40. Kenya Moore

Until recently she was one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and she's been one of the world's most beautiful women for decades, but one thing Kenya Moore had never been until 2018 was a mother. At 47, it looked like it was never going to happen for her, but her marriage to Marc Daly in 2017 changed her outlook on life, and she thought she'd take the chance to start IVF treatment whilst it was still an option for her. Happily for her, she didn't have to wait too long for it to produce results.

She confirmed that she was pregnant during an appearance on a 'Real Housewives' reunion show towards the start of the year, and in November 2018 she gave birth to her son, Brooklyn Doris Daly. The name has meaning; Brooklyn is where she met her husband, and 'Doris' was the name of her grandmother, and the woman who actually raised her.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
