonewash jeans and trainers - a wholly more casual look than his partner. 
In an interview with US Magazine, the couple spoke of what they didn't expect would happen once they became parents.
Maksim said: 'I'm kind of amazed at how these things quickly change, because we were both career people for so long. And our career is a bit selfish. I mean, not in a bad way, but it's always about you and about how you look, how you feel, because of the job requirements.'
Peta added: 'That's the thing that I didn't expect. thought before I would be like, "Oh my god, I can't wait to get back to work. You know, I just want to go and, you know, he'll be fine. No. I literally don't want to leave the house to go shopping. I miss him, I miss his face every time I close the door.'

Why you should keep stocked up on B vitamins if you live in a city: Scientists find they can offset the deadly damage from air pollution

City-dwellers should stock up on B vitamins, experts claim.
A new study suggests that the supplements may play a critical role in reducing the devastating impact of air pollution.
In a trial on humans, scientists found just small doses could offset the deadly damage caused by tiny, toxic particles.
Experts believe the findings could have a significant public health benefit in heavily polluted cities across the world.

The World Health Organization estimates that 92 per cent of the world's population currently live in areas where pollution exceeds safety guidelines.
Considered the most dangerous form, PM2.5 includes various toxins like sulfate and black carbon.
These can penetrate deep into the lungs or cardiovascular system as a result of breathing them in.



Previous research has shown there to be no 'safe' level for humans, and long-term exposure is known to reduce life expectancy.
It is believed that they cause health damaging epigenetic changes - mechanisms that can switch genes on and off.
And the new study, published in PNAS, shows that the tiny particles can switch off cells in the immune system, the BBC reports.  


The researchers, from Columbia and Harvard universities, used volunteers who were aged between 18 and 60 who were deemed medically healthy.
They were either given a placebo, or a supplement containing 2.5mg of folic acid, 50mg of B6 and 1mg of vitamin B12. 
Wearing a facemask, the patients were exposed to particles from a heavily trafficked street in Toronto. Blood samples were also taken.  
Study author Dr Jia Zhong, from Harvard University, said: 'The health effects of air pollution and how it plays a role in one's health raise many complex issues.
'Until we can attack the problem on an individual level we are a long way from fully tackling its challenges for the public's health.'
However, the scientists were keen to point out that further research is needed to validate the findings, especially in heavily polluted cities.  
Professor Andrea Baccarelli, of Columbia University, said: 'While emission control and regulation is the backbone of prevention, high exposures are, unfortunately, the rule still in many megacities throughout the world. 
'As individuals, we have limited options to protect ourselves against air pollution.' 



BREAKING NEWS: Bank of England deputy governor Charlotte Hogg QUITS after MPs brand her 'incompetent' for failing to declare potential conflict of interest

The Bank of England's deputy governor has dramatically resigned after MPs branded her 'incompetent' for failing to declare a potential conflict of interest.
 The influential Treasury Select Committee delivered a devastating verdict on Charlotte Hogg for breaching conduct rules in a report this morning.
It comes weeks after Ms Hogg apologised to the committee for not formally disclosing that her brother, Quintin, was Barclays' group strategy director, which could conflict with her work on the Prudential Regulation Committee (PRC).


The MPs said newly appointed Ms Hogg failed 'over a period of nearly four years to comply with the Code of Conduct, despite numerous procedural reminders and opportunities to do so'.
Ms Hogg had not declared the family link on a number of occasions since joining the Bank as chief operating officer in 2013.
But Ms Hogg, who has been touted as a possible successor to Bank governor Mark Carney, told the Treasury Committee at a hearing that she always declared areas of conflicts of interests and was compliant with all of the Bank's codes of conduct because she helped to write them.
It prompted committee member John Mann to demand she steps down, saying that Ms Hogg 'has either lied to Parliament or she is grossly incompetent'.


Theresa May is warned she faces 'war on two fronts' with Sturgeon and Brussels as Brexit Bill is set to be approved by the Queen

Theresa May has been warned she faces 'war on two fronts' with Nicola Sturgeon and the EU after the Scottish First Minister demanded a fresh independence referendum.
Former Foreign Secretary Lord Hague said Miss Sturgeon would exploit inevitable difficulties in Brexit negotiations to push the case for breaking up the UK.
Meanwhile, Brussels will use the need to appease Scotland to undermine the PM's attempts to drive a hard bargain.


The warning comes as the Brexit Bill officially enters the statute books, with the Queen due to grant Royal Assent later.
But although Mrs May is now formally authorised to trigger Article 50 and begin the Brexit process, she has put the moment off until the end of the month.
The premier will make a statement to MPs later in which she will furiously condemn Miss Sturgeon's bid to hold another independence vote.
The SNP leader insisted Scots deserved a ‘real choice’ over EU membership and threatened to throw a grenade into Brexit talks by holding the vote between autumn 2018 and spring 2019.
Mrs May responded by accuse her of ‘playing politics with the future of our country’.
The PM is set to stop short of refusing to allow a legally binding vote - which No10 fears would merely inflame nationalist sentiment.

