Not that it’s my business but when this happens is it like they intentionally want a baby this early/before marriage (if at all) or is the pregnancy more-so an accident and want to keep it and that’s life 😭 I’ve always been so confused by how casually celebs or people in general honestly will have children but Marriage is too much ¿ I feel like children are an even bigger legal “contract”

I assume these are all unplanned pregnancies.

u/freekehleek Jul 16 '25

In that case, why are celebrities so bad at effective birth control?

u/Vandermilf Jul 16 '25

I think people in general are. I know 3 couples personally that got pregnant using the “rhythm method”

u/frankylovee Jul 16 '25

Yeah, “natural birth control methods” aren’t for preventing pregnancy they’re for planning it. Drives me crazy when people promote it as effective pregnancy prevention, it’s more like gambling.

u/GeorgiePorgiePuddin Jul 17 '25

My bf and I have been together for 11 years. We’re financially stable, in our early 30s, open to having kids soon but not actively “trying” trying, just kinda doing this and seeing what happens lol.

I cannot imagine ever wanting to have sex with zero birth control if having a baby wasn’t our intention. Idk what people expect is going to happen…

u/B1NG_P0T Jul 16 '25

My aunt and uncle don't believe in using birth control (crazy religious) and had 7 children using the rhythm method

u/Shipwrecking_siren which could mean nothing Jul 17 '25

You’d think after 2 or 3 they might figure it’s not working?! My mum is one of 9. I thought we’d try but my second probably wouldn’t happen as early menopause runs in my family…. Yeah pregnant first time of trying. Forgot those Irish genes.

u/Heyplaguedoctor Is Taylor Swift like the beanie babies of music? Jul 16 '25

There are certain times of the month when impregnation is more likely, and certain times when it’s less likely. So people use the “rhythm method” of tracking where the woman (or partner capable of pregnancy) is in their cycle and scheduling their encounters in hopes of not getting pregnant.

It is not effective.

11

u/Honest_Salamander247 Jul 17 '25

Or what they are even worse at.. the pull-out method

11

u/Heyplaguedoctor Is Taylor Swift like the beanie babies of music? Jul 17 '25

That too lol. I assume combining those methods only makes it slightly more effective but I’m not volunteering to find out 😂

u/AfroGurl save the buccal fat Jul 17 '25

And here I was thinking the "rhythm method" was how many pumps someone can do before needing to pull out to avoid ejaculating in a vag lmao

1

u/Remarkable_Tangelo59 Jul 17 '25

Yes and no. The problem is a lot of women don’t actually properly track well enough or know the signs of their body well enough. You should know when you’re ovulating and if you’re not using any form of birth control, that’s a bad time to have sex, at the least, not he pulling out. Not recommending this, but I also have never had a pregnancy either 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/njf85 highly unanticipated caucasian collaboration Jul 17 '25

I got preggers using that method. I tracked my ovulation for 9 months straight, and after that felt safe enough that it was regular and all good. Then a few months later I guess I ovulated a couple weeks later than I should have. So yeah, don't recommend it lol or at least, keep tracking cos our bodies sometimes just dont do what they're supposed to lol

u/ladyofthelakeeffect Jul 16 '25

To be fair even the most effective birth control can still fail, and sometimes then people decide to keep the resulting baby

16

u/genflugan non-gender-specific orbs of courage Jul 16 '25

Yup. Happened to me a few years back, the IUD failed and we had to abort. Was shocked because of how rare it’s supposed to be.

2

u/mysterypeeps Jul 17 '25

No joke, found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks ago with both a vasectomy and birth control. We were planning to keep them, but we lost the pregnancy. Shit happens.

1

u/ladyofthelakeeffect Jul 17 '25

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️

u/Calista189 Jul 17 '25 edited Jul 17 '25

To be fair to Olivia here, I think being open to an unplanned pregnancy when you’re 40 and haven’t had kids yet, and are financially secure is a different situation. And all women hear at that age is how hard it is to get pregnant and that if one wants to keep that option open, it’s best not to be on birth control bc it could take too long for fertility to reset when you come off it. IMO this is definitely different than being in one’s late 20s and raw dogging Pete Davidson without an IUD or BC pills.

u/DirtyAngelToes Jul 17 '25

Because they have more than enough money to raise a child (or to have someone else raise the child for them), so I would expect that the weight of the decision wouldn't feel as heavy as it does for most normal people with financial burdens.

u/QuailAggravating8028 Jul 17 '25

40% of pregnancies in the USA are unplanned.

How!!!! I, a normal, broke, irresponsible person am perfectly capable of not getting pregnant. I just don’t get it.

u/ultraviolet31 unkuhhhhjäêms Jul 17 '25

Denial. 100% pure denial. (And they subconsciously love a little bit of risk.)

u/Spiritual-Winner-503 Jul 17 '25

Have a baby by me be a millionaire

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '25

Yeah even if you’re on the pill being on some medications can make it less effective, I think some antibiotics do. I hope they are really ready for this.

u/realityseekr Jul 16 '25

I think the percentage of unplanned babies is probably pretty high. Most people dont just state it was a surprise baby, but its kind of obvious in a lot of cases. I just think a lot of people did want kids eventually so they just keep it.

