Although she was overjoyed at being pregnant, she wasn’t so happy as she had to open wounds from the past again by contacting Tom Brady. After she got in touch with Brady, she found out that he already found love with another woman and soon will be a father. She passed over the drama and helped Brady to raise the child in co-parenting.

The Kardashian family is very popular because they’ve made their reputation based on their TV drama show. Although the family is numerous in the present, not all of them were born in the best circumstances. Kourtney Kardashian found out that she was pregnant before she ended her relationship with Scott Disick. Nonetheless, Disick was no longer present in Kourtney’s life when she had the baby. However, currently, Scott Disick is present in his child’s life.

Although their relationship didn’t last very long, Kourtney Kardashian was shocked when she found out she was pregnant with Scott Disick’s baby. After a while, they both learned how to be a parent; they’d reconcile and make things go again. However, until 2014, they welcomed two more babies into the world. In 2015, they called it quits because there was no return in their relationship. Currently, they share custody for all three children, and they are enjoying their kids like any other parents.

Businesswoman and actress Elizabeth Hurley and the millionaire Steve Bing dated for more than a year before she found out that she was pregnant. Steve Bing split up with Elizabeth Hurley, and he didn’t want to recognize the child as the child wasn’t his. According to Bing, he never intended to have a child, and Hurley tricked him into this. Elizabeth Hurley was furious, and she decided to raise the child on her own, with no help from Steve Bing, of course.

After Steve Bing stated that the child isn’t his, eventually, he turned around, and he said that if the kid is his, he would provide for child support after a DNA test. After the boy was born, he indeed revealed to be Bing’s child, and he offered a nice amount of money, but Hurley refused to take the money. The money is still there if Elizabeth Hurley wants to take it, but who knows when she’ll be over his hurtful accusations?

Within a year after they got together, they managed to split up, but she wasn’t entirely alone after that.

After that, she found Seal, who helped her raise her daughter, and did a great job too. In 2009, he proved himself to be a worthy father, and he adopted her daughter with Flavio Briatore’s consent.

Actors Benicio del Toro and Kimberly Stewart make one of the most unexpected appearances on the list. After the two enjoyed a fling, their actions consolidated their relationship and united them. After they found out that Kim was pregnant, both of them had to rethink their actions and focus on what they should do from then on. As they were separated, neither of them wanted to reunite, but they did it for the sake of the unborn child.

For two people who only had a fling, their relationship was stronger than ever. They created a bond between them during the years since they knew each other. Benicio was committed to his kid from day one because he was there in the delivery room. His daughter, Delilah, was born in 2011, and since then, he offered full support in raising his kid.

When you hear Kevin’s Federline name, you might go straight to Britney Spears. That’s right, folks, he was the husband of Britney in the early 2000s. He was engaged to Shar Jackson at the time, but he left her to be with Britney. His relationship with Britney was very noisy and controversial, a love that people will not forget easily.

The pair married in 2002 and have a daughter named Sam. However, things started to fall apart with the second pregnancy.

Although they were never married, they have been together since 1996. In 2003, actress and writer Mary-Louise Parker was pregnant with her son, William. Billy Crudup, Watchmen star, wanted to end his relationship with Parker while she was pregnant. The reason was very scandalous because he had been cheating on Parker with Homeland star, Claire Danes, who was 24 at the time. Our Watchmen star was not so faithful like the people used to think, but who are we to judge?

While she didn’t say anything about the break-up, it is needless to say that she didn’t take it well. She even wrote in her autobiography that she was alone and pregnant, and she stated that “it hurts even to breathe”. As we don’t know what Billy Crudup has to say in his defense, Mary-Louise Parker was unapologetic, and she said: “I was in love with him”. Mary-Louise Parker was 24 at the time and very much in love.

These two actors are known for playing in the drama series Gossip Girl. Kelly Rutherford already had one child with her husband when she found out that she was expecting another one in 2008. Then things fell apart, and the couple didn’t do great, so she filed for divorce. A month later, she found out she was pregnant. Expecting a kid didn’t work out for these two, as it failed to keep them together. She ended their marriage in 2008.

