Sophia Grace Brownlee, who shot to fame as a child when appearing on The Ellen Show, is pregnant with her first child, aged 19.
The child star became a viral sensation when she and cousin Rosie McClelland, 16, uploaded a video singing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj, wearing tutus, which led to an appearance on Ellen Degeneres’ show in 2011.
Sophia Grace and Rosie became part of The Ellen Show’s furniture over time, and attended plenty of red carpet events growing up.
But now, Sophia Grace is starting a family of her own, with her boyfriend of two years, whose identity show chooses to keep private.
She announced her pregnancy on her YouTube channel, which boasts over three million subscribers.
‘I am 21 weeks today, and the reason why I left it so long is because I always want to make sure everything is completely fine and everything is safe,’ she told her fans.

‘I was very shocked when I first found out, I have got used to it now and I am super, super happy about it.’
She added that she ‘can’t wait’ to document her pregnancy and share it with her followers, saying her channel might turn into ‘something new’ as she prepares to become a mum.
Already conscious of receiving negative comments, Sophia Grace warned: ‘I wanted to talk about it a little, but make sure to comment nice things only. I don’t want any negative comments.
‘Negative comments will be getting deleted and blocked.’

While filming her video, Sophia Grace was surrounded by pink and blue balloons, teasing that she already knows the sex of her baby.
However, she’s keeping her fans in suspense for a little longer, as she plans to film a ‘gender reveal’ video.
Sophia Grace went on to say she has some apps on her phone to help monitor her pregnancy, and her baby is currently the size of a banana.
The singer also showed her baby bump as she stood up and turned to the side, saying it’s not too big at the moment, and feels ‘swollen.’
Her fans flocked to the comments section to offer Sophia Grace and her boyfriend their congratulations, with many also joking that they feel ‘old’ now she’s all grown up and expecting a baby.
‘I grew up watching you I cant wait to watch your journey with your bundle of joy,’ one fan commented.
‘She grew up SOO FAST!’, wrote another.
A third penned: ‘CONGRATS. I remember when you were first on The Ellen Show and now this. Congrats girl, I’m so happy for you.’
