Baby Bump Radar: Celebrities Expecting in Summer & Fall 2025

It feels like there’s a whole baby boom happening in Hollywood this year. From actors to musicians, celebs are sharing joyful pregnancy news, often in very creative ways. As we head through Summer into Fall 2025, here are some of the most talked-about celebrity pregnancies: who’s expecting, how they announced it, what fans are saying, and what makes each story unique.

1. Cardi B — Fourth Child, First with Stefon Diggs

What we know:

• Announcement: Cardi B confirmed she’s pregnant with her fourth child — this one with NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
  
  

• When: The news came out September 2025, during an interview on CBS Mornings with Gayle King.
  
  

• Due date: She said the baby will arrive before her “Little Miss Drama” tour begins in February 2026. 
  
  

How she shared it / social media & trends:

• Cardi spoke openly in the interview about balancing her life, music (she is releasing an album “Am I The Drama?”), her mental state, and the excitement around expanding her family. She mentioned feeling strong, supported, and like this is a powerful moment in her career and personal life.
  
  

• The announcement was widely shared and celebrated, with many fans commenting on her emotional openness and the juxtaposition of new motherhood + career momentum.
  
  

Why people care / what makes it interesting:

• It’s her first child with Stefon Diggs, making it a new chapter.
  

• The timing: she’s working on big artistic projects (album, tour), so fans are curious how she’ll manage the pregnancy + professional life.
  

• She addressed the decision about when to announce it, citing desire to be sure of the baby’s health, showing a careful, personal side. 

2. Vanessa Hudgens — Baby No. 2

What we know:

• Vanessa Hudgens and her husband, Cole Tucker, are expecting their second child.
  

• The news was officially revealed via Instagram on July 12, 2025.
  

How she shared it / style & social media buzz:

• Her post included multiple maternity-style photos: a bare bump in a cream/boho skirt set, with her husband. Simple, joyful, stylish. Captioned: “Round two!!!!”
  

• A summer highlight from her announcement was her manicure: a trendy “guava-glaze” cat-eye manicure (multi-chromatic, shifts between pink and green) which beauty fans picked up on.
  

• More recently, she showed off her bump in a sequin gown at a wedding in Italy, showing how the bump is becoming part of her social appearances.
  
  

What makes this resonant:

• It’s just a year after her first child (born July 2024), so there’s interest in how close together her pregnancies are.
  

• Hudgens has a history of being somewhat private; she and Tucker didn’t share many details about their first child (e.g. gender, name) so fans are eager for more info.
  

• Her announcement is stylish and ties into fashion/beauty trends (manicure, outfit reveals). That gives people more to talk about than just “she’s pregnant.”
  
  

3. Kieran Culkin & Jazz Charton — Their Third Child

What we know:

• Jazz Charton, Kieran Culkin’s wife, is nine months pregnant with their third child.
  

• Their children already include Kinsey (6) and Wilder (4).
  

How the news came to light / what’s fun:

• Jazz attended the Broadway opening of Waiting for Godot in late September 2025 and was visibly showing. She joked in her Instagram caption that she made a deal with her baby to hold off labor until after the show.
  

• There’s a playful tone: referencing seeing Keanu Reeves on stage, saying “this is very on brand for me” etc. Fans loved the humor.
  

• The announcement also references previous remarks by Culkin about wanting more children (he’d made “baby pacts” in past speeches).
  
  

Why people pay attention:

• It’s the late stage of pregnancy — 9 months — so many assume the arrival is imminent, so there’s speculation about when the birth will happen.
  

• The humor and candidness in how they revealed it gives it character.
  

• Culkin is fairly well known (thanks to Succession etc.), and this helps keep the media interest up.
  
  

4. Alexandra Rose (“Selling the OC” star) — Expecting a Baby Boy

What we know:

• Alexandra Rose, known from Selling the OC and working in real estate, is 8 months pregnant and expecting a baby boy.
  

• The due date: October 19, 2025.
  

How she shared it / highlights:

• She revealed the news via Instagram on Sept 22, with a baby shower held in Huntington Beach, California. Her co-star Alexandra Harper planned the shower from across the country.
  

• Her instagram announcement included a 4D ultrasound image and photos with co-stars and friends at the shower. She wore a cream off-shoulder dress, posed with her partner (identity kept more private).
  
  

What stands out:

• Reality/Netflix stars like hers often get strong fan engagement; shows like Selling the OC give a platform that fans follow closely.
  

• Including the baby shower and ultrasound adds emotional and visual depth to the announcement (not just a posed bump photo).
  

• The relatively public visibility of her with castmates, etc., means there’s more content: photos, commentary, comparing outfits, etc.
  
  

Others to Watch / Rumored or Earlier Announcements

• Rihanna confirmed she is pregnant with her third child, revealed at the Met Gala 2025 via her fashion look + Instagram.
  

• Other predicted or earlier announced pregnancies (e.g. stars expecting in 2025 or late 2025) include many in Pagesix’s celebrity pregnancy roundup: names like Bobby Bones & Caitlin Parker, Debby Ryan & Josh Dun, Perrie Edwards & Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
  
  

Themes & Social Media Dynamics

Here are some patterns that emerge from these announcements:

• Creative reveals: Many choose Instagram slideshows, maternity photo shoots, baby showers, ultrasounds. The visual side is huge.
  

• Fashion / beauty signals: Outfits, manicures, makeup, aesthetic-styled posts are part of how the announcement becomes sharable. (E.g. Hudgens + the guava-glaze manicure; the cream boho sets; sequin gown at the wedding)
  

• Combining public life with privacy: Celebs often share limited information. They may omit due date, baby name, gender, etc. They also often reveal when they feel safe / confirmed in medical check-ups. (Cardi B mentioned waiting till she was confident in the baby’s health before announcing.)
  

• Timing with events / media moments: Using red carpets, weddings, big public appearances, or important personal dates to announce, or at least to display bump. (E.g., Hudgens at a wedding in Italy; Jazz Charton going to see Waiting for Godot)
  

• Fan & media reaction is heartfelt + meme-friendly: When announcements are playful or stylish, fans latch on to specific details (outfit, manicure, quotes). Then media outlets amplify.
  
  

What’s Coming / What to Speculate

• Due date speculation & arrival stories: With several pregnancies in late Summer / early Fall, many will be expecting around end 2025 or early 2026. There will be interest in birth stories.
  

• Balancing work + pregnancy: Careers are often still active — tours, shoots, movies — so how each celebrity plans to balance maternity / parental leave will generate interest.
  

• Postpartum updates & lifestyle content: After the birth, people like to follow their lives, recoveries, how they style bump / baby fashion, postpartum mental-health, etc.
  
  

• Fashion / bump style trends: As those pregnant celebs appear at events, what they wear, how they dress their bump, maternity fashion lines etc.
  
  

There’s so much to capture in this season of celebrity pregnancy news: joy, fashion, vulnerability, growth. Writers and bloggers who can dig into not just who’s having a baby but how they tell the world, what it means for their brand / career / image, and how fans respond, will likely get strong engagement. If I were you, I’d pick 2-3 of the stories above (say Cardi B, Vanessa Hudgens, Jazz Charton), and do a “compare & contrast” post: announcement styles, public reaction, what they each reveal & what they reveal later.
