Channing Tatum
Ohh, this is going to be one handsome gallery! Check out some of Hollywood's newest dads and dads-to-be! Warning: I'll be taking a little artistic liberty with the use of (truly necessary) words like "hot" and "hunk."
Starting with...the year's hottest hunk (oh, bygones!), Channing Tatum.
Yes, the 32-year-old Magic Mike star - aka People's Sexiest Man Alive, 2012 - and his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, are expecting their first child.
No word yet on the due date. But we did spot Channing tenderly placing his hand on Jenna's sizable bump in beautiful St. Barts last month.

Prince William
We know Prince William, 30, and Duchess Catherine aren't "Hollywood," but the royal pregnancy is the most talked-about pregnancy of the moment! It's the It Pregnancy. So I had to include Prince William in our dad roundup.
Of course, this pregnancy is especially exciting because, for the first time in history, if the prince's baby is a girl, she will be next in line to the throne (after him, obviously), even if she has a brother one day. Woohoo!

Grammy award-winning rapper Kanye West, 35, and his reality TV-star girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, 32, are expecting their first child.

Kanye went on, according to the Associated Press, to call the pregnancy the "most amazing thing."
