Over the years, TV stars including Rachel Bilson, Kerry Washington and more had to strategically hide their baby bumps on television while they were pregnant.
In May 2014, Us Weekly broke the news that Bilson was expecting her first child with Hayden Christensen. While filming the fourth and final season of The CW’s Hart of Dixie, the actress originally hid her baby bump before the series altered the story so her character Zoe Hart could get pregnant with Wade Kinsella (Wilson Bethel).
King, who played Lemon Breeland in Hart of Dixie, reflected on her own attempts to hide her baby bump on set.
“I shot until the day before I gave birth, literally, then went back six weeks later — it was gnarly!” she shared at the time. “But the blessing was by doing what I love to do it kept me distracted and it kept me active and healthy. We’re not doing that with Rachel, I think we’re going to have more time before. I feel like it’s a really celebratory time. I’m really thrilled and happy that she’s going to be on this next journey of her life.”
