‘This Is How Extra One Needs to be’: Fans Floored by Zonnique Pullins’ Floral-Themed Maternity Shoot

Zonnique Pullins served major flower goddess energy in maternity pictures as she reflected on the blessing of her impending motherhood.

Although she’s more than ready for her bundle of joy to arrive, she isn’t letting her impatience stop her from stunting until the moment she’s ready to pop. On Wednesday, Dec. 9, the “FTCU” singer shared a few selects from her floral-themed shoot on Instagram. She left her fans breathless as she radiated in all three of her bump-baring looks: a strapless pastel floor-length gown, a cream lacey coverup with matching bra and panties, and a regal deep purple bow gown with a dramatic train.

The 24-year-old reality star’s sentimental accompanying caption dedicated to her unborn daughter was just as beautiful as her pics, reading, ” ‘You never understand life until it grows inside you’ can’t wait to meet my everything 🌸.”

Zonnique admitted that initially she’d hoped her baby girl would be a boy because she thought “it would be easier,” but after thinking more about the “girlie things” she can do, realized how much fun being a girl mom will be.

“I wanted a boy at first, because I just felt like I would be more of a boy mom and it would be easier,” she told β€œHollywood Life” in August. “But, to be honest, now that I’m having a girl, she can go everywhere with me and I won’t feel bad that I’m doing too many girlie things and my child is with me,” the singer explained, adding, β€œI can take her to get my nails done with me and she can do everything with me, and that’s what I’m most excited about.”

The co-host of Fox Soul’s “The Mix” has been openly sharing her pregnancy journey with fans since revealing the news to stepdad T.I. during their Aug. 4 episode. This includes posting videos and photos, to keeping it real in interviews and, judging from the responses, these looks definitely could be contenders for some of her followers’ favorite maternity moments.

“Come thru mother πŸ”₯,” complimented a follower.

“STUNNING !!!!❀️,” another exclaimed.

Others commented in the same vein.

“Because yes… this is how extra one needs to be 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍”

“You know this what we been waiting on πŸ˜πŸ˜β€

“OMG!! Now this is how you do maternity photos 😍😍😍😍”

The baby girl will be the first child together for Zonnique and her boyfriend Israel β€œBandhunta Izzy” James, and the third for the 23-year-old rapper.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
