Rosie McClelland, 16, congratulated her cousin Sophia Grace Brownlee, 19, on her pregnancy on Oct. 23. The teen, who rose to fame with Sophia after appearing on numerous episodes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show when they were younger, shared a photo of her hugging the mom-to-be on Instagram and included a sweet message. She also revealed the photo was taken right after she found out about the happy news.
“This photo was the moment Sophia told me she was pregnant (as you can see I am crying) Congratulations to my beautiful cousin Sophia on the news of your pregnancy! To say I’m excited is a understatement, I can’t wait to share this whole new chapter with you and be by your side watching you be the best mum ever! Love you so so much 💗💙💗💙💗💙 #sophiagrace #rosie #baby,” Rosie’s message read.
The loving post comes after Sophia surprised many followers by announcing her pregnancy in a YouTube video on Oct. 22. She admitted she was surprised to find out herself, but was now excited about becoming a mom. “I was very shocked when I first found out, [and] I’ve got used to it now and I’m super, super happy about it,” she said in the video. “I can’t wait to share this journey with you.”
In her announcement, Sophia also revealed that she’s 21 weeks pregnant, which means she’s more than halfway through her pregnancy. She showed off her growing baby bump to the camera and admitted that her YouTube videos may start to be more baby-related as she gets closer to giving birth. She also gave followers a glimpse of a sonogram photo of the baby.
Shortly after Sophia shared her pregnancy news, followers immediately started leaving comments on the video and many included well wishes. Others expressed how wild they though it was to see her growing up and becoming a mom since they remembered her singing and dancing with Ellen as a little girl. Sophia has yet to reveal who the father of the baby is and whether it’s a boy or girl.
