My roommates and I were also wondering if she was pregnant and not only after rewatching some clips, where you can see her caressing her stomach but also doing research it looks like she is. There are many online sources claiming that she is, some of them even claiming that her reps have confirmed the pregnancy. While Rihanna herself hasn't commented it feels pretty evident that she is.

Answer 4

After many speculations about Rihanna's Superbowl performance, it was questioned whether she was once again pregnant with her second child. However, some people criticized the expectations of a mother's body to 'bounce back' after delivery.  Afterward, Rihanna's representatives did come out to announce and confirm that she was indeed pregnant with her second child, only months after delivering her first child.

Answer 6

The claim that Rihanna was pregnant during the Super Bowl with her second child is true. The information I read from the CBS news article was very accurate. They provided a quote from Rihanna were she said that "I'm thinking about bringing someone." This quote that Rihanna gave before the halftime show hints towards that fact that someone, or a baby, is joining her on stage. They also spoke with a spokesperson form Rihanna directly that confirmed that she is in fact pregnant. Additionally, other similar sources are confirming that same information. The Hollywood Reporter and CNN also mention that a representative of Rihannas confirmed to their reporters that she is pregnant. Celebrity representatives work to share information with the public that maintains the celebrities image. Therefore, Rihannas representatives would not speak on her behalf to spread false information about her personal life. This information suggests that the claim that Rihanna was pregnant during the halftime show is true.

Answer 7

Rihanna's Super Bowl performance left many wondering whether or not she was pregnant. Her pregnancy has been claimed by many sources and even posts on her Instagram where A$AP Rocky is holding her stomach. According to NPR, "And pregnancy No. 2 appears to be off to a similar start, given that she announced it in an all-red flight suit/breastplate/puffer coat ensemble while suspended on a glass platform high in the air."

Nice work finding sources that hadn't been used by other students already.

Answer 8

This claim is true, according to a representative of Rihanna, as found in The Hollywood Reporter (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/rihanna-pregnant-rep-confirms-super-bowl-halftime-show-1235323383/) stating that “[Rihanna] is pregnant”, referencing her Super Bowl halftime performance in which she performed displaying a baby bump. New York Post (https://nypost.com/2023/02/13/why-rihanna-waited-to-reveal-pregnancy-at-super-bowl-2023/) cites Rihanna’s tease in response to questions about surprises during the performance that she was “thinking about bringing someone”, which almost certainly alluded to her pregnancy.
