Who doesn't love a celebrity baby? An infant with a button nose, squishy cheeks and the gilded blood at least one famous person coursing through his or her veins is pretty much the best thing ever. Especially to those who crave and consume celeb gossip like it's an oasis in the desert.
So far, those who love it when celebs have children haven't been disappointed in 2017. Some of the biggest stars, including Janet Jackson, Zooey Deschanel, Jimmy Kimmel and Bradley Cooper have welcomed beautiful babies to the world this year, and 2017 is only halfway over.
Before this year comes to a close, even more beloved celebs including Amal Clooney, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Beyonce are set to give birth. If we're lucky, these glamorous gals will treat us all to the joy of gazing at their treasured tots on the pages of glossy magazines. We also may need to resort to constantly stalking their Instagram feeds until they post adorable pics of their new arrivals.
While it's always fun to speculate about who is or isn't expecting, it's also a good time to predict which famous folks will be sporting a baby bump in the near future. We don't have access to a crystal ball, but it seems that the baby-making stars are aligning for the celebs listed below. In fact, we wouldn't be at all surprised if each and every one of the couples that follow are the proud parents of little bundles of joy within the next year.
15 Pippa Middleton and James Matthews
Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge who's bum had the world abuzz during the wedding ceremony of William and Kate, is scheduled to wed her very own prince charming on Saturday, May 20th of this year. She and her banking tycoon fiancé James Matthews have opted for an intimate ceremony in the quaint St. Mark’s Church near the Middleton's family home in Bucklebury.
According to reports, Pippa's niece, Princess Charlotte will be the flower girl, her nephew, Prince George has the honor of being the page boy and 150 guests have been invited to attend.
A source divulged to People magazine that 33-year-old Pippa and her 41-year-old love share a "deep desire" to stay out of the spotlight, and their future plans include “having children and leading a quiet life.” We can't wait for these two to tie the knot and disappear into the shadows to start working on their adorable future family. Congrats, you two!
14 Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth
I seems that on-again, off-again, on-again lovebirds Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are ready to start a family. A source close to the pair recently told OK! Magazine that Miley and Liam "have been having very serious conversations in the past few months about family."
After the "Malibu" singer spent time in Haiti in 2011 assisting with fitting hearing aids for children in need, it is believed she caught the adoption bug. She has shared of the experience, "I felt so drawn to helping others... and immediately wanted to look for another chance to go back and help again."
When asked how he felt about having children, Liam once mused, "I'm sure one day I’ll go down that road and it will feel right." We couldn't be more thrilled for these two if the time is indeed right for them to start a family, however they decide to go about doing so.
13 Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson
According to an insider, who opened up to Life & Style magazine, mother-of-two Jessica Simpson and her hunky hubby Eric Johnson are currently in baby-making mode. The source shared, "Jessica has been trying to convince Eric to have another baby for almost a year." Apparently, Eric has finally agreed to try for one more.
Simpson and Johnson have two children together: 5-year-old daughter, Maxwell and 3- year-old son, Ace. The source also shared, "Jessica also hired a nutritionist and has been eating healthy while she tries to conceive. She’s hoping to be pregnant very soon.”
If, in fact, this dynamic duo manages to get a bun in Jessica's oven in the near future, we can't wait to see the push present Simpson receives when the baby arrives. Johnson is known for showering his lady with lavish gifts when she gives birth. Whether the happy couple has another child or not, one thing is certain: the two beautiful babies they already have are lucky to have such effortlessly cool parents.
12 Steph and Ayesha Curry
NBA super-star Steph Curry and his lovely wife Ayesha are the proud parents of two beautiful little girls: Ryan and Riley. Steph and Ayesha are both simply stunning, and their children are the cutest. Last year, Ayesha caused no small stir when she showed up with her man at the ESPY awards wearing a curve hugging burgundy dress.
Soon, more than a few Twitter users were speculating that Ayesha most definitely had a bun in the oven. The basketball wife quickly fired back at those who were quick to call her pregnant. Soon after the speculation began, she tweeted "Hawaiian vacation and I don't know my angles...Sorry!" Basically shutting down the hype by admitting she wasn't expecting, just rocking her curves.
Steph has a lot on his plate right now as he and his NBA team, the Golden State Warriors fight for an NBA championship. If Curry prevails, the celebration that follows could definitely result in a baby. Just saying.
