Wunmi Mosaku showed off her growing baby bump in a custom red Louis Vuitton gown at the 32nd Annual Actors Awards on March 1, 2026.
While chatting with ET’s Kevin Frazier at the event, the Sinners star, who is expecting her second child, opened up about navigating awards season while pregnant.
“Today is day 15 of a 15-day week,” she said. “Yesterday my feet were so swollen. They were like an inch deep, like squidgy. I’m not going to lie. It’s been a lot. And a lot of flights.”
With awards season in full swing, there’s been increasing buzz that she may have “a leg up” in the supporting actress race heading into the Oscars. She quickly brushed that off.
“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
