The MOST Unique Celebrity Baby Names: Apple, Blue Ivy & More
As the old saying goes, the best things come in small packages.
And this holiday season, many stars are celebrating with the gift of family—including a few new additions who entered the world this year.
For some celebrities, this marks their first Christmas as parents. Take Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse , for instance, who welcomed a baby girl —whose name has yet to be revealed—in March.
"He was there with me and like all dads, he was really nervous," the Daisy Jones & The Six actress told British Vogue about her Twilight fiancé in July, "but for someone who’s quite an anxious person, he’s been very calm." In fact, Suki called Robert "the dad I could have hoped for."
Other first-time parents include Sofia Richie Grainge and Elliot Grainge —who became mom and dad to daughter Eloise in May, just over a year after their star-studded wedding in France —and Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber , who introduced their son this past August with the singer writing on Instagram, “Welcome home Jack Blues Bieber .”
For other famous figures, this year was one of adding to their broods. In May, Ayesha Curry and Stephen Curry 's son Caius Chai joined their family team also consisting of kids Riley , 12; Ryan , 9 and Canon, 6 . And in September, John Mulaney and Olivia Munn welcomed daughter Méi June via surrogate, who is the younger sister of their 3-year-old son Malcolm Hiep .
"I am so proud of my little plum, my little dragon for making the journey to be with us," the X-Men: Apocalypse star wrote in part of a post upon announcing her baby’s arrival. "My heart has exploded."
