Hollywood star Jennifer showed off her cute baby bump at the Zurawski V Texas movie premiere in Los Angeles last October, just days after announcing she’s expecting her second child. The Hunger Games actress, 34, already has a two-year-old son, Cy, with her art gallerist husband Cooke Maroney, 40. The pair tied the knot in October 2019 at the Belcourt mansion in Newport, Rhode Island, and welcomed little Cy in February 2022. In 2024, a source told People magazine that the Silver Linings Playbook star is “thrilled” to be expecting again, adding, “She loves being a mom. It feels like the perfect timing to her. Her son will be three when the new baby arrives.”
Oscar-winner Jennifer has certainly taken to motherhood, previously revealing that the “morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over”. She recalled, “I just stared. I was just so in love. I fell in love with all babies everywhere.” Jennifer says she has become more picky when it comes to choosing film projects and she now asks herself, “Is this worth being away from my child for half the day?”
Princess Beatrice
A new royal arrival is on the cards for the princess, who announced her pregnancy back in October. The 36-year-old and her hubby of four years, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 41, are expected to welcome the baby “early in the new year”, according to Buckingham Palace. The tot will become 11th in line to the throne. Beatrice and Edoardo are already parents to three-year-old daughter Sienna, while Edoardo also shares an eight-year-old son, Christopher ‘Wolfie’ Woolf, with his ex-fiancée, Dara Huang.
King Charles III was said to be “delighted” by the news of the new baby, who will be the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 14th great-grandchild. In a recent interview, Edoardo said his work frequently takes him away from home, explaining that he’s “always on a train”. Sounds like Daddy might not be on hand to help with those late-night nappy changes, then.
Mrs Hinch
Sophie Hinchliffe – better known as Mrs Hinch – is set to welcome her third child in the early months of 2025. The lifestyle influencer and her husband Jamie are already parents to Ronnie, five, and three-year-old Lennie, and are preparing to add another son into the mix. Announcing her pregnancy in November, Sophie, 34, shared a sweet clip of the family painting ‘Baby Boy #3’ on a wall in their home. She also shared her belief that her late father, who passed earlier in the year, had sent another son down to her.
“Heaven was too far to visit, so you sent us a special gift from up above. I have no doubt you sent him to us Dad, to fill our hearts with so much love. ILYD. Ronnie and Lennie’s Baby Brother,” she wrote, while jesting that a third boy would be “absolute carnage”. Sophie hasn’t revealed her exact due date, and recently teased about being “further along” than many think. “When baby boy no.3 arrives, Ronnie will still be 5 and Lennie will still be 3,” she revealed last year – meaning he is due before Lennie’s birthday in May. Not long to go now!
Charlotte Crosby
Geordie Shore OG Charlotte is about to give birth to her second child any day now. She and fiancé Jake Ankers, who welcomed daughter Alba Jean in October 2022, shared the happy news in September, writing, “In my babies and business ERA delighted to announce baby Ankers number 2 is due January 2025.” The couple, who share a Sunderland mansion, are also due to get hitched, after Jake proposed in Dubai in November. Charlotte, 34, suffered a traumatic ectopic pregnancy back in 2016, which left her fearing she might never have children.
After Alba Jean was born by elective Caesarean, a thrilled Charlotte described being a mum as “amazing – perfect dream”. The Celebrity Big Brother winner added, “What an experience! I would redo that whole birthing experience every single day over and over and over again.” Let’s hope Charlotte still feels the same way – pretty soon she’ll have to!
Stephanie Davis
Soap star Stephanie said she was feeling “a whirl of mixed emotions” after learning she was pregnant again. The 31-year-old is expecting her first child with partner Joe McKalroy, also 31, in the new year, following a heartbreaking miscarriage three years ago. Former Hollyoaks favourite Steph, who already has a seven-year-old son Caben, from her previous relationship with Celebrity Big Brother star Jeremy McConnell, is expecting another little boy.
Opening up about her pregnancy, Steph, who starred in Coronation Street from July to November 2023, heaped praise on her partner, saying, “I don’t know what I’d do without Joe because he’s always been my biggest support.” In an emotional Instagram post, she wrote, “Thank you Joe, for being my rock, for listening to my every panic and anxiety-filled thought, for reassuring me so many times and being my biggest supporter cheering me on and making me laugh amongst the tears. I love you. I cannot wait for our son to be here safe in our arms.”
Charlotte Dawson
It’s been a tough 12 months for Charlotte, whose fiancé, Matthew Sarsfield, was embroiled in a sexting scandal over the summer. But the star finally has a reason to smile now that she is expecting a “surprise” third child due in February – a baby girl. “I’m so happy. It’s finally out. It’s been the hardest secret ever as I’m so bad at keeping secrets as you know,” she said after announcing the tot’s gender. “I feel so relieved that I can finally say it, but I just can’t believe it and I never thought I’d have a girl. “I’ve finally got my little princess.”
The reality star, 32, was devastated after finding out that rugby player Matt – who she’s been engaged to since September 2020 – sent saucy texts to a pal’s ex. But Charlotte, who is already mum to sons Noah, three, and 17-month-old Jude, is putting on a brave face. She explained, “I don’t want a broken home. I want to do what’s best for my kids.”
Brides
Shona McGarty
Wedding bells could possibly be chiming right now for former EastEnders star Shona, 33, who got engaged to musician David Bracken in July. The Irish guitarist popped the question in London’s historic Holland Park and Shona told OK! they were “thinking of a Christmas wedding”. She revealed, “David loves Christmas and I love winter and the cold and the lights. We also want to get married in Ireland because I have so much family there, and so does David. “We’re both Catholic, so we would want to get married in a Catholic church and a lot of the churches there are amazing.”
