10 Celebrity and Model Moms Who Absolutely Rocked Pregnancy

Pregnancy can be overwhelming, which can make it feel like a full-time job. That’s why society often pressures mothers to “take it easy” during the nine months of pregnancy. Even high-profile celebrity moms may feel the same expectation to take time off. However, many of them choose to continue working, despite their growing baby bump, and successfully manage both their work and motherhood responsibilities with grace.

1. Halle Berry

Although Halle Berry admitted that filming X-Men: Days of Future Past was a challenge, the actress didn’t want to drop out of the production. The creators of the franchise accommodated her changing figure and filmed most of her scenes early, while also somewhat changing her role of Storm.

2. Naomi Watts

Naomi Watts found out early on during the filming of Eastern Promises that she was pregnant and tried to hide it from her co-stars and crew members. That is, until the costume designer found out that the actress was no longer fitting in her outfits. The creators of the movie were understanding of the situation, and Watts continued to shoot in the role of a midwife.

3. Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez announced she was pregnant with twins while on tour with her then-husband, Marc Anthony. Before that, she performed in several other concerts, showing off her baby bump and leading fans to speculate. The singer was also a presenter at the Movies Rock event later that year.

4. Adriana Lima

In April 2022 while expecting her third child, Adriana Lima returned to the catwalk, showing off her growing bump. The 40-year-old supermodel walked in an Alexander Wang fashion show and put her belly on display.

5. Kate Middleton

The duchess has continued to attend royal engagements for most of all her 3 pregnancies. Although she suffered from hyperemesis and had to cancel a few public events over the years, Kate has always tried her best to make an appearance and often showed off her bump in public.

6. Beyoncé

Also, pregnant with her twins, Beyoncé performed at the Grammy Awards in 2017 while her daughter and husband watched from the audience. Talking about her performance later, the pop star iconically said, “Women like her cannot be contained.”

7. Shanina Shaik

Shanina Shaik exudes a radiant pregnancy glow as she proudly debuts her baby bump on the runway at the amFAR Gala Cannes catwalk show in France. The 31-year-old Australian model looked stunning in an Alexander Wang cream-colored crochet dress with a stylish ruffled cutout accentuating her growing belly. Completing her bridal-themed look, Shaik wore white pumps, slicked-back hair, and a graceful long lace veil as she confidently strutted down the runway.

8. Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot is another actress who had to hide her pregnancy for her most famous role. Godot filmed a few scenes for Wonder Woman while 5 months pregnant with her second daughter, Maya. The crew covered her baby bump with green fabric, so it could later be edited out of the movie.

9. Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra Ambrosio was one of the most famous Victoria’s Secret angels. When she found out she was pregnant right before the 2011 VS Fashion Show, she got really worried.

“When I first found out I was pregnant, I thought, ’Oh my gosh, I don’t think I’m going to be able to walk on the show,’ ” Ambrosio said.

The model chose to keep her pregnancy under wraps and ultimately strutted down the runway while already four months along.

10. Serena Williams

The tennis player found out that she was pregnant just before the start of the Australian Open in 2017. Instead of pulling out, Serena Williams went on to win the competition while 8 weeks pregnant.
