2017 celebrity babies - who's given birth?

Here's our run down of the famous people who've welcomed little ones in 2017 - plus what they've named their babies...

Hollyoaks' Rachel Adedeji (December 2017)

26-year-old actress Rachel has become a mum for the 1st time!

Lillian Oluremi Adedeji-Finegan was born on 21 December 2017, a week earlier than she was due.

"Merry Christmas guys!! I was blessed to have received my Christmas present a whole week earlier than expected," Rachel wrote on Instagram.

"We welcomed baby Adedeji-Finegan on the 21st of December at 5:38am weighing a healthy 8lbs 14oz ?????"

Rachel and her partner Jason debuted Lilian in OK! magazine in January 2018.

Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias (December 2017)

Talk about a surprise birth announcement ?

Tennis icon Anna and popstar Enrique have added 2 new additions to their family: twin babies named Nicholas and Lucy!

It would seem Anna was really keen to keep her bump away from the spotlights. Fans were also annoyed that she'd changed her style of Instagram shot to disguise a bump.

Anna and Enrique have been together since 2001, after Anna appeared in the music video for Enrique's single Escape. The couple are very private, so not much is known about their relationship.

Katie Piper (December 2017)

TV presenter Katie Piper, 34, has become a mum for the 2nd time.

The star and charity founder revealed the happy news on Instagram. Read the full story here.

Mindy Kaling (December 2017)

38-year-old US actress and comedian Mindy confirmed she was expecting in August 2017 ?

She spoke about her pregnancy news for the first time in an interview with TODAY, saying:

“[I'm] really excited. It’s so unknown to me. I have a lot of control over a lot of aspects of my life, and this is one where I’m like, ‘OK, it’s out of my hands,’ which is kind of a fun feeling.”

E! News reports that Mindy gave birth on the 15 December 2017, to a baby daughter, whose name is Katherine Kaling.

The Mindy Project star has yet to share the news herself on social media, and so far has chosen not to reveal the identity of her baby's father publicly.

Jamelia (December 2017)

Surprise! Jamelia's given birth, after her shock announcement that she was 6 months pregnant in October 2017.

It seems the 36-year-old Superstar singer (and Loose Women fave) had a traumatic end to her pregnancy, which fortunately resulted in a healthy birth.

In her announcement post, she wrote on Instagram:

"❤ 13 weeks after being told to prepare ourselves for the worst ?

"On the 13th of December, after drawing on and surrounding ourselves with every ounce of faith & positivity we could find, we have been abundantly blessed with the absolute best

"God. Is. Oh. So. Good. ☺️ #WeMadeIt ❤?? #SoGrateful #MiraclesDoHappen ☺️?❤❤"

Jamelia has yet to reveal her baby's name, nor the identity of her husband, who she secretly wed in July 2017.

Jamelia also has 2 daughters, named Tiani and Teja, from a previous relationship.

"She is absolutely perfect & we are totally in love with her. I had her 3.5 weeks ago on Sunday 5th November at 6.56am.

"She weighed 7lbs 14oz and we named her Clementine Saskia Collins. ??#newprincess#mysecretbubble"

We have to say we love the somewhat fruity name choice ?

Julia Stiles (November 2017)

US actress Julia Stiles has welcomed her 1st child: Strummer Newcomb Cook.

The 36-year-old and new husband Preston J. Cook married in a 'shotgun' wedding not long before the birth ?

The couple already share a daughter, named Sophia, born in February 2016.

Though there's no real information yet - the couple are famously private - we'll update as soon as her name's been revealed.

Given that Sophia is such a classic - alleged to be the most popular girl's name in the world - we reckon we can expect something similarly traditional.

Ferne McCann (November 2017)

Ferne McCann has welcomed her 1st child, a baby girl, a week earlier than expected.

Taking to Instagram to share the lovely news, the 27-year-old This Morning presenter gushed:

Her daughter's name has now been revealed as Sunday.

Glee's Matthew Morrison (October 2017)

We're so full of Glee for US actor Matthew Morrison. (Sorry, that was a TERRIBLE pun.)

The 38-year-old musical star has just become a dad for the first time, welcoming a baby boy with wife Renee just a few days ago.

Revealing the happy news on Instagram, Matthew gushed:

"To my Newborn Child, Revel James Makai Morrison: Your Mama and Papa got this!! Trust in us to guide and protect you always.

"To lay the tracks so your choo choo train will run smoothly throughout this world?. You will have all the tools to soar!

