Speaking for the first time about her new love, the Leeds-born performer recalls how she fell for the man she calls "her best buddy" and talks about film producer Stephen's relationship with his three-year-old, Gisele. "When you see a man around his daughter and they're so hands on… it's just gorgeous," she says.

Looking radiant and trim, the singer describes how Stephen's proposal - two months after Angel's birth - took her by surprise. "I took one big, deep breath and said, 'Yes'," she recalls, "as well as going, 'Thank you, God! Don't let me down a third time'."

The famously feisty mother of two also reveals how she is putting the difficulties of her relationship with Angel's father behind her: "He gave me the best gift ever, which is a beautiful, healthy baby," she says. "How can I be mad at that?"

UNICEF Germany Pulls Ad Campaign Featuring White Children in "Blackface"

Below is the official response from UNICEF about the ads run in Germany:

"Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We agree -- these advertisements are not appropriate and run against UNICEF's mission. They have been dropped from the UNICEF German National Committee's website and there are no plans to use them in the future. We apologize for any offence caused.

As a UNICEF supporter, you may be interested to know a little more about the German National Committee's campaign to promote child-friendly schools in six African countries. Launched in late 2004, the campaign aims to raise awareness of the fact that nearly half of all children in Africa lack even primary education.

With funds from private donors, 350 schools have been repaired or newly constructed. In addition, several thousand teachers have been trained and school management improved. In total, around 100,000 children and young people have benefited from this campaign since 2004. The right to education for all children is a prerequisite to develop their full potential and a basis for social and economic development.

Again, we apologize for any offense caused."
