We love a fabulous celeb pregnancy reveal and birth announcement, and luckily for us, 2021 has been full of little baby surprises.

From the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Tan France, to more local figures such as Laura Byrne and Fiona Falkiner, it appears the reports of a pandemic baby boom may have come true.

Here, we unpack some of the wonderful baby arrivals that happened in celeb homes this year.

Watch: Iconic celebrity pregnancy reveals. Post continues below.

Ellidy Pullin

It's been over a year since Aussie snowboard champion Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin died in a freak diving accident. The 32-year-old Winter Olympian was pulled from the water after he was found unresponsive while spearfishing on the Gold Coast last July.

Now, his girlfriend, Ellidy Pullin, has welcomed their child together, who was conceived through IVF after his death.

"Our girl, born 25th October 2021," she captioned an Instagram post, saying her daughter's name is Minnie Alex Pullin.

Back in June, Ellidy announced she was pregnant, saying: "Your Dad and I have been dreaming of you for years little one".

She continued: "When my love had his accident, we all held onto hope that I’d be pregnant that month. We’d been trying for a baby. IVF was on our cards but it wasn’t something I ever imagined I’d be tackling on my own. Bittersweet like none other, I’ve never been more certain or excited about anything in my entire life."

Emily Ratajkowski

Emily Ratajkowski, better known as Em Rata, gave birth to her first child, Sylvester Apollo Bear, on March 8, 2021.

Em Rata has spoken about the wish for gender stereotypes to not constrict her child, saying to Vogue:"I want to be a parent who allows my child to show themself to me.

"And yet I realise that while I may hope my child can determine their own place in the world, they will, no matter what, be faced with the undeniable constraints and constructions of gender before they can speak or, hell, even be born."

Amanda Knox

Amanda Knox' s name will forever be associated with the murder of British student Meredith Kercher, who was found stabbed to death in her bedroom in Perugia, Italy in 2007. Exonerated from the crime, Amanda Knox has focused on activism work, aiming to prevent wrongful convictions.

This year, she welcomed a baby with her husband.

"Since my exoneration, I've struggled to reclaim my identity and protect the people I love from being exploited as tabloid content. It's not easy. I know that I cannot 100 per cent protect my daughter from the kind of treatment I've suffered, but I'm doing the best I can. Which is why this will be the only picture of her I will ever share on social media," Knox wrote.

"I'm so grateful to everyone who has wished us well on our journey to parenthood. Thank you for believing in us."
