See all the stars who welcomed new babies to their family in 2022 (and the cutest photos of the new arrivals!)

Per Mom Alyssa Scott’s announcement on Instagram, Nick Cannon’s latest addition has arrived! Halo Marie Cannon was born on Dec. 14, making Scott a mother of three and Cannon a father of twelve. Scott commemorated their daughter’s birth with an emotional video on Instagram that touches on welcoming Halo a year after the birth of their son Zen, who died of brain cancer at 5 months old.

“December 14, 2022. Our lives are forever changed ❤️,” Scott wrote in the video’s caption. “Zen is in every breath I take. I know his spirit was with us in the room that morning. I know he is watching down on us. He shows me signs every day. I will hold onto this memory forever.”

In addition to Halo and Zen, Scott is also mom to 4-year-old daughter Zeela.

Love Sean Combs

On Dec. 10, Sean “Diddy” Combs tweeted that his family had grown one baby girl bigger with the arrival of his daughter Love Sean Combs. Though he did not reveal the identity of Love’s mother, the hip-hop mogul named the many people who already adored the newborn baby, writing, “Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!”

Love is the sixth child to call Diddy “Dad.” He also is father to twins D’Lila Star and Jessie James, 15, Chase Combs, 16, King, 24, Justin Dior, 28, and Quincy Taylor Brown, 31, whom he adopted while in a relationship with the child’s late mother and his ex, Kim Porter, who died of pneumonia in 2018 at age 47.

In 2021, Diddy spoke about how the pandemic affected his relationship with his children. “For me, my life got better because I was running myself into the ground and I wasn’t taking enough time for my family and for myself. It’s really been a blessing,” he told Clive Davis during a virtually held pre-Grammy Gala. “I lost the mother of my children and the time that [my kids and I] were sequestered together, it helped me to make up for all those years I was on tour and to get closer to my family.”

Rai Larson Ithiphol

Star Trek: Discovery star Anthony Rapp became a parent on Dec. 2, when he and his fiancé, Ken Ithiphol, welcomed their son via surrogate. The new dads celebrated little Rai Larson’s arrival on Instagram, sharing a sweet photo of the trio. “Ken and I are thrilled to share that our family has grown! 💜🌟,” said Rapp in the caption, adding that his baby’s name “is pronounced like ‘rye’ or ‘chai.'”

The Broadway veteran and Ithiphol–a leadership coach, social researcher and advocate–got engaged in November 2019, after nearly four years of dating.

Pau Gasol’s Son

Former Los Angeles Lakers players Pau Gasol just added a new member to his team! The former NBA pro and his wife, Cat McDonnell, shared the exciting news of their second child’s arrival. “We are beyond happy to welcome our son to the world,” the couple wrote on Instagram, where they posted photos in the hospital. “Everything has gone really well and we are officially a family of 4! 💙”

The baby–whose name is yet to be revealed–is welcomed home by his big sister, 2-year-old Elisabet Gianna, the couple’s first daughter whose middle name pays tribute to Gasol’s friend and former teammate Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna. The father-daughter duo tragically died in a helicopter accident in January 2020.

In November 2021, Gasol told PEOPLE that he planned on having more children. “I’ve enjoyed our baby girl so much. Ellie is incredible and we are looking forward to expanding our family,” he said. “We’ll see what number it ends up being, so one at a time, because you don’t realize the amount of work and dedication that a kid requires until you actually have it.”

Kate Mara and Jamie Bell’s Son

Kate Mara and Jamie Bell kept it simple when sharing a major life update: their second child together, a son, arrived in November. “Had a baby a week ago,” The Martian actress wrote on an Instagram photo of her baby’s tiny toes peeking out from animal pattern pajamas. “Here are his feet 🧡.” The announcement photo mirrored the one she did for her first daughter, 3, whose name she and Bell have kept private.

In May 2019, Mara revealed that she’d suffered a miscarriage prior to conceiving her first born on an episode of Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy Podcast. The Fantastic Four star was a full three months pregnant by the time she’d officially miscarried. “Everything just took so much time, by the time it was all over. It just dragged out forever,” she said.

Bell and Mara’s new bundle of joy not only joins their eldest, but also Bell’s 9-year-old son whom he shares with Evan Rachel Wood.

Ozzie Alexander Cook

Baby no. 2 makes Luke Cook’s brood a family of four! He and his wife, Kara, welcomed their son Ozzie Alexander with an at-home birth on Nov. 15. According to the Dollface actor’s Instagram post, the newborn’s birth came “after a long, deeply groaned labor by my strong, resilient wife @karacookstyle.”

