The internet lit up recently when stunning photos of Brazilian music sensation Ludmilla and her pregnant wife Brunna Gonçalves began circulating online. Known for her record-breaking success as the first Afro-Latin American female artist to surpass one billion streams on Spotify, Ludmilla shared exciting news: she and Brunna are expecting their first child together. While the announcement was met with joy and congratulations, there was one detail in the photos that had many fans scratching their heads.

A Love Story That Captivated Fans

Ludmilla and Brunna’s relationship has long been admired by fans for its authenticity and inspiration. The two first met in 2015 when Brunna joined Ludmilla’s team as a backup dancer. At the time, Ludmilla had not publicly come out, and Brunna had never been in a same-sex relationship. Their bond started professionally and slowly blossomed into something much deeper.

Their romantic journey officially began in 2018. Just over a year later, on December 16, 2019, Ludmilla surprised Brunna with a heartfelt at-home wedding ceremony, cementing their relationship in an intimate, personal celebration of love.

Now, in 2024, the couple is celebrating nearly six years together and five years of marriage—an inspiring milestone that adds even more meaning to their growing family.

The Baby News That Took Social Media by Storm

To share the pregnancy announcement, Ludmilla and Brunna posed together in a series of beautiful photos. The two wore coordinated neutral-toned outfits that emphasized warmth, intimacy, and unity. Fans across the globe were thrilled to hear about the upcoming arrival of their baby girl.

But the buzz quickly turned into curiosity when many viewers noticed that Brunna’s abs appeared unusually defined for someone visibly pregnant.

Comments flooded in across social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), with users expressing both awe and confusion. One user wrote, “Abs and a baby bump? I’ve never seen that before.” Another commented, “Pregnant belly with abs is insane.”

Speculation Surrounds Brunna’s Visible Abs

While some were simply amazed, others were skeptical. A few users speculated whether Brunna might have undergone a cosmetic procedure to maintain such definition. One theory that kept surfacing was abdominal etching, a specialized form of liposuction that removes fat around the muscles to give the appearance of sculpted abs.

Medical experts explain that abdominal etching is different from standard liposuction. Instead of only slimming down the area, the procedure focuses on enhancing muscle definition by strategically removing fat around the abdominal wall.

Though this procedure is rising in popularity and is considered relatively safe when performed by qualified professionals, it’s rare to see such results maintained during pregnancy—when the body is constantly changing.

A Viral Reveal That Mixed Art and Emotion

On November 9, Ludmilla took to Instagram to post a creative and touching video to announce the news. The video showed her painting a blank canvas in bright colors while Brunna danced gracefully nearby. As the artwork developed, it revealed an image of a baby—making the announcement both artistic and emotional.

The next day, fans were treated to more heartfelt moments as Ludmilla posted concert photos taken in São Paulo. Onstage, the couple laughed and embraced, clearly overjoyed and eager to share their happiness with the world.

A Dream That Grew Over Time

In a recent interview, Ludmilla reflected on how her perspective on family has changed since falling in love with Brunna. She admitted that before their relationship, she had never imagined herself getting married—let alone having a child. “After meeting Brunna, everything changed,” she shared. “I want to have a child because I want my child to know me, to understand what I do, and to grow with love.”

Brunna echoed those feelings in her own comments. She started testing for pregnancy just four days after the embryo implantation, despite doctors recommending a wait of at least nine days. “On the fourth day, I took a test, and it was negative. I said, okay, that’s normal,” she explained. But the next day, she noticed what appeared to be a faint second line. “I took several more tests, including a digital one. When it said ‘Yes,’ I finally believed it.”

What Do Doctors Say About Abs During Pregnancy?

Medical professionals point out that during pregnancy, the abdominal muscles stretch as the uterus expands. These muscles help support the spine and allow movement. But as they stretch, they can lose strength and are less effective in their usual roles—especially in later trimesters.

This is why exercises like crunches or sit-ups are generally discouraged during pregnancy. Not only are they ineffective due to muscle separation, but performing them while lying on the back can reduce blood flow and lead to dizziness because of pressure on major blood vessels.

That said, every pregnancy is different. Some individuals retain a strong core early in pregnancy, especially if they maintained a high level of fitness beforehand. This might explain how Brunna is able to maintain such a toned appearance—though it doesn’t rule out the possibility of past body sculpting procedures.

A Celebration of Love, Family, and New Beginnings

Despite all the chatter, one thing is crystal clear: Ludmilla and Brunna’s joy is genuine, and their excitement about becoming parents is deeply felt. Whether their abs are natural or the result of a cosmetic procedure is ultimately secondary to the love and unity they’ve shared throughout their journey.

Their story continues to inspire people around the world—not just for breaking boundaries in music, identity, and love, but also for embracing a future filled with new dreams and responsibilities.
