Although not always talked about, miscarriages are incredibly common — and even celebrities are not immune. But sometimes, after the storm comes, a rainbow baby is conceived after a loss to help bring light and hope into their parents' world. Even 2020, which has been a pretty tough year for everyone all around, has had some of these bright spots. The celebrity rainbow babies of 2020 obviously are such sweet additions to the stars' families, but it's also fun for us to see things go right for a bit.
Here's a roundup of celebs who gave birth after a miscarriage — or are expecting a rainbow baby in 2020.

The Orange Is the New Black star and her actor husband welcomed their second child in February after experiencing a loss in 2018.

"We were told the pregnancy would not go to full term and that my body was at risk carrying any longer." After that devastating news, it's wonderful to see her so happy with her newborn son.

When actors Anna Wood and Dane DeHaan welcomed their second child, a boy named Bert Apollo DeHaan, they revealed that he was a rainbow baby. As Anna wrote on Instagram, "Not just because of the loss we suffered before we conceived him. He also brings a hope and joy in this scary sad time for our nation and world. He was born weeks early in NYC in the middle of a global pandemic."
We're glad that mom and baby are OK.
