From the deepest of secrets, Shay Mitchell has done a 180-degree turn, by allowing the world follow her as her pregnancy on social media.
The Filipina Canadian announced in late June on social media that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Matte Babel. She kept it a secret from her fans as long as she could. Approaching her sixth month, she revealed her pregnancy on social media with a very tasteful topless photo.
"Does this mean I’m allowed to drive in the car pool lane at all times now?" she joked, captioning a topless maternity shot that showcased her growing baby bump.
Mitchell's pregnancy announcement came just five months after the actress revealed that she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage.
In a YouTube video, titled "Guess Who's Preggers," the actress detailed the lengths she went to hide this pregnancy early on, describing it as a "really lonely journey."
"When you're in the public eye, there are some things you want to just keep a secret until you feel ready," she said in the video, which gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at everything from an ultrasound appointment to her maternity photo shoot.
Mitchell, whose breakthrough role was in the Pretty Little Liars series, said she was ready to announce her pregnancy when she "couldn't hide it anymore and was tired of wearing oversized sweatshirts."
Mitchell, 32, also announced her pregnancy via a teaser for her new bi-weekly YouTube Original Series, Almost Ready. The sneak peek shows her with her boyfriend, TV host Matte Babel, 38, at her pregnancy shoot. The two have reportedly been dating since 2017.
The new series documents Mitchell's pregnancy journey. New episodes will be released every other Wednesday beginning on Wednesday, July 17.
