Shakira was eager to talk about fellow singer, Rihanna‘s pregnancy with her third child!
Page Six reported that Shakira spoke to NBC Los Angeles while walking the red carpet for the 2025 Met Gala. During the interview, the reporter inquired which celebrity she was excited to see during the glamorous event. Shakira was quick to reply, “Rihanna! I want to see her.” After Shakira said she “just heard the news” about Rihanna, the NBC Los Angeles reporter asked for clarification.
“She’s pregnant,” responded Shakira.
Shakira, looking flustered, placed her hands on her cheeks.
“Am I not supposed to say that? Aw,” said a wide-eyed Shakira, while laughing, in front of the NBC Los Angeles camera.
