When it comes to choosing godparents, people often pick those closest to them to inspire and provide guidance to their child. So it's no surprise that most celebrity kids end up with very big stars influencing their upbringing. Steven Spielberg is godfather to a pair of huge stars, Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, and Nicole Richie's got two superstar godfathers of her own. Michelle Williams's daughter, Matilda Ledger, calls Jake Gyllenhaal and Busy Philipps her honorary parents, while Courteney Cox looked to Bff Jennifer Aniston to take the role of godmother to her daughter, Coco Arquette. Meanwhile, Jaime King's son Leo's godmother is none other than Taylor Swift, and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's youngest child, Lilibet, is the goddaughter of Tyler Perry.

Williams quietly confirmed her pregnancy to Variety in an interview published in May 2022. "As the years go on, you sort of wonder what they might hold for you or not hold for you. It's exciting to discover that something you want again and again is available one more time," she said. "That good fortune is not lost on me or my family."
