Shout it from the rooftops!
Rihanna is indeed pregnant again. Her reps confirmed it following a barrage of trending fan speculation after her red-hot halftime performance on the 2023 Super Bowl, where the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
During her 13-minute performance, the comeback queen performed hits like “Work” and “Diamonds” solo on stage wearing a crimson, bump-hugging ensemble — but didn’t make any form of halftime-show announcement during her first live performance in seven years.
This will probably be Rihanna’s second child. She welcomed a son in May 2022 together with her partner A$AP Rocky, and has yet to announce the name of her child publicly.
Eagle-eyed viewers had already proclaimed that the 34-year-old was sporting a baby bump and was thus expecting a sibling for her nine-month-old son.
As she began her highly-anticipated performance, the “Umbrella” hitmaker appeared to rub her burgeoning belly which kicked off the conception conversation online.
After Rihanna’s performance, Twitter was set ablaze with speculation regarding the singer’s status — was she pregnant, or not?
The Post has reached out to Rihanna’s reps for further comment.
Video producer Dave Jorgenson joked on Twitter: “What number of seconds into the halftime show did someone at your Super Bowl party politely ask if Rihanna is pregnant.”
Journalist David Mack agreed: “Okay so everyone just googled ‘rihanna pregnant’ right.”
One other Twitter sleuth even noticed that at any time when she sang the words “alive” or “life,” she touched and gestured to her stomach, even sharing a video for proof.
“Rihanna putting her hands on her stomach when she sang “I’m alive” in diamonds,” one other viewer typed on Twitter.
In an interview with Apple Music a number of days ahead of the halftime show, Rihanna revealed that motherhood has only made her stronger, and inspired her to perform on the 2023 Super Bowl.
“But while you turn into a mom,” she said on the time. “there’s just something that just happens where you’re feeling like you’ll be able to tackle the world, you’ll be able to do anything and the Super Bowl is one in every of the largest stages on this planet.”
She also teased, “There are a number of people who find themselves an element of this show — and an enormous a part of the explanation why this show goes to be as incredible because it is. I couldn’t have done it without them.”
