When you're looking for something to be happy about - babies and animals always do the trick! Especially if the babies belong to loved celebrities we like to follow.
So let's see the beautiful babies who were born this year to our lovable celebrities.
Some of the mothers mentioned here went back to work looking as if they were never pregnant, but we can still say congratulations to all these new and old parents.
So, let's begin...
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren
The last baby star of the year, born 31 December 2017, is Hayes Alba Warren, the son of stunning Jessica Alba, 36, and her Husband Cash, 38. He is their first son, after two daughters Haven and Honor.

Jessica announced the birth by a cute Instagram photo of Hayes, adding "12/31/17 Best gift to ring in the New Year!! Cash and I feel so blessed. Haven and Honor are already obsessed with their new baby bro."
Hold your babies, there's more!
Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova
For almost 16 years (By 2017) this couple has succeeded in having a very mysterious on and off relationship. It was so mysterious that even Enriques dad, famous Spanish singer Julio, never met Anna for many years. Enrique had confessed that he and his father were not in a good relationship.
As mysterious goes, Anna's pregnancy was also a well-kept secret. They had twins, and every gossip and news outlet were surprised by it. All people knew is that they were doing renovations at the house, and now they know the renovations were actually babyproofing from the media and from hazardous situations. They spent almost $600K in renovations.

Anna once told Women’s Health magazine in an interview that she wants to have children, and she is even willing to adopt if needed. but as we now know, it was not needed. The twins were born December 2017.
Janet Jackson and Wissam Al Mana
Congratulations to them both on the birth of baby boy Eissa! too bad that three months after his birth, mom and dad split up. They both say that they still love one another and that Eissa has nothing to worry about, as they will both be dedicated parents.
Loving mom
You can get a glimpse of her and her new boy on her social media accounts. This 50-year-old famous mom loves sharing. Hope she has great stories to tell Eissa about his passed-away uncle Michael.
Pharrell Williams and Helen Lasichanh
Wow. Not one, not even twins... this couple is parenting a new set of triplets! Right after their birth, mom Helen tweeted that they're all "healthy and happy". The couple has been married since 2013 and they already have an 8-year-old boy called Rocket.
Happy baby
The two boys and a girl's name are still secret, so when it will be revealed, we will update. All dad Pharrell said about his new kids is 'They're awesome. We're ever so grateful.' he also added about Helen: “My wife is SEAL Team Six. There’s nothing she can’t do.”
Gal Gadot and Yaron Versano
Wonder Woman turned Wonder mom. Not for the first time, mind you, but still...
The 32-year-old actress and former 2004 Miss Israel, was already pregnant while filming Wonder Woman, so the production people needed to do some computerized touch ups to hide her belly.
Wonder baby
Her first daughter, 5-year-old Alma was also excited welcoming her new baby sister Maya in March of 2017. We hope both kids turn out wonderful as their mom.
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan
The Zuckerbergs are new parents, once again. As opposed to Enrique and Anna, Mark and Priscilla were not so secretive about their pregnancy and birth, as their second child, August, was plastered all over Facebook.
Facebook Child
Zuckerberg wrote an online letter, or post, to his new daughter saying that "childhood is magical."
He then continued: "You only get to be a child once, so don't spend it worrying too much about the future," Zuckerberg and Chan wrote in the post. "You've got us for that, and we'll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation." Just hope he remembered to stop notifications on that post :-).
Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole
It took this beautiful couple more than two years of a strong relationship to get to this point of being parents. Although they have a 10 year age gap, it doesn't interfere with their love for one another. Their kid was born in March 2017. This good-looking former One Direction band member took to Instagram to announce his new pride and joy.
Bundle of Joy
He wrote, "My close friends and family know there are very few times when I'm left speechless... wow!" We guess he was speechless :-)
He then continued, "I'm incredibly happy to welcome our new baby boy into the world, it's a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life and my favorite memory." Congratulations from us all.
James Corden and Julia Carey

