AceShowbiz - Rihanna was making a huge announcement at Super Bowl LVII. As all eyes were on her during the highly-anticipated halftime show, the Barbadian songstress revealed that she's expecting her baby No. 2.
The pregnancy speculation first arose as the Grammy Award-winning artist sported what looks like a baby bump when headlining the show after the first half of the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. She kicked off the performance suspended on a platform high above the field as she belted out her single "B***h Better Have My Money".
Wearing baggy scarlet jumpsuit that covered up her curves and was strapped loosely on her, unveiling tight-fitting garment underneath, she cradled her belly. She didn't seem to try to conceal her supposed baby bump as it was apparent below a glossy bandeau.
She moved on with "Where Have You Been", "Only Girl (In The World)" and "We Found Love". She also joined the backing dancers to showcase some energetic moves during her performance of "Rude Boy". Her set list also included other hits like "Work", "Wild Thoughts" and "Pour It Up".
Following her performance, Twitter went into frenzy with the pregnancy speculation. "ok so everyone just googled 'rihanna pregnant' right," one viewer tweeted. Another asked, "is she pregnant again?" A third fan reacted, "Me realizing Rihanna is pregnant again, and we're never getting another album."
A rep for Rihanna has since confirmed that the singer is indeed expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky. The 34-year-old welcomed her first child with the rapper, a baby boy, in May 2022 after a three-year romance.
Ahead of her performance at the big game, Rihanna gushed about motherhood. "I'm living for my son," she said when speaking to retired NFL player Nate Burleson on "The Process with Nate Burleson" podcast. "Everything matters now. You really start to take a lot into account." She added, "Everything is different, life before my son seems very obscure. It's very small and cloudy, it just got better with him."
