Sophia Grace Brownlee has announced that she is expecting her second child.
Brownlee, 21, revealed her pregnancy in a YouTube video posted to her account on Sunday.
Brownlee rose to fame when she became a viral sensation after appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show as an eight-year-old singer, performing a Nicki Minaj song alongside her five-year-old cousin, Rosie McClelland, now 17.
The YouTube sensation welcomed her first child, a boy named River, last year.
“As you can tell by the title of this video, I’m expecting my second baby,” Sophia began. “I’m so excited to be doing this video, I’ve been holding it back for a long time. I actually saw some of you guessed it in the comments and I really wanted to say, ‘Yes, I am.'”

“I’m currently 19 weeks, almost 20. I’ve had two ultrasounds and so far everything has gone well,” she said.
“Because I’m a very paranoid and anxious person, I always like to wait until I’m at least close to week 20,” she explained. “And I’m almost there.”
“So I thought it would be the perfect time to announce it,” she shared.
“I’m actually going to reveal the gender today and that video will be coming out soon,” he also revealed.
“I’m only about 20 weeks along at the moment, but I already have a little bump,” she said.
Brownlee also described how happy he was to give his son an older brother: “Because they’re close enough in age, they can grow up together, and I think that’s really sweet. I always wanted a brother that was close in age, and I didn’t have one, so I want to do that for River.”
British-born cousins Sophia Grace and Rosie first went viral over a decade ago when their parents posted a video of them covering Nicki Minaj’s hit song, Super Bass.
The duo subsequently made numerous appearances on The Ellen DeGenerous Show, charming the powerhouse comedian with their adorable accents, precocious personalities, and love of pink tutus.
