You never know what to expect when Hollywood is expecting. The pregnant celebrities of 2021 include Emma Stone,  reality TV star Josie Bates and more stars who are expecting babies this year. Some of these celebrities are pregnant with their first child (hi, Emma), while others have been around the block.

Regardless of if it’s their first or seventh time as a parent, we’re excited nonetheless to watch their journeys. But before we dive into the pregnant celebrities of 2021, let’s recap some of the most memorable pregnancies from 2020. As one would expect from 2020 (a.k.a. the year couples across the world stayed indoors for the foreseeable future), there was a lot of baby-making. Pregnant celebrities in 2020 included Lea Michele (who gave birth to her first child with husband Zandy Reich in August 2020), Emma Roberts (who gave birth to her first child with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund in December 2020) and Hilary Duff (who announced she was expecting her third child in October 2020).

“Ever since I was little, I wanted to have a baby, in theory. When I was a kid, I begged my mom to have another baby. The day she brought my sister home from the hospital, I remember holding her, wanting to dress and play with her,” Roberts wrote in an essay for Cosmpolitan in November 2020.

But that was 2020. It’s time look forward to 2021. Read about the pregnant celebrities of 2021 ahead.

Ashley Graham confirmed in an Instagram post in July 2021 that she and her husband, Justin Ervin, are expecting their second child. She announced the news with a photo taken by her husband of her in a storm as she cradles her baby bump. “In the past year has been full of tiny surprises, big griefs, familiar beginnings and new stories. i’m just beginning to process and celebrate what this next chapter means for us ,” she captioned the post.

Scarlett Johansson

News broke in July 2021 that Scarlett Johansson and her husband, Colin Jost, are expecting their first child together seven months after their wedding in October 2020. “Scarlett is actually due soon, I know she and Colin are thrilled,” a source told Page Six. “Scarlett is pregnant but has been keeping it very quiet. She has been keeping a very low profile.”

The insider revealed that ScarJo’s pregnancy is the reason she didn’t do much press for Black Widow, which premiered days before news broke of her pregnancy. “She hasn’t been doing many interviews or events to promote ‘Black Widow,’ which is surprising since it is a huge Marvel/Disney release and she is both the star and an executive producer,” the insider said.

The actress also skipped a screening of Black Widow, which she stars in an executive produces, in Hamptons, New York, in July 2021. “Scarlett usually spends a lot of the summer out in Amagansett and Montauk, and you’d often see her walking her dogs on the beach or getting coffee. But this summer it seems like she is deliberately trying to keep a low profile,” a second source said.

Goulding revealed to Vogue in February 2021 that she’s pregnant with her and her husband Caspar Jopling’s first child. Goulding, who married Jopling in 2019, told Vogue that she was “pregnant and had no idea” during a show at the V&A Museum in August 2019. “That was [around] the time when Caspar and I went away briefly when we were allowed to for our one-year anniversary, and that’s basically when we found out,” she said. “It was crazy because it was our one-year anniversary. That was not the plan. The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality. Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human.”

She continued, “I want a better word than ‘womanly,’ [but] — I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it.”

Though she was in “denial” about her pregnancy at first, Goulding told Vogue that she’s “excited to be a mother.” “The sickness and tiredness was nothing I’d ever experienced before,” she said “I feel like it’s a taboo to talk about pregnancy as being challenging. It’s not always serene and like you’re not always glowing. I’m not saying that every second of this pregnancy has been miserable…It’s not always going to be easy. [But] I have a newfound respect for any woman who has children.”
