Comedian’s Boyfriend Shares Sweet Pregnancy News On-Air
Comedian Jess Hilarious revealed some big personal news yesterday on the popular radio show “The Breakfast Club” – she is pregnant with her second child! The surprise revelation came when Hilarious’ boyfriend called into the show to wish her a happy birthday.
“I’m so excited for our little bundle of joy as well,” he said happily. When pressed for details by hosts DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God, Hilarious confirmed “Yes I am pregnant. I am 3 months, so I am 13 weeks.”
Her boyfriend’s sweet on-air announcement kicked off a wave of congratulatory and supportive comments on social media from fans and friends alike.
Claudia Jordan wrote “Congratulations!! Look how much your life has changed for the best.” Others expressed excitement for Hilarious starting this next chapter while continuing to succeed in her career.
Pregnancy News Met With Positivity And Criticism
While many fans offered their congratulations and well-wishes, some commentators questioned Hilarious’ decision to get pregnant so soon after officially joining “The Breakfast Club” as a host.
However, as many working mothers in entertainment from Halle Berry to Cardi B have shown, pregnancy and motherhood does not have to spell career doom.
Women have proven adept at balancing family and professional demands. Legally, Hilarious’ job will still be there for her when she returns from maternity leave.
Additionally, her boyfriend Chris hinted at a possible next step in their relationship – engagement – responding “Oh yeah, don’t worry” when Charlamagne said an engagement ring would be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift.
Congrats to #JessHilarious! She just announced she's pregnant on #TheBreakfastClub!
