Celebrities Expecting in the New Year

Welcome to 2017! A new year means lots of new celebrity babies and here is a list of some famous people who will be welcoming a 2017 baby!

Ronan and Storm Keating

The couple announced the happy news in early December. Storm took to her blog to reveal her pregnancy, writing: “We’re now very excited to announce that a year later we became parents-to-be!!” The couple first met in August 2010 and became husband and wife five years later. On the day of their anniversary, they found out they were going to be parents! This is going to be Storm’s first child, and the baby will join Ronan’s other children from his previous marriage, Jack, 17, Marie, 15 and Ali, 10.

Rochelle and Marvin Humes

Radio presenter Marvin Humes and The Saturday’s singer, Rochelle, recently announced their pregnancy news in a series of model-worthy shots that showed off her growing baby bump. Television’s most popular couple “are both over the moon and can’t wait to welcome another member to their family” according to a source close to the couple. The new baby is going to join their daughter, Alaia-Mai, 3.

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk

This is going to be one good-looking baby! The supermodel is reportedly expecting a baby with the American actor in the New Year. The rumour mill went into overdrive when Irina appeared on the Victoria’s Secret catwalk in Paris wearing outfits that all hid her stomach. While the whispers about her pregnancy slightly overshadowed her modelling that day, we are sure that the couple are overjoyed at the news.

Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

There’s going to be another royal baby! Zara Phillips – the Queen’s granddaughter – and her rugby husband Mike Tindall are expected a baby soon. The newborn will be joining the couple’s daughter Mia, 2, and will be another second cousin to Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Edit: Unfortunately, Zara and Mike lost their baby before Christmas. We are very saddened to hear this news and our hearts go out to the couple in this difficult time. 

Pink and Carey Hart

When the news broke about Pink’s pregnancy, it was revealed that she is already quite far along! How she managed to keep her baby bump hidden after all these months is quite a mystery, but definitely a pleasant surprise. This will be Pink’s second child with husband Carey Hart, and the baby will be joining older sister Willow Sage, 5.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter

“Sherlock” star Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife, Sophie Hunter, are expecting their second child, having announced the news in October. The couple are already parents to their one-year-old son, Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch, who was born last June. We can’t wait to see if a little boy or girl joins his “Batch”!

Geri and Christian Horner

Ginger Spice announced that she is going to be a mum again back in October, sharing the news on Instagram with a hand drawn sketch of a pregnant woman and the very appropriate hashtag, #MamaSpice. This is Geri’s second child, her first being a daughter called Bluebell, 10, from a previous relationship.

Cheryl and Liam Payne

After much speculation about whether Cheryl was pregnant or not, we seemed to have gotten some silent confirmation from the couple. They were seen stepping out in London and Cheryl made no attempts to hide her growing baby bump. She also had an obviously fuller face – surely it must be pregnancy weight? After all, a picture is worth a thousand words!

This is going to be both Cheryl and Liam’s first child together. Both parties have talked about starting a family before in interviews and it seems as though they are on the right track for a New Year’s baby!

These are just some of the celebs that are welcoming babies in 2017 and we can’t wait to find out what baby names they will pick. We will be following closely so keep an eye out on Babynames.co.uk for all of the latest celebrity baby news!
