- Wunmi Mosaku publicly revealed her pregnancy on the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet.
- She said she would no longer try to “camouflage” her bump and chose to celebrate visibly.
- Mosaku is promoting the film Sinners during awards season and is launching a maternity clothing line, Iyadé.
Mosaku’s reveal at the Golden Globes
On January 11, 2026, actress Wunmi Mosaku used the Golden Globes red carpet to share a deeply personal moment: she is pregnant. In a first-person statement published by Vogue, Mosaku explained she had decided to stop trying to camouflage her bump and instead embrace the moment with her baby.
“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,” she wrote. Dressed in a custom yellow Matthew Reisman gown, Mosaku described the decision as both sacred and celebratory.
Why she chose to share now
Mosaku said that increased visibility from the success of her film Sinners—and the attention that comes with awards season—made speculation inevitable. Rather than let rumors shape the narrative, she opted to get ahead of questions about her look or figure and protect the personal nature of the news by sharing it on her own terms.
Raised in a Nigerian and Yoruba cultural context where pregnancy announcements are traditionally kept private, Mosaku called her post an “anti-announcement pregnancy announcement.” She said the moment felt intimate, and she asked for privacy and good wishes: “Say a prayer for a safe arrival and recovery.”
A new venture: Iyadé, maternity wear
Alongside the news, Mosaku revealed she’s launching a clothing line for mothers called Iyadé — which means “mother has arrived” in Yoruba. The line is inspired by her own experiences and aims to honor bodies in transition, offering comfort, dignity, and elegant options for pregnant and postpartum women.
Mosaku framed Iyadé as part of a broader effort to center and celebrate creators and the realities of matrescence: the physical and emotional transformation of becoming a mother. She described the line as born from lived experience and intended to support mothers with practical, beautiful clothing.
Style and message
The yellow Matthew Reisman dress Mosaku wore to the Globes echoed a Yoruba saying she invoked in her announcement—Iya ni Wúrà, which translates as “mother is golden.” The look and the statement together underscored her wish for women to be allowed dignity and respect when conversations turn to their bodies.
Mosaku also acknowledged the challenges of pregnancy—nausea, fatigue and the complex emotional journey—reminding readers that what appears effortless from the outside often involves private struggle.
What’s next
Mosaku will continue her awards-season appearances promoting Sinners while balancing motherhood and the launch of Iyadé. The actress asked for tenderness in public discourse around pregnant bodies and closed her piece with a request for prayers as she and her family prepare for the arrival of their child.
