2010 babies brought joy to many celebrity couples

John Travolta (56) and Kelly Preston (48), married 19 years, are parents again. Baby Benjamin was born on Tuesday, 23 November weighing 8 pounds 3 ounces. John, Kelly and 10 year old daughter Ella are said to be very happy about the safe arrival of this special baby. In January 2009, their son and brother Jett died during a Bahamas holiday after suffering a seizure. Nothing will bring Jett back, but a new baby in the family will bring a lot of joy.

Celine Dion recently gave birth to fraternal twin boys, brothers for 10 year old Rene after many years of difficulty with pregnancies.

Australian actress Isla Fisher and husband Sacha Baron Cohen kept very quiet about their second child - still a mystery playmate for their 2 year old daughter Olive. These are just a few of the happy events of 2010. Isla will be remembered for her performances in Wedding Crashers and Confessions of a Shopaholic . She and Sacha rarely comment about their personal lives and did not even announce the pregnancy or birth.

Not announced until just a few days ago, Aussie actress Nicole Kidman and country singer husband Keith Urban added a second daughter to their family. Sunday Rose now has a new sister, Faith Margaret, born in Nashville via a surrogacy arrangement on 28 December 2010.

Mariah Carey has overcome sadness and has gone public about her expected baby

"Yes, we are pregnant, this is true!" said Carey, 41, alongside her husband, the rapper and actor Nick Cannon, 30.

Carey revealed that she had a miscarriage two years ago, which explained her reluctance to go public with her latest pregnancy. Her husband has reportedly said the disappointment has brought them closer together. The couple does not know the sex of the baby and would not reveal Carey's due date.

Mariah and Nick married in the Bahamas in April 2008. It was the second marriage for Carey, whose five year union with producer Tony Mottola ended in divorce in 1998. Carey has sold 175 million records since the start of her singing career in 1990.

Victoria and David Beckham - will number 4 be a girl?

The Beckhams, David and Victoria, already have three fine sons - Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn. What's the bet that Posh and Becks will be hanging out for a daughter? In fact, rumor has it that Victoria consumed foods supposedly helpful in conceiving a female child. The former Spice Girl also had her breast implants removed recently - "No torpedo bazookas," she told an interviewer from the British edition of Vogue magazine. "Gone."

Christina Applegate and Martyn Lenoble

In 2008, breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate had a double mastectomy in an effort to prevent her breast cancer from returning and said that she will get breast reconstruction.

Fast-forward to 2010 and the Samantha Who? star is now expecting a baby with fiancé Martyn Lenoble in early 2011.

And the list goes on ...

Kate Hudson and boyfriend Matt Bellamy, French actress Marion Cotillard and directory partner Guillaume Canet, Natalie Portman and fiancé Benjamin Millepied and Alicia Silverstone and Christopher Jarecki are just a few more couples who will welcome a baby this year.
