Zonnique Pullins announced that she's expecting a baby girl with Bandhunta Izzy, her boyfriend of two years. Currently five months into her pregnancy, Zonnique admitted that she wasn't thrilled at first but is now excited to bring a new life into the world.
"I have a million brothers and sisters so I've always been the one like, 'I'm not having a baby anytime soon,' " Zonnique said. "That was always my thing. So I was kind of sad at first, and my boyfriend was really excited from the jump. He was like, 'You know it's whatever you want to do.'...But after a while, I'm like, 'Now I feel like I can do this. It's something that will mature me and change me in a great way.' I'm trying to wrap my head around it, and now we are here."
Explaining what it's like being pregnant during the coronavirus pandemic, Zonnique added, "It really sucks being pregnant during the coronavirus. At first, I'm like, 'This is the perfect time, like, everybody is locked in. I don't have to worry about going out. So if I want to hide it for however long, I can hide.' But when it comes to going to doctor's appointments, I go to all of them by myself. I ask every single time, 'Can I bring my boyfriend?' And they're like, 'No, only you can come.'"
Zonnique broke the news to her stepfather T.I. on the premiere episode of her talk show The Mix, which can be viewed up top.
"I felt like it may be a little funny to get his reaction," Zonnique said. "He can't get mad or anything. Even my real dad [Zonnie Pullins], I just told him last week, to be honest. You're always your dad's little princess. So, I just wasn't sure how he'd feel."
