Tasha St. Patrick is knocked up!
Just months before “Power” returns with the new season, star Naturi Naughton revealed her baby bump today and her pregnancy news. Awww!
The 32-year-old Jersey gal and her longtime boyfriend Ben are expecting their bundle of joy this July. She told People magazine,
“It’s been a little surreal, but I feel really good, healthy and strong.”
She revealed she found out she was pregnant in the middle of shooting the new season of “power,” and her co-stars immediately went into protective mode over her.
On covering up her pregnancy while shooting this season
“I had maternity jeans they ordered for me, and I do a lot of tops that are peplum-style. I was amazed at how un-pregnant I could look.”
On Being Pregnant While Working
“They’ve been really good at keeping it on the low, but they’re also super excited,” she says of her “Power” family at Starz. “Omari [Hardwick], who plays my husband, we have kids on the show and he’s like, ‘Now you get to be experiencing motherhood in real life!’ Everyone’s been really supportive.”
On Health & Pregnancy Upkeep
“I love kale, I love strawberries and pineapples, but I’m not proud of this … I’ve been eating Cup Noodles. I really want salty, spicy things, and Cup Noodles has been really awesome. I haven’t had one since college!”
No word yet on whether this will be written into the storyline since she was pregnant while shooting, but we would TOTALLY be here for it.
