Rihanna’s pregnancy revelation during the Super Bowl show freaks out fans and celebrities on social media

Rihanna set social media on fire during her incredible halftime performance at Super Bowl 2023 when she revealed her baby bump.

The 34-year-old superstar is pregnant with her second child after welcoming a son with A$AP Rocky in May of last year.

The Fenty mogul made her triumphant return to music on Sunday when she rocked the star-studded State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, wearing a bright red bodysuit.

Revealing her bump to over 70,000 fans, Rihanna became the first pregnant woman to headline a halftime show and delivered a sensational performance.

Fans went wild on social media, with many celebrities, including her infamous ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, posting their well wishes.

‘Damn,’ wrote comedian Michael Che. ‘I see why they call you as soon as possible.’

Beyond the many humorous quips that flooded social media, there was a tidal wave of heartfelt congratulations for the Grammy-winning icon.

Perhaps the sweetest and most surprising message came from Rihanna’s ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, who posted a simple message on his Instagram Story that read, “GO GIRL.”

Brown placed the words on a purple background and included the emojis of a red heart and praying hands.

One of the stars present was Cardi B, who cheered on Rihanna from her seat in the stands.

And Zendaya was left speechless at the hitmaker’s revelation, as she posted an image to her Instagram Story that showed her stunned.

Halsey sent the Diamonds singer some love via Instagram when she posted a photo of an ‘alter’ created for Rihanna on her mantelpiece.

But not everyone was thrilled, as one fan lamented a possible delay to Rihanna’s next album by captioning an image of a sour expression, writing: “I realize Rihanna is pregnant again and we’ll never get another album.”

Sunday’s halftime performance marked the first time Rihanna has performed on live television since 2018, when she joined DJ Khaled onstage to sing Wild Thoughts at the Grammy Awards.

The nine-time Grammy winner kicked off the show by suspended from a platform above the field while singing her B**** Better Have My Money single.

A$AP Rocky kept a low profile at the event. The two have kept their growing family under the radar, and so far neither musician has shared the name of his son.

The hitmaker paired the suit with a set of chunky red sneakers. The platform she was suspended from then lowered onto the field, where she joined a troupe of white-clad dancers onstage.

She kept her dance moves to a minimum while letting the backup dancers take over.

Rihanna stayed true to the hits and didn’t reveal any new songs during her performance, which featured 12 songs. She had the crowd going wild when she transitioned to Where Have You Been, followed by the hit Only Girl (In The World).

We Found Love, Rude Boy and his hit Work followed, although his collaborator Drake did not appear on the last song. He continued with Wild Thoughts and Pour It Up.

The hitmaker chose some controversial songs, including an excerpt from her verse from rapper Kanye West’s All Of The Lights, and also performed part of Jay-Z’s Run This Town, which also featured West in his original version.
