Kelly Rowland's 'Daddy & Me' Sneakers
Early in June, Beyonce's BFF Kelly Rowland let the world know she was pregnant with a cute Instagram photo of "big" and "little" sneakers. The former Destiny's Child star wrote alongside the pic: "I'll be stuntin' like my Daddy."
Beyonce's Shocking Baby Bump Reveal
Of course, Rowland's pregnancy was incredibly sweet, but it certainly didn't supersede Beyonce's, which, at the risk of sounding ridiculous, may have been the most epic celeb pregnancy announcement of all time.
After performing "Love on Top" at the 2011 MTV VMAs, Bey opened up her sparkly jacket, revealing her baby bump to the world, giving her belly a loving rub. The camera immediately cut to Jay Z, who couldn't have looked more ecstatic. Truly an incredibly sweet moment.
Stacy Keibler's Literal 'Bun in the Oven'
Shortly after secretly marrying boyfriend Jared Pobre in Mexico, George Clooney's former flame announced that she was expecting with a delicious pun: A bun in the oven.
Keibler wrote: "Look what we've got cooking! A Bun'dle of love!" Cute and clever.
Jennifer Lopez's On-Stage Announcement
During a concert in 2007 in Miami, Jennifer Lopez proclaimed, "Marc and I are expecting a baby!" Her then-husband lovingly rubbed her belly. However, Lopez didn't spill all the details of her pregnancy on stage, as she wound up having twins!
Busy Philipps' Positive Pregnancy Test
The thing that made Cougar Town actress Busy Philipps' pregnancy announcement so memorable was that it was so ... real. There was no canned "We're so thrilled to announce" statement to Us Weekly. Philipps simply posted a photo of her positive pregnancy test, along with the blunt caption: "So, this happened."
Pete Wentz's Intimate Announcement
Musician Pete Wentz and his girlfriend, Meagan Camper, announced their pregnancy on Twitter with an intimate photo, along with the caption: "We’re super excited to announce we’re expecting a baby!" Very cute, but definitely not an announcement for the modest.