Nonetheless, after the divorce ended, they have been involved in custody battles for more than a decade now because Daniel Giersch is a German businessman who took the kids to Monaco. The custody battle became international as she wanted to take her kids back to the United States of America, while Daniel Giersch doesn’t have a US visa. However, the custody process was a very messy one who took more than ten years, negatively impacting Kelly Rutherford.

The relationship between the rapper Nas and Kelis was pretty much over in 2010, but before that, they found out that Kelis was expecting their second child. After they found out that she was pregnant, they decided to give another chance to the relationship and make it work for the sake of the child, according to him. However, the custody process was a very messy one who took more than ten years, negatively impacting Kelly Rutherford.

According to Kelis, she doesn’t approve this version of his, and she didn’t want him back because he cheated. She even put that on Instagram and stated: “I don’t want him back at all.” Kelis opened up later about her relationship and claimed she was mistreated with mental and physical abuse by Nas. That was the main reason for filing for divorce: the bad environment. Well, she knows what is best for her, and we support her!

Later on, Barber proposed to his younger mistress.

Ginny Cha was asking a huge sum of money for alimony to raise all the four kids that she had with Barber, but the football player said that he couldn’t pay that amount of money.

The actress was very secretive about the name of the father, and she only revealed the name of the father four years later.

After four years, Minnie Driver decided to go public and say that Timothy J. Lea is the father of her child.

It hasn’t only been Katy Perry in the middle of a surprise pregnancy when things got a little bit out of hand. This happened when Iggy Azalea was engaged to her other half, Nick Young, when he found out that his ex, Keonna Green was pregnant. Nick had another kid with her, and he decided one was not enough. He went back to Keonna behind Iggy’s back, a fact that had disastrous consequences.

Of course, Iggy Azalea disappeared after she learned what he was doing behind her back. They are glad that they got rid of each other, so the feeling was mutual. At the 2018 NBA Awards, Nick Young was photographed with Keonna Green, who looked pleased to be with Young. The display suggested that they were back together, probably for their children, and making things go to work again.

Bristol Palin, daughter of Sarah Palin, and Dakota Meyer, United States Marine, had a love life like a rollercoaster: with a lot of ups and downs. In 2015, they prepared their wedding, and with just a few days before the wedding, they decided to split and call off the wedding. As the two separated and intended not to see each other again, Palin discovered that she was pregnant one month after their break-up.

After Palin gave birth to her daughter, the battle for custody began. As they were battling for custody, the love flame reignited between them, and they were willing to give things a go again. They managed to get a second go to their relationship, but in 2018 they grew apart once again, and this time for good. Maybe the love flame will reignite for them for a third time, who knows, right? Best of luck!

Mackenzie Douthit McKee, who became famous after being cast in the reality television series 16 and Pregnant, went through a similar thing as Bristol Palin with her partner. She found out she was pregnant after she split with her ex. The situation is different from Palin’s because she had a couple of kids with her partner at the time. They’ve encountered some rough times during their time together, but Joshua walked out on Mackenzie. They’ve been together for a few years and raise their children together when they hit hard times.

They didn’t know that Mackenzie was pregnant when they decided to split. The news of having another baby didn’t change things much between them, unfortunately, or fix their relationship. After all, the couple ended up faking their love and affection in the third season of the reality show because the passion was gone. Last but not least, things have gotten better between them, and it took them a lot of time to reach this stage. Maybe the future holds something for them.

The relationship between television personality Kristin Cavallari and former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is very hard to keep track of because a lot of events happened between them. It seems like they are the perfect couple when they are together, but there are serious accusations as to why they’ve split up. The drama appeared after the stories with “who did the dumping” in 2011. But that doesn’t matter because they got back together after a couple of months. In 2014, they celebrated their first anniversary.

Katy Perry is one of the most famous pop singers in the world, and her last two albums sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, being number one on Billboard 200. Katy Perry is a beautiful woman, and a lot of men wanted to be by her side. Her producer, Diplo, was living the dream alongside Katy, and they’ve enjoyed their relationship for a couple of months. They were together until Kathryn Lockhart gave birth to his son.

Diplo is not very good when it comes to timing from what we can see, as his first child with Lockhart came soon after they started to see each other again. Although the couple decided to break up for good, he got his partner pregnant for a second time. Kathryn Lockhart still has contact with him for the sake of her children. We can say it was terrible timing for Diplo, but who knows?
