Between pregnancy, growth spurts and weight gain, 80% of the population develop stretch marks at some point in their lives, and this includes celebrities. In the same way that stars aren't immune to swollen stomachs and excess skin from pregnancy, they're not exempt from stretch marks, either, and these stars are all celebrating theirs.
