Sophia Grace Brownlee is pregnant with her second child.

The 21-year-old has revealed that she is expecting again, after keeping it secret for months.

Her first child – son River – was born in March 2023 alongside her mystery boyfriend.

She originally shot to fame on The Ellen DeGeneres Show at the age of eight alongside her younger cousin Rosie McClelland, when the TV host spotted them singing Nicki Minaj’s hit Super Bass on YouTube and invited them to become regular cast members.

Speaking on her YouTube channel which has over three million subscribers, she explained: ‘I’m so excited to be doing this video. I’ve been hiding this for a super long time. I’m a very paranoid and anxious person. I always like to wait until I’m around the 20-week mark.

‘I’ve had both of my scans and everything’s been fine so far, which is really good.’

Sophia – who will be revealing the sex of the baby at a later date –  is also excited that her eldest will have a sibling who is so ‘close in age’ to them and she is looking forward to watching them grow up together.

She said: ‘It’s going to be so nice for him to have a younger sibling. And because they’re quite close in age, they can grow up together, and I just think that’s really sweet.’

The former child star previously explained that she has kept her partner’s identity out of the public eye because she wants to keep something to herself amid her life in the spotlight.

She told E! News: ‘Because I have always been in the spotlight, I feel like I want something just to keep to myself. Just something that I can keep private and that I can just enjoy myself and not have to share it with everyone.’

The child star became a viral sensation when she and Rosie, 18, uploaded a video singing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj, wearing tutus, which led to an appearance on Ellen Degeneres’ show in 2011.

They interviewed celebrities including Taylor Swift in their role on The Ellen Show, and amused fans with their cute questions.

Since her Ellen Show days, Sophia Grace has continued to enjoy a career in entertainment. She and Rosie starred in their own movie in 2014, and they’ve published two books.

Sophia Grace has also released her own music, including track Safe in Your Love.
