Beyonce

Who could forget Beyonce’s unforgettable 2011 VMA performance of “Love on Top”? People went crazy over her vocals, but the world lost its mind when she ended the stomach by rubbing her stomach, letting the world know that there would be a mini-Bey in the very near future.

Jennifer Hudson

All you can ask for is a little privacy. We didn’t find out about JHud’s pregnancy until after her baby shower. That’s right—the superstar kept her bump under wraps until her family and friends had gotten the chance to quietly fawn over her… sans paparazzi. We would have to agree that sometimes, that’s the best way to do it!

The queen of reality TV has been documenting her fertility struggles ever since she gave birth to North West in 2013. She’s been trying desperately for baby number two ever since, and last night in a teaser for next week’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, it looks like she and her hubby Kanye got their wish! “I just got the blood test back, and I am pregnant!” Kim said to her sister Khloe in the clip. Congrats to the happy couple! Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ll be waiting over here patiently for the baby’s (sure to be one-of-a-kind) name.
