22 Most Adorable Celebrity Pregnancy Announcements

Ever since the rise of Instagram, celebrity pregnancy announcements have now become a thing, with one becoming better than the next. When a couple (or single parent in some instances) become parents for the first time (or second, third, etc.), they just want the whole world to know. Pregnancy announcements are now a Hallmark holiday along with baby showers and gender revealing parties. Celebrity pregnancy announcements go viral because they seem more important than any other Joe Schmo on Facebook who is expecting. Each celebrity pregnancy announcement gets more creative than the next, and that is what keeps us on our toes.

When we hear of a young, attractive celebrity lady getting knocked up, we examine ourselves and our own biological clocks whether we realize it or not. Their firstborn children often are a part of the announcement picture wearing shirts like "future big brother" or "future big sister". Back when we were this young, a pregnancy announcement only consisted of a phone call or just simply telling friends and family members, "I'm pregnant." Nowadays, it is a spectacle that the whole world needs to know about via a pretty picture on Instagram.

Here are the top 22 most adorable celebrity pregnancy announcements. The best is yet to come.

He's 10 years older than me. He told me on our second date he was serious and wasn't going to wait more than two years to ask me to marry him. Fast-forward two years; he proposed.

1 Jason Biggs And Jenny Mollen Get Goofy

We will always remember Jason Biggs as that adorable but dorky guy from American Pie and various other movies. It is nice to see him come into his own and become a dad. He and wife Jenny Mollen gave a series of different photos announcing their pregnancy in the most hilarious way. Since this was their newborn and they apparently have no idea how to parent, these new gadgets they have just look confusing. “This is how I told my son babies are made #numbertwo,” Mollen, 37, wrote on Instagram. Not only that, but they featured more photos with breast pumps, and other shenanigans it takes to take care of a baby. It looks like not just celebrities but people, in general, are taking more to social media to glorify their impending parenthood. This has officially become a thing now.