But Mrs May will fight to ensure any second ballot is held after Britain has left the EU.
Lord Hague said nationalist forces in both Scotland and Northern Ireland - where Sinn Fein is threatening to collapse the powersharing deal - were now taking advantage of Brexit to mount a bid to 'pull the UK apart'.
'There can be no going back on the decision nevertheless taken by the British people as a whole to leave,' Lord Hague insisted.
'But the Government will now have to fight a war on two fronts, with each making an impact on the other.


Every time EU negotiators warn there might be no deal or complain of British intransigence, they will be adding grist to the mill of the Scottish nationalists.
'And with each demand for special treatment for Scotland, those nationalists will weaken the ability of UK ministers to maintain tough positions that will lead to the best deal for the whole of the United Kingdom.'
Lord Hague said Miss Sturgeon had identified the tumultuous period as we leave the EU as her 'one best hope of destroying the UK' and would use 'any argument to achieve her ends'.
In 2014, the SNP said the referendum was a ‘once in a generation’ chance. But Miss Sturgeon has been threatening a second referendum since last June when Scotland voted to remain in the EU.
Speaking at her official residence, Bute House in Edinburgh, the SNP leader said she would ask the Scottish Parliament to begin the legal process next week.
But, under the terms of Labour’s devolution deal, any referendum also has to be approved by MPs at Westminster. Downing Street was tight-lipped yesterday on exactly how Mrs May will respond.
The PM’s official spokesman said: ‘We have said there shouldn’t be a second referendum. But as for the issue, it hasn’t gone through the Scottish Parliament yet … We are waiting for the Scottish Parliament to reach a decision. But we are 100 per cent clear that we do not believe there should be a second independence referendum. They said at the time this would decide the issue for a generation.’
In a separate statement, a Government spokesman indicated Miss Sturgeon’s timetable was unacceptable, saying: ‘Another referendum would be divisive and cause huge economic uncertainty at the worst possible time.’
Miss Sturgeon yesterday accused Mrs May of failing to respect Scotland’s interests, by insisting that the UK must leave the single market as part of Brexit.
She claimed her appeals to the Prime Minister on the issue had been met with a ‘brick wall of intransigence’. ‘If Scotland can be ignored on an issue as important as our membership of the EU and the single market, then it is clear that our voice and our interests can be ignored at any time and on any issue,’ she added.
The First Minister said Scotland stood at a ‘hugely important crossroads’. She claimed leaving the EU would hit the economy and affect how ‘open, welcoming, diverse and fair’ the country was.
‘In short, it is not just our relationship with Europe that is at stake,’ she said. ‘What is at stake is the kind of country we will become.’




The 2014 referendum was held after David Cameron backed the SNP’s demand for a vote on independence.
On that occasion, the Government gave the Scottish Parliament a relatively free rein on the timing, the question asked and the electoral franchise, which was extended to include 16-year-olds.
But ministers are not expected to give Miss Sturgeon a blank cheque if she presses ahead with her threat to hold a second referendum.
Her proposal threw Labour into chaos, with Jeremy Corbyn being forced to abandon his position that a second vote would be ‘absolutely fine’, after intense pressure from senior figures in the party.

Off to a flying start! Astounding video shows 17-year-old high school student dancing in MID AIR in indoor skydiving contest (and there's already talk of taking the sport to the Olympics)

Dressed in a white skintight full body suit and helmet, Maja Kuczynska spins furiously before diving into a fast-moving sequence of airborne gymnastics.
At the age of 17, the Polish high school student is one of about 20 top indoor skydiving competitors worldwide, who are pioneering the solo freestyle version of a sport they call 'flying'.
A video posted on Facebook of the athlete's performance, choreographed to Major Lazer's hit song 'Powerful', has gone viral, gathering 30.5 million views in just over a month.

Although there are still just a handful of people worldwide competing at the top level in the solo freestyle category, there is already talk of the sport making it to the Olympics.
'Indoor skydiving is the only aerobatic sports discipline that meets the criteria for being an Olympic discipline,' claims Bartosz Wiecek, manager of the Fly Spot vertical wind tunnel in Warsaw.
She was only outdone by Singapore's 14-year-old indoor skydiving sensation Kyra Poh, who won gold in the freestyle category, and Czech competitor Jakub Harrer, who took silver, according to the Wind Games 2017 official website.
Several vertical wind tunnels have popped up in Poland. They can operate around the clock and are much cheaper and safer than skydiving out of a plane.
There is also no age limit.
Ms Kuczynska says that when she started six years ago, she was among a handful of indoor skydiving children around the globe including two girls in Singapore and 'a couple of siblings in Dubai'.

'But now, half of the flyers at least, at competitions for freestyle, are kids!' she said.
At just nine years old, Polish 'flying' competitor Olga Lubak will head to Montreal in Canada, along with Maja, in October for the World Indoor Skydiving Championships.
For now, Olga is spending hours in the wind tunnel to perfect her routine.
'I'm really stressed out because I'm afraid of being last but I don't think that will happen,' she said, before being swept up in the wind tunnel in another series of 'flying' twists, turns and spins.
