2021 has come and gone, but the world may just be a little cuter for it. Plenty of famous folks had babies over the past 12 months, increasing the size of their families and giving us all a reason to smile at their new additions. Here’s a look at some notable stars who welcomed little bundles of joy this year.
Kelly Rowland and Tim Weatherspoon
The former Destiny’s Child singer and her husband welcomed son Noah Jon on Jan. 21. He joined big brother Titan, 7.
“This baby is walking into a whole zone of so much love and attention and affection,” Rowland, 39, had told TODAY Parents before she gave birth.
Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara
The “All About That Bass” singer and her “Spy Kids” star husband became a family of three when they welcomed son Riley on Feb. 8.
In June, Trainor revealed that Riley, who was breech and born by C-section, had a tough birth and they had to wait five days before taking him home.
“It was one of those horror stories where he didn’t cry,” she told TODAY Parents. “He didn’t make noise when he came out. I was like, ‘Why isn’t he crying?’ Then they told me he was having breathing issues. It was terrifying.”
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank
The couple had their first child, a son named August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, on Feb. 9.
It was the first grandchild for Princess Eugenie’s parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, as well as the ninth great-grandchild for the queen, but it wouldn’t be the last. More on that later.
