But who are the A-list parents?

2018 will undoubtedly go down as the year of celebrity babies, with two royal newborns and a long list of celebrity arrivals to its name.

Kate Middleton, Jessica Chastain, Zara Philips, Kate Upton, Pippa Middleton, Kate Hudson, Kim Kardashian, Hilary Duff - the list goes on.

In fact, if you name a high profile woman, the chances are that she gave birth last year.

But now that we're into a new year, how will 2019 compare?

One of the world's most highly anticipated births is set to take place this year, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (Duke and Duchess of Sussex) announcing that they will be expecting a baby in the spring.

But who has become the first celebrity baby of 2019?

A baby girl, welcomed by Billie Piper and her rock singer boyfriend, Johnny Lloyd.

The Secret Diary Of A Call Girl actress already has two sons, 10-year-old Winston and 6-year-old Eugene, but the baby girl - whose name has not yet been announced - is Billie's first daughter.

'Mother and baby are healthy and happy,' a source told the Daily Mail.

'Billie will be so pleased she's had a girl,' another insider reportedly added. 'With two sons, a boyfriend and two ex-husbands, she can sometimes feel surrounded by men.'
