Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

They may be Hollywood’s ‘It’ couple but Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds decided to keep the details of their first child to a minimum. Blake debuted her baby bump via her lifestyle website in a tribute to ‘all the expecting mothers out there’. And it wasn’t until their daughter James’ first birthday that her date of birth was finally revealed via Instagram. [Photo: Getty]

Last night, Kylie Jenner gave sister Kim Kardashian lessons in how to really break the Internet.

After months of media speculation and a series of cryptic Instagram snaps, the 20-year-old finally revealed to followers that she has welcomed a baby daughter with boyfriend Travis Scott.

In a candid post, the social media mogul admitted that she wanted to prepare for birth in the most ‘positive, stress free and healthy way’ which meant keeping the pregnancy away from the cameras.

But the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star isn’t the only celebrity to have kept her journey secret.

From Blake Lively to Adele, these are the A-listers who kept the media circuit guessing for nine months.
