10 Celebrity Couple Pregnancies Nobody Saw Coming


Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the most jaw-dropping baby news in Hollywood that seemed to come out of nowhere.


#10: Charlie Puth & Brooke Sansone

The “Attention” singer has had his fair share of messy relationships in the public eye. However, Charlie Puth found his forever with his childhood friend, Brooke Sansone. They’ve been a pair since 2022, and the following year, they got engaged. Things moved at a steady pace, and in 2024, Brooke became Mrs Puth. Fans were worried about their marital bliss being interrupted when Bella Thorne, to whom he was linked in 2016, claimed in July 2025 that he lied about her because she didn’t want to be intimate with him. The comment caused a stir on social media, but clearly didn’t affect the Puths. Soon after the controversy, the couple announced they were expecting in the music video for his song “Changes”.


#9: Keke Palmer & Darius Jackson

In December 2022, the “Nope” star made her hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live”. Fans were expecting an unforgettable night, filled with big laughs and her unmatched energy. What they did not see coming was a pregnancy reveal. Keke Palmer was glowing when she showed off her baby bump to roaring applause. Her sharing this news was particularly special because the actress usually keeps her personal life under wraps. Keke’s son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson, was born in 2023. Unfortunately, her relationship with the father of her child, her then-boyfriend, fitness instructor Darius Jackson, soured soon after Leo’s birth. The “Password” host accused him of domestic violence, but the pair are reportedly co-parenting their son now.


#8: Daniel Radcliffe & Erin Darke

Millions of fans around the world associate the “Harry Potter” actor with their childhood. Perhaps that was why, when he became a father, it came as a sudden, albeit pleasant surprise. Daniel Radcliffe and his girlfriend, actress Erin Darke, welcomed their son in April 2023. In an interview with Extra after the little one’s birth, Radcliffe called fatherhood “the best thing that's ever happened”. While the family of three rarely makes public appearances together, baby Radcliffe was seen picketing with his parents at a SAG-AFTRA strike when he was only a couple of months old. How iconic!


#7: Robert Pattinson & Suki Waterhouse

The “Twilight” alum has played an incredibly diverse range of characters in his career. However, the eternally young Edward Cullen will always have a special place in fans’ hearts. The thought of the former teen heartthrob being a dad would make anyone pause and reflect on the passage of time. That’s what happened in 2023, when Pattinson’s then-girlfriend, singer Suki Waterhouse, revealed that she was expecting their first child while performing at Mexico City’s Corona Capital Festival. He popped the question in December that year, and in March 2024, their daughter was born. Needless to say, both Robert and Suki are doting parents.


#6: Pete Davidson & Elsie Hewitt

Ever since he started dating Ariana Grande, the “SNL” alum’s love life has been under heavy public scrutiny. When they parted ways, the attention grew. Pete was then linked to some high-profile women like Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley, Kaia Gerber, Phoebe Dynevor, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, Chase Sui Wonders, and Madelyn Cline. Then, in March 2025, the “Meet Cute” actor found love with model and influencer Elsie Hewitt. Months later, they were expecting their first child. With fatherhood being a lifelong dream for Davidson, fans knew he would embrace the role sooner or later. They just didn’t think it would happen so soon. According to Us Weekly, the couple is reportedly living together and is excited beyond measure for this new chapter of their lives.


#5: Cardi B & Stefon Diggs

The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker’s marriage to rapper Offset, with whom she shares three children, was riddled with cheating allegations. She filed for divorce from him twice, and their on-again, off-again relationship seemingly ended for good in 2024. On Valentine’s Day the following year, Cardi B stepped out with NFL star Stefon Diggs, though they didn’t make things official until June. Cut to September, and the Grammy winner was pregnant with Stefon’s child! Fans did not expect things to move this fast for the couple, but they showered them with support nonetheless.


#4: John Mulaney & Olivia Munn

As happy as this couple is, they got a bit of a cold shoulder from netizens when they started dating. In May 2021, John Mulaney’s now ex-wife, Anna Marie Tendler, confirmed that he had called it quits with her. Days later, People magazine reported that he had allegedly moved on with actress Olivia Munn. In September 2021, amid speculation that the comedian had been unfaithful to Tendler, he shockingly announced that Olivia was pregnant with their child. The little bundle of joy, Malcolm, arrived in November. The couple waited until 2024 to tie the knot and in September that year, welcomed a daughter named Méi via surrogate. With how they gush over each other, they seem to be going strong.


#3: Justin Bieber & Hailey Bieber

Since rising to fame as a teenager, JB’s love life has been prime tabloid fodder. His marriage to Hailey Bieber is no exception. They were first linked in 2014, dated for some time, and split in 2016, only to get back together in 2018. Their whirlwind second act led to marriage that same year. However, the public’s fascination with their relationship did not fade. Rumors of discord were rampant, and the Rhode founder once told Harper's Bazaar that sustaining their marriage took ‘a lot of work’. So, when the pair announced in 2024 that they were expecting, fans were overjoyed. The news also put divorce rumors to rest, once and for all. Their son, Jack Blues Bieber, was born in August 2024.


#2: Rihanna & ASAP Rocky

These two are the definition of a power couple. RiRi and Rocky first met in 2012, got together in 2019, and have been inseparable since. In 2022, the “Diamonds” singer gave birth to their first son, RZA Athelston Mayers. Everyone knew the two musicians were made for each other, but few expected them to become parents so early into their relationship. The following year, the Fenty Beauty founder was pregnant again, and she flaunted her baby bump in style while performing at the Super Bowl halftime show in February. Their second baby boy, Riot, arrived in August. Their third pregnancy was revealed at another high-profile event: the 2025 Met Gala, and their first baby girl, Rocki, was born in September 2025. Talk about family goals.


#1: Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott

This ex-couple’s love story seemingly started in 2017. She had just broken up with Tyga, and was spotted with Travis at Coachella. By September that year, word on the street was that the pair were not only dating, but were also expecting! For the next few months, King Kylie disappeared from the public eye. From using decoy cars to throw off the paparazzi to being absent from her famous family’s Christmas card, the young mom-to-be was determined to keep her pregnancy private. It was only after her daughter, Stormi Webster, was born, that she told the world about the, quote, ‘life-changing experience’, shocking everyone. The pair went on to have another child, a boy named Aire, in 2022, but reportedly parted ways the following year.
