Last year was an exciting year for a lot of celebrity families. Many of them welcomed little bundles of joy, and there are few things we love more than a birth announcement. (Pregnancy announcements, you’re a close second!)

There were babies born in the hospital with the “help” of dad (we’re winking at you, Jason Kelce!), babies born at home, rainbow babies born, babies born via surrogate, and those who were a total surprise to the world. Paris Hilton shocked the world twice in 2023 when she welcomed son Phoenix at the beginning of the year and daughter London at the end! (Will she and husband Carter Reum welcome Baby No. 3 in 2024? Time will tell.)
There were babies who we really got to “meet” and “know,” like Keke Palmer’s son Leo, Kaley Cuoco’s daughter Tildy, and Shawn Johnson’s son Bear. And then there are those babies who are (understandably) spending their infancy in private like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s son Riot Rose and Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s son Rocky Thirteen.
Regardless of when, how, and how much we find out, the news of a new celebrity bébé always brings a smile to our faces. And, more importantly, smiles to the faces of the new parents. And so we love when they share a sliver of that joy with the world because, c’mon, we’ll take all the little doses of secondhand happiness we can get!
That’s why we’re keeping tabs on all the stars whose families grow this year. Like we said last year, you can come back to this list whenever you need to brighten your day because cute baby faces and beaming parents should do just the trick. And starting just days into 2024, there are already parents we have to congratulate!

Baz made headlines during her pregnancy after an ad campaign for lactation cookies that featured Baz showing her bare baby bump was banned from Times Square for violating “guidelines on acceptable content.” The More Is More author was quick to point out the double standard that lingerie brand campaigns with nearly-naked women were acceptable, but once a bare bump was involved, it was a problem. After much backlash, the ads were reinstated.
Baz also became the first [known] pregnant woman on a cereal box when she posed for Special K. As part of the partnership, Special K is also donating $25 thousand to United Way. Followers can learn more and pre-order one of the collectible boxes HERE.

“Maya loves her name being sung to her and is the queen of comedic timing, and Cooper loves his sleep and has the funniest facial expressions,” Sidibe said.
