Rihanna confirms she's pregnant with second child after Super Bowl 57 halftime show
Rihanna rocked the halftime of Super Bowl 57, pulling from her immense catalog of hits. But as she worked through her halftime set, fans speculated that she appeared to be pregnant.
Reps for Rihanna confirmed to Rolling Stone after the halftime performance that the star is, in fact, pregnant. It will be Rihanna’s second child, after she gave birth in May of 2022 to a boy.
The father of her first child — and presumably the second — is Rihanna’s partner, rapper A$AP Rocky.
It was a memorable halftime show to start, but even more iconic given that it’s probably the highest-profile pregnancy announcement… ever?
WATCH: Controversial defensive holding dooms Eagles in Super Bowl 57 vs. Chiefs
A potential classic, back-and-forth Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles was marred by a late holding call. With the Chiefs down in the red zone and trying to bleed the clock for a late score, the officials called a questionable defensive hold on the Eagles.
The penalty gave the Chiefs an automatic first down and, with no timeouts left, the Eagles were unable to stop the clock inside the two minute warning. With the two teams tied at 35, all the Chiefs needed to do was bleed out the remaining time and let Harrison Butker kick a go-ahead field goal with seconds left.
His kick was true, and after an Hail Mary attempt from the Eagles fell short, the Chiefs got a controversial Super Bowl win.
On the play, Eagles corner James Bradberry pretty clearly gets handsy with JuJu Smith-Schuster at the route stem. But the penalty effectively handed the game to the Chiefs. Had the pass just been incomplete, the Eagles could’ve forced a field goal attempt and given the offense a chance to drive for a tie or win with nearly a minute remaining.
Instead, it’s the defensive hold that will live in infamy for Eagles fans — and the obvious call for Chiefs faithful.
