She also acknowledged that she was aware of the online speculation surrounding her pregnancy. "I know that there were a lot of people who would always comment and be like, ‘We know girl, we know.’ And I’m like, ‘OK, that’s great that you know, but I’m just going to chill,'" she said. 

Halle further addressed how she maintained her "energy" throughout the pregnancy, especially as she was busy promoting 'The Color Purple.'
