Remember Sophia Grace Brownlee, the former child star who went viral on The Ellen Show in 2011 for flawlessly rapping Super Bass? She has just revealed that she’s expecting a baby.

In a YouTube vlog posted on Sunday, Oct. 23, the TV personality announced that she’s five months pregnant. “I’m sure a lot of you are going to be very shocked because it probably was quite unexpected,” she said.

“But I was very shocked when I first found out. I got used to it now and I’m super, super happy about it. I can’t wait to share this journey with you guys,” she added.

She did not disclose any details about the father of her baby.

Brownlee went viral over a decade ago for adorably singing Nicki Minaj’s hit song Super Bass with her cousin Rosie McClelland. Aside from impressing Ellen and Nicki, she also captivated the viewers’ hearts as the video of their performance made the rounds online. It has gained more than a hundred million views as of this writing.

Now 19 years old, she makes content as a vlogger and influencer with over a million followers on Instagram and over 3 million subscribers on YouTube.
