The year 2022 is coming to an end. In addition to many negative headlines, positive news in the form of sweet baby news are also remembered. We owe this to the following stars, among others.
Ever since Rihanna (34) announced her pregnancy at the end of January, fans have been eagerly awaiting the offspring. The singer sweetened the waiting time with sexy reinterpretations of classic maternity wear. Instead of hiding her baby ball, she deliberately staged it with cropped tops and transparent fabrics. Fashion inspiration ended in May, to the disappointment of expectant mothers. The reason: Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky (34), according to media reports, became parents for the first time on May 13. However, the couple did not officially confirm the due date.
Adriana Lima was blown away by Rihanna's revolution in maternity wear. "Thank you @badgalriri for opening the door.

Sophie Turner (26) and Joe Jonas (33) also increased their family in 2022. Two-year-old Willa was joined by a little sister in mid-July. A spokesman for the couple confirmed to People magazine: "Joe and Sophie are delighted to announce the arrival of their little girl." Shortly before the birth, the father-to-be revealed in an interview with the US magazine "People": "I think [I'm this time] maybe a little less nervous." Nevertheless, they would be "so happy" about the addition to the family, his wife said in an "Elle" cover story. The "Game of Thrones" actress and the musician have been married since 2019.
There was also fatherly joy with Joe Jonas' brother Nick (30). But it was a long way to get there: daughter Malti Marie, who was born by surrogacy at the beginning of the year, spent over 100 days in intensive care before she was allowed to go home with her parents. On the occasion of Mother's Day, Nick Jonas recalled the difficult time and dedicated touching lines to his wife Priyanka Chopra (40). "You are already an amazing mom. Happy Mother's Day. Love you," he wrote on Instagram. The US musician and the Indian actress met in 2017 and married a year later.
The time after the birth of her second child also demanded a lot from reality TV star Kylie Jenner (25). She "cried nonstop for three weeks," the entrepreneur said in the trailer for the new season of "The Kardashians". In childbirth, however, she always remembered that she had created a human being, "a beautiful, healthy boy". The name of the brother of four-year-old Stormi, who was born on February 2nd, 2022, is not yet known. Certainly not Wolf Webster, as Jenner clarified in an Instagram story at the end of March. She and partner Travis Scott, 31, "just didn't feel like it was the right [name]."
Cristiano Ronaldo (37) and Georgina Rodriguez (28) had to experience painfully in the spring how close joy and sorrow are to each other. Of the twins Bella Esmeralda and Ángel, born on April 18, only the girl survived. In an interview with Piers Morgan (57), the footballer spoke of "probably the worst moment" in his life since his father's death. Only the birth of the girl gave him and his partner the strength to "experience this moment with some hope and joy," wrote the Portuguese on Instagram. The couple are parents of two children together. Ronaldo brought three more into the relationship.
After the "Rust" tragedy, Alec (64) and Hilaria (28) Baldwin reported to their Instagram community in March with more positive news: "A new Baldwinito is coming in the fall," they announced. Ilaria, born on September 22, is the seventh child of the couple, who have been married since 2012. The actor also has 26-year-old daughter Ireland with ex-wife Kim Basinger (68).
Quentin Tarantino (59) can also enjoy late fatherhood. His wife Daniella, 39, gave birth to a daughter on July 2, according to a statement released to People magazine. The two have been parents to son Leo since February 2020. US director Quentin Tarantino and the Israeli singer and actress met in 2009 at the Jerusalem Film Festival. They got engaged in 2017, and a year later they said yes in Beverly Hills.
In the midst of his "The Matematics" tour, musician Ed Sheeran (31) surprised him with baby news in May. He and his wife Cherry Seaborn (30) had "another beautiful girl" after the two-year-old Lyra, was under a now no longer available Instagram photo that showed a pair of baby socks. His family was arguably one of the reasons why the British singer-songwriter decided to take time off until 2023.
Christin Stark (33) gave birth to her first child in the spring, as the pop singer announced via Instagram. Daughter Zoe described her in an interview with the news agency spot on news as "the greatest gift on earth". She was "really a pretty girl," agreed the proud father Matthias Reim (64) in an interview with the "Bild" newspaper. For the "Damn, I love you" interpreter, Zoe is the seventh child from the sixth wife.
"Here she is," announced a proud Lena Gercke (34) on Instagram shortly before Christmas. What was meant was daughter Lia, who saw the light of day in mid-December. It is the second child for the former "Germany's next top model" winner and her partner Dustin Schöne (37). The model and director have been parents to little Zoe since July 2020 and have been in a relationship since 2019.
Lena Gercke "shines so beautifully", Barbara Meier (36) had raved about her pregnant model colleague in the summer. The 36-year-old also gave birth to her second child this year. "My little sister Emilia Elise is here! I am very happy that Mama and Emilia are doing so well and that there are finally four of us!" Barbara Meier wrote on November 23 on behalf of her two-year-old daughter Marie-Therese on Instagram. The father of the two girls is the Austrian entrepreneur Klemens Hallmann (46), with whom the model has been married since June 2019.
