Celebrities who secretly welcomed babies from Kylie Jenner and Naomi Campbell to Justin Timberlake

BEING a celebrity can't be easy – people just seem to want to know everything about you.

Despite this, they are totally entitled to their privacy.

And this is why it seems completely reasonable that some celebs prefer to keep some things on the down-low, such as when they begin dating someone new or when they even decide to start a family.

Here's a look at all the celebrities who kept their pregnancies a secret:

KYLIE JENNER AND TRAVIS SCOTT

At the time, many suspected that she was actually pregnant and because she was only 19 when she conceived, it was somewhat understandable.

Ultimately, she revealed she kept the pregnancy a secret to minimize stress.
