BABY BOOM

IT WAS A BUMPER YEAR AS CELEBRITIES EXPANDED THEIR BROODS

MARGOT ROBBIE & TOM ACKERLEY

The Aussie actress and movie-making mogul welcomed her first child with husband of eight years Ackerley on October 17, but news of the arrival was kept under wraps for several weeks. While it is known that Robbie, 34, had a boy, his name is yet to be revealed. The new parents have been spotted out walking with a stroller since the arrival of their baby boy. One thing is certain: this Barbie makes a great mother!

CAMERON & JULES MERCHANT

The former Married at First Sight stars welcomed their second child this year. Already parents to 3-year-old Ollie, Jules, 42, and Cam, 40, were delighted to expand their brood with the arrival of Carter James on July 23. “You are just perfection,” his proud mum boasted on Instagram.

SOFIA RICHIE & ELLIOT GRAINGE

The queen of quiet luxury welcomed a baby girl this year with her 31-year-old husband of just over a year. “Eloise Samantha Grainge 5-20-24 best day of my life,” Richie, 26, wrote when announcing the birth of her daughter on Instagram. She has shared snippets of life as a mother and peeks at Eloise, with little toes and tiny outfits in frame, but has decided to keep her child’s face off the internet for now.

JOHN MULANEY & OLIVIA MUNN

It has been quite the year for 44-year-old Munn, who revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in March 2024. “I hope by sharing this it will help others find comfort, inspiration and support on their own journey,” she wrote in an emotional post. But September brought much more positive news as the actress revealed that she and husband Mulaney, 42, had welcomed a daughter via gestational surrogate. They named their daughter Méi June Mulaney, which Munn explained on Instagram means plum in Chinese.
