They’re Like A Lot of Us: 40 Celeb Women Who Had Unwed Pregnancies

Bellyitch Rewind

halle-natalie

About 4 years ago, we blogged about how tons of celebrities welcome babies with men they ar not married to and how they, unlike most women, are not shamed for it.

Several, like Heidi Klum and Kelis break up before the baby is even born. The mention is not to bash different lifestyle choices or situations but just to point out the prevalence of premarital pregnancy in Hollywood.

Of the several dozens women Bellyitch has “bumpwatched” since its inception in 2007, the lion’s share or bulk of them were technically single (though possibly attached or engaged) while pregnant.

 Also, to a certain extent, these blessings, each of them, are celebrated and cheered. Meanwhile, average non-celebrity women who have children out-of-wedlock are traditionally trashed, bashed and shamed, by society.
 It’s a double standard, no doubt. But alas, these are changing times and traditional notions and norms are altering too.
Here is a list of 40 celebrity women ( from our old post in 2013, there have been many more since then) who got pregnant before going down the aisle, including some that didn’t even want a ring, and some that are still happily single (in no particular order):
1. Kim Kardashian

2. Salma Hayek

3. KimZolciak

4. Amber Rose

5. Victoria Beckham

Given the #WHCD was Light on Celebs This Year, Let’s Look Back At Celebs Who Walked Its Red Carpet Pregnant

The annual White House Correspondents Association dinner has increasingly been a haven for Hollywood Celebrities who walk the red carpet on their way to hob nob with journalism’s elite that cover the White House.

This year was much different.

 

The current sitting president Donald J. Trump choose to sit it out, a first time since Ronald Reagan  that a President opted to skip the event which usually features a comedian roasting the prez and the media and the pres himself giving a monologue full of self-deprecating humor.

[Even when Reagan skipped it, that was because he was shot on the way in, though to be fair other presidents who were very unpopular at the time Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon have skipped the elite dinner in the past, the only other two since Calvin Coolidge]

This year, the event was also super light on the usual parade of celebrities. That might be a good thing in the eyes of many who have heavily criticized the dinner for becoming to glamourized and Hollywoodized.  Celebrated national TV broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw famously skips it and has been vocal as to his reasons why.

Nonetheless, we usually can spot several celebrity moms we’ve covered in the past to feature on the blog. In the very recent past 8 years, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kristen Bell, Jessica Simpson, Cynthian Nixon, Adriana Lima, Neve Campbell, Emma Watson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Regina King, Anna Chlumsky, Julianna Margulies, Katie Couric, Sofia Vergara, Shonda Rhimes, Rosario Dawson, Candace Cameron Bure, model Emily Ratajowski, Vivica A. Fox, Lupita Nyong’o, Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, Kendell Jenner, Laverne Cox, Lucy Liu, Gabrielle Union have all attended as guests of various news organizations that purchase tables.

Not this year. We didn’t see any. There were a few celebs and some of DC’s A-listers [read: TV journalists and broadcast reporters] there but that’s about it.  And with Trump declaring war on the media, the White House press corp and DC establishment, none in his administration or celebs friendly to him failed to show up as well.

So…we’re doing the next best thing and flashbacking to all the ones who did show up in years past. Interesting enough, most of them were preggers at the time!

Last year, in 2016, while pregnant with her second child, daughter, Isabella, Kerry Washington attempted to conceal her bump in an A-line one shoulder black mini Victoria Beckham mini dress.

In 2015, Glee alum Naya Rivera looked radiant in a white floor length  Tadashi Shoji evening gown and model Anne V ‘s lovely floral gown rocked that year as well.

In 2014, TODAY show anchor Savannah Guthrie was six-months pregnant with her first child when she showed up in a pink dress to the event.

Going further back, Anna Paquin was expecting her first children, a pair of twins, with husband Stephen Moyer in 2011 when she attended the event, also affectionately known as the “Nerd Prom”, wearing a chic and elegant silk jersey gown by French designer Herve L. Leroux.

That same year, Reese Witherspoon was also expecting her third child, but first with second husband Jim Toth. She also went with black in a Monique Lhuillier  gown showing her barely there bump at the time.

 

There you have it! The White House Correspondents Association dinner  has been noteworthy for Bumpwatch coverage history.

Singer Monica also hosted an elaborate Easter Egg Hunt and party at her home. Her daughter Laiyah, outfitted in the cutest hot pink jumpsuit seems pleased. Monica also sparked a bunch of comments speculating that she is expecting in this photo. She too is wearing a paisley off the shoulder jumpsuit that is gapping at the center, creating the illusion of a bump. Whether one is there or not, who knows.

Katherine Heigl is Going Thru What Kerry Washington Experienced On Set

heigl and kids

Actress Kerry Washington put off filming her hit show Scandal while pregnant because it was challenging hiding her bump on set during her first pregnancy. 

And now Grey’s Anatomy alum actress Katherine Heigl is experiencing the deme thing while filming new legal drama, Doubt. 

The Knocked Up star is expecting her third child and admitted to InStyle magazine that finding ways to disguise the fact she’s pregnant has started to become very difficult.

“We’re working really hard to try to hide it, and it’s a challenge, because every day my body changes a little bit more,” she said. “We started out with really high hopes of, like, fitted, pencil skirts, and those really great Victoria Beckham dresses, and that became impossible pretty quickly.”

That’s a great endorsement for VickyB, one of our alums.

