Black women are constantly breaking the Internet, especially with exciting baby announcements.
There is no amount of joy that can be contained when Black celebrities share they have baby on the way. It’s the detail behind announcing the news that adds to fan’s excitement. Throughout the year, Black women have become a trending topic for how they choose to display their special moments.
Everyone remembers that moment in 2011 when Beyoncé shocked the world with her first pregnancy. In true queen fashion, the megastar used one of the biggest platforms to supersede traditional, modern social media announcements. After delivering an outstanding performance during the MTV Video Music Awards, the singer revealed that she was expecting. She dropped the mic, unbuttoned her sparkly blazer and showed her growing baby bump.
Years later, Cardi B pulled a page out of Queen Bey’s book and confirmed the pregnancy rumors during a performance. The rapper took to the “Saturday Night Live” stage in an all-white dress putting an end to months of online speculation. The spotlight shone on her pregnant belly, as she performed her smash single “Be Careful.”
It is a privilege for fans to be informed about these monumental moments from their favorite artists. While sharing pregnancy announcements continues to be a trend, some people, like Halle Bailey, choose to keep that news private.
These new chapters are worthy of celebration. Check out these celebrity women who are expecting or already welcomed bundles of joy later this year.
