Celebrity Baby Announcements

While some expectant couples don't want to know the sex of the baby prior to the day he or she is born, others can't wait and find out long before the birth announcements have been printed. One such pair? Jewel and Ty Murray, who recently revealed they are expecting a boy.

"We would have been happy either way, of course, but we are so excited to be ?having a little boy," Jewel told People magazine.

Her husband, a nine-time World Champion rodeo cowboy, echoed his wife's enthusiasm.

"I have to admit, I was doing a little dance on our way out of the doctor's ?office when we found out!" Murray added.

Though Jewel and Murray are thrilled to welcome a boy, it seems that another expectant celebrity may be hoping to send out pink birth announcements instead – Kate Hudson.

"I think secretly we're all hoping for a girl," Kurt Russell, longtime boyfriend of Hudson's mother, Goldie Hawn, confessed to the news source in a different article.

However, the family is thrilled that there will soon be an addition to the group, regardless of gender.

"It's fun having babies once again. We just really like that. And it's fun to watch them grow. It's fun to see what they're grasping," Russell added.

Congratulations are in order for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. The superstar couple will soon be sending out birth announcements as they recently welcomed a darling baby girl to their family, People magazine reports.

Faith Margaret was born via a surrogate on December 28 in Nashville, Tennessee, though the baby is the couple's biological child.

"They never gave up faith they'd have another child together," a source told the publication, with another friend adding that the couple is absolutely thrilled.

Kidman recently spoke about her and her husband's joy.

"We spent Christmas on tenterhooks and after Faith Margaret was born on December 28, a healthy 8 lbs., 9 oz., we spent New Year's on cloud nine," Kidman said in a statement. "We have been having a wonderful bonding experience with Faith Margaret and feel truly blessed."

Urban and Kidman were married in 2006. This is Urban's second child and Kidman's fourth. The actress gave birth to Sunday Rose two years ago, and has two kids from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise – Isabella, 18, and Connor, 15.

In the past, Kate Hudson has made headlines for her high-profile romances since divorcing from The Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson in 2006, including her relationship with Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez. However, it appears as if Hudson is ready to settle down. People magazine reports that the blonde actress and beau Matthew Bellamy are expecting a child together.

Hudson and Bellamy have been together just under a year. This won't be the first time Hudson will be sending out birth announcements. In 2004, she gave birth to son Ryder, whom she had with Robinson.

"They couldn't be more excited," an insider told the news source. "Kate is really happy. She was always excited to have kids again at some point."

Hudson has opened up in the past about how having Ryder affected her.

"You realize after you have had children that you'll never love anything more than your child," she told the magazine in 2007.

Hudson isn't the only star to announce that she's expecting with a man she has yet to marry. Earlier this week, French actress Marion Cotillard confirmed that she and actor-director Guillaume Canet are anticipating the arrival of their first child. While they aren't wed, the couple has been together since 2007. 

While Pink may not be due for another six months, it appears as though the singer and her husband Carey Hart are ready to print up the birth announcements if they have a son. Pink recently told Access Hollywood that they have already settled on a boy's name – Jameson.

"My dad's name is James, and my brother's name is Jason," Pink told the entertainment program. "[Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey's middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson – we like whiskey. That's a no brainer."

However, it appears that the couple has yet to agree on a name for a girl, even though the doctor believes the couple is expecting a daughter.

"We're all over the place. I'm all about meaning, and Carey feels like he had a girl's hair cut and a girl's name, and he doesn't want kids to have a weird name. I have to get him on the boat for originality, so I'm working on him," Pink explained.

Regardless of the baby's gender, we bet the parents will be thrilled to meet (and name!) their new child. Pink and Carey have been together since 2001, and married in 2006.
