All the Celebrities Who Welcomed Babies in 2025
Last year was incredibly special for a lot of celebrity families. Many of them announced that they had babies on the way, and even more welcomed said bundles of joy! Now, in 2025, there are so many A-listers who have added little ones to their families. If the past couple of years are any indication, we have no doubt that there will be families entering the Two Under Two, babies adopted, and babies who are a complete surprise to the world. (Remember when Paris Hilton shocked fans twice in 2023, quietly welcoming both a son and a daughter.) We're sure there will be rainbow babies who are born, we have no doubt unique baby names will be given, and we'd even venture to guess there will be a home birth or two (planned or otherwise). No matter how or when these little bébés arrive, we can't wait to 'meet' them. (Even if that 'meeting' is just seeing a black-and-white photo of their little tootsies or teeny hand.) It never fails to put a smile on our faces, and so we're once again keeping tabs on all the celebrities who welcome babies in 2025.

Eminem's Daughter Hailie Jade Eminem became a grandpa (!!!) in March 2025 when his daughter Hailie Jade and her husband Evan McClintock welcomed the Real Slim Baby. (IYKYK.) 'Happy due date//3 weeks earthside little e 🤍,' Hailie captioned two photos of her son with a sign stating his name and birthday. Little Elliot Mathers McClintock was born on March 14. His name is so special given that Eminem's real name is Marshall Mathers and the initials 'EMM' are so perfect for the rapper's grandson. Thomas Kail & Michelle Williams A source told People in April that Thomas Kail and Michelle Williams welcomed a third child via surrogate earlier in the year. The director and the actress also share kids born in 2020 and 2022. In 2005, Williams welcomed daughter Matilda with actor Heath Ledger who tragically passed away three years later.

The Kelces also share daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett. Last year, Kylie announced her pregnancy with a photo of the girls wearing matching pink sweaters that said, 'Big Sister.' Wyatt was covering her ears and looking nervous, Elliotte was smiling, and Bennett was sobbing. 'I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister,' she wrote. 'At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page! 🤷♀️' Jennifer Lawrence Insiders told People that Jennifer Lawrence and her husband Cooke Maroney welcomed their second child around March 2025. The couple are also mom and dad to 3-year-old son Cy. Alex Morgan Soccer legend Alex Morgan and husband Servando Carrasco — who share a 4-year-old daughter Charlie (pictured) — welcomed Baby No. 2 in March. 'Soaking it all up right now. Welcome to the world baby Enzo🩵,' Morgan captioned a carousel of black-and-white photos of Enzo's little feet and tiny hand. Last year, ahead of her retirement, Morgan told SheKnows' Editor-in-Chief Erika Janes that she brings Charlie to games so she is constantly surrounded by 'really strong and resilient women.' '[I want her to just be] able to walk in any room anywhere and feel like she can stand tall and be confident.' She might not be a professional soccer player anymore, but we're sure Morgan will still look to surround Charlie and Enzo with 'really strong and resilient women.' Erin Lichy & Abe Lichy Real Housewives of New York City star Erin Lichy and Abe Lichy welcomed their fourth child, a son named Jack. They shared the news on Instagram with a photo of the mother-son duo with the caption reading, 'Jack Hunter Lichy 💙 #CrazyInLove.'

The announcement included three heartfelt black-and-white photos of the new parents and little Oscar. Sia Sia shocked fans in March 2025 when news broke that she secretly welcomed a child with her estranged husband Dan Bernad, per People. Baby Somersault Wonder Bernard joins Sia's two sons who she adopted after being moved by a 2016 documentary about the foster care system. A couple of years later, she found a teenage boy featured in the documentary and decided to adopt him. He asked if his 'cousin Che' from his group home could join. 'I had two spare bedrooms, so I said, 'Sure!'' the singer reportedly said. TJ Watt & Dani Watt Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end TJ Watt and his wife Dani welcomed their first child in early 2025. It's possible that baby Blakely Marie Watt was born after her due date since Dani captioned the March announcement, 'Worth The Wait.' When Dani announced her pregnancy back in September, she said Baby Watt would be here in February. 'Welcome to the world Blakely!!!!!' T.J.'s brother J.J. Watt commented. The little girl will have two baby cousins this year since both J.J. Watt and brother Derek Watt are expecting. Elon Musk & Shivon Zillis Elon Musk and Shivon Zillis have welcomed a fourth child together. 'Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia's birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus,' Zillis said on X, the app formerly known as Twitter.

Matt Leinart Retired NFL player Matt Leinart and actress Josie Leinart welcomed Baby No. 3 in Feb. 2025. '[She] was worth the wait,' the couple told People of baby Camila.

Milo Ventimiglia This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia and his wife Jarah Mariano welcomed their first baby in Jan. 2025, just a couple of weeks after losing their house in the devastating Los Angeles wildfire.

The couple gave their daughter a stunning Hawaiian name, Ke'ala, which means 'the path' and has connotations of moving forward. 'My family & I are together, happy, healthy & safe, which is truly all that matters,' Mariano continued. 'We are deeply grateful to all of the heroes who help battle fires, as well as care for everyone affected … This will be an extended process of rebuilding and grieving for many, but we are feeling optimistic & inspired to welcome all of the exciting newness of our fresh start!' Lily Collins & Charlie McDowell Lily Collins shocked everyone when she announced that her and husband Charlie McDowell welcomed a baby via surrogate on Jan. 31! The Emily in Paris star announced the birth of her daughter on Instagram, revealing a picture of the baby girl named Tove in an embroidered flower hat, tan onesie, and blanket embroidered with her name.

We love you to the moon and back again…' Amanda Seyfried commented, 'This is perfect. So so happy for you four 😍,' referring to her Instagram-famous dog named Redford. 'OMG!!!

After he won Bronze in the 100-meter backstroke, he saw Bridget in the crowd with a sign that said, 'RYAN It's a GIRL!'

' … Her Royal Highness and her daughter are healthy and doing well, and the family are enjoying spending time together with Athena's older siblings, Wolfie and Sienna.' The birth announcement seemed to go smoothly after Buckingham Palace made a spelling error when announcing Princess Beatrice's pregnancy back in October. Justin Reid & Marissa Rand Kansas City Chiefs star Justin Reid and his girlfriend Marissa Rand just weeks before the 2025 Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. 'It was a busy weekend for me,' the safety said during a press conference, per People. 'I had my baby girl which was the highlight, even better than the divisional win [against the Houston Texans]!'

After the couple announced the arrival of their second daughter, Kansas City's historic Union Station gave the three siblings a spectacular tribute. 'Tonight, we celebrate this special three-peat with our center arches illuminated in sterling silver, bronze and gold,' the train station's Instagram account captioned a photo of the building.

All the Best Celebrity Pregnancy Announcements of 2025

Of course, they trail just behind our endless love for birth announcements, but it's always so exciting to hear a bundle of joy is on the way.

Last year, we saw some priceless pregnancy announcements. Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Beatrice is expecting, Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade surprised her dad with the news while filming a music video, and Andie MacDowell's daughter Rainey Qualley had a hilarious (if risqué) announcement.
