Isolation hasn't been all bad for these A-listers. The recent downtime has been peppered with celebrity pregnancy announcements from reality stars, models, singers, TV hosts, actors, and more. Now, most of these celebs are far enough along that the children weren't actually conceived during this home isolation, but perhaps in a few months, we'll start to see those announcements, too, if any stars were getting busy while stuck at home.
Believe it or not, a number of celebs have announced a pregnancy since March, and we've rounded up 20 of the celebrities we're most excited to see give birth. For some of them, it's their first child, and for others, it's a fourth or fifth. Every baby is a blessing, especially for some of these mamas who conceived again after a recent miscarriage. Their rainbow babies are due this year, along with all these other celebrity children to come.
Maggie Grace
One of the first celebrity pregnancy announcements to come out of this period of isolation was from former Lost star Maggie Grace. On March 20, she posted a photo of her baby bump to Instagram and captioned it, "In the midst of these uncertain times, we’ve been blessed with a joyful reminder of what’s most important. Our first little one will be joining us this summer." She then added the hashtag "#isolatingbutihavecompany."
Meghan McCain
The View cohost announced on March 22 that she would be self-isolating in order to better protect herself and her recent pregnancy. She started videoconferencing in to The View for her safety. She didn't mention how far along she was, but the baby will be a rainbow child, as she experienced a miscarriage about eight months prior.
Tenley Molzahn
Basically from the moment former Bachelor star Tenley met her now husband, she knew they were meant to be. In an interview with Bustle three weeks after meeting Taylor Leopold, Tenley gushed that she knew they would get married. In 2018, they did, and now they're expecting a baby girl together.
Kevin Hart
On March 24, Kevin Hart posted a photo of wife Eniko Parrish's baby bump to tell the world they would soon become a family of six. Kevin and Eniko already share a son, Kenzo, and Kevin has two children from a previous marriage. In a May gender reveal, the comedian announced that their baby is a girl.
Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin
Hilaria Baldwin has had a tough time of it recently. In November 2019, she revealed that she'd had a second miscarriage in the span of seven months. So when she announced on April 6 that she was expecting again, all of her fans were so excited for her. "Just got the great news that all is well and all is healthy with this little munchkin," Hilaria captioned a video of the baby's heartbeat.
Liz Sandoz and Vito Presta
Bachelor fans will remember Liz as a contestant from Nick Viall's season, but after she left the show without a fiancé, she went on to marry someone she didn't meet on reality TV: Vito Presta. Now she's expecting the couple's first child after dealing with a miscarriage in 2019. Their baby is due in the early fall of this year.
Aaron Carter
Although Aaron Carter and his girlfriend, Melanie Martin, briefly broke up in March, they reunited in April to reveal the good news that she's expecting a baby. It's his first child, and Us Weekly reported that Aaron said on Instagram he will "make a very good father" and is all about giving the baby "nothing but love."
Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger
In late April, People reported that newlywed couple Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are expecting. Chris confirmed the news during an Instagram live a few days later, and it wasn't long before Katherine was spotted out and about with a baby bump. Chris already has a child from his marriage to Anna Faris, but this will be his first with Katherine.
Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid
The on-again, off-again couple is on again, with Gigi expecting a baby. On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the model said that isolating together while she's been pregnant hasn't been too bad. "[It's a] nice silver lining to be able to be home and together and to really experience it day by day," she said.
Lea Michele
A couple of days after it was reported that Glee star Lea Michele is pregnant, she confirmed the news with a baby belly shot on Instagram. "So grateful," she captioned the photo. Lea is having the child with her husband, Zandy Reich, whom she married last March. It will be the couple's first baby.
Jessica and Cody Nickson
After meeting on Big Brother in 2017, Jessica and Cody tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their first child last March. Now their daughter, Maverick, will get to be a big sister, because the Big Brother duo is expecting again. Jessica announced the news in early May and has since revealed that the baby will be another girl.
Rachel Reilly and Brandon Villegas
Jessica and Cody aren't the only Big Brother couple expecting a baby. Rachel Reilly and Brandon Villegas met on the 12th season of the reality show in 2010. Since then, they've gotten married and had a daughter named Adora together. On May 10, they announced that their family was going to get a little bigger, because Rachel is pregnant again.
Lindsay Arnold
The Dancing with the Stars family is growing, because pro dancer Lindsay Arnold is expecting her first child with husband Sam Cusick. Lindsay told People that she was convinced she was having a boy until the ultrasound confirmed it was a little girl. "I was already looking at boy nursery ideas and boy names. We were both extremely shocked, but so happy. Our whole family was just as shocked. We all didn't think this was going to happen!" Lindsay said.
Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert
Not all Bachelor couples stay together, but Jade and Tanner's relationship has been going strong ever since they met on Bachelor in Paradise. The couple already has two children together, and they announced in May that a third is on the way. Jade wrote on Instagram that she was grateful for the timing of this child, even among so much chaos. "I truly believe babies being born during this time are here for a special reason, to be light workers," she said.
Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix
Don't expect an Instagram announcement confirming the pregnancy, gender, or even the birth of their baby, since Rooney and Joaquin are notoriously private people. But Us Weekly does report that the duo is expecting their first child together. Rooney and Joaquin are engaged to be married, and now they're welcoming a little one into the family as well.
Jude Law
Jude Law already has several children from previous relationships, but he's now getting ready to welcome his first with new wife Phillipa Coan. The Daily Mail posted photos on May 19 of a pregnant Phillipa out and about, which broke the couple's big news. Jude Law isn't on social media, so a press report was about the only way we'd ever have found out about his soon-to-be-due child.
Kel Mitchell
Kel Mitchell, of Kenan and Kel fame, announced his wife Asia Lee's pregnancy with a viral TikTok video. The couple did the "wipe it down" challenge where one person cleans a mirror, and then as it gets cleaner, a glammed-up version of themselves appears in the mirror. But Kel did it so that when he began cleaning the mirror, his pregnant wife's reflection popped up.
So cute.
Karla Souza
How to Get Away With Murder may be over, but star Karla Souza is looking on to bigger and better things with the announcement that she's pregnant again. Karla and her husband, Marshall Trenkmann, already have a daughter named Gianna, and now Gianna is going to be a big sister.
So exciting!
Sasha Pieterse
Pretty Little Liars star Sasha Pieterse announced her pregnancy on a pretty meaningful date — her two-year wedding anniversary. She and husband Hudson Sheaffer are expecting their first child together sometime this October. And it couldn't be more fitting for a PLL baby to be born in the month of Halloween.
Jinger Duggar
The Duggar family keeps on growing! There have been so many little Duggars born lately, and Jinger will add to that count soon. On May 28, she announced that she was expecting a baby girl due this November. She and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, already have one daughter, Felicity, who will soon have a sister. "We'll definitely have our hands full!" Jinger joked on Instagram.
