'Ellen' Star Sophia Grace Brownlee Announces Second Pregnancy

Sophia Grace Brownlee, known for her viral "Super Bass" performance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," revealed she's expecting her second child.

In a YouTube video, the 21-year-old shared her excitement about the pregnancy, sharing her plans to disclose the baby's sex soon.

While Sophia Grace Brownlee enjoys documenting her journey, she remains private about her partner's identity, preferring to keep some aspects of her life out of the spotlight.

Brownlee recently announced that she is pregnant with baby number two in a video posted to her YouTube channel on Sunday, August 25.

The social media personality shared the exciting news with her followers, writing: "So as you can see by the title of this video, I am expecting baby number two. I'M PREGNANT BABY NUMBER 2 [heart emoji]."

Brownlee expressed her excitement about finally being able to share the news, adding: "I am so excited to be doing this video, I've been hiding this for a super long time. I have actually seen some of you guys guessed it in the comments, and I really wanted to be like, 'Yes, I am.'"

"As a very paranoid, very anxious person, I always like to wait until I'm at least like around the 20-week mark," she noted. "And I almost am."

"So I thought it would be the perfect time to announce it," Brownlee added.

Brownlee expressed her excitement about sharing her pregnancy journey with her subscribers once again, recalling how much she enjoyed creating "lots of fun videos" during her first pregnancy with River, who is 18 months old.

"I'm actually finding out the gender today," she exclaimed. "I can't even explain to you guys just how excited I am and that video will be coming soon, so tuned for that."

The British influencer then stood up to reveal her growing baby bump, noting that she felt smaller this time around.

Brownlee also gave her viewers a glimpse into her pregnancy so far, sharing clips from her first midwife appointment, her first scan, and her 12-week scan.

The excited mom shared that because she had a cesarean section and dilated to 10 cm during her last pregnancy, her doctors are being cautious about the possibility of preterm labor.

"It's very uncommon but it does happen," Brownlee explained, adding that as a precaution, her medical team is monitoring her cervix "to see if it's all closed and how it should be."

She added that her first cervix check went smoothly and that she was scheduled for another check-up in four weeks.

Brownlee also shared her excitement about watching her toddler son become a big brother.

She said, "It's going to be so nice for him to have a younger sibling. And because they're quite close in age, they can grow up together, and I just think that's really sweet."

Her cousin Rosie, who has remained a close friend, also celebrated the news by reposting it on her own social media and writing, "The secret is finally out, so excited!"

In her eight-minute video, Brownlee mentioned that she would share her baby's gender in a separate video and also kept details about the baby's father private.

In a previous interview with E! News in October 2022, Brownlee explained her decision to keep her partner's identity private.

She said, "Because I have always been in the spotlight, I feel like I want something just to keep to myself — Just something that I can keep private and that I can just enjoy myself and not have to share it with everyone."

However, Brownlee does not intend to keep her partner's identity hidden forever. She notes that she would be glad to have him appear in her videos when he is ready.

"I would be completely happy to share him and I would be completely happy for him to be in my videos," she said. "But I feel like when he's confident enough to be in them, then maybe we could do that and it'll be really fun."
