Shakira found herself in an awkward situation after unintentionally revealing Rihanna’s pregnancy during a pre-Met Gala interview. The Colombian pop icon, 48, made the slip while chatting with NBC ahead of fashion’s biggest night.
When asked which celebrity she was most excited to see on the red carpet, Shakira enthusiastically responded, “I want to see Rihanna! I want to see her so bad. And I just heard the news too—she’s pregnant!”
Realizing her mistake instantly, Shakira covered her mouth and gasped, asking, “Am I not supposed to say that?” Her reaction quickly went viral, drawing both amusement and sympathy from fans online.
Although the revelation was unintentional, Rihanna later confirmed the news in a stunning fashion. The 37-year-old singer debuted her baby bump at the Met Gala in a breathtaking floral gown, officially announcing that she and A$AP Rocky are expecting their third child. The couple are already proud parents to sons RZA and Riot.
Shakira’s accidental announcement may have caused a stir, but Rihanna’s radiant reveal made the moment unforgettable.
