Mindy Kaling surprised the world by announcing on The Stephen Colbert Show that she had secretly given birth to a baby boy named Spencer. She chose not to make an official pregnancy announcement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kaling credited the quarantine for helping her keep the pregnancy secret, as there was less public scrutiny. Her daughter Katherine initially had concerns about her toys being taken, but eventually became a big fan of her baby brother.
The article also mentions Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, who kept the news of their second child's arrival via surrogate under wraps until after the birth.
They already had a daughter named Sunday Rose. Kidman explained that they wanted to protect their daughter's privacy and respect the privacy of their surrogate. The name Faith was chosen as it symbolized the faith they needed throughout the pregnancy, and Margaret was Kidman's grandmother's name, who served as an inspiration due to having her last baby at 49.
The article concludes by mentioning other celebrities who have also kept their pregnancies and surrogacy journeys private, such as Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Kanye West. These examples highlight how some famous parents choose to maintain privacy and share their baby news on their own terms.
