30 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Had Children

Matt LeBlanc

Source: Inspired TravellerJoey has a kid: the one thing he was trying to avoid for 236 episodes! He was always great with Emma though, so we're really happy for him (we know, Matt and Joey aren't the same person, but it's still, cute.) After marrying Melissa McKnight in 2003, the couple welcomed Marina Pearl to the world a year later. She was heavily pixelated in photos when she was small (she was ill so it's extra understandable), but here they are more recently looking super adorable!

Keira Knightley

musician, James Righton had their first baby girl in 2015. They managed to keep her name, Edie, secret for several months! Since they revealed her name, they've been more laid back about sharing details. Our fav story is that when Trump was elected, 19 month Edie, swore! What an excellent kid. They also have a second daughter, rumoured to be called Delilah. Those two are good at keeping their babies names hush hush!

Tom Hardy

Source: CelebSuburbTom Hardy's onscreen, bad boy personas might not scream daddy material (not in that way), but in real life he's actually a dad of two boys. Louis (pictured here) whom he had with ex-girlfriend Rachael Speed is now 13, and two children with his wife Charlotte Riley. If you know their names, you're better deceives than we are!Source: Yahoo NewsThis one has a bit of a surprise twist! Idris has two children, Isan, born in 2002 and Winston, born in 2014. The crazy thing is, in 2010, Idris thought he'd had another son. After his family and friends expressed concerns over whether the boy was his, a paternity test proved their suspicions correct! "It wasn't immediately obvious—well, it was, because he didn't look like me. But it wasn't immediately obvious what had gone down,” he told GQ. 

"To be given that and then have it taken away so harshly was like taking a full-on punch in the face: POW." Poor guy.

Jeremy Renner

Source: glammerfame.comJust before his 11 month marriage (ouch) to Sonni Pacheco, the couple had the adorable Ava Berlin. The couple cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their separation (there was a 20 year age gap. Not always a problem but not the easiest thing we imagine...) Under his customary instagram collage for Ava's 8th birthday, Jeremy wrote "I'll walk with you anywhere, from your first step to my last. I'm so blessed to share this amazing journey with you." Very sweet. In a shocking turn of events, his ex-wife has been making some pretty serious allegations about him, but he's refused to comment, saying “

It only empowers it … If you respond to it, you give it gas. I don’t fuel s–t fires. I just don’t do it. I refuse to.”

Lamar Odom

Source: Hollywood lifeIf you knew this one, we're really impressed. Pre-Khloe, Lamar had 3 children with fashion designer Liza Morales. Heartbreakingly, the youngest, Jayden, passed away in his sleep from SIDS when he was just 6 months old. In 2021, Lamar was ordered to play the staggering amount of $380,549 in missed child care support (including $91,220 in outstanding child support fees, $88,117 in missed rent, $161,305 for their children’s college funds, and about $40,000 for Morales’ legal fees etc.) Ouch.

Sofia Vergara

Source: HolaNo, she's not traded Joe in for a younger model. Meet Manolo Gonzalez Vergara, Sofia's son from when she was 19 and married to high-school sweetheart Joe Gonzalez in 1992. Sadly, the pair divorced a year later. She is clearly immensely proud of her boy, telling People,

 “when people compliment me on him, on how well mannered, how charming, funny and well-behaved he is, it makes all the sacrifices worthwhile.”

Heather Morris

Source: PopsugarIt's hard to keep track of the ages of some actors right, especially when they play characters much younger than themselves (yes we are jealous when they can pull that off.) Heather's Glee

 character may be a teenager, but she herself, now 35, has 2 boys: Elijah Beckwith Hubbell (born September 2013) and Barlett Hubbell (born February 2016.)

Kate Hudson

Source: Closer WeeklyThe Almost Famous

 star certainly has a juggling act on her hands, raising 3 kids with 3 dads. She seems to be absolutely rocking it though. Eldest son Ryder was born in 2004, fathered by her then-husband The Crowes

' singer Chris Robinson. In her next relationship with Muse

singer Matt Bellamy (musicians are obviously her type), she had son Bingham in 2011 and finally, in 2018, she welcomed daughter Rani Rose with her now fiancé Danny Fujikawa. They really are a gorgeous bunch, with Kate convinced that the now big bothers will be 'protective and sweet to her [baby girl] always.” We're sure they will too <3

Alexis Bledel

Source: Vanity FairAlexis however, wins the secret mom of the year award hands down. We can find no pictorial evidence of her babe's existence, just a slip up from Gilmore Girls

 co-star Scott Patterson to Glamour in 2016:

 "It was great to see her. She's really blossomed as a woman and now she's a proud new mother and married and happy." Whoops. She also managed to wed baby daddy Vincent Kartheiser in 2014 without anyone knowing! Ninja woman.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

Source: ZoomTV“I realized being a father is the greatest job I have ever had and the greatest job I will ever have,” The Rock shared in 2020, and who wouldn't want the Demi-god of the wind and sea as their dad? His first daughter, Simone, is impressively the youngest person ever to sign a deal with WWE. She is also an IMG model and a Golden Globe Ambassador. Not bad for 21. After his marriage to Dany Garcia (Simone's mum) ended, Dwayne went on to have two more girls, Jasmine and Tiana Gia.

