Celebrity Rihanna Rihanna Just Made A Surprising Revelation About Her Iconic Pregnancy Announcement At The 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, And It’s Left People Super Confused It turns out that Rihanna hadn't actually planned on sharing her pregnancy news with the world at all during the Super Bowl show. By by Leyla Mohammed BuzzFeed Staff Posted 2 minutes ago Twitter Facebook Link Earlier this year in February, Rihanna made her iconic return to the stage by performing at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show .

And so, fans were left surprised when she revealed that she was pregnant for a second time at the show.

Gotham / GC Images Speaking with Access Hollywood this week, the Fenty mogul revealed that she hadn’t actually planned on sharing her pregnancy with the world at the Super Bowl, and was only forced to do so after finding out that her clothes didn’t quite fit her. Gilbert Flores / WWD via Getty Images “My jumper couldn’t zip up!” she shared. “No one knew I was pregnant. I just told myself, ‘Just make sure it’s stretchy.’ So the undergarment was stretchy, and was baggy, but you know, the zip! It just stopped right there! So it had to be what it had to be.” Kevin Mazur / Getty Images for Roc Nation Well, Rihanna’s latest comments have since left fans a little confused, given that prior to her Super Bowl performance, she’d seemingly hinted at the pregnancy reveal. Frederic J. Brown / AFP via Getty Images When asked if she’d be bringing any special guests to join her on stage during a Super Bowl press interview , Rihanna said, “I’m thinking about bringing someone.” Frazer Harrison / The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images After seeing that Rihanna didn’t bring any artists out on stage to perform with her, many fans interpreted her remark about “bringing someone” as a reference to her baby. Arturo Holmes / Getty Images With this in mind now, one Instagram user wrote, “I love her DOWNN, but I do recall her saying she had a Surprise Guest for the show.. and last time i checked, she was the only one that performed.” Another person added, “So who was the special guest then?” Gilbert Flores / WWD via Getty Images Elsewhere, fans questioned why Rihanna didn’t wear a different outfit if she hadn’t planned on sharing her pregnancy news with the world at the time. Kevin Mazur / Getty Images for Roc Nation “Acting like she can't afford a bigger jumper,” one person quipped. “There wasn’t a fitting?” someone else questioned. However, some people went on to point out that the fittings for the Super Bowl performance had likely been taken far in advance, and Rihanna’s body could’ve changed a lot over that time. Kevin Mazur / Getty Images for Roc Nation “She might have grown between fittings,” one person wrote. “She’s just saying she couldn’t zip her fit up because they plan their attire months in advance. But her body was showing too much so she had to pretty much reveal her pregnancy at that point,” another person added.
