""I have some news. Beautiful, personal, sacred news. A prayer, really. It's something I want to hold close-to nurture quietly, to meditate on and manifest with those who can truly hold me in the light as all this beauty and change unfolds. It's delicate and fragile. Scary and awe-inspiring. Humbling and deeply profound,""
""In my Nigerian culture, we don't really announce this kind of news. It's meant to be protected. Everything in me resists sharing it publicly-not because I'm not grateful or joyful, but because this feels like one of the few things that truly belongs to me," Wunmi continued."
""Truthfully, I'd love to just show up as me-a woman who happens to be pregnant-celebrating our powerful film and our amazing team, while I protect this most sacred prayer of my life," she said. "So, I've decided to stop trying to camouflage my bump today at the Golden Globes, so me and baby can truly enjoy and embrace the moment fully together.""
Wunmi Mosaku welcomed her first child, a daughter, seven months before portraying Annie in Ryan Coogler's Sinners, which received seven Golden Globe nominations. Months after Sinners' release, she is pregnant again. The 39-year-old Nigerian-British actor attended the Golden Globes in a yellow halter gown that casually revealed her belly. She wrote a Vogue essay describing a desire to keep the pregnancy private because of Nigerian cultural practices that encourage protection of such news. She acknowledged that awards-season visibility and speculation prompted her to reveal the pregnancy publicly and to stop camouflaging her bump at the Globes.