11 Sean and Catherine Lowe
Sean and Catherine Lowe are one of the few successful relationships to come out of ABC's The Bachelor. Somehow, these two just get cuter as time goes by. The former reality stars recently welcomed their first child, a boy named Samuel, to the world. According to them, it won't be long before he gets a sibling.
When asked if more children were in the future for Catherine and her hubby, she dished, "We want them to be close together. I’m not pregnant or anything, but it’s definitely important that we knock it out! My sisters and I are really close in age, and that’s something that I loved … experiencing a lot of the same things. So we’re hoping that the next one just gets to be best friends with Samuel. … [I’ll probably get pregnant] early next year, in the next 6 to 8 months."
If anyone still wonders whether or not these two are ready to give having a baby another go, Sean added, "2017 or 2018 is a fair bet we’ll have another kid come along!"
10 Kaley Cuco and Karl Cooke
Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco and her main squeeze, professional equestiran Karl Cook, are simply the cutest. She's admitted she loves to wear maternity clothes and told ET's Carly Steel, "Is it weird that I want to wear these clothes? Is that weird? In the largest size possible? It does give you a little bit of baby fever! Everyone is so cute, everyone looks so adorable, hard not to."
Sounds like Kaley is ready to have a baby in her tummy. She seems to be head-over-heels for her new beau, and completely over her painful divorce from tennis player, Ryan Sweeting. Cuoco opened up about the end of her marriage on the Ellen DeGeneres Show last year. She admitted, “You know, it’s been rough, but things are going good. I’m much, much better now. I’m in a much better place than I was.”
A source close to the couple told People magazine that they are "really happy." The two were recently observed snuggling up on a first class flight, and an onlooker shared, “They looked very much like a loving couple. He was in the aisle seat, eyes closed and head back, and she was gently nuzzling her face into his arm.” Aw. Alright, you two. Time to make a baby.
9 Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are the amazingly adorable parents to a sweet little one-year-old son named Silas. They aren't afraid to share with the world how much they love each other, and a recent public display of affection that took place between the two definitely got the baby-to-be rumor mill a-churning.
A photo of Justin with his hands on Jess's belly was snapped at a Los Angeles Lakers game, and suddenly the whole world was sure the two were expecting. Ellen DeGeneres decided to get in on the fun. When Jessica appeared on her show, the two called Justin, who was chillin' at home with the couple's son, whipping up some sweet potato fries. Justin told Ellen that Silas was the "King of the House" to which Ellen responded, "Speaking of the house, there's going to be a Queen of the House," DeGeneres joked, "We're here to tell you—surprise!—and her name is going to be Ellen."
Timberlake took the news like a true pro, and promptly responded, "Oh, I can't wait to find out whose it is!" All jokes aside, Jess and Justin are too good looking and amazing and funny and great not to procreate. No one would be even a little bit mad if they had, like, 100 more kids.
8 Chris Pratt and Anna Faris
Actress Anna Faris and her hilarious husband, Chris Pratt are two of the most likable people on the plant. They're funny, sweet and so freaking cute. Not to mention, their son, Jack is pretty much the most adorable little guy we've ever laid eyes on. Despite their talent for making beautiful babies together, Faris and Pratt have yet to have another child. She
When asked if the two planned to have more children, Faris shared, "We both love kids, Chris and I have both dreamed about having a big family...But I didn’t love pregnancy … I was just bored. I was uncomfortable at times, and Jack came early. He came two months early, so now I’m in a high-risk pregnancy category, but I would love to.”
Time will tell if Faris and Pratt will welcome another baby to the world. If they do, we will be thrilled beyond belief. If they don't, at least they hit the kid lottery the first time around.
7 Channing and Jenna Tatum
Jenna Dewan-Tatum and her husband Channing Tatum are the parents of a darling daughter named Everly. They are known for doting on their baby girl, and we really hope another lucky baby joins their brood in the near future. According to an anonymous insider, our wish may be granted before the year is out.
A source, who claims to be close to the pair, recently spilled to Life & Style, "They are definitely ready for another baby. Jenna has explained to Channing that he will always be busy, and there will never be a 'right time.'"
On what Jenna hopes for, the insider continued, "She wants to get pregnant in 2017 and give Everly a sibling to play with. This time, they're hoping for a boy!" If this source can be trusted, it sounds like it won't be long before this ridiculously good looking couple brings another charming child into the world. Hallelujah.
6 Carrie Underwood and Mike Fischer
Country crooner Carrie Underwood and her man, professional hockey player Mike Fisher, have a two-year-old son, Isaiah, together. When asked if another baby was a part of their future, Carrie shared, "It’s all on God’s timing and we just kind of realize we’re not in control and just take things as they come."
