The Halloween-themed promotions seem to have confused many fans.
Key Takeaways
- Anitta posted a photo showing off a pregnant belly and an ultrasound of the “baby.”
- However, she is likely not actually pregnant.
- The photos are promotions for her upcoming collaboration with The Weeknd “São Paulo.”
Anitta, the Brazilian singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress, posted a photo on Saturday (Oct. 26) wearing a spooky Halloween mask and showing off a significant belly.
The post was captioned, “It was meant to be kept a secret….“
The next day, she posted an ultrasound of the supposed baby with the caption, “Isn’t he beautiful?“
While many fans, including fellow pop star The Weeknd, congratulated her, many signs hint that pregnancy is an elaborate promotional for an upcoming project.
Anitta, the “Queen of Brazilian Pop,” performed live with The Weeknd in São Paulo on September 7, 2024.
The energetic one-night-only event saw the two stars tease their new collaboration, “São Paulo.”
Since then, fans have eagerly waited for the release of the song.

The pregnancy and ultrasound photos are likely promotional for the song’s release.
Anitta modeled at the L’Oréal Paris Fashion Show on September 23, 2024, where she showed no signs of pregnancy.
She wore a Mugler full-red leather outfit, showcasing her usual sculpted body with a flat tummy.
In the aftermath of her initial pregnancy post, The Weeknd reposted the photo on his X and wrote,
@Anitta you hid it so well in São Paulo

The belly bump was likely a prosthetic. However, since the photo did not show her face, the face behind the mask could be an entirely different person.
After she posted the ultrasound picture of the supposed child, many flocked to congratulate her in the comments.
The Weekend commented, “WOW! HE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL 🥲.”
However, there was something odd about the fetus in the picture; the head looked abnormally large, even for a fetus, and the face vaguely resembled the aliens from the Alien vs. Predator movies.
Some comments pointed this out. One user commented, “It looks like death 💀.” Another commented, “São Paulo is coming.”
The date in the ultrasound read 30-Oct-24, which is likely the release date of the upcoming song.

- Anitta is currently dating Vinicius Souza, a Brazilian footballer who plays for Sheffield United.
- She holds a Guinness World Record as the first solo Latin artist to reach number 1 on the global Spotify chart.
- She’s worked with big names like Madonna, Cardi B, J Balvin, and Ozuna.
