Beyoncé’s Pregnancy News May Weirdly Have Something to Do With the Grammys

Feb 02, 2017

When you’re as wildly famous as Beyoncé, nothing is ever simple and straightforward, and that includes a pregnancy announcement. There’s plenty to consider before letting the world in on the big news, which is why some folks think that there may be a lot more to the pics than we first assumed (e.g. hidden messages and secret meanings). That’s also why plenty of fans think that Beyoncé’s pregnancy announcement may weirdly have something to do with the Grammys.

With the year’s biggest music awards just over a week away, there are those who are wondering why Bey didn’t just wait to make her big announcement then and there.

A source revealed to Us Weekly that there’s a very good reason behind the decision. “She announced it this way before Grammy fittings and rehearsals, as she knew it would get out. She couldn’t repeat the same debut on the show like the [2011] VMAs and didn’t want it to take away from her Grammy wins and performance.”

The source added, “She wants Grammy night to be about celebrating the album and her work. Now she can get ready and perform on Grammy night without all the attention going to this.” That said, there will still no doubt be a heck of a lot of attention focused on Beyoncé at the awards, as everyone is eager to check out her look, her performance and that adorable baby belly.

And fans are HERE for it…

Um, Sofia Richie Gave Her 5-Month-Old Daughter A Phone — And The Texts Are Hilarious

Sofia Richie really is that girl. Her wedding reigns supreme all over Pinterest, her fashion sense is iconic, and her classy attitude is one people can't help but admire. Now, the It Girl is taking on a new adventure, and we couldn't be more excited for her — she's a first-time mom! She and her husband, Elliot Grainge, confirmed the news to Vogue on January 25, and here's everything you need to know (including little one's gender!).

Sofia Richie Grainge's Daughter Is Already Building Her Communication Skills

A post shared by Sofia Richie Grainge (@sofiagrainge)

Sofia stopped by the Therapuss podcast to chat with host Jake Shane about motherhood and talked about little Eloise's latest development. According to PEOPLE,, Shane revealed, "Eloise has a little baby phone, that we get to text, or I like to text." Though she can't respond just yet, Sofia told listeners that "whoever is with Eloise gets the phone."

Shane then joked about a mini 'heated' exchange he and Eloise had via text. "I said, ‘Eloise do you mind if me and your mommy talk about how perfect you are on the podcast today?’ And she said, ‘No, keep my name out of your mouth.’ And I said, ‘Eloise, excuse me.’ She said, ‘I hate you.'"

Jokes aside, Sofia is embracing being a mother. She told Shane that her "life makes sense now" because she's "never loved anything more." Also, she doesn't mind admitting she's "obsessed with her" and thinks Eloise is "perfect."

How sweet is this?!

Sofia Richie Grainge Shared A Sneak Peek Of Her Daughter

@sofiagrainge/Instagram

Sofia Richie Grainge is soaking up mommy life! She shared the sweetest pics of her family on Instagram and let the world know she wouldn't trade life with them for anything.

She's also keeping true to her word by not fully sharing baby Eloise's face, not that people seem to mind! Lily Collins commented, "😍😍😍😍🥹🥹🥹🥹" while other fans commented on how cute and perfect baby girl is.

All I can is that everyone loves an It Girl turned mom who's fully embracing the family life!

Sofia Richie Grainge Officially Announces Her Daughter's Birth

@sofiagrainge/Instagram

On Friday May 24, 2024, Sofia Richie Grainge announced the birth of her daughter on Instagram. She posted a photo of a tiny little foot, captioned, "Eloise Samantha Grainge 🤍5•20•24 best day of my life🤍"

Obviously family, friends, and fans alike are ecstatic about the news! Sofia's sister Nicole Richie commented, "I now have a new favorite EG. sorry Elliot 🐧💕" Other celeb love came from Lily Collins, Emily Ratajkowski, Ashley Tisdale, Katy Perry, and soooo many more!

We're so happy for this new mom, and we're absolutely wishing she, Elliot, and Eloise the best!

How did Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge find out they were expecting a baby?

Sofia Richie told Vogue that she found out the exciting news very early on, at just four weeks. She was on a trip to Milan for Fashion Week for the Prada show (you know, just It Girl things) and felt sick throughout. Though she initially brushed it off as jet lag, she came back and took a test, given that she and her husband had been casually trying since April of 2023.

