All the celebrities who've welcomed babies this year, including Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who just announced the name of their baby girl!
If there's one thing we learnt in the last 18 months (you know, besides where to buy the chicest face masks), it was the importance of positive stories. Something to make you smile and remind you of the good things in the world in amongst all the doom and gloom.
The best way to do that? Babies, of course! So we thought we'd round up all the celebrities who have given birth – from new parents KJ Apa and model Clara Berry to Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who just announced the name of their baby girl.
The Queen's granddaughter, Princess Beatrice, gave birth to her first child on Saturday 18 September 2021, at exactly 23:42.

Thank you to the Midwife team and everyone at the hospital for their wonderful care.”
Now, the happy couple have finally revealed that they have named their daughter Sienna Elizabeth, with her middle name being a lovely nod to her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. The news was announced on 1 October 2021, in a statement that read: "Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi have named their daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi.
"The couple have said, ‘We are all doing well and Wolfie is the best big brother to Sienna.’"

Halsey hasn't revealed the baby's sex, and back in February, they opened up about their pregnancy on Instagram, explaining that "it has leveled [their] perception of gender entirely".
"I’ve been thinking lots about my body," she wrote. "it’s strange to watch yourself change so quickly. I thought pregnancy would give me very strong, binary feelings about 'womanhood' but truly it has leveled my perception of gender entirely. My sensitivity to my body has made me hyper aware of my humanness and that’s all."
Back in June, Ellie Goulding shared a first glimpse at her adorable baby boy Arthur Ever Winter Jopling who was born on 29th April. The singer posted a short video to Instagram documenting her pregnancy journey, with the final shot showing Arthur lying on his mum's chest, with Ellie looking adoringly at her new son.
