The Bajan pop star headlined the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, but instead of bringing a surprise guest or performing a song with an iconic rapper Rihanna announced her pregnancy. She’s now the first woman to do so.
These shocking baby reveals are becoming a new thing for celebrity working women. Remember Keke Palmer‘s reveal on SNL? What better way to showcase your pregnancy than on the job? The fans especially eat it up and dish it out on Twitter.
Rihanna’s stunning baby reveal was a huge moment for her fans. Several of them took to our favorite gossip app to ask if Riri was expecting, and they weren’t wrong.

Rihanna Super Bowl Outfit
She was wearing an all-red outfit from head to toe, a bodysuit inside a jumpsuit zipped down that revealed a baby bump. While it might seem simple to tease her fans, it’s a big deal for the pop princess.
Despite the bump, Rihanna delivered a stellar performance at the Super Bowl. Her performance wasn’t a full-blown halftime show, and it was a bit more subtle than other superstars such as Eminem or Jay-Z. However, she still delivered a powerful, empowering, and incredibly entertaining set.
Her 13-minute performance didn’t make the biggest news in some corners of the internet, but it was a confident and exciting performance from a star at the top of her game. Her set soared high above the State Farm field in Glendale, Arizona, and featured a quick-cut medley of her hits.
