The 2025 Met Gala was a whirlwind of emotions when Shakira spilled the beans about Rihanna’s pregnancy. Unintentionally of course. This became one of the night’s biggest moments. Let’s get into what happened and how it all went down.
What Did Shakira Say About Rihanna Pregnancy?
It all started innocently enough on the red carpet with an interview with NBC Los Angeles. When asked who she was looking forward to seeing, Shakira gushed about Rihanna. Here’s what she said:
“Rihanna! I want to see her. I want to see her so bad, and I just heard the news too… She’s pregnant.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Shakira covered her face in shock and laughed nervously. “Am I not supposed to say that?” she asked. And just like that, it went viral. Setting the stage for Rihanna’s official announcement later that night.
