Wunmi Mosaku just shared some golden news at Hollywood's most golden event of the year.
The Nigerian-British actress, 39, attended the 2026 Golden Globes to celebrate Sinners' seven nominations, but she also took the moment to announce a joyous milestone — she is pregnant with her second child!
On Jan. 11, the star debuted her growing baby bump in a custom Matthew Reisman gown in a bold sunshine yellow hue, which she told Vogue is symbolic of the Yoruba phrase, "Iya ni Wúrà" which means “mother is golden." She said, "I knew it was the right dress and the right moment."

At the same time as her red carpet arrival, Vogue released a personal essay by Mosaku about why she decided to share her "beautiful, personal, sacred news" with the world at the Globes.
"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 wrote, adding, "I’ll be in the public eye for the coming weeks [during awards season] as we excitedly take our seats amongst our peers, and I will be doing it with an ever-growing bump."
"I’ve been advised to get ahead of speculation and questions. Keen eyes mean speculation has already begun. Is she pregnant? Has she gained weight? What’s with the outfit?," she shared. "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."
Mosaku, who is a already a mom of one, also reflected on her pregnancy journey as a Black woman. "For many, peace comes once a baby is placed on their chest. For Black mothers, the path to peace is rarely that simple. Pregnancy and birth carry its own battles and terrifying statistics. I personally know that with my first child, I didn’t feel truly safe—truly able to exhale—until I received the all-clear from my OB-GYN."
Throughout her journey, she will not only worry about whether her baby will be okay, but "praying" she will be too. "Holding joy and fear at the same time is not abstract; It’s rooted in lived experience, medical bias, and real statistics. Black maternal mortality is always on our minds."

As she experiences the emotions of preparing to welcome her second child, Mosaku is basking in the success of Sinners while also spending her days "chasing after my toddler, a welcomed distraction from the business of work."
"I’m also pouring my heart into something new—a clothing line for mothers called Iyadé—which means 'mother has arrived' in Yoruba," she revealed. Born from my own lived experience, it’s about honoring bodies in transition—offering comfort, dignity, and beauty through every phase of this journey. Centering and celebrating the creators who make life possible."
