These Celebrities' Wild Birth Stories Are Dramatic, Hilarious, and Utterly Eccentric

Birth is a lot of things: messy, beautiful, intense, strenuous, eye-opening, and wholly unpredictable even with the best-laid plans. Sometimes you think you’re going to welcome your child at a hospital and the universe ends up allowing the major event to unfold at home in your bathroom, or in the car while your partner is doing their best to get you to the hospital in time. These unconventional births happen more often than you’d think, and these celebrity parents know all about welcoming children in wacky ways.

Sterling K. Brown and Seth Meyers are first-hand experts in wild birth scenarios, and they’ve lived to tell the jaw-dropping, rather hilarious tales. In fact, Meyers named an entire segment on his late-night show “Lobby Baby” after the untimely birth of his second child — any guesses as to how that story unfolded?

The This Is Us star and Saturday Night Live alum aren’t the only celebrity parents to have experienced unconventional births where their children are concerned. From Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall to Kourtney Kardashian, many famous figures have shared stories of their kids’ quirky and unexpected arrivals. Olympic skier Bode Miller even successfully delivered his twin sons at home in 2019, an occurrence his wife Morgan deemed “pure magic.”
