KARACHI: Perhaps the most common reason why celebrities are ‘celebrities’ is because they allow us to live vicariously through them. The glitz, the glamour, the apparent freedom and the luxury lifestyle is enough to attract anyone. As we grow fonder of certain figures, we also become deeply invested in their personal lives. Take Zendaya and Tom Holland for instance. The Hollywood couple has not officially revealed anything yet the internet has been full of speculations about their engagement. And when a couple does get married, we move on to being invested in their families. When are they going to have a baby? Oh my God, is that a baby bump we spot? What are they going to name their child? These are all questions that all of us have obsessed over atleast once in our lives. Like any other year, 2022 also saw a parade of celebrities tying the knot. And even more exciting is the fact that some of the most followed celebrity couples also became parents this year.
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor
The it couple of B-town, the two actors tied the knot in April this year. Not too long after that, they revealed that they will be becoming parents soon as well. While there was a lot of talk about how Alia Bhatt could be pregnant so soon and whether they rushed the wedding because of the pregnancy, the couple did not let naysayers rain on their parade.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
This is perhaps the most heartwarming story to tell. Indian actor Priyanka Chopra and American singer Nick Jonas who got married in 2018 proved that parenthood can exist in more than one ways. Some couples may not be able to conceive their old children or might want to adopt or sign up for surrogacy. Choosing the path of surrogacy, Chopra and Jonas welcomed their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas in January of this year. However, a premature child, the little one spent over a 100 days in the NICU before coming home to her parents.
