Is that public knowledge? I just outed him, I just outed his baby."by Leyla MohammedBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLink While some celebrities tend to overshare when it comes to parenting, others have maintained a low profile over the years - so much so that they've even avoided revealing that they'd have kids until after the fact. Here's a roundup of famous figures who opted to put privacy first and keep their kids' birth a secret: 1. In 2023, Adam Driver casually revealed that his wife, Joanne Tucker, had given birth to their second child eight months prior. "I have an older son who is six, and so she, now she's eight months, and you kind of forget how much babies kinda suck," he said as he discussed what it was like raising a newborn again. "The first time, it went too fast, and I was so anxious for him to kind of develop so he could communicate and tell me what was wrong." Cindy Ord / Getty Images Adam noted that he was focused on trying to "enjoy" parenting a little more the second time around. 2. A month after privately welcoming her second child, Mindy Kaling publicly shared on Stephen Colbert's talk show, "I'm telling it for the first time now, it feels so strange. But I gave birth to a baby boy on September 3." Stephen replied, "No one even knew you were pregnant!" to which Mindy said, "I know! I know! This is news to a lot of people."

In fact, he wasn't even the one to eventually reveal that he'd welcomed a child - Amy Schumer was. In March 2022, Amy - who starred alongside Michael in Life & Beth - publicly said, "Michael has a baby, too. Is that public knowledge? I just outed him, I just outed his baby." Days later, Michael clarified that he and his wife, Nadine, had indeed welcomed their first child together six months prior. Nbc / Getty Images 4. Just five months after announcing the arrival of her and John Legend's third child, Chrissy Teigen revealed that they'd welcomed a fourth baby via surrogate. She wrote, "We want to say thank you for this incredible gift you have given us, Alexandra," referring to their surrogate. "And we are so happy to tell the world he is here, with a name forever connected to you, Wren Alexander Stephens." Nbc / Getty Images 5. In 2022, Rebel Wilson left fans shocked when she revealed that she'd welcomed her first child. "Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate," she wrote on Instagram alongside a sweet photo of the little one. "I can't even describe the love I have for her, she's a beautiful miracle!" Gary Gershoff / Getty Images "I am forever grateful to everyone who has been involved, (you know who you are), this has been years in the making...but particularly wanted to thank my gorgeous surrogate who carried her and birthed her with such grace and care. Thank you for helping me start my own family, it's an amazing gift. The BEST gift!!" Rebel said."I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable. I am learning quickly...much respect to all the Mums out there! Proud to be in your club," she added. 6. Roughly two years after the birth of her and Elon Musk's first son, X Æ A-12, Grimes casually revealed during a Vanity Fair interview that they'd quietly welcomed a daughter. The writer of the interview noted that they heard a "lone cry from an infant upstairs" while chatting to Grimes, who eventually "buried her face in her hands" and said, "I don't know. I don't know what I was thinking." The artist later revealed that her daughter's full name is "Exa Dark Sideræl Musk." Wwd / Getty Images 7. Eight days after welcoming her and John Mulaney's second child via surrogate, Olivia Munn broke the news on Instagram. She wrote on September 22, "Méi June Mulaney came into the world September 14, 2024, the year of the dragon. I had so many profound emotions about not being able to carry my daughter. When I first met our gestational surrogate we spoke mother to mother. She showed me so much grace and understanding, I knew I had found a real-life angel. Words cannot express my gratitude that she kept our baby safe for 9 months and made our dreams come true." View this photo on Instagram Instagram: @oliviamunn 8. At the start of 2023, Riley Keough's husband, Ben Smith-Peterson, confirmed that they quietly welcomed a daughter in 2022. While sharing a tribute on his wife's behalf during a memorial service for Lisa Marie Presley, he said, "I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters. Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity. I'm a p