The couple announced that their first born, Chaplin Benjamin, 2, would soon have a brother in August 2022. Cook shared a series of hilarious maternity photos– the first slide showed his wife and her bump, while Kara’s mom and Cook himself posed the same way in the following shots.

In September, before she became an official mom of two, Kara reflected on her experience being pregnant, sharing that “it feels like magic.”

“My body has grown an entire new being from two cells and That process alone makes me feel otherworldly,” the stylist wrote on Instagram. “It’s almost like I’m not completely tethered to this universe but instead have One foot in the realm of the living and the other in another dimension.”

June van Leeuwen

Romee Strijd’s baby no. 2 is here, and she’s a girl! The Dutch model and her fiancé, Laurens van Leeuwen, are officially double girl-parents as of Nov. 11, when baby June arrived. Strijd uploaded a carousel of celebratory baby photos on Instagram, including pictures of June’s older sister Mint, 12 months, welcoming her home.

Strijd shared the news of her second pregnancy back in May, when she posted an Instagram of herself, her fiancé–to whom she got engaged in January, after 12 years of dating– and their eldest daughter. “Soon we will be a family of 4, can’t wait 🥹🤍,” wrote the Victoria’s Secret Angel.

The mother of two has been open about her experience with polycystic ovary syndrome, with which she was diagnosed “after not getting [her] period for 7 years,” as she shared in the caption of her first pregnancy announcement in May 2020. Strijd explained that she was “devastated” upon learning about her diagnosis, which would make it difficult to get pregnant, since “being a mom and starting a family with @laurensvleeuwen is [her] biggest dream.” Eventually, however, her period returned and she was able to shine a beacon of hope for others struggling with fertility.

“[To] the women trying to conceive, believe in yourself and be nice for yourself and your body and don’t let those thoughts get to you to [sic] much,” she said at the end of her post.

Jesse Kenneth Perlow

Ali Stroker is a mom! The Glee alum and her husband, David Perlow, welcomed a son on Nov. 8, and shared the good news a month later, to celebrate Jesse Kenneth’s first milestone birthday. Stroker shared several glimpses into the first month of her son’s life, including a selfie of their trio and a solo shot of the infant wearing a blue and white onesie dotted with stars. The first photo in the carousel shows Mom and Dad holding their baby and a sign that reads “Jesse…1 month old.”

“World meet Jesse Kenneth Perlow! Born 11/8 healthy and so happy to be here!” she captioned the post. “Life will never be the same. We are so lucky that you are our boy! 💙💙💙💙.”

The Tony Award winner shared her and Perlow’s expecting news in July when she posted a sonogram photo stitched together with a couple’s selfie. The new parents first met in college but only started dating long term after they reconnected in 2015, during the Deaf West Theatre revival of Spring Awakening.

“As a lit­tle girl I think I was al­ways afraid of not find­ing some­one who would choose this,” Stroker told PEOPLE in 2019, speaking about her use of a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury she sustained in a car accident at age 2. The musical star explained Perlow is her “dream” partner, “who wants to be by my side and is so proud of me,” she said.

Bowie Breeze Fenison

It was a bumpy ride into the world for Chanel West Coast’s daughter Bowie Breeze! The Ridiculousness co-host delivered her first child– whom she shares with boyfriend Dom Fenison–via c-section “after many hours in labor,” as she revealed on Instagram. “A few complications and she didn’t wanna just pop out on her own.”

The new mom added that it was “the scariest yet most rewarding day of my life by far. Never felt a love like this before. She’s the best thing that ever [happened] to me.” She also shared her love for Fenison, and thanked him “for giving me the greatest gift in the world and being such an amazing dad already.”

West Coast and Fenison revealed their newborn’s name shortly after announcing her birth, when they launched the baby’s very own Instagram account. Bowie’s inaugural post sees her dolled up in a pink beanie, pink pants and even pink mittens that feature the words “Dream big.”

Koa James Watt

Kealia and JJ Watt’s team just got a little bigger! The professional athlete duo welcomed their first baby, Koa James, on Oct. 23, announcing their son’s big arrival on Instagram. “Love and happiness have reached heights we never even knew existed,” they said in the caption.

The Cardinals defensive end and his soccer pro wife announced that they were expecting back in June, when they both shared photos together cradling Kealia’s baby bump. “Could not be more excited. ❤️💙,” JJ said in his caption. Their big news came nearly two years after they married in February 2020.
