Celebrities who hid their pregnancies

Celebrities who hid their pregnancies

Pregnancy is a fascinating experience for every expectant mom. While many women want to announce the great news on Instagram, some chose to keep their pregnancies a secret for as long as possible. In the age of social media, everybody carries a camera phone in hand and there's very little that goes undocumented. The same can also be said with celebrities who tried to conceal their pregnancies from the public eye. While most of us are pros in spotting clues of a baby bump -- say handbag over the stomach or wearing oversized clothes -- some celebrities managed not just to conceal the baby bump but also the whole belly. For example, Regine Tolentino surprised the public when she announced that she already gave birth to her third child. And how about Phoemela Baranda, who kept her motherhood status a secret only to reveal it 15 years later? We also laud young moms like Sofia Andres and Janella Salvador , who did not give in to the prying eyes of the public and the press and chose to reveal their little bundle of joy at their own time. Whatever their reasons may be for shunning themselves in the limelight, these celebrities managed to keep their little bundle of joy hidden until the last second.
