Celebrity Baby Boom - Spring 2006

From , former About.com Guide


Hollywood had so many babies born in 2006 and the proud parents couldn't be happier. From Gwyneth Paltrow to Katie Holmes, the stork has been making deliveries all over tinseltown. Check out which celebrities have definitely felt their share of sleep deprivation this year.

Donald Trump and Melania Knauss

Delivered on March 20, 2006: Donald Trump, 59, and his wife Melania, 35, welcomed future billionaire Barron William into the world weighing in at 8 pounds. This is Donald's fifth child and Melania's first. Donald also has children from his two previous marriages to Ivana Trump and Marla Maples. Those child support checks can really start to add up if he's not careful.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

Delivered on April 10, 2006: It's a boy for Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow , 33, and Coldplay's Chris Martin, 29, welcomed their second child into the world. There was so much speculation as to what name they might give their new bundle of joy. The couple, who already have a daughter Apple, named the baby Moses after he arrived via c-section.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

Delivered on April 18, 2006:Tom Cruise, 43 and Katie Holmes, 27, began dating in April of 2005 and now couple known as "TomKat" have given birth to their first child together. They named the new baby girl Suri, which means "red rose" in Persian, but I prefer to call her "TomKitty." Tom already has two adopted children, Connor and Isabella, from his past life when he was married to Nicole Kidman.

Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy

Delivered on April 18, 2006: Tom Cruise may have publicly criticized Brooke Shields for her use of anti-depressants post-pregnancy, but many others applauded her courage. Brooke and her husband Chris Henchy are now the proud parents of another baby girl named Grier Hammond. Ironically, the baby was born on the same day as Tom and Katie, only hours before. The couple also has a 2 year old daughter named Rowan.

Don Johnson and Kelley Johnson

Delivered on April 29, 2006: Actor Don Johnson and his wife Kelley gave birth to another beautiful baby boy. The couple has been married for seven years and already have two children together, Jasper and Grace. Let's hope Don saved his Miami Vice jackets for his kids to borrow on Halloween!

Shaquille O'Neal and Shaunie Nelson

Delivered on May 1, 2006 : Baby makes eight for basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, 34, and his wife Shaunie Nelson, 31, as they celebrate the arrival of their new baby girl. Shaq's wife gave birth to their sixth child and third daughter, Mearah Sanaa O'Neal on May 1, 2006. Mearah is a Biblical name for "den" and Sanaa, means "work of art" in Swahili. They wed in 2002 and have three children together as well as two from previous relationships.

Adam Sandler and Jackie Tittone

Delivered on May 6, 2006: Funny man Adam Sandler, 39, and his wife Jackie, 31, who have been married for 3 years, welcomed a baby girl into the world. Sandler, who had his bulldog participate in his wedding, did make an official statement on his own site stating, "Kid is healthy!! Wife is healthy!!" I suppose that says it all right there.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Delivered on May 27, 2006: After so much anticipation, Angelina Jolie has given birth to Brad Pitt's baby. They named their new daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. Under the watchful eyes of their Namibian security crew, Brangelina managed to evade the press and maintain their privacy. The couple already have a son Maddox and daughter Zahara. Is it safe to assume that this could quite possibly be the world's most genetically blessed baby ever?

Mira Sorvino and Chris Backus

Delivered on May 29, 2006: Mira and her husband Chris gave birth to their second child, Johnny, in Beverly Hills. Mira, 38, and Chris, 24, were married in 2004 and also have an 18-month-old daughter, Mattea Angel. This baby must have been born with a SAG card in his mouth because Chris has done a few guest spots on television, Mira won an Oscar for her role in Woody Allen's Mighty Aphrodite in 1995, and she's also the daughter of actor Paul Sorvino. Hopefully little Johnny's career follows in the footsteps of the more successful parent...Mom.

Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky

Delivered on May 31, 2006: Oscar winner Rachel Weisz, 35, and director Darren Aronofsky, 37, gave birth to their first child together. The actress, who won an Oscar for her role in The Constant Gardener, was surprised to find that she didn't have any cravings for pickles. When asked about his plans to make it official and marry Rachel, Darren said "we're just taking our time."
