Kelly Rowland
After revealing in October to the surprise of many that she was expecting her second child with husband Tim Weatherspoon, Kelly Rowland has said carrying a baby at 39 has been much different than carrying son Titan, 6, years ago.
“My first trimester was a lot of me laying in the bed. It was not like that when I was pregnant at 33,” she said.
The star said she was initially concerned about having another baby, but her village reassured her that she would be just fine.
“I wondered ‘Do I have enough have enough love to share?’” she said. “I’m so grateful for my circle of women because I told them that was my concern and they were all like, ‘You guys are so ready.’”

Cassie
The gorgeous model and singer is expecting her second child after delivering daughter Frankie, 1, last December. People have commented that she isn’t wasting time with her handsome husband Alex Fine. (We don’t blame either of them.)
She shared the news last week with the message “Can’t wait to meet you” to the baby, of course.
“Fine Family just got bigger, heart just got Fuller, light just got brighter,” said Alex. “So blessed to be a dad to the best little girl and husband to the best wife.”
Last September, Cassie and Alex married in a surprise wedding ceremony a month after he proposed to her while she was carrying daughter Frankie.

Fantasia
The singer revealed she and husband Kendall Taylor are expecting after fertility struggles.
“Listen, I was trying to hide it as long as I could from y’all, but I can’t ever hide,” she said. “Keep waiting on God. It was really starting to depress me and him. They said my tube was closed.”
“Don’t worry about what the doctors say. Don’t worry about what your husband says, or even your wife,” Taylor added. “My wife was getting tired of the ups and downs and the let-downs. We think we pregnant and then I’d find her in the bathroom crying in the middle of the night. She was just like, ‘Babe, I can’t do this anymore.'”
Thankfully, everything worked out.

Christina Milian
Christina Milian and Matt Pokora’s son Isaiah is only 10 months old and already the couple is expecting their second child. Like Cassie and Alex, these two certainly didn’t waste any time, either. They announced the news in December with the caption “You and Me + 3,” which includes baby Isaiah, big sister Violet Nash and the baby on the way.
As if that news wasn’t exciting enough, Milian and Pokora reportedly married ahead of their pregnancy announcement. They did so in Paris in front of loved ones, keeping it simple and sweet by tying the knot at a town hall.

Victoria Monet
Singer and songwriter Victoria Monet shared her baby news with a gorgeous photo shoot and lovely message.
“I’m so happy to share that I’ve been promoted to the title just above Queen…Mom,” she wrote in December.
“To my baby, I thank you for choosing me as your mommy! The core of me holds your life right now, and soon your life will be my core!” she added. “I hold my head higher with the confidence you already gift. You are the best of me and I promise to protect you and be the best version of myself for you all ways, always. Hold my pinky with the grip of your little fingers until we can hold hands and walk through this world together rain or shine. You’re forever mine. I got you.”

Brandi Boyd
News of the former Love and Hip Hop Hollywood star’s pregnancy doesn’t necessarily come at the happiest of times. Recently, Boyd and husband, producer Max Lux, were involved in a domestic dispute that was exposed on Instagram Live. Afterward, she thanked people for their support.
“I just want to take this time to thank everyone for your positive prayers and good energy,” she said in a follow-up Instagram video. “I’ve been praying and meditating and trying to get a hold on everything inside.”
Despite all that drama, Boyd happily revealed after the fact that she was expecting the couple’s third child.
“I will never let you guys down,” she wrote, including the captions “#Gods🎁 #Baby3 #Siblings4ever❤️ #UsAgainstTheEvil #MyLightDecorationsMightBeUglyButIMakeBeautifulChildrem #WontBeEasyButAllMyFaithWillRemaininGod”

Taina Williams
She hasn’t publicly confirmed the news yet (and she’s going to keep posting photos of herself looking less than pregnant to avoid the questions), but according to boyfriend G Herbo’s lawyer, Taina Williams, the daughter of Emily Bustamante, is expecting her first child with him. The rapper, who is facing fraud charges for allegedly using stolen credit cards over the last four years to live an extravagant lifestyle, had his business put out there by a reporter who shared his lawyer’s statements on social media. Williams is reportedly four months pregnant. The rapper’s lawyer asked that he be allowed to travel to be with her in her home state of New Jersey.

Deonna McNeill
One of our favorite couples, who wed during Season 9 in Charlotte, broke the news that they are expecting their first child, due the Spring of 2021. Baby Okotie is on the way!
“We are pregnant! It’s surreal to think that less than two years ago we met for the first time at the altar and now we are expanding our family!” they said in a statement. “We are blessed to begin this new chapter and can’t wait to meet our little bundle of joy.”
They also joked with fans that Deonna’s loyal and loving dog, Sandy, was going to have some company.
“Yay! Sandy is going to be a big sister!”

Ashley Darby
After welcoming son Dean in 2019, the Real Housewives of Potomac star Ashley Darby and husband Michael announced they are expecting their second child back in September.
“There’s no hiding this big belly anymore!” she shared at the time. “We are elated to share our news with you! To say we are thankful is an absolute understatement.”
In November, she revealed the sex of their baby, and for the second time, they’re set to welcome a baby boy. She broke that news by surprising him at the end of one of his bike rides with a huge banner announcing the gender and posted it on Instagram.
“Michael has lived in Washington DC for almost 30 years, but this is a bike ride different than any one he’s taken before,” she said.

Khadijah Haqq
Khadijah, the twin sister of Malika Haqq, who welcomed a child in son Ace this year, announced she’s expecting her third child, a daughter (and second girl), soon. In her initial announcement, she shared that she held off on revealing the news to be safe.
“I’m pregnant!!! I couldn’t wait to share that my family is growing and we will soon welcome a new baby in our home,” she said in August.
“I didn’t share right away because the most important thing was that myself and the baby were healthy,” she added. “I had a pre-term labor scare a few weeks ago and was hospitalized. I’m home on bedrest now, feeling good, and so thankful for my doctors.”
She’s doing much better, and recently had a baby shower thrown for her for baby, who will be named Kapri.

Yaya Mayweather
The daughter of Floyd Mayweather did confirm that she’s pregnant, expecting her first child with on-again, off-again boyfriend and rapper NBA Youngboy, but she hasn’t spoken on this major moment. Her father, however, has.
“I just want the best for my daughter,” he told Hollywood Unlocked. “Always want the best.”
“If that makes her happy, then we’re happy,” he added. “What I try not to do is get in her personal business. Because once she’s no longer under my roof, then it’s between her and her better half.”
She had a baby shower in November where it was revealed that she’s expecting a baby boy.

Keyshia Ka’oir
Now, it’s likely that Keyshia and husband, rapper Gucci Mane, are due to welcome their child any day now, which could mean before the new year. But just in case she’s set to deliver after the new year, we thought we would include her.
The couple is expecting a son, their first child together. The rapper has a son from a previous relationship, while Keyshia has three of her own kids from a past relationship. While people are expecting to get to see how the couple raise their son, that may not be the case. Their other kids are kept out of the limelight for a reason.
“Gucci and I both have children,” she said in 2017. “It’s a situation where I’m proud to be a mother, but I need it to be private. I don’t need the kids in the limelight. I don’t want them on social media. I need them to go to school and just be children.”