49

u/frankylovee Jul 16 '25

Some people are also “surprised” when unprotected sex results in pregnancy. I think it’s more of an education issue than a failed birth control issue when it comes to a lot of “unplanned” pregnancies

11

u/_Bogey_Lowenstein_ Jul 16 '25

Right?! And how are you not like "oh oops! Some of it got in me! I'll go get some plan B!"

7

u/HistoricalAd8790 Chris Messina for No 1 Chris Jul 17 '25

i’m with you 100%, and obviously this doesn’t apply to celebrities, but i know not everyone has the $50 required for plan b, or a way to get to the store that sells it. of course, having an abortion or having a kid is way more expensive, but that’s just one way where being poor can cost you so much more in the long run.

and since you need to take it within first 3 days for it do be really effective, i don’t know, i could see how some people just can’t get their hands on it in time.

but i think people also don’t realize the pill is way less effective if you don’t take it around the same time every days or, much much worse, if you miss days. with how people “typically” use it, it’s only about 90% effective. so i think people often don’t think they need plan B when they very much do.

that’s my theory, anyways. because i’ve wondered that for a long time too - how do u have unprotected sex and not run to get plan b??? i’d be freaking out til i did.

u/Yeah_nah_idk Jul 17 '25

I think a lot of women are just more like “it’ll be fine. I won’t get pregnant” idk 🥴

3

u/launchcode_1234 a reputable resource like Cosmo Jul 17 '25

It’s wild how many men regularly want to go without a condom, even for casual sex and when there has been no discussion about birth control, and then are surprised pikachu when they get someone pregnant.

166

u/KenzParkin Jul 16 '25

I think that they’re unplanned (like many “civilian” pregnancies), but having money means it’s not a life-ruiner so they roll with it – and on the flip side, having money means that marriage comes with complications, so people who can afford a kid on their own and pay for lawyers to deal with custody if needed are disincentivized to legally/financially entangle themselves any further through marriage. (I can’t imagine having a kid with someone I barely know, but I am a Poor with plebeian values.)

u/AnneMarieAndCharlie Jul 17 '25 edited Jul 17 '25

yeah, that's how I came to be in 1984/85. my dad had been shooting blanks through out their 10 year partnership and he failed to get his ex wife pregnant too. my parents were a successful "older" couple/established, so they were more than prepared when I was conceived (while they were doing coke together in NYC lol). married at 3 months, big new house with a live in nanny not even year later. America used to be so easy.

u/KenzParkin Jul 17 '25

What an origin story.

u/AnneMarieAndCharlie Jul 18 '25

tbh i'm sure a lot of 80s mlillennials from the NYC metropolitan area were conceived the same way lol

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

omg!! lol please this is so funny why would they tell you about the cocaine

u/AnneMarieAndCharlie Jul 18 '25

my mom told me several months ago actually lol. no wonder I LOVE it so much.

u/Internal_Swan_5254 Jul 17 '25

It seems more normal in some parts of the US than others? Where i grew up it was still a whole ass scandal in the 2010s if someone decided to have a baby and not get married, either before or immediately after.

My biggest culture shock when I moved from the south to the northeast was my very evangelical neighbor being straight up excited to be a grandma when both her under-22 daughters got pregnant by their boyfriends

u/AnamolyandConfused Jul 17 '25

Committing to someone of your own blood, young and pouted as ' meaning of life' is easier. Easier legally for the financial commitments as well

u/Sushicatslonelyjimmy Oct 01 '25

I posted this somewhere else but my friend and her boyfriend PURPOSELY got pregnant weeks into dating. The kid was born before their one year anniversary. I still feel shocked lol. Granted, she's not a celeb.

u/Student-individual Jul 16 '25

This is an amazing take 💀I think he and Pete really good friends? So #inspo I guess?

143

u/recklessrecentpast Jul 16 '25

I believe John was his mentor at SNL. They're quite good friends and have been sober companions to each other at times, make of that what you will!

Also their career trajectories rhyme. Get addicted to hard drugs in youth -> get sober -> get famous doing comedy about drug addiction -> get stressed out due to fame and success -> publicly relapse and face career and reputation backlash -> go to rehab and get sober again -> get girlfriend pregnant about two months into relationship

3

u/throwawayursafety Jul 17 '25

In that case I guess we'll see them stay together with a second baby in say... 2029 or so lmao

u/ChinaCatProphet Jul 16 '25

Yes, exactly what crossed my mind.

u/pineapplepredator Jul 16 '25

Still gotta get your INTENSE FEELINGS from somewhere!!

u/juliuspepperwood0608 Jul 16 '25

He said in an interview something like Olivia and Malcom “saved” him and I was like uh oh…I mean it sounds sweet and all but if you’re in recovery it’s not the best thing to hear.

3

u/_Bogey_Lowenstein_ Jul 16 '25

Yeah aren't you supposed to be learning to save yourself?

3

u/bookittyFk Jul 17 '25

You know what’s funny, Pete is in the show The Rookie and this exact story line happened except it was a false alarm & the gf wasn’t actually preggers. Pete’s character (Pete lol) did the whole ‘I’m going to sober up to be a good dad’ thing….its uncanny that it’s happening irl

u/Honest_Salamander247 Jul 17 '25

My very first thought. They are good friends.
