‘You Been Pregnant Forever’: Keisha Knight Pulliam’s Baby Bump Photo Has Fans Speculating How Far Along She Is

Keshia Knight Pulliam has been glowing her entire pregnancy, but fans want to know when she’s going to give birth to her baby. 

“The Cosby Show” actress recently uploaded two photos of herself in the form of a video with the song, “Good Vibes” by Ayah The Light playing in the background.

“Just saying hi!!” Pulliam wrote as her caption. 

The cute 5-second clip received over 191,000 plays and over 30,000 likes. 

As adorable as Pulliam’s video was, several fans couldn’t help but inquire about her due date, noting that she’s been with child seemingly for a while. 

“Wait you can’t still be pregnant, Keke done had her baby so [face palm emoji]”

“When yr baby due… Keke Palmers baby has made his arrival!!”

Pulliam appeared to have grown tired of the messages because she responded back to a fan who commented, “Damn she still pregnant.”

“#ThingsYouDontSayToAPregnantWoman,” the 43-year-old wrote back.

At the end of last year, Pulliam shocked the world by announcing that she and her husband, Brad James, were expecting their first child together. 

“Oh Baby Baby!! Baby James coming 2023,” her Instagram caption read. 

The two revealed that their bundle of joy was baking on the “Tamron Hall Show” while promoting their Christmas film, “A New Orleans Noel.” 

Though Pulliam and James made their pregnancy known to viewers, they did not publicly disclose their child’s due date. 

During the interview, Pulliam became emotional as she explained why she refrained from sharing the news sooner. 

“The funny thing is not that I’ve been trying to hide it, but you know when you’ve had a miscarriage when you’ve gone through this journey you’re just very, you want to just enjoy this moment,” Pulliam shared, “and want to make sure that everything is OK.”

The Emmy-winning actress also discussed how excited her 6-year-old daughter, Ella Grace Hartwell, felt about becoming a big sister. 

Pulliam shares Ella with her ex-husband, former NFL linebacker Edgerton “Ed” Hartwell II. The two had a short-lived marriage that lasted from 2016 to 2018. 

In an interview for OWN’s fertility documentary titled, “Eggs Over Easy: Black Women & Fertility,” Pulliam revealed that she was going through the process of freezing her eggs but couldn’t due to the shutdown of the “elective medical procedure.” 

She told People Magazine, “I began the process of freezing my eggs and then literally the day that I was supposed to start my meds is when, as a result of the pandemic, they shut down all elective medical procedures. So, I was unable to continue.”

Life may have thrown unforeseen curveballs in Pulliam’s way, but it seems as if everything ended up working out the way it was intended to.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
