Rihanna gave away the biggest clue that she was expecting baby number two just days before revealing her pregnancy during the Super Bowl halftime show.
Rihanna revealed she’s pregnant and expecting her second baby after debuting her baby bump during her hugely-anticipated return to the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Although the news came as a huge shock to fans since the superstar only welcomed her first baby with boyfriend A$AP Rocky in May last year, it turns out Riri dropped a pretty big hint about her second bundle of joy just days before the big NFL event.
