YouTuber Colleen Ballinger, known best for portraying the character Miranda Sings, announced she’s pregnant with twins Thursday.
The 34-year-old YouTuber shared the news with her fans less than a week after announcing that she was pregnant with her second child with her husband, Eric Stocklin. The video of her pregnancy update has over 464,000 views at the time of publishing, less than two hours after it was uploaded.
The video begins with text that said she found out she was pregnant on April 16 and found out she was having twins after she rushed to get an ultrasound on May 5 after experiencing some “concerning complications.”
“I’ve been crying all morning thinking I had no baby and I have two babies!” Ballinger said in the video.
Ballinger shared a video montage of her telling her family and friends, including YouTubers Joey Graceffa, JoJo Siwa, and Todrick Hall.
The Miranda Sings performer has been candid about her experience with pregnancy and the hardships she faced. In February 2021, she posted a video on her vlog channel announcing that she had suffered a miscarriage.
“Even though I hate pregnancy and mine was extremely traumatic with Flynn when I found out I was pregnant, I was scared to be pregnant again, but I was really excited to have another baby,” she tearfully said in the February video. “But then I had a miscarriage.” She ended the video by saying she was still committed to making content for her subscribers, and she did.
In her first announcement Monday, she said, “I’m just so happy. I wanted this so bad. We’re so excited. We really were just trying and hoping for this. This is very exciting.” She continued, “That’s a very shocking thing to say because, if you’ve watched me at all in the last three years, all I ever say is I’m never getting pregnant again. That was the plan until I got pregnant.”
“I feel so grateful that it only took a couple of months for me to get a positive test because I know that there are people out there that try for years and years and years and continue to see that negative test,” she said.
Ballinger said she is currently two months pregnant and is expected to give birth in December.
