While some celebrities prefer to keep their little ones out of the public eye, others are rather inclined to share the birth of their newborns with the world. 2023 saw the arrival of dozens of scions in the making—there was a new Kardashian-Barker named Rocky Thirteen, Serena Williams’ second daughter, and of course, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s baby boy. The art of the celebrity baby announcement is also something to keep an eye on—will they go the social media route? Entirely avoid the topic? Be spotted by hoards of paparazzi and have to admit they have a child? Here, every celebrity baby of 2024 so far.
Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel
Miranda Kerr has welcomed her fourth child, son Pierre Kerr Spiegel, and third with her husband Evan Spiegel. On February 27th, the model and businesswoman announced the happy news via Snapchat.

“I just love being a mother and I always wanted three boys,” Kerr told Vogue Australia in July 2022. so I feel really blessed that I have three healthy boys,” she added, saying that family is her “number-one priority.”
Tamsin Egerton and Josh Hartnett
Tamsin Egerton and Josh Hartnett have quietly welcomed their fourth child together. During the SAG Awards on February 24th, the Oppenheimer actor revealed that he and Egerton are now parents of four.
The actor was asked by reporters if he has seen the “Josh Hartnett Renaissance” trend on social media to which he replied, “I have four kids, I live in the countryside. I’m busy either working or taking care of them, but thank you.” Well, that’s one way to announce your baby!
Egerton and Hartnett, who tied the knot in 2021, are fairly private when it comes to their family unit. During a 2021 interview, Hartnett confirmed that they had welcomed their third child in 2019. The couple also share two children whose name are undisclosed.
“There are, but the thing I am most proud of is that I’m a father of three and I have a good relationship with my partner and a great family life and I’m still able to do good work and, as I’ve got older, the characters have become more interesting,” Hartnett told Mr. Porter at the time.
Halle Bailey and DDG
The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey is a new mom. On Sunday, January 7th, the singer and actress took to Instagram to share that she welcomed her first child, a boy named Halo, with her boyfriend DDG.
“Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son,” the singer and actress captioned a photo holding the newborn’s hand. “Welcome to the world my Halo, the world is desperate to know you.”
Celebrities flocked to the comments to congratulate the new mom on her little one. “Welcome to earth, Halo,” Nicki Minaj wrote. “We’ve been expecting you. Congrats, mama!” Halle’s sister, Chloe, simply commented “Auntie’s baby.”
The news comes after months of unverified speculation that Halle was expecting. She was first linked romantically to DDG, a YouTuber-turned-rapper whose full name is Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr., back in 2022 and later confirmed their relationship a few months later. “I completely forgot about him,” Halle told Essence, having first stumbled upon DDG’s YouTube vlogs in 2015. “But then I saw he was dropping music, and I really gravitated toward this one song. Coincidentally he messaged me — and the rest his history.”
Sienna Miller and Oli Green
Sienna Miller is a mom of two! The actress has officially welcomed her second child, a girl, and her first with boyfriend Oli Green after the pair were spotted in London on January 3rd with their newborn.
Miller unveiled her second pregnancy in astonishing style. Back in September, she attended Vogue World wearing a bump-baring couture look from Schiaparelli. In a December interview with the publication, Miller detailed that she felt “more psychologically prepared” for her second pregnancy when compared to the birth of her now 11-year-old daughter Marlowe (who she shares with her ex Tom Sturridge).
“I spent so much time preparing for the birth, and absolutely no thought was given to what happens when I’d get home with a baby,” Miller said to Vogue of her first pregnancy. “At least now I’m aware of what that’s like.”
