If we got a dollar for every time a celebrity announced to the world that they had a baby
in secret, I think it’s safe to say our pockets would be… loaded at this point.
Let’s get into it!
From two Jonas Brothers- to the baby of the Kardashian-Jenner family, these last couple
of years have been full of surprise births from some of the biggest stars around.
And kicking off our list of celebrities who’ve kept their baby news a secret are none other
than Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra.
“I LOVE THEM”
Nick and Pri, who have been married since December of 2018, went through their first
year as newlyweds and this entire pandemic child-free – even though starting a family
has always been a plan for the two!
Well, fast forward to the beginning of 2022 when Nick and Pri threw the world for a loop
by sharing their exciting news that they’ve welcomed a baby into the world!
The two posted matching note announcements to their Instagram with a joint message that
read, “We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate.
We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family.
Thank you so much.”
Sweet, simple, and to the point.
“GOTTA LOVE IT”
While it was a bit easier for Nick and Priyanka to hide their baby news since they used a
surrogate, we can’t really say it was the same for Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott when
they were expecting Stormi.
I mean, the pregnancy rumors were non-stop when Ky was pregnant.
From the invasive TMZ photos to oversized clothing and her brief social media hiatus,
all Kylie could really do was hide out and stay silent on the matter until she was ready
to share her news.
“STAY PUT.
STAY QUIET”
Then, in February of 2018 on Super Bowl Sunday, Kylie pulled a KarJenner and overshadowed
the biggest day in sports, when she finally revealed that she and Travis had welcomed
little Stormi into the world.
And as if the baby news wasn’t enough already, Ky dropped the cutest video that she and Travis
– along with some professional videographers and a director attached to it– had filmed
throughout her pregnancy and titled it, “To Our Daughter.”
Cue the aw’s, people!!
Then there’s Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner!
While the two definitely tried to keep their pregnancy underwraps – and technically they
did because Joe and Sophie never really confirmed anything themselves – sources close to them
actually spilled the tea on their family making plans to E! News.
According to E!, multiple sources confirmed in February 20-20 that the two were expecting,
and that Sophie was about four months along at that point in time!
They simply said, “They told their families recently and everyone is ecstatic and so happy
for them.”
And even though Jophie were pregnant during the beginning of the pandemic, a few paps
managed to snag some photos of Joe and Sophie out on walks while she was fully showing.
However, Joe and Sophie both kept quiet on the topic at hand, and it wasn’t until summer
of 2020 when TMZ broke the news and confirmed that Joe and Sophie welcomed a baby girl into
the world on July 22nd in LA, with Just Jared reporting that the two named their daughter
Willa.
Then there’s some of our favorite child stars that seriously threw us for a loop with
baby news!
“COME ON.
LET’S GET YOU HOME”
Macaulay Culkin of ‘Home Alone’ fame, along with Brenda Song from the iconic Disney
Channel show ‘The Suite Life of Zack and Cody’ welcomed their first son, Dakota,
together in April of 2021.
Macaulay and Brenda, who have been together since 2017, made their announcement through
Esquire and literally only shared with the outlet, “We’re overjoyed.”
That’s it, that’s the tweet.
But it’s not like their fans were surprised that the two had a child together.
In fact, those who have closely followed Macaulay’s career can remember when he made an appearance
on Joe Rogan’s podcast and said he had plans to “put some babies in her in a little bit”
and shared that they’ve “definitely been practicing.”
“I’m going to have some pretty babies.
She’s Asian, so I’m gonna have tiny little Asian babies.
It’s going to be adorable — a bunch of Sean Lennon’s running around the house,
that’s what I’m looking for.”
When it comes to this “Fancy” rapper, Iggy Azalea made sure to keep her pregnancy
a secret until her son was born.
Iggy shared the birth of her firstborn on I-G, writing, “I have a son.
I kept waiting for the right time to say something, but it feels like the more time passes the
more I realize I’m going to feel anxious to share news that giant with the world.
I want to keep his life private but wanted to make it clear he is not a secret and I
love him beyond words.”
And since that announcement, Iggy has revealed that her son’s name is Onyx and that his
father is the one and only Playboi Carti.
So there you have it – keeping babies a secret isn't a new thing in the world of Hollywood,
and it doesn’t look like it will stop being a thing anytime soon.
