Atlanta rapper Young Thug has ignited a flurry of excitement and speculation after announcing that his girlfriend, R&B singer Mariah the Scientist, is pregnant. The announcement came on November 13, 2025, at the GQ Men of the Year party held at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood.

Young Thug, when asked by TMZ about Mariah's absence at the event, revealed that she was performing at a show. He then added, "I just put a baby in her," which immediately set off a wave of reactions from those present. The seemingly casual yet explicit announcement has since spread rapidly across social media and entertainment news outlets.

Mariah the Scientist was not at the GQ event due to a prior performance commitment. She is currently preparing for her "Hearts Sold Separately" tour in 2026. Young Thug hinted that she might even perform while pregnant. Sources estimate that the baby is expected to arrive in the summer of 2026, potentially a Leo zodiac sign.

The news arrives as a surprise to many, considering the couple's rocky past. In October 2025, Young Thug confirmed on a livestream that Mariah had broken up with him. This followed challenges such as leaked jail calls and admissions of infidelity. Young Thug publicly apologized to Mariah on social media after the breakup. The pregnancy announcement signals a reconciliation and a new chapter for the couple.

Despite the relationship's ups and downs, Mariah has been a constant source of support for Young Thug, especially during his ongoing legal battles related to the YSL RICO case in Georgia. Simultaneously, she has focused on building her own successful career. Her recent singles, "Burning Blue" and her collaboration with Lil Baby, "Always n Forever," were both certified Platinum this fall.

Young Thug's personal life has often been in the public eye. He has six children from previous relationships. In 2022, the mother of one of his children passed away.

The announcement has already sparked conversations about how pregnancy and performance might intersect in Mariah's upcoming shows. Fans are speculating whether she will adjust her tour schedule or incorporate the pregnancy into her performances. As of now, Mariah the Scientist has not officially confirmed the pregnancy, leaving fans eagerly awaiting her statement.
