We can all confidently say we’re reeling from Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show— I mean, an unforgettable performance and a baby reveal? It has us remembering all the times our favorite celebrities left us stunned with big news. Let’s take a look back at some of the most iconic celebrity pregnancy announcements we simply can’t forget.
- BEYONCé

Queen B just has to be first on the list, especially since the announcement of her first baby with rapper Jay-Z left us all screaming at our TVs. The singer took the stage at the 2011 VMA’s to perform the hit “Love On Top” and, of course, did not disappoint giving us all the vocals and choreography. When the song ended unassuming viewers watched as the queen herself threw her mic, unbuttoned her jacket, and posed with her hidden baby bump in full view. The moment broke our brains and effectively the internet itself making it the most iconic announcement on the list.
- KYLIE JENNER
-
We can’t forget (and let’s be honest we don’t want to) the sweetest Instagram announcement of all time. After keeping her pregnancy secret for the entirety of its term, the social media influencer took to Instagram to announce her first child, Stormi on Feb. 1, 2018. Not only did this mark a new era for King Kylie, but it also gave her the record for the most-liked Instagram photo of all time until December 2022. The moment can only be described as absolutely precious.
- TAN FRANCE
-
The star of the Netflix show Queer Eye, Tan France, shared on Instagram a hilariously beautiful post announcing pregnancy with his husband Rob France. His photo included posing with a photoshopped baby scan set perfectly on his stomach to share the exciting news. He writes this is “something we’ve wanted for SOooo many years,” completely making our hearts melt with delight.
- KEKE PALMER
-
We can’t get enough of celebrities announcing their pregnancies on live TV. Keke Palmer took to the Saturday Night Live stage to deliver arguably the most unforgettable monologue in SNL history. Not only did she have the crowd laughing and cheering, but she also had them gasping at her baby bump reveal, effectively settling the bombardment of pregnancy rumors. Joy was written all over the actor’s face as she confirmed the suspicions in her comment sections, or as she would put it “setting the record straight!”
- MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE harry
-
The couple whose endured hardship after hardship revealed their expecting baby number two on Instagram with one of the most magical photos we’ve ever seen. The photo captures the special connection between the two as they lay in the grass, marveling into each other’s eyes. The news came on Valentine’s Day, which if that itself isn’t cute enough, was on the same day 37 years prior when Princess Diana announced her pregnancy with Harry. Classic case of history repeating itself! This couple deserves the world and more.
That wraps up our top celebrity baby announcements list! We adore when celebs are excited to welcome a new chapter of their lives and all the creative ways they choose to share it with us.
