Last year was a big one for pregnant celebrities and stars with baby announcements. Just last fall, Hilary Swank revealed on Good Morning America that she is expecting not one but two (million dollar) babies. The 48-year-old Oscar winner’s twins will be her first children.
Blake Lively revealed her own pregnancy (her fourth) on the red carpet—her signature move, at this point—while Keke Palmer opted to share the news on live television. The 29-year-old memorably tore her coat open to reveal her pregnant belly while hosting Saturday Night Live in December. And let’s not forget, it was only last year that Rihanna confirmed she was expecting her first child with rapper A$AP Rocky (with an instantly iconic photoshoot, no less).
And 2023 is already shaping up to be just as big for pregnant celebrities. While not all celebrity pregnancy announcements are as splashy as RiRi’s, that doesn’t mean they’re any less exciting. Here are all the celebrities who have announced in 2023 that they’re expecting.

Kit Harington and Rose Leslie
The Game of Thrones couple is preparing for their second baby. Kit Harington announced the news on February 3 during an appearance on The Tonight Show, revealing that their son is “about to get the shock of his life” when they welcome his “brother or sister.”
“I’m terrified,” the actor said. “You know, with the first baby you’re like walking on clouds and dancing through fields of daisies for nine months — well, the man is anyway. But this time, the reality check comes much shorter. You get practical real quick.”
Harington and Leslie got married in June 2020 and welcomed their first child around February 2021. “We’re trying to get him ready for [the new baby],” Harington continued. “We point to Rose’s tummy and we say, ‘Mommy’s baby, mommy’s baby.’ And he points to his tummy and goes, ‘My baby.’ I’m quite sure that’s—yeah, you’ll know soon enough.”
