The news about someone we know giving birth to a child always brings us joy. When this someone is a certain celebrity we love and admire, the news becomes even more joyful because we want to know as much as possible about the way this celebrity is handling the pregnancy, childbirth, and all that good parenting stuff. After all, any famous mommy is, well, just a mommy. She has all the same issues, like we all do, when we carry, deliver, and bring up a child.

This year has been filled with exciting pregnancy and childbirth announcements from celebrities. We had three members of the Kardashian-Jenner family give birth to their babies, as well as two Victoria's Secret angels, and the universally loved Chrissy Teigen and John Legend! And guess what? This year is not over yet, so we're likely to hear even more news about popular actresses, models, singers, and other celebs welcoming brand new human beings to this world. But enough small talk; let's recall 20 famous women who became mommies in 2018, as well as five more who are going to give birth very soon! And while we're at it, who do we think is gonna be next to expecting child?

25 Chrissy Teigen & John Legend

By the end of 2017, the fans of Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were excited to learn that the model was expecting their second child. And in May, they were even more excited, because they saw her tweet "Somebody’s herrrrrrre!" added by baby bottle emojis that could mean nothing but the fact that their baby was born!

So now Chrissy and John's 2-year-old daughter Luna Simone is a big sister, who has to help her mommy look after her baby brother. I'm sure that she's going to be great at it because she has been preparing for this important role for months!

24 Brooklyn Decker & Andy Roddick

This January, actress Brooklyn Decker and her husband, former tennis star Andy Roddick, welcomed their baby daughter. The baby girl was named Stevie, and she is the second child for the famous couple. Their first baby, a son, was born in 2015.

Announcing the news, Decker posted a photo on her social media page and wrote, "A newborn, a toddler, a dog in a cone, a dog with a tumor but I'm having a good hair day so it's fine we're fine I'm fine."

The actress' hair definitely looks good!

23 Rachel McAdams & Jamie Linden

Back in February, it had been confirmed that Rachel McAdams and her boyfriend, writer Jamie Linden, were expecting their first child together. But since the actress has remained out of the spotlight for some time now, many people don't know the details of her happy news, but we shouldn't be too surprised since they are a very private couple.

But back in March, People magazine reported that the actress became a mother of a baby boy. Even though we still don't know any more details about her baby boy, there's no doubt that he's loved by both parents.

22 Hilarie Burton & Jeffrey Dean Morgan

In March, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton were happy to announce the birth of their second daughter George Virginia. The couple was hiding Hilarie's pregnancy for some time because she was cautious about it. The actress shared that they had been attempting to have the second child for years.

"I didn't want to celebrate for fear of jinxing it. I didn't want a baby shower. I checked her heartbeat every day, up until the day she was born. And now that she is here, I just stare at her in wonder all day," Hilarie wrote in her social media post.

21 Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, Kylie Jenner, announced her pregnancy at the end of 2017, and in February she gave birth to her and boyfriend Travis Scott's daughter.

They named their baby girl Stormi Webster.

While Jenner was pregnant, she took an unusual approach (for herself) and decided not to share too much with her fans, like she normally does. When the baby girl was born, she apologized for her absence and wrote, "I understand you're used to me bringing you along on all my journeys. My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world."

20 Candice Swanepoel & Hermann Nicoli

In 2015, Candice Swanepoel, a Victoria's Secret angel, got engaged to her long-time boyfriend Hermann Nicoli, who also works as a model in Brazil. And in 2016 the couple welcomed their first son, Anaca. This year, they were happy to welcome a second child, also a boy, who was named Ariel.

When the baby boy was born, Candice announced the news on her social media, letting her fans see the photo of her little one's fingers and part of his head, with the caption "Blessed."

19 Behati Prinsloo & Adam Levine

Another Victoria Secret Angel, Behati Prinsloo also became a mom of two this year! The model and her husband, Adam Levine from famous band Maroon 5, shared the exciting news in February and announced that they named their second daughter Rio Grace. So the couple's first daughter, Dusty Rose, who was born in September 2016, is now a big sister. What a happy family!

It's funny that when Prinsloo shared the first photos of her baby girl on social media, she commented that "she's got her dad's toes." Gotta love these two!

18 Christina Perri & Paul Costabile

Famous singer Christina Perri and her husband Paul Costabile shared the news about the birth of their first baby in the beginning of this year. They named their little daughter Carmella Stanley. Such a beautiful name!

To make the announcement, the singer shared a photo on her social media and wrote, "Our little angel, Carmella Stanley Costabile, she arrived perfectly on January 17th, everyday with her has been the best day," and added: "She is always smiling. She is pure joy & magic. We are so blessed & so in love!"

17 Rachel Weisz & Daniel Craig

The baby of Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig, who have been married since 2011, is the most recent one on this list. On September 1st the couple welcomed their baby daughter, who is their first child together. Both actors also have children from previous marriages. Craig has a 26-year-old daughter from his ex-wife Fiona Loudon, and Weisz has a 12-year-old son with Darren Aronofsky.

Since the famous couple has always been very private about their personal life, we don't know much details about their newborn, but with parents like James Bond and Rachel Weisz, what's not to like?