On December 12, 2017, this car-singing funnyman and his beautiful wife Julia Carey became parents to a new baby daughter. Corden Tweeted that both mom and baby are well and doing great.
Talking dad
Because Corden was busy with his wife giving birth, Harry Styles replaced him on his show, so he thanked him as well. Once Corden said that he wanted to call his, then-not-yet-born, daughter Beyonce, but he said that Julia wouldn't allow it.
Spencer and Heidi Pratt
Talk about quick action. Spencer and Heidi have already opened an Instagram account for their two-month-old baby, born October 2017. The baby, named Gunner, arrived after almost a decade of them being together. The new account, by the way, has over 15K followers and counting.
Baby-stagram
If you don't know what Gunner means, Spencer will be happy to explain "He'll probably be a pitcher, so when Gunner steps to the mound, he's going to be gunning those throws down home plate," Pratt said in an interview. "If he wants to be a skier, he's going to be gunning down those moguls. It just applies to a lot of sports."
So we understand that Gunner will be into some type of sport.
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian
Serena has it tough. Three months into motherhood, she pleads for help from friends and family. She doesn't quite know how to act with this new baby at home. But don't worry, she'll get the hang of it, just like many other mothers out there.
Tennis baby
Serena Williams had it hard form the beginning. After she gave birth to her beautiful baby girl, she spent another week in hospital due to complications. She's ok now.
Like the world tennis pro that she is, she'll get over it like a champ. Her baby girl is called Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Jr. and she was named after her father.
Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder
We can't even begin to imagine what level of beauty their baby must be at. Just look at these two. Their first girl, named Bodhi Soleil, was born on July 25th, 2017.
Bigger and bigger
This has not been a secret pregnancy as Reed has been showing us her belly as it grows through her Instagram account. and as you know, we've been watching. On pictures she shared, she was actually talking to her unborn as if to prepare his baby-album for when he grows up.
In one of the photos she wrote, "I don't know you, but only because I feel you. How is it possible to love someone so much already?”
Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk
Wow and wow again. These two must be doing something right for looking as they do. Their new baby girl must have done something much better in her former life to get genes from these two. Their newborn baby girl is named Lea de Seine Shayk Cooper. Say wat?!
Beautiful baby
Two years ago, when babies were not on their minds, Cooper talked to Barbra Walters and said that family is important to him and he will have one soon enough. And do you think that a month later Irina looks as if she had a baby? She doesn't, but we don't have envy in our vocabulary.
Christiano Ronaldo
The ladies man has settled down. Well. not so much. The Real Madrid soccer star is holding his new twin babies born to a surrogate mother from the US. Her identity has not and will not be revealed. The twins, boy and girl, Eva Maria and Mateo, were born on June 8th, 2017.
Soccer Kid
They will enter a family which includes their super hot Portuguese dad, his girlfriend Georgina Rodriquez and his two other kids.
George and Amal Clooney
This picture perfect couple has been blessed with twins, a boy, and girl, named Ella and Alexander back in June 2017.
Amal is a human right lawyer and Clooney, well, you know who he is. Many of us wished he would stay single, but nope. At 56 he became a first-time father, and we're happy for him of course.
Amazing Parents
Clooney said in an interview that baby Ella is elegant and has big beautiful eyes. He said she looked like Amal. About Alexander, he said, jokingly, that he's a thug and a fat little boy. He also said that both he and Amal try to travel with their new kids as much as possible.
Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney
The late-night show host and his wife became parents again on April 21st, 2017. The baby's name is William “Billy” Kimmel. Unfortunately, Billy's birth was not as smooth as his dad's humor and Billy needed to undergo a couple of heart surgeries due to health problems. But luckily for them, and us, the surgeries were successful.
Fun Dad
Kimmel was so pleased with what has happened that he brought Billy to his show and spoke about how important affordable health is, he teared up talking about what had happened to his family, which made him even more adorable than ever.
Cameron Douglas and Viviane Thibes
Jailbird Cameron Douglas has been freed just in time to welcome his new baby girl Lua into this world. Let's hope he becomes a good role model for her. Her mother, Brazilian Viviane Thibes, sure is. Lua was born in December 2017.
Good Role model?
Cameron got sentenced to prison back in 2009 for holding and distributing methamphetamine, and later on smuggling drugs into prison.
Bar Refaeli and Adi Ezra
Hotness alert! Bar Refaeli and husband Adi Ezra became parents once again, a year apart, to baby Elle. Bar, 32, and Adi, 42, are parents to Liv, born almost a year ago.
Still A model
By the way, do you know who else is 42 years old and could have been the father? Leonardo Di Caprio! Her famous Ex. Any case, Bar is happy now, it's obvious. So congratulations!
Beyoncé and Jay-Z

The power couple has power twins! Little Rubi and Carter were born in June 2017, healthy and happy as their parents. Big sister blue Ivy waited in anticipation for her new siblings to arrive.

