All the Times Tabloids Got Pregnancy News Wrong

Mysterious "sources" have said Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are pregnant, but the media has already claimed Mila Kunis was pregnant ten times before, and none of those turned out to be true. Nobody is more baby crazy than the tabloids, and they'll turn just about any hint of anything into a full blown cover story on a celebrity pregnancy. Did a celebrity wear a sweatshirt whose pocket made her seem a quarter of an inch thicker? Pregnant! Was a star spotted eating something the slightest bit unhealthy? Pregnancy cravings! Is a star actually pregnant? Tabloids say she's having twins! (One kid is never enough for the media, duh.)

But Kunis is not the only celeb subjected to these baby rumors. These 6 other stars all supposedly have multiple children if we're to believe the magazines who seem to follow the "better to report it wrong than to report it last" rule of thumb.

1. JENNIFER ANISTON

Aniston is one of the celebs most frequently subjected to pregnancy rumors. She's been on the cover of tabloids over 20 times with various headlines screaming things like, "Finally, a Baby!" Just last September, Us Weekly continued the rumor with front page headline reading, "Jen's Big Secret: Pregnant!" Her publicist slammed the article saying, "Jennifer is NOT pregnant and their story is just another fabrication."

Even Aniston's own denial of wanting any children hasn't kept tabloids from insisting that she is. "I mean, I think it's very sweet that people want everything for me," Aniston said of the baby rumors. "[But] my friends and my partner are truly my family. I surround myself with my amazing work, my amazing friends, my amazing partner, my beautiful dogs… and I tune that noise out."

2. KATE MIDDLETON

The Duchess of Cambridge has had some rocky tabloid coverage when it comes to babies. First there were the headlines that she couldn't get pregnant at all and then there were the headlines claiming she was having twins! She did eventually have a child contrary to rumors that she was infertile, and she only had one. Sorry Star, Life & Style, OK!, and many more magazines that wanted those two bundles of joy (and claimed they were real).

3. ANGELINA JOLIE

Six kids isn't enough for this mommy, she has a 7th on the way! Or at least the media has claimed so. "Angelina has been staying out of the public eye because she doesn't want to let anyone know that she's expecting," one of those all-knowing sources told Star in January. Considering we just saw Jolie in the public eye for the Oscars looking not-pregnant-at-all we'll go ahead and call this rumor fake.

4. KHLOE KARDASHIAN

This Kardashian sister has no kids, but you wouldn't know it from all the times she's showed up labeled as such on the covers of the magazines. In fact, Kim Kardashian revealed that her sister actually refrained from having children when she was with Lamar Odom due to his unstable drug-using state.

5. KATIE HOLMES

When Holmes was still with Tom Cruise every mag was desperate to say the couple was trying to give Suri a sibling. None of these supposed babies ever materialized though.

6. KRISTEN STEWART

Poor Kristen can't get the paps to leave her alone. Her cheating scandal was splashed across every tabloid in town, and now she's getting pregnancy rumors tossed around too.

Based on the track record of these magazines and their anonymous sources, it’s probably best to take the Kutcher and Kunis’ baby news with a grain of salt. This is a classic case of “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