"We love you, and are so thankful for your arrival! The adventures are just beginning... ?: @isaaccohenphotography"

Wow, check out that name: Revel James Makai ?

On 16 October, American actress Jaime Pressly gave birth to twins.

Jaime, best known for her work on the sitcom My Name Is Earl, took to Instagram to reveal her twins were both boys, and that she'd given them the names Leo and Lenon.

Lennon's an ever popular baby name pick - but we have to say this is the first time we've ever seen it without the double 'n'.

Something a bit different. We love it ???

Call The Midwife's Helen George (October 2017?)

Actress Helen and her Call The Midwife co-star Jack Ashton have had their 1st child together.

American Pie star Jason has become a dad for the 2nd time. His wife, Angel actress Jenny Mollen, gave birth to the couple's 2nd son Lazlo in October 2017.

Jenny announced her 2nd pregnancy on Instagram with this, shall we say, slightly unusual announcement pic, which features what looks like a nasal aspirator.

She wrote: "This is how I told my son babies are made. #numbertwo #nosefrida @fridababy #teetsreincarnated"

???

Jason echoed his wife's sentiment on his own Instagram page shortly afterwards.

Jenny then went on to reveal that the couple's 3-year-old son, Sid, understood that mum had something growing in her tum, but was frustrated that he couldn't see the baby's face.

Well, now he can! Congrats to the happy fam ?

Carey Mulligan (August/September 2017, maybe?)

Reports say An Education actress Carey Mulligan has given birth to her 2nd child.

She and husband Marcus Mumford, of Mumford and Sons fame (obviously), have been married in 2012, and also share a little girl named Evelyn.

Carey's famously a very private mum, so we don't expect we'll be hearing any more news about the birth of her child.

We do hope, of course, that she'll reveal her son or daughter's first name!

Example and Erin Gleave (September 2017)

On 12 September 2017, rapper Example and model Erin welcomed their 2nd child.

"Very happy and proud to welcome our little girl Tara to our home.

"Jelena and I have been hand in hand on this journey and as a man, I have to send my love and admiration to every single women out there for going through so much pain and effort to create life, to bring life and raise a human being... what a blessing to have an opportunity to be a parent!

She was born 4 weeks premature, and weighted 4lb 14oz. Both mum and baby are doing really well, according to dad Chris' announcement tweet.

The couple already share son Callum, who was born 11 weeks premature.

Sarra unexpectedly opened up about her baby joy in an interview with Lorraine Kelly, announcing her pregnancy totally out of the blue.

She admitted the couple were anxious about having baby no 2, due to the worry they'd experienced when Callum was intensive care after his birth.

"I would never have thought that I would have ventured down the road again," Sarra said. "But actually time’s a great healer and actually we’re so excited about it.

"The point is, prematurity or having a sick baby, it’s unexpected for most people. So that’s the shock of it. It might not happen again, but we’ll see."

Fortunately, Chloe arrived safe and sound ?

Good Morning Britain's Laura Tobin (September 2017)

Beloved weather reporter Laura has given birth prematurely, her co-stars revealed on 6 September.

Laura's had a baby girl, reportedly a month before her due date, named Charlotte - the same name as one of her Good Morning Britiain's Charlotte Hawkins.

“It was always going to be either Susanna or Charlotte,” teased colleague Piers Morgan. “And she went the right way I think.”

“Little Charlotte came a little earlier than planned and she is being very well looked after in hospital," co-host Susanna Reid added.

"Laura and Dean [her partner] are with her every day and she is growing in strength every day. Laura describes her as beautiful."

We hope the new fam will be home soon ?

Serena Williams (September 2017)

Tennis legend Serena, 35, and her fiance Alexis have welcomed their baby girl ?

She's been named after her dad and her mum, in a way: Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr.

We love it!

Serena announced on 20 April 2017 that she was 20 weeks along, and she apparently gave birth at the beginning of September.

Serena's pregnancy news was doubly amazing, as fans realised she would've been 8 weeks pregnant when she won the Australian Open ?

Congrats from us ???

Mark Zuckerberg (August 2017)

Facebook founder and CEO Mark has revealed that his wife Priscilla Chan has given birth to a baby girl.

Her name is certainly inspired by the month of her birth - they've called her August!

Quite the contrast, too, to the slightly more traditional name they bestowed upon their 1st daughter, Maxima ?

During the latter stages of pregnancy, Mark also announced on (Facebook-owned) Instagram that he'd be taking 2 months of paternity leave.

