According to the New York Times, they claimed that Rihanna's representative, Amanda Silverman, confirmed that she was pregnant Sunday night after the football game. The article also talks about how she hinted towards her pregnancy during her performance by rubbing her belly and wearing a tight fitting jumpsuit with an unzipped jacket. Although Rihanna had a baby last May, it is confirmed that she is pregnant again with her second child.

This claim is true. While performing, Rihanna wore a red skintight jumpsuit that showed off her baby bump. When asked, a representative for Rihanna confirmed that she was in fact pregnant. While performing, fans noticed she wasn't dancing as much as she has in her previous performances and that she kept rubbing her belly.

According to multiple sources, as well as reasonable speculation, Rihanna confirmed that she is pregnant following the Superbowl halftime show this Sunday. Her outfit made to emphasize her belly along with the subtle rub at the beginning of the performance was enough to give the secret away, but hearing the confirmation from Rihanna's team was what we all needed.

Rihanna is pregnant with her second child. Following her Super Bowl halftime show last night, social media platforms blew up debating whether she and ASAP Rocky are expecting their second kid. The couple shocked fans with their first kid by posting pregnancy pictures on instagram. This time around, they shocked fans by styling Rihanna in a red tight fitting bodysuit, showcasing her baby bump to the audience. Since her stellar performance she has confirmed her pregnancy and is recognized as the first pregnant woman to perform at the halftime show. Rihanna hinted her pregnancy to fans by rubbing her belly multiple times throughout the show as well as saying to a CBS reporter prior to the show, “I’m thinking of bringing someone. I’m not sure, but we’ll see.``. It is safe to say Rihanna had one of the most epic pregnancy reveals and will be an unstoppable mom as she welcomes her second child to life.
