They’re the adorable baby photos we’ve been gushing over on social media.
From royalty to reality TV stars, these are the celebrities who have welcomed new arrivals.
Perhaps the most high-profile birth of 2019 was Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bub, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor born on May 6.
The former Suits star, 38, and her royal husband, 35, welcomed their firstborn amid a flurry of media attention, taking him on his first royal tour abroad in South Africa.
The couple announced the birth of “Baby Sussex” in a joint statement on Instagram, declaring simply “it’s a boy”.
Shunning the royal tradition of fronting the media within hours of birth, Prince Harry instead appeared solo.
“I’m very excited to announce that Meghan and myself had a baby boy early this morning, a very healthy boy. Mother and baby are doing incredibly well,” Harry said, speaking in the grounds of Windsor Castle in May.
MIRANDA KERR AND EVAN SPIEGEL
The Australian supermodel, 36, and her Snapchat founder husband Evan Spiegel, 29, added to their brood with the birth of baby Myles in October.
In a statement to People, the couple said: “We are overjoyed at the arrival of Myles and so appreciate everyone’s kind words and wishes during this special time. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome our beautiful son into our family.”
Kerr and Spiegel knew the sex of their baby prior to his arrival, but chose to keep it a secret.
“Yes, we know the sex and we have names,” she previously said.
“But it’s nice to keep a little to yourself.”
JENNIFER HAWKINS AND JAKE WALL
Tanning mogul and former Myer face Jennifer Hawkins welcomed her first child – a baby girl – in October.
In an Instagram post, the TV presenter and former beauty queen shared a first look at her and husband Jake Wall’s daughter along with announcing her name.
“Frankie Violet Hawkins Wall,” Hawkins wrote, alongside three photos of the newborn.
“Dream come true! So thankful to be holding our beautiful healthy baby girl! We couldn’t be more in love!”
MATTY J AND LAURA BYRNE
One of many Bachelor babies! In June, the couple, who met on the reality show in 2017, announced the happy news.
“Welcome to the world you divine little slice of human pudding. Marlie-Mae Rose Johnson … you’re more than we could have ever hoped for,” Byrne posted on social media.
The couple became engaged in April, when Johnson popped the question to Byrne while on a “babymoon” in Fiji.
They also revealed their daughter was named after both Johnson and Byrne’s grandmothers.
SAM AND SNEZANA WOOD
The Bachelor’s Snezana and Sam Wood welcomed their second child together back in July.
The couple, who met on the 2015 season of The Bachelor, shared a series of photos of their newborn girl Charlie Lane on their Instagram accounts.
“Another beautiful little girl to drive Daddy crazy. Charlie Lane Wood you are a little drop from heaven,” Snezana said on Instagram.
It’s the second child for the couple, who welcomed daughter Willow in October 2017.
The reality TV stars tied the knot in Byron Bay last year.
SIMONE FROM THE BACHELOR
Former The Bachelor contestant Simone Ormesher announced the birth of her first child, a baby girl, in October.
The 27-year-old reality star, who appeared on Matty Johnson’s season in 2017 as well as Bachelor in Paradise, welcomed Gracie-Mae into the world with her partner, Matt Thorne.
“After a few complications with baby’s breathing, she was admitted to NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) where she is being looked after but is doing so well and will hopefully be home with us in a couple of days,” Ormesher wrote on social media about the birth.
“We could not have asked for a more stronger, amazing baby girl. We are so in love.”
NATALIE IMBRUGLIA
Singer Natalie Imbruglia announced the birth of her son in October, saying: “My heart is bursting!”
Imbruglia, 44, shared a photo of the baby’s tiny hand clutching her thumb, captioning it: “Welcome to the world … Max Valentine Imbruglia”.
The Torn singer and actor announced in July that she was pregnant with her first child with help from IVF and a sperm donor.
“For those of you who know me, this has been something I have wanted for a very long time,” Imbruglia wrote in an Instagram post.
“I’m blessed that this is possible with the help of IVF and a sperm donor.”
Imbruglia has stayed quiet about who the father is, stating: “I won’t be saying anything more on that publicly.”
TERESA PALMER
The Australian actor welcomed her third child, a baby girl called Poet Lake.
Palmer, 33, shared the news on social media, posting a cute photo of herself cradling the new addition to the family, who was born in Adelaide.
“Our beautiful little girl Poet Lake Palmer arrived Friday night on April 12th. She is pure magic, we feel like we are in a dream,” she captioned the snap.
The Ride Like A Girl star and her husband, filmmaker Mark Webber, already have two boys together, Bodhi Rain, 5, and Forest Sage, 2.
Webber also has a son, Isaac Love, 10, from a previous relationship.
CANDICE AND DAVID WARNER
Cricket couple David and Candice Warner welcomed their third child in July.
Former iron woman Candice gave birth at the exclusive Lindo Wing in London where the royals – and Amal Clooney – also had their babies.
But the birth of their newborn daughter was not without drama. After Australia’s dominant victory over New Zealand, David rushed to be by his wife’s side for the birth of Isla Rose Warner.
The latest addition makes it three girls for the Warner family with Isla joining big sisters Ivy and Indi.
“We welcomed our newest family member Isla Rose Warner at 10:30pm late last night. @candywarner1 was absolutely amazing. Mum and Bub doing very well and her big sisters are over the moon. #prouddad,” David wrote on Instagram.
EMMA FREEDMAN
Fox Sports presenter Emma Freedman and her husband Charlie Rundle welcomed her first baby, son William, in April, with Freedman giving birth earlier than expected.
“It was the next couple of days when we figured out that he did have respiratory distress syndrome which is really common in premmie babies because of underdeveloped lungs and him spending 10 days in intensive care,” Freedman told News Corp.
“That’s tough going, that’s tough work, especially when you’ve just given birth as well and you’ve got hormones running through you, you’re sleep-deprived, you don’t know what your body’s doing and your little boy — I couldn’t pick him up for quite a few days.
“Then you’ve got to trust that they’ll turn the corner. He took a lot of steps backward before he did forward, but once he did turn the corner, it was full steam ahead. Definitely we had a tough start.”
KIM KARDASHIAN AND KANYE WEST
Another year, another Kardashian baby was born.
Kim Kardashian West and rapper husband Kanye West welcomed their fourth child together, a baby boy born named Psalm West via surrogate in May.
“He’s here and he’s perfect!” Kardashian tweeted at the time.
Given West’s much-anticipated album released this year was titled Jesus is King, Psalm’s first name had a very biblical tone.
“Four (children) feels very completed. Growing up, I always said I was going to have four kids and … it happened! I can’t believe it happened,” Kardashian West told Stellar, of her brood: North, 6, Saint, 3, Chicago, one, and new arrival, Psalm.

“We have both dreamt of this for a long time and while the last 2.5 years have been physically and emotionally challenging, there’s nothing we would change as it’s brought us to this beautiful moment”.
Karl Stefanovic will reportedly become a father again in 2020 with claims that his wife of one year Jasmine is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

“They are very happy.” The couple has made no official statement as yet.
Former Married At First Sight star Cyrell Paule – who was dubbed “Cyclone Cyrell” on the Nine reality show – is expecting her first child with ex-boyfriend, Love Island’s Eden Dally. The now-split couple are due to welcome the new arrival in February.

It is understood Paule and Dally have since reconciled.
