Tracee Ellis Ross Addresses Pregnancy Speculation
Anne Hathaway Is Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 3 With Husband Adam Shulman
Tracee Ellis Ross is shutting down this American fiction.
After rumors circulated that the Black-ish actress was expecting her first baby, she cheekily addressed speculation while promoting her upcoming Broadway debut in Every Brilliant Thing.
“I don’t have social media on my phone right now, and I kept getting texts, and people were like, ‘Congratulations.’ I’m like, ‘On the play? Thank you!’” Ross recalled during a June 23 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “Well, apparently, it’s swirling around, and it seems that people think I’m pregnant.”
The 53-year-old mused that she found the rumor “hilarious,” adding, “I am not pregnant.”
And considering Ross has never been pregnant, she joked she’s completely unfamiliar with the process—but not in the way you might think.
“I don’t know how you get the preggers,” she added with a laugh. “Now, ‘the pregnant’ I think is different from just pregnant. I know how you get pregnant. But ‘the pregnant’ is a thing they make up online when it’s obviously a slow news day.”
For most of her career, Ross has been “happily single,” and has often had to acknowledge where she stands on the idea of having a family.
