The Levitating singer told the US host: "This is ridiculous, so, obviously you can see all the emojis above, I like finding random little emojis, so I put a little baby bottle, a little angel, some sparkles – all random - I really didn't think this through.

"And then I posted it and looked at the comments, and then somebody says 'Is she pregnant?' and I look at the picture, I look at the comments and think, 'Surely I don't look pregnant?'"

The 25-year-old added: "And then I saw that people had been writing stories saying that I had posted a cryptic message that I might be announcing my pregnancy, and I was like 'Oh my god, these emojis have come to bite me', and so I just deleted the caption, but I wasn't smart enough and I didn't take it off my twitter … I am not pregnant just to clear it up!"

Dua's post got fans wondering if she's expecting

The singer, who was born in Kosovo and moved to London as a teenager to pursue her music career, has been dating model Anwar Hadid since the summer of 2019. The singer and the model, whose sister is fellow model Gigi Hadid, are usually private about their love life, but Dua did open up about their romance to Vogue back in January 2020.

 "We have all these incredible memories and experiences, and if there's something that we want to share together, then OK that's fun," she told the publication. "But at the same time, we're quite private — we'll only show you as much as we want you to see.

"It's a little bit of give and take, trying to find the right balance of being so excited and being in love, and wanting to share that with the people around me, but at the same time not wanting to put too much out there."
