Tiffany Haddish wants everyone to know she is not a new mom.

While guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, Aug. 19, the 45-year-old comedian addressed the speculation that she secretly had a child with Hollywood Unlocked founder Jason Lee.

“Two weeks ago, I put something on the Instagram that made everyone go a little crazy,” she told the audience during her monologue.

The confusion started when Haddish shared a photo of herself and Lee holding a baby with the caption, “Cats out the bag.”

“For some reason, people saw this and thought I had a baby,” she explained. “Like, there were articles about this everywhere. Even my own relatives were asking if I had a secret baby…”

Haddish then turned to Lee, who was in the crowd, to weigh in on the frenzy.  “The whole world has lost their mind over this beautiful baby,” he said.

The comedian clarified that the child wasn’t hers at all, but their “godbaby.”

“We just took a picture with a baby and then that went crazy so now we got a godbaby.”

Of course, Haddish couldn’t resist adding her trademark humor.

She joked, “Jason, the offer still is on the table if you want to make a real baby together.”

Lee quickly shut that down with a laugh, reminding her, “And I’m still gay,” drawing laughs from the audience.

“So just to be clear,” Haddish concluded, “I did not have a baby, but I am open to it… Wide open to it.”
