Is Tracee Ellis Ross’ Rainbow Pregnant on “black-ish”?
Published at
ABC/Tony Rivetti(NEW YORK) — When black-ish returns Wednesday, Tracee Ellis Ross’ character Rainbow may have a “little secret.”
“Dre thinks that Rainbow is pregnant,” she teased on Monday’s Good Morning America. “And perhaps she is, perhaps she isn’t.”
On black-ish, Ross portrays Rainbow, a doctor and mother of four kids. Her husband, Dre, is played by comedian Anthony Anderson. The series follows the family as they navigate life in the suburbs.
The actress said it’s no secret why so many people have connected with the comedy.
“We’re a loving family and I think that’s one of the beautiful lessons of the show that [we have] all these differing opinions, all these differing ideas and somehow even though [we] might all disagree about the way things should go, or look, or whatever, you find your way back, and there’s this love between the family,” the daughter of Diana Ross explained.
Although Tracee Ellis Ross is filming black-ish, she had time to co-host BET’s Black Girls Rock, which was taped last Saturday at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, New Jersey, but airs April 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Among others, the awards show honored Jada Pinkett Smith with the Star Power Award, Cicely Tyson with the Living Legend Award, Erykah Badu with the Rock Star Award and Selma director Ava DuVernay with the Shot Caller Award, among others.
“The show itself is just the tip of the iceberg for what the organization does, [which is] empowering young women and making sure that we have generations of trailblazing women,” Ross said on GMA. “But it was an exciting show. We had Mrs. [Michelle] Obama, the first lady, was with us all night.”
Obama spoke about the importance of education during her address at Black Girls Rock. She also told the honorees, “I am so proud of you. My husband, your president, is so proud of you. We have so much hope and dreams for you.”
Black-ish airs Wednesday nights at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
