Overview

• While guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! on August 19, Haddish told viewers she did not have a baby.
• She joked the infant in the viral photo was their “God baby,” said she is “open to it” when it comes to motherhood, and invited prospective suitors to reach out.
• Jason Lee, seated in the studio audience, quipped “The whole world has lost its mind” and replied “And I’m still gay” after Haddish’s riff about making “a real baby.”
• The speculation followed an early-August Instagram post of the pair with a baby captioned “Cats out the bag,” with outlets differing on whether it went up August 3 or 4.
• Haddish has previously discussed plans to adopt that she put on pause in 2021, and PerthNow notes both she and Lee were once in foster care.
