Hollywood just gets cuter and cuter, and the celebrity babies of 2021 are no exception. But before we talk about all the stars who have given birth or welcomed newborns in the past year, let’s look back at the celebrity babies born in 2020 because there sure were a lot of them.

2020 may be remembered as a dumpster fire, but for many stars, it marked a happy time where they became first-time parents or added new kids to their ever-growing families. In August 2020, Katy Perry became a first-time mom after she welcomed daughter Daisy Dove Bloom with partner Orlando Bloom. In September 2020, Perry went on a Twitter thread about how much she admires her mom now that she’s a parent. “Popular misconception: being a mom isn’t a full time job,” she wrote. “part 2: when a mom finally goes back to work (whatever profession they do) it’s not like they been coming from months of “time off…” she’s coming from a full time job… of being a mom, lol.” She continued, “Part 3: call your mom and tell her you love and appreciate her and advocate for paid family leave!…Part 4. I love my job.”

Along with Perry, other first-time moms in 2021 include Lea Michele (who welcomed her first child with husband Zandy Reich in August 2020), Emma Roberts (who gave birth to her newborn with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund in December 2020) and Nikki Bella (who gave birth to her son a day apart from her sister Brie Bella.) Who will be the stars who welcome kids this year? Meet the celebrity babies of 2021 ahead.
