Lea Michele performs while pregnant for first time ever at Joe Biden’s $25 million fundraiser: ‘I just decided why not?’
Even though Lea Michele is pregnant for the second time, the proud mom is still checking off a few firsts on her list.
The 37-year-old Golden Globe nominee celebrated pregnancy for the first time on Thursday when she took the stage at Radio City Music Hall in New York City for President Joe Biden’s record-breaking $25 million fundraiser.
“So I’ve never sung pregnant before,” she explained on her Instagram Story in a video for her 8.3 million followers.
“And I just decided, why don’t I come to Radio City, one of the most amazing, iconic locations in the world, for the first time and sing ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade’?” Michelle added.
Biden, 81, was supported by his predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton during “An Evening with the Presidents.”
