Unlike the you know, very public Super Bowl reveal or
even the first.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Time exactly, there's a bit less known right now.

It adds a little bit of anticipation, doesn't it. We
heard her reps were contacted, but well, no official comment
as yet.

Keeping things a bit closer this time, perhaps seems like it,
which again just shows the different ways celebrities handle sharing
their lives. Each pregnancy announcement has felt well distinct.

younger sibling. I mean, my excitement level is kind of

story continue to unfold, you know, each pregnancy marked by
these big public moments, although this latest one has maybe
a little more mystery to it for now.
