Zoella sparks speculation she’s PREGNANT as fans go into meltdown over her ‘water birth’ tweet
ZOELLA fans have gone into meltdown over speculation that the YouTube giant is expecting a baby with her vlogger boyfriend Alfie Deyes.
Rumours have been circulating that 27-year-old Zoella, whose real name is Zoe Sugg, is pregnant after she tweeted about water births.
Zoella, 27, from Brighton wrote on Twitter: “Me & Alfie talking about water birth: Me: Do you know why they need a sieve? Alfie: To catch the baby.”
It appears the light-hearted tweet was intended as a joke, as the sieve is actually used to catch excrement and other “debris” during birth.
But the tweet didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who immediately started to question whether the popular star, who has over 11 million subscribers on YouTube, is having a baby.
One said: “Is this your sneaky version of a pregnancy announcement?”
Another tweeted: “My question is why are you guys talking about birth unless SOMEONE is pregnant?”
However, some slammed fans jumping to the conclusion of the stars having a baby.
One said: “Love how you talk about water birth and everyone is like OMG you're pregnant, some people are a little too excited.”

Combined, the couple has a following of over 15 million on YouTube, so it is no wonder that any rumours of a baby have caused interest among fans.
Zoella’s site reportedly earns £50,000 a month and she has recently been named the most powerful beauty vlogger by Forbes Magazine.
She first started uploading videos to YouTube in 2009 and has gone from strength to strength.
Each video lasts between 10 to 20 minutes and sees the pretty brunette talk to camera about everything from lipstick to anxiety, pets and beyond.
The vlogger has opened up about the crippling anxiety attacks that made her feel like she was “being attacked” – and even made her turn down the chance to meet Prince Harry.
Her debut novel Girl Online was released in November 2014. A sequel, Girl Online: On Tour was released in 2015 and a third entitled Girl Online: Going Solo was released in November 2016.
Zoella featured on the chorus of 2014 single Do They Know It’s Christmas as part of the Band Aid 30 supergroup, raising money for the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa.
The Sun Online has contacted Zoella’s representatives for comment.
