5 Stars Who Turned Their Pregnancy Announcements Into Shows

While some stars hide their upcoming additions until the baby is born, others come up with ways to announce their pregnancy status to the whole world. And here’s how it happens!

Rihanna

The singer is a master of effectively presenting news about the addition to the family. Both times the celebrity’s pregnancy was a complete surprise for fans. She announced the first time with a sudden walk hand in hand with her chosen one A$AP Rocky in winter New York. The girl was wearing a pink down jacket, unbuttoned below the chest, so that no one had any doubts. Of course, the exit with a bare stomach was captured by a “random” street photographer.

The second announcement was also not at all banal: Rihanna kept her pregnancy a secret as best she could until her performance at the Super Bowl in early 2023. Not only does the event rivet millions of viewers to their screens, but the singer’s performance was her first in several years of a lull in her career – it is impossible to come up with a louder combination of news items!

Demmy Moor

The photo of a naked and pregnant Demi Moore on the cover of a glossy magazine in 1991 became iconic, but few people know that the photo shoot was originally intended only for the star’s personal archive. The shoot went well, and the actress decided to publish the shots. Social networks did not exist back then – the celebrity contacted Vanity Fair magazine.

“I said, ‘I’d be surprised if they had the guts to put me on the cover.’ They called back and said they’d love to do it. I think that was a big moment… that changed the way we think about pregnant women,” the star told Jimmy Fallon in 2019. The magazine was right: The August issue with Moore on the cover was a hit and set the trend for such shoots.

Emily Ratajkowski

The model followed in Demi Moore’s footsteps, but times have changed – the girl announced her pregnancy to the world by appearing on the digital cover of Vogue in video format. Despite her love for indecently revealing outfits, the celebrity showed off her rounded belly in a classic slip dress decorated with lace. At the same time, she wrote a column for the magazine in which she stated that she was not going to find out the sex of the child.

In addition to the cover, the publication’s team shot a short documentary about Emily’s pregnancy — the director’s job was entrusted to the celebrity’s friend Lena Dunham. This is probably why the film is full of personal footage: the viewer can see not only the ultrasound examination, but also scenes of domestic life: for example, how the model takes a bath. Ratajkowski spoke warmly about Lena’s work in her personal blog: “I will love this video dearly for the rest of my life.”

Beyonce

Beyoncé announced her first pregnancy without further ado: the star performed her track Love On Top at the 2011 Video Music Awards and unexpectedly unbuttoned her jacket. Beyoncé’s announcement of her pregnancy with twins in 2017 was a simple and tasteful announcement. The star did not get creative and limited herself to publishing photos on her personal blog.

But she approached the selection of the telling shot with all seriousness: it shows the celebrity in her underwear, her head covered with an improvised veil, and the background is decorated with flowers. “We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed twice,” reads the touching caption. By the way, later the happy mother arranged a photo shoot in the same style again, but this time with the babies in her arms.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer announced her first pregnancy right from the stage during the last concert of the tour. The happy father of the future baby came up to her – at that time the actress and singer was married to Marc Anthony. “Marc and I are expecting a baby! We didn’t want to say anything before because we didn’t want to distract ourselves from the tour. This is a special time in our lives. And we waited until the last show to tell you,” Jennifer admitted. Her companion tenderly kissed her belly under the cheers of jubilant fans.

It was only in 2019 that Jennifer revealed how she found out she was pregnant: the star posted a video where she answered her own children’s question about the pregnancy. “I was in Portugal, I had a big show. I felt a flutter in my stomach when I was sitting in the trailer. It felt like I had a little butterfly there…” the artist shared. With the help of an ultrasound, it was possible not only to confirm the pregnancy, but also to discover that there would be two children at once.
