The last time the term ‘pregnant’ trended on social media was probably when Serena Williams won her 23rd Grand Slam title. Back in the day, the then-Australian Open champion, won her season-opening title, when she was 20 weeks pregnant. And now, it’s the world-renowned R&B singer, Rihanna’s turn to bring the term back to trending with her Super Bowl LVII half-time performance. The singer delivered a magnificent performance at Arizona’s State Farm Stadium. However, what attracted the attention of every tennis and Rihanna fan was the fact that the singer was pregnant.

And it certainly brought memories of the ‘Queen of the Court’s’ last Grand Slam triumph, where she cemented her place in history!
