Dua Lipa responds to rumours she’s pregnant with first child

‘I’m not pregnant, just to clear it up,’ says singer

Dua Lipa has addressed rumours she is pregnant during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, which she guest-hosted on Monday evening.

The singer sparked pregnancy rumours last week after she shared a photograph of herself on holiday via Twitter alongside a series of emojis in the caption.

Among the emojis were baby bottles, a teddy bear, and an angel, leading fans to speculate that Lipa might be expecting her first child with her boyfriend, model Anwar Hadid.

However, the 25-year-old has now dispelled the rumours and assured fans that she simply enjoys posting a mix of emojis to accompany her photos on social media and did not think it through on this occasion.

 “I like finding little random emojis, like a little baby bottle or angels and sparkles. Random," she said.

“I really didn’t think this through and I posted it and then I look at the comments and somebody says, ‘is she pregnant?’ And I look at the picture, I  look at the comment, I look at the picture, I look at the comment, and I’m like, ‘surely I don’t look pregnant?’"

In the photo, Lipa is pictured outside at night wearing a tartan green dress with cut-out detail at the sides.

The “Levitate” singer replied to one person on Twitter, who has commented asking if she was pregnant. “Food baby,” Lipa wrote.

The singer continued: “And then I see that people have been writing stories saying that I posted some cryptic message that I might be announcing my pregnancy. 

"And I’m just like, ‘oh my God, these emojis have come to bite me in the a**.’”

Lipa concluded: “I’m not pregnant, just to clear it up.”
