After months of speculation, Kerry Washington has confirmed she is pregnant.

As soon as the “Scandal” star stepped on to the red carpet at the “71st Annual Golden Globe Awards,” Twitter was buzzing that she appeared to have a visible baby bump under her light grey Balenciaga gown.

Washington made it official when she said to E! red carpet host Ryan Seacrest, “I have the best date of the night. My little accessory here,” then rubbed her stomach.

Back in October, news outlets began reporting that Washington was pregnant with her first child with husband, former Oakland Raider cornerback, Nnamdi Asomugha.

But the fiercely private actress didn’t comment on the news until Sunday night. The couple was married last June.

Washington is up for the Best Actress in a Drama award for her role as Washington fixer Olivia Pope on ABC’s “Scandal.”