Orlando Bloom

Source: mindlifetv.comThe gorgeous LoTR actor has two children. His eldest, Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland (impressive name), was born in 2011 to Orlando and his wife of three years, Miranda Kerr. Following their divorce, the actor welcomed baby girl Daisy Dove with fiancée Kate Perry. Kate cleverly annoyed the pregnancy in her music video for "Never Worn White".

Kelly Clarkson

Source: Oprah DailyThe American Idol star married Brandon Blackstock in 2013, subsequently becoming step-mum to his two older kids, before going on to have two more of her own. River Rose was born to the couple in 2014 and Remington Alexander, born in 2016. Sadly, after 7 years of marriage, the two went their separate ways, but Kelly is keen to not share too much about that, for the kids; we respect that.

Megan Fox

Source: Popsugar UKDespite her bad ass image, Megan Fox is fiercely protective of her three kids by ex-husband Brian Austin Green. While the world is well aware of her romance with rapper Machine Gun Kelly, photos of Noah Shannon Green, 9, Bodhi Ransom Green, 8, and Journey River Green, 5, are much harder to come by (which is understandable, but sad as they are right cuties!)

Tammin Sursok

Source: mamamia.com.auAnother surprise maybe, again due to her young characters. Tammin has two children: 8 year old Phoenix and 3 year old Lennon. Like so many, she home schooled her girls during lockdown, along with husband Sean McEwen. She reflected to Mamamia that there was "lots of making pizza, cookies, dance parties, movie nights and every Friday we put on Edible Beauty sleep masks and have a pampered 'girl’s night'." Sounds ideal (in an otherwise pants situation.)Apparently it took until her eldest, Luca Cruz, was in school for him to discover that his mom is famous. She recently told Good Morning America 

that she picked up her son from school for him to say, slightly cheekily, that he knew her real name. "He said it with, like, a little glint in his eye, like somebody told him something that I haven't," she said. It must be super weird to find out you parent is a celebrity. We're assuming he'll spill the beans to Banks and Mae before they get as old as he was!

Scarlett Johansson

Source:In one of her many red carpet appearances, SarJo was asked what she thought was the most remarkable thing she's ever done. Without skipping a beat (and with a rammed IMDb profile), she replied: "Probably gave birth. I built a person, then I gave birth to it!" She later told Ellen "I absolutely love being a mom. It's true, it gets better everyday." Despite no longer being with Rose Dorothy's dad, Romain Dauriac, the two remain committed to raising her in a "loving and compassionate environment." Rose's little half brother, Comso, joined the family in 2021. Even if dad Colin Jost's mum was not overly impressed by he name!The French First Dates 

maître 

is famous for bringing romance to the restaurant of love. While he himself has never been married, he does have two children (16 year old Andrea and 11 year old Lucien) with a woman we think is called Alex? That's not just shoddy detective work on our part, he's just very good at keeping things on the D.L. For instance, his current fiancée is called Fruitcake... or so he says! His top parenting quote was said in an interview with Closer

: "Happiness is my kids telling me they love me each day." Amen!Source: PeopleAgain in tip top secrecy, legendary director Quentin, 56, and his wife Daniella, 38, had their first baby, son Leo, in February 2020. Danielle is from Tel Aviv, which is were he was reportedly born. They had another baby, a girl this time, in July of this year. But again, we have no idea what they're called. These celebs ey? Sneaky bunch.

Alfie Allen

Source: Daily MailGame of Thrones 

actor, Alfie Allen, gave his little girl the cutest name: Arrow. After all, his character Theon does have some mad skills with a bow. Little Arrow was born in October, 2018, to Alife and his girlfriend Allie Teliz. His super cute Instagram announcement read:  "With full hearts and overwhelming joy @allieteilz and I introduce you to the newest member of our family. She is perfect."

Louis Tomlinson

Louis' son Freddie Reign, born in January 2016. Louis has since split up with Freddie's mum Calabasas stylist Briana Jungwirth, but even though he was born in the USA, Louis is hopeful he'll perfect the British accent in time.
