3. Beyoncé - Announcement of her twin pregnancy

We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. - The Carters

Another baby post. Trust us, there is definitely something different coming soon ok? But we can't ignore Beyoncé's beautiful pregnancy announcement back in February 2017.

4. Selena Gomez - Kidney transplant

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made. For more information regarding Lupus please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org/ -by grace through faith

A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) onSep 14, 2017 at 3:07am PDT

To say this post came out of the blue would be an epic understatement. Selena Gomez dropped the bombshell that she'd actually had a kidney transplant in September 2017 with her pal Francia as the donor. Truly heart-melting!

5. Kylie Jenner - Pregnancy/birth announcement

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) onFeb 4, 2018 at 12:27pm PST

Before Kylie shared the snap of her daughter, she actually posted this note for her 103 million followers to understand exactly why she's kept her pregnancy quiet for so long. What a gem.

8. Selena Gomez - Visiting her childhood home

The home I grew up in, from birth to 13... (no one was home when I knocked this time lol) I visit this place every chance I get. In many ways it very well could have been better than my life today, but I’m grateful for a voice that can enable change today. Even when I don’t know how to do it well or actually want it. I love you Grand Prairie. Thank you.
