During her very first Saturday Night Live performance, Cardi B gave us a pregnancy announcement to remember after revealing she’s expecting her first child with her fiancé, Offset! From red carpet confessions to adorable Instagram posts, take a look at some of our favorite bun-in-the-oven announcements.
Chrissy Teigen (who you can now call mom-to-be) took to social media to announce that she and John Legend are having a baby! In an Instagram post, the model stated: “John and I are so happy to announce that we are pregnant 🙂 As many of you know, we’ve been trying to have a baby for a while now. It hasn’t been easy, but we kept trying because we can’t wait to bring our first child into the world and grow our family. We’re so excited that it’s finally happening. Thank you for all your love and well wishes. I look forward to all the belly touching! Xx.” Cheers to a new baby Legend!
Who could forget Beyonce’s unforgettable 2011 VMA performance of “Love on Top”? People went crazy over her vocals, but the world lost its mind when she ended the stomach by rubbing her stomach, letting the world know that there would be a mini-Bey in the very near future.
All you can ask for is a little privacy. We didn’t find out about JHud’s pregnancy until after her baby shower. That’s right—the superstar kept her bump under wraps until her family and friends had gotten the chance to quietly fawn over her… sans paparazzi. We would have to agree that sometimes, that’s the best way to do it!
The songstress and her hubby announced their pregnancy in an Instagram post fit for a goddess. Clad in white, Alicia shared a photo of herself, Swizz Beatz and her pregnant belly on their anniversary. “Happy anniversary to the love of my life @therealswizzz!!” she wrote. “And to make it even sweeter, we’ve been blessed with another angel on the way!!”
It was clear(blue) for Tamera that she was preggers! This “Sister Sister” announced that she was expecting her second child via a January Facebook post in which she was proudly displaying her positive pregnancy test. “We are thrilled to announce that we are #ClearblueConfirmed!” she wrote. She later found out the gender of her baby live on her television show, The Real (it’s a girl, ICYMI).
The queen of reality TV has been documenting her fertility struggles ever since she gave birth to North West in 2013. She’s been trying desperately for baby number two ever since, and last night in a teaser for next week’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, it looks like she and her hubby Kanye got their wish! “I just got the blood test back, and I am pregnant!” Kim said to her sister Khloe in the clip. Congrats to the happy couple! Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ll be waiting over here patiently for the baby’s (sure to be one-of-a-kind) name.
Tamar announced her pregnancy on Good Morning America. “I have a love on top!” she said, referencing Beyonce’s 2011 pregnancy announcement. She went on to admit that she has been indulging in all her cravings, then stood up to display her baby bump… while perched on five-inch stilettos. Work it, mama!
Have you ever seen a cuter pregnancy announcement? With the help of a jar of store-bought tomato sauce, the then-Baltimore Ravens’ wide receiver Torrey Smith and his wife, Chanel, announced that they were expecting in 2013. “We’re prego!” read a sign taped to a jar of Prego spaghetti sauce as the couple slurped pasta in the background. ‘Nuff said!
Surprise! Rumors had been swirling about whether the singer was pregnant, but she officially confirmed it on The View last January. “There are rumors about pregnancy,” co-host Barbara Walters asked. “Do you want to confirm?” To that, Ciara stood up to reveal a burgeoning baby bump. Love!