When that faint line came up, she sent Elliot to CVS and pick up more tests. When they all came positive, the excitement ensued! They decided to only share their news with their parents when they hit the eight-week mark. Sofia was very intentional about her decision to keep things private for a while, as pregnancy can be scary and she wanted to protect her space and mental health.

What is the gender of Sofia Richie Grainge's baby?

Cindy Ord/Getty Images for David Yurman

This "It"-girl is having... a baby "It"-girl! That's right, Sofia Richie is expected a sweet baby girl. She told Vogue that she had her assistant buy party poppers that revealed the gender to her and Elliot. While both soon-to-be parents expected a boy, Richie's dream was to have a daughter. She says that Elliot is excited to be a girl-dad, especially because he grew up with lots of sisters.

Sofia also said that she's already curated quite a wardrobe for her daughter. She explained that since the moment she found out that she was pregnant, she's gone crazy with the online shopping. The vibe is "cute and girly," and she's been collecting pieces for years that she's excited to pass down to her baby one day!

As for the nursery, Sofia says she's all about pastel pinks — her vision is to bring a little girl's fantasy to life!

What kind of mother did Sofia Richie Grainge say she hopes to be? 

Cindy Ord/Getty Images for David Yurman

The girl on all our vision boards has her own vision of how she's approaching motherhood. She explained to Vogue that she wants to be a role model for her daughter and raise her to be a smart and kind person. Manners are kindness are things that she really values and things that she says were instilled in her at a young age.

She wants to be her daughter's best friend in a way, and ultimately help guide her through life. TBH, it's giving Lorelai and Rory, and I'm all here for it! Richie recognizes the importance of balance in parenthood, hoping to strike the right blend of being protective without going overboard. She also wants to refrain from publicizing her child and wants her to have the option to be a private person.

How did Lionel and Nicole Richie react to Sofia Richie's pregnancy?

@lionelrichie/Instagram

The famous singer and Sofia's father, Lionel Richie is clearly excited and seems ready to be a grandfather to another baby! He reposted one of Sofia's Vogue pictures with the caption, "My little girl is having a baby!" Nicole Richie also re-posted one of the photos from the shoot with a heart and crying face emoji. I think it's safe to say this baby is being born into a family rich with love!

First-Time Callerby B.K. Borison (February 11, 2025)

Aiden Valentine is the host of the Heartstrings radio segment on a hit Baltimore radio station, but he doesn't exactly believe in love anymore. He's become cynical and it's costing the station big time, something his boss and best friend have not-so subtly told him.

Yet when a pre-teen calls in to ask if he can help her mom, Lucie Stone, find love, he's introduced to a fiery, beautiful, and witty woman who chips away at his tough exterior. The more they pretend they're helping Lucie find the man of her dreams, the more they realize love has a way of orbiting around us if only we'd pay attention and give it a chance.

Amazon

We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes (February 11, 2025)

Lila Kennedy's tired from a loveless marriage, being a mom, and the busy home she's not sure she knows what to do with anymore. Even her career has taken a nose dive.

Stuck in a passionless marriage, Lenore wonders if there's something greater out there and finds her answer during a trip with her husband Henry to the British moorlands.

It's not lost on Lenore that she feels drawn to Carmilla in inexplicable ways, but she's also aware something isn't right about her.
The more young girls are filled with a never-ending appetite, the more Lenore's suspicions grow. But it may be too late now that Carmilla's been invited into her home.

Amazon

Deep Cuts by Holly Brickley (February 25, 2025)

In 2000, Berkeley student Percy Marks finds herself thinking about music and whether it's moving or not. Her ideals happen to catch the attention of songwriter Joe Morrow who thinks she's brilliant.

Amazon

I'll Have What She's Having by Chelsea Handler (February 25, 2025)

Chelsea Handler's known for her comedic timing, but she's also full of wisdom that's actually fairly good. From her days as an enterprising child to the time she got friendly with a governor, she's seen and done it all. However, there's more to Chelsea than the world has seen or heard about.
She's the true definition of loyal and knows that self-care goes deeper than some of us would like to admit. In I'll Have What She's Having, readers get to see a side of her that's not always shared.
