Baby, oh baby! Who doesn’t love to hear that a precious bundle of joy is on the way to make the world a little brighter? It’s undeniably life-affirming, and celebrity pregnancy announcements are especially fun because we all get to follow along. Plus, we all feel invested in our favorite Hollywood couples — it’s only natural that we celebrate their baby news right along with them. And since so many celebrities choose to share their pregnancy news with fans, we all get to gush over memorable pregnancy announcement moments pretty frequently.
Some stars have basically captured the zeitgeist of current pop culture (Beyoncé’s floral, veiled revelation about her pregnancy with twins Rumi and Sir springs to mind). A lot of stars choose to share videos announcing their pregnancies, sometimes far enough in to have the video double as a gender reveal — Kate Hudson finding out she was finally having a little girl could put a smile on anyone’s face. Many celebrities choose to go with funny reveals, like Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert. The Bachelor Nation alums shared the big news in May 2020 that they’re expecting their third child together with a funny Instagram photo.
So, join us in going (goo-goo and) gaga over some of the best, funniest, sweetest and downright cutest celebrity pregnancy announcements.
Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom
Let’s just say it’s gonna be a jam packed summer… 🎶♥️🙂 #NeverWornWhite is out now
A post shared by KATY PERRY (@katyperry) on Mar 4, 2020 at 9:02pm PST
Katy Perry took fans by surprise when she unveiled her pregnancy in the March 2020 music video for “Never Worn White.” She confirmed the news in a follow-up Instagram Live, revealing of her pregnancy cravings that she “literally never cared for spice and now I have to carry Tabasco sauce in my purse.”
Beyonce & Jay-Z
We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters
A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on Feb 1, 2017 at 10:39am PST
In what is arguably the most iconic celebrity pregnancy announcement ever, Beyoncé made a major statement with a chic photo shoot in 2017 to tell fans she was expecting twins with husband Jay-Z.
Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson
This little baby girl will make us a family of five. We couldn’t be happier to announce this precious blessing of life.
A post shared by Jessica Simpson (@jessicasimpson) on Sep 18, 2018 at 7:16am PDT
Jessica Simpson recruited kids Maxwell and Ace in 2018 to help her reveal not only that she was expecting a third child but also that the child would be a little girl!
Danielle Fishel & Jensen Karp
I’m eating for two. I’m napping with wild abandon. Baby shoes. Baby clothes. (I’m shopping). I’m nesting. I’m reading books. I’m madly in love with my husband. I cry at commercials. I’m a walking cliché. I’ve got baby apps. I’m confident. I feel inadequate. I’m showing one day and the next I’m not. I’m nervous. I’m excited. He’s due in July. We can’t wait. #BabyKarp2019
A post shared by Danielle Fishel Karp (@daniellefishel) on Jan 2, 2019 at 8:32am PST
When Girl Meets World star Danielle Fishel broke the news in 2019 that she and husband Jensen Karp were expecting their first child together, she pulled in some precious props: two pairs of adult sneaks and one tiny scene-stealing pair of baby Nikes.

Heyyyy how did this happen?!🤷🏽♀️. Curry party of 5. Feeling very blessed… and very sick. Yippie! #curryfor3 😍🤰🏽
A post shared by Ayesha Curry (@ayeshacurry) on Feb 2, 2018 at 9:48am PST
Um, hello, where was Ayesha Curry’s “Preggers” announcement t-shirt when we were expecting? It, like her, is super-cute.

