Las Vegas-born Vanessa Duran, 39, is a wardrobe stylist who has been married to her high school sweetheart, jewelry designer Peter Monette, since 2006. The couple lives just outside Austin, Texas, with their three children. Ms. Duran is in the final trimester of her pregnancy, carrying her fourth child.
