Despite what the tabloid magazines claim, celebrities really aren't like the rest of us. We don't have glam squads, ninja-level Photoshop skills, or access to private jets. Most of us aren't carrying Gucci diaper bags or scheduling hairstylists for post-childbirth photo shoots. No shade — just keeping it real because most of us are a little more Target and a little less Rodeo Drive. But there is one thing that is a great equalizer between pregnant celebrites and pregnant ordinary people — cravings!
OK, well, maybe morning sickness is an equalizer too, but most celebrities aren't giving cheerful interviews to describe their morning sickness (probably a good thing). Weird pregnancy cravings, though? That is a superfun topic of conversation for most pregnant people, including famous moms-to-be.
While many details of a pregnancy are deeply personal and not something that people want to share with an audience, pregnancy cravings feel like fair game for lighthearted public discussion. And it turns out that there are plenty of stars who have been happy to share the foods they just couldn't get enough of. And it turns out that pregnant celebrities have weird cravings that run the gamut from salty to sweet to spicy. So maybe stars really are just like us after all!
Gigi Hadid's Bagel Obsession
Hilary Duff Gets Grilling
Pregnancy cravings can be annoying, but they can also inspire some culinary creativity. Hilary Duff discovered an interesting new take on the classic grilled cheese sandwich: Keep the bread and butter but swap out the cheese for peanut butter and jelly. Sweet, salty, buttery, and full of carbs? What's not to love?
Kim Kardashian Chows on Cheese
Kim Kardashian famously doesn't love being pregnant, but one thing she couldn't get enough of when she was expecting daughter North was cheese. Cheese in all its glorious forms, including the always delicious delicacy of chili cheese fries. She also indulged her sweet tooth with Krispy Kreme donuts.
Kourtney Kardashian Goes for a Classic
In addition to a recurring pregnancy craving for Nilla Wafers, mom-of-three Kourtney Kardashian also loved a little bit of a pregnancy cliché: pickles. More specifically, she loved ordering cheese and pickle sandwiches, even though everyone thought they were "gross."
Natalie Portman's Classy Craving
Natalie Portman is one of those women who just always seems so effortlessly elegant, even when she's pregnant. It makes sense that her pregnancy cravings with son Aleph were far classier than the whole pickles-and-ice-cream situation. Instead, she craved cream puffs. Ooh la la!
Carrie Underwood Gets Popping
Country star and American Idol alum Carrie Underwood was singing a sweet tune when it came to her pregnancy cravings with her first child. She shared with celebrity chef Rachael Ray that she even revisted a snack treat she hadn't has since college — the humble Pop-Tart!
Laura Prepon Hits the Deli
Orange Is the New Black and That '70s Show star Laura Prepon was one of those pregnant people whose cravings took a turn toward the salty and savory. During an interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan, she shared that she was a big fan of food from a deli, like pastrami on rye, heavy on the mustard!