Little Isaiah has tagged along with his mom on her Storyteller Tour, and the blonde bombshell is loving every minute of it. She recently gushed, “The tour has been absolutely amazing. Isaiah’s been there the whole way so [my professional life and personal life are] all colliding. Every day he does something new, so every day is wonderful with him.”
Underwood and Fisher are one of those couples who seem pretty much rock solid. The adoration they feel for each other, and their son, is apparent. If they do decide the time is right to have another little one soon, all of us will be thrilled.
5 Fergie and John Duhamel
According to a source close to Fergie and her man Josh Duhamel, the couple is ready to try for baby number two and give their 3-year-old son, Axl, a little brother or sister. The insider shared, "They’ve been talking about trying for a second baby. Fergie's face lights up whenever she talks about what a good father Josh is."
44-year-old Duhamel and 41-year-old Fergie have been married for 8 years, and seem ready to add another member to their beautiful brood. The inside source also revealed that Josh has always longed for a big family, and that both he and his lady would be over-the-moon if they had a baby girl.
Sounds like the time is right for these two to bring another baby into the world. We'll just have to wait and see if Fergie will add a baby bump to her lovely lady lumps in the near future.
4 Prince William and Kate Middleton
It's no secret that Prince William and his elegant wife, the Duchess of Cambridge are the parents of two young children: a son named George and a daughter named Charlotte. The classy couple is planning to move back to London this year and to increase their royal workload.
Many have speculated that with George turning 3 and starting school, the time is right for the posh pair to add another royal baby to their clan. In fact, many have placed bets on Kate getting pregnant again before the close of 2017.
Some may be sure the couple will bring another baby into the world, but a source close to the couple disagrees. The insider has shared, “They have got a boy and a girl. There is a sense that their family is now complete and they are moving onto the next chapter in their lives." Time will tell if the world's favorite royal family is indeed complete, or if another little darling will be added to their beautiful brood in the near future.
3 Megan Fox and Brian Austin Greene
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have three sons together: Noah, Bodhi and Journey. Fox's third pregnancy was announced after the two had filed for divorce, but the couple reconciled before the baby was born. It seems these two can't live without each other, and we're excited that they've decided to give their romance another go. A source close to the couple has shared that they don't want their boys being raised in a broken home.
Fox and Green make babies with apparent ease. Plus, they are two of the best looking people on the plant. It would be just peachy if they brought another baby into the world within the next 12 months. Good news! Due to their past baby-making record, this scenario is very likely.
Fox once shared with People magazine, “I’m always in the process of having a baby and looking like I didn’t have a baby."
2 Katelyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth
Former Bachelorette star, Kaitlyn Bristowe, and her love Shawn Booth recently had Bachelor Nation buzzing after Bristowe posted a fake pregnancy announcement in which she shared that Shawn was expecting.
She jokingly shared the fake news after many fans made fun of the way she was holding her fiance's stomach in a previously posted Instagram pic. Bristowe wrote, "Since everyone was getting their panties in a knot over my hand placement, (totally reasonable you guys) we have decided to share some really exciting news. SHAWN B IS WITH CHILD. Baby Boothstowe is due April 1st 2017. We can't wait to meet him or her!!!"
All jokes aside, Bristowe recently opened up about her desire to have a family, and the decision she has made to freeze her eyes. She shared on Good Morning America, "This puts my mind at ease for when I'M ready. I think a lot of women feel pressure to have kids, especially when you get engaged—'When's the wedding?' and 'When are you gonna have babies?' And for me, I'm like, I don't want that pressure on myself."
It sounds like the couple has babies on their brains, and we'd love it if Baby Boothstowe became a reality in the near future.
1 Kimye
A recent Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode showed doctors giving Kim Kardashian West the devastating news that, due to complications with her past pregnancies, it was too dangerous for her to become pregnant for a third time.
Kim said of the news, "Not only has this been really painful, but now hearing that I can't carry any more kids, it couldn't get any worse. I mean, f--k, like I really tried everything and I really want this and it's just not going to happen for me." While Kim was wary of going the surrogacy route in order to have another child at first, she has since become more open to the idea and shared, “I feel like that's my reality. I feel like surrogacy really is the only other option for me."
Kim also recently commented, "Kanye has been mentioning [having another baby] every single day lately for the past 10 days." Sounds like this power couple is ready to have another child, whatever they have to do.
