Celebs you may not know have a baby on the way

Perhaps no celeb will ever be able to top Beyoncé’s record-breaking pregnancy announcement (which became the most liked image in Instagram history, garnering over 11 million hearts), but whenever we learn of an A-lister expecting a little one (or two!), we can’t help but get excited.

From the cute social media announcements to the adorbs bump and baby photos, we’re all for it, especially when the news takes us by surprise! Here are the celebrity moms and dads who you may not know have a mini me on the way RIGHT. NOW.

It seems like just yesterday that Nathan Kress was a child actor starring on Nickelodeon’s 2007 hit series iCarly, but now he’s all grown up and about to become a first-time dad! Kress took to Instagram to let his fans know about the upcoming arrival with plenty of humor.

Sharing a photo of himself kissing wife Elise Kress (whom he met on the set of 2014’s Into the Storm), the 24-year-old joked, “Me and my baby in London. Me, and my baby in London. Me. And my baby IN —> LONDON

Not to be outdone, the glowing mama-to-be shared her own announcement with an equally cheeky caption that read, “I put my barf bag down for this photo. #seriouslySOexcited #weloveoursweetbabyKress #completelyworthit #secondtrimesterherewecome.”

The couple returned to Instagram in August for a gender reveal during which Nathan once again showed off his humor. The expecting parents can be seen holding an ‘It’s a baby girl!’ balloon while the caption warns, “You can find me on my porch, in my rocking chair, polishing my shotgun, for the next 18 to 40 years.”

Actress Julia Stiles and fiancé Preston J. Cook, who got engaged on Christmas Eve 2015, seem to be taking things real slow and have yet to walk down the aisle, but in June 2017, their rep confirmed to People that they’re expecting their first bundle of joy!

The couple first met on the set of 2015 thriller Blackway while Stiles was playing the lead role and Cook was working as a camera assistant. Following the exciting announcement, the 36-year-old debuted her growing bump in London, posing for photos with radio personality Nick Snaith who interviewed her about her latest project, a 10-part thriller dubbed Riviera that’s set to air on the UK’s Sky Atlantic channel.

The View co-host Sara Haines had quite an interesting way of making news of her second pregnancy official! It was June 20, 2017 and the day’s episode kicked off normally, until fellow host Whoopi Goldberg took viewers by surprise, announcing, “There’s somebody in the studio right now who wants to share wonderful news… they have a baby on the way!”

The camera then panned from one audience member to another before eventually landing on Haines who could barely contain her excitement and practically squealed the news: She’s expecting a baby girl with hubby Max Shifrin just 15 months after giving birth to a little boy named Alec Richard.

The 31-year-old son of legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne is going to be a dad for the third time! After suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage in 2013, the couple took a break for some much-needed healing and are now expecting. 

The reality TV star and his wife, Lisa Stelly, took to Instagram to share the exciting news with the world and accompanied their announcement with a big dose of humor. Posing for a sweet selfie, the couple showed off Stelly’s growing bump and wrote, “Literally ate the biggest burrito ever.”

Both Osbourne and his wife, who already have a five-year-old daughter named Pearl and a two-year-old baby girl named Andy, are making the most of every moment as young parents. Speaking with People in June 2017, Stelly explained that despite any frustrations, she knows “they’re only gonna be this little for so long, and you want to absorb all those cuddles. I just tell myself, ‘This is not gonna last.’ I try to really savor it.”

Michael Douglas’ son, actor Cameron Douglas, is going to be a first-time papa. The 38-year-old is expecting his first-ever child with girlfriend Viviane Thibes, a 39-year-old yoga instructor from Brazil. The couple, who were spotted together for the first time in August 2016 shortly after Douglas completed a seven-year prison sentence, broke the news on Instagram.

Posing topless, the parents-to-be can be seen grinning from ear to ear, while the caption reads like a poem. “So it would be an angel was in the making,” wrote Douglas. “From high above this Soul perched to determine just where her efforts would be partaking. Once decided this moonlight blazed without resistance; No longer just musings, she was now a powerful force of existence. But whatever grace aligned those musings with our reality; A lifetime of Love and fulfillment awaits In utter totality. #myheart”

The Breaking Bad star and his wife, Lauren, are starting a new chapter in their lives as they prepare for the arrival of their first child. Dropping the news on Instagram, the actor joked, “Hey everyone. Look what I did” alongside a photo of his love showing off her growing baby bump. “Words can’t express how excited I am that this little one has entered our lives,” he continued. “Just thought it was time I would share this beautiful news with all of you.” 

The mama-to-be also made her own Insta announcement, uploading a montage of sweet family photos showing herself and her hubby as kids, as well as an ultrasound snap of their babe, and writing, “Oh hi!”

The news comes less than four months after the actor told People he wasn’t quite ready to start a family. “To be honest, we haven’t really thought about it,” he said in June 2017. “There’s no rush into anything. So if it happens, it happens.” How quickly things change!

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and his supermodel wife, Behati Prinsloo, welcomed their first child, daughter Dusty Rose, into the world less than a year ago, and already the happy couple is expecting again! The Victoria’s Secret Angel used a bikini-clad selfie to show her tiny bump to the world, declaring, “ROUND 2…..”

Speaking with People just a month earlier, the South African beauty opened up about the joys of motherhood, revealing she’s been most surprised by “the fact that you could love a person more than you ever thought. I love Adam, and when you get married and you fall in love with someone, you think that there’s no greater love than that love, then you have a baby, and it’s just next-level love,” she explained.  

Singer Ne-Yo (real name Shaffer Smith) is back in the spotlight, as the subject of E!‘s newest reality series, The Platinum Life, in which he stars alongside his wife, Crystal Smith, their 19-month-old babe, Shaffer Chimere Jr., as well as his two kids (seven-year-old Madilyn Grace and six-year-old Mason Evan) from a previous marriage. Now, the show’s cast is about to get bigger!

Posting a photo collage of her 38-year-old husband kissing her and holding her bump, Crystal broke the news that she’s expecting on Instagram and made sure to include a nice dose of humor. “We didn’t plan for you but you are Gods plan and I thank you for choosing us to be your parents!” she wrote. “Impatiently awaiting our newest addition. WE’RE PREGNANT!!! @neyo (I think he did it on purpose) joking! LOL”

Speaking with E! News, she teased the “gender reveal party is going to be epic” before adding, “I haven’t really been sick at all but the cravings are real! All I want are raw oysters and steak!”

Whether it’s a sweet Instagram snap, a big family affair or huge pop culture moment, we love celebrity pregnancy announcements in all their forms, big and small.
