Babies, babies and more babies! Other than entertain, celebs love adding to their brood and so far 2018 has been quite a productive year (see what we did there) for A-listers.
Just a few hours ago, media mogul mom Jo-Ann Strauss became the latest to share baby news.
"She arrived... safe and sound ... So blessed. We appreciate all your kind wishes for our little family. Thank you for each and every word of encouragement and love," she shared via Instagram.
The former miss SA already has two children, a 3-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter. And since she hasn't revealed their names or identities, we're sure she'll follow a similar protocol with baby nr 3.
Jo-Ann joins a long list of local and international celebs who have welcomed new little members into their fold. And since their parents cause quite a stir whenever they do pretty much anything, their babes deserve a mention too, right?
While it’s way too early to tell whether the little ones will follow in their famous parents’ footsteps, it’s fun to see whether they’ve inherited their good looks!
