Babies are on the way!

And some are already here. Every year, one of our favorite roundups to do is the list of well-known women who are expecting. The lists always start small and blossom to more than 30, 40 ladies by the end of the year.

To kickstart the list, we’ve gathered up big screen stars, football wives, the partners of hip-hop stars and more. Take a look at the who’s who of women, a growing list, set to give birth (and those who already did).

01
01 Wunmi Mosaku

The beauty and Sinners star is expecting her second child, sharing the good news on the red carpet of the Golden Globes in January. She’s reportedly married to talent agent Tash Moseley, and the two share a daughter.

02 Charmaine Bey

The influencer and former Black Ink Crew: Chicago star, whose relationship with husband Neek Bey first came to be on the show, announced in January that she is pregnant with their third child. This news is significant considering her struggle with Primary Ovarian Insufficiency and doctors telling her she should seek out donor eggs if she wanted to have another child. The couple share daughters Nola and Charlie.
