23 Celebrities Who Blessed Us With The Sweetest Baby Announcements On Instagram

by Emily Westbrooks

If you're anything like me, you live for baby announcements, and you don't discriminate: Friends, family, strangers, celebrities, they're all amazing, and you love them all. Instagram might have wasted many (enjoyable) hours of my life, but at least it reliably brings great joy when I get to share in the excitement of a new life coming into the world! These are some of the sweetest celebrity baby announcements on Instagram, in case you are similarly smitten with helping welcome new tiny ones into the world, whether you know them or not.

I'll go out on a limb and say that no baby announcement isn't sweet, but some are particularly adorable, heartfelt, or even creative. While some moms opt not to show their babies' faces, they still get the news out into the world with the help of tiny baby feet, socks, or even Wubanubs.

However celebrities announce the births of their children, the appeal remains the same: Birth is a great equalizer. It makes famous people seem like one of us regular folk, sharing in the joy of adding a new member to the family. The only difference is that they're perhaps a little more pampered —and possibly a little more attractive — than us.

Zoe Saldana

When Zoe Saldana gave birth to twin boys Cy and Bowie, she shared this snap of double bottles and double Wubanubs — and a background of a whole lot of food. All twin newborn baby survival items!

Vanessa Lachey

What better way to welcome a Christmas Eve baby than with a teeny tiny hand and a little sparkly bling. Vanessa and Nick Lachey welcomed their third son, Phoenix Robert, as their own Christmas miracle and this was their announcement.

Kelly Clarkson

Black and white photo? Check. Tiny knit pants? Check. Casually resting on dad's watch? Done. When Kelly Clarkson and husband Brandon Blackstock welcomed son Remy, they shared the news on Instagram with this dreamy photo.

Coco Rocha

Of course, in the Instagram world we now live in, some babies get announcements and some babies get their own Instagram accounts. Coco Rocha and James Conran welcomed this little bundle, Ioni James, in 2015 and promptly started a new Instagram account for the announcement.

Serena Williams

There's something so natural about a new mama with a baby on her chest that makes the perfect baby announcement. Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., Serena Williams' first child with husband Alexis Ohanian, looks positively cozy.

Jessica Alba

Sometimes all you need is a sleeping baby with mittens to announce a new baby into the world, like this pic of Hayes Alba Warren, born to parents Jessica Alba and Cash Warren on New Year's eve 2017.

Jamie Lynn Sigler

Jamie Lynn Sigler didn't just announce the birth of new bundle Jack Adam with a single photo, she went for the full album, complete with adorable pics of older brother Beau holding the new addition.

8

Gal Gadot

A photo of the newly minted family of four is a sweet way to announce that the little sister is finally here. Case in point: This shot of Gal Gadot and husband Yaron Varsano who welcomed baby Maya, with big sister Alma helping to push the stroller.

Camilla Luddington

Thank goodness Instagram lets you posts videos. This sweet one of Camilla Luddington and her partner Matthew Alan with their teeny new addition Hayden captures their awe perfectly.

What's an Instagram announcement without a proper hashtag? Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis get to use #internationaldayofthegirl every year on Daisy Josephine's birthday. Not too shabby!

17

Kyle Jenner

While there isn't a photo of a brand new baby in this Instagram post from new mom Kyle Jenner, it is equally sweet that she chose to keep the details of her new daughter, born February 1, private. She quickly followed this post with a teaser clip of a video (available on YouTube) that followed her pregnancy journey.

18