16 Kim Kardashian & Kanye West

Unlike other celebrity mommies on this list, Kim Kardashian didn't give birth to her and Kanye West's third child. Instead, she decided to use the services of a surrogate mother. The famous couple named their daughter Chicago West, after the city where Kanye was born.

A day after her birth, Kardashian made an announcement, saying "Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl." The celebrity also thanked their surrogate mother, as well as all doctors and nurses, who made their baby daughter's birth happen and added, "We're so in love."

15 Lyndsy Fonseca & Noah Bean

Remember the daughter of Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother? Throughout the entire sitcom she and her younger brother were sitting on the couch listening to a long story of how their dad met their mom. Time goes by really fast, though and now Lyndsy Fonseca, the actress who played the daughter, has her own daughter!

Lyndsy gave birth to a baby girl in February and shared the big news with her fans on social media just days later. "Our hearts are bursting. #IAmFinallyAMom," the actress wrote and shared a photo of her little daughter.

14 Miranda Kerr & Evan Spiegel

Model Miranda Kerr and Snap Inc CEO Evan Spiegel tied the knot last year, and soon after they announced that they were expecting their first child together. Their baby boy named Hart was born in May. The couple chose this name to pay tribute to Spiegel's grandfather.

In a statement the couple released later, they shared, "Words cannot explain how happy we are to welcome our beautiful son into our family. Miranda is doing well and Flynn is excited to be a big brother. Thank you for the kind words and wishes during this very special time."

13 Khloé Kardashian & Tristan Thompson

Khloé Kardashian gave birth to a baby daughter in the beginning of April. For the reality TV celebrity, True is her first child, but for the father of her child, basketball player Tristan Thompson, she's his second child (first daughter). The baby girl received the adorable name True Thompson.

Kardashian announced the exciting news over social media a few days after she was born. "Our little girl, True Thompson, has completely stolen our hearts and we are over-whelmed with LOVE. Such a blessing to welcome this angel into the family! Mommy and Daddy loooooove you True!" she wrote.

12 Rebecca Ferguson

This July, shortly before the premiere of Mission Impossible: Fallout, where Rebecca Ferguson starred, she gave birth to her second child: a baby daughter. The actress was spotted with her newborn in Paris and later had her representative confirm that she became a happy mommy.

Ferguson already has a 11-year-old son Isaac with her with ex-boyfriend Ludwig Hallberg. Unlike some of the others on this list, we don't know the name of her newborn baby daughter's father. He is apparently not in the spotlight and she's doing a good job keeping it that way.

11 Eva Longoria & Jose Antonio Bastón

Former Desperate Housewife, Eva Longoria, welcomed her first child with José Bastón in June. They named the baby boy Santiago Enrique Bastón and shared the news with Hola! USA. The actress and her husband of two years said, "We are so grateful for this beautiful blessing." I mean, just look at how sweetly she cradles her baby boy in the photo above! Although this is Eva's first child, it's easy to see he's the apple of her eye. Move aside, José!

10 Kirsten Dunst & Jesse Plemons

Kirsten Dunst and her fiance Jesse Plemons, who started dating in 2016, welcomed their first child in May. According to a source, the couple of actors are now happy parents of a baby boy named Ennis Howard Plemons.

However, just some time before announcing her pregnancy, the actress shared that she finally started thinking about having kids. "I wasn’t one of those ‘I need a baby!’ people until my goddaughter was born. I love her so much. That love is just like … you can’t experience that unless you have a kid," Kirsten said.

9 America Ferrera & Ryan Piers Williams

America Ferrera and Ryan Piers Williams have been together for more than 10 years, but only this year the couple of actors welcomed their first son into this world.

They named the baby boy Sebastian and to share the exciting news with her fans, Ferrera made a post, saying "When 2 become 3... Welcome Sebastian Piers Williams - aka Baz! Mom, Dad, and Baby are happy, healthy and totally in love!". The caption accompanied a photo of their son's tiny foot in their hands. So sweet!

8 Brigitte Nielsen & Mattia Dessi

Despite being 54 years old, actress Brigitte Nielsen successfully gave birth to a baby daughter this June! This is the actress' fifth child (she has four sons from her previous marriages) and her first daughter. She named her Frida and announced that she's happy and excited to be a mommy again.

Nielsen and her husband Mattia Dessi shared with People magazine, "We are overjoyed to welcome our beautiful daughter into our lives. It’s been a long road, and so worth it. We’ve never been more in love."

7 Claire Danes & Hugh Dancy

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy welcomed a baby boy in August. Their newborn son became a little brother to their 5-year-old son Cyrus Michael Christopher. When the actress was asked what Cyrus thought about an idea of being a big brother, she answered that he was "excited and showing a little ambivalence too."

Unlike her previous pregnancy, when Danes had to keep on working on the set of Homeland, this time she managed to take a break. The actress told People, "This feels like a huge gift, to have a chance to kick my feet up a little bit."

6 Haylie Duff & Matt Rosenberg

Actress and Cooking Channel star Haylie Duff gave birth to her second child with Matt Rosenberg in June. The happy parents called their baby daughter Lulu Gray.
