Wunmi Mosaku, known for her captivating role in “The Sinners,” has announced that she is expecting her first child. The talented actress shared the joyful news during a glamorous appearance at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes on January 11, 2026.

Stepping onto the red carpet, Mosaku exuded elegance in a flowing yellow gown, which beautifully showcased her growing baby bump. Her radiant smile and the glow of anticipation further highlighted the joyous occasion.

In a heartfelt editorial for Vogue, released just before the awards ceremony, Mosaku opened up about her decision to reveal her pregnancy during such a high-profile event. She expressed her desire to embrace this new chapter of her life with openness and authenticity, choosing a moment of celebration to share the news with the world.

Ahead of the ceremony, Mosaku shared a deeply personal editorial for Vogue and explained why she chose to publicly acknowledge her pregnancy during awards season.

“I have some news. Beautiful, personal, sacred news. A prayer, really. 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,” she began.

In the piece, Mosaku reflected on cultural tradition, noting that pregnancy announcements are typically kept private in her Nigerian culture.

“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 went on to explain that the success of Sinners has increased her public visibility during awards season.

“The success of Sinners, a project that has gifted me with more than I could imagine, a cast and crew who’ve become like family and the undeniable support of movie goers, has also given me a new visibility.”

Mosaku shared that questions about her appearance had already begun circulating. Ultimately, she decided to stop concealing her pregnancy and embrace the moment.

“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.”

Later in the essay, she shared a glimpse into her current life, including parenting and creative work.

“As my nausea slowly wanes, and the fatigue eases (I’m convinced whoever called this the “blissful trimester” never experienced it), I spend my days chasing after my toddler, a welcomed distraction from the business of work, and enjoy this continued excitement for Sinners.”

She also revealed that she is launching a clothing line for mothers called Iyadé, which means “mother has arrived” in Yoruba.

“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.”

Mosaku concluded by framing her news on her own terms. “So, all of that to say: This is my anti-announcement pregnancy announcement. Sacred. And scared. Say a prayer for a safe arrival and recovery.”
