2022 was a big year for stars. From blockboster hits like Avatar: The Way of Water, Elvis, and Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to hit tours from Sabrina Carpenter and Harry Styles, celebrities have been keeping busy and celebrating big wins.
Of course, there are other things to celebrate other than career success. Some celebrities tied the knot this year, such as Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. Others welcomed new life into the world, like Rihanna and Danielle Panabaker. And still for others, exciting news came in the latter half of the year: they discovered they were expecting.
For celebrities Blake Lively, Chrissy Teigen, and others, celebration was in order as they announced they were pregnant. Here are couples that are going to welcome a new family member in 2023.
8 Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Are Expecting Their Fourth Child
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are among Hollywood's most beautiful long-lasting couples. Having met on the set of the film Green Lantern, they later went on to date before getting married in 2012. In the last ten years, Reynolds has gone on to act in dozens of films, while Lively has slowly begun her retirement process.
At this point in time, the couple has three daughters together: James, Betty, and Inez. These two stars are very strict on keeping family and private matters under-wraps, so all we know is that Lively posted her first openly pregnant-belly photo in September. Fans probably won't know any more details about the baby until after the delivery.
7 Chrissy Teigen & John Legend Will Be Welcoming Their Third
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have been married for almost a decade. The two both have promising careers -- Legend with his career in the music industry and reality TV work (The Voice) and Teigen with her work on screen.
In spite of their hard work, both are strongly devoted to each other and to their family, as they have two kids together already: Luna Simone and Miles Theodore. Chrissy shared her first bump photo on August 3rd on Instagram, meaning she is likely in her third trimester!
6 Keke Palmer & Boyfriend Darius Jackson Are Expecting
Keke Palmer has been in everything from Disney's Jump In! to Jordan Peele's Nope to Hustlers. Along with acting, she has also released several songs and music videos, as well as KeyTV on YouTube.
Though Palmer seems pretty open in front of the camera, she has been fairly secretive regarding her relationship with boyfriend Darius Jackson. She may not post about him often, but the couple are excitedly expecting their first child together. Keeping with the theme of privacy, Keke has not posted much content or info on her pregnancy, leaving fans guessing when she's due.
5 Kaley Cuoco & Tom Pelphrey Are Expecting A Baby Girl
Kaley Cuoco is known for many television hits. She gained notoriety thanks to The Big Bang Theory, then moved on to the animated series Harley Quinn in which she's the titular character and The Flight Attendant, in which she stars.
Cuoco and her partner, Tom Pelphrey, have been sharing moments from this pregnancy journey on social media. Announced on October 11th, Kaley shared that not only was she pregnant, but with a baby girl! The couple is looking forward to welcoming this child into the world.
4 Rumer Willis & Boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas Are Expecting
Rumer Willis may be known first as Bruce Willis' daughter, but she has worked hard to make a name for herself. Not only did she compete on Dancing with the Stars, but she acted in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, 90210, and The House Bunny. In recent years, she has focused on herself rather than her career.
This decision seems to have paid off, as she is now expecting her first child. She and her boyfriend, Derek Richard, announced on December 20 that she was pregnant with a sweet "bump-date" photo.
3 Adam Levine & Behati Prinsloo Are On Their Third Child Together
Adam Levine has been the subject of several headlines recently, but not for a reason to celebrate. It was the center of many memes, jokes, and articles this year: Levine's cheating scandal surfaced thanks to screenshots of his messages leaked online.
Through all this, however, his wife Behati Prinsloo has stuck with him. The couple married in 2014, and on September 15th, Prinsloo shared a photo of her tummy to announce they were pregnant. Though Behati has been posting multiple photos of her bump on Instagram, Levine has not featured it once.
2 Hilary Swank & Philip Schneider Are Having Twins
Hilary Swank has been a part of popular productions like Beverly Hills, 90210, Million Dollar Baby, and P.S. I Love You. Her husband of four years, Philip Schneider, is not involved in Hollywood. This may be part of the reason he and Swank recently moved off the map. Besides Alaska Daily, she has not acted in anything since 2020.
In October, Swank announced on her social media that she was pregnant! Not only that, but pregnant with twins. She is likely in her second trimester at this point, and posts adorable updates on her Instagram pretty regularly.
1 Gina Rodriguez & Joe LoCicero Are Expecting
Gina Rodriguez has been busy since her TV series Jane the Virgin. From animations like Big Mouth and Carmen Sandiego to live-action films Awake and I Want You Back, she has acted in over a dozen productions in the last two years.
Along with dedicating time to her career, she has also been preparing to welcome her first baby alongside her husband Joe LoCicero. She loves flaunting her baby belly on Instagram, and first announced the pregnancy at the end of October. Despite the late announcement, it appears the baby will be arriving in January 2023!
