2020 started with a whole mess of bad, but 2021 was a fresh start, especially for these celebs who announced their pregnancies! Throughout the year, there’s been a steady flow of A-listers sporting their recent baby bumps and looking thrilled doing so. Is your favorite celeb expecting?

Halsey

Halsey has always been open about her previous miscarriage, making it all the more exciting when she announced she was expecting! The pop star had a lilac photoshoot with her natural hair to show off her new bump and kept fans updated with her belly growth throughout the year before giving birth to her son, Zander. The 26-year-old says that she has wanted to be a mom since she was little and would choose it over being a pop star any day.

Cardi B

In true Cardi fashion, her bump premiered with flair. Showing off her stomach in this bedazzled jumpsuit, she announced her second pregnancy to the world at the 2021 BET Awards. Cardi welcomed her baby on September 6 with boyfriend and rapper, Offset.

Ronda Rousey

This is definitely a mom you wouldn’t want a spanking from! WWE star Ronda Rousey showed off her growing baby bump in a Mother’s Day post, swapping the usual bad-assery for a touching photo in front of a rainbow. She delivered a beautiful baby girl, her first child, on September 29.

Jennifer Love Hewitt

This spring, the actress showed off her baby bump as she and her husband prepared for baby number 3! Already a mom to two children, Hewitt wrote on social media, “Oh baby! We have another one on the way. So excited to finally share this news with all of you.”

Ilana Glazer

Now, this would have made a great Broad City season: Ilana, the mother. Welcoming her first child with husband David Rocklin, the Broad City co-creator posed for a fiery Entertainment shoot to show off her bump. She has spoken about being an older mom, stating, "I'm 34 and I'm pregnant for the first time, and while I mentally and professionally feel really in such a secure place to have this baby, physically it's not ideal! It's not ideal compared to 24.”

Gal Gadot 

Baby bump, but make it fashion. The “Wonder Woman” star posed, cradling her bump in this beautiful maternity gown. This is the third child that the Israeli actress is welcoming with her husband. Gadot spoke with Jimmy Kimmel about her daughters being hesitant to welcome a new family member, but quickly got on board and couldn’t be more excited!

Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding posed nude for a photoshoot with Paper Magazine as she prepared to give birth to her first child. The British singer found out she was pregnant mid-pandemic, and it was a surprise to both her and her husband! They said they weren’t expecting to get pregnant so soon–they found out on their one-year anniversary–but they feel like it is fate. The singer also mentioned that she’s enjoying the curves of her new body, and her husband is too!

Meghan Markle

In her widely publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle held sweetly onto her baby bump. After leaving the Royal Family and moving to North America, she and Harry welcomed their second child, a girl they’ve named “Lillibet.”

Marie Kondo

The home organization guru announced on social media that her “another bundle of joy” was on the way, making the 36-year-old Netflix star a soon-to-be mother of three. Although she’s known for her perfectionism in her best-selling book “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” she’s said that having kids has changed that since so much of child-rearing can be chaotic and out of your control. Nevertheless, she is happy to accept a little more chaos into her life with her third child.

Elle King

Elle King was delighted to show off her burgeoning bump at the 2021 ACM Awards. After two miscarriages, she and her fiance were ecstatic to welcome a healthy rainbow baby into the world on September 1. King, the daughter of comedian and director Rob Schneider, said announcing the pregnancy came with “fear,” but that she knew the universe would deliver to her what was meant to be in the end.
