“Sinners” actress Wunmi Mosaku just debuted her baby bump on the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet!
The star stunned in a flowing yellow strapless gown with a sheer halter overlay by Matthew Reisman.
"Extra's" Mona Kosar Abdi caught up with Wunmi who confessed, "It was nice to stop pretending."
Mosaku, who also has a young daughter, said of trying to keep her pregnancy under wraps, "It's exhausting. Especially the first trimester. That's the hardest. That's the hardest one and everyone keeps it quiet and it's so exhausting. Like the drain that you feel is like nothing else. The exhaustion, you just you just want to say, 'I need some support. I need some help. I I need to lie down. I need a nap.' But you're meant to like just pretend everything's okay. It's so hard."
The actress said the best advice she got was from her acupuncturist, who told her, "Bring them into the room because then you can really be present in this moment instead of pretending, pretending, pretending."
Her "Sinners" co-star Hailee Steinfeld is also expecting, and she said, “Moms always share like our experiences… we have definitely spoken about this journey and it's different second time round, it is very different second time around… I just didn't think it would be so different like I you know I worked up until seven months pregnant with my first and I'm like, ‘Woo, it is different this time.’”
Wunmi also dished on her dress saying, "We chose yellow because in Euroba we say... 'mother is golden.' So like this is the perfect color to like let it out."
Mosaku also opened up to Vogue about expecting her second child in a personal essay, sharing, "It’s something I want to hold close — to nurture quietly, to meditate on and manifest with those who can truly hold me in the light as all this beauty and change unfolds. It’s delicate and fragile. Scary and awe-inspiring. Humbling and deeply profound."
Wunmi continued, "In my Nigerian culture, we don’t really announce this kind of news. It’s meant to be protected. Everything in me resists sharing it publicly — not because I’m not grateful or joyful, but because this feels like one of the few things that truly belongs to me.”
She explained that as she moves through award season, she knew it would be with an “ever-growing bump” and she was advised to “get ahead of speculation and questions.”
Mosaku said, "Truthfully, I’d love to just show up as me — a woman who happens to be pregnant — celebrating our powerful film and our amazing team, while I protect this most sacred prayer of my life. So, I've decided to stop trying to camouflage my bump today at the Golden Globes, so me and baby can truly enjoy and embrace the moment fully together.”
