Celebrity Bump
If there’s anything we love more than celebrities, it’s celebrity spawn. We mean, what was life before North West, Luna Stephens, Blue Ivy Carter and, of course, Prince George and Princess Charlotte? (A dark abyss, that’s what.)
So naturally, you can imagine our excitement when one of our fave stars announces a pregnancy. More celebrity babies coming into the world? Yes, please! And it looks like this year will be a big one when it comes to new celebuspawn, with stars like Beyoncé, Amal Clooney and Serena Williams expecting.
Check out all the celebrities who have announced their pregnancies in 2017 below:
Our First Celebrity Bump is Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian
As it turns out, Serena Williams’s Snapchat pregnancy reveal was an accident. The photo she posted showed her small, but growing, baby belly in a yellow swimsuit at 20 weeks. In a TED Conference in Vancouver, she revealed the upload mishap to journalist Gayle King: “I have this thing where I’ve been checking my status and taking pictures every week to see how far along I’m getting…. I was just saving them (for myself).” The 35-year-old 23-time Grand Slam champion is expecting with her fiancé, Reddit founder, Alexis Ohanian. She is set to give birth this fall, and will take time off from tennis until 2018 while she is on maternity leave.
The Female Stars of The Hills
‘Tis the year for The Hills cast to get pregnant! Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port and Heidi Pratt (née Montag) all confirmed their pregnancies this year with William Tell, Tim Rosenman and Spencer Pratt, respectively. In an interview with KTLA 5 Morning News, Port addressed how “crazy” the simultaneous pregnancies are. “You would think we all like got together one night and discussed this master plan,” she joked. “Just totally a coincidence and it’s been really awesome.”
Lucky Blue Smith and Stormi Bree Henley
Model Lucky Blue Smith shocked fans when he announced his 26-year-old girlfriend, Stormi Bree Henley, was pregnant. Smith, 18, took to Instagram (naturally) to announce the news, writing, “Hey guys I just wanted to let you in on an important part of my personal life. I have some wonderful and surprising news – Stormi and I are having a baby! It’s crazy to see how my life has been so blessed. I’m so happy and can’t wait to experience this amazing journey!” Safe to say the child will be genetically blessed, and have a really cool name.
