Shakira Accidentally Reveals Rihanna’s Pregnancy at Met Gala 2025

Shakira’s hips don’t lie, and neither do her lips.

Actually, at the Met Gala, which was more appropriately called the blue carpet this time, a 48-year-old individual unintentionally revealed Rihanna’s pregnancy news well ahead of her arrival to the event.

“I want to see her so bad,” Shakira told NBC News Los Angeles. “And I just heard the news, too.”

When an NBC reporter seemed to query about new information, the Grammy winner responded, “She’s expecting,” followed by a surprised look on her face, as she quickly covered it with her hands. “Was I not allowed to disclose that?

Fortunately, although Shakira arrived prior to Rihanna’s grand appearance at the gala, it was previously reported that Rihanna had revealed her pregnancy outside New York City’s Carlyle Hotel well before the event.

In photographs captured by Miles Diggs, it’s evident that Rihanna made no efforts to conceal her growing belly, instead flaunting it in a snug, two-piece skirt ensemble, as she confidently walked into the hotel surrounded by both photographers and admirers.

By the time the 37-year-old mother, known to be the partner of A$AP Rocky and mom to sons RZA (aged 2) and Riot (aged 21 months), stepped onto the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a stunning custom suit by Marc Jacobs, the world was already privy to her thrilling announcement.

She had some thrilling updates she was eager to share, and she told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, “I’m doing well, surprisingly not feeling overly stressed or overwhelmed right now. Initially, I felt a bit tired, but I’m excited.

In a similar vein, A$AP, who served as a co-chair for the Met Gala alongside Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, and Pharrell Williams, was thrilled to announce the news from the highest point possible.

The rapper expressed his exhilaration by saying, ‘It’s fantastic, right?’ He had grown weary of keeping their work hidden and felt it was time to unveil what they had been working on. It’s wonderful that everyone is pleased for us, as we are certainly ecstatic ourselves.
