The actress revealed her pregnancy news in the most iconic way possible, unveiling her growing bump during her SNL monologue in December.
‘There’s some rumours going around,’ she said during her opening monologue. ‘People have been in my comments saying, “Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,” and I want to set the record straight.’
Ripping open the jacket to reveal her baby bump, she delightedly declared: ‘I am!
