From carefully concealed pregnancies to headline-grabbing baby bumps, some celebrities have mastered the art of privacy, while others have sparked immediate intrigue with their highly visible pregnancies.
Amber Heard
Despite what was going on at the time with her ex husband, Johnny Depp, Heard still managed to take the time to introduce her new baby, via surrogate, into the world, in 2021 and she did it “on her own terms.”
Rebel Wilson
Rebel has been in the spotlight for many things, but the biggest shock was when she made the announcement on Instagram that her new baby girl, Royce Lillian, had been born in November 2022.
Beyonce
This has got to be one of the best shocking celeb pregnancy announcements in history. During the Grammies in 2011, Beyonce decided to unbutton her jacket so everyone could see there was a bun in the oven. This event has even been published in the Guinness World Records as the “single most tweeted event.”
Naomi Campbell
A shock to anyone from someone who has defied all of the odds, Naomi announced to the world that she was 50 and pregnant! Naomi took to Instagram in May 2021 to announce the birth of her daughter. In a sweet statement, she said her daughter had “chosen her to be her mother.”
Kourtney Kardashian
In a surprising twist after bravely sharing her IVF journey alongside her new husband Travis Barker, reality star and Poosh founder Kourtney shocked fans by announcing her pregnancy during one of his concerts. The unexpected moment captured on Instagram showcased Kourtney in the audience, proudly displaying a sign that exclaimed, “Travis, I’m expecting!”
Kylie Jenner
Even though Kylie is super famous and all over the media, she managed to keep her first pregnancy under wraps for the whole 9 yards. She introduced her baby Stormi into the world in February 2018.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina has made it obvious to everyone that she loves being a mom, and definitely wants a big family. She adopted two orphans, Maddox (2002) and Zahara (2005) but the biggest shock was the birth of her first biological baby, Shiloh (2006).
Grimes and Elon Musk
Elon is the father to 9 children, so pregnancy announcements are his forte. However, it was still a huge shock when Grimes announced she was pregnant by posting a baby bump picture onto Instagram. The biggest shock was the name they gave their son, X AE A-12.
Iggy Azalea
Another Instagram announcement that had people shocked, was the birth of Iggy Azalea’s first child. However, it goes without saying that Iggy was pregnant during lockdown, so it was a lot easier to conceal her pregnancy.
Cardi B
Cardi B and her partner Offset’s relationship has been up and down for a while, yet the biggest shock came when she announced that she was pregnant. It was only less than a year after a divorce filing that Cardi B took to the stage during Saturday Night Live to announce she was pregnant.
Rihanna
When Rihanna came out in comfy mom crocs instead of her stilettos, everyone had a feeling. She is best known as a party girl, actress and singer, but nothing prepared the world when she made the announcement in January 2022 that she was pregnant. She did this by walking out on stage with her boyfriend with a heavy baby bump. Shortly after, 4 months later, they welcomed their son Noah into the world.
