Elliott had revealed she was pregnant just last month. The star shared a selfie of her and Kennedy in celebration of their four-year anniversary, as well as a pic of her growing baby bump. “Happy 4 Years my love! Here’s to many more wonderful adventures with you— the greatest one of all coming next month❤️,” she captioned the post.
Earlier this year, Elliott opened up to Kelly Clarkson on her talk show about how she and her husband were trying to have a baby via IVF treatments. The actress joked that her Valentine’s Day would be “very romantic” as Kennedy would have to give her hormone “shots in [her] butt.”
“The hormones are very intense, and so many people go through this and we don’t talk about it enough, I think, as women,” she told Clarkson. “We need to raise more understanding and awareness.”
There has been a recent baby boom in Hollywood, with Nicki Minaj, Desi Perkins, Nikki and Brie Bella among many others welcoming babies in their lives.
