She revealed the baby news amid her interview with Vogue that month. “We did the one show. I was pregnant and had no idea,” she told the outlet the same day they released photos of her growing baby bump. “It was crazy because it was our one-year anniversary. That was not the plan. The thought of getting pregnant didn’t seem like it could be a reality. Becoming pregnant kind of made me feel human. I want a better word than womanly, [but]—I have curves I’ve never had before. I’m enjoying it. My husband’s enjoying it.”
