Cristiano Ronaldo & Georgina Rodriguez
The Portuguese football star shared a heartwarming photo of him and Georgina holding their twins' scans back in 2021. "Delighted to announce we are expecting twins. Our hearts are full of love - we can’t wait to meet you #blessed," penned the star. The news was first confirmed by HELLO!'s sister publication HOLA!, who revealed at the time that Georgina had passed her 12-week scan.
Sadly, the couple went on to lose one of the twins during childbirth. "We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you," Cristiano shared in a statement.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley & Jason Statham
Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whitely kept things casual when it came to announcing her second pregnancy. The blonde beauty took to Instagram to share a series of relaxed outfits, unveiling her blossoming baby bump in a luxe white co-ord on the final slide.
"Taaa daahhh !! #round2," she wrote. Simple, but effective.
Beyonce & Jay Z
Everyone remember's Beyonce's jaw-dropping pregnancy reveal back in 2011 during her performance of "Love On Top" at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The 28-time Grammy Award-winner unbuttoned her glittering purple blazer to reveal her growing baby bump at the end of the performance - and wasn't she glowing!
Princess Eugenie & Jack Brooksbank
It's custom for royals to announce their pregnancy via an official announcement released by the Palace - but Princess Eugenie took things into her own hands when it came to revealing her exciting news.
On her own Instagram page, Eugenie shared two photos and added: "Jack and I are so excited for early 2021..." And now the royal is expecting her second child!
Leigh-Anne Pinnock & Andre Grey
Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock looked like a total goddess when she revealed her pregnancy with the world back in 2021.
Taking to Instagram to post a stunning photo of herself wearing nothing but a silky emerald green sheet, she wrote: "We've dreamed about this moment for so long and we can't believe the dream is finally coming true... we can't wait to meet you."
Perrie Edwards & Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Just days after her Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne announced her pregnancy, Perrie took to Instagram to reveal her baby bump. "So happy to be on this wild journey with my soulmate," she wrote on Instagram. "Me + Him = You. We can't wait to meet you baby Ox!"
Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott
The world was stunned when Kylie Jenner finally revealed she had given birth to a baby girl, Stormi, after concealing her pregnancy for an entire nine months. Kim Kardashian's sister kept her special news a complete secret from fans and the media by dressing in oversized clothes, recycling old photos on Instagram, and keeping entirely out of the public eye.
Kylie and Travis released a video on YouTube documenting their entire pregnancy in April of 2018, and clips showed the entire progression of the pregnancy, doctor's visits, and special ultrasound moments with family. Adorable!
Tan France & Rob France
Queer Eye star Tan France revealed he and husband Rob were expecting their first child via surrogate with a heartwarming photo of himself with an ultrasound image over his stomach.
"So happy to finally share that WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!" he penned. "No, I'm not pregnant, despite this VERY realistic pic. With the greatest gift/help of the most wonderful surrogate, Rob and I are lucky enough to be on our way to being parents, this Summer. Something we've wanted for SOooo many years."
Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty
American rapper Nicki Minaj shared three photographs on Instagram revealing her news, simply captioning the first picture: "Preggers." Need we say more?
Gigi Hadid & Zayn Malik
In true lockdown style, Gigi Hadid announced her first pregnancy with Zayn Malik back in 2020, via a Zoom call on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - and it was pretty iconic.
The star said: "Obviously, we wished we could have announced it on our own terms but we're very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support."
Cardi B & Offset
We can't forget Cardi B's badass second pregnancy reveal during the 2021 BET Awards. Rap trio Migos took to the stage to perform two songs, bringing out surprise guest Cardi B, who dropped jaws as she took to the stage in a diamond-encrusted jumpsuit with sheer material accentuating her baby bump.
