"Btw the last one was a joke I don't know," she added, referencing the name of Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter.

Sophia Grace—who found fame on Ellen at the age of 8 alongside Rosie, then 5, when their rendition of Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" went viral—revealed in a YouTube video on Saturday, October 22 that she is expecting her first child.

"I am here to tell you guys that I am pregnant," Sophia Grace said. "So I am 21 weeks today, and the reason why I left it so long is because I always want to make sure that everything is completely fine and that everything's safe."

"I am sure a lot of you will be shocked because it probably was quite unexpected," she continued. "I was also shocked when I found out and I got used to it and I am super super happy now."

The singer also revealed that she knew the sex of her baby but plans to share the news in another video. Sophia Grace and Rosie appeared on Ellen more than 30 times, meeting celebrities including Nicki and Taylor Swift. The Essex, England, natives made their final appearance in May this year, weeks before the show ended.
