Celebrities who managed to keep their babies a secret
Elijah Wood recently let it slip that he's now a father of two! In his 'My Monday Morning' profile for the Wall Street Journal, the 'Yellowjackets' actor was asked what time he starts his day, and Wood shared that he gets an early start with his two little onesāmarking the first time he has stated that he and partner Mette-Marie Kongsved have two children. "We've got a 3-year-old son and a 14-month-old daughter, and she wakes us up pretty early. I like getting up early, I like starting the day," he shared. Wood also spoke on his private nature in the interview, including his private Instagram account. "I wanted to be able to share photos that I didn't necessarily want to share with the world," the 'Lord of the Rings' alum explained. "An account that's public-facing would really change what I share." He added, "It's not like I'm sharing anything that I wouldn't want to go out, but I'm a relatively private person." When it comes to the press, it's hard for celebrities to keep anything secret, let alone the imminent arrival of a child. Yet it's important to lots of celebrities that their children have privacy and that they are shown respect when it comes to their private lives and family home. Check out this gallery to see which other celebrities managed to dodge the media in the run-up to their kids' arrival, many of whom didn't have the privacy of a pandemic!

Real Celeb Names You Probably Don't Know
So THAT'S how John Legend got his name. A lot can be said with a nameāespecially in Hollywood. Choosing the right one could potentially make or break a career in showbiz. It'll either help fans easily remember you or could result in you blending in with the crowd. Opt for something too complicated and people might not be able to pronounce it, which could mean trouble come awards season. It's not as simple of a decision as you'd think! For that reason, stars put a lot of thought into the choice. One of the biggest trends is going by a middle name. Maybe it sounds better (Meghan Markle does have a nice ring to it!), or perhaps it's just more unique (there's no denying Ashton Kutcher is more memorable than Christopher Kutcher). Other celebrities choose something more sentimental, like paying tribute to a late family member or honoring a mother or grandmother's maiden name. And when all else fails, a childhood nickname does the trick (we're looking at you, Miley). From royals to Grammy-winning singers and everyone in between, your favorite star's real name might surprise you. Learn all about how celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Olivia Wilde, Katy Perry, and others ended up being called what you know them as today.

The most unexpected celebrity couples of recent times
There's been a change in the wind in Hollywood, and celebrities we thought we had figured out are now crossing aesthetics, genres, interests, and generations to surprise us with A-list combinations that sound like they were randomly plucked out of a hat. Some of these unlikely celebrity romances might be a reflection of the completely unpredictable times we're living in, where life and death situations have become fearfully closer, and thus where people are no longer wasting time with preconceived notions and anything other than what makes them feel good. These celebrities are embracing love where they find it, whether that means taking a romantic chance on an old best friend or going on a date with someone completely out of their normal sphere. It's understandable that Selena Gomez had laid low in her romantic endeavors after the media circus of dating Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, but it seems she's back in the saddle and has most recently been linked to Zayn Malik. She and the former One Direction member were spotted out and about walking āhand in handā and āmaking outā at a New York City restaurant. Malik bolstered the news as he followed Gomez on Instagram, and he only follows 18 accounts total. It's not such an unexpected match, however, as fans have found a clip back in 2013 where Gomez was asked on the red carpet which member of One Direction she'd most want to kiss, and she replied, "Oh no," then answered quickly, "Zayn." Malik was also later wrapped up in the drama between Gomez and then-boyfriend Justin Bieber as Bieber accused Gomez of cheating on him with Malik. Malik of course was most recently linked with Gigi Hadid, with whom he shares a daughter. Click through to see more of the most unexpected relationships of the past couple years.
