Pink Just Announced Her Pregnancy + Debuted Her Baby Bump With One “Perfect” Fall Photo
…And the good news just keeps coming! After seeing the super sweet message Eric Johnson sent J. Simps for their six-year anniversary and Katy Perry’s inspiring reasoning for donating $10K to Planned Parenthood, we were already having a better-than-average day, but singer Pink just gave us all another reason to celebrate: She’s pregnant with baby number two!
Posting a photo to her Instagram page that showcases her in a flowing white gown with daughter Willow (a Matt Damon fan of epic proportions) by her side, fans couldn’t help but notice the MASSIVE new addition she seems to be suddenly sporting: Just look at that baby bump!
“Surprise!” she writes. Surprise, indeed.
Husband Carey reposted the stunning shot to his page, along with a lot of surprised emojis and one lone bottle.
The singer reportedly gave us all a few big hints about her pregnant status when she appeared on Good Morning America back in May. “I feel like I have two kids right now,” she joked of her husband. “I would like a third.”
It looks like she’s going to get that wish, which is a mighty good thing, since its one that factors into her plans for success. “I love being a mama,” she told GMA. “I made a choice long ago that I was going to have a successful family and that is my absolutely number one goal in life.”
An admirable one, to be sure.
Congratulations Pink and Carey — we can’t wait to meet Willow’s little sibling!

Getting the word out about your brand takes time, drive, and ingenuity. And it doesn't come easy for many entrepreneurs. As part of our collaboration with Office Depot, we're chatting with Selfmade alum Taylor Morgan McPherson, founder of Sustainable Sparkle Bar, about ways in which she scored press as a solo startup brand and what she learned from Selfmade to take her brand marketing up a notch.
B + C: How did you know Sustainable Sparkle Bar was your business to start?
Glitter has always been my thing, so when I started my event company I decided to make it my niche. I started telling people I threw glitter-themed parties where people would get sparkled with glitter body art and makeup. Six months after that I applied to my first festival and to work with SUR restaurant in West Hollywood.
B + C: What's one strategy that's helped you start your business?
I honestly can't say that I've had a specific strategy that I've followed when it comes to getting my business off the ground. I have a PR background so I was just constantly pitching new business and posting on social media.
B + C: What's the biggest challenge you face as a small business owner?
I would say creating a stable income and revenue stream. With a seasonal, event-based business it can be very up and down.
B + C: What was your most valuable takeaway from Selfmade?
The relationships I made and the push to start an email database.
B + C: How do you stay motivated?
I love what I do and I believe in myself 100%. Staying motivated isn't the hard part. Pushing myself to do the work and staying accountable is the hard part.
B + C: What's your best organizational tip? Do you use any apps that help you manage your business?
I keep multiple to-do lists, hand-written and digital. I also tell clients and partners that I will have something to them by a certain time or day so I have to stick to it.
B + C: What's one piece of advice you would give to female entrepreneurs on the brink of starting?
Just do it, take the leap. And don't worry about what anyone else says to thinks.
B + C: Who inspires you in the entrepreneurial space?
Issa Rae, I'm so inspired by everything that she's created being a creative and a black woman. It's my dream to have my own show one day based on my life and where I give advice and talk about the world. She's doing it and making people laugh and giving people joy. And it's based in LA. Watching Insecure only further cemented my dreams of wanting to live in LA.
B + C: How did you hear about the Office Depot scholarship?
One of my friends that I met through Camp No Counselors saw an IG ad for it and nominated me.
B + C: What has receiving the scholarship to Selfmade done to help you start/grow your business?
It's completely helped me level up and take my business to another level. Selfmade helped me host my first virtual event and taught me how to set up my website to sell tickets to events and get RSVPs.
B + C: How have Office Depot services or products helped you accomplish more in your business?
I got new cards to send in all of my orders with my discount code on them. I also bought a really cool 4K camera that I now use for my social media.
