Why do different pregnant women have different cravings? While there isn’t an exact science to it, experts believe that a mix of hormone shifts plus nutrient deficiencies play a part in expecting mothers craving for something specific. When it comes to food cravings, pregnant celebrities are just like the rest of us.
From spicy food to endless sweet treats, wellness experts at Mega Pleasure have looked into the recent pregnancy cravings that your favourite celebs have revealed over recent years. Some of them aren’t even shy about only feeling satisfied once they’ve eaten exactly what they’ve been craving (however random that may be).
Rihanna
Being in the limelight at the moment as her fans closely follow her pregnancy updates, Rihanna is expecting her first child with A$AP Rocky. The star has announced that she has been having cravings for sweet treats, with cookies and donuts being top of the list. Although this may not seem like an unusual pregnancy craving, Rihanna is said to not have much of a sweet tooth and is not normally one to reach for the sugary snacks until now, with her boyfriend having been seen buying the treats to fulfil her cravings.
Ashley Tisdale
Having given birth to her first child last March, Ashley Tisdale welcomed Jupiter Iris to the world alongside her husband, Christopher French. Throughout her pregnancy, Ashley spoke about how she had continuous cravings for a refreshing glass of orange juice, being hungry for the fruity kick to fulfil her needs. Although she said she has always enjoyed an orange juice, she mentioned how the amount she got through during her pregnancy absolutely skyrocketed!
Kylie Jenner
Having very recently given birth to a baby boy, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have a new addition to the family alongside their four year old daughter, Stormi Webster. During her first pregnancy, Kylie revealed how she craved sugar waffles and the sweet tooth continued into her second birth as she enjoyed tucking into ice cream with sweets. Posting the updates on her Instagram story, eagle eyed fans suspected a second girl as the sugar cravings continued so it may have been a surprise to see the announcement of a baby boy!
Katy Perry
Welcoming her first child into the world in 2020, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom sent fans into a frenzy when they revealed Daisy Dove Bloom. Throughout her pregnancy, Katy couldn’t get enough of spicy food and Indian food became a firm favourite. Saying how she’s never enjoyed spicy food as much as she did during her pregnancy, apparently the spicier the better to satisfy her intense cravings.

After meeting on reality TV show, Love Island, in 2016, Olivia and Alex Bowen tied the knot in 2018. Earlier this year, the pair saw fans go crazy as they announced that they are expecting their first child together, sharing their journey on their Instagram accounts. Olivia joked with her followers as she revealed the very specific shopping list she gave to Alex to fulfil her pregnancy cravings, knowing exactly what she wanted and accepting nothing else! With snacks consisting of chicken Fridge Raiders, fizzy Haribo cola bottles and sweet chilli crisps with hummus, there was no shortage of snacks in their home.
Britney Spears
Having recently been released from a 14 year conservatorship that prevented her from marrying and having more children, Britney has just announced her pregnancy with Asghari who she met in 2016. She has previously mentioned staying clear of media attention during her past pregnancies but has definitely been no stranger to unusual pregnancy cravings, with her favourite snacks being melted Hershey’s chocolate and crushed ice. Britney also commented on her sex life during her past pregancies, with her sex drive going through the roof!
