There's no doubt that celebrities make pregnancy look pretty darn glamorous. Sure, they may share an amusing anecdote or two on the talk show circuit or on social media, but for the most part, they look flawless every time they step outside their door — even if they'd rather be wearing sweatpants and flip-flops. I mean, who could ever forget the shot that Kim Kardashian shared of her stunning strappy sandals leaving marks on her swollen pregnant feet from where they cut into her skin? Ouch!
Well, while not every pregnant woman has the energy to go through the full hair and make-up like a lot of celebrity moms do, there's one thing that all pregnant women have in common, regardless of whether they're a celebrity or not — cravings. That's right — even celebrities, who are used to being on diets pretty much constantly, indulge in their cravings when they're pregnant. Most don't want to gain more weight than they need to because they know that losing it after giving birth will be necessary, but they'll treat themselves every now and then and indulge those cravings.
If you've ever wondered what pregnant celebs are snacking on to satisfy those late night cravings, we've got your answers — here are 15 celebs and what they couldn't get enough of while they were pregnant.
15 Khloe Kardashian Is Indulging Her Sweet Tooth With Oreos
Everyone has been obsessed with Khloe Kardashian's pregnancy — and, of course, baby sister Kylie's pregnancy at the same time. While Kim and Kourtney both have multiple children at this point, this is Khloe's first. And, it comes at a point in Khloe's life where she's really health-conscious and not down to eat junk food 24/7 — after all, she worked hard to get that body! Well, while she's confessed that she's still being pretty healthy and trying not to go wild indulging on every whim, a source close to her has admitted that she's all about the sugary treats during her pregnancy — including Oreos. We know she always has a supply of them in her perfectly organized jars, thanks to the KhlO-C-D- video she shared, so she may just be replenishing those a little more often lately!
14 Chrissy Teigen Was All About Sweets — And Burritos
We have to admit — we were totally curious about Chrissy Teigen's pregnancy cravings, given that she's on baby number two now, and given what a huge foodie she is. This is a woman who literally has a cookbook — so we're dying to know what she's putting together in the kitchen to satisfy her pregnancy cravings. Apparently, she was on the carb train — she joked about eating a burrito the size of her head, and her hubby shared that she had a bit more of a sweet tooth. We'll never forget the iconic photo of Chrissy buying 50 donuts like a total boss. Hey, sometimes you just want to sample every flavor in the shop, nothing wrong with that! She's likely swapping out her daily branzino dinner for something with little more carbs.
13 Kourtney' Kardashian's Go-To Pregnancy Craving Is Nilla Wafers
Apparently, when Kourtney was pregnant, she had a very specific craving — and she had the exact same craving during each of her pregnancies, which is a little unusual. Pregnant Kourtney apparently can't get enough of Nilla Wafer cookies — she confessed to Natural Health that she develops a bit of an obsession with the packaged cookie every single time she's pregnant. It seems like an unusual choice for someone who is normally so into healthy foods, but that's what cravings are all about! While Khloe has confessed some of her pregnancy cravings, Kylie is keeping incredible hush-hush about her entire pregnancy, so who knows — maybe Kylie is the one who inherited Kourtney's love of Nilla wafers during pregnancy, and is packing away boxes and boxes of the treat while she's hiding away from the public eye.
12 Mila Kunis Wanted Jars And Jars Of Sauerkraut
Ashton Kutcher seems like the kind of partner who would be more than happy to run out in the middle of the night to get his partner something — he and Mila just seem like the most adorable couple. So, what was he getting when Mila was pregnant? Well, during her first pregnancy, she confessed that she was all about vinegary foods — she spilled on Live with Kelly that "I craved sauerkraut...I couldn't get enough vinegar." Apparently, she just had jars and jars of the dish available for whenever she needed it. As far as cravings go, that's a pretty low-calorie one — no wonder she managed to bounce back to her pre-baby body so quickly! She and Ashton haven't spoken about whether or not they're going to continue expanding the family to baby number three, but if so, she'll have to stock up on that sauerkraut!
