Constance Wu, Mindy Kaling, & Billie Lourd are a few of the many stars who were able to keep their pregnancies under wraps until they gave birth — see some of the most shocking right here.

Celebrities like Constance Wu, Emily Maynard, Billie Lourd, Kylie Jenner, and Iggy Azalea may be in a major spotlight most of the time but it doesn’t mean they can’t keep a huge secret, like having a baby, if they want to! These ladies are just some of the many stars who have shocked fans with a reported or confirmed birth announcement in recent years. Whether they were welcoming their first child or adding to their brood, there have been plenty of clever and careful parents in the film, television, and music industry who wanted to keep their precious and important life change private and we’re taking a look at some of the most memorable right here.

Constance Wu

Constance welcomed her first child, a daughter, with her boyfriend Ryan Kattner in the summer of 2020, according to E! News. The breaking news made headlines in Dec. 2020 and was a major surprise considering the actress was out of the spotlight for most of the year. Her last public appearance before the birth was in Feb. 2020 when she showed up on the red carpet of the Queerties 2020 Awards Reception and the 22nd Costume Designers Guild Awards. She was also very quiet on social media throughout the year.

“They are doing great, and they’re so excited and happy,” a source told the outlet about the couple’s feelings on their new addition.

Emily Maynard

Emily shocked many people when she announced she was expecting her fifth child with husband Tyler Johnson on Oct. 16. Just one day later, the Bachelorette star made an even bigger announcement when her baby girl was welcomed into the world. “baby #5….oh heavenly day….” she captioned an Instagram video that showed her at the hospital the moment the new addition arrived, which can be seen below. “{thank you @heartstonefilms for helping me with my ideas and short deadlines ❤️} @mtylerjohnson.”

Emily and Tyler already share three sons, including Jennings, 5, Gibson, 4, and Gatlin, 2. She also has a 15-year-old daughter Josephine, whom she shared with the late race car driver Ricky Hendrick.

Mindy Kaling, is one of the latest celebrities to reveal that she secretly welcomed a baby in 2020. The 41-year-old The Mindy Project actress confirmed she welcomed her second child, son Spencer, on Sept. 3. But she waited until an Oct. 8 appearance on The Late Show to break the news. “I’m telling it for the first time now, it feels so strange. But I gave birth to a baby boy on September 3,” Mindy revealed to Stephen Colbert. “I know! I know! This is news to a lot of people..It’s true,” she added, as the late night host exclaimed, “No one even knew you were pregnant!”

Thanks to most stars staying under the radar and in quarantine for most of 2020, Mindy was able to hide her baby bump from fans. As with her first pregnancy in 2017, Mindy has not named who the father of her child is, raising her family as a proud single mom. She gave birth to daughter Katherine “Kit” Kaling in Dec. 2017, with Mindy staying secretive about her exact arrival date. This time around at least fans know her son’s birthdate.

Billie Lourd

Billie Lourd surprised the world when she announced the arrival of son Kingston Fisher Lourd Rydell presumably with fiancé Austen Rydell, also 28. “Introducing: Kingston Fisher Lourd Rydell,” she captioned an adorable photo of the baby’s feet, adding several blue heart and crown emojis. The Scream Queens alum didn’t announce her pregnancy prior to the photo, however, got engaged to Austin in June 2020.
