When it comes to celebrity gossip, there are three kinds of stories that are always big news. We are all basically obsessed with celebrity hookups and breakups. And because we are so nosy, we are doubly obsessed when a celebrity hookup leads to a breakup. To paraphrase the Marie Kondo meme, we do love a mess. In the third spot is celebrity baby news, which is probably the most wholesome gossip we can obsess about!
Some celebrities do their best to keep their pregnancy a secret or a largely private event, which we can totally respect. Everybody deserves the chance to make choices for themselves when it comes to pregnancy, but we can't help but get a little excited when some of our favorite celebs decide to share pictures of their growing bumps.
Whether the pictures are from full-glam, art-directed photo shoots (we see you, Queen B!) or are the kind of mirror selfies that even us mere mortals can pull off, there is nothing quite like a bump photo to remind us that, at the end of the day, celebrities are human, too. Even if they all somehow seem to manage to avoid getting stretch marks — not that we're jealous (we're totally jealous).
Read on for our roundup of 16 of the most memorable celebrity baby bump pictures ever.

There were a lot of downsides to spending most of 2020 in a global pandemic. For celebrities wanting to have a secret pregnancy, however, it was an amazing time. Actress Amanda Seyfried was one of them who pulled it off and didn't share her bump photo until after she gave birth to daughter Nina in October 2020.

We've rarely been as moved by a bump photo as we were by this one from Chrissy Teigen. After the tragic loss of their son Jack, Chrissy and husband John Legend are expecting again. As she shared on Instagram, this the next chapter of a long journey:
"The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again. One billion shots later, we have another on the way. Every appointment I've said to myself, 'Ok if it's healthy today I'll announce,' but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I'm just too nervous still. I don't think I'll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I'm feeling hopeful and amazing."
