Wunmi Mosaku made a stunning appearance at the 32nd Annual Actors Awards on March 1, 2026, donning a bespoke red gown by Louis Vuitton that showcased her growing baby bump.
During a conversation with ET’s Kevin Frazier, the Sinners actress, who is anticipating the arrival of her second child, shared insights into her experience navigating the awards circuit while pregnant.
“Today marks the end of a grueling 15-day stretch,” she revealed. “Just yesterday, my feet were incredibly swollen, like an inch deep and so soft. I won’t sugarcoat it; it’s been quite the ordeal with all the travel involved.”

As the awards season heats up, speculation is mounting that she might have a favorable chance in the supporting actress category at the Oscars. However, she was quick to dismiss the notion.
“I don’t know anything about that,” she said. “I literally try and just do a day at a time and live with no expectation because expectation means attachment, and attachment feels dangerous.”
She first revealed her pregnancy in an essay for Vogue, where she described the news as something deeply personal.
“I have some news. Beautiful, personal, sacred news. A prayer, really,” she wrote.
“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.”
Mosaku explained that in her Nigerian culture, pregnancy announcements are often kept private.
“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 said the growing visibility surrounding Sinners made it difficult to keep the news under wraps.

“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,” she wrote. “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.”
Mosaku welcomed her first child, a daughter, in 2023 with husband Tash Moseley
