Rapper steps out at fashion show, lets her bump do all the talking for her

Rapper Lil’ Kim has been keeping a very low profile for the past several months and we now why: the 39-year-old star stepped out the other day for a show at the New York Fashion Week and flaunted her huge baby bump. She is pregnant with her first child.

Not that she ever was a very talkative celebrity when it came to revealing intimate details about her personal life, but Lil’ Kim has managed to surprise everyone, including her most loyal fans, by keeping the news of her pregnancy a secret for so long.

No one knows who the father is either.

By the looks of her bump, she is farther along into the pregnancy than 3 months, which is usually how much most stars wait before announcing the happy news to the media and the world.

The rapper didn’t say anything to the press as she emerged from the event either, but she was wearing a body-hugging long dress that did all the talking for her. The dress was black, with a colorful and bejeweled front, thus drawing even more attention to her bump.

In some of the photos now available online, she was also holding a protective hand on it. So, obviously, spoken confirmation of the happy news is not even needed anymore. The Daily Mail and Too Fab have photos of Lil’ Kim leaving the show.

Singer and reality star Tamar Braxton and celebrity gossip blogger turned bona fide celebrity Perez Hilton were also present at the show, and they both went on Twitter afterwards to break the news to the world. We’re assuming they got Lil’ Kim’s ok before they did that.

“Me and a very PREGNANT #LilKim at #TheBlonds show. Congrats, boo!!! #NYFW,” Perez says in a post accompanying the photo you can also see attached to this article. “Awwwww congrats @LilKim on your little one😘,” Tamar gushes.

Congratulations are definitely in order.