Zoey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik
The New Girls star and her husband welcomed a new baby boy named Charlie Wolf. He was born in May 2017. It's Zoe's second child with her husband. They are both known for keeping their private life to themselves, but hey... this is a celebrity baby. How long can he be kept under the radar?
New girl
Her first baby, Elsie, was born about a month after their wedding. This time it was all ok :-).
Russell Wilson and Ciara
We love Ciara, and everything that comes out of her, be it her voice or a baby. Their newborn girl, Sienna Princess Wilson, was born in May 2017 and her 2-year-old big brother, Future, waited for his baby sister at home. Sienna is Russell's first biological child.
Happy dad
A close friend of the couple said in an interview that "He is the happiest man on the planet. This dude was made to be a dad. He has always surrounded himself with children, whether he was helping them through his charities or working with them during football season."
Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale
Congratulations as Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale welcomed their second child together on November 16th, 2017. The 38-year-old Neighbors actress said that she was extremely happy and tired. “I’m a little tired but feeling good,” she said in an interview.

Kenzo is the man! The new baby son, born in November 2017, has been in the public eye long before his birth. Ever since Kenzo entered this world, Funnyman Kevin Hart has been raving about him saying how much they look alike, "He's a very attractive child." he said.

Prison baby :-)
In an interview Ben Foster gave three months after her birth he said, "You hallucinate from a lack of sleep, while your heart also expands. In acting, they say ‘cut’ and you can do it again, but with parenting, the tape is on, and, however, we’re behaving, our little people are absorbing it. There’s no redo."
Armie Hammer and Elizabeth Chambers
Hot looking actor Armie Hammer and his wife, Chief Correspondent of the Human Rights Foundation, Elizabeth Chambers Hammer, said hello to their second child. The baby boys' name is Ford Douglas Armand Hammer and he was born Sunday, Jan. 15, 2017.

Baby posting
In a post Hannah wrote, she said 'Derek and I will want our children to understand that the lives they've been given are so fortunate, in so many ways. We'll want them to learn to help others, and to care for others, and to give back to the world." That's called education.
Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied
Lovely Natalie Portman! Adorable baby Amalia Millepied Portman was born in February 2017 to famous mom and Benjamin Millepied. It happened four days before the Oscars, so I'm sure she already picked out her dress, but I'm also sure she was happy not to use it.
Dancing baby
Natalie did not win the Oscars, and it went to La La Land's Emma Stone. But we don't care, do we? Natalie has won the best award ever - being Amalia's mom!
Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski

Congratulations Rosalind Ross! She and famous boyfriend Mel Gibson welcomed their first child (together) back in January 2017. The newborn boy is named Lars Gerard. Mel might look excited, but it's his ninth child! Ninth I tell you!
Love has no age
The only thing noticeable about their relationship is the apparent age gap. It's a whopping 34 years gap between them. They both stand behind their love to each other so we can just join them in their happiness.
Jesse Eisenberg and Anna Strout
After breaking into our world in his famous role as Mark Zuckerberg, Jesse is now playing his most important role - a father. As others before them, this couple also kept the pregnancy quiet, and the name of their new baby is still secret.
Where's the hair?

Chad Michael Murray and Sarah Roemer
We don't really need to add anything to this duo for their daughter's birth, as Chad summed it up amazingly:
"Don't worry little girl you can hold on as tight as you want for as long as you want, I'm already yours & I'll never let go??????? I've now two incredible women in my life. My son & I are two lucky guys. @rooeemer ?❤"
Picture baby
