Sophia Grace Brownlee, who found fame in 2011 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with her cousin Rosie McClelland, has shared a major life update. 

The now 23-year-old and mother-of-two announced on Sunday that she is pregnant with her third child. Sophia Grace, who hails from Essex, showed off her growing baby bump in a heartwarming video montage featuring her two young children. 

The star wore a lovely white dress that hugged her pregnant figure while carrying one child in her arms and holding hands with the other. She then sat down to show her two little ones a printed sonogram of her third baby.

"We are so excited to meet you," she captioned the clip with Daniel Ceasar's track, Best Part, featuring H.E.R, playing in the background. Sophia Grace has kept her relationship with her long-term partner out of the spotlight and has not disclosed his identity.

Family journey

Sophia Grace became a mother in February 2023 when she welcomed her first child, a son named River, at age 19. 

"I am sure a lot of you will be shocked as this unexpected. I was also shocked when I found out and I got used to it and I am super super happy now," the British influencer shared at the time in a YouTube video announcement.

She then had a daughter named Athena Rose in December 2024. Sophia Grace's younger cousin Rosie, whom she went viral alongside in the 2010s, was present for Athena Rose's baby shower in November 2024.

The former child star opened up about becoming a mother at a "quite young" age during a recent podcast appearance in February, admitting, "I don't regret doing anything because I'm happy with where I am now". 

"It's obviously young to have kids, but I don't really think there's a right age to have kids," she said on the Private Story podcast. "As long as you're ready and you're mature enough, that's all that matters," she added.

Cousins Sophia Grace and Rosie became internet sensations following their rendition of Nicki Minaj's hit track Super Bass in 2011. The British duo, who were at the time eight and five respectively, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres show where they famously met the rapper whose song landed them on TV.

The two made over 30 appearances on Ellen's talk show, including when they sat down with Taylor Swift in 2012 for their "Tea Time" segment. Sophia Grace and Rosie returned for the long-running show's final episode in May 2022.

"The whole time that I've been online, I was younger and people saw me as a little girl in like a tutu and a tiara," Sophia Grace told E! News in 2021. "I'm still the same person. I still have the same crazy personality, but I just look more grown up."
