Fil-Canadian celeb Shay Mitchell is pregnant and won't you look at her glow!
Filipino-Canadian actor and recent Philippine visitor Shay Mitchell announced on social media Saturday she's expecting her first child with her boyfriend Matte Babel.
"There is something in the oven and it's not my pizza!!! WOW... It's kind of surreal processing the fact that another human is growing inside of you," Shay wrote in a YouTube video caption where she shared most of her pregnancy journey.
She described her pregnancy as "exciting, nerve-racking, difficult and emotional all at the same time."
Shay said she has been excited to announce it so she can finally freely wear over sized sweatshirts.
The "YOU" star said she and Matte are "beyond excited and looking forward to starting a family."
"I've learned so much about myself and parenthood over the past 6 months, and feel like I haven't even scratched the surface! It's going to be a wild ride!!" she added.
In the YouTube video, she said it's been hard for her to keep her pregnancy a secret for a long time but she said "This is gonna be really fun and awesome when I'm not trying to hide it anymore."
The Hollywood star said hiding her pregnancy has been a "really lonely journey."
In the video, Shay showed a few behind-the-scenes clips of her maternity shoot with Matte, saying photo shoots are important because "they really enhance yourself confidence and I'm like I haven't done that in so long. I've been hiding it."
She decided to put up her glamorous pregnancy shot on Instagram along with her YouTube video where she showed some the lows during her pregnancy.
Does this mean I’m allowed to drive in the car pool lane at all times now?

"It didn't feel right to just put up a photo and be like I'm pregnant and have people just think that it's just peaches and rainbows," Shay said in the video.
"Now it's about us and I never want it to be like I'm not confident of us. I'm extremely confident now because I have my baby growing fast."
So excited is Shay that she promises to post vlogs on her YouTube channel every other Wednesday.
Shay revealed her pregnancy just six months after her miscarriage, which she announced in January — the same month she swung by the Philippines with Penn Badgley to promote her Netflix series "YOU."
She's due on July 17, 2019.
