Your family and friends mean well, but in their excitement over your pregnancy, they may slip up and tell all of your business -- when you're due, the gender of your baby, how many babies you're having. They'll tell it all. And we were reminded of that today when Venus Williams informed Eurosport that Serena, 35, and husband-to-be, Alexis Ohanian, are expecting a girl.

Just in case the above clip gets removed, here is what was said:
Eurosport: I heard a rumor saying that Serena is pregnant. I don't know if you heard about it [laughs]. Did you think about a name for you? How is the baby going to call you? Auntie V? Or do you think about it?
Venus Williams: She's going to call me "Favorite aunt." [laughs] Of course, we're always like, every day it's like baby V! Baby Isha! Baby Lyn! We all want the baby to be named after us."
The fact that Venus let this information slip isn't a surprise though. If you remember, Serena spilled her own baby news with a Snapchat photo posted 'round the world that revealed she was 20 weeks pregnant. Plus, plenty of celebrity friends and family have let loose information about the pregnancies of some major stars. Click through for a few others. And yippee for baby girls!

I think her dad is gonna give her everything anyways, all I can give her is love," Rowland said. She continued, saying, "I think she’ll be very well behaved. Her parents will make sure of that" when asked if Bey and Jay might spoil their child.Angelina Jolie
During an interview to promote Kung Fu Panda with Angelina Jolie in 2008, Jack Black accidentally let everyone know that Jolie and then-husband Brad Pitt were expecting twins.

"Well, Jack's just confirmed it actually."Zoe Saldana

"We were on the same flight from L.A. to New York and we just talked for the duration of the flight," Saldana said. "She has two boys, I was having twins, we had such a beautiful talk and I forgot [about it]. It never even occurred to me to tell her not to say anything because we weren’t trying to hide it, we were just trying to be discreet!"Jennifer Lopez
Lopez's ex-husband Cris Judd initially spilled the tea about the star's pregnancy before she and then-husband Marc Anthony announced it. He later apologized, telling Extra, "The funny thing about it was I was asked at the Hollywood Film Festival about Jennifer’s pregnancy and I was telling everyone that I’m super happy for her. I was saying all that before she actually announced it and everyone thought that I had the inner scoop and I didn’t, but I apologize!"Erin Andrews
