One of the best parts of getting to the end of the year is being able to take a few moments to think about all the good things that happened in the last 12 months. As people who love both babies AND celebrity gossip, we're always excited when some of our favorite singers, actors, and athletes grow their beautiful families. And, let's be honest, we also loving hearing the newest additions to the universe of sometimes wacky celebrity baby names!
A bumper crop of celebrity babies was born this year, including one celebrity dad welcoming baby #10 and another who became a dad at the ripe old age of 83 (not sure if that is more impressive or alarming, really). Although it is too soon to guess which of the 2023 births will lead to the next generation of famous nepo babies, we're pretty sure that at least one of these chubby-cheeked cuties will be famous in their own right someday!

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker
After facing challenges getting pregnant and then an emergency fetal surgery in September, there is no doubt Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker must have been thrilled to welcome son Rocky Thirteen on November 1. No pictures of the baby have been released yet, but we're all hoping mom and baby are doing well.
Paris Hilton and Carter Reum
Paris Hilton became a mom for the first and second time in 2023. She and husband Carter Reum welcomed two babies (born via surrogate) this year. Son Phoenix was born in January, and his little sister, London, arrived in November.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
Another celebrity duo that welcomed two babies this year is Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. Daughter Esti was born in January, and then son Wren arrived, via surrogate, in June. Don't tell the other celebrity babies, but we think little Wren might have the best cheeks in the famous baby game at the moment.
Philip and Tiffany Rivers
Philip Rivers, who retired from the National Football League in 2021 after 17 seasons as a quarterback, and his wife, Tiffany, are all too familiar with the excitement of having a new baby. Tiffany gave birth to their 10th child in 2023, a little boy who arrived in October.
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian
Looks like Serena Williams might have a future doubles team on her hands. In August, the GOAT of tennis welcomed her second child, making daughter Olympia a big sister. The new baby is another girl, named Adira River Ohanian.

Karlie Kloss and Jared Kushner
Karlie Kloss is a model mama for the second time. She and husband Jared Kushner, who she married in 2018, now have two sons, thanks to the arrival of Elijah Jude in July 2023. No word on whether her former bestie Taylor Swift sent a gift or not.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky
Although celebs love to dramatically reveal a bump on the red carpet, nobody had a more epic pregnancy reveal in 2023 than Rihanna. She famously showed off her belly during her February Super Bowl half-time show, which was almost as exciting as the game itself! Son Riot (and there is a one of those baby names that only a celeb can pull off) was born in August.
Lindsay Lohan and Bader Shammas
After having some tumultuous years and surviving the transition from child star into adulthood, it was great to see Lindsay Lohan glowing in 2023. She became a first-time mom in July with the birth of son Luai, who was born in Dubai, where the actress has lived since 2014.
Bonnie Wright and Andrew Lococo
A new wizard might be on the scene! Harry Potter star Bonnie Wright (who starred as Ginny in all of the films) happily shared that she and husband Andrew had their first child in September. Their little guy is named Elio Ocean Wright Lococo. We hope he gets her gorgeous red hair.
Daniel Radcliffe and Erin Drake
Bonnie Wright's babe wasn't the only Harry Potter newcomer of the year. Daniel Radcliffe and his long-term girlfriend Erin Drake also had a son in 2023. Their baby boy was born sometime in the spring, but the private star hasn't reveal many details, so the name is still under wraps.
Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson
The relationship between Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson has ended since the birth of their son (cutie pie Leo) and we're glad she's kicked Jackson to the curb, given the allegations he has been abusive. She has an order of protection against Jackson and temporary sole custody of the baby, who was born in February.
Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah
Some people hit the age of 83 and look forward to having great-grandchildren. Al Pacino hit 83 in 2023 and became a father again. He and Noor Alfallah (who is 29 years old) had a little boy named Roman in June. It was their first child together and Pacino's fourth child.
Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen
If Al Pacino wants to start an "old guys with new babies" club, he can just call Robert De Niro to become a founding member. De Niro, who is 80, had his seventh baby in 2023, this one with current girlfriend Tiffany Chen. The pair had a little girl named Gia in April.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds tend to keep news about their family pretty private, so we don't know much about their fourth child, who is believed to have arrived in very early 2023. Fingers crossed that Taylor Swift will eventually reveal the name in a song, which seems possible given that she's used the names of the couple's other children in some of her songs.
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank
There was a new king on the throne and another little royal joining the line of succession in England in 2023. Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank had their second son, named Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, in May.
Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell may seem ageless, and perhaps becoming a mom again at the age of 53 is helping to keep her young. The supermodel became a mom for the first time in 2021 when she announced the arrival of her daughter. In 2023, she announced that she'd welcomed a son. She has not released the names of either of the children or shared photos yet.
Hilary Swank and Philip Schneider
Hilary Swank waited a long time to become a mom, but she was doubly blessed in 2023! The actress, who was 48 when she became a first-time mom, gave birth to twins (a boy and a girl) in April. She has not yet disclosed names for the little ones.
Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey
Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey's relationship has been totally on the fast track. The pair met in April 2022 and announced that they were expecting a baby just six months later. Their daughter, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, was born in March 2023, just shy of the first anniversary of Kaley and Tom meeting for the first time.
Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara
Singer Meghan Trainor released a song called "Mother" in 2022 that was panned by critics and didn't end up being a big hit. She had better luck in 2023 when she became a literal mother again. Her second son, Barry Bruce, was born in July.
Tan France and Rob France
Queer Eye star Tan France and his husband, Rob, welcomed their second son, a little peanut named Isaac in May. The reality star shared that "He completes our little family perfectly. And a huge thank you to our incredible warrior of a surrogate, for giving us the greatest gift one could ever give."