11 Supermodel Behati Prinsloo Wants Fries Dipped In Milkshakes And Apples With Tajin
We have to admit — we kind of couldn't imagine what a model would eat during pregnancy. Most models keep such a close eye on their diet because they have to stay a certain size to fit into the sample sizes on the runway and for shoots. And, many of them return to work soon after giving birth, so they want to be able to snap back into shape quickly. However, Behati Prinsloo definitely indulged in a few of her cravings during her pregnancy, and one of them is something we would never have expected — fries dipped into a milkshake. That tried and true sweet and salty combinations apparently were all she could think about while those hormones surged. Her second craving? Apples sprinkled with Tajin seasoning, which is a blend of chile peppers, lime, and salt. Again, sweet and salty.
10 Ellie Kemper Was Embarrassingly Addicted To Ice Cream
Okay, Ellie Kemper's pregnancy craving story is kind of hilarious. She was doing the late night circuit during her pregnancy promoting her show The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and she spilled to several of the hosts that she was all about ice cream. However, the way she scores her fix is kind of hilarious. She mentioned that "it's gotten to the point where I... feel like an alcoholic but it's for Ben & Jerry's. I'm ashamed. I go to [the bodega] every night... the [bodega owner and I] make eye contact and I, like, sort of look away." Hey, there's no shame in pregnancy cravings — get that ice cream with pride, Ellie! If you're literally growing a human being, you definitely deserve pint after pint of whatever flavor you want every night.
9 Molly Sims Was All About Hot Chocolate
When model and actress Molly Sims was pregnant, her sweet tooth craved one steaming beverage in particular — hot chocolate. She admits that she would sometimes even double up and include two packs of hot chocolate with two packs of marshmallows in order to satisfy her chocolate craving. You would think that someone like Molly would want artisanal hand-crafted hot chocolate from a restaurant or cafe or something like that, but it just goes to prove that many celebrities have pregnancy cravings that are just like the rest of us. Apparently, Molly also ended up eating a slice of confetti cake in her car once when the sweet craving hit her — those pregnancy hormones will definitely do some crazy things to your body, and somethings you need what you're craving ASAP!
8 Foodie Blake Lively Wanted Organic Hand-Churned Pumpkin Ice Cream And Small Batch Pickles
While she may not have a cookbook out yet or anything along those lines, it's no secret that Blake Lively is a bit of a foodie and really loves to cook. So, when it came to her pregnancy cravings, it's kind of understandable that she'd want something other than packaged treats — and her cravings are kind of amazing. Apparently, Blake was all about pickles and ice cream, but not just any pickles and ice cream would do. She was sending out hubby Ryan to get artisanal small-batch pickles and organic hand-churned pumpkin ice cream. Hey, your body wants what it wants — if that's the type of thing she was eating before her pregnancy, it would make sense that she'd return to wanting them while the hormones were surging.
7 Hayden Panettiere Was Slurping Chicken Noodle Soup
For many celebrities, their pregnancy cravings are based in nostalgia — something that they used to eat when they were younger before they had to worry about fitting into a certain size for roles — and that was definitely the case for Hayden Panettiere. When the star was pregnant with her daughter, she was reaching time and time again for chicken noodle soup. It makes total sense — it's a super comforting dish, and it's got a good blend of nutrients to nourish that little baby. Apparently, she way overindulged in the dish when she was pregnant though, so we have a feeling she may be off the chicken noodle soup train for a few years — that is unless she finds herself constantly making it for her daughter to enjoy.
