It was hard not to wonder if Rihanna was with child. She flaunted her stomach with her unzipped jumpsuit and even rubbed her belly at one point, seemingly alluding to her pregnancy.
In an interview with the NFL Network conducted before Sunday’s show, she hinted that a surprise guest would join her on stage, which may very well have been her unborn child.
“I’m thinking about bringing someone. I’m not sure, we’ll see,” she told Nate Burleson.
Her rep later confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she is indeed pregnant with her second child.

In May, Rihanna welcomed a baby boy with A$AP Rocky, who proudly watched from the sidelines. He wasn’t the only one cheering her on. Her performance received praise from SZA, Ty Dolla $ign, DJ Khaled, and even Chris Brown.
