"I didn’t want to come out on social media so early on," she explained at the time. After "months of hiding" her stomach, she added that it’s been "a really lonely journey."

"I think pregnancy is awesome for the most part, but it’s also really f–king lonely," she continued. Now, the 32-year-old actress says she’s finally feeling "extremely confident … because I have my baby growing inside me."