6 Amal Clooney's Luxe Cravings Included Risotto With White Truffles
There's no denying that the world is obsessed with Amal Clooney —from her pregnancy style to her regular style, from her job as an incredibly successful human rights lawyer to her new role as a mother, she's an amazing woman. So, when it comes to pregnancy cravings, we kind of assumed she wouldn't just be down for the typical ice cream and pickle sandwiches — and she definitely disappoints. A source told Closer Weekly that, during her pregnancy, Amal was apparently frequently stopping by a particular restaurant in Paris to indulge in pasta and risotto with white truffles, with hubby George right beside her. First of all, we can't even handle how cute that is, and second of all, of course, Amal's pregnancy dining habits would be impossibly luxe. Can we please just have her life?
5 Ginnifer Goodwin Had Spicy Cravings — Banana Peppers And Jalapenos
When it comes to pregnancy cravings, many stars are on the sweet end of the spectrum — they want ice cream and cookies and all kinds of pastries. However, Ginnifer Goodwin had an entirely different experience — when she was pregnant, both times, she was all about super spicy foods. During her first pregnancy, she wanted banana peppers on everything, and during her second, she was all about jalapenos. We're not sure if Goodwin is normally a big spicy food lover or if this was a pregnancy-specific love of heat, but what an interesting craving! Perhaps she was getting hubby Josh Dallas to put together super spicy pepper sandwiches the way that other pregnant women are munching on peanut butter and pickle. Still, it's a fairly healthy craving — you're not going to pack on the pounds by eating peppers!
4 Carrie Underwood Traded In Her Vegan Diet For Pop-Tarts
Normally, Carrie Underwood has a very healthy diet — she's all about plant-based foods and fuelling her body so she can perform to the best of her abilities. After all, it's not easy to rock that stage night after night — you have to be in pretty good shape to do so! However, she did give herself a bit of a break from her healthy eating habits during her pregnancy. Apparently, the country superstar even added a few Pop-Tarts into her diet. She spilled on The Rachel Ray Show, saying that "I ate Pop-Tarts. I haven't done that since college... sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and I'll be like 'Man I'm hungry' and then I'll get up and have a midnight snack, which I've never done before."
3 Zoe Saldana Wanted Pastries And Preserved Meats... Together
Zoe Saldana wasn't just pregnant — she was pregnant with twins, which is a whole different ballgame. I mean, you could definitely assume she was getting double the cravings, given that she was growing two separate humans. And apparently, those twins were craving some pretty strange pairings. She spilled on Untold with Maria Menounos that she was eating baked goods and preserved meats — together. That's right. Donuts and salami, danishes and ham, truly bizarre combinations. Hey, the stomach wants what it wants during those crazy months of pregnancy. She was glowing throughout and ended up going back to her pre-baby body very quickly after giving birth, so she definitely indulged without overindulging too much, which isn't always easy. And now she has two beautiful twin boys to run around after.
2 Pink Was All About Sour Candies
Given that Pink is known for her edgy style and her hubby is a motocross champ, you would assume that the baby they produced would be pretty hardcore as well. And, it seems that Pink's pregnancy cravings kind of confirm that. When she was pregnant, she wasn't craving sweets and things like that — she was all about sour foods and filled up on things like Sour Patch Kids, Sour Skittles, and all those tart candies that cause you to majorly pucker up. It just shows that her adorable daughter had that inner rebellious streak just like her mom, even when she was still in the womb. Pink seems like a super sweet mother who would do anything for her daughter, but we still kind of love her edgy cravings.
1 Claudia Schiffer's German Roots Had Her Craving Beer — So She Went Non-Alcoholic
When supermodel Claudia Schiffer was pregnant, apparently the baby got in touch with its German roots and had her craving beer. Now, moms tend to generally indulge in whatever they're craving during pregnancy, but alcohol is one of the few no-nos that you can't indulge in. So, what did Schiffer do to satisfy her cravings? She got the taste of beer without the alcohol content by sipping non-alcoholic beer. It seems like a bit of an odd craving, given that it's not even food, but hey — if other moms can go crazy over milkshakes and hot chocolate, why not go for a non-alcoholic beer? Although we have to admit, if you're a big craft beer drinker, you'll probably be somewhat disappointed by the non-alcoholic options available out there — it's probably more your generic brews.
