We love a good pregnancy announcement as much as the next person but there are some that have taken us completely by surprise. These lovely ladies managed to hide their pregnancies from the world, or didn’t announce they were expecting, until they absolutely had to share their beautiful, blessed baby news. Heck, there are some celebs who even managed to hide their babies’ births secret. Now that’s impressive.

Blake Lively
Not only was Blake Lively's third pregnancy shocking — the third baby's birth was done in secret.
Lively and Ryan Reynold's surprised the world when the A Simple Favor actress debuted her baby bump at the Pokemon Detective Pikachu premiere.

Eva Mendes
The world has yet to get a close look at Eva's and Ryan Gosling's daughters, Esmerelda and Amada. Heck, the world learned Esmerelda was a blip two months before she was born and with Amada, it was even later. And the news of Amada's didn't break until 10 days after her actual arrival. They may as well be raising unicorns for all we know.

Janet Jackson
News broke in the middle of Jackson's tour that she and then-husband Wissam Al Mana were expecting their first child. The day the news came out, Janet released the video for her latest song, "Dammn Baby." How perfect. FYI, like Bledel and Kartheiser, these two were married in 2012 but didn't confirm the news until the following year.

Kylie Jenner
While it seemed that Kylie Jenner found a happy ending with Travis Scott, (the pair called it quits recently) the real magic between the two resulted in Stormi, their child. It still shocks us that Jenner, a high profile celeb, managed to keep the pregnancy secret for nine months.

Alexis Bledel
Bledel and her husband, Vincent Kartheiser, are so good at the laying-low game, it took an interview with her Gilmore Girls co-star Scott Patterson to reveal to the world that they are indeed parents of a baby boy. FYI, these two also got married in secret so who knows what else they're hiding.

Anne Hathaway
Their pregnancy news wasn't surprising; she and husband Adam Shulman had always wanted kids, but it was the delivery we had no idea about — which we learned two weeks after the actress welcomed Jonathan into the world. Proving once again, anything is possible in Hollywood.
This time around, Hathaway surprised us again with her second pregnancy via Instagram post.

Jessica Simpson
J-Simp and Eric Johnson's daughter, Maxwell, wasn't even walking when they learned they were expecting again. Son Ace was born when Maxie was nearly 14 months old. And a third is on the way for the couple, who revealed in September they are expecting another girl. Surprise, surprise. Again.

Carey Mulligan
She and Marcus Mumford never confirmed that she was actually pregnant but the bump eventually gave her away. They also didn't confirm the birth of their baby girl, daughter Evelyn Grace, until three weeks after Mulligan had her, and the same thing happened two years later with son, Wilfred. And that's how you do that.

Megan Fox
Her first two pregnancies were surprises, so why wouldn't the third be as well? She and Brian Austin Green had already announced they had split when news came out that the two are expecting the third. They promptly got back together and all is fine once again.

Uma Thurman
Uma and Arpad Busson were on and off but during the on times, they learned they were expecting their first child together (though they each have two kids from previous relationships). Likely a shocker for both, who have since parted ways for good.

January Jones
Jones revealed in April 2011 that she was expecting but what's most shocking here is that she never revealed who Xander's father is, as is her right. And we'll probably never know, though the rumour mill churned up that Jones was involved with someone on the set of X-Men: First Class and he's the daddy.

Mila Kunis
Kunis and Ashton Kutcher kept their bun in the oven on the DL but officially revealed the news on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Well, we guess that's one way to announce it, albeit odd for the fiercely private couple.

Luisana Lopilato
Luisana and Michael Bublé have had a rough go of it over the last couple years, with their eldest son, Noah, diagnosed with liver cancer at the age of 3. The couple took time off from their careers to devote themselves to taking care of their son. Not only did Noah beat cancer but a lovely surprise also arrived: in the form of his and Elias' little sister, Vida.

Britney Spears
Back in the day, when Spears and Kevin Federline were married and parents of son Sean Preston, it was a surprise to both of them to learn that another baby was on the way. One year after having Sean, Jayden James was born. Brit and K-Fed may no longer be together but they've done a sweet job co-parenting their boys.
That being said, they've also had to deal with getting slammed for their parenting.

Halle Berry
Berry and Oliver Martinez may be divorced but one great thing came from it: the "biggest surprise of [her] life," their son Maceo-Robert, who came at a time when she thought she was done with having kids.

Behati Prinsloo
We figured it was enough that she bagged Adam Levine but to learn these two beautiful people were also going to have a baby, daughter Dusty Rose, may be the best surprise of them all. For their second child, Gio Grace, the couple took a different route. Prinsloo announced the news on Instagram while Adam revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that it was a girl.

Hilaria Baldwin
It was clear from the get-go that Hilaria and Alec Baldwin wanted a big family but we almost can't keep up with the babies that keep popping out. We wouldn't be surprised if their brood — which currently consists of Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo and Romeo — got even bigger. It's almost as if they don't like sleep.

Kirsten Dunst
Bring on motherhood! The actress and her fiancé, Jesse Plemons, are parents of son Ennis Howard, though it's not like they announced or confirmed the news. The fiercely private couple just do their thing and live their lives. The only reason we know anything is because someone dug up the birth certificate.

Khloe Kardashian
Kim and Kanye had their third baby through a surrogate. Then the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan welcomed baby Stormi. Since good things happen in threes, Khloe was also expecting. Unlike Kylie, however, Khloe eventually went public with her bump. Also unlike Kylie was her beau, Tristan Thompson, was a dirty dog in the weeks leading up to Khloe's delivery. She forgave him though.

Bristol Palin
She was a single teen mom, to son Tripp, and was, at one point, an abstinence ambassador. So after splitting from fiance No. 2, Dakota Meyer, she shocked the world by revealing she was pregnant again. At the time, she claimed the pregnancy was planned (though the breakup wasn't?) and Palin and Meyer eventually reunited and had daughter Sailor Grace. Six months later they were married, expecting their second child together (her third) and in May 2017, daughter Atlee Bay was born. But in news that isn't shocking, the two have since divorced and Bristol now stars on Teen Mom OG.

Bijou Phillips
No one knew Phillips and husband Danny Masterson were expecting a baby until they posted about their daughter's birth on Instagram, five days after her Valentine's Day birth. Not only is that a testament that anything is possible in Hollywood but also that they have great, trustworthy loved ones who didn't blab once about their impending family. Keep that circle close, you two. Or three, we should say.

Angelina Jolie
Jolie and Brad Pitt were already the parents of three beautiful children they adopted from different parts of the world (Maddox, Pax and Zahara) so it was not only a bit of a surprise when daughter Shiloh was born, but two years later, they had twins Knox and Vivienne, completing their perfect family. Then things became not-so-perfect.

Mindy Kaling
Kaling may not have wanted anyone to know she was pregnant but when Oprah accidentally blurted out the news, it's not like she could get mad. Mindy is now mom to Katherine Swati, who was born in December, and motherhood suits her just fine.