"Our new daughter is coming soon so I'm planning to take two months of paternity leave," he began.

"I'm looking forward to bonding with our new little one and taking Max on adventures. I'm pretty sure the office will still be standing when I get back."

How fortunate they are to be able to afford those precious first few months together ?

Chanelle Hayes (August 2017)

Reality star Chanelle had a pregnancy riddled with hyperemesis gravadium, so we bet she's thrilled to have finally given birth!

She shared the news on Instagram, writing:

"Ryan, Blakely and I are absolutely over the moon to announce that the new addition to our little family has arrived safely and in a perfect package on Tuesday 29th August 2017 at 1:34am. ❤️ #ThreeBecomesFour ?‍?‍?‍?"

No word yet as to whether she's had a boy, or a girl, or what the name will be.

Laura and Jason Kenny (August 2017)

Can winning countless medals at the Olympics compare to the excitement (and exhaustion) of first time parenthood?

Let's ask Laura and Jason Kenny, who both worked hard to win (several) cycling golds at the Rio 2016 Olpymics, and who've just become mum and dad to a newborn baby boy.

"Welcome to the world little Albert Louie Kenny. 23/08/17 8lb 12.5oz 22.44 ?" Laura wrote beside a family snap, featuring Albert in his car seat.

"You kept us waiting a week but it was all worth it ????"

Can't wait to hear what the answer to our question is ?

Siobhan and happy dad (and sailor) Chris McCoy, who married in 2013, have chosen an unusual name for their son - Ford. Ford's full name is Ford Charles McCoy - a very impressive sounding moniker for a very cute looking baby.

Tamsin Egerton and Josh Hartnett (August 2017)

Reports say that US actor Josh and British model Tamsin welcomed their 2nd child together in August 2017.

The couple welcomed their 1st born at the end of 2015.

There's no word on the baby's sex.

Big congrats ?

"Sonny Sanford Rosenman was born on 7/27/17!! Everyone is so happy and healthy and we are home now.

"I'm going to try my very best to not be one of those moms whose feed is dominated by their baby but I can totally see how difficult it will be not to.

Cristiano Ronaldo (June 2017)

The Sun first reported in March that famed footballer Cristiano Ronaldo was to become a dad of twins. Now, it's been revealed that he's already welcomed the newborns!

There are widespread reports suggesting that the twins, said to be named Eva and Mateo, were born via a surrogate on Thursday 8 June.

Cristiano himself confirmed the new arrivals on Instagram 3 weeks later, sharing an Instagram photo of himself holding the newborns for the very first time on 29 June.

"So happy to be able to hold the two new loves of my life ?❤" he gushed in the caption.

Cristiano had been unable to meet his newborns until now, due to his football team, Portugal, playing in the Confederations Cup.

"I was in the service of the national team, as always, body and soul, even though my two children were born," he wrote on Facebook, in his native language, Portuguese.

"Unfortunately, we have not been able to achieve the main sporting objective that we wanted, but I am sure we will continue to give joy to the Portuguese.

"The President of the Portuguese Football Federation and the national picker have today had an attitude that has touched me and I will not forget.

"I'm very happy to finally be with my children for the first time."

32-year-old Cristiano has never publicly revealed who his 7-year-old son Cristiano Jr’s mum is - and previously said in his documentary that he felt having a father was enough for his son.

So, we don't expect the identity of the twins' mother to be announced any time soon.

Big congrats ?

US Olympian Ryan and his partner Kayla Reed welcomed their 1st child, a baby boy named Caiden Zane Lochte, on Thursday 8 June.

E! News reports that they've had a little girl, and she's named Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper.

Irina and Bradley have been dating since spring 2015, and baby rumours started in November 2016, after Irina appeared on the catwalk at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

She was last spotted out and about in Feb, when she took a fun-filled trip to Disneyland with family members.

We hope this lovely news is true. Big congrats if so ?

Huge congrats ?

She told the mag:

"It’s not actually a name I’d heard before, but it popped into my mind and stuck there... I wanted to give him an unusual name but I also wanted him to be called Albi after my granddad, so I decided to combine the two."

And previously, she revealed the origin of Caben:

"I will say it's something different. I've not heard it before! It's like a movie star name.

"We got it when a guy started talking to me while I was with my friends recently and he said his name when he left - we just all looked at each other and knew, so thanks to him!

"My mum loves it but my brother's weren't so sure to start with, but I think they want a proper lad's name."