A post shared by Hilary Duff (@hilaryduff) on Jun 8, 2018 at 9:43am PDT

Chrissy Teigen & John Legend
it’s john’s!
A post shared by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on Nov 21, 2017 at 1:15pm PST
We could watch this 2017 video of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend’s daughter Luna pointing out the “baby” in her mama’s belly at least 100 times. And now little Miles is on the outside charming the world!
Kate Hudson & Danny Fujikawa
SURPRISE!!! 🤱 If you’ve wondered why I’ve been so absent on my social channels it’s because I have never been more sick! It was the most sick first trimester of all my children. Boomerangs have made me nauseous, Superzoom is an easy way to have my head in the toilet, food instagrams make me queezy and thinking too much about insta stories made me even more exhausted than I already had been. If you’ve seen me out and about smiling and pretending like everything is amazing…I was lying! BUT! I have broken through on the other end of that and rediscovering the joys of insta/snap. We have been trying to keep this pregnancy under the radar for as long as possible but I’m a poppin now! And it’s too darn challenging to hide, and frankly hiding is more exhausting then just coming out with it! My kids, Danny, myself and the entire family are crazy excited! A little girl on the way 💕
A post shared by Kate Hudson (@katehudson) on Apr 6, 2018 at 10:15am PDT
Kate Hudson and boyfriend Danny Fujikawa decided to break their pregnancy news and gender reveal in one fell swoop with a home video, and their reaction tugs right on the heartstrings.

In honor of “Labor” Day, Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn’t be happier…
A post shared by Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood) on Sep 1, 2014 at 2:21pm PDT
It’s wild to think it’s been almost six years since Carrie Underwood announced her first pregnancy “in honor of ‘Labor’ Day.” Of course, she asked big siblings — pups Ace and Penny — to assist in breaking the big news.
Eva Longoria & José Bastón
New year, new adventures! I’m so grateful to my beautiful family for giving this new baby so much love already! 🙏🏻 #HappyNewYear #2018
A post shared by Eva Longoria Baston (@evalongoria) on Jan 1, 2018 at 8:46am PST
We’re not sure whose hands were resting on Eva Longoria’s making-its-debut baby bump in her reveal post, but this much is certain — her baby was destined to come into the world surrounded by love.
Pink & Carey Hart
Surprise!
A post shared by P!NK (@pink) on Nov 12, 2016 at 9:52am PST

Thank you EVERYONE for the Bday wishes! This year, I’m getting the GREATEST GIFT EVER. CAN’T WAIT. #BoyOrGirl #YouNeverKnow #WeDontEvenKnow #WeAreTakingBets
A post shared by Justin Timberlake (@justintimberlake) on Jan 31, 2015 at 3:29pm PST
How has it been five years since Justin Timberlake planted a kiss on Jessica Beil’s baby bump, thereby telling the world they were expecting? Their son Silas is perhaps even cuter than we expected him to be, which didn’t seem possible.
Hillary Scott & Chris Tyrrell
We are overjoyed to be having TWO more girls! Eisele is so excited to have her very own living baby dolls. Chris and I are beyond grateful that we get to raise a household of little ladies, and can’t wait to watch and help them grow into kind, independent, and confident women! Now we wait with great expectation (and many prayers) for them to get here safely!

Does this mean I’m allowed to drive in the car pool lane at all times now?
A post shared by Shay Mitchell (@shaymitchell) on Jun 28, 2019 at 12:26pm PDT
First of all, Shay Mitchell couldn’t have looked like more of a goddess in her bump-revealing pregnancy photo. But her caption was perfection, to boot: “Does this mean I’m allowed to drive in the car pool lane at all times now?”
Ali Fedotowsky & Kevin Manno
And just like that, life became a whole lot sweeter 👨🏻👱🏻♀️👶🏻👶🏻🐶 #BabyManno #May2018 . . 📷: @ashleyburns_

A post shared by Fergie (@fergie) on Feb 18, 2013 at 10:31am PST
It’s a little sad to think back on this memory in light of their later split. Still, how frickin’ cute was it when Fergie shared composite baby photos of her and then-husband Josh Duhamel to announce their “lovely baby bump”?
Jessica Alba & Cash Warren

Jamie Lynn Spears & Jamie Watson
Looks like we are starting off 2018 with another big milestone…sooo happy to announce that Maddie is FINALLY going to be a big sister👶🏼2017 was filled with some of the biggest challenges of my life, as well as some of the biggest blessings, so I made a choice to lay low this year to focus on truly becoming my best self as a person and as an artist. During that time, I continued working on my music and telling my story, which has created some of my most honest work and I CANT wait to share that with you all very soon. 2018 is going to be filled with many milestones both personally and professionally. I appreciate each of you for your patience and support through it all. 2018 has a lot coming, so GET READY…….. #12DaysofJLS
