Hollywood has its fair share of celebrities who decided to welcome their bundles of joy into the world before a legal promise exchange. Some well-known examples include:

Scarlett Johansson, a global icon in both film and fashion, was pregnant with her daughter, Rose Dorothy Dauriac, before marrying Romain Dauriac in 2014. This was an interesting twist in their relationship, adding a new dimension to their partnership.
Mila Kunis: Wyatt Isabelle
Mila Kunis, a celebrated actress in both Hollywood and television, had her first child, Wyatt Isabelle, before marrying Ashton Kutcher in 2015. This pregnancy pushed back their wedding date, which was initially planned for February 2013.
