"I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it."
Sharing baby news is a big deal, especially for major celebrities. Expecting stars announce their pregnancies on magazine covers, red carpets and even at award shows. But what better way for musicians to share their exciting news than right in the middle of one of their concerts? That's exactly what these celebs did as they stepped on stage and decided to make their announcement to all of their biggest fans in the audience.
Find out how these stars shared their big news…
1. Suki Waterhouse & Robert Pattinson
Suki Waterhouse was recently rumored to be expecting her first child with Robert Pattinson -- but she didn't confirm anything until she was on stage performing at the Corona Capital Music Festival in Mexico. With a visible baby bump, Suki told to the crowd that she was wearing her sparkly silver minidress in the hopes that it might "distract them from something else going on."
"I'm not sure if it's working," Suki joked while gesturing to her baby bump.
2. Rihanna & A$AP Rocky
Rihanna chose to share the news that she was expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky during her halftime performance at the Super Bowl in 2023. The moment the show started, fans began to speculate that Rihanna was sporting a baby bump -- and the rumors were later confirmed to be true by a rep for the musician.
3. Beyoncé & Jay Z
Back in 2011, Beyoncé made headlines when she debuted a baby bump in the middle of her MTV VMAs performance. Before the show, the megastar had hinted that she was going to make a special announcement -- and as she took the stage to perform "Love on Top," she even told the crowd that she wanted them to "feel the love that's growing inside of me." The crowd went wild when Bey pulled back her shimmering tuxedo jacket to reveal her bump, and Jay Z could be seen celebrating with friends in the audience.
"I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself. I was extremely nervous," she later told Harper’s Bazaar. "I didn't want a crazy picture or gossip story to break the news so I decided to say nothing and proudly show my baby bump. I felt it was more powerful to see the love and enthusiasm as opposed to saying anything."