David, 35, got down on one knee in the park’s Kyoto Garden, which has a special significance for Shona. “I love Japanese culture and the spirituality of it,” she said. “I was in my element, but I didn’t think he was going to propose at all.” EastEnders fans can expect to see lots of Shona’s former Albert Square co-stars in the wedding snaps, as the actress revealed she will be inviting all of them. “I love them so much and they are such a big part of mine and David’s journey,” she said. “He’s pretty much met all of the cast and they are all big fans of his.”
Amy Childs
Get the confetti ready! Nearly two years after her engagement to long-term boyfriend Billy Delbosq, TOWIE favourite Amy is finally gearing up to walk down the aisle. “I’m actually really excited to say that me and Bill have actually got a location and we’ve got a meeting with the location in two weeks’ time,” she said during an Instagram Story in October. “It’s a place that I’ve always wanted to get married at and I can’t wait to let you all know. Wedding preparation is coming!” Billy then teased, “The date is secured, so all will be revealed.”
Businessman Billy surprised Amy by getting down on one knee in April 2023. Opening up about the sweet proposal, Amy, 34, told OK! it was “a complete shock” and “a bit of a blur”. Billy, 41, popped the question with the help of the couple’s twins, Billy and Millie, who wore baby-grows that had “Mummy, would you marry my daddy?” printed on them. “It was so beautiful,” said Amy, whose pregnancy journey was documented in an ITVBe series, Amy Childs: The Twin Life. “I was very emotional – I was crying.” It’s a busy time ahead for Amy who, as well as the twins, also has two children – Polly, six, and five-year-old Richie – from previous relationships.
Dani Dyer
Former Love Islander Dani is due to tie the knot in 2025 after getting engaged to footballer Jarrod Bowen in July, after three years of dating. England and West Ham star Jarrod popped the question during a romantic holiday. But the pair didn’t share the happy news until they had got the blessing of Dani’s dad – former EastEnders legend Danny. “Us forever,” Dani wrote, posting a photo of her hand and a huge diamond engagement ring.
The pair, both 28, welcomed twin daughters, Summer and Star, in May 2023, while Dani shares four-year-old son Santiago with her ex Sammy Kimmence. Dani and Jarrod started dating three years ago after meeting as neighbours, and Jarrod already shares a close bond with his future father-in-law. Speaking on their joint podcast, Sorted With The Dyers, diehard Hammers fan Danny joked to his daughter, “I’m probably more in love with your boyfriend than you are.”
Sanam Harrinanan
Expect Love Island winner Sanam and her fiancé Kai Fagan to get hitched in the coming months. And there may be more than one do, as 26-year-old Sanam – who has Indo- Caribbean heritage – previously said she’d “consider having two different weddings… an Indian wedding and also a British wedding.” The gorgeous pair fell for one another during the notorious Casa Amor stage of the dating show back in March 2023.
Just over a year later, PE teacher Kai, 26, got down on one knee during a romantic boating day out in Cambridge. The lovebirds celebrated in May 2024 with an engagement party in Sale, Manchester, which saw Sanam arrive sporting a diamond engagement ring. We reckon they’ll be saying “I do” sooner rather than later.
Alexandra Burke
Mum-of-two Alexandra is ready to walk down the aisle after her boyfriend of nearly four years, Darren Randolph, popped the question in September. The X Factor winner, 36, has been in a relationship with Darren, 37, since April 2021. They welcomed their first child in June 2022 and a second in September 2023, and have chosen to keep their kids’ names private. Goalkeeper Darren got down on one knee during a surprise proposal at the five-star Rosewood London hotel. Later, Alexandra captioned a video of the occasion on Instagram, “Here’s to us forever! I can’t believe I get to marry my best friend."
Holly Ramsay
TV chef Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly and her Olympic swimmer boyfriend Adam Peaty announced their engagement on 12 September. Celebrating their big moment, the couple posted a series of snaps showing off Holly’s exquisite engagement ring. “Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever,” wrote Holly, while dad Gordon gave his seal of approval, saying, “Hols, watching you become the woman you are today with your kindness and your love is absolutely infectious…Adam is a very lucky man!”
The pair met in 2021, when Adam, 29, was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing alongside Holly’s younger sister, Tilly. The three-times gold medallist has a four-year-old son, George, from his previous relationship and has praised Holly, 24, for being a great step-mum. “Seeing you show the love you give to the most important person in my life, George, even from day one, there was never a question about you becoming my wife one day,” he said. We imagine the wedding catering will be amazing if Gordon has anything to do with it!
Laura Woods
Love Island lothario Adam Collard proved he’s changed his ways after proposing to TV star Laura in September. The one-time ladies’ man, who has also starred on Celebs Go Dating, got down on one knee on a secluded beach in Cornwall – the place where Laura said they “fell in love”. Announcing the engagement on social media, Laura wrote, “And just like that… You make me happy @adamcollard.” Sports presenter Laura, 37, and personal trainer Adam, 29, first started dating in October 2023, just one year after Adam returned to Love Island for the second time in a failed bid to find The One.
In July the couple announced that they were expecting a baby, with Laura sharing a sweet ultrasound snap on Instagram. Adam has previously opened up about his former love rat status and “25 girlfriends”. His celebrity conquests include fellow reality star Zara McDermott. Looks like Laura is the one to finally win his heart.
