The 19-year-old ‘Ellen’ star also explains why her fans still haven’t seen her man in over two years – or even learned much about him.
For almost as long as she can remember, Sophia Grace Brownlee has been a public figure, having appeared as a child – and many times over the years – rapping “Super Bass” on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” alongside her young cousin. Rosie McClelland.
She’s been pretty comfortable living her own life in the spotlight, for the most part, but it doesn’t carry over to other aspects of her life. While she opened up about her recent pregnancy on Oct. 22, her partner in that venture remains largely a mystery.

“Because I’ve always been in the spotlight, I feel like I want something to keep to myself,” Grace told E! News explaining why his fans know so little about this mysterious man (not even his name!).
She said it helps their whole relationship and him to be “something that I can keep private and can just have fun and not have to share it with everyone”.
The viral star also suggested that part of it might also have to do with her boyfriend himself, and whether or not he’s ready to come into the public eye.
She told the outlet that she would be “completely happy to share it” and have it in her videos, “But I feel like when he’s confident enough to be there, then maybe we could do it.”

Although she’s not going to talk about him just yet, Sophia shared her reaction, saying she “shared it right away” when she found out she was pregnant.
Sophia shared that she had complete confidence that her man would make a great father, saying that in many ways she felt like they grew up together. “It will definitely turn us into real adults and then we can grow together and start a family.”
She said he was immediately happy when she shared the news. “Obviously both quite shocked at first and also upset because he’s young too,” added Sophia, who is 19. “But now that we’ve gotten used to it, we’re both very excited.”
19 is definitely considered young – or even too young – by some people, who didn’t hesitate to share their opinions on his life and his choices on his YouTube channel.

Even Sophia acknowledges that 19 is young, telling E! News that “most people say, ‘You should be having babies at 30, you’re married and you live in your own house,’ which is totally fine.”
But that doesn’t mean it’s the right path for everyone. “As long as you feel ready and it’s something you’re happy about, then it’s really nobody else’s problem,” she said.
Conversely, positively, she has also had tremendous support from her fans, which she says has helped lift her up and give her confidence.
For now, she relies on the support of her friends and family and feels positive and excited about her growing family.
In her October 22 announcement video, Sophia Grace said she was 21 weeks old and teased that it could go so far as to change the direction of her channel.

“I can’t wait to share this journey with you and I definitely have a lot of different content than I usually have,” she said.
She then showed off her growing baby bump to the camera. Standing up, she said, “At the moment it’s sticking out a little, definitely more than usual. It’s a little swollen. So this is what I look like at five months.”
Sophia shared some ultrasound pictures she received, sharing that the scans went well and that everything was fine for her and her baby.
At the time, she asked her followers to “only comment on nice things because we need a lot of positivity”, and stressed that “negative comments will be deleted”. Unfortunately, many negative comments were and are scattered on his social media pages.
Promising new videos every Saturday, Sophia teased that in the next one she would reveal the gender of her video, which she already knows – but strategically, she didn’t relish it at all!