“So now it’s a lot of big coats. It’s either a purse, a jacket (to cover the baby bump). I think I should start carrying a big plant around, honestly — just to shake things up.”
Kerry Washington decided against filming while pregnant after enduring the same thing: producers trying to be creative to hide her bump. 
The baby will be Heigl and husband Josh Kelley’s first biological child. They are already parents to two adopted daughters, Naleigh, seven, and Adelaide, four. She recently revealed the pair is expecting a boy.

LAX Style: Only Celebs Look This Good for A Flight

airport style

Yes Celebrity Airport Style is a thing. Regular folks like you and I know that when we travel by air, we need to be comfortable so we may layer t-shirts, wear jeans, yoga or jogging pants, slip on shoes and a sweater or shawl. But if you know that you will be photographed by tons of paparazzi from the curb to the gate, you might as well look fabulous, right?

I mean, there are  even Tumblr blogs dedicated to Celebrity Airport Fashion.  Here are how some our Bellytich Bumpwatch alums dressed pretty chic, sophisticated and heavily over-styled for taking a flight.

Fashion Support: When Celeb Moms Wear Other Celeb Moms

celeb moms

I think it’s cool when I see our Bellytich Bumpwatch alums supporting one another by wearing each other’s designs. Like this week, Jennifer Lopez was taking a break from her Vegas show and spotted in a Stella McCartney cotton sleeveless Lion Shirt and a pair of Victoria Beckham classic aviator shades.

Both McCartney and Beckham were featured prominently on the blog when they were expecting their respective last bundle of joy!

JLo paired the top with dark denim, while toting a Christian Loubotin Paloma leather tote with leopard print sides… and look, are those Converse sneakers, Chuck Taylors to be precise? (What do you think? Ping me and let me know.)

With all this talk about the mom hair and mom jeans, Converse trainers may be the new “mom tennis shoe” after all. (Smile)

And of course, we were proud to see Chelsea Clinton, Carrie Underwood, Adele, Kerry Washington, Beyonce, Jessica Alba, Viola Davis, Reese Witherspoon, Ivanka Trump and Victoria Beckham were on the list!

Check out the entire list and the great write ups on each woman on the list at Working  Mother HERE!

Princess Charlotte Turns One (Look Back When America’s Celeb Princesses Turned One)

princesses

Princess Charlotte turns one today. Kensington Palace commemorated the occasion by releasing three photos of the youngest child and only daughter of Duchess Catherine of Cambridge and Prince William.

Mom, the former Kate Middleton took the shots. They look great. Very sharp. Great job mom!

They also released a photo of her older brother, Prince George, when he was one year old. Just like Charlotte, he too was walking at that age. That is a great feat because some children take a little while longer to walk.

We do not have royalty in America, but we do have some celebrity moms who welcome baby girls and it’s a big deal in the American press.

cruise

On April 18, 2007, Suri Cruise turned one –year old. The only child to actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes celebrated at a party in Shreveport, Louisana where mom Holmes was shooting a movie.  Suri, arguably, was the first celebrity child that was a celeb of her own from birth. She turned 10 this year so it’s been 10 years of obsessing over celeb kids! whoa!

harber and victoria

In July 10, 2012, Harper Seven Beckham, the only daughter and youngest child to Victoria Beckham and David Beckham, turned one. It was a big deal because her mom is a designer and we just knew they she was excited to dress her up. The couple had three boys when she was born, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

bey and blue

When Blue Ivy turned 1 on January 7, 2013 her parents Beyonce Knowles Carter and dad Shawn “Jay-Z “Carter threw her a lavish princess party in New York city that included a $2,400 cake and an $80,000 diamond-encrusted Barbie doll, the Sun reported.

kim and north

Not to be outdone, later that year, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West threw their daughter North West a Kidchella-themed one-year old birthday party that included a ferris-wheel and everything when she turned one on June 15, 2013.

Lobster and Champagne Delivery: Inside Britain’s Hospital for Rich and Famous

portland

A new docu- series explores the inside of one of Britain’s most posh hospital for delivering a baby who will be born rich, The Portland Hospital.

BBC Two interviews the women who spend up to £30,000 or $60,000 US to deliver at a hospital that serves lobster and champagne to new moms in the comforts of their private suite. Consider that the average cost to deliver a baby in the UK is just £2800 (or $4,000)

The documentary, “Five Star Babies“,  follows, among others, Lui Hu, a fashion label founder who is married to wealthy shipping tycoon. In the feature, Hu  says she delivered at The Portland Hospital because Victoria Beckham had her babies there. Kate Winslet and Jerry Hall also delivered there.

Hu described Portland as more “like a five-star holiday than giving birth to her first child.”

And the Hospital’s leadership makes no qualms about being considered the hospital for the rich, powerful and famous.

Five Star Babies  Inside the Portland Hospital   Trailer   BBC Two   YouTube2

“We have princesses from the middle east who deliver here quite regularly. We have celebrities and individuals of very high net worth and they used to getting what they want.” Portland Hospital CEO Janene Madden told The Mirror. “And if they want 10 additional rooms or 20 additional rooms we will provide it. As long as that woman or husband can pay for what they are requesting we will do our best to provide that.”

Moms-to-be and new moms get private consultants and extra tests and screenings, more than what is available to the average pregnant woman.

“You get to use the nursery, your baby is only brought back for feeding time, so after two or three nights here you leave here feeling really fit and well and ready to face this challenge as a new mum,” Madden added. “It’s how it should be.”
