‘Is That Happy Weight or Baby Weight?’: Fans Crassly Draw Attention to Keshia Knight Pulliam’s Weight By Speculating That She’s Pregnant

Fans think they may have found the next pregnant celebrity.

On Nov. 1, in a 69-second Instagram video, newly married Keshia Knight Pulliam discussed a hair product from Mielle Organics. As she’s talking about the effects of the product and demonstrating how to use it, fans were busy making their own speculations about the video.

These were just a few of the comments flooding her comments section: “Uhhhh baby baking,” “Ok thickness is that happy weight or baby weight love to see it,” “She’s definitely pregnant,” and “Ima just say congratulations now.”

Of course, Pulliam did not confirm or deny anything for her fans as of yet. Seeing as though she likes to keep all of her big news a secret until after its happens, it’s likely she may not be ready to share the news anytime soon if she is pregnant.

Last year in December, she surprised fans with the announcement that she and actor Brad James were engaged. The two were already engaged days before sharing it with their followers on the internet, and their actions were no different for their wedding. She dropped another bombshell on Oct. 2 when she shared pictures for her and James’ wedding and said that the ceremony took place the week before.

Although the wedding did not turn out completely the way they planned, Pulliam still said, that it was “intimate, whimsical, full of love, laughter and joy… Absolutely perfect!! Maybe one day I will share the events that inspired our change of plans. However, for now I can say God makes no mistakes & the joy is in the journey.”

If her followers’ theories are correct, this new bundle of joy would be the newlyweds’ first child together and Pulliam’s second child. The “House of Paynes” actress welcomed Ella Grace Hartwell in 2017 with her ex-husband, NFL player Edgerton Hartwell.

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

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.
