Taking to Instagram, Bea said: “Dignity Intact. Got pregnant so I could try & put something beside Paul Rudd’s face to make him look older.”
She went on to thank Rudd, Herzog, Kelce and “our angel” Sheryl Crow for allowing her to get up on stage during the country singer’s performance to show off her bump “in the most dignified & classy way possible”.
She continued: “Just to note if you use sharpie pen on your skin, it will be there for about two days. Just if you are weighing up what a commitment to an idea is worth. Gentle dermatitis is the answer.”
At the end of her post, she cleared up any confusion over whether or not her announcement was a joke: “Yes I am pregnant. This time it’s not a joke about bread.”
Her clarification is in reference to another post from 2021, where she posted a picture of her bloated belly, which led to speculation about her being pregnant.
Bea also had some famous faces in her comments section, wishing her congratulations, including Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, Amy Huberman, Laura Whitmore and Jedward.
