Y’all, the BET Awards red carpet wasn’t just serving looks—it was serving tea too! Actress KJ Smith had the internet screaming after she accidentally revealed the gender of her baby with hubby, Skyh Black. Sis thought she was just talking cravings, but one little “her” later and—BOOM—the secret was out!
KJ, glowing and gorgeous in a flowing, yellow gown that draped perfectly over her third-trimester bump, was asked a simple question about pregnancy cravings. During a lil red carpet chat with People, she casually mentioned that lasagna and fries didn’t sit well with “her” and immediately dropped her jaw, joking that the reporter needed to “cut” the big news. The slip had both her and Skyh Black cracking up, with him playfully calling her out: “She’s been telling me the whole time, ‘watch yourself!’” Whew, the way he snitched right back!

Skyh was beaming with “girl dad” energy, telling reporters he’s already been shopping like crazy. “I’ve bought so many things from 0‑6 months that she’s telling me to stop,” he said with a grin. Additionally, it was just last month when the couple announced the pregnancy in stunning maternity photos.
And if you forgot—this couple has been giving love story goals since ‘Sistas.’ After meeting on set, dating in 2021, and tying the knot in a dreamy Malibu wedding in 2023, they opened up in Essence about their road to parenthood, including KJ’s journey with fibroids and PCOS. KJ even revealed that she “convinced [herself] that [she] didn’t want to have children,” following her health diagnosis. And now, she’s seemingly picking out strollers. Talk about blessings on blessings!
